Bitcoin Forum

Hi, I’m Karolus and interested in lottery and blockchain.

I am now planning to make a lottery purchase platform where you can buy lottery in bitcoin.

It's not another lottery program, we'll buy a lottery ticket in a physical store if you order online. And 70% of the processing fee(about 10% - 25%) will be taken for customer's order or referral as a rebate.

I’m doing a survey now. If you have the same points of interest with me, fill the form down below.

https://forms.gle/wEqK5oqrzTDYeFbQ8 (https://forms.gle/wEqK5oqrzTDYeFbQ8)

You can visit our site https://spot.games (https://spot.games).

You can subscribe us https://mailchi.mp/d5efde969427/spotgamessubcribe (https://mailchi.mp/d5efde969427/spotgamessubcribe) if you are interested in my project.

My telegram account is https://t.me/karolusM (https://t.me/karolusM), feel free to contact me and give me advice.

You can also reply to me here.

Thank you anyway.

You are basically advertising your site https://spot.games/ ? Isn't ?
And for your question, there are already many lottery program online where we can participate in it through bitcoin. You need to tell us something speical in your lottery program so that we may be attracted toward it.

Please move this to the Project Development section of this forum here, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=12.0  This does not belong under the Main discussion section, because it is a project under development.

Lottery systems are very controversial because there are only a small amount of them that can prove that it is provably fair and loads of them have scammed people out of their money. So, you will get support for this project, if you can prove that your draw is provably fair.  ;)

this belongs to gambling discussion since you are want "gamblers" to answer you.

you should also know that there are a lot of gambling sites already offering lots of different gambling games including lotteries to their users. in my experience those new ones that come up and offer lottery never gain any popularity mainly because people don't really like lottery games and lack of interest means the jackpot is always smaller. there is also an additional problem that it is very hard to prove the lottery was legitimate and not a scam.

How could you expect people to do the survey while you do not tell us what kind of lottery you are referring to? AFAIK there are some kind of lotteries in this world and people has their own favorite which lottery to play so you need to give more specific details on your lottery. Frankly speaking, I do not really like lottery but I have some experiences in local lottery game in my country.

Thank you for your reply!
Yes, you can see it as advertising. But in fact, I'd like to know more about your suggestions about out project. Because we have just started this project for a short time. It is not like other lottery programs, we'll buy a lottery ticket in a physical store after you placing an order and then give your money back via blockchain if you winning a reward.

anybody can go out and buy a lottery ticket for themselves with their own money without needing a third party to do it for them. also without the risk of involving another person in it! then if they won the lottery they can simply buy bitcoin with the reward if they choose to!
so what is the point of your service?

Thank you for your reply!
You cannot buy lotteries from other country or region. In fact, there are some third-party sites doing the same thing like us, but they usually have a high processing fee(and they won't tell you that). So I'm planning to make it cheaper by blockchain.

Why only purchase? Seems like people would lose pretty much on your service fees andexchange rate. Is it easier to make something like online casino? I guess a plenty of gambling websites should already have something like that.
Also, your Idea seems bad because you may have customers from different countries that want to buy their local tickets or maybe some other countries that are not available for your service.

You'll buy an official lottery from our service. And an official lottery wouldn't put the information on the chain(unless we have a huge number of customers, we'll try it if the number is big enough). And we're trying to expand lottery categories now.

Thank you for your advise.

I think it depends on how much the lottery price because I think most people want to buy cheap lottery price to win a big prize for money.
No matter if the price is in bitcoin or fiat, as long as the price is cheap, then I guess that many people will buy that lottery.
I wonder how the site will be and how much the price of the lottery.

It depends on the lottery's official price. We'll add a 10% to 25% as processing fee. After that the price is about 2-4 US dollars. And we'll take 70% of our profit(most from processing fee) as a rebate for those who order or referral. It will be a DApp (the debate project) but now it's not, and we are trying to finish that. If you are interested in it, you can visit https://spot.games (https://spot.games).

Thank you for your advice.

How if you can lower the fee for about less than 10% because that will makes people curious to buy lottery and the price of the lottery itself is about $2-$3. I am sure that people will attract to try the lottery because the price is not too expensive.
Another suggestion, I think you can try to make the site to be an English version because I am sure that your visitor will not just come from China and if you can get more visitor, then I am sure that will make your site grow.
I like the design of the website, but unfortunately, I cannot read the text.

We have an English version. You can switch language by clicking the button.

But we do have problems on localization, and we'll fix it soon.

I just checked the website. So, the payment on the lottery ticket will be based on SPG token. How will winners receive their winnings? Will it be in SPG, BTC or direct fiat?

Going thru all this bring inconvenience to gamblers, there are lots of gambling sites with lottery, so would be better to think of something that would attract lottery players using your website.

Honestly no. I will not let my bitcoin will spend in lottery or something like gambling. It is a waste of money or bitcoin. I will only spend my bitcoin in case of emergency or even if there is an good offer or opportunity of another investment. I value my bitcoin a lot because it is for my future so I do want to use it in lottery games or gambling that there is a very small chance of winning.

lottery purchase platform? did that website offer people to buy a lottery in real life or you own the lottery platform?
because there is already a website that held a lottery with rewards up to 10 BTC

What about if you can pay in stablecoins or some altcoins.

well, your new lottery site does not have any proof that you are not taking huge cuts from the pot. people are putting their money and buying the lottery tickets which they can do at any site even on faucets like freebitco provide lottery feature. but if you provide an innovative way with the lottery system then I guess people will consider trying it over other famous sites.

