Good to see something new here. Be careful with your code next time and you're good to go!

The game seems to work pretty well now that the provable fairness isn't obviously cheatable.
I tried a few Martingale style bets and managed not to bust. It's tricky because there's on a 100x range between the min and max bets, so there's not a lot of space to have a losing streak play out:

You cut off the bet history above the interesting part:
Can you see what I did there?
(Note that I PM'ed the owner telling him about the exploit, didn't withdraw anything, then waited for him to take the site down before posting this 'clue').

It is shown and could be changed in profile settings.

I clicked 'bet with BTC', it asked for the bet size, with 0.001 already showing in the box. I decided to go with the default, hit 'start', and it complained 'minimal bet is 0.001 BTC'. Well, that's the default value that I used!
It seems I have to retype the value - the pre-filled value doesn't work, and the error message is confusing (the problem isn't that my bet is less than the minimum, it's that I didn't type a number at all it seems).
Edit: I don't see the hash of my server seed anywhere. You should publish that in advance so we can be sure you have committed to it.
The 'history' table also isn't updating for me when I bet - I have to reload the whole site to see myself listed on it.
Here's a table showing how each of the 101 possible 'remainders' maps to a payout, to help with verifying the provable fairness:

I dont expect many ppl to try it out with that min bet in place.! If they lower it a bit then..mayb.! GL with it anyways.!
We could lower min bets and withdrawals, but then we have to take the costs of the commission from our members.
I don't understand what you mean. What is this commission you mention, and why would a lower minimum bet affect it?
As far as I can see, lowering the minimum bet to 100 satoshis or something (1 bit) would get more people playing, and would reduce the variance for you.

Looks interesting. I might give it a go 
Me too. And I think its an easy money. Correct me if Im wrong.
If you were right, we all were playing right now

Warning! All current games will be stopped for five minutes before opening the server seed and string (as if you pressed the button to pick up the win). You will be notified about it for an hour before.

Lost my 0.03 btc... Its a fun idea though (site could be a bit better designed, it got a bit slow, and the deposit took a while after 1 conf).

Also a spelling mistake :-
It Says "Withdrew" instead of "Withdraw".
It Says "Withdrew" instead of "Withdraw".
No, that's right. All the lines are past tense.
First SatoshiCarnival, now BalloonBit.. seems this missing delimiter between the client seed and nonce are a typical thing for those sites with joyful-party names heh 
Actually BikiniDice also almost introduced that bug, bit of a Brazilian Carnival I guess.
(site is down, but I assume that was the bug)
