Creating a Website with gambling/forums

[dirtydartt]

Hey guys, if this is in the wrong section please move it and forgive me.

 

I played CSGO for a few months now and love it. As you may or may not know, there is a huge ingame economy for skins and weapons and keys etc. There are also many gambling sites where you can deposit skins and get a percentage chance to win against other player's deposits based on how much they put in as well. The most popular sites are https://csgojackpot.com/           https://csgoshuffle.com/

 

          https://skinarena.com/

 

Me and my friend were looking to make either a similar site with the same concept,     A blackjack site where players can gamble skins

Or just a CSGO community page with forums such as OSBOT where we can hold events and raffles for skins etc.

 

We were wondering first off how much an operation like this would cost with    Website design, creation, hosting, and how we could get the technology to have blackjack or a skin deposit system such as the popular sites above.

 

 

We also would like some recommendations on website creation companies, hosts, and anything that goes along with making a website like the ones I listed.

Please leave any feedback or suggestions, and hopefully I can be led in the correct direction to make an amazing site!!

CSGOJackpot-style sites are expensive. I typically charge between $1000-$2000 for a site like that. They involve having a central server running a steam bot, hence why they are so expensive.

 

Good luck getting this done!

The hardest part is learning the Steam API witch make it cost so much

Gl sounds like a good idea. 

Black jack is allot different from jackpot as its house vs the user.

Well an idea I was thinking of (not sure how it would work) is 2 people throw in skins to us the house, and we are basically a middleman, while the 2 play against eachother as in they can't see what the other player has and they basically play as if the other is the house. If they both bust they replay, house (me) would take 5%. Just an idea not sure if it would work.

So have you done a site like that before? or is that what you WOULD charge? Also how tough is just a simple community page with forums and possibly raffles where you deposit keys?

I have made sites like this before. ANYTHING that requires automation via the steam API will cost you upwards $1500.

Hmmm I know I could make my money back but damn thats alot. And what about a simple forum site where we set a trade link for people to deposit keys for raffles?

IP Board Licenses are 170$ +, unless you go the cheaper and more fragile route; phpbb.

It will cost you in the tens of thousands for the site+marketing.
