an additional 0.5% goes into a progressive bonus jackpot game called "satoshis111" which has 111 players instead of 11 and you can achieve positive expected value because of the bonus!!!

This is an obviously false statement.  The jackpot is paid by a 0.5% reduction in the "normal" payout.  The game is negative expectation.  Then again all gambling games with house advantage are negative expectation.  You don't need to lie or mislead customers, people using the site are expecting to gamble not invest. Wink



no its not if you play only Satoshis111

the bonus bets play with only 25% winning chance compared to normal bets
its possible to achieve (small) positive EV if the bonus is big enough

the first game (Satoshis11) has always a small negative EV, that is true

i should have mentioned this, will add this to the FAQ

Great website, what's the secret keys about?

these keys make it impossible to cheat, i explained it in the faq

So the secret key id shown on the front page is the reference to the precomputed random characters used to seleect the winner. which is shown 24 hours after the draw?

yes Smiley

the published keys are at http://satoshiseleven.com/?lang=en&goto=hashkeys
i published the hashes of the precomputed keys (for the next 10 Years) here: https://raw.github.com/sat11/sat11_keyhashes/master/README.md
first number is the id, then the sha512 hash of the secret key and then the time interval of the particular key

Wishing you the best of luck in your endeavor.

I like the idea of games that can only be done with Bitcoin's protocol in terms of verifiability.
