Hi.
I run BitsinoDice which is open source.
https://github.com/Bitsino/BitsinoDiceBasically, no site starts out passive, but may become passive later. The flow of money is simple.
Visitors -> Registrations -> Deposits -> Profit ?
The problem is firstly getting traffic. Secondly a dice site runs a house edge typically of 1%, however this is an average over many bets, you could lose the entire capital of the site through a few lucky customers.
So even if you are able to get a constant flow of traffic you have to look out for security issues. A security issue could also wipe out your profit.
Good luck.
