Topic: LuckyBit's UEFA Euro 2016 Giveaway! > 3BTC in prizes < (Read 3279 times)

As I said: There is nothing anybody can do to dissuade you; you have convinced yourself of this so there is no point attempting to explain yet again. You are actively and willfully refusing to acknowledge the evidence on the blockchain; you have repeatedly accused me personally of scamming you; you have multiple times attempted to slander me and misrepresent my decision making process with regard to this promotion; also, you are intentionally disregarding the rules of the promotion in an attempt to get attention.


You're not fooling anyone with the alt-posting, but you did just give me even more evidence against you.

So i used my wallet and send prediction from different address.Why i didn't get any prize?

i don't think there's any obvious evidence strong enough to DQ me.I played about 2 years on your site.why i should play at your site when you're not fair with your players and when they're any problem or misunderstanding you get mad and put up the words  All decisions are final.You're talking like you don't care about single player. ok i wish you all the best and Luckybit.

 

If you wish to believe this, there is nothing anybody can say or do to dissuade you. It is obvious to me that my best efforts and most transparent operations are never going to be good enough for some people, so I will not attempt to cater to your impossible standards. I've zero interest in providing support or promotions for people that are not patrons of LuckyBit anyway; since you have stated that you're not a LuckyBit player, I'm not interested in what you have to say.

Furthermore, since you aren't a LuckyBit patron I also feel no obligation to further explain how I arrived at my conclusions or continue to discuss the circumstances of your entry. From where I'm sitting, it sounds like you're trying to leech money from my boss and getting hurt that I didn't allow it.

My entry is not related to any other transaction.Don't post a comment if you don't know what's going on.

They're just unfair with me and  i am done with playing luckybit.

LB has found convincing evidence that you have more than one entry in one or more teams which is against the rules.

One entry each on multiple teams is allowed. More than one valid entry on any team isn't.

Awesome! Received BTC0.34883721!!

Thank you stingleword, Luckyb.it and everyone involved.

Thanks LuckyBit for providing and Thanks Stingleword for making a great giveaway.

I found (with assistant verification) eight entries that were highly suspicious and removed. These entries all were found in pairs of nearly identical send groupings, some of them with matching patterns of vanity address generations. I mentioned that there was an obvious cheater, and nobody stepped forward to say anything at the time. There's been a month between then and now, with plenty of time for everyone to look and ask. Either two people chose to originate funds from the same source to an address that was used to split that amount into the same number of small coins to be sent to the same teams in the same order, four independent times for a total of eight individuals, or there is cheating.

The rules explicitly state that evidence of abuse can cause entries to be disqualified and that all decisions on this matter are final.

For what it's worth, this will be the last free-to-enter promotion I operate. All the pay ones go swimmingly, and whenever I offer something for free I catch holy hell from the people that didn't get a prize. I think I've had enough of being abused for giving away bitcoins, so please don't expect anything like this again. Or, to use the Internet vernacular, this is why we can't have nice things.

None of the disqualified entries were eligible for a refund, so that aspect is not impacted. Refunds will be eligible through July 25.

Ok I found something strange.Another person did the same thing like me he guess multiple guess from multiple address but got paid.


Unknown user predict portugal from this address 14DPhWicp6cn1Y53Ysa7b7Uy3rCPcziAg6 and this address was fund by 1M9pQhGwa4roYaUUAuFRMAWcKEu1BGzNbK.

and 1M9pQhGwa4roYaUUAuFRMAWcKEu1BGzNbK sent fund to 4 different address to predict.

I did the same thing @stingleword but you paid him but not me.why?

In that case I think we should wait for Stingleword to answer your question. He is the one in charge with this competition so he can explain the outcome .

I guessed just one team from that address and it was Portugal.

Taken straight from the rules:


You could've placed more predictions but you should've used multiple addresses. Only the most recent prediction from your address is valid. Did you place your last prediction from that address on Portugal?

This is real bad i didn't got paid !

 i used multiple address for multiple guesses !

I used this address 1XyyeEsyUqTpXFEcVk6ZzaJ9ANkRZTfgn


Tell me where i did wrong?

First You said one person can multiple guess from multiple address  so i did multiple guess from different address  but never guessed same team twice. Now you didn't paid me that's ...........

waiting for you !

Okay, all done!

Sorry about the huge delay. Real Life^TM decided to step in and give me a hassle at the most inopportune time. Payouts are sent! Before I list details, there is one important thing to note.

Not all received entries were paid. I mentioned before that I found some cheaters and it looks like the aberrant behavior is not only consistent but easily identified. Our cheater(s) attempted to enter multiple times throughout June and has had all multiple entries disqualified. Sorry, as much as I'd love to send you a share of this prize, you cheated and you get nothing. Play fair! Using a third party site as a coin clearing house does not give the appearance of honest activity, by the way, and vanity addresses are not good at disguising funds. If you didn't get paid and you didn't cheat, then you followed a pattern of behavior that gave the appearance of cheating when duplicated by others - and as far as I'm concerned, that is the same thing. If you can't play independently and transparently, then you have no business playing at all, and no you cannot have your bitcoin back.

