Hey guys! Cloudbet team back again to answer forum questions that have come in so far:
You just copy all the odds from pinnacle, so what would be my purpose to bet with you guys and not with pinnacle directly? (pinnacle has slightly better odds)
We offer Higher limits (no limits bets), same game parlay, and the cashout function for live sports. Sports bets also contribute to our all-cash rewards program.
Compared to Pinnacle, we offer more cryptocurrencies (41+), a $2500 welcome offer, same game parlay, cashout and loyalty benefits.
I don’t see a lot of innovation in the sports betting section to be honest (last 4 years at least)
What is Cloudbets vision? Being a soft bookie and having a lot of cool innovative offers or winner's welcome bookie with limited odds?
We’ve launched our new sports beta this year with improved UI and better features.
Our vision is simple: be the most innovative sportsbook that can take the biggest bets in sports. We’re building a platform that combines high limits and fast payouts with new features, unique markets and rewards that keep betting fresh and exciting for both serious and casual players.
What updates about cloudbet since you stopped promotional campaigns since years in bitcointalk?
Over the years we've added loads of new markets on the sportsbook side, some before anyone else. Horse racing, virtual sports, live in-play betting, cash out, same game parlays, and more have all become industry standard by now, but most recently we launched a Trade Execution Engine that allows our users to access global liquidity and place bets of virtually unlimited size that no other operator could feasibly trade. You can read about that here. On the casino side, we've added leaderboards, chat, custom tournaments, and thousands of slots, live tables, and provably fair games, including several exclusive to Cloudbet. We also launched the single most generous loyalty program in the industry, giving users both consistent rakeback on all bets, and a steady stream of regular (and ever increasing) rewards based on their play. I'd say we've basically been laser-focused on building the best possible experience for users. It hasn't always turned out perfect, but the effort has paid off for players, and there's more in the pipeline we can reveal soon.
Did you use another marketing strategy during the last few years?
We've been slow and steady on marketing, but recently rebranded to prepare for some serious efforts in sponsorships and partnerships. So far, that's included a major push into MMA through partnerships with both the PFL and Karate Combat, and top fighters and personalities in the space like... We also really want to do a lot more in the crypto space again. That could be sponsoring conferences, getting involved in some of the foundational work going on, or anything else we (or you — suggestions welcome!) can think of.
We would like to know how you maintain the system during the last few years, and if absence from bitcointalk has any influence on traffic and returns, and how you decided to come back to bitcointalk in full enthusiasm?
Our ethos is to operate as a legacy-first company. We favor our OGs and take pride in our long-term players.
Recently, we have amped up our marketing activities by partnering with the PFL, Karate Combat, launched new community features, a new sports beta, a new casino beta and are looking into improving our on-platform and off-platform community features to improve camaraderie. Stay tuned!
Bitcoin Talk is our home, its where we launched and were arguably the first to launch. We’ve never left, just been dormant while working on our re-design. We are back and intend to stay.
If I may add, will the team release a date and time ahead of the said monthly live discussion? I think it’d be easier for folks to hop-in if there’s a set schedule as opposed to random time.
The answers here come from leadership in the company, so we will gather questions here and answer as soon as possible (like this reply is less than a month!)
I’d like to know more about your plans for this new phase. Are there any new features or special contests for forum players?
We will create Bitcoin Talk-specific promotions and run more competitions, signature campaigns, review campaigns and re-introducing ourselves to the community here. Do you have any recommendations of what you want to see?
What coins are customers not allowed to withdraw if they have accounts that are not KYC verified?
Only SOL requires KYC. The other tokens should be fine but please keep in mind that KYC can be requested at any time.
