Title: The Bitcoin Wheel - Real Time & Fully Automated Social Gambling Site
Post by: cold on July 13, 2011, 06:16:08 PM
The Bitcoin Wheel (https://www.thebitcoinwheel.com) is a fully automated gambling website where you and your friends can get together and play at the same time. Written with Node.JS (http://nodejs.org/) and fully open sourced (https://github.com/BCCasino/BCCasino) we aim to have 100% transparency with you, the player. Furthermore each spin is hashed before any betting occurs and that same hash is shown to you the whole time so there is absolutely no way any rigging could take place.

So what are you waiting for? Stop wasting your time with those repetitive untrustworthy pyramid schemes and head on over to The Bitcoin Wheel (https://www.thebitcoinwheel.com) where gambling is fun again. By the way, there's no waiting for confirmations, deposit and you can play instantly.

Great looking game, played a dime, I love the low minimum bet, let me play for as long as I wanted!

Wish the ready button was working though.

To cash out you must have a confirmed balance (either from winning or waiting for your deposit to get to 6 confirms.  This is covered in the faq, once the confirmed balance is >0 the withdraw button will appear.  There are no transaction fees to withdraw, we cover them.

We will look into tracking winnings but its a bit tricky as we dont use a sql database, its all stored in the bitcoin client.

Thanks for your input!

I believe the major issues are resolved, I'm sure more will crop up but between work and real life we will do our best to get them fixed.

Please let us know what you think!

Also one last thing, the confirmed balance is the amount of btc in your account that has reached the 6/confirmed state on the bitcoin network, we require this to be able to withdraw the bitcoins.  Unconfirmed is what has been received, you can play with these bitcoins immediately, and doing so may trade with the bank and end up getting your balance confirmed quicker in some cases.

If you are done playing and still have unconfirmed BTC you can either come back later, or you have to wait until the bitcons become confirmed which can take between 5 minutes and 2 hours depending on their current state.

It tells you that you have lost in the chat before it finishes spinning :-\

yep, the spin is just a CSS transition, I could delay the message easily enough...  Thanks for the idea.

I didn't see it spin at all. It just suddenly switched to a new position, and the number shown on the wheel didn't match the one announced in the chat. (Browser: Firefox 3.6.17).
