great to see that mintdice team is active here again in the forum. sometimes when people don't see the casino's advertisement, they tend to forget.
but just want to ask about the step one verification, is it necessary to fill-up the full address? i believe country of residence is more than enough. this may stop some gamblers to register on the site.
and as you mentioned spotsbook above, does it mean that mintdice will be exploring the sportsbook business anytime soon?
The process is built to be about as painless as possible. Anonymous registration is allowed, all that is required is a username. For full registration, you are just required to input an e-mail address.
There are some country requirements that have to be enforced for legal requirements as per our gaming license and contract with third party gaming providers. We're all a bunch of freedom loving libertarians but we can only exercise our beliefs as far as is legally/logstically possible.
Construction for a gaming suite and sportsbook is already well underway. We had long talks with many providers and already signed an agreement some time ago and have had development on these products for months. The first ones should roll out much sooner than later. I'll publish a roadmap once I have some time as I mentioned earlier, hopefully this week.
It's not a dying website, quite the opposite. We've just been entirely focused on building out our infrastructure over marketing in the mean time. We'll be making a bigger push to marketing once our platform is developed enough to a level that suits our needs. Anyone that uses our website in the mean time is more than welcome to enjoy the experience as we continuously upgrade and improve the user experience, but it's not mandatory in the mean time

We're very much not short term profit driven, we're in it for the long run.
Good to see the official verdict on the progress of the site. Since you said your focus will be on marketing, so how about starting a long term signature campaign here on this platform ? Those gambling projects who have a long term campaigns on bitcointalk are doing good business as they get a lot of players from bitcointalk. MintDice can follow the same practices and gain more popularity,
Almost no shot that we do another signature campaign, but thanks for your interest.
