sorry for doublepost

Yeah I will try to get a custom one.

Is there any chance this will be ready for the upcoming ESEA season? Or is it still pretty far off of being finished?

Not for the first matches I think, but it is not very far too, atm I'm working mostly on details and making sure Steam being down doesn't mess the website.

is this gonna kill the project even before it is launched?

they whitelisted his bots, it won't affect him.

assuming the csgolounge and d2lounge will be whitelisted as well. so good on valve for actually implementing a solution for sites like these quickly

Kudos to scrap.tf's Geel and Valve's Tony for helping with that

Sent you an email cherry about a potential sponsorship / partnership. Can't wait to see all of my keys vanish through saloon.tf !

Any way I could help with graphic/icon design? I'd love to get involved!

Sure bro! Added you on STEAM :)

Cherry what's the ETA on all of this? Just throw a date out there for fun.

Don't want to risk disappointing you Slin. It's very close, but I'd rather just post when it's finished or at least ready .

Hey, in one of your earlier posts, I mean around 7 months ago, you mentioned something about getting help from people? I know a bit of HTML/CSS and JavaScript, better at HTML/CSS, but working at JavaScript. If there is any way I can help I would love to contribute!

Cherry do you have any plans to use a percentage of the bets to fund competitive TF2 tournaments? I'm not saying that you're creating the site for profit, but I'm asking if you've considered taking X percent of bets and then putting that money towards incentivizing comp players in tournaments?

Yo do you you guys want a promo video of some sort or trailer for when it's really close to being finished? LMK it can be a sort of frag movie esque movie of epicness and then be like WAPOWWWWWWWWW PLACE UR BETS

COMING THIS FALL

THE STAKES
HAVE BEEN RAISED

Holy shit this sounds actually pretty neat, I'll mess around vegas and SFM see if I can find any decent props for that.

thanks. i wish i could contribute more, but im not good with any of that stuff. However, ive kind of imagined a whole wild west sfm promo video since i made that comment.

That is so beautiful.
@SLIN it may be a little tricky with betting laws, but I was looking into this possibility and will continue to do so. For now the plan is to give all too charity for now so everyone being can pretend he's a good man.

@mood and bear please add me on Steam and we'll talk :) though I'm abroad atm with just a phone so it may be hard to catch other, but we'll do it eventually.

Hey, I'm here with a quick update.
Website's running great now and there is only a couple of things I need to finish before we take it to the next stage and those include:

• Handling dupes and reversed trades
  
• Fix for additional manual refunds
  
• Writing some ToS bullshit ;)
  
• and a tutorial for newcomers which is being made by an amazing plex!

I am excited.

very nice very good

Can't wait to lose all my keys.

Cant wait to throw for 5,000$ in hats ;^)

Along these lines, could a fraction of the items in each bet be given directly to the winning players of each of the matches? I'm not an economist, but this could be a step to keep players from fixing matches (? if the payout from this is large enough relative to the typical individual bet). Of course this would also motivate people to get into prem / invite and win matches.

I think all prem / invite players' steam IDs are available publicly so something like this should in principle be doable.

I'm curious in general what steps you're taking to prevent match throwing, especially since TF2 has such a small competitive scene relative to the amount of trading.

I think that the % that he takes will probably end up mostly going to server costs.

taking a % is the worst idea brought into this thread, the tf2 market isn't even great to begin with

How about taking 0% for the first 99 games, then taking 100% and running away?

the tutorial should be done by like next week (do not quote me on this), looking forward to seeing it implemented!

I'm not going to force anyone into funding the website or anything as I believe that is enough people like it they'll gladly donate or subscribe some perks like a special color of a nickname or more slots.
There are however leftover items after most bets and while I'm going to be initially selling them to give money to charity eventually if there's enough of them and I won't have to worry about Saloon too much I may organize tournaments or just sponsor them.

Oh and actually the thing I came here for: I've got dupes thing working and fraud done, but not entirely tested yet.
