We are happy to announce that the raffle reward has been raised to $500 in BTC!

This is made possible by our new partnership with Dapp Casino (https://dappcasino.io/). Dapp Casino is a specialized platform focusing on the evaluation and ranking of decentralized gambling establishments. The bigger prize will hopefully boost survey participation. This partnership does not impact the content or integrity of this research project.

Congrats on finding a sponsor, op!

BTW, what do you think of splitting the prize pool so more people could win? I think this can be attractive as well since folks will have more chances to win a spot. TBH, even 100 bucks is a pretty sweet deal to me.

You could divide the prize pool equally based on the number of winning spots you want or have a tiered winners where prizes descends e.g. 1st place, 2nd place, etc.

The raffle draw will happen on 4th of April, 2024. Responses that come after 4th of April 18:00 (GMT) will not be added to the draw.

We have a simpler draw process too. The draw will be conducted using Bitcoindata Science giveaway manager. The old survey participants will be automatically entered in the draw using their given Bitcoin address.

Hello.

I am happy to see this tool is going to be used.

For transparency, it is very important that you share the participants list with the target block before it gets mined, so everyone knows it is a fair raffle.

I will fill to the form and try to participate too!

Cheers!

What a nice timing lol, and maybe it'll increase more in value in the coming days 😏 I hope you get more people in, and good luck to everyone joining!

I'm guessing there is a minimum number of target surveys, May I ask how far are we from this? or perhaps you can tell if the team is halfway there?

We are halfway to the minimum number of responses we would be happy with ourselves. If we reach the minimum response thresh hold by mid-March, we will do the draw in mid-March. If not, then we will postpone it by 1.5 weeks.

UPDATE:

The raffle draw will happen on 4th of April, 2024. Responses that come after 4th of April 18:00 (GMT) will not be added to the draw. We have extended the survey by a few days due to the low response rate and the increase in prize money.

Upon checking the escrow Bitcoin address, there is 0.00122738 BTC which is almost $70 now. Just wow! The Bitcoin price has almost doubled in a very short time. My question is, Is $60 the only estimated prize or does it include the entire Bitcoin in the Bitcoin escrow address including the transaction fee?
Exactly as Potato Chips said, the winner will receive 0.00122738 BTC minus any transaction fees after the draw.
(Everything on the Bitcoin escrow address - the transaction fees = Final Award).

Ahahaha at this point, it might be a good idea to just add the prize in satoshi or "1 mbtc+".

Perhaps after the next surge Cheesy


and thanks! I must've missed the date. I'd be a good idea to add it on the first post of the raffle thread as well.
Adding it.

If you backread they said the raffle draw would be in the middle or end of March but as far as I know, they didn't mention if there is a minimum number of surveys they need.

BTW I believe this answers your question:

Hi i just want to ask when will be the raffle draw of this giveaway: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5483224.0;all


It looks like the OP of that giveaway is incomplete. You didn't include the draw date for the winner. It's already been two weeks since you posted it.


https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.63640270

OP said the will do the draw in March, middle or at the end of that month.

UPDATED DRAW DATE:

The raffle draw will happen on 4th of April, 2024. Responses that come after 4th of April 18:00 (GMT) will not be added to the draw. We have extended the survey by a few days due to the low response rate and the increase in prize money.


What are some other places besides Bitcointalk forum where we should share the survey?
I believe because the survey is for educational purposes, OP should share it in the Development And Technical Discussion forum.

We were under the impression that you can't repost under multiple boards (except translations).

I would recommend going through the social media channels of the cryptocurrency gambling websites. Perhaps work together with said casinos? I am sure they would love the free PR.

Decentralized gambling is not really a big thing yet. Nor is there any real decentralized gambling yet, as far as I know. As long as there is a centralized control, whether for freezing funds, denying wins, etc. there will only be casinos decentralized in name only.

Kind of like the Binance Blockchain. Sure, it is technically decentralized but the decentralization is so low (there are too few nodes/validators) that it is technically centralized and under the control of Binance and its partners.

And that is exactly how I see the current fad of Web3 gambling.

Probably there OP would know the actual difference between real decentralized services built on top'of the blockchain like Satosh Dice and I forgot the name the other one, for gambling in sports.

That was also a real on-chain gambling service using the Bitcoin blockchain.

Sadly, none of the gambling websites/casinos we contacted allowed us to share our survey on their media channels (such as Discord servers, etc.). If there are some people here who have their own communities where we could distribute this survey, please make a post or send us a message. We would be happy to work together with you.

There is a deadline for the draw ? Huh

We are currently translating the survey into more languages. We plan to do the draw in mid to late March (the exact date depends on how many responses we get).

It is nice to see that the gambling industry is getting recognition globally coupled with the fact that the education sector is conducting a survey which invariably means that a research is going on about the Crypto online gambling as the topic of the thread says. I will commend your efforts because I know what it takes to get to this point of research when it ha to do with students involved in such a research. Giving you an honest answer or reply is of utmost importance to your research as that would help you get proper data as it relates to the objectives of your research. I will be of help to take part in your survey.

By the way, I have a few questions:
Is the survey available in multiple languages to reach a broader audience?
The survey is now available in Russian! We hope that there are no mistakes, but if there are, let us know and we will change them immediately. We plan to add some other languages popular in this forum later on.

You can change the language like this:

I don't think that you need some changes for the questions that you've given after all you said that they can skip on what they think that they can't answer right which means that you don't have to change a thing or two about, the best way to move forward would be to increase the amount of questions rather than reducing them right? That's more appropriate in my opinion plus you're going to make you data more precise since you've got more questions right? Or you can't do it because there's a problem if you add more questions?

There’s 2 things at play here. A smaller one is that the shorter the survey is, the more likely people are to finish it. That’s just how it is, and we need volume right now. But more importantly for the questions we’re trying to answer this amount is sufficient. Our goal isn’t to find out everything there is about decentralised gambling. The leaner and more focused we are, the better.

Join us in shaping the future of decentralized gambling!

We really respect your insights, as the more responses we get, the more qualitative our analysis will be.
If you wish to help us out, please engage with this post (ask questions or give suggestions), to keep this post more relevant.


OP, for true and actual decentralized/on-chain gambling, I suggest doing your research on SatoshiDice. It was one of the truest forms of "Bitcoin on-chain" gambling services that was built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. There was also a service for sports-betting that was truly on-chain. That will be a good starting point for your research as well.

Real on-chain betting will change how people interact and gamble in the internet, and their behavior on how they value and use Bitcoin. It will be an actual understanding of censorship-resistance and how regulations over decentralized systems will be impractical and ineffective.
