"At that time we catered to our players and we didn't fear players," says Rosenthal of his time as a bookmaker in Las Vegas. "We welcomed them. We were very conscious of customer service. Today, it is the reverse. It's not only a shame, it borders on being counterproductive to the state and the individual properties. I think the offshore industry, in 2004, is closing in on any industry in the world. The demand, the interest - speaking of the public - from a global standpoint is skyrocketing and will only get bigger."

Bookie is Coming, and is Here to Cater to the Players
Why use Bookie?
Bookie is built on blockchain technology, specifically Graphene. Bookie will have the capability to support millions of transactions globally. Bookie will have fast and secure settlements, as well as user-control of funds. It will be available to all sports bettors, regardless of geographical location, and bettors will not need to disclose personal information to create an account.
Bookie will support 100% real-time market transparency.
Are you concerned about fairness in gambling? Blockchain technology is not only secure, it is provably fair with transparent transactions. Companies currently have no benefits scrutinizing users questionable betting patterns on their exchanges, however, the transactions on Bookie will happen on the Peerplays blockchain, so these patterns will be visible to anyone, not hiding behind centralized servers.
Normally when you use an online service there is a central entity involved - be it a corporation or government - that is determining the rules and regulations that govern everything from your privacy to what you can and cannot do on the services provided. With Peerplays, it is (PPY) token holders who make decisions about these matters. Because the governance and decision making process involves multiple parties from around the world, it will likely be very difficult for third parties to influence the decisions made by the stakeholders.

The cherry on top?
Bookie will be a clean, crisp platform that offers low commission rates. Bookie will not penalize bettors who are lucky enough to earn long-term profits.
Bookie is not your regular Bitcoin Casino. Bookie is built on the blockchain. Bets are laid on the blockchain. Bookie is not running on a centralized server, and Bookie is not advertising provably fair gaming solely because it accepts cryptocurrency. Bookie is revolutionary.
Bookie is not only what the blockchain space has been waiting for, Bookie is what the entire gaming & gambling industry needs.
