We made a change so that a players name will show in trees.
When running past it might still be hard to notice so trees still provide some cover advantage but it stops players being able to camp for hours in a tree and then just shoot new players who leave.

The website is not too bad but I suppose its still very fresh as after checking it out only 2 players were seen online. This though should improve with time if the team is on it, anyways will check in for updates 
Checked back in, now that I was looking in more detail at how the project is described I see one major challenge. This challenge consists of the number of players, in the description of how the game works there must be 99 players and the top 5 will then be chosen and have the tokens allocated, but the problem is that because the platform has just been launched there are yet not enough players, thus at the moment it seems to me like the burden has been shifted in a way to the players because if they're excited to play they'd invite friends etc. Based on this interpretation, first the game can't yet be played properly since there aren't enough players, and secondly, the burden of community expansion seems to be a player's burden - one which, in my opinion, the team should be mainly responsible for by allocating the necessary resources to do so.
I do not expect a comment, this is purely my observation!
The game ends after there has been 100 entrants and everyone has been killed.
You can also re-enter after you die.
You could go in the game, kill 10 players and then leave and still win 1st prize plus the 10 kill bonuses.
You can speed the games up and earn more by inviting others to play with you.
People have been doing this and we have paid a few hundred dollars in prizes already. You could earn more on this than in faucet if you are smart about it.
We will be doing bigger paid ads soon, just waiting on finishing more features and mobile version first.
So in this manner as you describe what I understand is that anyone can enter the game at any time and if by chance they happen to enter the game when one player has done most of the job, the last one could essentially come in and claim the reward.
No. You can enter at any time and rack up kills and get points. If you have enough kills to be in top 5 you get an EXTRA bonus at the end. But you don't need to sit from start to finish.
To be honest I am confused with everyone in this thread.
When I am testing features I open up two browsers and kill my own characters over and over. I can finish a game in less than 3-4 minutes this way and will 99*100 satoshi for the kills plus 10000 satoshis for 1st prize.
This is far more than people earn on dice faucets in that time so I don't know why there's not lots of people just doing that

Nice improvement to reduce the lag on your site, on my first try to play on your site I experienced some lag but now its look good, I notice that you need a good marketing strategy to attract more player because after checking your site again I see a small number of player.
September 12, 2019, 09:32:46 AM
the lag has been significantly reduced, and the end game danger zone shrinking the safe zone is highly effective.
i would recommend trying to make the usernames invisible when a user is under a tree, so they get the same protection as someone with no user name. or you can give people with no username the default username of anonymous to make it fair. but this will just incentive people to make there username, ".", so they are more hidden when under a tree.
keep up the good work!

I can't call it gambling , more like a fun timewaster - especially with the prizes "up to 100 satoshi"
100k minimal withdrawal makes the players return and play again and again , but it must take a long time reach that amount
its a version of agar.io bitcoin clones , hope it doesn't repeat their mistakes
I'm pretty sure all of the agar clone games are dead because it was impossible to fight cheaters and players who teamed up to kill the opposition and win the prize
if you don't introduce the paid entry system , maybe think of alternative ways of monetizing the site ?
since I am not sure the pay-to-enter model will be too popular

Yes, I agree with you. To get only 100 sat on the first place will be boring and it really takes time. It is better to claim faucet easily and try to gamble with it, luckily it will be hit and we might get some good payout. But I was wondering how they can get their profit here since they will pay to the winners but when players are losing they wont pay anything instead. Do we need some entry fee to start the game?
I dont see for this to be a gamble if there were no amounts involved from players side.They can earn satoshis freely by just killing out another players.
There are a few ways to earn Bitcoin without depositing one single Satoshi of your own. From using faucet sites, taking polls, or getting paid for freelance work in Bitcoin, venues that pay in BTCare readily available for those willing to earn it through hard work or sacrificing time.
There are actually lots of it and lastly you are off-topic mate. lol September 11, 2019, 02:32:43 AM

what only 100 sats ? thats too low for such a prize in any for of gambling but how can you say that it takes time to earn ? like what i said , 100 sats is only small and can be easily achievable .Quote
It is better to claim faucet easily and try to gamble with it,
fauecets are not really a good source of income . many users have already gave up claiming on them but how much more if you gamble your claims ? that is only a real time waster . you could loose all your hard work if you gamble your faucet claimQuote
But I was wondering how they can get their profit here since they will pay to the winners but when players are losing they wont pay anything instead. Do we need some entry fee to start the game?
a gambling site always earns something because not all players can possibly win . its normal that a winner should be paid because they win but loosers are loosers so they arent going to be paid . and yes fees are always needed to play the game because its not fee , September 10, 2019, 05:23:16 PM

