Hey everyone, I’ve been interested in the Goated presale token launch and I’m curious what you guys think. Can’t really remember what the presale price for the Shuffle token was but considering that Goated will launch in Solana is already a great start for them because it has much less fees.
Would appreciate your input!

If I remember correctly the pre-sale price for SHFL was around $0.53.
I’m a total noob in that realm so don’t really have an opinion.
It will be smaller than the A1 from Shuffle (but it was once in a lifetime opportunity) but should still be decent.
As far as buying before the Airdrop I really don’t know, I have trouble seeing the benefit of doing it.
NFA, but If you’re into a pump and dump, you can always try. 
IMO, Goated still trails Shuffle on fundamentals: lower wager volume despite being older at token launch (~1.5y vs 1y) and missing key products like a sportsbook, which usually drives the bulk of casino revenue.
The plus side for them is the Solana launch, which guarantees high visibility , but also invites pump-and-dump volatility from apes. Day one will likely be a clash of real Goated users cashing out vs SOL traders chasing hype.
- Bullish: $0.15–$0.18 if demand rips.
- Bearish: $0.05–$0.07 if airdrop dumps dominate.
Long-term success depends on Goated closing its product gap with Shuffle , sportsbook, lottery, and stronger promotions that create sustained token utility.
Thanks for the insights. Surely day 1 will be crazy volatile. I also heard they will be releasing a lottery too but have not found any details about it yet. And yeah, definitely doesn’t feel as big as Shuffle was at their token launch
Not looking too good at 2 cents each at the moment. Was hoping my three million points would be worth more. don’t expect that number to go up early on, likely to go down.
Lottery starting in November giving utility to the token so hopefully it will make the price bump a bit.
There was a run up of 15-20% on SHFL around the time they launched the lottery, but who knows if it was that or the impending airdrop that caused it, though ultimately price dropped by 40%+ once airdrop 2 did occur. Expecting the price to go up when ten million goated coins become instantly available to cash, idk seems like wishful thinking. For the price to go up there has to be buyers pushing the price up, and I’m not sure it’s going to grab enough attention for that to be the case from non-goated users. And I doubt goated users who just got the airdrop are going to come further out of pocket to buy more. Why would they? They just got a bunch in an airdrop and prob want to wait and see how it goes, largely.
I was just part of an airdrop that is a very simple two game gambling site, that is web3 on the solana chain. Their price actually went up and they have zero utility, just a 20% of profit weekly burn. But every other user of the site is a crypto “trenching” dork on axiom or pumpfun and they are all about hyping coins up and finding the next gem and I think all the constant chatter about it alone was enough for a bunch of people to not only HODL, but go out any buy some. I wagered like 200k there and sold mine day 1 for $7000 btw - more than what i expect to get from goated given the current price. Not trying to FUD, just personally want to have realistic expectations. 90% of the coin will be locked up and vesting of 6 months anyways, so I guess we will find out which way it goes, not like I can sell all of it and the wager requirements, just like shuffle are quite high and I’m likely to lose more than I’d gain trying to unlock it faster.
Btw this other site didn’t lock up the airdrop at all. 100% available day 1.

Completely fair take. Interesting too. I actually agree with most of this. Goated’s branding and user engagement have been exceptional, but the fundamentals lag behind Shuffle in key profit-driving verticals. Mainly their pre-sale was completely horrid. It was absolutely abysmal. The lack of a sportsbook is massive, but I believe one is in the works. However, they have a lottery going since day one when the AD drops coming up annd yes, those are usually the top revenue engines that create true stickiness for a casino token.
That said, Goated’s advantage lies in the ecosystem expansion strategy. The Solana launch isn’t just a hype play it’s an on-ramp to a massive new user base and deep liquidity. If they execute correctly, and they should be able to given they have seen Shuffle and their playbook, however they botched the pre-sale…. they could bridge Shuffle’s gap by leveraging Solana’s transaction speed and retail trader energy to supercharge wager volume.
Short term, yeah expect volatility and opportunists treating it like a quick flip. It will be limited given the 6 month vesting..But if they deliver the missing components and tie real staking/wagering incentives to the token’s utility, it could evolve from a short-term trade into a sustainable ecosystem play.
I would frame it as Shuffle is currently better built, Goated is better positioned. The next few months will show whether they can turn momentum into fundamentals.
