Here is honest review:
~snip~

Might wanna post your "honest review" in the official thread rather than here.
It's kinda secondary what you think about the site to it being down or up, hence I'd consider reviews off-topic for this specific thread.

Here is honest review:

Pro:
Site exists for 2 years and haven't skipped town yet.
Decent betting volume.
Decent amount of marketing effort.

Cons:
Site is slow (just compare to just-dice.com).
Graphics design is poor.
Owners are deeply anonymous, no one knows their real identities, therefore can skip town at any moment.

it seems like multiple Bitcoin related sites have been under DDOS and being blackmailed to make it stop.

I'm not aware of any requests for ransom. It seems there are other motives behind it, if any.

Quote from: eternalgloom on September 30, 2016, 10:04:48 AM

I hope they will just give up after a few days

The attack already slowed down.

Quote from: eternalgloom on September 30, 2016, 10:04:48 AM

I do hope that you can get these DDOS attacks sorted out soon, still having trouble connecting to the website.
Even on a different computer/connection, still going really slow.

We're about to roll out an update with a few adjustments and improvements, maybe that helps.
As I can see, things are back to normal for most users, sorry to hear you'Re amongst the few which still have troubles to cope up with.

Seems to be working fine now, might have been my internet connection that was causing it.
And that's strange that they're not asking for any ransom, what's the point of doing a DDOS then?

Maybe competition, but yeah best not go full conspiracy mode here..

Just saw some people complain about it on the Bitcoin Reddit :-/

Everything in my review is still valid to this day, except that I haven't included some of the new alt-coins they accept.

Let's take a look at your review: https://thebitcoinstrip.com/crypto-games.html

Quote

Crypto-games.net is a casino offering two games: Dice and Slots

We're currently offering 5 games: Dice, Slots, Blackjack, Roulette & a Lottery

Quote

available in four different cryptocurrencies,

The number is seven

Quote

Absurdly, the last altcoin added is the widely unknown DarkGold

Nope, DarkGold is not featured anymore. There's Ethereum that was last added, wouldn't call it "widely unknown".

Quote

Dice is the normal dice you see everywhere. The house edge is a low 1%

That's wrong, the house edge on dice is 0.8%

Quote

Although exact stats aren’t shown

Wrong again, stats are public for everyone to have a look.

Quote

In one roll, no more than 0.1 Bitcoins can be won

The maximum win on bitcoin currently sits at 3BTC

Quote

being able to win only 6 LTC, 70K Doge, or 70 DarkGold.

It's 10 LTC & 300K Doge

Quote

The fact that an advertisement is shown on the front page explains a lot for itself

Where exactly would that ad be?

And that's only the quick things I've found.

So only a few unimportant details?

They added a few more alt-coins? Cool.
Some more games than the ones I reviewed? Cool.
House edge is off by 0.2%? OK.
Maximum win raised from a tiny 0.1 BTC to a tiny 3 BTC? Sure. It actually says the max profits (and all their other stats) on the top of the page (updated automatically).

The gist of the review is still valid: Crypto-Games is a crappy website that should not be trusted.

At least you wrote name right Grin

i visited your site and honestly, your review about crypto-games best describes your site and it is obvious that your review is bias

What's the bias and what is my motive to publish a "false" bad review about a casino? I genuinely thought it was a bad, untrustworthy casino and felt it would be unethical to give it a recommendation.

I understand opinions differ though. You are free to like it, and you're free to gamble there -- but I'm also free to publish my own opinion of the site.

Oh, I remember you. You were the one who conducted an "Exclusive Interview" with the so-called "Huffle-Puff". Wow. Shocked

"An Interview With A Bitcoin Hacker"

And now, as I see it, you make a shitty comment where readers would become curious about the "issues", they visit your site, read your whole "review" (as some of us did). Hmm. Waaaay to advertise and create some traffic huh. Quite ingenious. Roll Eyes

I don't know about your motives or why the bias but, in my book, you certainly don't have the credibility for your "reviews" to be taken seriously, especially with this "Huffle-Puff Interview" . Haha. What a laugh. whatever.

If you really think listing a wrong house edge is an "unimportant detail" you shouldn't be reviewing any casino, ever.

whenever you want to check the up or down status of a website you visit, first check and online service like "isitdownrightnow.com" to make sure it is not just your problem. if the site says it is up then read more at the bottom of the page how to fix the problem.

Seems very unreliable to be tbf. Checked it earlier a few times and the "status" didn't quite fit the actual status of the site.
Not sure if they can handle sites utilizing cloudflare.

well, it is not a perfect system but it is decent.
besides I think you visited after the DDoS or after they came back online. if you check it right now you see that there is a part where it says "Last Down" and it is showing "20 hours 13 mins ago" as of the time of this comment.
also I should add that even during a DDoS a site may not go 100% down. depending on the size of the attack it can only be slowed down (may not be the case here though)

I think some of the information in the review is a bit outdated though -- we have hundreds to get through, so I'm sure you can understand.

If you "don't have the time" to correct obvious mistakes, aswell as outdated information, in over a year, maybe you shouldn't be running a site in the first place?

Why did you quote me on something I never said. Lol.

I've been to the site recently too. It's still ugly and broken as hell. Everything in my review is still valid to this day, except that I haven't included some of the new alt-coins they accept. It's still gross, untrustworthy, poorly funded, non-innovative, etc.

I wouldn't go near it.

It's just horrible in general. The looks, the financials, the countless spelling mistakes. You can just tell it's made by someone who is either incompetent or just doesn't care.

That pretty much describes your site Cheesy

Really? What don't you like about it?

Oh, that was sarcasm. Have never solicited, or ever received, payment in exchange for a positive review. I think some of the information in the review is a bit outdated though -- we have hundreds to get through, so I'm sure you can understand.

There are so many better options. And the owner is a child.
