I think some people have decided that anything not Bitcoin related is a fraud/scam. We need to always see things with open mind. More than $1.6 million invested so far and some people are still saying this investment was staged. Please give this a chance to fly
You could just ask. These conspiracy theories are getting really wacky.
When and why did you decide to go from this:
We are serious developers and we know what we are doing.
That is why we have built an launched the world's 1st Fully Decentralized gambling game and made it live.
While others write whitepapers, we deliver and launch production ready code.

After the ICO we are moving from PoC stage to Beta Then our priority is:
Faster blockchain betting times. We already have them down to 5s on the test-net.
More betting options.
Site design. It's all coming after ICO

I assume you have decided to stop trying to convince everyone you were provably fair or decentralized...right?
From the looks of it, vDice has in fact received approximately 137,700 ETH into what appears to be their address for receiving ETH for the ICO. Anyone should be able to verify this by looking up the balance of the ETH address 0x8bCCc9BA2E5706E24a36ddA02ca2A846E39a7bbF on any block explorer, I used etherscan, which shows roughly the above amount of ETH received and no ETH sent. This does not mean however that all/most of this ETH did not originate from the devs of this site. The fact that what appears to be an etherum developer is also a dev of this site likely will make it difficult to make any kind of blockchain connection proving that the devs are the ones "investing" in the ICO. I personally would not be surprised if most of what has been invested so far is from people connected to the devs, considering just how bad of a deal this ICO is for investors.
I think the amount raised is probably legitimate. Here's my thought process:
If the devs had this sort of money themselves, they would've put it into their own site bankroll. But maybe not. There's perhaps a logical reason that they might not want to do that, (AFAICT) the bankroll itself has no protection from a malicious orclize or random.org. And on top their counter party risk, there's always the looming threat of bugs (that exist in all sites, not just vdice). So it's quite understandable to not risk too much bankrolling it.
So if they had that sort of money, but didn't want to put it in their bankroll, the logical thing to do be inflate the profits to make it more attractive for investors. However, if you look at the "total amount won" over the sites history, that's 877 ETH. That should correspond to roughly ~17 ETH profit for the site (they have a 1.9% house edge). Less than a couple hundred bucks.
So if the invested amount is shill-money, it would mean they're a) bad actors and b) have a lot of money. So they logically should've massively bumped up the sites profit, to make it look a lot more profitable than it is.
So my conclusion is that they're probably legitimate investors. I'm guessing there are some unsavvy investors who didn't bother to fact check the site claims and put a little too much money on it, hoping it'd be the next big thing.
It is also possible that the devs simply did not have the forethought to increase their site's profit to make their site more attractive to investors. My theory is that the devs were trying to get their "blockbuster" initial investment numbers to make the crypto-news, causing more people to invest without doing any due diligence.
I don't see any benefit in investing in the first hour, or even in the first day, however I understand that a very large percentage of the total amount invested was invested in the first hour after investments were opened. If this money was "real" then these investors would need to take time off work and be waiting for investments to open.
I think that may collect about 300,000 ETH at all.
Same view, they have raised 160,000 ETH in early days, 300,000 ETH is highly possible.

My betting experiments are fun.
Wow 1.5M$. That's a lot for the dice platform. I wish vDice is the real deal unlike like the notorious scammer LIR.
Yes. We're the real deal.
We have a lot of supporters for Ethereum blockchain gambling in Russia, China and Japan.
They like our team, product and project a lot.
We are most humbled by the support.
You are right in Russia is very popular gambling game! A huge plus that you have translated their website into Russian!
There's Greatest drawback - the names of 2 developers are not translated. I'm sending you this information PM so you can fix it.
It's very popular in Russia...yet it seems like they have under 8k bets in 5 months. (Many dice sites have more than 8k bets every minute)
I'm talking about gambling in general. Vdice yet to take its place on the market after spending campaign. But the direction is very promising!

What a week folks! Our Ethereum Dapp’s live. Only 1 week since launch and we’ve had over 1,500 messages. Can you believe it? Already, we got PMs, emails and messages…over 1,500!

We know the best people. We totally self funded this project. Can you believe it? Look how great it is. We didn’t take any money from special interests. We have the best people with us. We’re bringing great Dapps to Ethereum. We didn’t expect such an amazing response. We didn’t realise so many people wanted SatoshiDICE for Ethereum. Everybody loves the game…everybody. Well…there are some dishonest people. But we don’t care about them, do we?
JulyQuote
The game has been performing unbelievably well. The response from the Ethereum community has been incredible.

By the 1st week of August you will see the cost of placing a bet, on the Ethereum blockchain, through vDice, come down significantly. You will also see the average time for processing that bet come down significantly too. We’re targeting an average bet processing time of 15s. Just like a Formula 1 Pit Crew we’re gonna make betting faster and cheaper for our players.
AugustQuote
Already we’ve got the fastest blockchain gambling game. Nobody does blockchain betting faster than vDice. Nobody. But it needs to be faster. We’re going to make betting process even faster. It’s gonna be so fast. You won’t believe it. We’re gonna role that out this month
ICO AnnouncementQuote
vDice is a live, working Dapp. It’s already processing bets. The decision is easy. The game is already successful. You don’t need to wonder.
It is processing bets, every…single…day…on the Ethereum Blockchain. vDice has done near 10,000 bets already. We have received a huge number of tweets, messages and emails from fans. Thank you!

At the moment most of our funding comes from Russia and Japan.
This will change next week I think, when our partners start helping us in China.
lol, what? This will change next week I think, when our partners start helping us in China.
How can you possibly know the location of the people who have "invested" in your site?
