OK, this seems nice and polished. But i have one, very important question:
Where do you get your random number / random number seeds ?

When it comes to computers, all "random" numbers are really only pseudo-random. And proper randomness factor / entropy is everything when it comes to online casinos.
Just look what one of the companies did to get REAL random numbers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n8LNxGbZbs

Perhaps you should consider getting real random seeds from somewhere. Otherwise i don't think the game will be really fair.

----
BTW, do you know that there are specialized companies whose only occupation is generating random numbers and selling them ?

I think people may start speculating about are you really giving 50% chance, so perhaps you could provide some sort of a proof of that on the website (like do the randomizing before someone puts some bitcoins on). Not that I doubt your honesty, I doubled four times in a row. Cheesy

But I am sure some people will start complaining about it.

...although I think most people that played a couple of times will realize that the odds really are 1:1 and game is fair.

As I said, you don't have to convince ME.

PS. Could you please respond to my PM. Thanks.

Very cool, I like the affiliate program. Should grow quickly with people sharing their affiliate link on social media.

Nicely done.

Ha, validation would be nice. I won my first and not since. Martingale fail, at least I chickened out pretty early. Grin

You should allow people to deposit and have a balance (by IP address) so the gratification of winning is instant.

Some people like to bet smaller amounts more (illogical I know).

Site is very cool

Wow, haven't used it yet, but it looks slick.

First thought, 49% chance at 200% is probably better psychologically, and more appropriate since the name is Double Trouble.

Also, it says the min is .01, what will I get back if I win .0198?

Thanks. I'll have a look into that. 49% chance at 200% sounds better but think 50% chance at 198% is a better deal. You are right about the name. Better is to have the 200% payout but then I'll have to change the affiliate program too so it will pay only in case of a loss. (the 1%)

The bet for 0.01 is an exception. It pays 200% already. I did this because 198% of 0.01 is 0.01 (rounded down to penny because I can not create bitcoin out of thin air) and it looked so sad. Cry

There is an affiliate program too: just play once at http://doubletrouble.bitcoinbet.com and visit the partner page for your personalized link.

I didn't mean to suggest a change in equity, I just did sloppy math. I guess it would be 49.5% to keep it the same.

The site looks great!

Suggestion: accept payments with 0 confirmations immediately, but then delay paying any winnings until you get 1 confirmation (or more for large payments). This is a better experience.

Good advice. This is what bitcoin darts does.
