I was just playing earlier, now the servers seem to be down

Yup, not responding. Is it over?

Looks back up!

It is working fine with me. I have played now and got lost. Hahhaha

Nope, it’s working well on my side. Try changing your browser and the still problem continues then just install and run Ccleaner to clean your old cache files and browsing history. Restarting PC will troubleshoot your problem as I can confirm that website is working well.

Fine for me too. ^smile^ Sometimes these people come under Ddos attacks or they just forget to pay their hosting fees and then they go down for a few hours. < Not just this site, some others too > Life happens some times, so these things slip in. This thread can be closed now, because two people already verified that it's online again.

I will send them a PM, if I have time, to respond to this question.

Edit : Yes, just confirmed that they are under Ddos attacks : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=750760.1780

whenever you want to check the up or down status of a website you visit, first check and online service like "isitdownrightnow.com" to make sure it is not just your problem. if the site says it is up then read more at the bottom of the page how to fix the problem.

but if it said the site is down, first check their announcement topic and if they have it check their twitter, any site online goes down because of server crashes, maintenance, installing new software and a lot of other stuff.

It was ddos attack. Not sure if it's over or will come back.

Visited crypto-games and it opens up however i think it is still expereincing some problem in server or may be another DDOS attack. Unable to load the game completely when trying to play roulette and experiencing some slow response from the site.

Crypto-Games.net has been targeted by  DDoS attacks over the past 48 hours, that's why some users
may be unable to connect to the site. Just continue checking/try to access the site. (It's up for me now).

Seems to me like it's a well-funded attack because of the extremely high-volume.
"They"(attackers) have really spent quite a huge amount for this string of attacks. Tsk.

I dont think there is any problem with crypto-games.net site nor it is down because i have just opened the site an hour ago and it was working perfectly.I opened that again just to check again but every thing is working fine.

Its automated by cloud flare if they are notice any suspicious  in their site automated that the server will down..
He can prevent those who are DDOS  attack cloudflare can help..

No, cloudflare doesn't shut the server down when they "notice any suspicious".

It seems there are still some users with problems.
I'm on the same page as you, I don't have any now and I hardly got some during the last day(s), but others aren't that fortunate.

Seems very unreliable to be tbf. Checked it earlier a few times and the "status" didn't quite fit the actual status of the site.
Not sure if they can handle sites utilizing cloudflare.

Hey lutpin please can you tell us was that a maintenance ? Actually it will be terrific and awesome if they can just post in their official thread about any downtime because you know after so many scams people get worried when any site goes down.

Dogecoin/kewl already confirmed it was a ddos and not a maintenance as seen from the post above.
Here's the post if you missed it.

I also can confirm this now it back online and I have access to my account there without any problem, it was DDOS attack there few hours when it went down but everything was got fixed and running smoothly like before.

It is up now, actually you needn't post this topic, just use it, you will know the situation: http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/

Sure is back up now! Wasn;t down long  :)

Well it was down and it seems it was a DDOS attack. However site it up and running again and bets are running smoothly one again. Did not take long for the admins to resolve the issue. Well done.

Why is that?

Because his website is full of biased reviews and fake articles/interviews

wow s :o

It's just horrible in general. The looks, the financials, the countless spelling mistakes. You can just tell it's made by someone who is either incompetent or just doesn't care.

There are so many better options. And the owner is a child.

That pretty much describes your site :D

Really? What don't you like about it?

Besides the 25 grand you have to pay to get a review that isn't full of either outdated or factually wrong data?

i visited your site and honestly, your review about crypto-games best describes your site and it is obvious that your review is bias

Oh, that was sarcasm. Have never solicited, or ever received, payment in exchange for a positive review. I think some of the information in the review is a bit outdated though -- we have hundreds to get through, so I'm sure you can understand.

What's the bias and what is my motive to publish a "false" bad review about a casino? I genuinely thought it was a bad, untrustworthy casino and felt it would be unethical to give it a recommendation.

I understand opinions differ though. You are free to like it, and you're free to gamble there -- but I'm also free to publish my own opinion of the site.

