Since the inception of Dice in 2018, our focus has never wavered from sustainable, long-term growth. In our whitepaper, we acknowledged that trust is hard to come by for an anonymous team, especially in crypto. We promised we would prove ourselves through our actions. This continues to remain our priority. Actions speak louder than words. We cannot begin to express the gratitude we have for those who have stayed with us, through the thick and thin.
We have some large goals for the remainder of 2019. With the understanding that plans may always change in response to the environment we operate in, we are excited to share with you what our plan of action is for the remainder of the year. A detailed explanation of each element listed below will be announced prior to its release.
2019 Q3
Continue to work on the platform in preparation for new user on-boarding. By continuing to focus on the development of the platform for Q3, we will be able to maximize our conversion and retention rates of new users in Q4.
Localization - Additional Languages and Currencies
We've transitioned the display the fiat value of tokens on multiple aspects of the platform, including payout and the Lucky Draw jackpot. We'll be adding support for additional currencies to enhance the experience of users in various parts of the world. Likewise, additional languages will be addedBanking System - Earn Interest on Platform Balances
We'll be introducing a system that allows users to deposit tokens to become a "banker", and receive interest on these deposits based on the ratio of their deposits and the total bankroll. The interest paid is using theoretical profits (house edge), and not on actual profits. This means that interest will always be earned, regardless of any losses or gains. The interest is paid from the 50% of net profit that is currently allocated to bankroll and cost. This means the system will not impact the amount that is paid out to staked DICE holders. This system also allows us to easily support any EOS token. As long as the token has value, and a sufficient amount of deposits have been made, users will be able to place wagers with that token (and payouts will be paid for that token as well, based on the normal method).Bull Fight
Bull Fight is a popular game in China. From the statistics we've collected, we can see that a lot of our users are based in China. However, the only Chinese game that we offer currently is Sicbo. We would like to expand our offering of games that are attractive to our Chinese players. Bull Fight is a comparing card game played between players and the dealer. The goal of the game is to divide a five card hand into a left hand with three cards and a right hand with two cards. The value of the left hand must be a multiple of 10. The value of the right hand should be as high as possible.More EOS-Based Third-Party Games and Applications
We've been working with multiple third party developers about integrating additional games and applications. We will continue to refine the integration process to make it more streamlined. This will allow us to continue to expand our offering of games and applications our users may find useful. We foresee a future where there are multiple versions of every game, so users can choose their favorite - just like the Google app store.Expand Dice Staking Benefits
Additional staking benefits will be offered to users based on the amount and duration of DICE tokens staked. This will reward both large and long-term investors.Third party events
There will be events hosted by third-parties. These events will be more engaging than the leaderboard events that have previously been held. By having a third-party facilitate the event, there will be an increased ability to set rules to prevent abuse, and greater oversight to be able to take action against violators. This will make events more motivating and rewarding for real players..dice EOS Account Benefits
Additional benefits will be provided to users utilizing an EOS account ending with the .dice suffix.Project Page on Dice.one
A project page will be added to the website to allow users and investors to stay up-to-date with the latest information, as well as having easy access to the roadmap and other materials.
Lower the barriers to entry, focus on new users
Free EOS Accounts
One of the major obstacles for new users is the need to create an EOS account. This process is currently overly-difficult for users who do not already have an account. We will be introducing a solution to this problem.Register using Mobile Phones
Users will be able to register via mobile phone, enabling them to be able to play without an EOS account.Mobile Wallet
Introducing our mobile wallet is an integral step in mass new user adoption. We plan to have this completed in Q4.Traditional Third-Party Developers
We will be opening the platform up to non-crypto developers, which will further increase the variety of games available, and will attract non-crypto users to the platform. This will expose the non-crypto users to the platform, and encourage them to become involved in crypto to be able to access the crypto-only selections.More Deposit Methods
We'll be introducing deposits for other blockchains like Bitcoin, as well as opening up fiat deposits for multiple currencies.Roadmap for 2020
Our vision extends much further than the end of the year. We'll release our 2020 roadmap in Q4 to help you to see the future that we see!
