no cheating it's surely not, everyone has indeed the same rules

This is an issue related to blockchain.info and not p50pot.com. If you still can't access your funds, you might want to try using a different IP, e.g. to use your phone or a friend's computer. My understanding is that even when this ban is active, it would not last for a long time.

when a block is created it takes 2 minutes before something changes on your website, can you change that?
this will cause many people to still make a deposit, waste mining fees etc.

This is good feedback. Thanks you! I will look into this later today.

I have fixed this last evening. Leen93, is your address 199tyGZBogrRBSJ8mE6V9P4pSky6nVrgo8? I want to send you a gratitude bounty for finding this bug.

Imagine each deposit is a book. The larger the deposit, the thicker the book.
Now, imagine we stack all the books back to back. The winner is the book in the middle.
So, if there's a thick book, it is more likely to occupy the center.
Lastly, each round is a different stack and a different winner.

It is pretty simple

Yes but, what is that occupy the center? The center of what?

The center of the stack. The winner is the book at the center of the stack.

Say you have 3 books, A is 400 pages, B is 100 pages and C is 200 pages. When you stack them, it looks like:

   AAAABCC

To see who wins, you look at the exact center of the stack, here it is an A. So A is the winner.
It is the winner even though it's the first since it's also thicker and as such it occupies the center position within the stack.

I hope this clears out the uncertainty.

Looks like a nice concept, but just a suggestion, might be a good idea to start a few free rounds, just to get people to get a hang of it. Also it seems the main requirement is it requires people on the site to play.

And I have a question about the fees system. It says 1 mbtc every 10 participants. So how is fees taken, say if 4 people play a round, and 6 play the second ? So is 0.0001 taken from each by default ?

Yes, it is 1mBTC per 10 participants per round. This is an exceptionally small fee. Consider https://p50pot.com/round.html?r=351248 for instance. My fee was less than 0.25%. Any other gambling site would take at least 1%.
