So, if bankroll is over 10.000 BTC, we have no commission at all ? That feels bad.

It is literally the opposite. The higher the bankroll, the higher the commission. To the point 10k BTC bankroll would mean 100% commission. So basically the size of the bankroll is capped.

This all screams "honeypot" to me.

Hm? On the one hand you're supposedly concerned about users' privacy ("honeypot", no Monero or whatever) but at the same time also criticizing that bustabit doesn't collect enough personal information. Most of your questions kind of have pretty common-sense answers though:

* Geoblocks are extremely ineffective, the average crypto user has a VPN and can switch countries in 30 seconds. It makes more sense to simply ask the person, as if a user wants to get around your restriction they will do it anyway. And the US is pretty much the most common VPN endpoint due to no-mandatory-logging laws and proximity to most online services.

* You say deposits are fully traceable and zero due diligence is done, which either makes no sense or you know something we don't

* Of course many players break even. Many lose money too. Many make money. That's kinda how a casino works. Your example is of someone of someone breaking even is someone who made 104 BTC. Roll Eyes

* Obviously bustabit has way more volume than sites like rocketpot.io. I can think of several factors that virtually guarantee it. bustabit is the original, they're a clone. The tripled bustabit's house edge, so that by itself would lead the average gambler to run out of money 3x as fast (and thus wager less, and have as much fun and less likely to come back). And the entire site makes a bunch of nonsense claims like their clone (literally using the same code) is an "exclusive game" and bullshit like "and the house gains confidence that all wins are legitimate" which I believe is just plagiarized from bustadice's multi-party system and has absolutely zero applicability to them. So no surprise they do shit volume

Can someone explain the bankroll investment changes in layman's terms? I'm confused. Preferably comparing how it works now to how it now will work.

Currently there's a grandfathered in offsite system, it's been deprecated for a long time (still exists, but no new users can use it. Old investors can only decrease their offsite). That is fully going away, which will create a more level playing ground for all investors. Currently bustabit charges 50% commissions on profit, but Daniel is changing it to "bankroll/10000btc". So on day 1 it will be marginally less commission, but as the bankroll grows the commissions will keep going up and up and up, and virtually guarantees that bankroll will never go above 10k btc. As the bankroll goes up, returns for investors will go down, which will cause investors (at least like me) to divest. So it'll reach some equilibrium somewhere between 5k and 10k btc I imagine. (i.e. commissions between 50% and 100%). As an investor, I think of it as bad news. But I can also see why Daniel doesn't want to pay investors more than he needs to do.
