If you rush the developers, you are going to get a new system that is filled with bugs and problems because there was not enough time to beta test it and troubleshoot it as well, on top of that sometimes a code that works perfectly on many computers, could have a problem with a very old one for example, 1000 people can use it without a problem when one computer could have a huge one. So let them work, let them do whatever they want and their own time, when the time is right they will publish it for sure.
This is true, in any aspect, if you do everything in rush, something terrible will happen. Quality work takes time so if we want better service from mintdice, lets all be patient and wait for the updates. Imagine this, you aske the construction manager to finish your house in  days. In the side if the contractors, since they want to finish everything ahead of schedule, they will work for it and wait for payday to come.

The original ETA was late April but that was pushed back a month to late May / early June. Development is hard Smiley But a lot of quality progress is being made. I said it earlier but I'll try to show some of the details on here soon enough.
I think the best course of action would be sharing some sort of pictures for example? I mean surely it is your own decision to share it or not because even if you share, from now to May/June you may have some sort of changes depending on what you add or remove so if you show a picture now and then do changes the real update could look different than the picture you show and that may upset some people who really like the picture but not like the end result maybe?

So in the end, it will be your decision but I feel like showing some sort of examples of the new version in some marketing effort could be hyped about and could increase the excitement in people. Like I said, you are the owner and the creator so it will be your decision, I have never managed a casino before in my life and I could be wrong.

There is really no need to call for a 2.0 quicker because that is just putting pressure against the developers that we wouldn't want to happen. Developers are dealing with technology which is a fragile thing, every single line of code could have insane number of wrong inputs if you rush it without really doing your due diligence, so every single line of code has to be taken care of like a baby and make sure it will be proper.

If you rush the developers, you are going to get a new system that is filled with bugs and problems because there was not enough time to beta test it and troubleshoot it as well, on top of that sometimes a code that works perfectly on many computers, could have a problem with a very old one for example, 1000 people can use it without a problem when one computer could have a huge one.

^^Is there any ETA on the 2.0 version? We have heard about it for a while now and I can't wait! Cheesy. I know I have liked every single thing mintdice has done so far and when you increase the expectations like that, it is very very difficult for you guys.

Like you could make a pretty decent update and I could still be disappointing, why? Because I am expecting the worlds from you so if you do even a decent one, that wouldn't be enough to keep me happy at this point, lol. All jokes aside, your track record makes people be more hyped about a crypto casino update than needed be, I am not 100% sure whats being developed neither so I don't even know what to expect or what type of improvements there will be, so I simply just assume this awesome website was just the 1.0 and we are going to get something even more awesome, don't think any further than that.

The original ETA was late April but that was pushed back a month to late May / early June. Development is hard Smiley But a lot of quality progress is being made. I said it earlier but I'll try to show some of the details on here soon enough.

Thanks for the interest and kind words Barbara.

I honestly think that mintdice doesn't seem to update their system because we do not understand when they do something and when they don't. I mean a regular visitor could never know how they are trying to stop a person from doing that aformentioned ip switch for a bot that abuses the faucet, that is not something you can clearly "see" with your own eyes, plus website doesn't have to go offline in order to make that kind of improvements, it could be back to back implements from a test server which takes like couple seconds at most. They already said they are winning the battle already so there is no point on assuming they are still forced to improve, if they are winning then they could just let it be and it would be the end of it since there is no more enemy.
You are right that casinos can update even without going offline but if it is needed, then they have to do preventive measure by going offline for the updates.
As mentioned, they are already on the upcoming update of 2.0 so basically all of the questions you have will be answered once the update is done.

Is there any way to verify the fairness of your bets on this site?

I've scrolled through the site and can't find any way to directly verify the betting seeds.

Also, what's the house edge here?


On our FAQ you can see the repos anywhere, for example, dice:
https://mintdice.com/faq/casino-games/dice/where-can-i-verify-my-results/
On that link you'll find a link to this:
https://jsfiddle.net/MintDice/hz7x6r42/

We'll improve this on the 2.0 update to make it more visible.

As far as the house edge, it is 1-2% depending on the game type.

