How was revenue able to stay relatively stable throughout the year, even though you had a big traffic spike in June and little to no traffic at the beginning of July?

When we had no traffic, it was only because we had some problems that we needed to fix altrough with our bots and we also didn’t have anyone to promote us (YouTubers). Now we’re much stronger, that’s why we got such a traffic and revenues.

Could you elaborate on how you work with BitSkins to monetize your business? How do you obtain the items sold on their site and gain commission off of them?

We’re just listing and selling the items to BitSkins and then we just click withdraw via Bitcoin on their site.

BitSkins has their own price data of the items and we’re just listing (automatic bot) the CS:GO skins on their site.

We gain comissions from every jackpot on our site. For example people put $50 worth of CS:GO skins, our system automatically choose winner and we get 10% from every pot.

What payment processor do you use to receive funds?

We receive funds on Bitcoin, it can be easily (in 5 seconds) changed to PayPal or Bank Wire.

What caused the traffic spike in June, and almost no traffic at the beginning of July?

In June we added referral program so that’s why, almost no traffic at beggining of July becouse of maintenance and site changes. It is stable traffic now.

Is it legal?

Yes, it is!

It’s perfect business to run becouse it’s not gambling, gambling is only when real money is involved. There are only CS:GO skins involved, they are not money (but they can be sold for money on 3rd party site like BitSkins), so there is no need for gambling licence becouse only CS:GO skins are involved. Also our site is Valve TOS compliant.
