Can anyone help me with that

Not sure if you're looking for a particular function along with having the option of accepting bitcoin but the following services should do the job:

- BTCPay (https://btcpayserver.org/)
- Blockonomics (https://www.blockonomics.co/merchants#/page1)

I believe this is the best option

BTCpay is open source, 0% fees, and there plugins for wordpress and other common plataforms. Many users from bitcointalk recommend it.

There are a few payment processors to pick from that you can integrate on your platform to accept Bitcoin. It's debatable which are the best, but I would personally suggest BTCpay and Coinpayments.

I can help you with that. Please Add me on the telegram @VikingLord and let's discuss further.

You basically have 2 options:
1) Use a 3rd party to handle all the payments or
2) Set up a full node and some scripts yourself

Option 1) is easier to do, but has the effect that you are not in control of the private keys and with most providers you have to pay a fee.
Option 2) takes a bit more time to set up, but you will be completely independent and have full control over your private keys. You'd need to write some scripts (e.g. to update your DB whenever you receive a transaction / confirmation).

Which option you want to choose, fully depends on how bit you want to scale your project and whether or not you care about security / privacy.




And don't accept "help" from new accounts.

We accept BTC, ETH, LTC, DAI, USD Coin thru Coinbase. A great service

P.S. Running a full node could be more risky, humans are humans and humans make mistakes.

You're absolutely right cause if human error is not put in check it may affect the OP fund and running the full node also require some computer skillls when implementing the script. However, the best choice for the OP is to make use of https://btcpayserver.org/ and OP still need to do his own research either.

If you can't write a simple script to do the actions you need to be done once a payment is coming in (or confirmed), you are - by far - not able to host a lottery site.
Running a full node is not risky at all.

Obviously you have to check your implementation. Setting up some triggers is not as hard as setting up the rest of the backend of a crypto lottery site.

The choice purely depends on what OP needs and wants.

Can you tell us a bit more about the planned site? The reason why I am asking is this..... too many sites have popped in the past and then just faded away, because they could not provide a system that would validate the "fairness" of the draws.

People need to trust the site for it to be successful, so it will not help even starting the site, if you cannot provide some kind of validation that draws would be legitimate.  ;)

Also what type of Crypto currencies are you going to accept on the site?

Yes, i know but you need to understand that these days there are a lot of project owners who don't any knowledge of CSS, UI/UX etc but own a crypto-related project cause he has the idea and the money to hire people who are professionals in the field.
