I bet a few rounds, did a withdraw (still waiting for that to come through) however, you need to clean up the balance field a bit:

The whole interface looks really pretty in my opinion the website is really cool i think and I will try it out when I will be at home can't wait for that experience

i like this kind of games and i checked it out and looks nice
but what i dont like at it is that is off chain... i think it should rly be on chain..
regards.

I really liked the game at first I thought it was going to be poorly made though I was wrong about it as it has an impressive design I wish you to have a lot of players in near future who would like your game

Hi - thanks for the comments and feedback.

DaveF: I'll get onto fixing that balance rendering bug asap. I also forgot to charge up the BTC hot wallet when putting the new code live so as soon as I've transferred funds your payment will come through.

katerniko1: We just changed the play to off-chain because on-chain betting chewed up way too much in fees for players and us. Also it made playing the game a lot slower. Maybe there's a way we could store plays on the chain - how about a hash of all your plays when you withdraw?

I see only a little error.
When i click to bet (x2-x4-x5...) open a pop up with all information bet, but i don't see the X for close a pop up (generally to right and up of page) Grin

They should look like this:

Can I ask which browser you're using please?

The game is really nice and I like the whole outlook also the game idea is cool I think I will definitely try it out as soon when I will get home from work I hope it will be cool

Looks like deposits are not working.
Take a look at address 1Gf8k8EruaErdrWJFpU6Hwy4Db3Rat1kma
it's not showing up in my account.
-Dave

Hmm. I've restarted the blockchain monitor back to block 369500 (Aug 12th) but with more debugging output to find out why it didn't pick up your deposit.
The TX is definitely in the blockchain https://blockchain.info/tx/efabe677ac09669f674feae9f5540b3f10aed88e39c0fd9b62527937dd365836 so should have been picked up.
I have to go somewhere for most of today so I'm afraid I can't give you any more info until then, but I will get it sorted!!

I use firefox, but i have see already with chrome and his the same, i have print a screenshoot Grin

Ok, DaveF, I see the problem - it's a hangover from the previous code that assumed payments came from the first address in the TX.
So it thinks the payment went to 12m2w6bvDDh6v3nJ9zwm5MavcXKxJrRqhp but doesn't check 1Gf8k8EruaErdrWJFpU6Hwy4Db3Rat1kma
Will fix asap then rescan blockchain and your deposit should be recognised!

Recipient fix is live, however I've set the blockchain monitor to rescan from block 369,500 which might a few hours!
I'll check back later (or tomorrow morning) to see if your deposit has come through.
Sorry for the delay but also thanks for pointing out the issue!

No problem.

I think I found another small issue, but I will not be able to test till I can bet.

-Dave

Small issue, I can sometimes recreate it but not all the time.
After the race ends, but before betting is allowed to start. If you go to bet it gives the error that you have to wait to bet but every now and then it still records the bet. I thought it happened the other day and I managed to recreate it 2 or 3 times over 12 games last night.

Site looks really nice and retro just as the theme of the game but why one needs to verify the email? I don't like lengthy registeration processes, especially on crypto gambling sites. Infact one shouldn't need an email at all, check out rollin.io, the only thing you need to play is a username and password or just back up the url and start playing. So maybe you can add an instant play option which doesn't requires going through the whole registration process, just open the site, deposit, play and cashout if you win.

Hello,

In response to the above you no longer need to verify your email address before you can play.
You can sign up (username+email+password) then deposit funds and play.

You still (currently) need a working email address to confirm withdrawals for security reasons.

Also, I found a bug where the blockchain monitor would get stuck on a forked block and so deposits would get delayed. This is now fixed but the server is still a few blocks behind (although catching up as fast as it can). Sorry if you were one of those affected - your funds have not been lost!

Next up will be improvements to the chat system to show a bit of history and also a "call admins" feature.

Thanks to those who've taken a look!
