Seems like the lottery is back to normal now, pretty happy for that.
Plus, you can always still add the extra 1% on special occasions like for lottery round 1000 or something like that.

Now I've got to play a few more lottery rounds with these good odds Smiley

Yes, it is pretty normal for now because dellwin did not join it which is make us can't win big amount and the prize will stay like this way if you can see it. I still prefer with the existance of dellwin so we will make good fortune right here. With his existance, the prize will be higher, although there is really small chance to win it but when your luck comes you will hit it. With current prize, this is less attractive Grin

That doesn't necessarily make it "not profitable" to do so, unless they are the only person participating; or am I thinking about it incorrectly?

When talking about EV we mean over a large sample of bets. When it was +1% EV for every 1 BTC he wagered the expectation, in the long run, is he should end up winning 0.01 BTC. Of course, luck is still involved he could have come away losing or winning more but statistically that is the expectation. Now with 0% EV the expectation is to breakeven so there really isn't much point playing the way he was.

They changed the lottery system from +1% EV to 0% EV. I doubt he or anyone else will bother buying the maximum number of tickets again, since it is no longer profitable to do so.

If even 1-ticket is purchased by someone else, then you purchase the maximum amount of tickets, are you not almost guaranteed to profit that 1-ticket price from that someone else?

The 1% obviously pats the profit so it doesn't matter if anybody else even participates, but this seems to just encourage more participation.

If 2-people buy the maximum amount of tickets (or just the same amount of tickets), and they are the only people that bought tickets (for sake of argument) then one of them is going to profit 2x what they put into it.

It looks like tomorrows draw is extremely light on tickets and in the jackpot, is Dellwin not participating this time around?

Let me make a suggestion, because right now the forum is having some trouble with images loading in threads as far as I can tell (unless it is just me and the couple of people I have talked to. When you are displaying the Top 5 Wagering Contestants it does not display, so if we are interested in viewing it we have to quote your post and manually visit the image link ourselves. It might be a bit easier to just write the names directly, but that is just my 2-cents.

It looks like tomorrows draw is extremely light on tickets and in the jackpot, is Dellwin not participating this time around? That almost makes me feel like I could toss a small amount in and have a chance for the first time in a long time. Every now and then I buy a couple tickets, but it really feels like a waste with such a low chance of winning (though, I guess that's sort of the point of a lottery).

I wish I could come singing high-praises today, but I've had a rough couple days in real-life and in my casino-life. I lost a good chunk of Satoshi and had to call it quits before I started betting on my emotions; that's how you end up homeless in a night. I can't fault you guys, though, fair is fair and hopefully I can snatch some profit from you tomorrow.

Best thing about Crypto-games.net is there is no need for registration to play and they accept many coins. They uses Secured Hash Algorithm like the other trusted gambling sites for provably fair system. We have a number of options for games but, the user interface is confusing for a newbie. I like playing Lotto and dice there. Withdrawal is instant and we can select the withdrawal fee. This option is very helpful if we need a faster withdrawal or we don't wan't to spend more on withdrawal fees. They have a very good support team and moderators. I'm a member since December 2017 and so far, it's very good website to me.

Lottery payout change

We'll be changing payout on all future lotteries from current EV+ of 1% to 0% House edge. 100% of the money raised
with ticket sales will be paid out to the three winners.

It's always a sad thing to see payouts get "lowered", although I have to say that this is going to be more positive than negative in my opinion. The pot may be smaller, but it also may be larger due to the increased interest now that people cannot simply purchase the max amount of tickets and be guaranteed profit into their account. This is a good move on your part, I definitely approve of this, because I've been wanting to purchase lottery tickets from you guys, but it has just seemed futile with the way things have been going prior. This will probably increase interest, definitely increase the "fairness" of the lottery and at worst it may lower the payout by an insignificant amount.

Every day we'll give away 10 rewards of 0.0002 BTC to random players that were active in past 24 hours!

Requirements/limitations:
- Be on site every day to be part of daily draw
- Amount will be automatically credited to your account
- Thats it Wink

I noticed this in the other thread you have about your daily giveaway and yet another reason I have to hangout on your site daily. I'm going to assume this is different from the "rain" that falls in the chat, and if that is the case you guys hand-out more coin rewards than any other casino OR faucet I have ever seen. You guys do an extraordinary job at allowing people to get their hands dirty without even needing any coin to do so.

Wrong choice of words there, abusing wasn't the correct term, but I'd still say that it probably wasn't feasible to keep paying 1% extra on those large jackpots.

maybe enabling this lottery again in the future with like 100 tickets max per user can help the situation ( if you considered bringing them back of course )

I'd probably go with 1000 tickets. With the price of BTC going 10x in the last year that would be a logical adjustment.

That would definitely make it a bit more fun and would still allow for pretty big jackpots.

this not abusing , abusing would mean someone who has many accounts and buying the max tickets with all of his accounts
but if someone is buying the max tickets you can't call that abusing cause it's not against the rules
if the site has  10 players like dellwin it will cost the owners a lot of money

I would agree with that. He was making sensible bets with odds in his favour.

Too bad it had to come to this, but let's hope this will make the lottery enjoyable again for most people.
I take it that *some* people were abusing the +1% thing by purchasing the maximum amount of tickets each time?

Hope that puts a stop to it at least. Now I just have to make sure that I never mention that the lottery is +EV in my next posts Tongue

It was not abused (limit was and still is 10k tickets per player, 50k tickets per round), we just decided to end the EV+ rounds. It was meant for a promotion anyway, but that promotion last for almost a year  Cheesy
