I want a new cash gaming site!!!

[theartsyone]

... I was thinking that perhaps a prototype could be made, using an amount of capital that I wouldn't need to actually raise from any investors, and take it from there.

Okay a prototype -- so starting things off with a site, a game and the ability to win cash. In addition, your layout has room for growth and investors with deep pockets. Ultimately it's a site of the same beast as King and WW but it's just blooming. I still think starting off with very few or one game would be fly-by-night. And honestly, it just sounds like the simple route which doesn't make it appealing or exciting. It would feel like a guy(or gal) pulled together a website overnight and now they want me to deposit money...???

I think SkillVille started off with too many games so don't duplicate that, but don't go two few either. I think if you can get five-seven original polished games that could be all swapping/matching/puzzle games and put it on an attractive website, that's a great start. And you've definitely got to look harder than some cheap looking flash game with crappy graphics. I'd make the games apps too because it's such a growing market

I also think starting off with just multi-player jackpot tournaments could be better for a smaller site than skill-matching tournaments. I'm done with the concept of "fair-matching" because we all know it's total BS so why not just toss that out and have open progressives, royal-cup style games, and/or fixed jackpot tournaments that anyone can enter until they are blue in the face. You can have free practice games as well as the ability to challenge another member for the people who need that one-to-one face off. Initially the jackpots could be $100 and if you can afford to do them daily that would rock.

And if you can't do cash starting off with a points based-system is another way to go. You've have to really monitor that but jackpots are worth x-jewels that can be cashed in for gas cards and stuff. I don't think that's attractive as cash, but it might work if the prizes aren't too good to be true. KadoKado has this large player base and even if their prizes are just amazon gift certificates, they got all these people playing interacting in "clans" and winning challenges that it keeps things interesting so you're not just waiting around for tournament to close so you can get your $5 prize. Maybe your start-up site a merge between cash-gaming and prize-gaming.

Another way to launch it, is that your site is an app through facebook. It might be the way to get as many folks as possible playing on it first and then it becomes it's own flashy website.

I should do some of these things instead of just writing about them...

My favorite skillgaming portal right now is Tipp24Games.de. They have very high quality games, take only 2 days for a withdrawal and 1 day to reply to an e-mail. Besides they have a free telephone support number and a support chat. However, the site is German only and I am not sure whether there is a feasible payment option for people from the US.

WHOA WHOA WHOA... this is the kind of stuff you need to be sharing on here!!

I checked on whether US customers are allowed, and they are:

Very interesting. I wonder if they do a wire transfer though, because most US banks take $10 to $15 on incoming international wires.

Let us know how it goes, I might just have to give it a try.

By the way, if you don't mind doing a wire transfer to withdraw funds, you can also play on funwin.com. The site is in english--they don't have a bejeweled knock off (i think) but they have a "chuzzle" like game and tons of fun card games. I just looked on the site and they don't have any mega jackpot tournaments right now which is odd, but they several fun games.

A few months since the last post, but what skill game websites do you guys recommend then, apart from King?

I tried WorldWinner but it's tough to do well on that site, although I've made a tiny profit. I've heard about sites like Game Duell and Gotya, are they any good? Or any other sites that are any good?

Thanks :P

I like Gameduell a lot, but let me get back to you on whether I get my 1st cash withdrawal from them..

[Cyclonic]

ok let me know how that goes Jacob :P if there is an ok amount of activity on Gameduell and you get withdrawals without any problems, then i may give it a go!

[rezzo]

I like gameduell too. I'd say it's a hussle to make a withdrawal at first since you got to go through about proving yourself to them that you're a legit player. Once you make it through then it's a good place to play and make profits. They are fairly good at fair-match skills compare to other sites.
