Thanks for the free lottery, it's always nice when you can get something for nothing
Glad you're enjoying it!
The
Free Crypto Lotto is intended as a risk-free and easy way for players to check out the lottery platform and play for a chance at a decent win (1BTC jackpot) without needing to deposit any of their own funds. Those that enjoy the platform might well become valued contributors and/or give some of the paid games a try. Both the
People's One Lotto and
Revolution Lotto offer much higher jackpots, and much higher payouts for hitting 2 or more balls (
Revolution Lotto pays DOUBLE your money for matching just 2 balls for example)
And the fact you can win something by matching only 2 balls makes you better than national lottery in my country where you have to match min. 3.
Yes, our aim has always been to build a much better-returning game than any of the existing lotteries out there (can't get much better than 100% return
). 8BET games return 100% compared to around 50% for some of the best known lotteries in the world. We've blogged about
why we think gambling today is flawed if you're interested in the background.
Just did a quick back-of-napkin calculation on
8BET.io vs your national lottery (assuming same number of picks/balls) - with 8BET paying from matching 2 balls, your odds of hitting at least some prize in any 5 tickets bought would be about
56%, so better than a coin toss. This drops right down to odds of under
9% for the minimum 3-match model of your national lottery, over the same 5 tickets.
I just found one little bug: when changing password you aren't asked for current password
Thank you for the feedback, yes this is on our to-do list, we'll take care of it soon.
Just a note that there are other measures of protection (such as email verification of all withdrawals) even if someone did manage to access your device while you were logged in and changed the password - but your point is totally valid and we are aware of an planning to address it soon.
Or maybe two... I don't remember being asked to verify my e-mail when registering my account, but verification e-mail showed up in my inbox, which was little surprise. But as I said: I don't remember such message, it doesn't mean there wasn't one, maybe I just missed one.
Ah, 8BET don't actually stop you during registration to ask you to verify your email address like some systems you might be accustomed to. However, as email verification is used to confirm any withdrawals you make, the system preemptively verifies email immediately after registration, so as to avoid any unnecessary delays later when you want to withdraw, in case there was an issue with your registered email. You didn't miss the message, the intention was just to avoid interrupting you during registration.
