Is this website still going? Seems to be. But, some comments have been ignored here. So, I am not sure if the website is still safe.

How many bets to date? How much total BTC on that number?

The site http://blockchainroulette.com/ isn't working, and OP hasn't been around for more than 1 year. There is absolutely no reason to consider the site still working.

Thanks for the solid so fast, friend. ~darylluke.

Hi joolz
It looks like this is the transaction you are asking about:
http://blockchainroulette.com/txid/72d9f45f34d8f442
https://blockchain.info/tx/72d9f45f34d8f442d271cbc07e9d59b774ffe3c43dc98379ce0f903fdc7ded1b

This transaction was committed to the block chain in block 233052, which is also what the game shows so this is not an error in the game.

Your transaction did include an appropriate transaction fee, however that doesn't always guarantee that your transaction will be included in the next block. It is up to the miner who discovered that block to determine which transactions they want to include in the block. Sometimes, no transactions are included in a block. This is something that we have absolutely no control over. It's just the nature of the Bitcoin protocol.

Thanks for the question, I hope this explanation makes sense.

I have a problem.

Sent a bid in of .02 BTC, 7 minutes later block 233051 comes in, nothing happens, then block 233052 comes in and void LOSE, now 233051 would have been a win and a payout 0f .06BTC

Now i have been playing on your site for the last 4 days and every time i send a bid, it has always been processed by the next block.

Why was this one not and why was my bid played against a block that came 10 minutes after the block that came after my bid?

Hi Everyone,

Just posting an update to let everyone know we're still around! It's been 4 months and we've just processed our 1,000th bet and over 100BTC.

As always, post your questions/comments/feedback and I'll get back to you.

I've added QR codes for each possible Roulette bet. If your wallet scans QR codes it makes it very easy to send bets.

The site also has bitcoin: URI links on the addresses. It sure would be great if these links worked with an online wallet, but that doesn't seem possible. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this happen?

Your bet is only processed when it is included in a block (1 confirmation). It is therefore possible that you place a bet, the chips appear on the board, a new block is created which spins the ball and it lands on a number you bet on,
but if your bet transaction is not included in that block, it does not win. I hope that makes sense.

If a Tx is not included in the first block, is it still possible to win upon the release of the next block without sending more money, assuming the Tx is included in that one?

Each block has a random roulette spin number, 0-37. The block your transaction is included in determines if your bet transaction wins or looses.
So yes, if you place a bet and a new block is created and your transaction doesn't get included in that block.. you don't need to send another transaction. As soon as your transaction is included in a block the spin result for that block is compared to the bet you placed and paid out if it's a winner.

WTF???

What you say, isn't very clear, but I understand. Just sucks when I paid a transaction fee and waited 15 minutes. You might have some pools discriminating against your bets.

FYI, my bets were the 2,3,5,6 and the 25. Bet 26 minutes ago, then it hit 5 15 minutes ago, 11 minutes after I placed my bet.

Never responded to me. Why didn't I win this bet?

Hi Wtfvanity,

I'm sorry I missed your previous post, in my previous response to a similar question I provided the explanation:
Your bet is only processed when it is included in a block (1 confirmation). It is therefore possible that you place a bet, the chips appear on the board, a new block is created which spins the ball and it lands on a number you bet on,
but if your bet transaction is not included in that block, it does not win. I hope that makes sense.

Here are the links to your bet transactions so you can verify the results:
http://blockchainroulette.com/txid/466b316ec038aecf
http://blockchainroulette.com/txid/7278d045e4b9c6f1

The short answer is that this is not a 0-confirmation game like SatoshiDice, bets are processed after 1 confirmation with the block that includes the transaction determining the win/lose for that bet.

Updates to the site today. It doesn't look like much has changed, but I've cleaned up the front-end browser interface to fix a few minor graphical bugs players were experiencing.

There have been no issues processing any bets over the last month, so the site is officially out of "beta testing" status.

Bet limits have been increased! (Bet limits are per transaction / transaction input, so are easily avoid by sending multiple transactions). As always, to ensure that all bets can be paid if won, the site will return bets placed if they could not be paid should the bet win.

I've got a few bitcents to give away on Twitter. Tweet at @BTCRoulette and I'll send them out!

I hate your stupid game. Grin

I've wasted a few btc on it. Finally hit the number... and am just now finding out, that the pending transaction doesn't count for the roll unless it's put into the block... I hit it, and it didn't make the block (even though I included a transaction fee) and waited over 20 minutes.

That blows.

Not trusting third parties with my private keys

Saw this on Jon Matonis twitter. The wait time is too long to gamble. I agree that some wait is good, but it needs to be more like one or two minutes as in live roulette, instead of ten.

The communal aspect is great. Doing this with craps would be awesome.
