The game based from the images looks bearable at this point but my main concern about betting games like this is they do need to have a license first before they legally operate in a betting game. So my question is are you already licensed and if you are what is the jurisdiction that grant license for you? Since I didn't see any mention about the legality of your game I am presuming that you are still unlicensed for it so I think you should also manage some time in getting it before you even try to make your website officially running.

Thanks for reply. I would not say, "Bearable", There is some more progress than in the pictures.

And about the license, you are right, I'm not an legal expert, but I had in mind no license, not sure if it's needed since, it's not gambling nor "real betting", it's not like sport where you bet for a team, or you gamble against the casino, not sure if this applies here, here in Spain cryptocurrency is not considered as a currency. Maybe there could be a legal void to workaround? Like using different terms, or buying something in the website that allows you to play, something like coins that have 1:1 value tied to bitcoin, not sure.

I would stop you right there. Any game that involves players putting some money on it to win is considered as gambling. No matter what you call it may it be as a wager, bet, or prize money it still counts as gambling and you need a gambling license to legally operate your Checkers game. Now I would understand if players doing side bets externally from your website but if bets/wagers are done internally which involves the use of your website then it counts as gambling. You may also think that Checkers might not be a normal game for gambling that's why you think there is a exemption but the thing about gambling is it involves money and that's it.

Yea, make sense, then I think I can just throw this away and work on another idea. Could I still sell this project to someone interested, you know some place where I can sell this? I mean, I invested over a year of my time into this, ofcourse it started as a side project to learn, but it started to grow and grow until I got this idea, but well, not wasted at all.

Quick question, all bitcoin casinos or gambling site with crypto do they have licene? all of them?

OP don't give up so easy. There's always complications, you've gotta look how to get past that - especially I've you've dumped a year of your time into it.

What about the regulatory systems of different parts of the world? There's a bunch of places that either have super lax licensing or don't have it at all. If you domicile your company there and are "regulated" by them, that could be a solution.

Also if you can make the game fully decentralized and autonomous then anyone that wants to play can make deposits into the smart contract required and you have your hands off the steering wheel.

Anyway, maybe you should pivot, or maybe you should keep going, but you shouldn't base your decisions off the opinions of other people at the early stage you're at.
