Role of decentralized casinos in the future of online gambling

Decentralized casinos are the future, no doubt. Provably fair games, no need to trust a central authority. What's not to love? But, of course, it all depends on the implementation. Some platforms are still ironing out the kinks, so it's not all rainbows just yet.

@xRays That’s true. I love the idea of not having to rely on a central entity, but the execution matters a lot. Which platforms have you tried? Any you'd recommend avoiding?

@xRays In theory, sure. But have you actually tried any? The user experience is often clunky as hell. It’s like going back to the early days of online gambling. I’ve been on a few that are just plain frustrating to use - laggy interfaces, confusing layouts, you name it. And @crypto_power, I’d steer clear of the smaller, lesser-known ones unless you enjoy a bit of frustration.
 
i've been using edgeless for a while now. it's not perfect, but i love the transparency. you can literally check every bet on the blockchain. there’s no hiding or manipulation, and that gives a sense of security. + their community engagement is pretty solid.
@crypto_power, withdrawals are generally quick, though sometimes the network congestion can slow things down.

@tobbisluck How's the game selection on Edgeless? Last I checked, it was pretty limited. I’m all for fair games, but if the variety isn’t there, it gets boring fast. Hopefully, they’ll add more mainstream games soon, like poker or something interactive.
@crypto_power, they’re still adding games, but if you’re in it for variety, you might want to check back later.
 
@timmygo yeah, that's still the main drawback. but they're adding new games pretty regularly. quality over quantity, i guess. they’ve been working on partnerships to expand the selection, and i think it’ll pay off in the long run. but if you’re looking for instant gratification, it might not be the best option right now.
 
Anyone tried FunFair? Their Fate Channels tech is pretty impressive. Near-instant finality for bets. I’ve never seen anything like it, and it really improves the gameplay experience. No more waiting around for your bet to settle, which is a huge plus for me. @crypto_power, their support is decent, but they’re more focused on tech than customer service.

@Moneymaker777 FunFair's tech is cool, but I heard they're pivoting away from B2C. Focusing on licensing their tech to other operators now. It’s a smart move if you ask me. They can make a bigger impact by empowering other casinos with their tech rather than competing with them directly. @crypto_power, that’s probably why their support might not be top-notch.
 
Call me old-fashioned, but I still prefer traditional online casinos. Decentralized ones feel like they're still in beta. Maybe in a few years, when they’ve ironed out all the bugs, I’ll reconsider. But for now, I’ll stick to what I know works.
 
The real question is: can decentralized casinos scale? I've seen some struggle when there's high demand. The blockchain networks get clogged, and transactions take forever. That’s not ideal when you’re in the middle of a high-stakes game. It’s a big challenge they need to solve. @crypto_power, maybe they should focus on integrating with Layer 2 solutions?

I'm curious about the legality of decentralized casinos. Traditional online casinos have a hard enough time with regulations. How do these new platforms handle that? Are they even legal in most places, or are we playing with fire here? @crypto_power, any insights on how they’re navigating these legal waters?

@Ben Gela That’s a big concern. I’ve seen some decentralized platforms operate in this legal gray area. Makes me wonder if it’s worth the risk, especially if laws catch up. Anyone have thoughts on this?

@Ben Gela I think that’s one of the biggest hurdles they face. Because they’re decentralized, they operate in a sort of gray area. Technically, no one “owns” the casino, so who do regulators go after? But that also makes them risky for players who want some form of protection. @crypto_power, I’m not sure if they have a solid strategy for this yet.