Enough laments, on to the winners list! There are a total of 86 prize shares, so each share is 0.03488372BTC.


[PENDING] payments are waiting to be processed by the wallet provider and should appear on the blockchain within 12 hours (this post will be updated later).

Several entries sent large amounts that are still eligible for refund. Refunds will be unavailable after July 25, 2016 so be sure to contact me before then if you need to recover a sent fund. You can get me in the on-site chat between 20:00 and 04:00 six days a week, and of course my Bitcoin Talk PM box is open 24/7.

Sorry, it's technically my day off today but I do have a list of winners ready. I just want to make sure all the funds are accounted for and sent out before I post, so give me just one more day.

No winners announced after 2days?

I think the prize could be even bigger. OP said that he will invalidate some bets due to cheating attempts, so there will be higher prize per bet if thats true.
Looking forward for final list  

Cant believe how many people missed this promotion btw

Darn it, my entry was done on the 10th of June (GMT+3)!!!

who's win?

Euro just ended and Portugal just won it, Congrats to all who participated on this Luckybit's competition. As I see there are only 18 valid entries on Portugal. If my math is not too bad so the biggest prize with x10 is around 0.19btc for those who sent the entry before June 10th.
Nice winning amount for just 0.0006/entry.

I've been processing the guess history so I can publish a nonofficial list of entries by team, and I have discovered a definitive instance of cheating.

I was very liberal with the rules. I said you could guess every team if you wanted to, just don't guess the same one twice. That was all - give everyone an equal chance. I even offered to refund mistake sends or large amounts that could be costly (nobody has taken me up on this offer yet). I really wanted this to be as easy and cheap as possible, with a chance for many people to win fairly.

I'm sure you can imagine my surprise and chagrin to discover a 100% positive identification of a cheater. This individual attempted to guess the same team multiple times with multiple addresses, which is the one and only thing in the rules that is clearly and explicitly prohibited. Rest assured those guesses will not count, and the amounts are not eligible for refund (as they're invalidated). You have wasted your money and my time and will not be receiving a share of any prize.

I will also no longer be publishing the list of entries. Winning results will be announced at the end of the Euro 2016. That is all. I will not reveal more information about this situation; if you are curious, the blockchain has all the data you could require.

Please take individual inquiries about guesses and eligibility to the on-site chat rather than asking here. Thanks, and good luck.

Cool. I'll ship you a little thanks. I try to be pretty explicit, but it seems people overlook things easily. I just hate repeating myself.

lol just surfing the forum in the weekend.
Yeah the address is good. Much appreciated.

I must say the full rules state everything pretty clearly. All I did was just read it. I am still not sure if many understands this is truly a 3BTC giveaway (just as in the title) and not a betting pool or something similar with a guaranteed prize. The only real cost is the tx fee.

(edited)

It appears you're doing a better job of explaining things than I am. Is the address on your profile still good? You deserve a gold star.

If I understand correctly, there are no big and small shares. You need to make a transaction to the address for 1 share * your multiplier.

For winning team, if,
X sends 0.00006 at 10x
Y sends 0.001 at 10x
Z sends 0.0001 at 5x

and the total prize is say 10, X gets 4, Y gets 4, and Z gets 2.


To determine your share, divide your multiplier by the sum of all multipliers of the addresses that have participated in the team. (For X, 10/25 in the above example. Prize for X, 10/25 * 10 = 4)

From the original rules:


You can still get in at x5 but time is limited!

I thought 10x multiplier would be valid until 10th June not before 10 June
I would like to grab big shares with big bets. Probably the largest bet on 5 teams on this Giveaway
Let me know if I can still get a 10x multiplier then I would bet

We are down to the x5 multiplier already. I'll go over the entries and post a ledger sometime during the day today.

 this is my tx: a0caaeaf948c608795173e443ca9dc46a3fcfed99ac36995813c408489485e76

see you on chat

"An entry received from an address that has already registered will replace the previous entry. The old entry will be invalid and its multiplier will not count. You may change your guess any time up to the end of the promotion using this method."

I think so, because i think it will replace your previous guess with new one.

Same goes with one address for multiple teams? 

You most certainly can, and it will cost you 24 fees (48, if you opt for the refund).

Right...so doesn't that mean that you can automatically win or at least split grand prize by guessing all the entries right away?

From Game Rules: "Players may use multiple addresses to guess multiple teams."

Cool promo and affordable 

Isn't there any susceptibility to abuse if someone manages to use 30 addresses to pick all the teams?

lol I think I am trying hard to reduce my winning share.

Just send 0.00006 instead. Same effect as 0.01.




