How much do the people who run these programs make?
Not very much, our lowest take is %5. The consolation prize is a direct percentage of our profits, so you can do the math from there to see how much money we made on any particular round.
Shouldn't his be under gambling section?
This thread was made before any of these forum accounts could post outside this section, right now we're holding back on making a new thread because...
any update guys? eta on v.2. of the site? Current site is dead as a dodo and no tweet or anything to reassure people so they ever come back, is this wise?
We're still working on version 2 right now. The ETA is about 1-2 weeks, we ended up scrapping the original backend in favor of a much more robust one, that could be more easily extended to add more games. We're not going to make a new thread in any forums until version 2 is complete. We're currently running a testnet closed beta version of the site while we develop it.
