Hi, I've just noticed that my site is unavailable right now, it just gives a 403 error. It seems that all sites hosted by my webhost are affected. The Bitcoins you've deposited on my site are safe! They are stored on a physically different server and are not accessible to whoever delete the website. Even if they were, only a small fraction are stored on the other server. Most of the coins are stored offline (that's why withdraws of larger amounts take longer, I have to manually acknowledge them).

Again: no need to worry, your Bitcoins are not lost!

I will try to investigate with the webhost that happened and will bring the site back up. I've just became a father and have different plans with my (soon-to-be) fiancee, so please bear with me when I have to tell you that I cannot bring the site back up until next week. I will add 10% to everyone's deposit there, though.

But, maybe: if my hoster finds the cause, maybe he will restore the site. But until I post again in this thread I won't have checked if everything is working fine again.

Thanks for your understanding!

Hey, any ETA on the update? I'm waiting especially for the option to split hands... that'd surely increase my winnings Grin

Ok, I see that the withdraw worked now!

You're right about the error message. I've changed it to look less fishy and tell people they don't need to worry and just try again. Sorry for being harsh on you, but I feared you were just another guy trying to miscredit me. Friends?  Smiley

I see the 7 bitcoins are there Just understand that when I try to withdraw and I see an error that looks incredibly fishy, I think you can agree with that if you were in my spot.

I will absolutely vouch and even recommend this to people when it works.

Side note* will the ability to split ever be added?

*sigh* I wonder how many people have to post here saying my site is legit, before people who are having issues stop shouting I was scamming Roll Eyes

Ampix0, you've bet 1 BTC and won 7 BTC. You should be happy about your luck! When you withdrew there indeed was an error, the site couldn't reach my bitcoind instance (which is for security reasons not on the same server, so your coins are safe). If you have a look at my site you'll see that you still have the 7 BTC in your account. Please just try withdrawing again.

The transaction has cleared some minutes ago and you can play  Smiley

You can check the status of your transaction at www.blockexplorer.com/address/[your_address]. If it has 1 confirmation there, it should also be verified at my site.

Isn't the player supposed to win when the dealer and the player get blackjack?
No, sorry, this is really a tie.

But: if you win with a Blackjack and the dealer has none, you don't just get 2.0 times your bet, but 2.5 times Cool

If you have further questions feel free to email me at DrKenobi at i2pmail.org, I'm glad to help!

Wow! Where have you been playing? I would love to have those kinds of odds. Unfortunately, every place I play this is called a push/tie.

I've given this link to quite some people via email but thought it would be worthwhile to also make it public here:

http://btcjack.1btchost.com/stats.php

This URL gives you a live statistic over my system. Right now, its output is:

Quote
total number of games played: 47894
games lost: 23407 (49%)
games tie: 3951 (8%)
games won: 20536 (43%); of which with blackjack: 2143 (4%)

that means if you'd bet 1 BTC, on average you'd get back: 0.97 BTC

I permanently monitor my system to make sure I'm not unknowingly "cheating" (e.g. due to software bugs) and neither are the players. The 0.97% quote looks good to me. Given that there a A LOT of players who play non-optimal (not to say "bad"), like hitting on a 19 or staying at a 13, this should look equally good for you players. Especially if you consider that I pay out 2.5 times your bet on a BlackJack Grin

Thanks for your trust in me and my site! And please keep sending me emails, I love reading them Smiley

Bye, DrKenobi

Thank you DrKenobi. That lucky person was probably me. I made a few withdrawls  Grin Hit a pretty lucky double down for 11btc. Now if only you could split cards would be the perfect running blackjack game! Sorry you probably awoke and saw you took quite a hit overnight I will likely donate some back.
