Hey guys, quick update about how things have been going and some news about the referral system.
Firstly, we apologize for down time that was caused due to us updating our SSL certificate so that our site now makes use of HTTPS and WSS. Secondly and more important, we received some down time due to a DDoS attack today (our very first, we're no longer DDoS virgins now, hooray).
This particular DDoS attack is known as HULK attack. This attack is specifically designed to prevent server defenses from recognizing a pattern and filtering the attack traffic which utilizes a bot net and proxies. We were able to combat and mitigate this attack within 6 hours by utilizing THOR - more can be read about it here:
https://www.trustwave.com/Resources/SpiderLabs-Blog/HULK-vs--THOR---Application-DoS-Smackdown/This attack has made it clear to us that our competitors see us as an imminiate threat and see our potential is real. To further combat such issues in the future we are reaching out to professional pen testers to begin testing our systems via black box and red box testing as well as conduct our own internal white box testing. We will be posting the results of these tests in the near future and we thank you for commited support and interest in the GameBet venture.
And now the less techy stuff - Referrals:Our system makes use of a multi-tiered referral system. That means, you will receive income from not only your referrals, but your referrals's referrals! To give you a working example of this, I will explain both situations using our
default referral values:
Suppose there is Peter, Quagmire and Joe:
Peter says "Hey Quagmire, check out this cool site GameBet I think you'll like it" and links him to his referral url.
Quagmire says "Wow peter, this looks like a cool site" and signs up.
Peter has referred Quagmire (so referrer = Peter, referral = Quagmire).
A small percentage of Quagmire's losses will go to Peter due to our referral system.
"Hey Peter, I bet 10 GG on that site you showed me and lost... but at least you got 0.10 out of it right?" (1% of referrals losses go to the referrer).
Quagmire gets his friend Joe to signup.
Quagmire has referred Joe (so primary referrer = Peter, referrer = Quagmire, referral = Joe).
Joe bets 10 GG and loses his bet, but 1% (0.10) will go to his referrer (Quagmire) and 0.5% (0.05) will go the primary referrer (Peter); and the remainder (in this case 98.5%) will be a part of the loser pool that got distributed to people who bet correctly on that match.
The more people you refer, and the more people they refer allows you to have a greater residual income as they gamble on the platform.We expect to have another update for everyone early in the week.
