Glad crypto-games is handling this situation better than many online wallets and this is what everyone expected from one of the most trusted crypto gambling site. But still we can see a huge panic withdrawal from the bankroll.

While nobody should have to worry about keeping their funds on CryptoGames during the fork, having your coins in addresses you control the private keys to is the better option.
Someone who eg wants to sell their BCC as soon as possible might prefer to handle things themselves and not be subject to the dirstibution speed of CG.
On the other hand, it's a very comfortable way. Keeping your funds on CG means you can get BCC on an exchange account without having to install a BCC client and import keys there,
as CG is taking care of all those thing. I think that's a good way, especially for those who are new to bitcoin or just not as versed technologically as the average bitcoiner.

Since you are advising investors to divest their coins and send them to their own wallets it would be a nice move to make it possible to divest without fees just for once.

Just for reference: My posts reflect my own, personal opinions and those only.
Unless stated otherwise, they do not represent CG or any other person/company/service.
That being said, the divest fee is properly communicated before you invest, is only a very small fee and I don't see any reason to adjust the rules "just for once".

The problem for me simply was that I lost my veteran tag just before I readded those investments.
That way I wasnt aware that I would have to pay divest fees and didnt consider the case of the chain splitt some weeks later.

BCC - Hard fork preparations

Bitcoincash (BCC) is the name of a hard-fork off bitcoin’s chain planned to happen on August 1st. We’ve previously promised to allow investors access to all resulting chains, and we will stick with that promise. CryptoGames is not going to list or support BCC, but we are going to pay out BCC to investors and players. Here’s the details how:
Every user with a total amount (active balance + investment) of more than 0.01 BTC on their account will be eligible to claim their BCC. At the point of the fork, we’ll create a snapshot of user balances and everyone will receive the equivalent to their BTC balance in BCC.

In order to get your BCC, you need to set a BCC address for your account, you can do this starting right now. To set your BCC address, visit Your Account -> Settings -> BCC address on the far right. Make sure you save the address and double check it is correct. We suggest using addresses you control the private key to, but an exchange address works too.

Users will have 12 days after the fork to set their BCC addresses and receive their coins. After that, we will stop accepting new BCC addresses and you will lose your claim due to failing to meet the deadline. Should you have set your address in the 12 day window, but not get a payout yet, don’t worry, old requests will still be processed.

Checked your investments...your largest investments can be divested on 31st July without any fees and you can freely withdraw your coins. Some of your smaller investments will have in total around 0.0001 BTC fee. You should worry more about transaction fees than on divest fees Wink

I dont care about the small investments but the large ones. I wont be able to divest those on the 31st and withdraw since CG will deactivate all transactions starting early 31st july.

You might actually catch the timeframe and divest it without fees Wink

I'm an investor at Crypto Games and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised after reading the announcement regarding BCC on the site's blog. While there is still a lot of uncertainty on many exchange sites how the situation will be handled, everyone at Crypto Games just stays calm and has a plan. For me this is very important, as my number one priority as an investor is not profit but the safety of my funds. The owners and staff always seem very professional, calm and reasonable. So while I'm a little nervous about the upcoming events, I think my funds are in good hands and therefore for me there is no reason to withdraw my investment prior to 01.08.
Thank you to the whole team at Crypto Games for handling the situation so well! I'm hoping (and assuming) that everything will run smoothly.

Not an investor anymore, but I think I'll keep the coins I currently have in a hot wallet on Crypto-games.
If I do want to cash out some BCC, I can do so easily without having to expose my own private keys.

Probably just going to keep everything in BTC though.

How long might the distribution of BCC from CG take? I know this highly dependents on the events on 1. august but just in case of a split do you think you will need several days/weeks or would you guess you can manage the distribution in a fast pace?

It's certainly going to take a few days, which I would still consider as fast.
There's a decent amount of users to serve, which means an extra workload for a (rather) small team, besides running tasks and obligations.
Keep in mind that the process is semi-automated at best and the first priority is not speed, but security.
Doing this correctly without any mistakes takes it time, but as everyone knows, haste makes waste.

If there are several resulting chains, things are a bit more complicated. Crypto-Games plans to give investors access to their coins on all resulting chains. As a service, we already experienced a chain split with ETC/ETH some time back. Investors were asked to provide ETC addresses and we made payments the amount of their active investments at the time of the split. We continued to accept ETH on the site and as bankroll.
The situation for BTC will be similar. Crypto-Games will request addresses from investors for any resulting chain we no longer support. We will then pay out their share of forked coins.

Okay, thanks. Good to know you guys are ontop of things.

"withdraw fees" are bitcoin network fees.
The site uses the 21.co API to determine suggestions, and you can adjust your fees based on your preferences.
If you dislike the fact that bitcoin transactions became more expensive over the last year,
the site offers 8 other coins, including doge with fees as low as 1 doge (72 sat).

Is there any reason why Crypto-Games doesn't feature batch withdrawals as additional option? Many casinos and exchanges do this with fees as low as 0.0001 BTC per user, which is way lower than usual transaction fees. It creates some delay, but I think many people would wait a few hours to save ~0.001 BTC.

If we would do batch withdrawals with 10 tranasctions, users will have to wait for around 6 hours before transaction being processed. In our opinion that's unacceptable to wait that long.
If players can what for transaction being confirmed slowly, they can currently choose minimum fees as low as 0.00052 BTC.

LOL, I'm really glad that you don't Tongue

I've always been advocating for being able to choose transaction speed on your website (You can even check the chat logs for that Wink

)

If you would give the option to do batch transactions for an even lower fee, I'd think you'd end up with a lot of complaints from people who didn't realize it would be that slow.

Since the lottery is actually +EV, it makes sense not to invest in a paid API package from randompicker.
With the links included, I guess it's honest, unless you'd run the numbers multiple times (literally the only way I see how you could cheat this).

RandomPicker provides a list of all drawings made using the CryptoGames account during the last 30 days:
https://www.randompicker.com/Project/Public/ProjectsRecent.aspx?Key=438810x59523

Any multiple drawings / drawings outside of the scheduled lottery rounds would turn up there.

Didn't know that, that solves every last little bit of doubt that I could have had about the lottery.
Thanks Lutpin!

Not that I didn't trust Crypto-Games ofc, just have to take every possible scenario into account Wink

Just being fair towards myself and other users...