Winners will receive their winnings in stablecoins(we use GUSD now). SPG is a token that we calculate your effort (generally, your order amount and your referral amount). And we'll pay rebate back to you after then(also in stablecoin). You can get some SPG after you place an order or referral a friend.

Thank you for your advice.

We provide a query feature that you can search for any order on the site(the numbers, the price, the wallet address you'll receive your winning). And we'll buy a physical ticket after you place an order in a physical store, and send you the picture of the ticket after purchasing.

It also have a rebate project, we'll give you a long-time reward after you place an order or referral a friend. All reward or winning above will be transferred to you in stablecoins(we use GUSD now).

Thank you for your advice.

ok, that makes more sense with this explanation.
now the only thing left is to come up with a way to make people trust you by guaranteeing them their winning amount in case they did get lucky and won the lottery. and that is going to be hard.

It's really hard to prove it. We need to buy a real lottery ticket from a physical store after a customer place an order from our site. That means we must touch the money(or coins) in the whole process and we can't put all things on chain(cause it involves legal currency transactions). So we can only make all the transaction records public and queried. If you have any advice for that, just reply here. And thank you.

Wait! What?!

I thought you are making a platform where we could buy it through bitcoin or other crypto currencies.


Lottery purchase platform. There is that word purchase.
So this means you should be connected with like Megamillions or Powerball for an example to make this happen right?
If not then, just like you said you will be buying it for us?

We will have a problem here.
First of all, we paid and you have our tickets. How can we make sure you wont be running away with the winning ticket?
Will there be terms of agreement where we could sue you if not?
Will we having a receipt to prove that it is our ticket?

It's depend on every individual whenever they want to do transaction based on their need.
Lottery online can be purchase cashless like CC,paypal,etc so when crypto came, it may be alternative for people to use it.

For me, it's great choice for simplexity !

well, nowadays its very hard to find some sites that have significant different to another. Even some of themhas just give additional method of the lottery.
Not only the participants, the owner of the sites of course want more profit than just from the ad of their site

Even though it is under developed project, it should be moved to Gambling discussion section (and Not to the project development section.)
Although i am not easily attracted towards the lottery system but the way OP is replying to every question makes me think it is legit and worth checking/ participating.

Why collect payment in bitcoin and then pay winners in your token why not the same bitcoin and if I buy a lottery ticket from your platform can I play it in another lottery sites or the ticket is mean for only your platform because you state lotteries ticket in your post.

Yes I would but this seem's to be a lottery of Japan.
Do you plan on expanding it ?
Would you add up other countries official lottery?

Afaik GUSD is not their token and it's reasonable to pay the winners with stablecoin since they're getting the same value and the prizes from irl lotteries are usually fiat. If the winner is desperate in having Bitcoin as a prize he/she could always exchange it and at one point he'll be forced to exchange those stablecoins anyway.

I do agree with that. If they are collecting bitcoin, why not pay the winner with bitcoin also? If they will pay with their token, the winner has the burden to convert it btc and then to his fiat money. Pretty simple logic. I don't know if they can attract players with this arrangement.

A little bit suggestion you need to lower the fees and what kind of suggestion you want to know?? Beside a lot of Lottery website that accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment you can visit the site and see in your own what you need todo for your project. A lottery website is easily to manipulating well if you want to gain trust just be fair.

I am a lottery fanatic person and those some scratch card ,this is part of my daily expenses so having this online is more i.preferred but nowadays lots of lottery online sellers are scattered around the internet so its hard to look for legit

Maybe OP is japan based so he starts over his country but for sure if ths project Bloom thsn he will consider expanding the operation

Now this type of business is very normal today, my concern is, if the vision of the Lottery is limited only there? or are there some ideas or projects for raffles to be made in the future? That is, where tickets are purchased to win cars, just like a Lambo? Or is there a way to include consolation prizes such as trips to the Caribbean Islands or something similar?

We collect cryptocurrencies, most are stablecoins(USDT, GUSD, USDC and so on), and we pay winners stablecoins. Our token is more like a point voucher(but based on erc20). Everytime you pay an order or refer a new customer, you'll get some point. After that, 70% of our profit (from processing fee) will be allocated proportionately. It's a long-time activity, means you can get rebate day by day as long as you hold SPG token in your address.

Second question. We sell official lottery ticket. You can play the same lottery in other sites(official or third-party). But you cannot buy lottery cross-regionally online from an official site, and most of the third-party sites have a high processing fee(some of them have a 150% processing fee). So we have this plan to launch this site and make you buy lottery in crypto payments in a relatively low price.

Of course we do pay winners bitcoin/stablecoin like USDT. That token is just like point which determines how much rebate you can get everyday (we pay rebate everyday, and if you hold our token, you can get rebate everyday). Also, we pay rebate in stablecoins.

