How much is the house edge right now? As far as I know, this is exactly the same site as coindrip. I do not know if that site still exist but I think this similar site do not really attractive. I do not know why, although it has so many games but I do not know why people do not want to play this kind of faucet site. Can you tell us what is the difference with other faucet site

5% on low dust bets is too much
not sure why even bother to create a site if it is not going to be competetive in this area
if I want free money + a chance  to multiply them with an atrocious HE of 5% I would go to freebitcoin
if I want a solid dice site with 1% house edge,I have a wide variety of options to choose from: Bitsler,Primedice,Bitvest etc.
once again:if you want to stay competetive,you will have to offer something that there is not already,or do the same things but better


Yeah, that is exactly what i really want to say about, why bothering to play on new site which has exactly the same house edge as freebitco.in mean while freebitco.in offer a better way of payout, like bonus and reward points. They really want to compete with others but they never survey the market. May be dice site is really easy to make but at least they need to know about the market, what people really want to gamble on their site. They just keep on making the same idea as before and then close after that, what a wasting time

Coindrip doesnt exist anymore unfortunately but there are some more sites with exactly the same script.

make sure your HE is somewhat competetive
usually,dice is what will be making the most of your profit
so make sure your house edge is close to the industrie's standard 1%
even if that means lowering the max profit

The house edge is 5% like freebitcoin. I tried it with the 1mbtc giveaway and managed to triple it but busted eventually. I guess the house edge will stay the same and also there is no autobet feature which makes users so tired to click all the time.

The HE is actually variable. Lower the payout, higher the HE. Higher payout=lower HE. It gives people more of a chance to hit higher payouts. But if enough people want it changed, we will change it when we update the site. We will also be adding an auto bet feature when site is updated. Updates will be implemented in about 20 days

I played some dice with the giveaway but it was not a good experience at all. Every time I changed the multiplier and rolled i got an error saying that i did something wrong and then the roll didnt count either. And then the house-edge is 5% wich is really high for a dicesite!

Thanks for the feedback. Could you show us some screenshots of what exactly was the problem? We would appreciate it if you did because it helps us a lot. We are sorry that you had a bad experience on our site.

Perhaps there a chance the house edge will be reduced?

We will talk about this internally, and may be able to lower it in the site update in around ~1 month. We will likely be removing some redundant games and perhaps adding new ones. If the house edge was to be lowered it will likely come at the time of the site makeover.

We will keep you guys posted, though.

Thanks all for the feedback, really appreciated and it helps our site to grow.

Should probably make the games visible to the public even if they do not currently have an account. As someone suggested maybe have some sort of temporary account with a login url, so that people are able to use that instead of signing up. Gamblers are quite impatient.

Yes. This is something that we are currently working on, and we may be able to implement this in the upcoming makeover.

Also, how about zero confirmation deposits? THat would be a nice feature to have as well.

This could be something to be taken into consideration, however, there will be some risk in accepting 0 confirmations. However we can probably mitigate this by using the Blockcypher confidence scores. We'll take your suggestions into account.

But overall, great site. I love the snake game... The rewards are a bit on the low side, though.

Thanks. You're only going to love it even more once the site update comes in a month or so. So stay tuned Wink

Are the games you have provably fair? If yes than how we can verify it, nothing mentioned in the site about this.

Also what is maximum and minimum bet amount? You should mention all this in atleast ANN post above. Also add ssl certificate to the domain as soon as possible.

try pandadice.com looks better

Please don't spam your site on our thread, please. Plus, it does not look better, at all.

Also want to point out that the withdrawal minimum has been lowered. Lowered it from 0.01 BTC to 0.005 BTC.

Seems that bitcoin price affects the amount of the free faucet, starting from 1000 satoshi down to 100 and now 10 satoshi. I think you should learn from freebitco.in about the free faucet amount that is using $ as the main currency then converted to satoshi so user will always get the same amount in $.

The faucet is still at 100 satoshi. It was never decreased to 10 satoshi.
Some updates: First promo (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/totaldice-double-your-bet-2066445), made a few CSS changes, and the site is now SSL certified!
It doesn't seem to be secured until now, it's still http.
I've seen several sites with this script, don't know if they are still up though. Good luck! Are you maintaining the News and Forum section? It's there but the sites before weren't using it, how about you?

Is it 10 now? It was mentioned 0.000001 (100sats), can't claim and confirm because of the unreadable solve media captcha. Better if OP will be using reCAPTCHA in faucet.

The site does support https, but you would have to type it in manually. It doesn't automatically force https. I'll work on that soon. I will keep updating forums and stuff.

Bitcoin faucet- Claim 0.00001 BTC every hour!

It is not 1000 satoshi anymore, I just claimed the faucet but it gives only 100 satoshi per hour. Not really sure was it really 1000satoshi when you launch it or it is 100 satoshi since start but you made a typo on our announcement.

Yep, it's been changed from 1k satoshi to 100 satoshi per claim.

Also the payout for snake has been lowered as well.

The reasoning from admin is probably because of faucet abuse. Before the snake game was paying out upwards of 0.002 BTC per day per account, and i suspect that a lot of people just abused this opportunity. Likewise with the hourly faucet claims.

I spoke to admin, he told me that he will be updating the site soon with antibot measures. Hopefully this will make the faucet rewards go back up.

Why you should ask him for signing message from his address? I do not think they really needed, as long as they can do they payout, it is really great to see the good payout, but when he tries to scam by not sending players profit, then the site will turn out to be a scam site and no one going to play on their site for sure. This is what I believe

Anyway do you ever saw any site reall sign message from their address? Most site will never truly reveal how much balance they have

When he said that max profit per bet is 1btc, normally he should have 100btc at his wallet as the bankroll. To be honest I doubt that he owns that amount, why? If he owns that amount, he should have better site than what he use now. I think those who ask for him to sign a message is because they doubt about the bankroll like what I think.

I have about ~50 for bankroll. Would it just be better to lower the max profit then?

usually bankroll  is 50-100 times the maximum profit amount allowed
you can leave it at 1 btc,but there is a chance some random whale gets very lucky and cleans the house
on the other hand,max profit under 1 btc is not very appealing to them,they prefer sites like bitsler or primedice to play big
so you are ,probably,going to be safe

I see. I'm planning on just lowering max profit if the bankroll gets lower.

Currently working on implementing some new features and some of the suggestions given here. Will make a new post when the new updates are ready. Be on the look out because the new site is going to be sick.

make sure you run good promotions and have solid backing by your investors
and a bug free site with no problems wit hpayouts-these things are the most important for a mew site
and it is usually an uphil lbattle,there are established sites,with audience and whales
you have to be better at least at something to attract new players and have some old players switch allegiance