Hi
We've updated the game mode. Now there is no waiting area and there is an in game leaderboard where the top 5 players with the highest score at the end of a game win the bonus prizes.
This should help with the problem of few players playing as you don't need to all join within the 30 second window.
It should also encourage players to play instead of camping until the end as there is no last longer prize and players with the most kills get the bonuses.
To spice it up a little more your score gets cut in half if you die!
I have read all replies and updated the OP and added an FAQ to answer all questions posted in this thread. I have also added this to the website.
Here's the FAQ. Hopefully that helps. If there's any other questions or something I missed let me know and I will add it...

good update. I've been playing with some other people and we got to the end of the round with just 2 players left, me and some other guy i could not find. he was probably afk in a tree because I was looking for him for a solid thirty minutes.
I recommend you make the trees toxic/cause damage once no more players can join the round.
also, the more people who joined the game, the more the game lagged. it was noticeable and effected game play consistently.
Hi
I saw that game running just now.
What I think we can try is have the radiation move in to cover the whole map say after 90 entrants are in the game? That means anyone just hiding in trees would be killed eventually.
I will look in to the lag too. There's a lot of improvements on the todo list that would help with that. It will take maybe the whole week or two to get through all them though
Were you signed in to any social accounts at the time? If so pm me your id and I can update your balance if it wasn't credited.
Any other suggestions you have from you or friends are greatly appreciated. We have really big plans for this over the next 6 months including total graphics overhaul and better characters. We just needed to test the concept first and get all the initial issues out the way
if it helps. it seems the lag get worse when i am using the arrow keys to move around. going straight/using just one key to go in one direction is usually fine. but when i start to get creative with 2 or more key movements within a second the lag starts to freeze things up for a bit.
also, having the dangerzone shrink the safety zone is a great idea for the end game!
don't worry about the payment. i just wanted to give some feedback. I like your game, can't wait to see how it progresses.
Added a small change so that diagonal movement is sent to the server as one command instead of both left and up for example. That might stop lag a little.
Also added a little punch animation
I'm thinking we could run some "happy hour" promos where the prizes are like 100 satoshis per kill instead of 1 and the leaderboard prizes can go up to 10,000 satoshis.
What time of the day would people prefer if they are interested?

you're right it's not gambling. it's more like a game of skill, where you can put money on yourself and your own skill. sort of like poker.
I was the top player on chopcoin.io for a long time, and it wasnt the teaming that killed off the game.
it was the devs lack of improvement of the game.
they came out with new pay to play team based playgrounds but the teaming system was not designed correctly. users could predict which team they would get on if they joined the round, so this discouraged participation, since they would join a team that was winning, but not join if they new they'd end up on a team that was losing.
the devs should have stuck to a simple free for all pay to play playground, and make that the only option for players to play during the weekend. instead the devs left the free to play playground open during all times, and only had a free for all tournament once during the weekend every so often during a certain time. they should of had rolling tournaments throughout the day/weekend.
the bungled the project when they could have implemented simple scheduling procedures to encourage participation.
its really sad too, because for a while there they had a good community of players.
interesting , I was playing casually there and wasn't happy when it closed
it was fun and even some Twitch streamers and popular e-sports players used to play
the community was good indeed and building a community around a project is very important
wish you better luck with the game , this market is pretty empty , not many casual skill based crypto games out there ( not associated with casinos or gambling )
and it could become a successful project