It's great to see your post. The sale of lottery through bitcoin is really different. And I'm always working with new people who want to do well in front of me. So I must give you your work and I will say you are ahead. Bitcoin for sale in front of you for sale
Maybe something good is waiting.

Thank You

In the past, I have used credit cards to purchase lottery tickets (MegaMillions, PowerBall, Super EnaLotto.etc). But the sites that I had used never had an option to make the payments in BTC. I will be very happy if the payments can be made in BTC. But at the same time, they should make sure that there will be no legal complications because of that.

Everyone feels the same way I think, it depends on the lottery and who makes it and what are the odds.

For example, if stake came up with lottery tomorrow and said that it will be basically pvp where every 24 hours (this time part could change) tickets will be sold and there will be draw and the winner will get 99% of all tickets sold in bitcoin and they will keep 1% for themselves, do you think people won't play it ? It will be one of the biggest lottery in the crypto world quite quickly.

However, if someone nobody heard of before does it we are of course worried that it may not be legit and we could be scammed. So, basically people are not against lottery, people are just not trusting anyone that easily in crypto because there have been too many scams before so we are cautious about where we put our money collectively.

Are you referring to an online lottery ticket or a paperless lottery ticket? If that so then its better than going to an outlet, get in line with others then get some paper who turns into a trash after. But if the idea requires additional payment bigger than before then i dont think i will buy those.

I don't like online lottery especially in online gambling, i'd rather go to the local outlet to bet it since i trust those ones because it is legitimate and is supported by lots of people. There have been quite a lot of issues in online gambling especially in crypto-based gambling, i don't think people like to hand over their crypto to someone who's not reputable so that people would trust him/her.

Probably this is right but I think there is probably the fair game in the lottery gambling industry, I didn't judge them yet once I didn't check their credibility if how legit they are. But here is I guess maybe OP was trying here to publish his lottery gambling site to catch the idea on some gamblers here and free of having ads.

Even in the slightest chance I would, but for now my feelings towards lottery is unknown. I don't felt it way back 2000's when I keep on betting but even just once I never had the chance to win. It is unlucky for me to participate anymore and I moved on. Here in our place lottery is very famous and I think if people will know how to utilize bitcoin payments I think they would'n even bothering falling in long lines just to bet in the lottery.

yes of course  . ive always wanted this to happen because im a fan of lottery and  i always buy lottery tickets locally but sometimes im lazy or im buzy and i dont have the urge to travel on the city but if ever there was an online lottery shop i will prefer to buy it that way and it much better if they will also support other lighter cryptos aside from bitcoin because bitcoin was too bulky  .

No,I won't buy a lottery ticket with bitcoin of fiat,because it's pointless.Lotteries are called "stupidity taxation" with a reason.Smart people don't buy lottery tickets,because they can do the math and realise that it's no worth it.By the way,your business idea is kinda weird.If you buy a real physical lottery ticket,that means that your are the owner of that ticket and all it's potential profits.

Well, I can say I can buy lottery ticket with bitcoin but I will not do it because I know the potential of bitcoin especially this year. It is now in the phase of increasing so I am just waiting for the right moment then I can use bitcoin. Buying a lottery ticket with bitcoin will be great because the hassle will be lessened.

I'm not buying lottery online, it would be safer if I will buy it in our local lottery as I know they are legit and I can claim my winning if I'm lucky.
My activity online is more on sports gambling, but with a little amount only, I would worry if I win a million dollars online and I might have a problem getting my reward. I just can't trust online with big money as reward.

This is nice to see you do pay winners Bitcoin or stable coin. Paying rebate in stable coin is not bad and I think it is something that will attract people to participate and buy lottery online. This will also give a push to the expansion of use of Bitcoin. Actually this is also an indication to the fact that crypto is going to replace the tradition ways to carrying economic activities.

For me, it is like an advertisement, but i am not interesting in lottery system, even i am not count lottery in gambling, i don't think it is a game of gambling type. If you are searching in lottery with bitcoin, then you could find it easily in online gambling.

Thank you for your support!
We support Ethereum and some other stablecoins base on erc20 like GUSD, USDC and so on. We have a plan to remove the bitcoin payments method for the same reason you said, it's too bulky.

I think you don't have to remove the bitcoin payment methods because people like to buy lottery using bitcoin besides the other coin. So if you don't remove bitcoin, I guess that people will prefer to buy using bitcoin but don't use a higher price for the lottery ;D

But if you insist on removing the bitcoin payments, then that will be good for you as you are the owner of the gambling site.

Yeah, but i was just stating the fact that he might possibly encounter soon so OP should expect something like this to happen.
The first target of OP now is how to get the trust of the people to make his online lottery be effective.
Since there are lots of gambling website already who do exist and probably they have that lottery on their site.

Sad to see Shoreno looking to buy lotteries and wasting his money on that. Seriously it is sensible investment even on gambling field. There are people focus on casino or betting.
That could be allow you win at sometime but this lottery is simply like doubling only few number of people only gonna a make money out of it.

In most of the time I am not a big fan of lotteries because it will end up only with the loss but if it was been interested for me I will definitely do it and the Bitcoin type of lotteries is definitely buy from my side.