Here: (Zoom in if needed)

The LuckyBit Euro 2016 Giveaway ("game") starts on June 1, 2016 and runs until the closure of the UEFA Euro 2016 on July 10, 2016. No purchase is necessary to enter, but posting a Bitcoin transaction with enough fees to confirm is required. Each of the 24 teams playing in the Euro 2016 has been assigned a Bitcoin address to represent a prediction that team will win the Euro 2016 on July 10. Once the winner has been announced, all correct predictions will receive a portion of the 3 BTC prize money. The calculation for the portion is as follows:

Each winning entry will start as one share.
The number of shares for each entry is multiplied by the bonus multiplier of that entry.
The total number of shares to be distributed is equal to the total number of shares for all winning entries after step 2.
The prize money of 3 BTC is divided by the total number of shares determined in step 3 to determine one portion.
Each entry address will be sent a number of portions equal to their bonus multiplier.
Only entries sent to the address representing the winning team will be included. The multiplier for all entries begins at x10 and decreases at midnight UTC the day of the first elimination of each round. The knockout round begins on June 10, so all entries confirmed on or before June 9 will get the x10 multiplier. This multiplier becomes x5 on June 10, x3 on June 25, x2 on June 30, and x1 on July 6. For the purposes of this game, your entry is confirmed at the time the block confirming your entry is seen by LuckyBit. Only entries received prior to 00:00:00, June 10 UTC are eligible.

Only the most recent entry from an address will be valid. A participant may replace their guess with a new one at any time by simply sending another entry from the same address. Players may use multiple addresses to guess multiple teams. Using multiple addresses to guess the same team is strictly prohibited. Evidence of abuse may lead to disqualification of all suspected entries. All decisions on this matter are final.

To enter the game, send at least 0.00006 BTC to the address for your predicted winner, using a LuckyBit-compatible wallet. Entries must be confirmed on the blockchain before 00:00:00, July 10, UTC. Entry funds are refundable, under these conditions:

The entry received must have been at least 0.0002 BTC. Smaller amounts are ineligible.
Refunds are not provided automatically. The sender must request a refund by visiting LuckyBit and asking in chat.
0.0001 BTC of the received money will be consumed as return fees. No additional fees will be included for refunds.
All refunds will be processed in the same manner as prizes. A non-compatible wallet may not recognize a refund (or prize) that is sent and LuckyBit cannot control this.
Refunds do not render an entry invalid.
The teams and their game addresses are (ordered by seed, grouped by pot):

-snip- (ndnhc recommends that you copy the addresses from the original page)


Edit:

Yeah. Good luck

Too complicated to understand the rules on the website.Also the font is small and background color is hurting my eyes.Nevermind can someone explain how it works .

I have chosen to send 0.01 btc to a team that I think will win and only once.So if the same team wins,will I be a part of the prize pool ?

Cancerbola is correct.




He can still get the full amount back (minus tx fee) as refund:

So he didn't really lose anything.

Who's correct in the end ? I think you can make multiple bets from multiple addresses , but not use multiple addresses to bet on same team.
clusterfu*k in short. 

https://blockchain.info/tx/3ddf78158783e1d5a0e7f78828cac9364110bfd22248331e4f046539668193e6

Only the most recent entry from an address will be valid. A participant may replace their guess with a new one at any time by simply sending another entry from the same address. Players may use multiple addresses to guess multiple teams.

So do we have to use multiple addresses for multiple teams? If so this guy stuffed it up.

Sent 0.001 each for the top 3 teams. Hope I can win some.

Right, you've got it. Just don't try to pile up multiple guesses on the same team to double-dip the prize.

Cool promo. I love football AND winning



A bit confused there. One entering address per player, but I can enter from different addresses?

Got it! nvm. (from full Games rules:)


In doubt, can you confirm if I make two bets on different teams using two different addresses once, that are linked, that won't get me disqualified right?

Everybody loves football, right? Well, okay. Maybe not everybody. But everybody loves winning, right? Here's your chance to win up to 3BTC - and all you have to do is predict the winner. Easy! LuckyBit is proud to present...


At A Glance

Prizes: 3BTC prize pool
Entries: Free with conditions (see the full Game Rules)
Time: Today through July 10
Sponsor: LuckyBit!

How To Play: Decide which team you think will win the UEFA Euro 2016 on July 10. Find the matching address for that team in the registration chart (see Rules) and send at least 0.00006BTC to that address using a LuckyBit-compatible wallet. Don't enter by sending directly from an exchange or third-party service, you will lose your prize. Your entry coin is refundable under certain conditions; see the full Game Rules.

Bonus Multiplier: All entries are subject to a Bonus Multiplier that is determined at the time the entry transaction is confirmed on the Bitcoin blockchain. This multiplier starts at x10 for all entries received before June 10 (all dates midnight UTC); it will be x5 for all entries received after then but before June 25; x3 before June 30; x2 before July 6; all entries received on or after July 6 get no bonus. The bonus multiplier applied to your entry will apply to your share of the prize.

Changes: An entry received from an address that has already registered will replace the previous entry. The old entry will be invalid and its multiplier will not count. You may change your guess any time up to the end of the promotion using this method.

Restrictions: Limit one entering address per player per team, please. You may enter multiple team predictions from different addresses. LuckyBit reserves the right to disqualify entries based on evidence of abuse. When in doubt, don't send - ask.
