Upgraded our design etc.

Reserving for future contests

What is BTCArena?

BTCArena is a PvP (Player vs Player) social gambling experience where you can take part in speed lottery games which the winner is decided by a raffle system which is completely provably fair or take part in a coinflip where you will have a 50/50 chance to double up your money!

How to play?

After you have deposited which you can do so by clicking on "Bank" at the top left of the screen, you can either; join the jackpot round by inputting your bet amount, create a coinflip game by choosing Spartans / Persians or join a coinflip which is already up.

Best way to get help/support?

Please join our discord and open a ticket so we can assist asap when one of our staff member sees it.

What is the current fee?


For the entire duration of our beta it will be 1% on total pot and this may change if feasible or not when we do a full launch. As per our announcement made that fees are now lowered.

How does the prov fair work?

we got a seed
we hash it,
send it to user to they can see it.

round ends
random.org sends us a string
we hash the string and our seed together.

this is the final hash.
we take the final hash, take the first 5 characters. Convert to decimal.
multiple total tickets by the decimal to get winning ticket.


What does winning percent mean? EG I had 2$ in pot and the other guy too but he showed higher?

The winning percentage on the history column indicates the percentage generated by our random number generator. The winning ticket is calculated by multiplying this winning percentage by the total amount of tickets in the game.

Click the verify link and it will show you and explain all the details.

Reserved for future use.

I have registered to your site and it always give me username already taken. I have changed my username for 4 times already and it gives me the same error.

May I know if what will be the reason behind it? I am sure that I am inputting a unique username every time it gives me the error.

It was a bug if you didn't put an email, it's fixed now sorry for that.

What kind of contest is this? Sorry for asking it here as I do not use discord, why you do not held the contest here in this forum as you may get more interest than on discord IMO?
Asking about your leaderboard on the site? Is there any rewards for being on the leaderboard? I just checked it and so confused to see how your leaderboard works as the position for those who have made bets and wager are not even on the first place while the those who have not even wagered single cents are on top places.

Much better if its being explained on how the contest done on discord.Giveaway prize isnt bad at all.Tried to check out the site but it seems it do have problems on their odds percentage specially the last one.
Adding up would result into 100.2%  102.02%.

Thank you. I successfully registered now. I would like to familiarize your platform and maybe I will play a little amount of money once I have free time.

This is a visual bug, users can only bet 2 dp and if they decide to bet 3 dp we round it for them so there odds go a little off visually, but in the backend it will take the 3 dp value.  This is to prevent vales like 1.200000001 for example to show in the bet value.  Will fix it soon too, we are still in beta.  Thank you for pointing this out for us.

If you add the bet amounts compared to the won value, it is different for further proof.

EDIT: It's now been fixed.

Our leaderboard will also be fixed today also.  We will be planning to launch a contest for top betters on leaderboard very soon.  
We will be launching giveaways on BTCTalks too, currently our site is in beta so we don't want to go too crazy just yet.  

EDIT:  We have fixed leaderboard!

I am interested with bug rewards, may I know if how much you also allocated for it. I am currently exploring now your beta website and hoping to find bugs so I get a little reward.

I also joined discord but I am wondering how I can participate in the contest to win the 170$?

One of my friends told me that it is an "invitation" competition, maybe it is something where you need to invite people to join btcarena or invite people to join their discord channel. I'm not really sure about how it works, probably as milwelda said previously that they need to explain about all the contest or giveaway in more details and can be read easily on the discord channel as well as on the main site.

Just joined discord. I would like to try and will let you know if there a bug. Im interesting about the pvp game.

Any additional information with your social contest? Are facebook users will be included to this contest or only twitter?

It will be better if you can include all the important information about your contest so we as participants will know what we are going to do in order to support your project.

We will launch contests for other platforms soon.

Right now it's $170 BTC for 5 winners, the people who invite the most into the discord win!  We are using a discord bot to manage it.

I am very bad with games especially if in gambling, in the past I lost almost 2btc playing different types of gambling.
I like to try your platform and I hope I will be lucky this time. And also I am worried with your security as you said that it is probably fair but you are using the help with third parties.

How can we make sure that it will be fair even using other parties?

Thank for clarification, I will be looking forward to your contest to launch in either fb or twitter.
My bad, I am not good in referrals especially in discord. How I wish that I can be part in top 5 winners.

We use random.org which is highly trusted + our own server seed at the beginning which we reveal the hash to the user. You can read more on the FAQ section.

