Simple FOMO returns in a new round! The rules are slightly different than the previous round. The game is a game theory based lottery that rewards both the last person to enter the lottery and now the person with the most entries when the deadline expires. There will be 2 winners. Each time a person enters the game, the deadline is potentially extended based on how close that person is to the deadline. Also, as more people enter the pool, the cost to enter the game increases. For this round, it is advantageous to enter the game earlier as all entries are equal and earlier ones cost less.

The game itself is a smart contract that is ran on the Ethereum blockchain therefore it cannot be changed or manipulated by the creator of the contract. Any and all transactions to the contract are publicly viewable. There is no house advantage.

The initial pot size is 2 ETH.

The initial cost to enter is 0.001 ETH.

The initial deadline is Nov 16th, 2019 14:10:54 UTC.

Simple FOMO is a new game theory based lottery that rewards the last person to enter the lottery with the entire pot when the deadline expires. Each time a person enters the game, the deadline is potentially extended based on how close that person is to the deadline. Also, as more people enter the pool, the cost to enter the game increases. The entire game is ran on a publicly viewable trust-less smart contract.

The initial pot size is 2 ETH.

The initial cost to enter is 0.001 ETH.

The initial deadline is Nov 8th, 2019 11:16:00 UTC.

haha nice to see the code up for this (i like the name lol)
back in the day when ETH was just getting dapps up, this type of one was one of the first
it was quite popular too :)
im not a gambling man so i likely wont participate but good luck man some people love these type games  :D

Thanks for the input. I guess we will see what sort of attention this one obtains.

can you add a countdown on your website?
so every user can see when will the lottery ended and can you explain how the extension time works?
because i saw that there is 2 time, the first one each transaction/deposit extension time increase 10 minutes then there is 0.5 second increase time
so what is the correct extension time?

Why not just simply read up on the mechanics and know their teminologies?

I'm still wondering if there were a lot of players participating in this kind of game. The time is getting closer and they have 4 days left before we know who is the real winner.

Is there a way to know who's the winner OP, after the game? Do you have a list of players name on that game?

Looks sketchy. I've had experience with ETH based lotteries Dapps and it hasn't been good so far. I was come short and unlucky. For this reason, I won't participate.


I think he was just confused. Since the # of participating users are yet to be known, the final extension time so he was just asking to know. On a lighter note though, I support the suggestion about adding a timer to the website /github page.

Since no registration is required to play, there is no list of players. You can see the address of the winner on Etherscan though when the game is over.


You can see all the game information on Etherscan including total entries. There is a countdown clock on the website that becomes visible once you log into MetaMask.

Very creative. I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of participants though i don't expect the bulk of them to join until close to the end of the deadline. That's when the real competition will start. At this point people who are interested to join would probably wait out until the last day. At least that's what i'm planning to do.

Knowing about smart contracts it would automatically sent out winning amounts to those users who do able to win the lottery.Its all in the contract thats why
such list cant really be seen but somehow you can check out those addresses that had joined up the game.

These kind of games are one famous in the past but now it seems it isnt already getting some attention as you can see there's only few made up a deposit.

For op, if someone would able to win that 2ETH with among to those small number of players then you would refresh up the balance ?

It is an interesting idea, but with all the gas fees, it is almost impossible to win be the last one. But on the other hand, it is pretty interesting type of gambling, which makes fun and gives an opportunity to win some ETH.

Has anyone audited the source code? I can't read code myself so i would like to know that the developers are not able to empty the contract by themselves. Also this should go under gambling threads imho.

Automated static analysis was performed to search for vulnerabilities in the contract; however, no third-party audit has been performed due to cost/time issues. I suggest you counsel a coder friend to help you understand the contract so you can make an informed decision to enter. There is no ability for the developer to drain the pot as their only functionality is to change the fee address.


Funding a Round 2 depends on the interest level of Round 1, which is TBD.

Yeah, thanks i know, but i am not auditing it for you because of the same reasons, but it would be helpful for your reputation as a hyip project, there has been scams before. And if you are unable to find that move topic link to move this to gambling, it's down on the left:

You're welcome.

This game is quite interesting, like to be honest this is still subject to manipulation by the developer because he controls everything here, but I like to see who is going to be the winner and if they can keep this application clean from manipulation, but yes this works like a Ponzi Scheme, but the difference is the one that comes in late is the winner.

here is the explanation kabayan ,i think the entrance fee are safer as the team has nothing in control of the funds.



i think i this is cool and will try to participate now lol

I'm going to write a post-game analysis once it ends that should provide details on how the game was played.

