thanks, for the clarification, I'm aware that devans/Daniel is the owner. I have a decent % of my networth on his website, obviously I trust him.
I honestly don't expect to get real btc delution fee credit, I still think it is a bad idea to trying to reduce the bustabit bankroll.
There are so many clones out there that have better graphics, boni, more coins, VIP systems, affiliate commission etc. Still people play on bustabit and I think that is due to those two reasons.
A) Trust
B) Gigantic betting limits for whales
Reducing the bankroll will make the whales unhappy and we just had a whale who went for max win possible per hand. Obviously there are also lots of customers who enjoy watching the whale action.
I have a feeling this change will reduce the bankroll, but also the overall betting volume and overall profit for devans and investors.
I don't see any reason why the bankroll would become smaller than 5,000 BTC. At that size the commission rate is the same as it is now and investors are currently happy to be invested. A max profit of 50 BTC is still significantly higher than that of any other Bitcoin casino I'm aware of. Even WangTang_V2, the largest high roller in bustabit's recent history, only placed four bets that wouldn't have been supported by that bankroll.
In my experience high rollers are more concerned with the wager limit–which would technically still be 5,000 BTC in the scenario above–than the max profit. Of course I might be wrong and bustabit might lose out on a high roller that wanted to win 70 BTC per bet instead of 50 BTC, but that's a possibility I'm willing to accept.
I strongly consider removing (parts of) my investment simply because my EV is going to be much lower without the offsite investment. I know some other bankroll investors who feel the same way.
Yes, I know that I can just deposit the offsite investment and put it in the bankroll. Third party risk is already high enough, I still wanna sleep at night.
