Editor's Notes
Specifically, bitcoins. In addition to an online casino, we’d like to create a gambling network that is comprised of community members and developers alike.
The current environment for online gambling is a crowded one full of regulatory hurdles, technologic embarrassments, gaudy ads and a disparity of offerings across platforms. There is a very low bar for trust (read: legitimacy), a lack of technical professionalism and a terrible user experience.
There are currently 11.5 million bitcoins in circulation.Q1 2012 -> Q1 2013 : tablet 5.95% -> 10.5%Q1 2012 -> Q1 2013 :smartphone 5.42% -> 10.44%Prior to the boom of BTC in early 2013, competitor sites (only offering casino games, sports betting) SatoshiDice and BitZino turned over half a million USD each in the latter half of 2012.Our biggest challenge will be to get enough bitcoin owners, so we’ll use marketing money to give out promotional btc to better poker players, more to come on that in later slides.
*lower stakes for different blind levels on the poker rake
Potential sites to show ads on.
Estimates per weeklyfreeroll tournament are 25 new users when we start per tournament and then 200 per tournament by the summer of 2013.With our estimates we think we’ll be able to get costs of user acquisition down from the industry standard (which is currently $150-300) to $50We will still test the ad markets of tech relevant avenues (4chan, reddit, etc) to see if we see similar acquisition costs in traditional venues.ASSUMPTION WITH THE REVENUE FROM POKER #: 6 Month revenue per player is $180 USD
