Looks like you put a lot of effort in the design. This is the first time I've seen a lottery-based btc gambling site. That highest jackpot looks awfully seductive at 1350 btc...that's like 150k. The coin sound is a nice touch it just caught me off guard haha. I played a couple of times earlier today. Didn't win anything but thanks for the games!

The jackpot isnt' 1350 BTC, it's very misleading. Below is in text "50% of retain for future use", so it's "only" about 750 BTC.

It would make more sense to just add an extra draw to the current ticket.

I'm still confused on how to redeem free plays....

I have already warned them about the confusion this term may lead. IMO, it's not a "free" play, but a "bonus" play.


From their FAQ:
For each Free Play you have and want to use, you have to play 0.10 BTC. For instance, if you want to use four Free Plays, you have to bet 0.40 BTC."

As you can see this is not as free as they advise.

depo .01 for 1 ticket, 8 confirms and it shows nothing under tickets. i thought i would get 1 ticket for .01 but maybe im wrong?

post here your transaction


By the way, you can also search for your transaction filling the search field on the top of the site

Hey, I just read the pool thingy, and it says "50% retain for future draws", does this mean that in example, I win 1400 BTC and only get 700BTC? That's really quite a big percentage.

yes, this is done this way as, if anyone won the biggest jackpot, no one else will be interested in playing it anymore. The only problem is that they are inducing you to think that you can win all the jackpot at once.

That's silly. Then 1,400BTC's isn't the jackpot, but 700BTC is the jackpot, this should be changed IMO.

Thanks for any help.

I've got an issue, I bought 10 tickets for 0.1BTC at once, entered the transaction ID to find my play :
3042440e44d71503ba62fef4e6bfd2c10709dbdd365d9c90f97532a7ff8e0f4f

And it just shows a blank page..

I've used this before and it worked then.

Sorry for the delay in answer, I will check on that...

I'm curious, how do you deal with orphan blocks? Do you consider it to be a valid block for your draw as well?

Same as Bitcoin-QT does, when we receive a Block ( from Bitcoin-Qt ) we Twit, determine the winning numbers and process plays.

If for some reason there is a correction on the Blockchain, we remove the invalid block, the plays for the invalid block and proceed to re-process the new valid block.

That is the reason why we wait for 6 confirmations before send a payment.

hmmmm, so, IMO, you really should put this as a warning in the help page. Let's say someone bought a ticket for one draw and wait until the draw occur too see the result and let's say the ticket won the jackpot for 4 hits, if the player don't have in mind that the block can become orphaned later, he probably will be disappointed and maybe angry by the fact he wasn't warned that the results can be reprocessed. And this can lead him not play here anymore.

Good point, I though it was obvious that and invalid block won't count... but you are right, is a good idea to add it to the FAQ. Thanks!

Doesn't seem like many people are playing here anymore.  When it started, you'd see 8-16 draws per block, now, it seems sightings of even 1 draw per block are few and far between.
