Exactly, this is not a business, it's a passion project of mine. If people like it, definitely cool, if they don't, fine as well.
Also, it is not a site for gamblers. It is a skills-based game that you can play with friends using Bitcoin lightning technology which I wanted to get more familiar with. There are free options but even the paid options are virtually free and cost a couple sats at the moment.

So, all I can say is, try out the free option with a friend or with the bot if you want and if you like it, try the paid arenas. You don't need to risk anything and if you go for the paid option, you risk a couple sats that I "could run away with". But I don't need that fortunately. Would be rather pathetic if I did.

I understand that people would like some clarity what they are getting into but

a) the barrier of entry of my game is basically zero. as stated, you create an account in 3 seconds (no mail or anything required) and can play for free immediately.
b) even the paid arenas are far from being 'high stakes' in any way

If you don't view this project of yours as a serious business which you could profit significantly from in the near future, then it would have been better for you to share all this in the section of the forum dedicated to projects development. There are many LN enthusiasts there and they would definitely appreciate whatever you have to show there.

People are talking about your "professionality" and your presence in this thread, because in this section we all are accustomed to threads to be opened to offer services by casinos or bookies, which see themselves as serious and reliable businesses in the long term, rather than seeing personal projects made for the sake of fun or amusement.
So some people may feel confused on how serious this project of yours is, that's all.

It's not a business but still a serious project. Both can be true. But thank you for the hint. I initially skimmed the forum and thought that this category is the correct one, even though my project is not a casino or gambling site per se. But upon second thought, it might make more sense in the project section as you recommend.

EDIT: I am locking this topic here as I created a new one in "Project Development".