 You guys are forgetting the fact that a person can do this multiple times every single day via an automatic bot. I mean we are not talking about someone dealing with this by hand, he probably just gets a small machine like rasberry or whatever and he puts the bot in there and let the machine do the work. So it doesn't really take any time for that person, he doesn't even have to check, all he has to do is build a bot that will do whatever it takes to make money and if it ever reaches a point that it can withdraw, it just sends it to his wallet, so he literally never has to even look at it as long as it really works. Sure maybe he doesn't achieve what he wants and I hope he never achieves it (from what mintdice mentioned they don't achieve it) but it's definitely not taking that much time after the first build is made.

I completely see your point but even if someone was to aim for such a high level abuse then don't you think that maybe this can be monitored from the casino's side. Like only allow withdrawals from deposits or wins. This of course will require regulation from within about where each player's money is coming from but I feel that perhaps the best solution is to tackle it from within. It won't be cheap though it will deal with all of these problems once and for all
It has been a common thing for years from the scammers or basically anyone who makes money in any way that is against the rules to "play stupid" and try to get their money back.

I remember few months ago (or maybe over a year now, I can't remember) there was an account that kept on asking for his money back that he lost because "his kid gambled, and not him" from another casino. That was literally the explanation for it, dude literally said he wasn't responsible for the loss because it was his kid that lost the money and not him, so in theory on his mind that meant equal to someone else gambling from his account like a hacked account since he wasn't the one gambling from his own account. That is literally the level people are willing to go down to make their money back.

Do you have any logs regarding the total payout, and estimated payout amounts for investors?

I've scrolled through the site, but can't seem to find it.

I'm talking about something like this, ideally available somewhere on the site: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/archived-profit-tracking-2445163

Thanks!


We don't have any published logs for investor payout. Given the rather large size of our investor bankroll and relatively small gambling volume, our investor payouts are not very impressive for the time being. We hope to change this with our upcoming game launches which we hope will drive more traffic to the website. With more gambling turnover, we could start a thread or log which updates investors with historical incomes.

creating account for what . to farm faucet ? that still useless imo because the amount that they can claim is not going to be worth it to gamble . they will only loose this before making it big .  increasing the wd threshold can also be a fix to these so that abusers will having a hard time to grind using free money  . besides if they really want to go here just to use the faucet , why not try the actual faucet  . actual faucets dont have restrictions  . they can claim unlimitedly aswell   .
You need to complete faucet task for 1000+ times to reach minimum withdrawal time even if you do there won't be anything left out after the transaction fee got paid but in gambling they can directly gamble with that claimed amount so they can have chances of multiplying and can withdraw it with no restrictions.So which is simple for the abusers?
The will to try and take advantages are always inside the minds of abusers, to whatever extent they are trying to compensate if the chance
is there for sure they will do the best that they can. It's tough since the site have restrictions but taking chances and finding some luck gives
gamblers desire to take the risk and efforts.
Most of multi account abusers will get caught at the time of withdrawals and in mintdice transactions are approved manually so chances ae less here for abusers.

As per my experience, all my withdrawals were processed instantly as I got it almost in less than a minute. How could you say that all withdrawals are approved manually? Afaik it was, but it is not approved manually since some time ago. Abusers do not care about how the withdrawal will be processed, they will only care about the chance of making money without spending any money then they will always try.

Withdrawals are not all created equal. There are many checks that are done automatically to determine whether or not to send them to automatic processing or manual. If you are being processed automatically each time, it probably is probably because our machine likes you Smiley

Faucet abuse, however, would lead someone to manual queue for example.

Where can I find the provably fair tab? When I clicked on someone else's bet, it showed the verification. However, there is no way I can set my own client seed. How do I know this provably fair system is fair if I can't even set my own client seed? The server can easily make up results and fake a client seed that I couldn't even choose. I looked on their help pages, and they provided an open source verification program. But then again, if the server can invent any client seed then the program does no good.

If you can't set your own client seed then the game is NOT provably fair.

You can change your client seed under the provably fair tab under your account settings.

As far as visibility goes, we posted this a while back but it could be implemented better (and it will be), but we do have everything posted.

Do we know the investors say in this? I don't know if the faucet is given away from the investors money or the casinos own money so I can't really say anything specific about it.