Uhmm no. I will not buy a lottery ticket online with the use of bitcoin. It's because the kickback of many lottery holders are too much. If you are aware of what's happening, you can see that there is a lottery that was posted in here in which if all the possible numbers to win are filled out, they can get 5 btc. And guess what, the winner gets 1 btc.

If you are able to prove the legitimacy of the service, why not?
If you able to make a good website with a professional touch, why not?
If you are able to prove that everything is securely running, why not?
If you able to explain well all technical aspects, why not?

Gamblers want to placed bet at any convenient means, so is buying entries from lotteries.

We just need several good reasons why should we consider using your service.

Without any proven legitimacy of your service and even if so there is very little chance I would buy lottery tickets online with Bitcoin.
Would much more prefer to walk into a local shop and purchase with case in hand and not have to worry about getting scammed.

I don't have the confidence about getting the success in lotteries but I do little investment in lotteries when I got the opportunity but I don't trust it works for my life and Bitcoin types of lotteries will always been acceptable by me.

There's always different opinions about how the business will be running, the important factor is how things will be executed and how fair this site will be, there's gamblers out there who's desperate to win big from this kind of gambling they just needed assurance from the owner.

I have seen some 3rd party who do offer such service.I would like to say that this is indeed good yet people across countries will able to purchase tickets on other countries
but i doubt that these lottery based things arent really that much of high interest here on this forum or crypto itself.We would just basically bet on our local lottery and save up our own cryptos
on our pockets.

lottery saree low investment but it will be a life changing Champs so I can definitely do it possibly when ever had my time to invest in it but till now I have no luck but I am waiting to take the chance of getting the success if it was but then also I will do it.

Yeah it's obvious op advertising lottery gambling site, I will try to browse thei site later I expect  they have pretty different from among the old lottery sites.

Same with you.Although it's more convenient to purchase online but we can't avoid to think the negative side about it.I would still prefer to buy from our local lottery and spend my fiat for that.For now,cryptos is still good as my investment so i would not waste time spending it especially that its price is increasing even more.

No way, because if the 0.002 BTC that I spend today ends up being worth $100 next week, next month or next year, I'd be very upset.

Maybe you can tell us what kind of lottery you are about to say here and you are actually advertising your site but maybe it can be click to everybody since this is also a gambling game and convenient to play or buy online with bitcoin. Try also to do your survey with other social media apps, maybe it can help you a lot.

Not next week or next month because your 0.002 is only too little even if the price increase or pumps a bit but next year or two , there is a possibility that your 0.002 could already worth 100 usd  . in the meantime if you think your bitcoins is too valueable for you then why cant you just use other cryptos to be able to buy lottery tickets ?   But there is still a few problem that you can face  . what if the site only accepts btc ?  And what if there are no sites yet that sell lottery tickets for crypto payment   ?

That is purely the reason why I never gave it a second though if I need to use Bitcoin to participate in lottery. It is no doubt too bulky and I think it felt because you would not have gotten so many users with Bitcoin for buying lottery online. Using these light coins like Eth and USDC is good way to attract participants. Lottery is a quick luck you know. You can win it and can have big money and you can loose it and would not loose big. Good luck guys.

Bitcoin shouldnt really be removed and i dont know why its being said that bitcoin is too bulky? People would always prefer bitcoin and it isnt really bad to add up alternative ones to add up on the options.

  Bitcoin is beneficial for all of us we should continue using it, bitcoin is the future investment which has strong future, those who are saying to remove bitcoin will be sad when other coins will not give more profit as bitcoin gives, I don’t consider any other coin better than bitcoin, we should always keep bitcoin a part of our investment.

At this point in time where we see the price of Bitcoin continues to surge, I would rather buy lottery tickets using fiat than spend my Bitcoin and pay additional fees for using Bitcoin as a form of payment. The only advantage that I see in using Bitcoin as payment is there will be no need to fall in line, specially if the draw is the same day where most of the time there will be long lines.

Not my cup of coffee but I suppose it might appeal to dedicated lottery addicts who buy tickets for draws abroad? If ever I won one of those lotteries I'd rather have my prize received in fiat or btc rather than some other crypto.


I agree with this. I'd rather just convert and buy tickets for a local lotto. As for the lines, it's always long where I live and the exchange don't offer lotto among it's service so I'll have no choice but to encash.

Lol my house ia just block away from lottery outlets not just one but two outlets so why do i need to buy online?

I will  never spend my Holdings just to buy lottery tickets lol,and also i am buying scratchable lottery card once.ot twice a week so i need to buy in outlet

It is hasslle to buy lottery tickets using bitcoin. Imagine if you just hodl it you will get profits while keeping it when the market pumps instead of spending it to a lottery ticket and spend higher fees. There are nearby lottery stations in our area thus I will just pay it in cash. No hassle for transactions confirmations.

You guys are interested with lottery system using blockchain/smart-contract and the payment using a cryptocurrency. Try to look at LOTEO, they have a smooth interface, also every Lottery held by LOTEO will always have a winner really different with other Lottery. The ticket not using a number like other tickets, they using True RNG Number from Smart-contract to choice the winner, everything using a DAPP at the platform.

