The interface is simple yet clean and neat. Im giving a rating of 7 ouf ot 10.

But in reality, people are not much interested anymore in lottery since the chances is really low. Plus the fact that your lottery ticket amount can now be considered as valuable because of the current bitcoin price. But hey if there are only people joined the current draw then they have higher chance to win if they send many entries. The questioned here now is the legitimacy of the draw.

Well then, goodluck to your site and development.

Some webdesign could help but is not essential in my opinion. I normal don't participate in lotteries because I don't trust them that much. So here are my two cents:

- Making the prize pool visible
- Showing a payout structure (how many prizes are paid, does it depends on the number of tickets sold, what are the odds for each prize)
- How can we verify that the draw was fair?
- You could create an account area, so users could easily see and manage the tickets they've bought. The history of prizes they won and tickets they bought etc

Good luck.

When I open your site the whole Header I see is: WELCOME TO THE BITCOIN LOTTERY.

Instead I want to see:

- Jackpot
- Participiants
- Time to next draw

Also, fix your title: thebtclottery - it's not very attractive.

Well, usually people are against lotteries because of the house edge, and since yours is 1% it seems you might have solved the problem.

the website looks clean-cut! nothing special ,if in-fact they maintain a valid reputation in time they do have a chance to make a change as they are making only 1% off the entire thing! but it rests to be seen in the weeks ahead if they will have enough to live on and thrive?

Firstly, Chrome block your site. Update your SSL.
And for the users to trust, you should add an option/way to prove the fairness of the result. i.e. Provably fair.

There are many things which should be improved in your site like user interface, bitpay or any third party merchant tool integration to accept bitcoin, price per ticket should be fixed in fiat rather than in bitcoin. You should also explain how you gonna select winners in provably fair and transparent manner.

There is already a trueflip.io which have collected lots of bitcoin during ICO so I think it will be hard for you to exist in bitcoin lottery niche.

Most of the Bitcoin lottery sites don't really take off. Reason being is that most people would simply rather do a 9900x bet on dice and know right away if they've hit the lottery rather than having to wait to see the result.

Lotteries are generally best for physical items such as Houses, Cars, Phones, etc and for charitable funds.

However good luck to you and your new site.

I would say that this is the fact of the matter for lottery games. The chances of winning lotteries are really slim compared to just playing gambling games at their highest multiplier. I haven't seen a bitcoin lottery that progressed to be one of the most competitive gambling site all over the world. Most of them just die, though maybe OP can offer something different and be able to survive, who knows.
