Hi all,

I have just investigated this site and I can see the catch.

When you place a bet, the numbers seem to be "randomly" chosen so that it almost always falls on a number you did not bet on.

As a test, I saw that the numbers chosen for the last 15 or so draws were all above 10 except for one, and looking back further, numbers below ten were not chosen very regularly.  So I placed a bet on the numbers 10-36, which gave me a 75% chance of winning.  I figured my chances were even higher as I would only lose if a number between 1-9 was chosen, and these hardly ever came up historically.  (First bet was draw 123985 for those who want to check.)

But then suddenly every time I placed a bet the winning number would fall between 1 and 9!  Here is the sequence of winning numbers - see if you can spot where I started placing bets ;-)

[19] [7] [13] [30] [33] [28] [19] [13] [24] [2] [2] [24] [3] [2] [8]

Interesting how they suddenly all go below 10 at the end, isn't it!  Except for the 24, which happened when my bet took too long to get confirmed by the Bitcoin network so it went into the following draw instead, making it look like I would have won had I placed my bet a little sooner...

I also signed up for an affiliate account and used this link to start playing, and the games I bet on did show up in my affiliate account.  However despite losing 0.03BTC, I received no income in my affiliate account.  At the very least I should have received 1% of this (half the site commission) which would have been 0.0003BTC, but it shows up as 0.0000BTC.  Of course at that rate it would take a very, very long time to build up the minimum 0.01BTC needed to withdraw your funds.

Anyway, I thought I would post my findings here for the benefit of anyone else thinking of using this site.  I wouldn't say it's an outright scam, but it's definitely rigged.  Not one to use if you want a "perfectly fair" chance of winning!