I wouldn't. It's because lottery in our country is very convenient and surely supported by the government at the same time. We can bet in a lottery with our lucky numbers at any mall here thus I must rather spend my fiat money and let my BTC gives me a profit from gaining value in this bullish market. On the other hand, I'm still gambling through sportsbetting, poker, and etc. with Btc since my age is still not qualified for me to gamble in casinos here.

If that so, why not? I am been playing lottery games sometimes and it could be easier in my part if I could use BTC or any cryptocurrencies to buy ticket but it seems to be not available in our country. It may be there are some areas where accepting BTC payments and hoping that it could be presented also to our country in the future.

I'm sure the main idea is not about gaining profit or about spending fees when buying something with bitcoin, but the main idea is about an alternative way to buy something with bitcoin. If you thinks that way means that you do not even support the existence of bitcoin gambling, do you? Surely, it is all about preferences. I prefer to gamble using crypto than cash because of its anonymity although I need to spend some fees for every transactions but I don't really care about it so far.

0.002 btc will be worth if bitcoin price increases because we don't know how higher bitcoin price can reach. I think that is why some of us prefer to buy lottery with altcoin because they can use bitcoin to purchase altcoin and I am sure that they will get a huge amount. But who knows, by buying the lottery, we can get lucky so we can win some money ;D

No, I will not buy if I won the lottery people where I bought online can easily trace me as their winner, it's better that you buy your own ticket online because your privacy is safe, there are people here that offer people for their service and that is buying a ticket for them for a small fee, but what if they record your ticket, they will know exactly that you've won the jackpot.

Anyway, it seems to me that the use of Bitcoin in gambling is impractical.  Thanks to Bitcoin, you can get a lot more than in a game of chance.  There are other opportunities to gamble and spend other cryptocurrencies.  I consider Bitcoin to be the most important asset in the cryptocurrency market, which needs to be treated very carefully.

I think that the risk is not too big if we don't use a big amount of bitcoin so we can keep the rest amount for the next bull run that will happen soon. So I think although we are losing money in the lottery, we don't lose too much money because we still have the rest bitcoin. It will differ if we use all of our bitcoin to buy lottery because we want to hit the jackpot.

If you can do it on your own, then its better to do that and you’re correct about your security. If you ask someone to buy for you, then you might need to pat the fees which can cost you more. I would only buy using my bitcoin if I’m sure about my security.

he said he can do it on its own but his problem is that his afraid to buy ticket online using btc because he thinks that he can be track if ever he won . @robelneo you shouldnt worry if you buy on an offcial store because they wont care at all even if you win   .  they wouldnt trace you  .  but if your still worrying you can try using a mixing service so that no one can trace your transactions  or you can use other privacy cryptos if ever they support it .

It could be something to consider and you are just worrying what will happen when you win. But I don't think that it will ask your personal details when buying ticket cause it probably is happening in the time of claiming the rewards. So being traceable as you think is really that far.

I don't know why it's a big deal to most people here to buy a lottery ticket online when it's just almost the same when you play in any gambling site. You deposit, you win, you withdraw, simple as that. And i am starting to think is it maybe because the lottery prizes were being collected first and then give it to the winner(s).

Although people should have to see or the people behind who runs the lottery online that they were doing it without exploitation e.g. inside job.

Actually there is nothing wrong with buying a lottery with bitcoin, yet you will not use all of your bitcoin to buy it. Everyone who gambles here must have used some of their bitcoin on gambling sites, because indeed the average bitcoin-based gambling site is at stake.


True, it's very risky to buy tickets through third parties. Sometimes we don't know how the third party recorded all the tickets we bought and manipulated them as if they were new.

Yes bitcoin is good investment and it does not have any risk to hold. If you buy bitcoin you will be able to earn money as you will be certain about your money that you are going to get it back. But gambling has 50 percent chances to win only because of luck if you are  not lucky you can lose so don’t use bitcoin try to gamble with fiat only.

Lol what about if market dumps that same time ?and your .002 btc will go down to 10cents..?market is volatile so we must consider the both situation lol

And besides we’re talking about lottery ticket here in which can brings you millions or atleast thousands if your lucky enough 😂

As far as I know if the online lottery is accepting bitcoin as mode of payment, well obviously you can have your lottery ticket.
However, in regardless of your topic here in this thread, it is obviously also that you are only advertising the site on which you posted here
in the forum.

Yes, when accepted as bitcoin it is good to get a fixed value in terms of bitcoin. It means if a ticket costs ten dollars, based on the market value of bitcoin it can be charged. This can be profitable for both buyer and seller at some point, and there are no other plan to eliminate the volatility issue.

I never win on lottery even on real life. That's why I try to avoid any kind of lottery on real life. Also I am not interested to buy any kind of lottery even from online although it's possible to buy by bitcoin. But its true if there is this kind of oppurtunity then more lottery players will know about bitcoin. So I am not fan of lottery.

The lottery is difficult to win and in addition, even though for example we are lucky enough, we still have to pay some money as a service fee. For me, it would be better to play games that we can handle ourselves rather than relying on other people. Besides that there is still one important thing, namely trust!