What is the difference between entrants and players?
Each game can have up to 100 entrants playing. If you see 25 / 100 entrants it means 25 players have joined the game so far. The players count is the number of players still alive in the game.
Why are the prizes so low?
The game is in early access mode and so the prizes are small to begin with until we get a better estimate of our income from ad revenue and costs of running the game. We will increase the prizes in the near future. Currently every time you kill a player you are rewarded 1 satoshi.
Do you plan to add entry fee games?
Yes! We will add a separate tournament mode where players can pay an entry fee to join. All fees collected will be added to a prize pool and split between the top scorers in the game.
Why should I log in?
You do not need to log in to play. However if you would like to save your stats and earn Bitcoin you must login. We need to be able to confirm you are a real person and not someone creating hundreds of different accounts to win Bitcoin. If we find users who are multi accounting then their balance will be confiscated and no pending withdrawals will be processed.
What data do you collect and what do you do with it?
When you login we get your Twitter or Facebook Id (a unique identifying account number), your display name and your email address. We don't do anything except use the Id to verify your account the next time you login so that you can see your stats or withdraw your prize Bitcoin. We may use your email address in future for promotions or contacting you in the unlikely event there is a problem with your account.
Can you post on my timeline, see friends list, read private messages or see my phone number?
We do not request access to any of this kind of data from Facebook or Twitter.
We've updated the game mode. Now there is no waiting area and there is an in game leaderboard where the top 5 players with the highest score at the end of a game win the bonus prizes.
This should help with the problem of few players playing as you don't need to all join within the 30 second window.
It should also encourage players to play instead of camping until the end as there is no last longer prize and players with the most kills get the bonuses.
To spice it up a little more your score gets cut in half if you die!
I have read all replies and updated the OP and added an FAQ to answer all questions posted in this thread. I have also added this to the website.
Here's the FAQ. Hopefully that helps. If there's any other questions or something I missed let me know and I will add it.
FAQ:
Does the game work on phones?
No. The game only runs in browsers on desktop computers and laptops. We are currently developing a mobile version which you can download to you mobile soon.

You can withdraw Bitcoin to your own wallet by clicking your balance on the homepage. You will be asked to enter your Bitcoin address and amount. A small fee will be taken to cover the miner fee when sending your Bitcoin.

One thing I have noticed from the response of many is the lack of players on the platform which is something that can be discouraging because if there is no one to play with and I get to try like two times, hardly would I give it a third shot before moving to something else. The point is there is need to get people to play more and to do that is to ensure they are being compensated for their time. Since you are relying on ads, it means the compensation is going to be really low going by the number of satoshis to be earned while playing and that is a discouraging factor. Its time in my opinion to step it up. Introduce a way where users can pay no matter how small then it corresponds to their winnings with some amount on the house for development purposes. It then come as a form of peer to peer game platform. My opinion...
September 09, 2019, 02:41:01 AM
I have try to joining the game but i get zero bullet so i cannot shoot the box or the enemy to get more ammo or satoshi however does your site not support for smartphone because currently i playing use my mobile phone and the look are a little different from the screenshot at OP and also i cannot control my character properly
Hi
The game does not work on mobile yet
We are developing a mobile app version.
You can only play on desktop browser for now.
For ammo you can break boxes by running in to them and pressing fire to punch.
September 09, 2019, 02:04:22 AM
This game does not look mobile-friendly, is it?
I tried to play the game and see how this 2D game works, but all it did was when I tapped anywhere on the screen, that small rabbit 'or look alike' just turned its head or eyes towards that location. Nothing happened ahead of that. I even watched the "How it works" to know more but nothing was happening as mentioned. How to kill is what I am still unable to understand. It doesn't look interesting to me a lot if it is about my opinion on this game, but everyone has got their own taste.

We've added a login with Facebook option now.
So far I have never tried to log in on a gambling site using social media via a Facebook or Twitter account, is it safe?If you log in using that social media it means they can control your account by posting anything without the user's knowledge and also they can record our personal data including real name, address and telephone number.

Just the same here, due to curiosity on this game platform I tried also to visit the site but I felt a bit annoyed because of waiting for almost 20 minutes but nothings happen. What the reason behind of this problem that I encountered? due to my internet connection? or the website itself. Yes, good to know if there is app version that can we download, I'm sure easy to use and there's no waiting happen. Anyway, try to load again the site later. I just wanted to play this unique gaming platform. Good idea though.
September 09, 2019, 12:57:59 AM
This is no doubt an interesting concept, but before checking the site? Isn't it necessary that you give more information about the site?
Moreover you also need to make the thread here more attractive so that players will visit the site.
Also i can see that, players are not happy with the amount they get for 1 kill.
So just think about it and do make some relevant changes.
September 08, 2019, 05:10:49 PM
We've added a login with Facebook option now.
Wow! that was unexpected. I didn't really expect that you're going to hear out my opinion. Thanks for adding that option to login, I would now give a try to your game and will give my feedback later on.I really like the concept but my question is the same as many, How is revenue being generated to keep the game sustainable ? I think a referral program is needed to get players. I could easily get a few hundred people playing within a month but there is no incentive for me to do so.
They are starting out and most start ups has their own budget to start to sustain their rewards. And after that, once the game clicks there will be advertisers and revenue will start coming in with various sources. September 08, 2019, 04:18:51 PM

What's all with the negativity? Lol. As long as they're not scamming, they're ok. Sure give some criticism but cut them some slack and give them some suggestions too.
Anyway, bitcoinshowdown.io, I like the concept. Keep working hard at it. I think I know where you can pitch your idea as some sort of faucet (for some alt). Send me a pm and I'll see what I can do.

