Yes it only seems they have email authentication system like few sites and specially blockchain and yobit have right now. However that simple process can add great security feature to any platform.
The security should be a given. At the
very least there should be email authentication.
But there is also no point to remove it from that account, by keeping that 1 btc in that account and giving username password combo they are trying to attract more users to play in their platform which i have never seen done by any other gambling platform before.
Are you stupid? Who would even know the difference? This is just to advertise their security. Keeping a bitcoin in the account is completely pointless. Though, even if they did keep the bitcoin in there they could just simply block all withdrawal/tip requests from the account.
Yeah, I suppose its not really a "promo" per se and is designed to show off the security features of the site. However, the 1 BTC reward acts as a bounty if someone did manage to get in the account. Nobody would know if they removed it unless someone managed to get into the account. While unlikely, it is possible someone manages to find a bug or something. There is really no reason for them to prematurely remove the 1 BTC either. I'm sure after a certain length of time has passed, they will publicly state they are removing it if no one was successful in accessing it.
And you're rewarding someone that exploits security flaws?
The only real reason you might want to keep funds in there is in case there /are/ flaws - someone who exploited them would probably withdraw the bitcoins and then you can close and investigate the site.
... but why go through the trouble of "purchasing" insurance when in reality you can just remove the 'reward' and monitor the account activity (with IP connections)? And it's also more likely that if someone found a security vulnerability, they would go after whales instead of a measly 1 BTC.
Even if they did remove it, all you need to do is to show the screenshot of yourself manage to get into the account and they will still credit your account with 1 btc given that they havent end this event yet however pretty sure that they wont end it , just showcassing this actually give the site some credibility
Why would they bother crediting someone?
... and in the case of screenshots as proof, I'll leave it at this: Photoshop has existed for a very long time.
Wtf. So you have 2FA? That's your big gimmick as to why I should gamble with you? This is poor at best. A lot of people use the same passwords everywhere even h they know they shouldn't, so this isn't saying you have good security, it's just that you have 2FA. It's good, but if the email password is the same it's useless.
And people would find out the email how exactly? Keep in mind that both email authentication and 2FA are possibilities for security reinforcement on the site - email is just on by default. And hey, if the email password is the same... then that's the user's fault.
I will answer you directly, as you continue to say that I've removed 1BTC from the account. Just a rhetoric question, do you always think people are lying to you?
User hack_me has 1 BTC on a balance, I did not remove it, nor I will remove it. There are no locks on withdrawal or tips, or rain. Only DEFAULT settings for each and every other users on our website. If by anyway, you will be able to get in, you will be able to withdraw it instantly. The reason it is there because I said so and actually credited him 1BTC. I do not care anymore about that 1 BTC as it has been spent on marketing. So unless you want to say I'm lying, I'm asking you to stop spreading misleading comments.
Regarding general security on BitDice. As Steven already replied, it's more a marketing event, we show users that they are safe EVEN when they do not care about it. And no, email isn't a single point of failure as users can set actual 2FA, IP Lock, and Address Lock. You can not remove nor sign in without turning off 2FA or IP lock even if you have access to the email.
