Hello, i don't know why but when i want to verify that the game is provably fair and i press verify button, nothing happens... Is it just me or this problem is for everyone?
Also, i tried doing that with diferent browsers and it didnt help.
Oh crap, it looks like this was a javascript bug that we introduced today. It has now been fixed. All provably fair functionality was unaffected, only the javascript on the javascript hand verifier was affected. The technical reason for the problem: we recently moved all of our static assets to be served from assets.bitzino.com (for speed reasons), however we failed to move the assets required by the javascript hand verifier (sha256.js and MersenneTwister19937.js). Now that we've added these files, the javascript bug is no longer present. Can you let me know your bitZino username? I'll add a comp to your account for helping us find this issue! |

I'm running out of things to complain about again. Just two small niggles:
I'd like to be able to adjust my bet size for the next game while "folding" the current game. It takes long enough to fold with my slow internet connection that I often find myself hovering over the bet size adjustment buttons waiting for them to become active again. They could be activated client-side before sending the 'fold' message to the server I expect?
Thanks for always testing with slow internet! I think for now, we are going to not make this change though. We implemented this change internally, but then saw that it can see it lead to confusion about exactly what hand you're changing the bet size for (especially if you're only somewhat paying attention while you play). Keeping the bet boxes disabled until the next hand has officially started avoids this confusion, and it is also consistent with our other games. Also, I'm used to being able to click the '1/2' button over and over to reset the bet to 1. That's how it works on blackjack; clicking 1/2 when the bet is 1 leaves it at 1. But in three card poker half of 1 is 0. (And twice 0 is 1). I think I'd prefer half 1 to be 1. I can always used the '-' button if I want to go from 1 to 0. Then it's more consistent across the games.
This is a good suggestion! We have went ahead and implemented this change. Thanks, Dooglus, for the continued help in improving our product! I've comped your account with another 0.1 BTC. As always, let us know any more feedback you have! |

3 Card Poker:
Max bet: 25 BTC
House edge (Pairplus): 2.14%
House edge (Ante): 3.28%
Wasn't the edge 3.28% before you added the "player wins ties" rule? I'd expect it to drop a little with that change. Ah, good call! That is the old figure. The true house edge for the Ante bet in our 3 Card Poker is 3.15%. I have also gone and edited the previous post so that it's correct. I want to suggest one thing. It would be good if there would be a counter, which would show how much you won/lost per day. Ofcource you can calculate yourself by watching a balance, but this way would be more convenient for the player.  One way to get your win/loss is that you are always welcome to reach out to our support ( https://bitzino.com/support) and request a hand-history log. One thing we've been thinking about is automating the hand-history report, so that you don't need to reach out to support in order to access it. This would also serve to make it easy for you to see your win/loss for a day. |

I wonder if it would be helpful (for new players, especially) if you displayed the hand description before they act. That way you remove any confusion about whether A23 is a straight or not, for example - if it says "straight" under it, it's a straight.
This is a good suggestion. We've went ahead and implemented it. I'm helping mem update his gambling list. The plan is to list games along with the max bet and house edge so players can easily compare them. Do you have 'official' figures for the house edges on the games you offer that you'd like listed? I'm thinking that in pretty much every case your games offer the lowest edge and highest max bet of all the bitcoin gaming sites (in part due to my nagging  ). Cool! I'll list out all our games' max bet and house edge below: Blackjack: Max bet: 25 BTC House edge: 0.39759% Craps: Max bet: 5 BTC per wager-type House edge: 0.273%-2.778%. (Varies by wager-type. We've adjusted our rules from the standard payouts so that all wagers have less than 3% house edge.) Roulette: Max bet: 100 BTC overall, 5 BTC per number House edge: 2.70% Slots: Max bet: 2 BTC per line (10 BTC overall) House edge: 0.964% 3 Card Poker: Max bet: 25 BTC House edge (Pairplus): 2.14% House edge (Ante): 3.15% Video Poker: Max bet: 2 BTC House edge (Jacks or better): 0.456096% House edge (Tens or better): 0.8612% House edge (Deuces wild): 0.5821% House edge (Bonus poker): 0.834% House edge (Double Bonus Poker): 0.5169% House edge (Dbl Dbl Bonus Poker): 0.5368% The min bet for all our games is 1 μBTC (0.000001 BTC). Hope that helps! |

