[Editing Stopped. Wish to hear from the lord before spending time.]
First of all, this is one of the promising gambling site. The team have taken the right decision to go for the public brainstorming. Although the rewards are too low for this, so far feedbacks are good and productive. The dev team must have gotten much ideas now, though they find it hard to get a winner because of tough competition.

Good luck to the dev team.

I do also prefer to post some feedback based on my personal opinion. Thanks in advance to care to read my ideas.

A. Tutorial/Introduction/Walkthrough

Prior to success of anything in the world, a good marketing is required. You can sell a simple product or a very complicated expensive one. Whatever it is, a simple, elegant, decent and easy to learn documentation in the form of text, video, infographics, sound or other formats that clearly explain what is bitvest.io?, what are the prerequisite?, what each and every part of the website is?, how to play?, how to deposit/withdraw? (you should also be explaining or pointing to "what is bitcoin/altcoin?". This is what we call tutorial/intro.

The advantage of this is, you will be making various formats and instruments to create your tutorial. By publishing the materials online, it reaches various platforms and get wide reach from variety of people which will bring new people to come, see and try what is bitvest.io. For example, a video in youtube and a link in your website and other social media.

[The Help section is good and have fair information about the site. But you need to add more info out of the site. Posting tricks, tips, user experiences can add more value]

B. Appealing Design

It is very important for a new comer, inter and expert in gambling to receive a pleasing experience when he/she visit bitvest.io. The existing design is somewhat a traditional looking basic bitcoin based gambling site design. I really appreciate your time and efforts in bringing the design alive. It is not easy for everyone to bring it alive. You have done it. Great! This must be your first step. Now, you must be analyzing the feel of the design and streamlined use. Some users in their feedback make some suggestions already. You must be making note of it. Besides that, I would like to point out something which should bring all your gamblers again and again to your site and stick to your site.

Simple to say, all of the pages looks messy. It overlaps to other subjects/parts of the website. The existing design is only suitable for dice games. The designs can fit well for primedice but not for bitvest.io.
For spin formats, take a look at satoshicircle.com, which is a perfect design in my opinion. The size, color and formatting of the page looks neat and pleasant to the visitor.
The other two game pages, Slots and Roulette images are oversized. Plinko pages completely awkward. However all of the Plinko sites are looking same to me. Something similar to bustabit design work better for Plinko game. (For plinko this is a general suggestion for all gambling sites)

It clearly visible, you didn't check your website design on all formats. You wouldn't have seen what will happen if a browser is resized. Check yourself, as a designer you will easily understand what to do with the css.

I believe you know docking. Add a docking feature to your website. It enables users to move the items to other places where they find it convenient and easy to handle. This can be applied to Account, Chat,..Help menu and game menu. The users area where Account information, chat, help and other pages are listed must be dockable. This helps the visitor to use the webpage very handy to their needs.

If you enable horizontal chat box, that could be helpful for some visitors who can simultaneously concentrate on chat and game.

You need to have some white space on all sides of the website. This gives good feel. The current design occupies all parts without any space. (I'm not telling html white space. Just telling leave some space there)

By altering the game page design in such a smarter way, you can facilitate two games to be shown simultaneously on the screen. This can help people play two games simultaneously. (May be the next innovation in the gambling)

The whole game screen along with the first 3 bet lines in the bottom must be visible in the page. Users don't need to scroll down to see the bets.

Haha! Why do you need "Welcome to Bitvest" in the Slots game page. You seem to be funny designer. No need.

Introduce customizable skins to all games. Make a contest to design beautiful, smart looking, stunning designs from the public.

Charts - Introduce customizable charts on per user basis. This helps serious gamblers to analyze their own skills(!) in gambling.

C. Basic Tweaks

I would like to suggest some basic tweaks that make me feel to use the website easy and handy.

