The US is really strict about online gambling, as we have seen from recent issues with Poker. | ||

How does the Gravatar thing exactly work ? I registered, chose an avatar, but don't know how to connect it with my esbl account I see your avatar on the website, maybe just a cache issue ? The advantage with gravatar is, as long as you have setup your account, every website using the service will display your avatar now if you register with the same email address. Being very lazy, I love this concept. I still cannot confirm my inscription after like 2 days lol Hello, I removed the activation mail for the moment because the mailserver of my host doesn't permit the actual rush So all the account are automatically activated. You can log in directly ! (You must have received the mail just before I shut down theconfirmation mail feature). Thanks for reporting though and sorry for this =-). | ||

While a dark background with light text can work in some cases, you are certainly not doing yourself any favors by having it, mixing it every other line certainly doesn't help your cause either. I doubt any of the worlds top 100 sites (with the possible exception of some porn sites) run with a dark background and light text. Overall a good idea but with some odd choices in the execution (colombian domain, mixing dark and white background/text every other line, cluttered). | ||

Just check http://www.pinnaclesports.com/ and click esports to the left. Currently active are ASUS ROG Tournament and GSL. | ||

Feels a bit non-serious to use a .colombia country domain if you are aiming for an international audience. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=277206¤tpage=2#22 While a dark background with light text can work in some cases, you are certainly not doing yourself any favors by having it, mixing it every other line certainly doesn't help your cause either. I doubt any of the worlds top 100 sites (with the possible exception of some porn sites) run with a dark background and light text. It was a complicated choice. The designer and I have some basics about web design and readability, but we knew from the beginning there would be very few text on the website. We don't want to compete against the news and community websites (in fact we want to propose our API to them). So we concluded that a dark design was a possibility, that would help us being more original, with almost nothing to loose for the users. Plus it's closer to sc2 (which is by far our favorite game and first target, sorry for the lol fans, we are trying to find more tournaments worth following). It's of course a possibility to provide a more standard lighter design as a choice. It's not at the top of the priority list, but we'll keep it in mind. We would love to hear other feedback about the design by the way, to get the general feeling. | ||

We would love to hear other feedback about the design by the way, to get the general feeling. I am well aware of .co-domains. I even own one myself (for typo traffic). They may become generally acceptable one day and I've certainly considered actually using a .co-domain myself for a rather serious site, however, I felt that it is too early to be acceptable just yet. In the end, one just tries to make it as easy as possible for oneself and I think you made it harder for yourself by having both a .co-domain and a dark website. Though, I wouldn't say either of them are wrong per se, but it just makes it harder to get recognition. However, I appreciate your response and as I love web projects and esports, I wish you the best of luck, | ||

let me bet on street fighter! We clearly want to cover more games but it is really a matter of more people to work on the updates, let some time to the project, you will have a good surprise sooner or later. Well, for some reason i betted 82 eDollars on demuslim... I got them back a couple of minutes ago and my bet was canceled, but I never meant that and now i can't bet on him again. Edit : Ah, walkover for DeMuslim, was annonced a minute ago on the live stream. That's why! Yeah, we were up to do live updates tonight, some great matches =-). Hmm, so forfeits are refunded? I haven't really ever used anything like this before. Is that standard? This is right, forfeits are refunded. This is pretty standard from my experience. I may be wrong. Are there any threads on TL or the eSBL website to discuss bets? For the time being I'd imagine its perfectly acceptable to do that here being cautious of spoilers. On that note lets go Sheth come on 2-0! Sure, feel free to use this topic, we are really interested on any kind of feedback (live excitement on the results are clearly a part of it). You will have a free space to discuss the bets directly on eSBL next week, but we prefer to let you post on team liquid as long as possible (hard to compete against the dynamism of this forum, we need that). | ||

We just have some cross-domain security issues we want to resolve first. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=277206¤tpage=6#106 I don't understand. Will there be a way to programmatically interact with your service? I have not seen any betting site provide a REST API. | ||
