The site disappeared over xmas for a day or so, but it appears to be back up again, and technically functional. The only issue is the hot wallet is never being refilled and currently has only 0.0015 BTC which you'd have to pay a fee of 0.001 on top if you wanted to withdraw it.
I've been monitoring it weekly and attempting to withdraw each time. It's not looking positive and I've pretty much written it off as a loss.
The Bet on the House amount shown on the site has been fluctuating, and I do believe those funds do exist in a wallet somewhere although this is a different store of funds than cold storage. Most notably around mid Nov the figure dropped by 10 to 22.30490452 it's now at 21.08235864. These movements could just be the result of people like you and I moving their funds out of the Bet on the House in preparation to withdraw, which they then realised they couldn't do.
There appears to be a small amount of bet activity happening, last bet was 19 days ago for small change. The only way the site is currently making money is as a honey trap as new unsuspecting users join up and add funds.
When the site went down, I expected that was it, however the fact it came back means someone is still looking after it it seems.
Weird how you just replied as I was about to update saying the site is back online! Haha! Ive been doing a lot of research over the past few days trying to figure out ownership etc to try find some other channels of contact should the site and the email server go down again. I had already written off my funds also but like you say, theres a slight hope considering someone must be doing something with the site with it coming back up after a while.
It seems that none of the slot games are able to connect on my end, gets a wallet error message after loading; I have not tried to place a small bet on the dice to test that functionality but I assume that may also be offline to a degree. I have also looked at the stats, it seems like some bets have been placed recently but nothing over the past two days since its been back online.
I've had no responses from the support email but it's definitely accepting mail currently, going to send another soon and try make the subject stand out to grab attention if the inbox happens to get glanced at maybe? We'll see haha!
Megadice is a scam, all are advised to read through this thread and take note.
I've read through the entire thread, its certainly all very worrying, it seems Megadice are in trouble and the case involving Newalias has many red flags that should be reviewed by a credible third party with legal standing and resolved, 100%!
I've had some coins in there since the Satoshi days and just rolled with the rebrand without keeping up on current events, assuming it'd all be fine, deffo a screw up on my part but we learn which is important! I'll try and pursue this as much as I can because, it would be a nice late crimbo pressie (haha) if we can get some cooperation from Megadice to release more investor funds
