Site is not responding.. is any other members facing the same problem?
If you look at page one of the thread, almost two years ago it was established that 999dice is likely a scam, and even at best untrustworthy. Why people use this website is beyond me, use bustabit, betking, just-dice, primedice or any of the other trusted websites held to higher standards.
Yeah I am amazed they are still up. We took them down from our review list at
www.bitcoingamblingreviews.comA lot of solid dice sites around now.
That post stunna mentions basically highlighted 3 things:
1: Ambiguity in the provably fair method
2: The site makes it difficult to get your server seed hash before every roll because you need to click the button, and the hash for the next roll isn't sent with the result of the last one.
3: the poster got banned and asked not to play at 999dice anymore when he wrote a bot that gets his seed hash for every bet.
Now, in 999dice defence:
1: the description and the code is still ambiguous, but when using their code (which is type sensitive), it works perfectly.
2: After that post, the site updated their API to send the server hash for the next bet, which, if they were cheating by changing seeds, removes their ability to do so.
3: The poster provided no proof of this and I find it hard to believe. What most likely happened is he spammed the site with requests and got IP banned for an hour, much like JD and PD does with login attempts, and the "Too many requests, slow down!" error many users get from PD when running a bot. Before the API update, my own bot was getting the server seed hash for every bet before the bet (and that made it hella slow). None of my users ever had an account permanently banned or was asked to stop playing there because of it. I was never asked to change it or remove it. In fact, Jake emailed me about the changes to the API to let me know I can update the bot to improve speeds.
999dices rolling is provably fair, I've made quite a lot of bets and verified them in an attempt to catch them cheating, because of the many people saying the many people claiming they were cheating. None of my rolls haven't verified.
The only thing that's actually somewhat sketchy about 999dice is their max profit compared to their house edge.But there's always the possibility he actually has that much money, or that max bet is simply ~1% of his bankroll
