Thanks for everyones critique, it's just an idea.  


Look, maybe you didn't mean to offend anybody, but these words of yours

~ After reading about the trust issues users have of gambling websites being promoted on this forum, ~

sound insulting, well, to me at least. Since you are "New here", let me tell you that most gambling websites promoted on this forum are trustworthy, and the idea of the gambling section of this forum is to have all the needed info about crypto gambling assembled in one place. If we want to gamble, we can choose from many different established sites and go there. Why on earth do you think that we need a complete stranger to organise a raffle for us? Because we know that here are only scammers around us?

Seriously, dude, WTF?

I did not say gambling websites are not trustworthy. However you would have to agree that there a lot of questions regarding trustworthiness of gambling websites popping up on here. Talking of strangers, I take it you really know the person who you bet with? Have a nice day.

It's a very good point, but Newbies could not play. The idea is to have genuine users seeking a fair gambling experience for which I would hope the users would help me police.

There are plenty of hacked accounts, farmed accounts, or accounts worth much less than 0.1 ETH
My example with newbies was extreme. But there are much more.
And who will decide if an account is worthy? You can have some of those accounts yourself. And you didn't say a word about making the result fair/trusted, hence you may cheat.

Really, you need to polish your idea.

When you say an Account, you mean an ETH address?

No I would not be Escrow, If users who commit to play dont send their payment to winner, then I would to ensure the winner was paid fairly.

The result would be done completely fair for example using the Bonus Ball of The National Lottery.

I am not familiar with your country's national lottery.
However, here, what stops me from making 10 new accounts, pinky swear that I send the 0.1 ETH from each account, obviously not send any and claim the prize from the winner, since you'll pay it from your pocket?

Thoughts and questions welcomed.

1. How will you guarantee that the users will send those funds to the winner? I hope that you don't expect people to use you as escrow. (And banning people from your game won't mean anything.)
2. If you generate the result, that can be faked, you need something more trusted than that.

All I see is a simple idea, not polished enough. It may be related to the lack of knowledge if you are newbie indeed or an attempt to scam otherwise.

Hello guys,

New here and nice to meet you all. After reading about the trust issues users have of gambling websites being promoted on this forum, I'd like to welcome users interested in playing a fair and random raffle game directly on this forum.

Below is a concept idea.

How Raffle No.1 works :

Total Prize Is 0.81 ETH

• 10 Users 'Commit' To Enter At A Cost Of 0.1 ETH Each
• We Then Generate The Result Using RNG
• Winner Is Announced
• 9 Users Each Send The 1 Winner 0.09 ETH (1 Strike and Out Policy Meaning Failure To Pay Users Will Result In Instant Ban)
• The 10 Users Each Send Me The Organiser 0.01 ETH

Thoughts and questions welcomed.