Great, I visited your FAQ so I can understand well your project and for me to give it a try as I love gambling but gambling didn't love me back as I always lost my funds.

I will spare a little amount to your project to test my luck again but I am wondering to your fees which is 7.5%, though you said that you are doing this to fund your daily giveaways and for your servers.
But may I know if this fees will be included in every transaction or games that we will play?

Everyone yesterday we had a new all time breaking record in pot size! 0.549 btc aka 2216 $ was put in the pot and LaFlare won once again with some major luck going for him!

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/518901893955846144/532255731496255498/biggest-pot.gif?width=400&height=174

Even 5% fee would really be still high.We understand that you have just started but imposing high fees wont really be a good attraction for sure.

It's a PvP game.

Poker sites tax 5-20% of the buy in and have a rake too which is similar. Unlike PvC sites like Dice/Crash, we can only tax one pot instead of each person.

Due to the fact that there is technically no house edge and we can't take anyone's money completely, having odds similar to PvC sites would make it completely impossible to continue to operate.  But once more players do come on the site we do plan to reduce the fee as we go.  We are not taking out any of the profits of the site now and when we do, it will be lower.

People are just so used to having a 1% House edge/ fee here. I think if your game gets extremely popular, you should at least try to lower it near 1% or even 2% in the future to be competitive with the other gambling sites.

Also nice design on the gambling site too, it reminds me of some cs:go gambling sites but I can't really think of it on the top of my head.

Ofc, we are planning to reduce as we go and I agree.

Thanks for the compliment!

This is pretty good design as I can see and the game mode is pretty normal to have as PvP based game but still it is depends on players as well and you really need to have much more to have great profit. Players tend to bet with players but it never been wrong if you could add up some bot to help in case there was no player like the time when I checked it. I saw there is only one player which is you need to wait for very long time to get your place money back, if only there is a player

It seems that the game is very attractive for all gamblers in crypto space. And in the website, I found out that the fees are much a little bit high I think? Also, can you translate the language into English on how to verify the game results so we can easily understand it. Thanks.

I decided to check out your website as well. Website design looks nice and simple. It also works noticeably faster than other websites. As I was going through registration, I saw the following text in the ReCaptcha field, perhaps you should do something about it  ;):
I also wanted to ask whether you obtained a license and operate legally under some country's jurisdiction. And I agree with others that 7.5% fee seems really high. Apart from that, since your website is new, perhaps you could make a small faucet where people could claim coins to try your game(s).

Ive seen that red caution on that captcha as well but all things proceed without any problems when it comes to registration.About the faucet thing it isnt bad to put up that feature(which is common nowadays)
since the game do have a minimal bet of 0.01 Mbtc = $0.04 then i guess it wont really hurt at all.

Hello team, i have already join the discord in order to know more about the jackpot/Speed lottery. But somehow I wasn't really able to locate the exact or the detailed information of it for it only directs me to announcement. Will be exploring for a bit more and hopefully I get to find it.

I have seen in the website on how to deposit. But how long will it takes to confimed that it was successfully deposits so we can play the game? Also, in what way will you promote this game in crypto space inorder to be recognized by gamblers and inorder to reduced the fees from 7.5% to 5%?

Is this already available as an application for mobile devices? If not, will this be implemented also for mobile devices and when.

what does the lorem ipsum mean which is written on your FAQ on the "How to verify the game results". Is it a filler text or it was put on purpose?

Soon.

This is just my opinion if you consider, it varies from 10-30mins depending on how long a new block in the blockchain will added for it requires a new block to verify every transaction.

This is a good way to earn bitcoin since all you just need is your luck and skills to defeat your enemy. I believe playing against other players is much better than playing against the hows which always wins most of the time.

That's true, in this way you'll just depend on skills unlike RNG or what we known as random number generator which mostly define the result of the bet and is luck. Although it is not always earning but this platform can be entertaining as well.

I saw that you source code is not yet available? So far I didn't found any bugs yet, depositing btc and withdrawing it has no problem so far.  
It will be better if you will also accept other currency in the future aside from btc so other players have choice what currency they would like to deposit and play.

May I know why in FAQ, gambling addiction is included? I am not sure if it is really important and it is also stated there that if we have gambling addiction, we will just contact your staff and limit our account or in worst case banned it.

Though other sites has a way in order to limit or give the participants a safe way of gambling. But still i'm skeptical if it is really that important.

