I would advise everyone to avoid this server.
My account was hacked today, along with everyone else online.
It appears that the hacker took all money, along with passwords possibly.
I'd would also advise anyone who has every used this server to change their passwords.

On the server when it was hacked as well. Sad....

Our Minecraft accounts were not compromised. No need to change the password, the hacker was only able to impersonate us -- which got us kicked out because only one of "ourself" can exist at one time.

Didn't the admin implement /login system since he enabled offline mode?

Hey, big fan of BTCitVegas! Just wish the service was better and odds were a little less rough so people could actually have btc to come back and play again with.

Of course I have a long list of other ideas but for now I'm just posting because the server is down. Back online now.

...oh,  mostly I wish BitVegas had a Twitter account or some means of official contact/support. Taking money without such is, many not good things, but an easy way to start is Twitter.

The minimum deposit is still 0.001 though. But you can get 0.0005 every 15 minutes from our free gift chest while you're online. This allows 5 free bets 'on the house' every 15 minutes

the free gift chest doesn't seem to work for me. i have been online for an hour using the btc i deposited, but i have never gotten anything from the chest. i checked every 15 and 30 minutes and nothing. i'm not sure if i did something wrong or if it only works for certain people, but i would like to know

Wow this seems like a really cool idea but wouldn't just a simple java game be insecure? Couldn't it be easily hacked? And when can we try this out?

The Minecraft client is easily hackable. But all the casino code (tables, bets, odds etc) is kept and processed on the server which makes it just as secure as any website.

- What can be hacked: Minecraft client (Change textures for the hacking user only, fly, teleport, run faster, jump higher etc). This has no impact on the casino and most of this can be detected by the server anyway.
- What can't be hacked: The server (Predict outcome of game, place extra bets, change balances etc). This only possible ways to hack this would be finding an entry through a flaw in my PHP/mySQL code or brute forcing the server password (which would take something like over one million years). This is the same way most webservers are hacked.

Oh dude that sounds like a challenge. I might go check out ur casino later.

The gift chest didn't work for me tajacama either. If you have any idea what to do let me know! I'm in the server now name unkcegila. It's huge though, pretty cool. Have been using the play money, almost ran out of it, but haven't tried all the games yet.

Does anyone know what happened to OP?

BitVegas was quite an interesting and unique implementation of how bitcoin could be used in games. I know the creator has been AWOL for quite some time but there was an attempt to re-create the project. But it was transferred and shut down in the same year.

The topic of creating bitcoin applications in minecraft is trending on reddit bitcoin communities right now yet not many there seems to remember bitvegas.

Has anyone kept the code? Any chance of releasing it publicly so the legacy can live on?

I hope you know that this URL is broken/going to the wrong URL.

Well, duh.

BitVegas was shut down after a hack and the creator going AWOL. I hope that was clear enough in my necrobump :p
