Hello Bitcoin community, I've been working on this project for some time and feel that it is ready enough to open up for some beta testing.

Introduction
At BTCade you can win Bitcoin by playing arcade classics such as Pacman, Snake, Frogger, Tetris, and much more.

Arcade Mode
In arcade mode you are able to purchase game tokens for each of the games we have available.  Every time someone purchases a token, money is added to that game's Jackpot Pool.  Once you own a token you are able to use it to play that game and try to set the highscore.  If you are able to set first, second or third place you are rewarded a portion of the jackpot.

Versus Mode
In versus mode you are able to create either public or private matches, if you are creating the match, you get to define a wager that your opponent must match in order to compete with you.  If you create a public match it gets listed on the site for anyone to accept.  Private matches allow you to challenge your friends or enemies you acquire.

Leaderboards
See how you rank compared to the rest of the site, try to climb the rankings and become one of the overall top players.

The Future
I have a lot of plans for the project depending on the response.  Currently we are in early beta testing and are asking users to work with us in tracking down any bugs/issues we have missed.

Currently Working On...
-Referral system
-PM System

Just a curiosity. Are you allowed to use these games to generate revenue ? Or do you have to pay for licenses ?

We have purchased the games from a flash game vendor, we will have to look into if this gives us proper licensing.

How much of the token is going to prize pool? how long does it take to pay places?  Do I have to be first for the whole month?

Winners are paid immediately, in the future we plan on adding both Monthly and Weekly rolling jackpots, where the best players of the month/week will win a portion of the game's jackpot.

Token prices have been fixed, price should be normal now.

Still up, did you see any error or did the page just fail to load?
