Or they could pay out each incoming transaction with a single outgoing transaction.

If you want to make 100 bets in a single transaction, you won't mind getting your payout in a single transaction either.  If you want to look into exactly which bets won and which lost, you can check their website for details.

Thanks.

I just started playing through the bonus, but on my third flip there was a long pause, and then a screen telling me to apologise:



I'm so very sorry.  It won't happen again.

This must be some new definition of the word "exactly".

Single zero roulette has a house edge which can't be exactly expressed as a decimal, since it's 2.7027% recurring - where the 027 keeps going forever.  As a fraction, it's 100/37 %.

Double zero roulette of course has a house edge of twice that.5.4054% (with a bunch more 054 on the end), or 200/37 %.

It still tells me "Deposited Bitcoins have still not been confirmed. Please try again later." but now my deposit does have a confirmation.  If you're waiting for more than one confirmation, it would be good to say exactly how many I need to wait for.

Edit: I was able to cash out once my deposit had 2 confirmations.

When I tried to withdraw, it complained that my deposit wasn't confirmed yet:



It would be better if you accepted my request but waited for the deposit to confirm before paying out.  I don't mind waiting for the confirmation, but I don't want to have to remember to ask for it again in 10 minutes or however long it's going to take to confirm.  You could say something like "your withdrawal request will be processed as soon as your deposit has confirmed" so I know to expect a short delay.

Reloading the page didn't fix it.  Deleting the account_key from the URL did, since I guess that makes me a new account.

The broken account is:

You can reproduce the error by visiting that URL.

I just took a look at the site to check out the updates.

I'm not seeing a deposit address:



and at the bottom of the screen:



I also don't see anything about how much of each bet goes into the progressive pot, or how to set up the auto play / auto hold.

Edit: I see that clicking the 'auto' button lets me chose what kind of auto play I want, but that's not clear until I've clicked it.

Yes it was.  They used a trusted escrow.

Do I need to leave my balance at 13m฿ or is it OK to play with it?

I've taken some pretty scary risks and have bravely increased my balance to a whopping 19m฿, but so far didn't receive the 100 chip bonus.

They could fix that by using a different 'lucky number' for each bet.  Use the output number as well as the txid to determine the lucky number.  Then they can allow lots of max bets on the same game in a single transaction, without increasing their risk of ruin.

It's looking like the house has just lost the 11k BTC again, and has now reduced their max bets on a bunch of bets too.

After winning over 11,000 BTC recently, the maximum bets at satoshidice have now been reduced.  It used to be possible to bet 250 BTC on <32000, <24000, <12000 but isn't any longer.

Is that deliberate, or did something go wrong?

I looked at the bets paid out in blocks 214634 through 214648, which represent the 11k BTC profit for the house, and counted up all the bets where 10 BTC or more was bet.

Here's the summary (note that 'wins' are wins for the player, and profit is profit for the player, not the house):

Massive betting overnight!

80 bets of 250 BTC on lessthan 16000
57 lose, 23 win
expected wins: 19.53
profit: 3086.71 BTC

91 bets of 250 BTC on lessthan 12000
74 lose, 17 win
expected wins: 16.66
profit: 17.32 BTC

These 17 wins are the new 17 highest ever wins on the 'big wins' tab of satoshidice.com.

I just saw the following message from v2.2:


Should that say "multiply" not "multiple"?

In my experience withdrawals from bitZino are pretty much instant.

The only exception is if you've deposited recently.  In that case they wait for your deposit to get 2 confirmations before letting you withdraw.

Ever tried withdrawing from Pokerstars or similar?  I'm currently unable to withdraw from them because they want to see a copy of a recent utility bill.  I live in the middle of nowhere, without utilities.  Satellite Internet is the only "utility" we get here, and that's not in my name.

I once tried to withdraw from my online Ladbrokes sports betting account.  I couldn't find the option on their website so I phoned them.  The nice lady seemed a little confused, and told me that I didn't need to withdraw, but that they would hold my balance for me until I wanted to bet on something else.
