Very nice site! Just one minor correction for MoneyPot, the house edge is actually 0 to 1%, as opposed to 1%.
-snip-

The house edge data isn't quite right for other sites either.
For Peerbet, the edge for dice is 1% but the edge for wheel is 3.125%.
For PocketDice, the edges are different for different bets but are all above 1.67%.
etc.

I'm not quite sure what to do about sites with varying house edges yet. Should I go by the lowest, or the most common house edge, or the mean across all games, or should I just bite the bullet and change the codebase so that it can understand "varying house edges" (eg. "Edge: 1.67 - 3.125%")?

IMHO, it is better to list the range as it reflects the whole picture.
If you use the lowest one, you will have to mark moneypot's edge as 0% which will be very misleading.

But if the change in your code is going to be difficult, I think you could use "Varies" in the general information section and add a paragraph in your review for the house edge.

It's not too difficult. Just a bit inconvenient. I'll try to get to it some time today.

Very nice site! Just one minor correction for MoneyPot, the house edge is actually 0 to 1%, as opposed to 1%. This is more than a technicality, as most best are placed with a pretty low house edge (our historical house edge has been 0.11%). Also for the careful gambler, playing with +EV is quite realistic. For someone who cares about gambling with the best odds, it's pretty unique.

Also, there's a stats page: https://www.moneypot.com/stats which you can scrape. The stats load take a few seconds, as they're computed on demand (and cached for 5 minutes) but if that's something you would like improved, it's not a problem for me to do so.


Thanks for the link to the stats page. I'll be switching to that now. I noticed, however, that you don't have the maximum profit listed on that page; it would be awesome if you did. Also, what is the difference between "Total Plays" and "Total Games"? Are any of them appropriate for the "bet count" field?

I've changed the edge to 0.11% and I'll try to keep it to the historical/average house edge. I think this is fair for now, but it may change in the future (see below).

Loving the updates and the growth.


agree, all it needs is more promotion, perhaps diggit io should start some sig campaign?we need more people to kow this baby  Grin

The site is certainly seeing decent growth, but I suspect the new affiliate feature will bring in new players soon. Smiley

SatoshiBet is missing I think.
By the way a question, how BitCasino is considered not provably fair?

Nah, you must have missed it. It's there. BitCasino is listed as not provably fair because, as far as I can see, it isn't. I don't see anything on the website indicating that it is.
86  Economy / Gambling / Re: TheBitcoinStrip.com | Honest Bitcoin casino reviews, statistics and more! on: February 01, 2015, 12:01:07 PM
Is it possible to vote on the page? Because if not how its honest? Do you have any statistics or something?

Vote for what? If you are talking about writing a review, you can do that on the casino page. For example, you can write a Primedice review here.

Server up again! Had an SSL issue.

Can you please issue some notifications before you're going to tinker with the site? Some of us are running referral ads and we're basically wasting money if your site keeps going up/down, I realize it's a new site and fixing bugs here and there is unavoidable, but please make an announcement so we can pause our ads.

Come on. The site was down for only a few minutes due to a technical mishap. Diggit's uptime is pretty close to 100% overall.

Question for oldmate, the '#1 investor'.

Why do you trust this site with such large amounts of btc? As I said above, I am interested in investing more, but because the site is relatively new, I dont want to rush into it.. So do you know the owner personally or what?

I've knew the owner prior to the launch. If I didn't, I would also be hesitant to invest a large amount.
94  Economy / Services / Re: Looking to hire a ghostwriter for a Bitcoin casino review website. on: December 23, 2014, 11:03:56 PM
It depends how good you are. Prices will be negotiated after I see a sample. It'll be fixed per review, and maybe bonuses for extra word count too.
95  Economy / Services / Re: Looking to hire a ghostwriter for a Bitcoin casino review website. on: December 23, 2014, 08:06:55 PM
Bump. Anyone interested? Compensation is of course included.
96  Economy / Services / Looking to hire a ghostwriter for a Bitcoin casino review website. on: December 22, 2014, 09:49:49 PM
Must have actual knowledge of Bitcoin (general security, cold wallets and whatnot), casinos (odds, house edge, bankroll management) and a general understanding of provably fair mechanisms. And decent writing skill, although I will always clean up articles before publishing.

PM me for details.

98  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling Site Cold Storage and Bankroll on: December 15, 2014, 04:35:09 AM
It is advisable for any business holding a large number of Bitcoins to keep the vast majority of BTC reserves in cold storage and only a small percentage in the hot wallet. Casinos are definitely no exception.

It's common sense.

I like the concept, but your web design is awful.
100  Economy / Gambling / Re: BalloonBit.com | Provably Fair | 1% House Edge | Original gambling game on: December 11, 2014, 05:29:22 AM
If you have trouble payout out 1 BTC for a bug bounty, it seems very dangerous to be offering a 100x payout with a 1 BTC max bet. Someone could win 100 BTC and what would you do?

If this is correct, everybody should stop using the site immediately. BalloonBit clearly has no understanding of bankroll management and is making bets with players that it cannot keep. Extremely unethical in the least.
