Update: Fixed some issues on the provably fair dialog. That would have been an easy bug bounty, you couldn't set client seed so the game wasn't provably fair  Also changed a few things on backend that should speed thigns up a little. Still not as fast as it could be yet as I've not moved to the proper server yet. Working on divest and finishign chat now. |

You will email users when site go live again?
Yeah I will. How much is the reward for testing? I have been a software tester for 2 years, so maybe I can find some bugs for you to earn more bitcoins.  Undecided. Will mostly be in the form of reward points on the site. The greater the contribution the greater the rewards. Hoping to have preview 2 finished this weekend. |

Passwords must have at least one non letter or digit character. ---> Password must contain at least 1 special character eg: !@#*&% This is one of the worst approaches in UX. Just allow users to create their passwords freely. I've had a few people mention this now. I'm not sure what the problem is as it forces you to create a stronger password. The amount of people that get their accounts hacked on gambling sites could have it prevented if they used a strong password. Saying that though, I assumed sites like Bitfinex, Bitstamp and Polo all forced this rule but it turns out they don't. Would like more feedback on this. because many players are using password managers and if their settings are ,say "no special characters" their passwords,as strong as they might be,wll not be accepted so they would have to go and change the setting,delete the old generated password,generate a new one,change settings back etc. i.e. nuissance also it doesn't really make your password stronger,it is mostly the length and the uniqness of the pass that matters: p@ssword1 will get accepted but it is by no means a strong password Yeah that's valid point. I'll remove that requirement on the next version I upload. |

Your example is correct. That's how the wagered commission worked on the old BetKing. We also took 25% of profit weekly too.
This will be changed though as I've developed a new commission system. Though it still works out to be effectively 50% commission.
I'll have a help page on with the investment details and how the calculations work like last time.
I'll wait for the help page, see if I can understand the details completely. Not necessarily as an investor, but I've been curious about it for a while. I felt rich, so I invested 200 fake Bitcoins. The Divest button doesn't work though. It's called a Feature now on the tracker, not a bug, so I'm not sure if it's a bug or just not ready yet. In the final version, will it still be possible to invest Free Coins? It's a nice way to see how investing works, please keep this option in. I just tried to divest the fake bitcoin but i cant do that, about the risk what is the highest risk for investment there ? since there is no option for the risk like 0.5x/1x/2x/10x/100x Yeah as listed on the github issues page divest feature is not live yet. The highest risk is 10. I will be adding a dropdown of choices in like the old site had. Thanks |

For now the commission is set to quarter of the wagered amount as the previous BetKing had.
What does this mean? Example 1: 1 Bitcoin is invested by A. 100 Bitcoin is wagered. You get 25% commission of 1% house edge of 100 Bitcoin (=0.25 Bitcoin for you), A gets whatever is left (positive or negative)? Correct? I don't understand the details yet. How does it keep track of my share of total invested and wagered? Also "Risk 0.5" needs some explanation. It's nice to be able to test investing with "fake" money BTW. When I go to http://bkp1.azurewebsites.net/, I sometimes get this, for example when I click "Free":  You can see I'm logged on. If I log off and on again it works. I can't figure out how to reproduce it with certainty. Under Investments, layout scaling fails when the browser isn't wide enough.  Your example is correct. That's how the wagered commission worked on the old BetKing. We also took 25% of profit weekly too. This will be changed though as I've developed a new commission system. Though it still works out to be effectively 50% commission. I'll have a help page on with the investment details and how the calculations work like last time. Not sure what your login issue is at the moment but will look in to it. Thanks. Also will note the scaling issue. |

Awesome looking stuff here
Thanks! You can actually test playing now too. Because it's a test site and I'm adding, changing things etc there's sometimes times where it is down or not working properly but if you check back later things should be ok. Betting was off for a few hours there but all abck now. What is the latest ETA for launch?!  No specific date yet but the plan is this month. Should have Preview 2 uploaded with latest features and fixes this week. Would be great to have more feedback/testing and code contributions on our github page |

Small update. Added bet shortcut buttons for 1/2, 2x, min, max. Also when you make a bet the current tab chages to my bets. (there are two small issues that need updated for these features but they are open on github and should be done soon  ) |

Will the new launch be open to depositing for investment or will that be through the old ICO?
It will be the standard old investment feature. Deposit and invest/divest whenever you like. In multiple currencies. Awesome, investment will be in your dice games, all your games, or all apps and games? All apps and all games. Though we're only launching dice at first. Also not had many test creating apps yet so that might take a while for people to start using. |

This new reboot of the entire site under new management or the same as before? If under new then who is running it now? Just wondering that is all.  No new management. Still me (dean). Promise I'll be less strict with the chat rules this time though |

There was an issue logging in to an app for a bit there. It's fixed now.
Fixed the provably fair icon loading too.
Working on chat now.

I'll add to the list  You must be login to make a bet Typo: Remove one word. User stats tab
Shouldn't this update realtime when I place another Bet? Without realizing it, I was playing "Free" instead of "Bitcoin" while looking at Stats. It's confusing:  Maybe you can use your own logo for "Free":  Hi Yeah I had added the issue to the github list for update stats in real time. Also the icon one Could use the crown, good idea. That or name it BKCoin? I'l fix that typo. Cheers |
