We plan to be the first Casino, Binary, and Forex listings site with the right incentives: karma, merit, and proof of work (values from the Bitcoin community), offering reliable, user-based and auditable listings and rankings for players, operators, and affiliate managers willing to gain visibility. It will be backed by Cubiq’s APIs and auditable via blockchain (in the future), if I manage to find the investment needed. With Cubiq, I try to re-connect to my coding roots, building professional services, products and APIs while supporting open, global and permissionless protocols (Bitcoin, MCP, Nostr, etc.). I am also planning to serve fellow affiliates with efficient solutions for setting up their sites (forget about costly and vulnerable WordPress. There are better, lighter, alternatives!) Can you share the story of how your affiliate site Betizen began, what motivated you to start it, and how it has evolved since launch? If you look it up on the Wayback Machine, you’ll see that Betizen started out as just another listing site. I did many things wrong, but I kept the project alive through all these years. Today, it’s become a much more ambitious project — focused on transparency, user-generated listings powered by “karma” distributions, and AI-generated quality content — all running on Cubiq’s B2B APIs and platform. How does the Betizen ranking system work? The world is being reshaped by technology once again — and the iGaming industry won’t be an exception. Prediction markets are just one example, and affiliation needs to evolve, too. I believe the industry needs greater transparency on many fronts. Affiliate managers should be able to check verifiable, real-time stats and buy visibility on demand. Users should be the ones shaping the listings with their votes — and trust them, because everything is transparent. They vote with their karma, and they earn it through proof of work. Please tell us more about the relaunch of the site and the new “noble concept.” I think what’s truly novel is the mix of concepts and technologies I believe the industry needs greater transparency on many fronts. Affiliate managers should be able to check verifiable, real-time stats and buy visibility on demand. Users should be the ones shaping the listings with their votes — and trust them, because everything is transparent. 59 GPWAtimes.org