However, if it is just the casinos money then it would be obvious that casino itself will find a way anyway, they are currently saying they are winning against the abusers so there is nothing to worry about and they are actually doing the right thing for themselves, if they are the ones paying for it, why would we worry about it, they will definitely find the correct way. But if the investors are paying for it, a bit of things change in that scenario, maybe there could be some sort of referendum where investors could decide what should be done about it since it is their money involved.

This was asked earlier and the investors to not fund the faucet, MintDice does. The investors only profit or lose from the actions of gamblers with the casino games, so they have nothing to worry about from this angle.


The real surprising thing here is that, if a person is capable of doing something like this for a faucet, how much developing skill does he have that goes unused? I mean we are talking about a guy who built a software that tries the faucet automatically, then if he busts switches the account and IP/VPN to try another account and continues as long as possible until he actually abuses the faucet, now that is some software developing skills right there, I personally wouldn't know how to do that and I have been a web developer for years! So we are talking about a guy who could use these kinds of skills he has on something much more productive instead of destructive and could make a decent amount of money, yet he uses his powers for evil and not for good, which is shocking.

I largely agree with this. Sometimes doing stupid things like this I just wonder why not spend your time being productive. But it doesn't matter what actually makes sense since the problem does in fact exist.



The best way to stop the faucet abusers is to give the faucet only when the balance is NIL. In this way, a person cannot claim another faucet unless he has lost all the faucet amount in gambling and of course there is no way to withdraw the tiny faucet amount.

Not as simple as that, in fact most faucet on gambling sites are able to be claimed once user's balance is Zero but still there are many people who tried to abuse it.
Faucet abusers will keep on claiming the faucet only with no intentions to do real gambling by making deposit. Once they claim the faucet, they will use it to play, if lose then they will come back again.
They can create many accounts for faucet especially if the amount of the faucet is good enough. That's what we call with faucet abusers.

Don't let faucet abusers to withdraw, problem solved. Only allow to withdraw if the player deposited and wagered the same coins. The other way to fight abusers is, making the claim amount so little so it will be impossible to make big money. (like 1 satoshi) I don't see any other way.

Not letting them withdraw is easier said than done. And it's always better to stop the problem at the source if possible.

Provably there are cases that it is manually approved especially if the addressed used for withdrawal has been tag by the management as abuser that's why we can see him up encountering this issue on his account. So if anyone has been caught abusing this act maybe it's best not to post some claims since for sure you will still caught by the devs and it will be a waste of time for people who do this.
We have also seen (not just here but in gambling industry in general) people who happen to just abuse and win and also claim their win even tho the management declined it. They get banned and they do not get their money that they shouldn't get anyway and then they come here and write to topics of casinos about how they actually won and didn't get their money.

Casinos in return just shows or simply says that they have broken the rules and that turns into a whole discussion about how the abuser claims he was right and nothing wrong was done. It usually happens when they have multi-accounts and they claim "my father has one account as well" or some other relative usually the wife, which is not acceptable, your father can have their own accounts but not on the same computer, it is literally against the rules, one ip = one account.

Generally the way most casinos who had faucets in the past or who still have faucets now, they usually don't lock faucet abuser accounts UNLESS they attempt a withdraw. This is why a year back when many sites started to do this, many "newbie" accounts on Bitcointalk started to complain that they gambled for "hours or days" then tried to attempt a withdraw and the withdraw was declined.

I think this is a strategy that they do, so people don't even try and abuse the faucet because it takes "hours or days" to generate enough BTC to make min. withdraw which might actually never be transacted. Since they started to do this many of the faucet abuse actually declined.

Yes I know its not nice to "waste faucet abusers time" but if they automatically banned faucet abusers accounts at the beginning then they might actually ban someone who actually was legitimately using the faucet and would later do a real deposit.

Yeah, they already mentioned that they are capable of stopping and the past few months it looks like abusers stopped or at least gave up. So, it shows that even the most advanced and high end abusers will eventually meet their fate because it will be stopped, maybe it will hurt the business along the way but it can't go on forever, nothing against the ToS can continue forever. Hell even hackers can hack a place and steal all their money just once, after they are caught it will be end of it and would be stopped and never get the same style of hacking again and fixed.

So, they can continue to try their best, the results will always be the same, maaaybe they will get lucky a few times but in the end whatever method they were doing will be caught and fixed making their job harder.