If this is doable, I just hope gamblers that are buying these lottery tickets get their rewards or prices when they won.

There are a lot of sites that are not legitimate and they might pay using their Bitcoin but they might be scammed. There are a lot of legitimate platforms and offline places where you can buy lottery tickets, you can just buy there. Even if they are not accepting Bitcoin, that is fine as long as you can still place your money on the lottery. If I am you, I'll just keep my Btcs since it may pump in the next weeks.

Yes, before we buy the lottery tickets, we need to know the price of the lottery. Although we can buy with bitcoin, we need to limit how much we should buy the tickets because, for me, bitcoin is one of the best investment. And I don't want to use a big amount of bitcoin to buy the lottery. But in the past, sometimes I bought lottery tickets in my neighborhood but like above me said, I never got to win the jackpot. It is very difficult to win the jackpot because that will depends on the luck.

Need very luck in lottery, i think maybe lottery game is for something that we don't have anything to do to spend our rest of money. Because if we really force our life or money to only spend in lottery, if luck not come to us we wouldn't get any win from it. Except, those who win 12 times in lottery that can found in this subtopic.

You should not waste money on lottery. That would be an absurd thing to do because you also have other expenses to cover and a future life to take care of. Lottery should be seen a fun mode of attempt to make money because nobody is going to win it everyday, otherwise casinos and bookmakers organizing them would not exist.

I can only think of retarded people going all in on any type of gambling, any logical person would refrain from doing so. But then again the casinos are flourishing so I can guess the majority of the gamblers who end up broke even trying lotteries are from the first group.

That’s perfectly right mate,ticket seller cares nothing about whom who both their tickets because all they care is the profit they got from buyers and about the winners the hell they do?

But for me?i rather but ticket physically since there’s a lot of outlets in my place that you can just Walk for a minute and got the ticket on your hands

I prefer buying tickets online as I have done two weeks ago. I did not win do but I was satisfied with the process. Buying tickets using bitcoin is one of the easiest ways I have ever invested into casino or  lottery and buy through bitcoin is the same way you refer to as "got the ticket on your hands" as no third party involvement.

You think too far away but if you are worrying about scammer because of its anonymity then why you join this bitcoin world where anonymity is one of the main advantage of using bitcoin? If this anonymity thing is the reason why you wont buy lottery ticket then you should never use bitcoin for any other purpose as most bitcoin services are anonymous.
Imho as long as we are dealing with trusted services, in this case lottery game then we do not need to worry to be scammed.

I've only seen fairly small lottery jackpots for crypto so far.  It would be awesome to see some of those mega jackpots, mega millions is over 100+million routinely but I guess we need a lot more crypto user adoption for that to become a reality.

I'm not a lottery enthusiast, perhaps if I am a believer of lottery certainly I will buy it online using bitcoin payment.
But I think there is risk buying lottery online, because if ever you win in lottery, is there a chance for you to have or claim
it? Just suddenly came up into my mind.

There is no risk if you won the lottery. There should be no issue in claiming the lottery. The real issue is that if you do not win the lottery all your invested funds will be lost. That's the only reason i do not invest in lottery as it is too risky.

They are slowly bringing that up. So far many sites have opened their lottery programs as secondary games like dice sites and faucet sites which I think it is very smart. Take freebitco.in for example like bringing something like with every  certain dice wager they are giving away 1 ticket which is certainly bringing up interest in gamblers. While on other hand, I've noticed ones who have brought in lottery as primary and only game doesn't gets much attention.

It is wrong to say that you "invest" in gambling because you dont. You gamble your money in trying to make more money and the method is lottery ticket buying. Investment is something of a broader term here and although this is debatable, I consider gambling to be a mode of entertainment and not a mode of making money. The only person making money is the bookmaker.

Whether you decide to buy lottery tickets is your choice. I see people of lower economic strata, not having much of a savings to do, waste their money gambling and buying lottery tickets. Its because they are trying their luck because they have nothing else to depend on.

Yes, you are right. There is no risk if we win the lottery, but maybe the risk is you can lose your money in anytime. You can claim the money in every time you win, but I don't think that will be easy to win the lottery because the game was base on the luck. You will enjoy the lottery if you consider playing the lottery as a game only and not a way to get fast money.

The reason on why I purchase bitcoins is for investment opportunities provided by its high-volatility in the market. If I were to buy anything that could be purchased using real cash, I would have done so instead of using my bitcoins.
Like in your example, purchasing lotto tickets can be bought using cash inside stores or malls. It would be a waste to use bitcoins to purchase these tickets despite having the convenience to do so.


People who have the perspective of gambling their money to recover their financial conflict is in a pitfall. That would only worsen their financial situation especially when they consider it as their last ray of hope. Although there may be ample of opportunities outside gambling, if a person's mind has been blurred by this fact, then this would cascade into bigger problems.

For me, it's a good idea, but most people want to buy their own lottery tickets, and some people don't want to share their number or lucky numbers. Also, you will be facing the trust issue because your client wants to make sure that they will get their reward or winning money. Anyway, good luck with your program.  :)

I hope you don't buy too many lottery tickets with your bitcoin because it is better to save your bitcoin for another bull run that might happen soon. Although we don't know when the bull run will come, at least, we can prepare for the coming. And it is better to use the other altcoin to buy a lottery ticket, but that is only if the site has the option to buy the ticket using the altcoin.

