Rothbard's Casino

Eve is full of scams. This is just another scam right?: No. I made my ISK through trading, mission running, and pvp. I'm to a point in my eve career where I have lots of ISK and wanted a new project to invest it in. I love gambling, and making a casino was a good fit for me.
Sure, you claim not to be a scammer but you are just a scammer right?: No. This isn't an alt. This is my main character. I don't have any other accounts. You can view my character details and wallet balance here. I've completed more than 700 contracts in the last 12 months and you can verify my contract history ingame. You can view my killboard details here which shows i'm an active pilot. Finally you can usually find me in the various trade channels ingame (especially the blueprints channel) where i'm engaging in arbitrage daily.
Ok, you make some compelling arguments, but I still don't trust you with my isk!: Fair enough, if you do not feel comfortable depositing your isk into the casino please don't.
Alright, I would like to play in your casino. How do I get started?: First step is to create an account at www.rothbards.com Sign up using your ingame character name. A random password will be emailed to you. You can then change your password after logging into the casino.
I've made my account and set my password, how do I start winning money?: Once you've created an account you need to fund it. To do so you need to send isk to Edwin Rothbard (Date Of Birth 2007-12-07 16:06:00) ingame. Please put "Casino deposit" under reason when sending money.
How can I contact you if I have more questions?: You can eve mail me ingame. You can also visit the casino's public chat channel "Rothbard's Casino" ingame.
Can I add you to my contacts list and watch list?: Sure
Ok, i've won a bunch of money and I want to cashout. What do I do?: Click the cashout button in the casino. As soon as I receive notice that you want to cash out the isk will be credited to your account ingame. Please note that I can't send you isk if i'm not online. You might want to check to see if i'm in the casino channel ingame and/or if i'm online according to your watch list ingame. As long as i'm logged in you should get your money within a minute or two. If i'm logged out it could take up to 12 hours to receive your winnings.
I deposited money with one character, but I want to send my winnings to another character. How do I do this?: You can't. As part of our provisional gambling license from Caldari State, we agreed not to engage in money laundering activities. The casino will only credit winnings back to the same player who deposited the isk. No exceptions. I don't want to get caught up by isk farmers who try to use the casino to obfuscate their transactions or hackers who steal eve accounts then try to hide the money. Any requests to send money to another account will be ignored.
Someone else is claiming to be an official casino representative, should I trust him?: No. The only official representative of Rothbard's Casino is Edwin Rothbard himself.
I think your random number generator is messed up as it seems 'streaky', is your RNG broken?: No, the casino uses dual white noise generators and one 'gambler' phase inverter to ensure good random number generation. Aggregate stats will be published on the casino website so you can verify the outcome of the games.
Your max betting limits are too low! I want to gamble more. Why won't you raise the betting limits?: A casino is only as good as it's ability to pay winners. We want to ensure that there is always plenty of cash available at the cashier's cage to pay any request for payout immediately. Hopefully we can raise the betting limits in the near future once we get a feel for how big the payouts will be for the casino.
C'mon everyone has fancy websites but yours is so blah. Why doesn't your site have more eyecandy?: The site was meant to be reliable, functional, and to run smoothly in the ingame browser. Personally I hate laggy sites, and I was determined that mine would run fast.
Alright, I'm gambling and having fun but I want more games! Are you going to make more games?: Yes! The first game at launch is Matari pick'em. The next game under development is called "Can Flipping." This game will feature a grid of giant secure containers. It will cost 1m isk to click on a container. Every container will contain a prize. Some containers might contain a unit or trit or a metal scrap. Others will contain faction ships and plex cards! The third game the casino plans to launch is "The War Deck." This will be a take on the Card game called "War!" The fourth game slated for release is "Gotan's Modified Blackjack."
Are you going to offer poker?: No. I enjoy poker a lot, but I wanted to make a casino that pilots could enjoy in small chunks without a big time commitment. There are lots of time ingame where you are stuck waiting for a number of minutes waiting. I made the casino to fill those small gaps of time. Poker is a game that takes much more time to play a session. Additionally in casino games such as blackjack you are only playing against the house. In poker you are playing against other players AND against the house as the house almost always takes a cut of the action thus making it even harder to win. Lastly there's always the potential risk of player collusion in poker. For those reasons Rothbard's will concentrate on games that pilots can enjoy themselves in bite-sized chunks.