If you "don't have the time" to correct obvious mistakes, aswell as outdated information, in over a year, maybe you shouldn't be running a site in the first place?

Why did you quote me on something I never said. Lol.

I've been to the site recently too. It's still ugly and broken as hell. Everything in my review is still valid to this day, except that I haven't included some of the new alt-coins they accept. It's still gross, untrustworthy, poorly funded, non-innovative, etc.

I wouldn't go near it.

well, it is not a perfect system but it is decent.
besides I think you visited after the DDoS or after they came back online. if you check it right now you see that there is a part where it says "Last Down" and it is showing "20 hours 13 mins ago" as of the time of this comment.
also I should add that even during a DDoS a site may not go 100% down. depending on the size of the attack it can only be slowed down (may not be the case here though)

Let's take a look at your review: https://thebitcoinstrip.com/crypto-games.html

We're currently offering 5 games: Dice, Slots, Blackjack, Roulette & a Lottery

The number is seven

Nope, DarkGold is not featured anymore. There's Ethereum that was last added, wouldn't call it "widely unknown".

That's wrong, the house edge on dice is 0.8%

Wrong again, stats are public for everyone to have a look.

The maximum win on bitcoin currently sits at 3BTC

It's 10 LTC & 300K Doge

Where exactly would that ad be?

And that's only the quick things I've found.

If you really think listing a wrong house edge is an "unimportant detail" you shouldn't be reviewing any casino, ever.

So only a few unimportant details?

They added a few more alt-coins? Cool.
Some more games than the ones I reviewed? Cool.
House edge is off by 0.2%? OK.
Maximum win raised from a tiny 0.1 BTC to a tiny 3 BTC? Sure. It actually says the max profits (and all their other stats) on the top of the page (updated automatically).

The gist of the review is still valid: Crypto-Games is a crappy website that should not be trusted.

Oh, I remember you. You were the one who conducted an "Exclusive Interview" with the so-called "Huffle-Puff". Wow.  :o

"An Interview With A Bitcoin Hacker" (https://thebitcoinstrip.com/blog/interview-with-a-bitcoin-hacker.html)

And now, as I see it, you make a shitty comment where readers would become curious about the "issues", they visit your site, read your whole "review" (as some of us did). Hmm. Waaaay to advertise and create some traffic huh. Quite ingenious.  ::)

I don't know about your motives or why the bias but, in my book, you certainly don't have the credibility for your "reviews" to be taken seriously, especially with this "Huffle-Puff Interview" . Haha. What a laugh. whatever.
 ;D ;D ;D

At least you wrote name right  ;D

I do hope that you can get these DDOS attacks sorted out soon, still having trouble connecting to the website.
Even on a different computer/connection, still going really slow.

I hope they will just give up after a few days, it seems like multiple Bitcoin related sites have been under DDOS and being blackmailed to make it stop.
Just saw some people complain about it on the Bitcoin Reddit :-/

I'm not aware of any requests for ransom. It seems there are other motives behind it, if any.

The attack already slowed down.

We're about to roll out an update with a few adjustments and improvements, maybe that helps.
As I can see, things are back to normal for most users, sorry to hear you'Re amongst the few which still have troubles to cope up with.

Yesterday the site is also down for me but The site is working for me when i was trying it just right now i dont think if other games will work too.. i already tried dice game and its fine to me..

Update: all games for me are working and i think the DDOS attack are gone..

Seems to be working fine now, might have been my internet connection that was causing it.
And that's strange that they're not asking for any ransom, what's the point of doing a DDOS then?

Maybe competition, but yeah best not go full conspiracy mode here..

Here is honest review:

Pro:
  Site exists for 2 years and haven't skipped town yet.
  Decent betting volume.
  Decent amount of marketing effort.
 
Cons:
  Site is slow (just compare to just-dice.com).
  Graphics design is poor.
  Owners are deeply anonymous, no one knows their real identities, therefore can skip town at any moment.

Might wanna post your "honest review" in the official thread rather than here.
It's kinda secondary what you think about the site to it being down or up, hence I'd consider reviews off-topic for this specific thread.
