When I log in to freebitco.in from my phone (with an app, not with phone browser), I don't see my account balance because there's no space to display it like it's displayed on a computer screen. I have to go to the menu list to see the balance. If I only play free roll, I don't see it and won't notice a deposit.
And it's all automatic I think, so site owner won't check if the account is active or not, unless he's asked to.
As others have said, it could be a third party app. However, the regular app has it so you have to click the options (the three lines at the top) in order to get your plance to show. Is this what you mean, as I don't see there being much of a problem with it?
It's absolutely not a problem for me. The app is basically a browser with direct link to freebitco.in and a refresh button. With it or with a Web browser, in portrait mode, our balance isn't displayed as it is on a computer screen, because there's no space to display the whole menu.
I don't care, but I was reacting to the person who said you obviously notice a rise in your balance (for the winner of the 2
BTC lottery prize) saying that no, it's not obvious if you play from a phone as balance isn't displayed if you don't open the menu (the tree lines on top right).
And about the security of a third part app, two points :
1) the day I'll have a significant amount on freebitco.in, I'll settle a 2FA authentification, the hacker will need my phone
2)every withdraw must be confirmed by email, so the hacker will also need my email access (which is obviously not the same as freebitco.in)
