luckco.in, the social bitcoin casino [CLOSED]

[abrkn]

Problems solved (added a lot of disk space for the block chain) and re-started the website

can't log in to site. i think i visited site a long while back, so i cleared my cookies, grabbed a different ip by using a different wifi, created a new google account, and authorized luckco.in for that google account. but it still refuses to allow me to log in.

I just tried logging in for the first time in a few weeks and it worked for me.  I used a google account that I had used with the site before.

Please send to help@luckco.in. Any screenshots?

so maybe it's just not allowing new users to create accounts. the frustrating thing is that it doesn't bother to give any error message when it happens, so i can't provide any useful information to help track this down.

I added the following to the github ticket, but it doesn't allow users to reopen tickets, so not sure if you'll see it there:

This was actually never fixed. after you closed the ticket, the interface pretended to allow withdrawals, then eventually showed a timeout error. Because you said the solution required a disk upgrade, I assumed this was because the blockchain needed to be updated on the new disk, but now withdrawals are returning ECONNREFUSED error again. So the bitcoin server is still having problems.

Before attaching my Google account, I was able to see the games. Now that my Google account is attached, it only shows the chat on the left side, but it doesn't look like the games are showing up. I even disabled my Adblock. Any idea as to what's going on? I've been looking for a bitcoin slot machine for a LONG time now.

Can you please update us on the withdrawal issue. I added a comment on the github ticket and also included the comment a few posts back.

how do we know that the games are fair ?   

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the games aren't fair, but I think you will attract more players by proving the fairness of every hand played, like bitzino and bitcoinvideocasino do.

Isn't it possible to implant such a system on luckco.in ?

When I talked to the site's owner about this he seemed to be of the opinion that being provably fair doesn't help when the casino owner is in control of your coins.  Look at bitjack21 for instance.  That is/was provably fair, but there are many users claiming that the site owner has refused to pay them their winnings.

I'd argue that at least those users know for sure that they're being cheated, as opposed to people playing on a not-provably-fair site that always honours withdraw requests, but where the house always seems to win when you raise your stake.

Okay, when the admin controls your coins, you'll always have a risk of not being paid, I agree on that.
But on the other side, a casino owner can only benefit from prooving that his games are fair, it can only turn out positive for him (if the games are indeed fair)

And I think most players agree with me when I say I have a better feeling when depositing at a casino that gives proof of fairness , then when I deposit at a casino where is only written that the games are fair, but without any proof

So I don't understand why not all bitcoin casinos prove the fairness of the games like on bitzino, if they can only attract more players by doing this.

Correct me if I'm wrong about this

It is not possible to create such a system on luckcoin because there are progressive jackpots. I have no way to prove that I'm not giving away the progressive jackpot to myself.

You can still prove that the games I play are fair.  That way I can be sure I'm getting at least the expected 99.5% payout in the long run (or whatever it is) even if you are cheating on the progressive pot.  Otherwise it's possible you're deliberately withholding half the straight flushes I should be getting.

I guess my question really is why you're resistant to offering 'provably fair' games even if they don't give a 100% guarantee of fairness.

To all the folks asking for "provably fair", can you name a single other gambling site that lets you look at the source? You can prove its fair int he code and, if you think it isn't, provide a patch to fix it. And, if that doesn't float your boat, you can take the code and launch your own site! IMO, open source >>>>>>> "probably fair" because of the possibilities it makes available.

Not that I think abrkn is cheating, but there's no proof that the source code that we can see is the same as the code running on the website.  He could be maintaining a branch that he doesn't push to the public repository, and which cheats somehow.

+1. There is really no excuse for not provably fair.

As reported in the newbie forum, the site's wallet is currently empty: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=128969.msg1579399#msg1579399
