Nice to meet you. I have a habit of glancing through when I am in the mood, I did so here but must have overlooked your part in providing forum support.
Is everything alright with the OP?
Yeah, wetsuit is fine, just too busy to look after everything on his own now so I'm helping him. There was someone else doing the forum before me and wetsuit hasn't done that bit for years. That last active date must be when he covered me for a long weekend on a beach.

The OP last signed in early July 2018. What is going on with this site?
I've been doing forum support for the last 6 months which can be seen from a cursory glance at the thread.

@TheQuin I have a small idea like the one below but I don't know whether this can be applied or not
we can combine simple image and math for example like this we can ask the users who will claim the free rolls game to enter the results of the math operation from the last 1 digit of their balance according to the instructions in the captcha
example 1 instructions in captcha: "your last digit + 2" then the correct answer for someone with a balance of 0.04497642 is "4"
example 2 instructions in captcha: "your last digit * four" then the correct answer for someone with a balance of 0.04497642 is "8"
but someone who has a balance with the last digit "0" if he gets a mathematical operation "*" then the result will always be "0" so maybe we should only use "+" and "-" in the captcha
with the last digit of the user balance I think it will make "a little" sure that the person who completes the captcha is the owner of the account (a bit similar to the checksum)
of course it won't last forever they will definitely look for new ways to integrate so we have to change the method in a certain period, for example 1 or 2 months this will be a little like how Monero is fighting the ASIC device
but again I don't know if this is possible or not
From previous experience, it would take a matter of a few hours for them to adjust.

the lottery prizes are low now
Yeah, great isn't it. We've had a lot of success reducing abuse and these prize levels reflect real users. It is still a very good prize, 0.40743557 BTC is $2,640 right now, considering a ticket only costs 1 Satoshi.

You may check for yourself where I am vs other guy originating based on IPs or whatever methods to track
I can't and the forum would not make that information available as they respect peoples privacy. It just seems a remarkable coincidence that someone would turn up and quote the imbecile troll's diarrhoea when everyone else has got bored of him. As to our game, it is provably fair and that means you can prove to yourself that you are not being cheated. I suggest you do some research into that. It sounds like you have experienced a connection issue. That in no way affects the result of any bet as the result is purely determined by the seeds.

That'd be really hard to do though... you need a lot of pictures...
When I was searching to implement cap that I found botdetect which is open source but then you'd still need a lot of images (or tamper with all the images they give you).
The real problem is there really isn't anything a human can do online that you can't program a computer to do.

a few days ago I tried to find out about how botnets work through captcha solver I think it's almost impossible for them to make a profit from free rolls if they can't use the lottery they get from free rolls, unless they get a special discount. because the cheapest price that I found showed almost the same price as the free rolls game provided (1 USD per 500 captcha) but I don't know if there is a captcha solver that offers a cheaper price
There is one provider that gives a 50% discount on that price if the solve matches our domain name. Those are just retail prices and bulk discounts are available. I also know someone that has his own captcha solving server which is free (other than hosting costs). I'm sure many others do as well. It is real problem that there isn't an effective captcha on the market and Google don't address the design flaws in theirs.

Nope, you will not be like all the other sites, you will be in a better position to be competitive with them. A 1% reduction will already place you in a better position to compete with other gambling sites. When you changed the business model from a faucet site to a gambling site, you effectively changed the original concept and the original goal for this site. When you were mostly a faucet, you had to subsidize the faucet payouts with the gambling income, but now you are re-defining yourself as a gambling site and that changes your target market. Gamblers wants a low house edge and a fun experience. <Do you think the Multiplier is a fun experience?> ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) The house edge was changed to its current level within 2 weeks of the launch of the site. The volume of business we do compared to the other sites is a good indication that gamblers are happy with it. Reducing it by 1% would give us a 20% reduction in income and we would have to decrease rewards and benefits by 20% to pay for it. That's not a change I am in favour of. It is working great as it is and I'm not looking for ways to break it.

No result for Lottery No 172, I hope all is fine. waiting for update.
yes normally the lottery ends in my timezone at 3pm clock but now its 10pm XD And since hours i see this XD LOTTERY ROUND 172 ENDS IN 0Days 0Hours 0Minutes 0Seconds regards Did not find result for round 172, and now 173 started.. There was a technical glitch and it didn't automatically run. It is resolved now and just means the last round was a little longer than usual.

