It's not just VPNs and proxies. All IP addresses have a risk rating attached to them. Is it your home internet connection, mobile or a work connection? Can you try another IP address to find out if that is the problem?

That's really a result of the history of freebitco.in. When it was launched it was entirely funded by advertising and there was a 0% house edge dice game just to keep people on the site between free rolls.
Then the bots came and the house edge had to be introduced after a few weeks. Advertisers don't like paying for page impressions that only bots see, so Adsense would no longer allow incentivised sites. Other ad platforms don't pay enough to make them worthwhile.

The difference between us and the other sites is the higher house edge allows us to have much larger giveaways. All the reward points and bonuses, not to mentions the lottery. We giveaway most of the lottery tickets and run that at a loss as the big first prize attracts more users. It is much more a marketing strategy that is common in the bricks and mortar casinos that also use a high house edge to fund such giveaways and jackpots.

You may be aware that we will be rebranding the site to crypteer.com. That is to remove the word 'free' from the name.

From when it happened:


It was disabled while they were still investigating the hack and then just never turned back on. Removing avatars is done from the same page as adding one:


If you are not a Full Member or above you can't get to that page. I think it is just how SMF works rather than deliberate. ie the permission setting to add or remove an avatar is the same thing so you can't grant permission to one without the other.

Changing how much free money we give away is shady and unethical? That's an interesting interpretation.
The botnets don't do it for any other reason than it is easy free money. When we change something to try and stop them (reducing the base reward) they change tactics and we have to react to that. A lot of these changes are experimental to see how they affect the statistics and see what the botnets do to compensate.

We try and make sure that our depositing and gambling customers are not affected by any restrictions. If you have never deposited then you most likely will be.

You don't have to as we do that for you.



Looks like I need more tickets.

There isn't really anything you can do. It is just caused by a packet of data being lost on the internet somewhere between us and you. It doesn't happen very often and the only times it does is because of DDoS attacks.

As I said it is nothing to worry about as it doesn't change any outcomes. The spinning is just an animation.

It is a connection problem. When the numbers keep spinning it simply means you didn't receive the result of the bet. It's an animation that runs locally and starts when you hit the roll button and only stops when you get the result of the bet from the server.

When you reload the page the rolls history will show the result even if the packet of data containing the result didn't reach you the first time.

As it is a provably fair system the result of any bet is determined by the seeds and can not be affected by connection issues. Either the bet was placed and reached the server or it didn't

That was before the 2013 forum hack. That also means it is impossible for them to remove that avatar. In this case, that means they are most likely stuck with someone else's photo.

Either that or they took a few years away from the forum to learn Czech.

I don't think that's what they meant.

They were asking when the initial distribution Merits would be cancelled. That isn't going to happen either as theymos has stated he would not make a change that would result in accounts getting de-ranked.
I understand the frustration of seeing so many high ranked accounts that were already in the hands of spammers when the system was introduced, but that isn't going to be the solution.

Being the best depends on which way you are looking at it. Being easier to solve usually makes it less effective against bots.

This is the wrong thread.

The instructions say to PM a message from an address you staked before your account was hacked to Cyrus. It's too late to stake an address here now. If you have questions about recovering the account start your own thread, don't post here.

That's definitely on the todo list.

I think the 'lol' indicates that they were aware of that. 

They are just saying it would be nice to win.

There are some ongoing changes but it is work in progress at the moment so I haven't got any details.

He is just trying to spam the Youtube channel in his signature. He made such a specular fool of himself when he tried to argue that the lottery wasn't provably fair he's gone with 'casinos are evil' this time as it is an opinion rather than fact-based argument. Facts are not his strong point.


In about 5 or 6 months is the current estimate. The entire codebase is being rewritten from the ground up so it's difficult to know exactly how long that will take.

We don't plan to remove anything, just add new things.

If that is what you think then stay away from casinos.

It's a casino so there is a house edge which makes the odds in the house's favour. That's how casinos work. Congratulations on working that out it must make you feel like an intellectual giant.

Yet again you are completely wrong, at least you are consistent.

What I said is you need luck to win and no betting system can change that. Gambling on random numbers is simply about getting lucky, nothing more or less. Plenty of people do win.

That's pretty much what I said a few hours ago.


We had other adverts after adsense but the site is now a gambling site with a faucet. Unlike any other gambling site we don't mind if people only use the faucet and never gamble.


Faucets have never paid much. Users that keep higher balances and gamble get a lot more from the faucet because of all the bonuses.

Faucets are funded by adverts, they pay you to be marketed at. Our faucet pays you to be marketed at by us with our gambling product. Where did you think all the money to pay the free rolls comes from?

OK, if that's the case you owe me 0.04 BTC for being in your signature campaign.
