Ok this is it !I did not refresh for hours that is why... My ROI is still negative, but less, but now I can say it's only bad luck.

Thanks

In case you are not aware, you need to refresh the page to see the bonuses that you have won. You will still get the bonuses but will not see them in your balance until you refresh the page.

Actually there is one issue and a big one.

I have played with pretty good EV+ as other gamblers cashed out quicly, but my ROI was still very negative, I thought it was just bad luck but I did hundreds and hundreds bets, and still negative ROI.

So I checked and I found out that my bonus had never been paid.

Maybe I am wrong and I don't understand how it's working but my win should be odd*bet + bonus  right?

Bonus is always missing....

My account is marechou, you can check, maybe this bug is only for me....

I don't blame you, the site is pretty new it possible there is some bug, but in this case I would like you cumulate all my bonuses and reimburse me.

Thank you, and good luck with your betting game

I love your game ! Do you plan to have some investors like just-dice style? it could brings more people and the more people play the more funny the game is

1st time I am ready to gamble

Hi sir, It's been so long since we've conversed. I'll just make it short, you gave me more than you were obliged to in your game moneypot.com. So I'm going to return the favor. Check your email for full contents, sir. 

They are usually automatic unless the hot wallet needs a refill than they are manual. Usually no longer than 1-2 hours most of the time I think.

How long do withdrawals take? Mine still says pending it's been a while.

I have found out the secret as to what the moneypot graph actually is!

I don't mind.

Edit: I missed mentioning what happens if there are still coins in the pot after all the players who successfully cashed out took their cut. I think it gets divided between all the losing players in proportion to their stake, but maybe that's not right.

Also, when the game insta-crashes, no bonus is awarded I think.

Thanks Dooglus, that's a great description! I might steal it if you don't mind


and for everyone: the intuition behind this is, if it was possible for the non-biggest player to scoop up the entire bonus pot -- it would be unfair to the biggest player.

But yeah, I need to think of a good visualization for showing the bonus pool. Actually, I think the most important thing is seeing how much your bonus was as a % of your bet (so you can try play a +EV game)

I agree. The bonus is distributed very fairly, but it's kind of confusing, and not well displayed.

If you click on the game in the history, you'll see how the bonus was distributed, but that feels like leaving the game, and I doubt many people ever look there.

Some display showing "total bonus this round", "your bonus if you win", and other more dynamic stats might help engage more players in the bonus hunting ("your minimum guaranteed bonus if you cash out right now", for instance (it could be higher if the other remaining players don't cash out)). Showing the bonuses other players are winning would help too. If I always cash out at 1.01x I probably won't even be aware that the braver players are getting decent sized rewards pretty regularly.

Here's how the bonus works. Unless you're the biggest player you can never scoop the whole 1% bonus pot:

1% of each player's stake goes into the bonus pot. So if there are 4 players, betting 400, 300, 200, and 100, there will be 10 bits in the pot. If the biggest player wins, he gets the whole pot. The site works out the rate he would be getting if he won, ie. 400 bits bet gives 10 bits bonus - or 1/40th bonus per bit bet. It then applies the same rate to whoever actually wins.

So if the 100 bit player wins, he gets 1/40th of 100, or 2.5 bits. That leaves 7.5 bits in the pot, which goes to the next best placing player(s).

Suppose the 200 bit player comes 2nd. He is due 1/40th of 200, or 5 bits. There are still 7.5 bits in the pot, so he gets the full 5 bits he is due - the same as if he had come in 1st place.

Suppose the 300 bit player comes 3rd. He's due 7.5 bits (300/40) but there are only 2.5 bits left in the pot, so he gets those and that's all. There's nothing left for the 4th or worse place players.

Quick feature suggestion.

It would be nice if there was a box with the total amount of the bonus pool per round.  Right now, it's hard to tell what is going on with the bonus without playing the game a lot and even then you just get a general feel for it.  I think if you put the total amount of the bonus pot for each round, then people would strategize more around getting the bonus because it's more visible.

To take this one step even further, it would be cool if the bonus amount was dynamically updated in the "profit" column for each round.  If the players felt like they could "steal" the bonus away from the other players that could create some more competition and more strategies.

I love this game, but while reading the FAQ, I get the sense that there should be more strategy among the players, but instead everyone is simply trying to reach a particular multiplier.

Hey guys, I'm dealing with some massive database performance issue at the moment. I'm not sure what's going on, but I need to take the whole site offline while I do it as it's effected the ability for some cashouts to be recorded.

Please be patient until i find out what's happening, but rest assure everything will be made alright and no one funds have gone missing or anything =)


Edit: I believe the issue was I have not been vacuuming the database, I'm not 100% sure about it, but database appears to be performing normally once again.

As a precaution I'm moving to a much, much beefier database server. Please excuse the downtime as I do so.

If anyone has been effected due to these database issues (as I know some people have been) please contact me via support and I'll make sure to comp you ASAP. Everyone else I'll slowly work through the logs to recompensate.

Again, very sorry about this =/


Edit 2: We're back online, using a beefy database server -- and I'll spend more effort on keeping an eye on database performance

If i will play here i will take all your money

Hey guys, exciting news! We're entering a new phase of Money Pot, I'm seeing a lot of bot activity! For now the main bot function I'm seeing is join-sniping or something (people joining within the last 20ms of the join period, presumedly to hide their involvement in the round) often based on certain conditions (e.g. that 50k has been wagered that round).

If you play a really obviously exploitable strategy (e.g. always cashing out at 1.01x) you are more likely to have your bonus taken by bots, which would mean an excepted loss of an extra 1%.

But here's the more important thing: be careful. I don't have a problem with you using a bot to play, but don't run anything you don't 100% trust on your computer. One of the full-members here on bitcointalk sent me a copy of a "bot" (in .exe format) -- I gave him the benefit of the doubt and ran it, but it's almost certainly just trying to steal your bitcoins rather than help you play profitably!

Oh yeah, and lastly people are 100% responsible for the winnings and loses their bot makes. There's no recomp for bots-gone-wild so please test on an account with a small amount of money
