I think it's a bit crappy, that, if you send and it's 30 confirmations, you can change to say 32, then I have to wait another 2..... surely those sent before the change, should receive the confirmation limit at time of sending?

It's only at most +1 per day. So additional 10 minutes of wait if it's changed when you placed a bet.

I get it's unlikely, but, what if someone hits one of the top 2 "prizes" with a large bet before things are saturated - especially before the Lottery has taken off (assuming it does?) - what will happen?
The risk or ruin is very small. Although quite remote, what is tragic is a long string of successive jackpots. That is very unlikely to happen though. To be honest, it would be something like a fire, flood, earthquake, war happening in the place where you have business all at the same time.

Nevertheless, you are gambling with money that you cannot afford to lose. You may wish to rethink how wise that is. One of the basic rules of operating a gambling establishment is that you *must* be sufficiently well-funded that a couple of jackpots don't ruin you. Depending on how your customers bet, it's not unusual to have a well-run gambling establishment that has more losing days than winning days. For example, look at Satoshi Dice. You have to have the financing to let the law of averages catch up.

You have to have the financing to let the law of averages catch up. Not exactly, we have the money. If that very remote case will happen, we will be forced to close down and pay what needs to be paid. Only a long string of unfortunate events will make that happen and we will have to close on the early part of that. Even SD will be forced to close if that tragic thing will happen I believe. Or any business.

If you know your transaction hash, you can put it in the searchbox here: http://blockchain.info/ and press enter. Then click the hyperlink next to the "included in block" to know the block hash. Then compare the last digits of both the transaction hash and the block hash. Although our official source is blockexplorer.com, blockchain.info is more use friendly. Let me know if you get it.

Could you confirm it's still 32 confirmations? I have transactions on 32 confirmations without anything sent back.

If you send more than once in a single transaction, only the first one will count as valid.

Please check your transaction history. I think I found 2 sends in a single transaction of 0.25 each. The second one was flagged as invalid.

There are times when blockexplorer.com is delayed in publishing the blocks. Maybe that's why.

I realize I'm being a pain about this but ... I USED my blockchain.info wallet to send that transaction granted I used a diffrent than standard transaction fee but YES I sent 0.5BTC in one transaction. Other than paying the standard fee (yes I'm greedy because I'm almost broke) I don't see how I could have done it any differently and not gotten the same result. Bad enough I lost a whole return transaction by trying to send from my GLBSE wallet to avoid a few transaction fees now I'm getting dinged when I do it the *right* way?

See at the bottom of that page, there's a link: "Advanced: Enable". Click it. Then you'll see the advanced view which shows you it's actually 2 separate 0.25 payments, not a single 0.50.

Just reached the 500th bet. Nobody ever lost I would say. But nobody also hit big yet. Still waiting......
