They can do it easily, without being    spotted. It is also difficult for the casino to prove when they    are not cheating.  <\/p>\n<p>    The fast-growing ($46B in 2016) online gambling industry    has a problem: TRANSPARENCY. In 2017 all online casinos have    full power to cheat against their own players. They can do it    easily, without being spotted. It is also difficult for the    casino to prove when they are not cheating. This creates a    massive problem for online gambling and casts a shadow on the    industrys reputation.  <\/p>\n<p>    The new blockchain based casino Edgeless.io is planning    to change this.  <\/p>\n<p>    There is no way of knowing what happens inside the    casino servers and how the mechanisms are programmed says    Tomas Draksas, professional gambler and co-founder of    Edgeless.io, a company that promises absolute transparency and    a 0% house edge casino. Casinos can be easily rigged for a    huge house edge. We want to change that by offering    cryptocurrency based gambling mechanics that anyone can audit    to see that we are not rigging the game and dont have a house    edge Draksas continues.  <\/p>\n<p>    The problem is real. The Wizard of Odds blog about the    online gambling industry has so far black-listed    over 50 online casinos. These platforms have    been caught cheating in many different ways, including rigging    the outcome, failed win payouts, delayed funds withdrawals and    many more. Bitcoin casinos are no better:     case of famous bitcoin casino caught cheating.  <\/p>\n<p>    It is scary how easily online casino can be rigged. With    a few tweaks to programming code, the owners can easily    influence the casinos profitability in their own favor states    Tomas Draksas, Edgeless.io co-founder . I believe that many    major online casinos are abusing their power. For the sake of    better gambling experience and industry growth, casinos must be    decentralised.  <\/p>\n<p>    Edgeless.io was founded last year by a group of    blockchain and gambling experts based in Germany and Lithuania.    First, the team tested markets with a fully transparent    slotmachine called etherslots.win    and the early success has now led to the launch of the    first transparent, 0% house edge online casino  Edgeless.io.      <\/p>\n<p>    0% house edge on our games will sound really    controversial for most people and thats the reason why we    offer these games. Using blockchain we can also make it    extremely profitable Says Tomas Draksas. We also have plans    for additional games and sports betting  everything will be    fair and transparent, thats our motto he continues.  <\/p>\n<p>    Edgeless is based on popular blockchain technology called    Ethereum, which enables the use of smart-contracts that    anyone can audit. Usually casinos offer a Fairness Check, but    that has not stopped these platforms from cheating, as a lot    can be done behind the scenes at the server level.    Blockchain-based smart contracts are fully transparent and    players can be 100% sure that no one is trying to scam    them.  <\/p>\n<p>    Edgeless.io    casino is going live in few months and before that, the    company is raising funds through a new crowdfunding method    called Initial Coin Offering (ICO).  <\/p>\n<p>    On the ICO, supporters can buy digital tokens that work    as an in-game currency and proof of membership. Each month EDG    token holders can then play a special lottery to win 40% of the    company profits.  <\/p>\n<p>    We are breaking new ground here with member benefits.    Our engineers have worked hard on a Game of Profits-lottery    that is open for all our token holders says Ignas Mangevicius,    CTO and co-founder of Egeless.io.  <\/p>\n<p>    The crowdfunding campaign will start on 28th of February    2017, 3:00pm GMT and the goal is to raise 360 000 ETH by    selling Edgeless tokens for gambling enthusiasts.
