Why Investors Love Transparency
Most platforms hide the house edge. We lead with it. Here's why that's brilliant:
- Sustainable model: Users know what to expect, stay longer (no "I was tricked" churn)
- Regulatory advantage: Full disclosure = easier licensing, lower legal risk
- Brand differentiation: "The honest prediction platform" stands out in sketchy industry
- Lower churn: Transparent losers stay vs shocked quitters. Trust > deception.
- Premium positioning: Honesty = trust = premium brand (charge more, higher LTV)
- Comparison advantage: 3-5% house edge vs 10-20% competitors. We can brag about it.
Bottom line: We're a betting platform with a house edge. We're just more honest about it than everyone else.