Well sometimes I buy some tickets on the dice sites I am playing but I am not that big fan of lottery. Changes are mostly very small to win but on the other hand if you win, it's mostly big. But for now just some tickets for fun.

It is good if you are buying tickets with money for lottery but it don’t allow myself to spend my bitcoin to buy any ticket as  I am fully satisfied with my investment in bitcoin I know it will certainly increase in price and it will make mg future good but in case of lottery earning will be all depending on luck.

There are already platforms where you can buy lottery tickets with BTC or other crypto. I think you are just placing an advert for your site under development, which isn't bad but this is not the best section. What unique features do you plan embedding? What makes your platform different from others? Those are some points you could have buttressed.

Yes like most casino games it all depends on luck, but with lottery you need a lot of luck. Changes are way too small. Even I prefer hunting 9900X on a dice site then trying that in a lottery.

Not only that, lottery results does takes time it might require small amounts into tickets but we know the odds are almost impossible to hit it up.
Gamblers are mostly impatient that's why we can barely see lottery sites running as of today. Most people likes fast and instant results that's why Dice games
is more preferable.

That is what we called indirect selling! Lol. Many people are doing that and I am also betting lottery using bitcoin payment. If OP wants to promote his site. Try to create a topic that will be seen in gambling discussion. Probably, many users here will look with the thread and keep asking the usage of your site. It definitely looks good but I don't rely easily to the new one.

It's hard to entrust your money with others if you can do it by yourself buying outside of your house and go to the lottery outlet, it's safer even your just going to use small amount of money buying tickets but it's still better when you are sure holding the tickets in your hands while waiting for the actual lottery draw and see if you get the winning combo.

of course.. why not!!!  
instead, I'm more confident about lottery platforms that accept payments via Bitcoin than traditional ones because not complicated and must go to an ATM or payment via Bank... usually the platforms that accept payments via Bitcoin certainly adopt the blockchain system. *although there are still some platforms that not use the blockchain system but accept payments via Bitcoin*   :)

When I observed a promising lottery offer I must buy using bitcoin as long as there's a cheaper betting amount needed. Hopefully more online lottery will be using cryptocurrency soon, and if the advantages will provide each gamblers the assurance of winning luckily that could be great for cryptocurrency to increase adoption.

if there are already other services like yours and you offer much cheaper options, then go for it, judging from your statement this is going to be the first lottery online purchase using Bitcoin, well congratulations if it is, just market it nicely I'm sure this kind of program will be welcome here in this community.

For now, I think it is not better to buy lottery online with bitcoin because the bitcoin price is moving to a higher rate. Besides that, you can waste your bitcoin for something that needs the luck to win the money. It is better to hold your bitcoin for a while to see how much bitcoin price will increase so you can make a profit in fiat. But that will be up to you because only you that will know what is best for yourself and I hope you can think what the advantage and the disadvantage for yourself is. And don't regret if somehow you cannot win the lottery because that game will need the luck to win.

Agree with you id you will spend your bitcoin to get lottery ticket then your money will rely on luck but id you will keep your bitcoin holding it will give you allot of profit for your future. We should not spend our bitcoin keep holding is the best strategy to but you should try your luck buy lottery ticket with fiat.

Lottery tickets are so cheap that this little money spent won't impact your investment portfolio. What does it matter if you spend $5 on a ticket or gamble it away? If bitcoin jumps by 100% to the previous ATH you will only earn $5 on this investment.

Gambling big is risky but lotteries are popular because they are cheap and offer high reward with low probability of success. I would buy a ticket because why not?

You're right this isn't the best way to spend money but it offers a similar risk-reward ratio to dice or most other games. A 5 dollar ticket gives you a low chance to win a million but a dice game gives you high chance to win another 5 dollars. If you look at it from a perspective it's all the same especially when you lose your five on a 50% dice roll.

It could be good for some people to buy lottery but only for those who are lucky by birth according ti me it is really bad to put your saving on risk of luck. I also buy some lottery but not on the  risk of looking my future saving it is increasing and there is no reason for me to change my investment from bitcoin to lottery .

I have not tried buying an online lottery ticket in Bitcoin payment. I do not want to waste my precious Bitcoin on it. I know that lottery is almost impossible to win, only one in a million of chances. I might even run out of Bitcoin first before having the chance to win. So I would rather hodl my Bitcoin for a sure profit. I can buy it with my fiat though, but never with my BTC.

Yeah, holding bitcoin for future will be the best choice for us because we see that bitcoin price now increase so it will have a chance to grow more in this month or the next month. But you can use a small part of satoshi to buy lottery if you want to test your luck and you are curious with the prizes but remember, holding bitcoin will be worth for now.

If there is a lottery outlet near us, then there is no use buying it online, but if you want to bet on a lottery located in another country, then this is a good option to use, some people are betting in a US-based lottery coming from another country, because the prize is 10 to 50 times bigger than what their local lottery is offering.

