I think tons of people get fairlay confused, fairlay is not a sportsbook, fairlay is a peer to peer exchange

This is what you get when you have people just going through threads of services they have never even used themselves,,, just posting and smearing and thinking they are doing everybody favors.

@Degens BTC is able to use smart contracts just not as easily I would say as Ethereum,,, I do not know how to myself. But this is also the other problem with non BTC to me,,, gamblers are chiefly BTC betting people:)

Yes, we tend to target people that are already familiar with the ethereum ecosystem, and don't target BTC betting people as ethereum has a higher learning curve. Most people just want to bet with what they are familiar with, BTC, and not learn a new process which totally makes sense.

Give it a few years, and I suspect most bettors will be betting on non custodial smart contract platforms based on ethereum or a competing blockchain, none of which will require KYC.

are you saying BTC people are dumb? what do you mean higher learning curve

No not at all.

Using Degens has a higher learning curve for BTC dudes, as it requires learning what Metamask is/does. It requires using a DEX such as uniswap to convert ETH to DAI. It requires understanding a Betfair-like interface with back/lays bets. It requires understanding the concept of gas, and why it can be high/low at any given point.

Compare this to telling a person to send BTC to nitrogen.eu and place a bet at a familiar sportsbook interface.

So unless the user was already very familiar with the ethereum space, I'd recommend they use nitrogen or fairlay to be honest due to the high learning curve.
