We are live!!! Really looking forward to see you all in my dms and share feedback, questions or whatever comes to your mind. Happy to launch today.

The World Cup is here. Bet with us. Or bet worse.

We just launched FairGambling Research with some unique Duel insights. Expect more original stories, deep-dives into different topics, and industry knowledge going forward. Check it out on @FairGambling

Duel launched Rock Paper Scissors - no house edge, just live 1v1 PvP. The whole point: 100% RTP. Nobody makes money on the round itself - it's just a fair 1:1 online matchup. You create a game, set your bet size and accepted currencies, or join an existing one. How the PF works: both players' picks get hashed (SHA256 a client key) and locked in before either side reveals. After the round, both keys and picks are published - anyone can recompute the hashes and verify neither side changed their pick mid-game. True 1v1, no house in between. Maybe we can do RPS tournaments for now - no more giveaways, just double or lose your prize.

Mapping crypto casinos to their launch dates on the total crypto market cap chart What the chart shows: Half of the now-big players launched way back. The OGs - Stake, Roobet, BCGAME, Gamdom - still do approx. 70% of deposit volume in the space. Stake alone is responsible for roughly half of all on-chain tracked volume and is clearly still leading the market. But the new wave is already here: - Winna & Rainbet both launched end of 2024. Today everyone knows Rainbet, and Winna is already a top 10 crypto casino - Duel launched 10 months ago and is already top 6 - Thrill is one of the bigger names despite launching only a few months back Shuffle is the clearest story. A solid number 3 for nearly a year now - and it looks like it launched at the perfect time, right in a bull phase, which probably fueled a lot of that early growth. For context: just holding bitcoin in your hot wallet over that same window would've 3-4x'd you while launches like Winna & Thrill pretty much marked the top Which makes sense when you remember how this space actually works: people make money off newbies and VCs pumping fresh money in before the next 'rug' or exit liquidity event. But once crypto people aren't busy battling each other and just play the 24/7 wealth inbreeding like one big family from Alabama, bull markets are good for everyone - suddenly everybody's rich on paper, right up until the bubble bursts and everyone's suicidal again (2017, 2021). 2024 already felt less exciting - BTC dominance back at 60%, everyone underexposed on bitcoin, overexposed on garbage alts. tldr: the old players still 'own' the space and made a fortune just holding their own coins - but the last 18 months brought real competitors, and now with Dicey, Degen & LIQD experienced operators are entering too. Let's see how this chart and the total market cap look in 12 months - then we come back with updated numbers.

Here's a quick breakdown of Thrills' new Baccarat game: payouts, probabilities, and where the house edge comes from. The bets: - Player pays 1:1 - Banker pays 0.95:1 (5% commission) - Tie pays 8:1. Side bets include: - Player/Banker Pair at 11.50:1 - Either Pair at 5.50:1 - Perfect Pair at 25:1 - Player/Banker Bonus paying 1-30:1 depending on win margin. Where the 1.06% house edge comes from: - Banker wins ~45.86% - Player wins ~44.62% - Tie ~9.52%. Banker wins more often, so the 5% commission balances it out → 0.4586 × 0.95 − 0.4462 = -1.06% The other bets: Player (1:1) → 1.24% edge Tie (8:1) → ~14.4% edge. Fair payout would be ~9.5:1 Pairs (11.50:1) → ~3.9% edge Check the provably fair verifier on fairgambling.com/provably-fa…

Amex and co. compete on a few % cashback, lounge access, and miles. tuyo plays another game, random transactions get marked as free. no loss for the customer, but zero transparency on what's happening behind the scenes. Pure black box. same as credit cards, people will spend more than they can afford to chase that "maybe free" hit. wouldn't surprise me if there's an algo behind it that hooks you on the first few transactions

just tested out @Roobet's new prediction markets feature. identified this as one of their Polymarket ledger wallets so far: 0x42477970683d4d0a52ec7082fee5d760cc5591c4, verifiable on @Polymarket. ran a few test trades to see how it behaves. doesn't seem to affect bonusing or wagering ,makes sense at 0% house edge. looks like they're executing orders directly on Polymarket. no clue yet how this holds up on bigger orders and slippage