No there isn't a way to cancel it. Their support told me that in 2015 anyway when I accidnetally withdrew my doge to the wrong address ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) . thought so. oh well, I'll just have to send it back to my deposit address Doge works slightly different. On Freebitco.in you can just not acknowledge the email and it will cancel. Yea, count is all zeros at the moment, so it was not reset after the Lottery. http://prntscr.com/kv3mnn So, I think Wetsuit will my total lottery ticket number was just resetted about an hour ago, so it seems he (or the system) sets cut off time at 11:59:59 pm UTC time was it intentionally changed and forgot to adjust the clock timer or just a glitch in the system? It was a technical glitch and it just didn't trigger for some reason and needed to be done manually. It just means the last round was a little longer than usual.

Is there a Problem with the Lottery? Countdown is finished and no information on Twitter?
There does look to be some delay. I have alerted wetsuit but if that can't be rectified then we will do what we did the last time we had a technical failure on the lottery and refund all the tickets.

is there a way to cancel a pending slow withdrawal? just right after I made a withdraw, I lost my left over balance ![Lips sealed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/lipsrsealed.gif) this is the second time this month the first time was a bit better, I can hold for 2-3 days before I busted maybe just coincidence... Yes, just don't click the link in the confirmation email and it will automatically cancel after one hour.

A reminder that you have to post a screenshot of the FREE ROLLS page showing your winning roll to be eligible for the $5 bonus payment. See below: Nice win and well done for posting the correct screenshot of your FREE BTC page as requested in the instructions. For the others a reminder that the rolls history doesn't count.

Yes, I know that and thank you very much but in the end they will stop playing because they lose or if they win they will stop also to defend their victory, because if they continue to play in the end they will lose also by the house edge because gambling is about probability as you explained before
so honestly I prefer new referrals continuously, because as far as my experience new referrals make a much larger contribution and slowly decline until they finally stop.
Not all of them. Some gamble regularly for years on end. what do you mean by "having a second person"?
Me ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I taking a much more active role so that wetsuit has more time for strategy and development.

Onto the topic, I think yes it would be good to see the house edge a bit lower and people would be more interested, if you can get everything with just a 3% edge then that's even better than the 5%.
That's 40% reduction in income. That would mean a 40% reduction in spending. That would mean we were just like all the other sites. But when your chef quits you have to change the way you run things to keep up your reputation ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) . I apologise for touching some sort of soft spot here but clearly, reducing the house edge to 3% would make it a greater site to play on and also mean you'd giveaway more lottery tickets, meaning, if people buy them, you go in profit if they try and get the same percentage each round or something. He hasn't quit, he's taken on extra help as his business model works so well it is now too much work for him alone.

Yes Maybe I'm not a big referral whales that have brought in huge income but I am also a referrer What I feel is that there are no other sites that give a huge referrer income like this
But unfortunately botnets have ruined everything I hope freebitco.in finds new innovations to prevent botnets more effectively without reducing referrer income
We actually increased referral commission rates from 0.25% to 0.40% of wagered amount recently. We certainly have no plans to reduce it and I think that if we did it would be unfair to those that have already invested in advertising us. We're constantly working on better ways to combat the cheats and simply having a second person dealing with it is already yielding some good results.

I disagree. Dropping the house edge will pull the customer base you should be targeting, not the faucet suckers that are sucking the place dry at the moment. Freebitco.in is not a faucet site anymore, so there is no reason why we should add higher referral bonuses to attract these non-gamblers. I think gamblers are looking for sites with the lowest house edge and by dropping the house edge, we would be drawing in the target crowd that we should be targeting. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I disagree with your disagreement. There a few big referral whales that have brought in a huge income to us over the years and they continue to advertise and pull in new customers. I think our turnover numbers compared to the low house edge sites shows that there is a big market for running the site the way we do. Abandoning our successful business model and going to compete in an already overcrowded sector isn't something that's going to happen.

sorry for that yes sure, but there should be solutions from your side to change the email assigned with the account or any other ways
There is. You can send me a Bitcoin signed message from the Bitcoin address in the profile (default withdrawal address) requesting the email change. How to sign a message?!

where are admins for freebitco.in are you exist? i am not receiving any confirmation emails from you regarding withdraws or any other services, i wrote many tickets and no answer come on guys are you legit or not solve the problem user id 7955433 email danigreage@hotmail.omI'm right here and I replied to your PM a full 5 hours before you posted this. There is nothing wrong with the email system and your email provider is not bouncing the emails back to us so they will most likely be in your spam folder.