It's all about the prize there's still  many gamblers who are willing to take the risk when it comes to the amount of possible rewards, buying lottery tickets which is offered from another country might be much higher especially when you are in a third world countries, gamblers who's willing to take that risk will be glad to have another channels for betting online.

I had a lot of old btc when I started gambling. Coins that I acquired for nothing and at the time, they were also worth pretty much nothing. Since I hadn't yet grown accustomed to considering BTC as real money back then I gambled it all away. Boy! Now when I think about the amount of money I lost... I could have had a yacht :D

With that said, it's always easier to gamble when you acquired the tokens used with practically nothing. Had it been my hard earned money, maybe I would have acted a little differently.

Everything will all boil down to how much? I will have to take off from there, weighing on whether it is all worth it or just a waste of my BTC. I sometimes bet on lottery combinations outside crypto. It's because every combination is so cheap and yet the jackpot prize is so huge. There are times when each combination would only cost me cents while the winning prize is in millions. That's definitely worth the try. If this is how this lottery of yours goes, I don't mind shelling out some sats for it.

Why you assume that you will lose your money before you even started with gambling? And what`s the difference what coin you use if you are spending money, money that you can spend for buying more bitcoins? If you think about saving bitcoin it`s ok, but for bitcoin to grow people need to use it, if everyone holds what can happen with bitcoin in next couple years?
What you are suggesting is ok just cause transaction fees can be high when you send bitcoins, sending alts can be much cheaper. And you shouldn`t gamble with last money in your wallet, spend some for buying and saving, the rest can be used for gambling or some other fun activity, end line is use bitcoins for something, it`s how we can make bitcoin economy to grow.

It never crossed my mind too buying lottery tickets using my hard earned bitcoins.I would not take the risk because i know it takes millions of people to win the jackpot prize in lottery so buying it more often will only add to your previous losses.And the fact that i'm not into lottery and the whole thing about it makes me feel safe that i will not lose though.

I think the problem with lottery online is not the payment, many people have no problem buying lottery using bitcoin. Because that's not the main point. what matters is the trustworthiness of these gambling sites, whether they really pay and give prizes to random and real winners or not ?

So you are going to be a third party buying a ticket in a physical store, I don't think I will go for that it's not about the store that you are going to set up only for but for all the store that offer similar service, buying a lottery ticket is a personal matter for me, it should be private and no one should know the name of who purchased the winning ticket, for security and privacy reason.

The lottery is very popular here in our country, and whenever somebody hits a jackpot people are asking the region of the winner, the winner's life will be at risk and besides he might know how to handle such huge amount making him vulnerable.

You are right. In the old days, I guess people can gamble with a lot of bitcoin in one bet, but I don't think that they will repeat to make one bet with a huge bitcoin because the bitcoin value now has increased. But perhaps, there will be a gambler who uses huge bitcoin amount to bet because they still have a lot of bitcoin and they don't mind to lose some amount of bitcoin in one round. But to buy the lottery online with bitcoin or not, it will depend on each gambler because I think they can know the risk of using bitcoin to playing gambling.

I don't think I can do that in my location, there are so many lottery outlets here in every corner of our street here, it's so popular here in our country, and most of all I don't want to be my number to be in someone else's database.

If I won I want to keep it for myself I want a quiet life, I will be targetted by corrupt and unscrupulous people if they expose it.

It's easy to buy lottery system but it is not very easy to win a lottery.
People want to invest in something which can give them grantee good return. The lottery is something which is too risky and that's why I don't recommend people and friends to invest in lottery or buy in lottery.

I think Bitcoin can and should be used for everything ideally.    The conundrum you have is that if Bitcoin were used for nothing, just stuck away doing nothing then its worth would surely drop and might even prove inferior to the alt coins you mention.

Bitcoin is transactional,  some ancient asset like gold is what they store in the 1930's in a vault and never move since.   The reason they can play this trick with gold is with the company that owns it and just retains the value on a balance sheet, like a cheque they keep writing out gold notes to give to people at varying prices.   Bitcoin I dont think can be stored away in this way, it is transactional.  

The Bitcoin is both the asset and the means to settle the balance of the trade, never using Bitcoin would mean you lose the value I'm fairly sure as it is not centralised or monetised via notes of credit.

If you have a decent level of logic you would not quote this OP, on the contrary you did. ;D

The OP is shamelessly promoting this telegram channel. Join it at your own risk because these types dont end up well for anybody except the group owner who in a shady manner is going to scam all these members either immediately or later on. Playing your luck does not have any shortcut be it lottery or dice game. You wont become a millionaire but just buying some tickets. Get a job and work hard to earn a living and make a name for yourself.

If life was so easy then everyone would be buying lottery tickets all day. But that does not happen. So go figure. :D

Be careful when you want to play online lottery on any website without reading a review from here because that will get you into a scam. It is better to choose online lottery which the members suggested so we don't have to worry about anything. But I think it is better if you can find a local lottery in your city so you can buy the ticket directly and you can see the result later.

Will you send me spam if I leave my email address in your survey?

Only if I have a 100% chance of winning by playing all the possible combinations and the prize is much higher than my cost! ::)
But even then... I'm kinda bored to go through all that trouble, so I won't! ;D