Your website says,
Are you serious?? I understand that you are not charging any entry fee and earning only from advertisements. But having a little entry fee and sharing it among the winners will make the winnings more attractive and possibly attract more players!

For every player you kill you will earn 1 Satoshi.
If you finish the game in rank 1-5 you will earn a bonus prize up to 100 Satoshis

Later on, his page is full of ads and you will be confused which one is the real content of his page.
Yes, it is better to have a small entry fee rather than to have an annoying website because of too much ads.
The website is not too bad but I suppose its still very fresh as after checking it out only 2 players were seen online. This though should improve with time if the team is on it, anyways will check in for updates
His leaderboard says, they have more than 2 players that tried out this site though there are only 2 online players at this time.
At least add an FAQ section so players will know more about this game.
The website only has 2 small ads on the homepage and it's very easy to see how to play the game as the ads don't get in the way.
There are no ads in the game.
We will be updating the FAQ section today when we upload the new in game leaderboard changes

It is probably a waste of time, it's much worse than the actual faucet that we trying to get in some other faucet website. Since it is just like that it is not so appealing considering that it is a 2D game. OP really need to change something here like increasing the winning satoshi to a reasonable yet satisfying for gamblers. Quote

Latest changes:
We have removed the lobby/game starting area!
Now everyone joins the current running game.
There can be up to 100 players in a game.
The game ends when the last player has been killed AFTER 100 entrants have joined.
If you die you can rejoin the current game if it is not full.
After a game has had 100 entrants or the virus has covered the whole map then new players will join a new game.
This means that new players who join will more likely have someone to kill or play against.
The last longest prizes have been removed so this mode encourages players to hunt down and kill each other, there is no benefit to camping now.
You still get 1 sat for every player you kill (prizes will increase in future).
The player movement has also been made faster.
What's next?
Either later today or tomorrow we will add in in game leaderboard that will show the top 5 players who have the most kills.
These top 5 players will be paid the bonuses prizes after a game ends.
Let me know what you think of these changes

I can not see any ads in the game. But there is no one here which we can play game with.
I think you should run a good marketing campaign. I am sure if the players number increase, then you can see the real hype here.

You won't see ads in the game while playing. Only on the homepage and some other pages when you are not playing.
If you have ad block you won't see ads either. Though it helps if you whitelist it for this site
These are good news. And where does your income come from? You are running background mining? Because you can't pay without any income.

Wow! I have just seen this game that really pays BTC and by using your skill and wellness in playing the game but the game is in 2D so I guess it is a simple game alright but I guess the developer can sure improve a lot more and sticking with the gameplay I guess enhancing the graphics and maybe adding a bit of a twist will surely make players come by and would actually want to really play this game, Actually I am pretty pumped when seeing how the game works, It doesn't reach the uppermost hype but if given a quality upgrade it will surely become a big hit.
And If you know the game 8-bit showdown it is pretty much like this but with a stunning graphics that player is craving to come back again and again, you can surely get that concept and apply it here.

Who is the operator?
September 06, 2019, 10:09:16 AM
I had checked and read all replies and above and it seems they had a problem in joining the game just because it was lack of members that always online. The suggestion above was right, players getting annoyed about waiting even 5 minutes above and the best move is to put a bot that available when nothing's online. Nevertheless, the whole concept was good it looks like a strategy game.
September 06, 2019, 10:00:41 AM
Right now, you have a problem of lacking players that are playing, maybe you should add a bit of bots into the game so that its never a long waiting period. I have tried to play the game and joined the lobby but I was the only player and had to wait couple minutes and there was still no other player so I quit, I am sure others would do the same, they would join and wait a while but if no one else joins than they would probably leave too and you will never have enough players.
However, if you add some bots and people could play no matter how many real players there are than you can actually have some people coming in all the time from playing and eventually replace the bots. That's at least what I can think of, if you have any better idea to bring in more players you can do that too.

