interesting. quick and easy. rewards/award system adds a bit of flavor to a simple game. Good job. Will check it out more later on.

fairly elegant and enticing but i would make it clearer that this is your personal page so the user doesnt have the feeling the bitcoins are being sent out unaccountably.

This is cool, but requiring a deposit first and having an account is a non-starter IMHO. If you can make it work more like Satoshi Dice does that will help.

Thank you, good point! Maybe a warning before the user leaves the page?

An account is not required. As soon as you enter the site, a personal secret URL is generated for you. This is your "Account". You can then continue playing as long as you have the URL. It works the same way instawallet.org does on that regard.

no the issue is 1st impression so its just text needed on landing

"no account needed this is your personal page" kind of thing

Changed "Deposit Address" To "Personal Deposit Address"

Thanks! Any other suggestions are appreciated :)

I dig the game  :)

Here's an overview of my experience & thoughts
  • I started with .001 bitcoins
  • I ended with .00109 bitcoins
  • I played 16 spins under the alias Inspired Eye.


Here's what I liked about the game
  • It's easy on the eyes, nice design
  • Awards are well thought out and gave me an additional sense of achievement.
  • 2x penguin, I hit the 2x mark twice and each time a happy penguin poped up, this hit all the right dopamine responses in my brain and encouraged me to keep going

Here are areas for improvement
  • Easier bookmarking of the page.  It'd be nice to have an easily identifiable email link, or something else, that connects people back to the page. I want to play, leave, and come back, which is sort of a pain if I don't email myself a link to the unique URL the site generates.
  • When trying to cash out I get an error, that I need 2 confirmations of the transaction before I can get my funds back (image below). There are ways around this, see satoshi dice for examples.  As a user, I'd like to pull my money in and out instantly, that'll keep me coming back, otherwise I'll get frustrated and look for alternative gambling sites.

Overall, solid execution, looking forward to watching your site grow and playing more Satoshi Circle!

Played over 100 spins, love the penguins.

Started with 0.25BTC
Up, down, stopped with 0.35BTC.
Like the awards. Need more of them.
Need something to do with reward points. 
Good design, nice layout, not a lot of flashing graphics to induce seizures...I like that.

Well done.

Thank you so much for that review! We are glad you like the game.

We will definitely come up with a bookmarking system, great idea!

The confirmation rule is in place to protect us in case of another blockchain fork in which a user can perform a double-spend attack on us. The two confirmations gives us enough time to pause withdrawals in case of a fork. For the time being we will retain this limit.

Thanks!

So you mean you'd like to have to make a deposit every time you spin the wheel? That doesn't sound efficient. And the account is just a secret link you need to keep your balance. You don't even need a user name and password and there's no signup required. Seems pretty simple to me.

The official threads for SatoshiCircle are https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167490.0 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253079.0.
But the owners haven't been online for a few months already...
