All come have ends and for running for 8 years we can say that they been successful for their operation, but at this point its seems that they are in the edge as they are not delivering good exposure compare before. Lets do hope that they are just dealing with their personal issues since its still good to see them running for more long years as they are still consider one of the best casino exist.
I wouldn't say they would be "gone" obviously, but they will probably not be as good or as liked as they used to be. This means that they need to do a lot more marketing to get people, which is not simply be enough if they keep doing signature campaigns that keep getting paid late all the time. They need to do a lot more promotions, bonuses and campaigns that would be a lot better. Doesn't mean that they have to giveaway a lot, but in a world where the big names are distributing millions a year, this place offering the smallest amount for signature campaign and then not even paying that in time, thats not really enough for them to get back.
They would not be gone but it is very possible if players decide to go and stay away from Bitvest if the situation is getting worst or no improvement from Lightlord.
Activity from the owner in this forum is the most important thing for now IMO, I know Lightlord has health problem but I think he can hire some staffs to cover his inactivity.
I would not even talk about signature campaign, it will be useless if lightlord is still inactive and will make people doubt about the payment as what happened in the past unless he send some money in escrow.