Thanks for the feedback.
I really didn't want to do bots as I wanted player vs real players.
However I think I have a good idea we can try.
Get rid of the waiting area.
When you click play you join the current running game. People can continue to join the same game at any time until there has been a total of 100 players in the game.
Instead of paying bonuses to the last remaining players we can pay bonuses to the 5 players with the most kills after 100 players have joined and died. We can show a leaderboard in game
On top of that we can also allow players to rejoin the same game if they die and there hasn't been 100 players in the active game yet. But if they die they lose 50% of their points on leaderboard
What do you think?
p.s. I've updated the OP with more details of the game

It is probably a system based on receiving and distributing its revenues through advertisements. Such systems are becoming more and more difficult under current conditions. And payments are starting to fail.
We've already paid out $70 to the players on leaderboard so far. Our payments are not failing.
I think you got it wrong. I didn't say anything about you. In general, I'm talking about similar games and applications.

Yes it is very fresh. We just released it.
We have plans to make a lot of updates including new weapons, characters, areas and graphics. As well as sound and customisation options.
This is just the first version to try and build the initial player base so that new visitors always have someone to play against.
September 06, 2019, 01:44:36 AM
Most of the websites has that 'connect to facebook' login feature but yours is to connect with twitter account. I think there's more people who prefer to log in through facebook that twitter.
I'm not favor of online games that connected your personal social media, sounds like they also had access on it and might all your private belongings on social media might also get the hack. Can I join and play using Gmail account only? This good just like you are collecting faucet while playing the battle royale at the same time you are also do earning a bitcoin. I was tried to click "join game" but it takes time for me so long. Why?For this casino, I don't see any other way to register except by connecting to your twitter account. So the first step you have to do is use your gmail account for creating a twitter and just connect it afterwards.
September 05, 2019, 06:36:38 PM
Just curious so tried it out. Looks like a time killer, if only you guys would come join. I see 3 players online but if I start the game it's just me alone waiting for players. Not exactly sure how it'll work out since I can't do anything except rotate a pair of... eyes? on a circle in the middle? Heh.
Edit. Someone entered. 10s countdown started. Timer finished. Nothing. Seems like a bug? Left click didn't work. No exit button. Escape doesn't work. Had to close the tab.

Base on your review to the site mate. Made me not visit it. It will just waste my time. Maybe the site is just newly established and don't have much member yet. So what will you earn when you don't have any opponent. It says there that you will earn when you kill opponent. So it's a waste of time to enter such site.

I have based that because of what I have noticed with most of the websites that we usually visit.
Also, it would be great if you have a sample video on how to play this game and show some highlights of it.

It has nothing to do with gambling as it is just like a free game to earn small amount of satoshi so it should be moved to Micro Earning board unless there is a plan to make it like a real gambling where people are risking money to play against each others but I think it will be hard to make this game be provably fair.
Sorry to say but the earning of playing your game is too small, I believe free bitcoin hunters will prefer on claiming faucet instead of playing your game.

Hi
We are planning on adding a pay to enter mode, like in poker tournaments.
The current mode is like a freeroll free trial mode except you can still win Bitcoin.
The more people that play the more you can win.
Each game can have up to 100 players playing and we can run many games at the same time.
You could invite some friends to play and try it out. You get Bitcoin for each player you kill so the more people in game the more you stand to win :

Well, the same as here. There is a count down timer and I am waiting a little bit, after the count down, nothings happen.Edit. Someone entered. 10s countdown started. Timer finished. Nothing. Seems like a bug? Left click didn't work. No exit button. Escape doesn't work. Had to close the tab.
Indeed, we are in the same I close the tab too and I did not continue because I fell it is did not work. Well, the prize of the game is too low, probably nobody wasting their time and spending maybe 30 mins of waiting.

Are you serious?? I understand that you are not charging any entry fee and earning only from advertisements. But having a little entry fee and sharing it among the winners will make the winnings more attractive and possibly attract more players!

We are going to add a paid entry mode soon.
Think like in poker where there are tournaments with multiple different buyin levels.
This initial version is like the freeroll mode.
Once we get feedback and build a small player base we can add the paid buyin modes.
Also note that the current prizes were set because we don't have a user base yet.
Once we have regular players playing we can increase the free to play prizes as we would be generating more income from ads with more players.