1. Use a radio button instead of checkbox to switch between bitcoins and tokens.
2. Add option to exchange bitcoins to tokens and tokens to bitcoins. This will help to initiate giveaways, tips and others if any. (Hope you already have this feature)
3. Make captcha simple. As there are rules to get free tokens, captcha may not be that harder. A gambler must always be in a hurry to play. A three number captcha is sufficient all time.
4. I feel Account Stats page should not be in bottom left. I feel it can be dockable at first. If not, place it top right or use right side entirely.
5. I don't prefer "Playing". I think people always search for "How to Play" in google. I would prefer "How to Play" in the Help section.
6. You don't need to always make it visible all of the information in every section. A user on his personal interest can expand and view it. This will reduce page load speed in the future. (If you use a better technology, then don't care about it). For example,
Take a look at Referrals section. Turn off/Minimize Global Earnings, Top Affiliate Earnings at first. If user wishes to see the details, they can turn on. This will reduce the page load in the beginning.
7. Secret URL in the Automatic Account section is not clickable. Add copy to clipboard button.
8. Introduce Minimizing feature in the leaderboard. List top 10 instead of top 3.
9. Lot of information in Stats page. You need to tweak the page so that it looks simple and easy to use. My opinion is :
Create a tabbed section titling - Investments, Results, Use radio buttons to show on/off for global and my data. Also use radio or check button to show data about each game. If you use check button, you can view game results of one game, two games or all games. You should implement adding different game results based on the check box selections. This is easy for users to analyze the stats.
10. I have no comments for My saved Rows page as of now.
11. The ? question mark after Pending in the funds section must include shapeshift information about the delay in the coin delivery.
12. You may introduce Add Bitcoin Address for withdrawal option. This will enable one click withdrawal ability to the user.
13. Add Max. Amount button as in exchanges to enable withdraw all funds in one click. You must show the actual withdrawal amount + fees if any applied to the visitor before processing the transaction.
14. Optionally, you can include Total BTC = Balance + Pending + (Invested Real) + (BTC value of Tokens if applicable).
15. Optionally, include copy to clipboard button before deposit address.
16. Include turn on/off feature to display deposits and withdrawals history.
17. Include/add link to shapeshift price estimation page for advance calculation.
18. Investments section: Proof of Reserves pointing to bitcointalk thread. I would prefer to have a direct page on your website. (I hope in future you will list solvable audting results)
19. I don't understand what is Invested (Real) means. Is there any pseudo investment available for testing purposes?
20. I don't understand the investment info example in the investments page.
If you explain by taking 1 share as 0.25 btc. Show the profit of .25 btc. If you explain by 25 share x 0.25 btc, show the profit for 5 btc.
21. Add max. amount button in the investment section.
22. Add investment calculator in the Investment info section.

Chat box section:
23. Add facility similar to irc or in slack in the chat window. Type first letters of the nick highlight names.
24. Rename !rain command into !help or !rules. I feel it is opt for the use.
25. Add help/rules button in the chat window. It can also be in the form of a command. Nothing else to say as of now.

Account Section:
26. Make Speed and Volume editable text boxes.
27. Bet Filters : Optionals - Show only wins, Show only loss, Show continuous winning/losing streaks
28. Conversion of tokens : Reduce the conversion amount - Users must be able to convert a minimum of 0.0001 btc. This will help lot of small players to try the site.
29. Change "Other Settings" to "Security"
30. "Return to Game" button must close the opened window in the verification page. Instead, it opens the same game in the new window/tab. This is inconvenient to the user.

Saved Rows:
31. Add option to modify rows and save again.
32. Add option to duplicate the saved rows.
33. Help us to name our saved rows.
34. Saved rows option is available to plinko only? Are there any rules or the structure of the game that prevents to save rows in slots, roulette and others?
35. Implement an RTP calculator for all games. This helps users gain more experience in customizing prizes.
36. Roulette game page is completely not good to play. You need to scroll a lot of times between games.

D. Reward System

You should be having excellent reward system already to attract users and keep the existing users. I would like to suggest something to add value to the existing ones, that I feel it could bring more users.

Achiever Rewards

Celebrate achievements starting from small things. Rewards can be small.

1. Reward users who use faucets more.
2. Reward users who achieves small wager limits. You can start from wager amount of 0.0001 btc

11. Reward users who invests.
12. Reward users who gives contradictive comments.
13. Introduce bug bounties
14. Reward users who successfully multiply their wager by x times.
15. Reward users who play multiple games.

E. Chat Commands

Enable commands to play and communicate with the game from the private chat window. Allow players to play all games simultaneously in commands. Implement Turn On/Off Visual animations while playing the game.

For this you need to create a new command line language to the chat window. This will be one of the greatest innovation(!) in the gambling industry. This will enable users to write their scripts to interact with the game. An API functionality for the chat window enables users to integrate different languages and play game from their own programs.

Include commands to deposit, withdraw from chat window. This should also have the facility for shapeshift to deposit using altcoins.
Trade tokens to bitcoins and the same in reverse.