We will be adding Coinflip today!

I believe that if someone can't control their own money flow, they should not gambling at all. Instead of giving them to block your account or manage our deposit and withdrawal is a little bit off as I can say. I do not accuse them that they will scam player or not but to maintaim your own addiction is your own problem, not theirs so if they manage to have this om their terms may be it is just precaution for player to make sure them play using their own that they can affors to lose, nothing more personal than other things

Okay, we will remove it then and reword it

Our site is back up after maintenance!

We have reduced the fee to 1% in beta!

sorry will change soon

Does the team have their social media sites? I am looking it in the thread but don't found any. I am hoping that they will include it in here.

The idea is good and it is a kind of project that truly will gain a lots of attention from the crowd. I was hoping that they will keep on showing us their true capability providing us the information needed and necessary for the crypto community as a proud crypto project.

It is on our landing page.

I can't access the site through mobile, do the team have the plan to create a mobile version of their platform? This is a quite a bit risky since this is still new and maybe some improvement that needs to be done.

The project have their potential. But honestly, I am not fond to the color palette of this project. But what's important is the concepts and ideas presented. I am looking forward for more updates of the project.

It would be much good if the project development team will be able to launch the mobile version of the platform. By means of that, more people will be able to conveniently can use this BTCArena.gg which will also brong a good impact to the growth of the project's community.

It will be helpful if you can add the said links of your social media sites in your Ann Thread so the forum community will easily go to your media sites.
And also FAQ page will be good also if you will add it in your Ann Thread as in your website, you cannot find it easily. You still need to go through extras before seeing the FAQ page.

Done

Great news, will the fee will last until the beta phase will finish or it will go back to normal fee again after beta?

Yes same here I am also having that same issue. I think it is really necessary to make your game compatible with our mobile devices as wrell.

Will you be adding more games to your platform in the future? Coinflip is not realy fun to play it seems a bit boring. Why add real time chess matches or strategy board games where we can also place our bet.

Just had a 87mBTC win on site!
https://i.imgur.com/4mZDjOS.gif

All games are PF?
Are you still in Beta ?

I wish I can win also 87mBTC, the winner is very lucky. I really love gambling but gambling hates me. So far, I already loss 3mBTC.

maybe next time!
Thanks for playing

Will the bet amount in jackpot will differ on how many percent you will likely to win it? join the jackpot round by inputting your bet amount.

Why I saw that your site has 8 people onlines but there is no running bets? Does that 8 people are all your staffs? To be honest, this is game is really attractive but somehow it needs more than just a marketing to make people keep on betting here. Speed lottery is really a good name for sure but again without people coming around, I believe this is not going to work in any ways

when we are out of beta we will be advertising a lot more heavily

I try to register to your game and try to play. I like the lottery because I reaally play that in reality. Giveaway also is good because for sure people want giveaway because they reaally want free money. I hope the giveaway is good and not very low. And I like s much with your game because they have some contest and they have also prizes more feature to come is better.

glad you enjoyed it, and will do so!

So your site is still on beta? But usually new site will already got this huge just from their beta right? But currently you have less players around which I assume there is mod and admin included inside so by the time I checked there should be only 6 people around. This is a not a healthy site with this much of player around, unless you can keep on some big balance to let the site alive as long as possible

6 players is a quite good number for a 20 days old casino actually. There will be more if they fix the coinflip game asap and leave beta. By playing in this casino you are agreeing to be a beta tester of the casino basically. So it is better to play with small amounts in case of getting accidental "bugs". The layout and colors look pretty good. It might become big in a year if they manage to stay in business.

Fixing their coinflip wont give more but who knows because this is just a new site. 6 players for 20 days old is good? I dont think so. For now i have checked out its only 3
and assuming those are chat mods and the owner itself are online.

There isn't much difference between 1 day and 20 days. The casino literally started yesterday. Only a few business start with hundreds of customers from day 1 and to accomplish that not only you need a decent working product but you also need to have social media accounts filled with thousands of people and you need to able to canalize their interest into your casino. It is not an easy task. If you don't do anything it will either take years to build a decent customerbase or it won't at all.

We've had around 10 BTC or so played on our site so far.  We want to make sure our site is ready before we officially launch and come out of beta but as the others have stated, it's much harder to ramp up a PvP game mode compared to a PvC one.


Coinflip has also officially launched now!

