I've tested singeplayer and it works fine. Very fast and clean. Looks like a good alternative to laggy satoshidice. Cheers.

New game mode: Singleplayer
Now you can get used to bitbattle.me by running single-player games.
The rules are the same, the only difference is that you have no opponent, so you don't risk having to share your win with your opponent. Of course this also means you miss the chance to increase your win by grabbing a share of your opponent's win!
So from pure game mechanics this singleplayer mode is very similar to the existing *dice games, but on technical level has some significant differences:
Having said that, i consider Singleplayer mode the "training mission" for the real thing. Get used to the game mechanics and the way risk score is calculated, then join the multiplayer games for the real fun

- The concept of a game with bet timeouts and game timeout
- The betting addresses are individual for each game
- Live update of game website with each placed bet
- Your win is payed only when the game is over, not after each bet
- There is no payout on lost bets

The basic bet system is similar to the various dice sites, but the available bets are spread more equal with win probability steps of ~5%.
Great new game
Though we beg to differ on this one point, Our clone dice game offers probability steps of 1%.

Most online games are individual? I'm involved with diceoncrack and taabl, and I can certainly throw all the coins at either and then recover them (well, ttbit might not be too happy with that, but in theory). Sure, I'm playing "for free" but I'm not displacing anybody else's chance of winning.
Or are there other PvP games out there that I'm not aware of?

Am I misunderstanding or can you beat any of us no matter what since you have no cost in betting more and more since it isn't even really a bet for you?
Hmm - never really thought of it this way. You are right, I could try to join as much games as possible and always play a higher risk than the other player. If you want to be sure that I do not trick you into a high risk game you can use the invitation game feature - I would have a hard time joining your invitation games without you noticing it.
How is this problem solved on other sites? I think the same scenario can be applied more or less to most online games where multiple anonymous players are involved. How can you make sure that all players are "real" and not just socket puppets from the bank?

Site update:
- Problem with joining abandoned/old games is solved
- The "Start playing" button on the main page now indicates if a player is currently waiting for an opponent (Button label will switch to "Join waiting player!")
October 27, 2012, 08:42:18 PM
Fixed two issues today regarding timezones:
I noticed that sometimes games waiting for opponent don't get closed properly when no one joins, resulting in the next player joining a game playing basically alone as the game starter abandoned the game already hours ago. I hope to get that fixed soon with some more improvements...
- Secret was revealed 2 hours too early :-)
- Bet creation date/time now includes timezone offset information.

- It is no longer possible to start or join a multiplayer session with other players. (You can only do this with your own player when you are logged in)
- It is no longer possible to create multiple players with the same name. Existing duplicates have been renamed.
Update 2013-02-08:
- Player-related urls now using 'slug' based on playername instead of uuid (example: http://bitbattle.me/player/herbert/). Old bookmarks are still valid, they will redirect to the new urls.
- Running sessions table in dashboard and index page now show the remaining seconds until session timeout
- Fixed a rare racecondition while closing sessions that could lead to duplicate payment objects, resulting in no payment being made (Thanks to R33F for helping to track down this bug!)

- The issue of too little confirmed balance in the hot wallet ("Wallet depleted" error) should not occur (so often) anymore.
- Payments are now handled asynchronously. You will notice that all payment start in state "pending" and after a short time (usually <1 second) switch to status "paid"
Update 2012-12-14:
- The lucky number is now displayed in the session log
- The number of bets per session is now limited to prevent huge sessions like Carlos produced ;-).
- When a game is closed the reason for closing is displayed (bet limit reached, time limit reached etc.)
- Fix: Pending Payment issue caused by huge sessions
- Fix: Refunds in multiplayer sessions caused an internal error and were stuck
- Fix: After a bet is rejected due to insufficient wallet balance you had to open/close a multiplayer session in order to be able to bet again
Update 2012-12-11:
- Invitation links are back!
- The "Start Multiplayer" link will now change to "Join multiplayer" when another player started a multiplayer session. This should make it a bit easier to have a multiplayer session as you immediately see when one is started...