Log/Save/Export chat session history

2. API functionality
3. Auto Withdrawal feature

14. If roulette game rules and structure of the game permits, let players to customize the number arrangement. Also add option to change numbers to letters, symbols or something else. It will be attractive to see.
15. Save customized Roulette pages.
16. Settings page where user can set default game to open when he/she logs in.

5. What if happen to the investment amount in the case I don't have registered username and password and also forget my account url?

H. Missing Information

You need to add information about shapeshift. They may need different time for each altcoin to convert to bitcoin if a user pays with altcoin.
Frequently Asked Questions.
Contacts/Support page to raise tickets regarding issues.

I. What if?
If the user forget automatic account url, there must be options to recover it.
Add a bitcoin address to the site for withdrawal. If the user misses his account url, he may recover his account with the withdrawal address.

J. Sentimental Gambling
Some people prefer to see certain colors, skins and page views of their own sentimental likings. You can make customizable pages to help them to use the site in a fantastic way that they prefer. For example, setup day/light modes.

Some other options are Changing page colors, page themes, different skins for different games.
Added to the above, you can make customizable roulette and spin game themes.

Colors represent different moods of human. Psychologically it helps lot of people.

K. While Playing games

1. The 2 decimal fractions have no meaning for tokens. The fractional part is not used anywhere. So, make tokens undivisible.
2. Change color of the spinner to match the color selection made by the user.
3. Add a text box between 2x and Max to help user to type different multiplier.
4. Use random button to randomize the prize of the selected color.
5. Play all games in the background. Turn on/off animations.This helps low end browsers technically.
6. Include speed slider near to the game. This helps users adjust the speed easily. No need to work hard to click Accounts and then set speed.
7. Include Volume slider on the same page. Also add Mute button.
8. I need a hot key to increase/decrease game speed.
9. I want to see the account stats for every dips in plinko game when I select multiple dips. Right now, the stats is updated after each round. I want to see instant results for every dip. You may add turn on/off feature.
10. User sliders in Roulette to select number of tokens. Though you have a great design work for different number of token selections. Slider is sleek, simple and look smart in the screen.
11. Clear button in the Roulette game clears all of my tokens I place on the numbers. I just want to remove the tokens selectively. How can I do that?
12. What will happen if I place a token between two numbers?
13. Customize colors of the tokens while playing in roulette.
14. While playng slots, I got Big Winner! screen for a while. How long it lasts? It stuck on my screen. I waited for 2 minutes then refreshed it. If you can reproduce the thing, look into it.
15. Hotkey to stop current going dips.
16. Show some kind of pleasant animations like you show for big winner.
17. Is it possible to open multiple windows and play/autobet different games in each window? Also will it let me to play same game simultaneously in multiple windows?

L. New game Ideas

1. Run multiple spinners at the same time. Let users select number of spinners. Let them also select different colors for each spinners or use random option.
2. Randomize a spinner inside a roulette number. The game will take long time to finish. However, this could be interesting to see a game of games.

M. Existing Games for inclusion consideration
1. Minesweeper
2. Scrambling images
3. Binary options

N. Automation

All of the existing bet automation imply only single game betting. I would like to see multi-game betting from bitvest.io.

There are several strategies people try in gambling like martingale. You can offer a predefined setup in automation screen for different strategies. This will help players to try out their luck.

1. Add button in the game screen to stop auto betting at any time. A hot key is also preferred.
2. Limit stop if the balance goes low below margin.
3. Repeat winning bets x number of times.
4. Stop after x number of continuous loss streaks.
5. Make room for user to set custom amount to allot to automate. Also add option for user to auto add amount from his main balance to bet amount if he runs of out his bet balance.
6. The existing auto betting script takes a break at a constant interval. Try to reproduce it yourself. I observed this while playing at higher speed.
7. I need to log the bot history. If you also can provide charting facility, I would be glad.
8. I want to have a stop button on the game page itself. I don't want to go the automation page to stop.
9. If I move to another tab in the browser, auto bet seems lagging.

O. Referral System

I hope you already have referral reward system in existence. I would like to add some more points, they may or not useful.

P. Others
1. Logo or Icon just points out plinko game. bitvest hosts multiple games. So, change it.
2. Check load balance. After 10+ continuous slot spins, I see screen lagging to update.

[TO BE CONTINUED...]
