And quite higher limits, which have proven to be fatal for investors in the past.
Referencing DiceSites as you did, SafeDice currently has a historical Profit/EV ratio of 38%

As an investor, you gotta know what you're looking for. Sites taking risks up to 10% of their bankroll for a single bet?
CG has other standards and mainly focuses on bankroll stability and security.

Stability.

Unlikely, besides JD, clam has neither a usecase nor a reason for existence.

One of those coins in question, PPC, was added solely based on user-votes back in 2015.
Replacing it with another "popular" coin might bring similar result eventually.

Don't get me wrong, I do not oppose listing new coins, or removing those that bring more costs than revenue.
But there's a few more things to consider than popularity/wagering volume.

Letting investors risk 10 times Kelly is really stupid. Fortunately they changed that and now the average is "only" about 5.35 (only old accounts can set a kelly higher than 2). It sucks because as an investor you are diluted if you take a more reasonable risk level (2x Kelly is fine considering most of the wagered volume is in small bets).

About profit/EV, that's quite irrelevant, long term it will be 100%. Even though ideally you'd like players to make infinite small bets, and therefore having steady profits, you can't choose that, and it's good for the casino to let players make big bets. It's good as long as the casino can stand losing those bets (which obviously isn't the case for those investors that are leveraged 10:1). The variable edge feature there is quite interesting, as it lets players make very big bets (in relation to the bankroll) but by charging a very high edge, which makes it still sustainable for the casino.

How is the max payout set at Crypto-Games, is it 1 Kelly?

I appreciate that your threads are very active, that's one of the reasons why I have so far invested more in your casino than in Safe Dice, even though the expected returns seems much higher there.

I see you really value stability, but you are being a bit too conservative.

Setting max payout to 1 Kelly (the house edge, 0.8%) would be optimal in the case that every bet was trying to get that payout (which would be the case of maximum possible variance for the casino). As in practice most bets "target" small payouts, it's actually optimal to set a max payout bigger than 1 Kelly. Anyway, 1 Kelly would already be something completely safe and could attract more high rollers. So it would mean extra profits with no extra risk (just some more variance if bets against the max payout become a big part of the total wagered amount, which is very unlikely; but even in that case that extra variance would come with bigger expected returns for the casino, so long term it's something positive).

Something I don't understand is why you look at aged investments to calculate the max payout, instead of the current bankroll (unless it's because you can't constantly update the maximum payout for technical reasons). No matter when it has been invested it's still part of the bankroll. If people for some reason start withdrawing, the maximum payout would automatically be adjusted to 1 Kelly, so the casino would always be safe.

I got a question about the profit calculation of investments.

Lets say I invested 1btc and I already gained a profit of 0.5btc. Will my new profit/loss be calculated based on my initial 1btc or based on my total 1.5btc?
I saw this line in the FAQ: "Your P/L = (Total P/L) x (Your Bankroll %) x (0.7)"
So I would guess my bankroll of 1.5btc will be used but I would like to ask anyway just to be sure.

Hi.
What about all the upcoming forks?
Will crypto-games support new coins? At least to withdraw to wallet?