Goodluck to Everyone playing at this time. I'll be joining the next round ( if there's any thing). The problem with ETH based dapps games is that people don't trust them anymore. So a lot of us are expecting feedback from people playing the first round. How much is in the lottery pot now?

I have to be honest, I like the rules. They are simple and straight to the point. There are no other complicated mechanics for interested players. But why is this not reaching a wider audience? 0.001 ETH is pretty low already for the chance of winning more than a couple of ETHs. I am interested to join but only if I have all the available time that I want. I don't want to be contributing ETH to other people. Lol. I want to join and win.

I hope you don't disappear with collected money.  ;D

But ok, now seriously, I would like to know how you want to prove who won and that it is not you?

The benefit for Ethereum smart contract games is that there is no mechanism for the contract creator (the house) to have an advantage in the game. I would have to play by the same rules as everyone else with no advantage. This is a smart contract lottery, therefore the players are anonymous. The winner of the game would have to come forward for us to know who he/she is. Probably the best way you can try to check it yourself would be to follow the transaction history of the winning address.

Simple FOMO Round 1 has ended!

The winner (0xc54100fc034d412c21ba92ccf2d916374ac22555) has claimed a pot size of 2.190125 ETH. A more detailed analysis is to come.

Round 1 came to an end about 5 hours after the initial deadline.

Here is the game contract on Etherscan:
https://etherscan.io/address/0xa5a9B6a783D17C15822D3e70dbb1E59D736284eF (https://etherscan.io/address/0xa5a9B6a783D17C15822D3e70dbb1E59D736284eF)

The game's original pot was 2 ETH and its original deadline was Nov 8th, 11:16:00 UTC. By the end of the game, the pot increased to 2.190125 ETH and the deadline was extended to Nov 8th, 15:14:55 UTC, which is about 5 hours extended from the initial deadline. The winning address: 0xc54100fc034d412c21ba92ccf2d916374ac22555 put about 0.096 ETH into the game throughout various entries to be eventually rewarded by a 2.094125 ETH profit. Initially this player had competition mostly from address: 0xB74D5f0a81Ce99aC1857133E489bC2b4954935fF, who almost won the pot earlier but another player entered in the last minute which prevented that. 0xB74D5f0a81Ce99aC1857133E489bC2b4954935fF then stopped participating the game.

After a few hours, no one else bid against the winner leaving that person holding the entire pot. Possible reasons for this could be that potential entrants have been burned by similar games in the past and decided to skip or that they felt they had no chance against a person potentially using a bot. Those who had entered only to be beat shortly after entering may have felt a sense of what is the point and decided to forego the next time. All in all, the winner of this game had more determination to win than others playing thus reaping the reward.

Based on the high interest, Round 2 is coming soon.

So you want to say that your lottery differs from the normal ones in that you pay out prizes out of your own pocket?

I wish the winner has also a bitcointalk account so that he will come forward himself and testify that he indeed won this contest. And I hope he is not a newbie like you. I love this contest and its mechanics, and I also think a lot are also appreciating this but many have some doubts and reservations about how legit this is. A little assurance is needed for them for sure. With that, this will for sure increase the participants.

The legitimacy is confirmed by the smart contract itself. If you look at the previous round, the winner won the game without any foul play. No one bid against him/her therefore he/she won. There is no administrative overhead or oversight. Only trust in Ethereum's EVM is required really.

Current Game Stats:
Current Pot Size: 2.45435 ETH (about $459.53 USD)
Total Entries: 46
Current Entry Price: 0.021 ETH - Price increases by 0.005 ETH every 10 entries
This game now rewards the person who enters the most and the last person to enter so there is an advantage to enter the lottery earlier when the cost is still low.

Simple FOMO Round 2 has ended!

The winner (0xbdc8542fe776f8712afc70b2bd147fdd0115ad54) has claimed a pot size of 6.57275 ETH. This person ended up being both the top entrant and the last player of the game.

It looks like reward rised 3 times just from first round to second. Congratulation!

But I have question about the final of first round:


Can you explain why original deadline was extended?

The game automatically extends when entries are made near the deadline.
