You can say you don't think it's worth it because the costs/risk outweigh the incentives. But obviously there are incentives. Not paying for paper checks? Not paying third part processors?
Casino sites benefit *** dramatically ***...
When the withdrawal process is difficult...
They end up with ALL the money over time.
Also, Casino administration cost = security...
Requiring ID from players = security...
It's the only way to create illusion of "fair games".
BitCoin poker requires a completly different mindset...
A completely different Business Model...
You are trading Low Rake (1% range) for Zero Security...
Players must say, ok...
I will play against bots/colluders for Low Rake/convenience.
Rake can never be ZERO...
It has to cost money to attack the site.
One basically has to re-invent online poker...
With dozens of creative changes...
That make it suitable for anonymous BTC play...
Starting with a focus on SNGs and MTTs...
Much wider payout structures to discourage cheating...
Extensive use of Shill Bots (labeled as such)...
Doing everything possible to level playing field...
To make it more chance than skill...
Makes it >>> suitable for BTC, low stakes, average players.
Online poker today is 100% Built For Sharks...
Basically, only idiots/sharks play online poker...
BTC poker works much better if Built For Fish...
So an average person can have a good time.
The right BTC poker permutation would go viral.
