Honestly, I think the best for you would be to take the website offline now.
So you work on your website, make it social, community-friendly, and only then when it's all done, make a big party and relaunch it. Cheesy

There is too much to fix "on the go" and people won't notice small changes. Better deliver something finished and polished.

The suggestions you have given will be nice additions to the gambling site but I don't think that it is necessary to shutdown the website temporarily, as it is possible that they update the website while maintaining operations with just one maintenance update just like what other gambling websites are doing. This is also a better way as even shutting down temporarily will provide discomfort to players. Their website being re-designed is really a must as the only thing I see missing is an attractive website and a well designed ANN thread here in BCT.

i think its not fair to put promos on twitter .
i am checking there since first day and i couldnt pick single promo Huh

LOL why it is not fair, they are free to share the promos anywhere they wish. Probably it is just not effective way, but nothing is unfair like you think. You were just too late to claim the code as I believe many people are bookmarking their account so they wont be late once they twit new promo codes.
Too bad, they have given away many codes but still lack of active players. Where are they who have redeemed the code? It could be more effective if they are giving away the promo codes in this forum with strict requirement such as forum rank so members are able to make an appointment with others when to play.

the main problem is twitter filtered in my country so every time i want to check there i should use proxy Grin

Seems like a good game but the real problem is there are not enough users to participate. All the slots are open and waited for 1 hour to see anyone joining but, i couldn't find one. Is there a peak time to join the lottery?

It seems that the admin of the site might need to find another way to attract more players to play on the site except giving out the promos code which is not working very well at the moment, the waiting time for a few players to join a game is too long and usually the funds will end up being refunded from a game as the blink expired.

Good thing that you are providing promos constantly in your website but I do think you still need to focus on improving your website's design as it is really not appealing to some people including me. If I would give a fair comment to your website, it looks similar to poorly designed hyip sites I come across once in a while. If you don't want other visitors to have the same impression as I have try to make your website look more better to make it look more trustworthy in their eyes.

The referral program on this site looks confusing to me, as it seems that the site would only credit you for the first 4 blinks for every users you refer to the site when your referrals deposit either bitcoin or ethereum to play on the site. I think most gambling sites in the market would usually allow people to earn the commission on all the number of games played by your referrals, so it does not look attractive to refer anyone if it only allows you to earn commission for the first 4 blinks.

It seems there is a little update on the game, the game was using $ but it is using mBTC but it makes a little bit confusion as user's balance is still shown in $ instead of mBTC. Hopefully you can use the same denomination on both balance and amount on the game.
I also want to complain about your registration process, as users are able to use any emails (even email of other people) to register because there is no email verification needed to create an account. It has significant effect especially about the promo code as user may register as many as accounts they wish by using any emails to abuse the promo. Create a new better promo that cant be abused easily like what you have now is much more better.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes after feedback from several people, including the post earlier about currency, we made the blinks display as cryptocurrency only with tool tips to the currency in the user's profile. We are looking at a couple of different ways of displaying this information on the menubar so it was not implemented at the same time.

There are a few promo mechanisms in place to prevent the same person from redeeming them but they can be bypassed.

Keep the feedback coming, we are loving it! Thanks for everybody's help!

I see. I hope you can decrease the tine for redeeming promo again. I had lost all the BTCs I received from the promo code I used yesterday. Cheesy

Definitely. There has been some hoarding of promo codes (imagine that). We are looking at ways of curtailing it. We hope to implement faucets instead this weekend which may help or provide an alternative to promos.

We are glad people are having fun though. Cool

There also seem to be a bug or something with the USD value equivalent of the btc price, I have a screenshot here:

Code:

[img]https://i.imgur.com/gzRj6Jc.png[/img]

I see that the limit for redeeming a promo code was also increased to once per week now?

At the time of writing 1 ETH = $ 290.49 USD.
So 0.00620000 ETH = $ 1.81
And 0.00210000 ETH = $ 0.61

Is there something I am not seeing? I am currently sober but that does not mean anything.

The promo limit has been temporarily increased to 1 week while we work on additional features.

Ah! It was ETH. I didn't notice since I was playing with Bitcoin and I clicked on your link from OP and I guess it automatically redirect to the ETH blinks.
I apologise.

Had fun playing with the promo btc. Cheesy

Too bad that I didn't win any game that I've participated in.

I have to agree with yogg, quite a nice and unique game indeed. This will be a good game once there are a few more players.

Is there any possibility to create a custom game? If not, I wish there is more game with a less amount of required btc to get a spot? Or maybe I just didn't noticed but the games I participated in was asking for a 0.002 btc as bet.

btw, the site takes too long when loading on mobile.

Thanks for the feedback Jacee.

We do intend on making the ability to create custom games once there are more users. We figured that it may create too much confusion at this point.

We adjusted our template limits down now to allow people to make better use of promos

Awesome! BTW, I want to report that there is no option to create an account or log in on the website when I am viewing it on my smartphone.

Tried it with the promo code (0.004btc) but too bad I was not lucky enough to win against other users. Yes, the game works perfectly aside the issue about the provably fair system to generate the winner.
The promo code is also good as users are unable to withdraw it unless users are lucky enough to win from the free btc/eth promo. I have to agree about the suggestion to create a custom game so there will be much more available games to play where players are able to choose which amount that are suitable with their balance.

I discussed this with our people and we will implement a provably fair routine over the next several days.

More importantly, new promo codes are on twitter.

Only thing that bugs me is, the game's operator should make it provably fair, to prevent them to tamper with outcomes, shall they be malicious and cheat if their game gains traction.
I am not saying they are malicious and that they will cheat ! I am just saying, why leave that possibility open ?

Thanks for your thoughts. We looked at a couple of ways of doing this. If the winning slot is chosen at start, we would know the slot to choose. If the winning slot is chosen at the end we could favor some users over other users.

We did not like the idea of predetermining a winner and storing this information. Currently, the site determines the winner as a random number once all slots are taken.

Provably fair is VERY important if you are bidding against the house. We feel that the house advantage built into each blink and the 1% transaction fee is good enough to run the service. The house wins with every blink and every deposit or withdrawal. No need to mess with the balance of wins.

Unlike other websites, we need users to drive the lottery process on the website. When a user wins, they will hopefully go on to blink several more times and engage more users. We want our users to blink as much as possible and have fun

Having said that, we may change this methodology in the future if it proves to be a hurdle.

Its not just about the house, you can easily create your own account, go into one of the games and make yourself win in code.

if anyone has withdrawn the money from the site , please let us know, do not be shy

I did. I withdrew my promo winnings. Then I deposited some of that back. Both function works.
