Hey Betcoin;) I'd like to hijack the question you asked another user about soccer competitions and offer some opinions. I took part in a lot of the competitions you offered in the past and I thought they were great (biggest winning parlays etc) but I guess you remember the feedback that it still benefits players who spam post a lot of parlays to win.

Prediction based contests are always the most popular, I've seen others do it and they get a LOT of participation but I understand also for the book, you want wagering also, otherwise no growth and no traction!

So have a prediction type contest, BUT to minimise a lot of spammers and fake accounts, WHILE also getting some volume from the competition, think about a mechanism that asks people to actually bet. This can either be charging users a nominal amount just for a chance to play OR giving players more entries for every amount wagered. E.g. Pay 0.1 mbtc to participate, or win 1 entry for every 1 mbtc bet on certain markets.

Alternatively, don't associate an entry fee but use something like your parlay contest but have like a whole campaign lasting maybe over 30 days. With last man standing to win a prize pool. Give people a week to sign up, and then once it starts, every day, to remain in the race, you must BET a certain amount AND WIN a certain amount, to progress to the next day.

e.g. Bet live or pre-match single or parlay a total of 2 mbtc a day. MUST also win 0.5 mbtc a day. After 30 days, all remaining players share a prize.

P.S. Bring dice back =D

Hello, this is a great comment.

What you are suggesting sounds similar to the NFL promo we are running now. What are your thoughts on this? It has been very well received.

We agree that the parlay promo was a player favorite and have updated it previously, based on player feedback. We will definitely try and get that one back in 2021, with some updated rules.

Dice is back and improved:
