The fact is, the bankroll size has been decreasing steadily since devans changed the bankroll rules a couple months ago, from ~4900 bitcoin to ~4200 now, so if the goal is to reduce the bankroll size the previous rules seemed to be working just fine.
I suspect the reason the bankroll has been decreasing is just related to the value of bitcoin has been going up. Daniels last rule change has (accidentally?) strictly benefited investors, so I doubt there's been much divestment because of it
The only way it's "increased" is in fiat size, which I don't understand why it would even be relevant.
Well the bread-and-butter of the casino are people who put a % of their paycheck into the casino each month. So if you plot "amount wagered" in BTC and USD, you'll find it's far stabler in USD. So from that point of view, it makes much more sense targeting a fiat amount.
I think the (strong?) counter-argument to that would be that the (large) bankroll isn't needed to service the typical customer -- it's there to service whales. I strongly suspect the average bustabit whale *isn't* buying BTC to gamble, but already has acquired the bitcoin (probably a long time ago). So from that sense, it makes sense to target a BTC amount? (Or at least a moving average with an extremely long tail)
I wish we could just have a set % taken as commission without making this as complicated as humanly possible. Change it monthly if you'd like.
Yeah, I hope before the change happens we have much clearer information and examples. Also a page that just clearly says what the current commission is, and what it has been every day of the past.
Just-Dice has a pretty nice thing:
