Hi guys,

I made a free betting script for Bitcoin that allows you to open up your own Bitcoin casino.

Well, you'd have to change an API that accepts Litecoin or other altcoins... do you know if blockchain does?

Hey guys,

I was bored and decided to work on an open-source Bitcoin roll-the-dice betting
site similiar to just-dice.com or satoshi-dice.com.

Please note that the script is currently under development and not so great looking yet, but I'm working on that - make sure to test it out! Wink

It's also completely free and will stay that way, which is nice.
You can also make money (BTC) with this script by changing the withdrawal fee.

How to install (I'll assume you are familiar with how to install basic PHP scripts and setup a MySQL database):
  • (I would test the script on a local LAMP server first before launching it on a real site, simply because I'm not sure how well CodeIgniter + my script will handle different server environments - GoDaddy for example does not work sometimes with CodeIgniter)
  • You need an Apache HTTP server with PHP 5.3+ and a MySQL database
  • Download the files from the Download section in this thread and upload the files onto your server using a client such as FileZilla
  • Visit http://yoursite.com/bitdice/install/ to install the script. Follow the install wizard and type in your database connection/pass. Make sure to create the database in phpmyadmin first!
  • If everything went okay, you should be redirected to an admin page screen. Type in the standard "admin123" password to login.
  • Ta-da! Now you can change some basic settings for your page, and make sure to change the admin password.
  • IMPORTANT: You need to create a separate bitcoin address that will be used as a bank for the script. Winnings and losses will be deposited in the bank using blockchain.info's API. Please make sure that at least $20-$50 worth of bitcoins are in the "bank". (If it's any less there might be issues with the betting system and transactions) - Make sure to add the bank's address AND the bank's private key in the admin panel after install, otherwise the script won't work!
  • Delete the install folder!
  • Create an account and start playing on your own dice site!

How it works:
  • The site is basically a just-dice.com clone, so everything works like it does on just-dice.
  • When users deposit BTCs into your site, a random address will be generated for this session that only the user will be able to view!
  • The script then saves the randomly generated address and then checks if money is deposited. If yes, then the player will be able to play. The money is then forwarded into the bank.
  • Sessions (or accounts) can be re-logged into (so that users won't lose their BTCs) by saving a 64-long string. I'll add a password system later

To visit admin: http://yourpage.com/bitdice/index.php/admin

Please note that there still might be bugs and that some parts are still empty/don't work. I am actively developing this script and will soon be launching a github repo for other people to help develop it!

Hi,

I was wondering that. I am looking into investing a lot of money (about 30 BTC) and
now I wanted to know if it's really secure and what type of software (mac preferrably)
should I use to make sure that I won't get scammed.

Any help is very much appreciated, thank you!
