Operational results

---

Received 85 new propositions, of which accepted 32, rejected 53.

Total bets in worth 217.74633674 BTC in 397 bets.ⁱ

Revenue : 6.51249823 BTC, of which :

• bets resolved : 3.60714235ⁱⁱ
• fees from refunds : 0.14100000 BTC
• advertising : 0.2 BTC
• house bets won : 1.41835588ⁱⁱⁱ
• gracious donations to shareholders : 1.14600000 BTC

Expenditure : 3.20900000 BTC, of which :

• referrals paid : 0.00090000 BTC
• house bets made : 3.20000000 BTC

Profit : 3.30349823 BTC.

Because MPEx shareholders were paid 3.68215306 BTC instead of the 1.10464591 BTC they were actually due for February, 30% of profits going forward will be allocated to covering that credit, in lieu of MPEx dividends. This sum comes to 0.99104946 BTC this current period, leaving the credit to be covered in following months at 1.22827111 BTC. Anyone wanna bet whether this charge will be resolved the following period or not ?

Miscellaneous

The fact that referral revenue remains very low^iv is managements' main point of concern.

I can't for the life of me comprehend why this is the case. I have tried to advertise for the position with the most hilarious of results^v, and some perhaps hopeful results^vi. It would be exceedingly sad if this business model, that thrived for an entire decade, has magically died in the thin stretch between that moment when the tube farms killed the paysite and that moment when Bitcoin could have saved it (which moment is today, and otherwise coincides with the birth of BitBet.).

Be that as it may : if you are an experienced affiliate manager, or if you know someone who is, drop me a line, we'll work something out.

2. 360.71408994 BTC total pool resolved this month. [↩]
3. 2.60000000 BTC worth of house bets were resolved in the current month. [↩]
4. Since the referral paid is 1% of the actual bets of the referred (ie, BitBet's entire take), 0.00090000 BTC in referral payments implies that this entire month affiliates have driven traffic that has made bets worth 9 bitcents. [↩]
