Contrary to what you may think, Satoshidice is a very valuable brand.
This is certainly not because they 'want to get rid of SatoshiDice'.

How much is the value of the brand SatoshiDice? The most valuable part of a website only operation is the traffic to the domain and not the brand itself.

Why want Rakki N.V. no longer use the "very valuable brand" SatoshiDice and instead decided to put a lot of money and time in to introduce the brand MegaDice?

Are you able to understand that the brand SatoshiDice is gone? Only the domain satoshidice.com is left which redirect to bitcoinvideocasino.

By Satoshidice brand I mean the connected satoshidice.com domain privilege. Sorry for the confusion there.

Rakki N.V. no longer uses the "very valuable brand" because Rakki N.V. no longer owns the satoshidice.com domain because "The owners of SatoshiDice.com had other plans for SatoshiDice.com".

Until we get some input, we can take Megadice, satoshidice.com and bitcoinvideocasino to be different entities.

SatoshDice and MegaDice has the same operator and is therefore the same entity!

I mean satoshidice.com not SatoshiDice.

Quote

If MegaDice is a new operator/entity and they want to take over the satoshidice.com domain, then they logically want to redirect satoshidice.com to megadice.com

If MegaDice finds it expensive to take over the satoshidice.com domain?

Quote

If MegaDice is a new operator/entity and only want to use the SatoshiDice software but not the domain, they would create their own company to run MegaDice. They also would not want to use staff from SatoshiDice who destroyed the brand.

There is no reason why they should not use the same company or hire the same staff.

Quote

If MegaDice is SatoshiDice, then everything makes sense:

There are quite significant changes that support the possibility of a change in ownership/management.

Is it possible that Rakki N.V. never owned satoshidice.com domain in the first place? The domain leased out to Rakki N.V. who hosted the game with Satoshidice brand. Later the owner of the domain gets a better deal from bitcoinvideocasino, and Rakki N.V. moves out to a new domain with Megadice brand?

No, most part of the $12 million SatoshiDice purchase was paid for the traffic to the domain satoshidice.com. Therefore, we can exclude that the domain was leased.

If the brand SatoshiDice would be the valuable part, then bitcoinvideocasino would have changed its name to SatoshiDice instead of forwarding the traffic from the domain satoshidice.com to bitcoinvideocasino.

That makes absolutely no sense lol!

This is the best theory so far. It explains that there was no need to move the cold storage too.

This theory is absolute nonsense, because the operator of the website need to have access to the cold storage to pay larger wins and not the domain holder who lease it to the operator. Hence, an absolute brain wash theory! Roll Eyes

I really have no idea what you are talking about. Cheesy
