Incoming revenue is near-zero right now, there are 2-3 players a day and the site is winning maybe 1k-2k satoshi daily - it is absolutely tiny right now, since there is no marketing activity going on. With marketing, this site could do VERY well! We have been involved and setup sites before that have done amazingly.

All it needs is a marketing plan and budget!

STARTING BID: 1 BTCitcoin.

What justifies the price of 30K USD for a brand new casino with almost no traffic and active players?
Someone has to pay you 30K USD for the casino and invest thousands of dollars for marketing afterwards, only to get a few hundred active players. It might take several years to such casino to return the investment and earn a profit(and nothing is guaranteed).
What's the point for someone to spend 30K USD for your website, instead of building his own casino website from scratch?
Running a business requires consistency and perseverance. The gambling business is just like any other business. The competition is brutal.
It seems to me that you have given up too quickly, or you are trying to make some quick money.

Okay, good questions, please allow me to unpack them individually;

Why 30k;
1. The price is ~30k because we include full source code to a completely UNIQUE platform that literally nobody else has. Yes, there are other peoples versions of such systems, but this is ours, written BY us and used BY us - it is unique and is the pinnacle of years in this ultra specific niche. In this regard there comes the inherited opportunity to re-brand and on sell many times - by whitelabeling a software platform of their own they would now own, they can resell many such sites if they wanted.

Market is risky;
2. Yes, we agree it takes many thousands to invest into marketing with an unknown and sometimes a slow return on investment (and sometimes none!) when launching a new brand. It is difficult and fraught with issues, the risks are high but so are the rewards - this is the casino business... those two things go hand in hand. Most 'whitelabel' providers of live roulette software (bear in mind ZERO source code of game client, server or otherwise included) are typically in the 25k+ minimum range, with strict monthly contracts in the thousands before making the first dollar.

Why not roll your own;
3. Building the Casino platform is fairly typical you are correct, but building the game provision (game servers and game clients) of their own live streaming game from real casinos is not typical, and not easy and not fast or cheap. It happens yes but usually under the wallet of wealthy investors and bigger company plans, not as operators (such as this) but as 'providers' (which the buyer can easily become, since they get full source).

Why did we 'give up easily';
4. In the event of a sale, we would be giving away THIS platform (and source) and ready to move on to our NEXT platform with some marketing budget, moving us closer to an all-round success. We do not have a large bankroll and what there is must remain in the 'cashier' for players. We do not have the needed or estimated 5k-to-50k per month it would need in a marketing spend to really get it off the ground. Maybe someone else does so we make a good offer for them.

One of our goals is the development of the games and wish to provide these, eventually, to many sites - in that regard if we sell a few sites 'cheaply' early before marketing spend (so the WIN goes to the buyer if they market it) we gain a kitty we can launch our next site with a proper 6month marketing budget and reach a successful market position without inviting 3rd party external investors.

Why no investors ?
For the very same reason we are here today - because they can 'walk away' leaving a project incomplete and plans unexecuted, which is what occured here. We HAD an investor for the bankroll and marketing, we were ready to launch - however once we opened they walked away and we are left high and dry, with no real way to approach the market successfully as quite literally ALL marketing costs money.

Don't get me wrong, I very much agree with what you've stated - and as having worked in this industry (and been a part of many successes in the past) I know what it takes better than most and marketing is right up there at the #1 position. If you care for an anecdote I have always termed this issue "farting elephants". What I mean by that is it really does NOT matter what the product is, it could literally be farting elephants (look out there at what actually makes money) - what makes a success is what is marketing right, not what is the best product. So endlessly perfecting 'the best product' is not the path to success, but any path to the fastest or best marketing is. Farting Elephants.

This is a really good and important conversation to have - not just for a buyer but for anyone in the industry - and they are great points you have raised.