I like it a lot, very smooth. Just some Bitcoins now...
I'm glad you like it! I'm really happy to see a new game added! I like the ability to do "microgambling" at your site to learn new games so I'll know how to play different games when I find myself in a real casino. Also...my first hand at 3 card poker and I was dealt a straight flush. Am I lucky, or is it rigged to get me hooked? I'm glad you're having fun! Sounds like you got quite lucky We definitely don't manipulate any hands ever. Our 3 Card Poker game is provably fair just like all our other games! Maybe it's worth mentioning in the rules what a 'mini royal' is. I didn't know, and had to look it up.
Apparently, "A Mini Royal is a suited AKQ". Plausibly it could have included suited KQJ and suited QJT, given that a regular royal is suited AKQJT.
Good call. We've added this clarification to the rules. It looks like you've picked the most favourable paytables listed on wizardofodds.com for your game. I see they mention a variant where the player wins in the event of a tie, which gives about 0.13% less edge to the house. If you're looking to give better odds while still offering a vaguely standard game, that might be something to consider? But probably three card poker is rare enough in the Bitcoin world that you don't need to compete that hard.
Ok, you convinced us  We've updated our rules so that ties go to the player. We also updated how kickers are displayed, so that only relevant kickers are shown. I've gone in and added a 0.1 BTC comp to your account, Dooglus, to thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming! |

That's pretty slick. I can't find much to bitch about. The only thing I'm say is maybe only mention any kickers that are relevant. Who cares that I have a 6 and 2 kicker when my A high beat his K high? Glad you like it! I like your idea to not mention the irrelevant kickers. There's already a lot of text on the screen, so removing the unnecessary stuff will make it easier to parse what's going on. We'll implement this! Love the 3 card poker!
Thanks! |

We have just launched a new game, 3 Card Poker!
Three Card Poker is a twist on classic poker, where you and the dealer are each dealt three cards, and your goal is to beat the dealer. There's also an exciting secondary Pairplus game, which you can play at the same time. If you'd like more details on how to play, we've written up detailed instructions, which you can access by clicking on the "Rules" dropdown on the upper-left of the table, and clicking the "How to play >" link. We decided to build this game purely because our users requested it. If you have any more suggestions about what to build next, or any other feedback, please let us know. We listen! |

Currently the max bet in blackjack is 25 BTC.
That's pretty amazing. That's around $3000. With splits and doubles I expect you've seen some huge hands. We've definitely seen a fair share of big hands! Our max bet in Roulette is 100 BTC, so we see some large wagers there as well. That's the nice thing about keeping everything in BTC As the purchasing power of bitcoin rises, so do our effective limits. It boggles my mind to think about the bankroll required to offer limits that high. Well, if you look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=63jvb7jar34mtdefttso41v715&topic=75883.0 you can see that some gambling games offer unlimited max bet ) I don't know of anyone that actually offers unlimited bet sizes. If they do this, they're basically guaranteeing that the house will eventually go broke. I wrote a post up earlier in this thread which details how we calculate what we set our maximum bet size to, based on the risk-of-ruin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=87656.msg1145478#msg1145478There's a post somewhere in this thread about bitZino's analysis of what max bet they can safely offer. I don't think it talks about their bankroll specifically but it may be possible to infer a ballpark amount based on their current maximum bets. I'll link to the post if I find it.
See the above link - I think that's what you're referring to! |

Still any plans for Spanish 21?
It's on our roadmap! For the immediate future, we're focusing on getting 3 Card Poker out the door. Look for that to launch later this week. |

Have you tried exporting your private keys using pywallet?
Assuming you can export all of your private keys, then you could just create a new wallet, and then use importprivkey to import them all into the new wallet.

In case I'm not being clear, I currently can't get to bitzino.com.
Ah, but if I flush bitzino.com from my DNS cache I can. Sorry for the false alarm. Oh good, I'm glad it's working. Thanks! |

Confirmed that it's back up again now. My funds are safe (whew!), and I also did receive a comp (0.01 BTC). Many thanks.
Thanks for confirming it's back up! Sorry to make you worry! Hopefully now we're better prepared and can respond more quickly next time. Another DDoS target? There's definitely someone with big pockets / botnets behind it.
I'll just take this as a sign of success I suppose :/ |

I had 18 BTC ... all time takes a lot to response and after some time appear: OUT OF SYNC, continue playing?. I press "continue playing" and my balance transform to 3 BTC....:S  ? We just replied to your customer support email regarding this - but just to reply here too: everything with your account seems to be in order now that we're back online. Sorry about the inconvenience! |

I'm sorry for the issues with the site currently.
We are currently undergoing a ddos attack.
I want to confirm that all funds are completely safe.
We hope to be back up again soon. Thanks for everyone's patience as we work through this!
We seem to be back up now! We will be comping everyone's account that was actively playing when the site went offline with a small bonus - just to apologize for the inconvenience. |

Sent a deposit yesterday but it never showed up...
That's no good! I'm sure everything will work out alright, we just need to figure out what happened. Can you send a help request to support@bitzino.com, and include your bitZino username, your deposit address, and the transaction id of your deposit? Also, it would help to include what wallet software you are using. |
