But since they at least said some sort of update now, that they will start and test it at stake.us, I guess it is now that far in the future to see the final product. But do I know it? Sure not! With stake we never know!
Yeah. I'm not holding my breath for it this year since they might eventually launch it next year or later.Since I am not an active Stake user I guess they will not see me until the next year, if they add poker...
Exactly my thought.
After my level up, which is most likely next week, I will become inactive as well.
As soon as they offer poker I will give it a shot and see if there is money to be made but until then I place my bets at pinnacle since the odds are considerably higher there.
These micro bonuses now don't even the missed out money because of the low odds.
Anyway, maybe we can make a raffle, haha. When will stake officially offer poker on their main site.
You place your bets at Pinnacle, but do you already play poker in other casinos, or other poker sites as well? Unless you're truly a poker player, what difference would Stake bring for the users of BitcoinTalk if they develop and build their own poker service? Why would you say that you'll leave them if they don't offer poker?
Yeah, I don't understand why stake is taking so long. Poker is the one they they are missing, basically what the whole crypto gambling thing is missing. There is so much money to be made without any risk, just make the platform and collect rake. With such a huge player base it's such a waste to not implement it faster!
Well first of all, the poker market is pretty dry and there isnt that many money to be made unless they integrated themselves with the GGpoker network which is currently the biggest poker network around. On top of that, poker has really strict policy on wether you are allowed to play in the respective country or not and in this case a crypto casino, isnt that really strict on that
The poker market is also heavily centralized. In most countries, the power lays within few entities, and to enter their market means a very large amount of hoops, networking, etc. I do not think that Stake have this kind of weight in any sector...and while they might release something interesting, it will probably be inferior once the vale of excitement has gone.
Maybe, if their reputation was not so damaged and their image was in a much more positive light...I don't think that's how it will play out though. Just by observing the business during my visits to this board and the scam accusation board, I think that mostly their existing members will play out of excitement, then the concept will bust. We will see, if it gets released.
It's probably also the smallest and most competitive market, but if Stake believes that they found an opportunity to build something profitable in the Bitcoin/crypto community, then they should hurry before another casino takes the opportunity, no?
