It's a lottery with a low max win that isn't even guaranteed with a 10% rake when a reliable service exists that charges 1%. It's like selling inferior hotdogs for $20 apiece right next to the $2 hotdogs.
If you actually want to break into the bitcoin lottery market you are going to need to do something like start out free and/or offer a compelling guarantee.
Topic: New BitcoinsUK National Lottery Sweepstake Trial. (Read 1060 times)
Don`t seem to be getting much support from my fellow Bitcoin community members.
I would really like to know why.

Does anyone have any feedback or thoughts?
Is 1BTC to high a stake?
The draw takes place live on national tv in the UK, so everyone will know the winning number and the winning member.
Remember this week the stake is only 0.1BTC and for this week only, if there is no winner all stakes will be refunded.
Do you have any concerns about taking part?
