Hi,
I have some questions where I have been thinking about the past week.
Why do you trust some website/company with your bitcoins?
Let's say a bitcoin casino, what makes you deposit bitcoin?
Is it the provably fair? Does it mean you trust a site when the game is fair?
Is it the looks of the site? The amount of users there are? If there is an open chat where you can see active users?
Or something else that doesn't have a game that's fair, for example a bitcoin exchange, how do you trust them?
Overall: What makes you trust bitcoin related services?
Another question: What does a new service need to earn your trust?
1. Never had any issue regarding deposit and withdrawal
2. Low withdrawal fee
3. Excellent service, including support
4. Low service fee
5. No shady promotion
Withdrawal issue, especially for big ones, is a red flag. I've seen numerous shady exchange and casino not processing big withdrawal. They'll look for mistake to not making your withdrawal. For example, they could say you own multiple account thus violating their ToS. This is bullshit. Stay away for site that does it. As for gambling site, additionally, I like the one with the lowest house edge.
While all of those things are very important to me two of the most important aspects of any bitcoin related service are their reputation and how long they had been in this market, a casino that has been in this market for years and their customers speaks highly of it is way better in my opinion than a new casino that has a lot of complaints about their services, only after I know that a bitcoin related service has those two aspects that is when l begin to look at other desirable characteristics.
