Latest update:
Deposits and withdrawals are still disabled unfortunately

The new wallet server has downloaded the blockchain.
It then done it's syncing but now is showing "processing blocks" and is still 2 years and 22 weeks behind!

I would imagine this could take 4-6 hours?

I'll enable withdrawals and deposits as soon as it's finished.

Thanks for all the support in here and emails.

Hi everyone.

Little update.

I don't know if anyone noticed but we were down over Christmas due to a security breach.
No players lost funds. I lost 18 Btc.
Full details here https://betking.io/help/attack

Obviously I imagine that would have a negative effect on the ICO.

However the site is back up now and so far I've had nothing but support in the forum and emails.

There's still 4 days left of the ICO fund raising period.

Thanks

If you click forgot password on the login form on the dice page, betking.io/bitcoindice , it will ask you for email

Back online now. Was disabled just for routine checks apparently.

The password reset links should send ok now too.

It depends when you played.  If you didn't have a balance or investment before dec 31st 2014 then your account would not have been imported.
Feel free to pm what you think username and email  would have  been and I can check.

Thanks

Down and out of my control this time.
New server account just got disabled with no explanation!

So site is live and broken. I'm not allowed to even stop the web server.

So waiting on support.
Will update as I get it.

Sorry for even more delays.

We're back up.

You should read this for details of the security breach.
https://betking.io/help/attack

You will need to reset your passwords.

Site is ready to go live again.
Just finishing up a post detailing the reason we were off.
There was a security breach so we had no option to go offline.

I understand that is an inconvenience to some but it had to be done.

Update to follow.

Thanks

I'd say 5-6 hours.

It's crazy to me that peoples first thought is to steal and that's coming from someone who had no money and been homeless

I mean I get it but when you want to do more in your future than just have some money it's not worth it at all.
BetKing made 7000+ in two years legit. I think in the long run I would make more legitimately than stealing would. Without the hassle of looking over my shoulder

Site will be back online later today.

There's about 10-15 Bitcoin in player balances. Chill out

I divested and allowed people to cash out 6000 Bitcoin a few weeks ago.
How retarded do you have to be to think I'm up to something when I could have stole 6000 instead of 15

Feel sorry for the trolls. Life's that empty they had to post here on Christmas day!

Also there will be a detailed post about why the site was offline.

It will yeah.
Sorry for the downtime. Hope to be back tomorrow early.
Have a good Christmas

We'll be offline for a few hours for maintenance.

Will post updates here with ETA of going back up. Thanks

Fixed now.

Thanks

I've made quite a few changes to just make the existing site better while the ico is going on.
Added rakeback and jackpot promos, made things look a bit better and improved chat and pm system a lot.

Nothing major like new product as that will be decided after ICO what we do first but not sitting about waiting either

Also got the possibility of launching a version of BetKing for runescape gold. Seems to be a large amount of users interested in that and a lot of volume potential.

Investors of the ICO will get a share of profit from that site too since it's part of BetKing.

Thanks

Changed the design of dice.

Now looks more like slots from the social dice game we had.

Let me know if you think it's better or worse and if you want any changes.

This weeks rakeback has been paid.
A total of 2 Bitcoin paid to players!

We will see what the current investors agree on. If they want to remain invested while I initially sell the smaller percent then I will also put my own funds in towards it and we will continue like that and I will list more shares for sale via the website.
If the current investors want to refund instead then I will remain just running the site as it is now.

There's a few reasons some of the old investors don't want to do this style of investing.
1) Most common is due to liquidity, they like that they could withdraw their Bitcoin at any time under the old model.
2) Tax purposes. The old model is basically gambling and some investors would not pay tax on earnings in certain jurisdictions.
3) Worry of investing and the total invested being way over target (this one obviously doesn't look to be happening now.
4) Bad timing. While ICONAMI etc got a lot raised ($10 million with no business plan or product while we have a proven profitable business and plan ) in September we are doing this at the end of year while Bitcoin price is increasing rapidly.

We probably would have had more success if we had announced the ICO well in advanced and had the original post as it is now on day one and also listing it nowhere near the holidays.

However even if we only raise 10% then we still have the ability to sell the remaining 20% at any other time.
