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 noticed that many people have asked why they are raising money if they are already profitable. The answer to this question is to allow them to grow faster. Raising money (via an ICO, or otherwise) when profitable, is not by itself an indication of a scam/fraud.
Being that it appears that vDice appears to fund their own bankroll, at the end of the day, the only thing that will allow investors to profit is bankroll profits. Based on the fact that your largest max bet is roughly $28, I suspect that your bankroll is currently very small. Based on the fact that less then 40% of funds raised will go to anything remotely related to your bankroll, your investors will start deep in the hole -- your bankroll will need to more then double in size via gambling profits before your investors will even break even! If a potential investor were to decide to instead to invest in the bankroll of a bitcoin (or etherum, or anything else) based gambling site, then they could immidiately divest and receive their entire investment back (plus/minus any gambling gains/losses) immidiately.
Smart contracts are fun and all, however vDice is not decentralized, nor provably fair to your players as pointed out by RHaver
here. Additionally, it looks like it would be impossible to detect if you were covertly cheating your bankroll, so your investors will need to trust you, however from what I can tell, you do not presently have this trust -- the possibility of a gambling site cheating their investors exists for all gambling sites, and there is no known solution to this problem.
There is also the issue that vDice is
misrepresenting (pg 4, header 2, par 2) that they are "fully decentralized" when in fact this is not the case (
ref).
If anyone is considering to invest in this ICO, I would recommend that you look elsewhere to invest your money.
