Hello everyone!
I, with the help of Escrow.ms (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=76380), will be holding a Bitcoin Raffle!

Information

• End date is one week from now, 19-06-2014, at 20:00 (UTC+1). After that you cannot buy tickets.
     If you buy a ticket after the end date, you won't receive anything.
• Draw will be done on 20-06-2014, around 22:00 (UTC+1).
• Escrow will be done with Escrow.ms (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=76380) using Bit2Factor.org (https://bit2factor.org/).
• Every ticket costs 0.01BTC, every 0.1BTC will be rewarded with 1 free ticket.
• You get a free ticket if someone buys at least 5 tickets and if they use your name as referral in the form.
     Full Member or higher only. This is to prevent abuse of the reward system
• The winners will be picked using Random.org (http://random.org). I will stream the picking so that everybody can be certain that what I do is fair. A link to the stream will be posted at least half an hour before the draw.
     If you have multiple tickets, your name will be entered multiple times.
• I will keep 1% of the winnings for organizing this raffle, keeping it running and to pay for the transaction fee.

Prices

• First price: 50% of the total amount collected (minus the fee)
• Second price: 37.5% of the total amount collected (minus the fee)
• Third price: 12.5% of the total amount collected (minus the fee)

I confirm that I am holding Pass-phrase of the encrypted Private key of 1GoHH1nahJrHmhiFR5GDJgeC6RoeLPxFm2 address which was created through https://bit2factor.org .

Thank you for confirming! I am glad that we can work together on this. ;)

What time is the draw going to be exactly and how is the draw via random.org going to be verifiable? What's to stop you filming multiple times until you get a favourable result?

It's in the post:

I will put a clock next to my screen which will proof that no editing has been done. Or I use Twitch or something like that. Whatever people prefer.

That says end date not raffle is drawn at that time. Can people buy a ticket a few seconds before you're about to do the draw? There should probably be a cut off point for entries and a separate draw time shortly after. And a clock doesn't prove anything in this instance. It's not editing of the video that is a concern really. You could match the live draw time up with a official online clock of some sort I suppose.

I will clarify that, thank you for pointing out. I will just do a livestream of the event so people know for sure that I can't cheat and do it fairly. That should do, correct?

EDIT: Is this better? It is my first raffle after all. :)

Yeah, looks much better now  :D. I wasn't insinuating you would cheat it or anything, but I personally wouldn't be comfortable participating unless the draw was verifiably fair and couldn't be manipulated easily. Best to cover all your bases before as otherwise you're likeky to have a few sore losers complaining after as well  ;D.

Ah good good. I am glad that it's better now. And I know you didn't mean something like that, but asking questions and covering all bases is a good thing, so thank you for helping out ;)

Price is bit to high for me but if i win at cloudbet tonight i will play this :D .

Awesome game here! I will be watching  ::)

I am asuming that you didn't win then, hahaha.

Why watch if you can play? ;D

Yap , im bad at sports betting :D . LOL . Maybe next time :) .

where are the free tickets?

I think you get a free ticket if you buy 10 or 1 if 5 people buy them through your referral link.

Exactly. That is the only way to get free tickets ;D

Why on earth you would want to put a referral down I have no idea. Surely that would lessen the probability of you winning, as they would be getting a free ticket.

Eh, nice raffle... but I doubt you'd get a lot of attention unless you decrease the ticket prices to 0.001 BTC or something like that, I'm sure that more people would participate (including me! :D)

If I don't get any interest in this raffle I will start a new one after 19-6 with a decreased Ticket Price ;)

I think you'd get more attention if there was a fixed price prize. A percentage of zero or not a lot is never appealing. Make it a fixed price and state you need x amount of ticket sales before the raffle is valid, if not, it's void and any money collected will be returned.

Will do that next time! I don't like changing rules while the raffle itself is already in progress. Thanks for the tips!

Prices are "minus the fee" but I can't find anywhere how big fee you take.
So how big fee do you take?
