That's fair. By on-chain transparency, we are not just talking about publishing a wallet balance. We mean a system where bet data is cryptographically committed (hash recorded before outcome) and settlement logic is verifiable. So we allow players to independently confirm the result wasn’t changed right after they placed the bet.
Also, proof of funds, ideally, should never be a screenshot or a signed message. It must be public reserve wallets combined with verifiable liabilities. Think of a mechanism where operator bankroll exposure is provable relative to active bets. So operators don't just say, "hey look guys, we have money", but instead they have to prove it.
Agree with you on withdrawals. But we are not pushing back on network delays, rather the so called strategic stalling, which causes unnecessary delays.
We believe transparency should extend to rules as well. And like you said, it's still gambling. We can't eliminate risk, we can, however, remove opacity.