I checked out the game, and it looks simple but nice. In fact, I think these kinds of interactive games are what most gambling websites lack. It's nice to go over the map and search for ammo and players. It's an interesting sort of faucet if people get Satoshis for it. But I agree with avikz that it would be more interesting if there was a small fee to join the game, and then the money players paid to join would go to the winner of the game. 'Cause 1 Satoshi or even 100 Satoshis is nothing. You won't lose anything from it as a website, and if you believe in the free version, just make two modes of the game (one is what you already offer and another is where people pay the entry fees that go to the winner of each round). Good luck! Quote

Later on, his page is full of ads and you will be confused which one is the real content of his page.
Yes, it is better to have a small entry fee rather than to have an annoying website because of too much ads.
The website is not too bad but I suppose its still very fresh as after checking it out only 2 players were seen online. This though should improve with time if the team is on it, anyways will check in for updates
His leaderboard says, they have more than 2 players that tried out this site though there are only 2 online players at this time.
At least add an FAQ section so players will know more about this game.

Is it a wireless internet connection game where the players contests against each other anonymously. Are the players going to stake out bitcoin? If the players won't what's the disadvantage for losing in the battle

It has nothing to do with gambling as it is just like a free game to earn small amount of satoshi so it should be moved to Micro Earning board unless there is a plan to make it like a real gambling where people are risking money to play against each others but I think it will be hard to make this game be provably fair.
Sorry to say but the earning of playing your game is too small, I believe free bitcoin hunters will prefer on claiming faucet instead of playing your game.

https://BitShowdown.io is a free to play 2d Multiplayer Battle Royale game.
You are stranded on a radioactive island with 99 other players. You must kill all other players while avoiding the hazard zones to survive. Break crates by punching or shooting to find guns and ammo.
Players earn Bitcoin with every kill. The top 5 players at the end of each game will win extra Bitcoin bonus prizes.
Controls:
Move with cursor keys or WSAD. Punch/Shoot with left mouse or F key.
Scoring:
You earn 1 point every time you kill another player. If you die your score halves. The top 5 players with a score above 0 at the end of the game will win bonus prizes:
#1: 10000 satoshi
#2: 5000 satoshi
#3: 2500 satoshi
#4: 1500 satoshi
#5: 1000 satoshi
FAQ:
Does the game work on phones?
No. The game only runs in browsers on desktop computers and laptops. We are currently developing a mobile version which you can download to you mobile soon.
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and payment network. It allows anyone to send money to anyone in the world without 3rd parties or banks. Find out more here https://bitcoin.org/en/
How do I withdraw Bitcoin?
You can withdraw Bitcoin to your own wallet by clicking your balance on the homepage. You will be asked to enter your Bitcoin address and amount. A small fee will be taken to cover the miner fee when sending your Bitcoin.
What is a satoshi?
1 satoshi = 0.00000001 Bitcoin.
I joined but see no players?
We just launched the game and have been running an early access version. You will find more players in game as our advertising increases. You can help grow the community by inviting friends to play.
What is the difference between entrants and players?
Each game can have up to 100 entrants playing. If you see 25 / 100 entrants it means 25 players have joined the game so far. The players count is the number of players still alive in the game.
Why are the prizes so low?
The game is in early access mode and so the prizes are small to begin with until we get a better estimate of our income from ad revenue and costs of running the game. We will increase the prizes in the near future. Currently every time you kill a player you are rewarded 100 satoshi.
Do you plan to add entry fee games?
Yes! We will add a separate tournament mode where players can pay an entry fee to join. All fees collected will be added to a prize pool and split between the top scorers in the game.
Why should I log in?
You do not need to log in to play. However if you would like to save your stats and earn Bitcoin you must login. We need to be able to confirm you are a real person and not someone creating hundreds of different accounts to win Bitcoin. If we find users who are multi accounting then their balance will be confiscated and no pending withdrawals will be processed.
What data do you collect and what do you do with it?
When you login we get your Twitter or Facebook Id (a unique identifying account number), your display name and your email address. We don't do anything except use the Id to verify your account the next time you login so that you can see your stats or withdraw your prize Bitcoin. We may use your email address in future for promotions or contacting you in the unlikely event there is a problem with your account.
Can you post on my timeline, see friends list, read private messages or see my phone number?
We do not request access to any of this kind of data from Facebook or Twitter.
Any feedback, suggestions or bug reports would be highly appreciated.