Thanks we will have another giveaway soon

We'll be out of beta soon. The platform is slowly coming together now :P

Care to share your estimated or exact time frame when your business will out of beta? I understand that you are listening to your possible players, are you now dealing with social media advertising? Or add any promotions that will generate traffics to your website.

Advertisement and promotions attracts players together with good customers experience will bring a business to a successful journey. Good luck

It's part of the business, advertising is important, and I'm sure they have plans on that, just waiting for the right time to launch.
The longer it will be in beta, the better improvement they can do, because one it's launch and will fully operational and sites does not gather feedback, business future will then be at risk.

Oh my god this is by far the best design on a game I have ever seen. By far the best. Incredibly work put into this, I am really in love with it. I can't stop looking at it. Games need a bit more players and more action and maybe potentially more games but with a look like this I can't really imagine how you guys can fail, it looks like you are destined to be amazing.

I love pvp games on casinos because it makes the casino suddenly super trustworthy, when you are gambling against the casino everyone fears the possibility of casino scamming them however when the game is pvp there is no way casino will scam you since they are making money whoever wins which makes the casino super trustworthy right away. With this awesome design and the super trustworthy pvp style, I think this will become one of the biggest websites out there in crypto gambling world.

I do not think that it is really a quite good numbers since gambling games is pretty much easy to get a new members to try the site at least for couple of days if they are having a good marketing strategy. But for current time 6 players does not can be considered as a routine players. They could be mod and others members as well so they should really work on their marketing program to get more members to stay there

I am pretty much impressed by the overall design of the website. It runs smoothly and the user interface is simple and easy to understand. The number of average players are considerably low but, since the website is in beta stage it doesn't matter as you have time to attract more players to the site. I really like the idea of giving importance to the community and keeping them engaged on discord channel. The  backbone of every casino is their community. So, keep building the community strong and the results could be reflected by the time of original product launch.

Thanks for the compliments!

We have officially relaunched our site now!

If there is any issue with the site please let us know! We will be starting giveaways from today or tomorrow!

the website seems to be down... i get some error 502 bad gateway or something...

Yes the site are down right now I dont know when the site will be back online lets wait for the answer and clarification of the team.

Hello i played a little bit i had over 10 USD (nearly 3 mbtc or something i dont remember), then the website went offline for 30 minutes, now i logged back in and all my money is GONE. What is that?

Please restore my money and add it to my account.

USERNAME on btcarena is kaktibob


On website under my profile i see it says i wagered over 14 mbtc and on profit it says 0 but thats not true i won most of my games and had over 3 mbtc i think

It seemed like you were abusing the referral system, however it was our fault for the error so we have reimbursed your 3 mBTC.

Have fun betting!

hahaha i made multiple accounts with ref link and because no one plays on your site i played against myself and won over 10 USD i made withdraw and got it instant thanks for the free money.

You should stop with the ref bonus people can easily make multiple accounts with VPN and try to withdraw free money, looks like you have instant withdrawals too so it makes it only easier because you cant check the gameplay etc. before the money is sent...

Its also possible to register and get 0.1 mbtc with reflink and make multiple accounts and tip 1 account all the 0.1 mbtc and then withdraw with the account that got all the free money...

so you lose only money with the free ref bonus you should delete it :D

Hi, Dev here.
Yep, I watched you do the whole thing. We have a system in place to prevent abuse, but unfortunately due to a small typo on my side. The system wasn't performing its checks correctly. Issue is now patched
Enjoy the $10, thanks for pointing it out  ;)

All of our bugs have now been fixed and we have officially launched! 

If people keep betting yes, you get a % of the pie.

i just play in your website from free money i got and after all, i like the games
but maybe can you reduce the withdrawals fees and add an option to change the avatar?

that was btc fees going up not us.

The bitcoin fees right now are low but in the website fixed the withdrawals fee into 0.5 mbtc

https://bitcoinfees.info/

bitcoin fees are .5 mbtc atm
but we will add a feature so you can choose the fee very soon

Had some pretty big pots yesterday! Join the fun

Wow, I really like this and it looks cool on a mobile site. Any company that wants to go far really need put mobile users in mind because there are lots of people that makes use smartphones mainly, cause that users can play on the go. The design and everything about the site, and the way they explain themselves, you do not need any further explanation in knowing whether they are legit or not. I have seen one site like this one ,they are also offering pvp betting ,but this looks much better than the first one I saw here.

Where are you based? India?


If your website becomes popular enough, chances are the same IP address will one day be assigned to a different user.
