Anyone tried this so far?
Odds are very strange and really high as compared with winning chance so that players are not interested to place bet there, i think some kind of attractive payout ratio can make this site more better to get attention from players. After 4 months of operation, this game probably has the most attractive payout ratio among known bitcoin gambling games. True. 0% house edge is rare and www.bitcoinbetting.website has implemented it in a very transparent way using blockchain based verification, which has made this game unique.

Can you explain to me why you're advertising a 0% house edge when in reality that's not the case?You can choose to deduct whatever amount for the transaction fee - that is fine, but the amount should NOT be deducted from the bet amount! Only the return if the player wins!
For those of you who cannot see the math behind it, allow me to fetch a quote by myself: This means for a bet of minimum size (0.0005 BTC) the house edge is:
Win event [1/16]: return of 16 * 0.0003 Lose event: return of 0
ev: 0.0003
This means you lose 40% per bet - a 40% house edge on the minimum amount. That's pretty far from a 0% house edge, don't you think?
Even at the maximum bet: 1 BTC, there's still a house edge.
If you win, you are returned 15.9968 BTC. This does correspond to a 0.02% house edge, which is far from the 40% earlier, but it's still not 0%.
(Though it's fair enough - this amount can correspond to a transaction fee, albeit it's a whopping 0.0032 BTC)
The deduction should only apply to the payout. Either do this, or stop advertising the website as as having 0% house edge.
If this were a website with 0% house edge, then when you bet 0.00060000 BTC and win, you should be returned 0.0094 (which is 0.0006*16-.0002) instead of the 0.0064 that you DO return. This example uses this bet: https://archive.is/Nd9EE#selection-4919.0-4919.3... and this transaction: https://archive.is/NX5AZDetails:

You could argue that if it costs 0.0002 BTC to make a transaction with 1 input, and since one average only 1 in 16 bets will win, the average payout transaction will have 16 inputs making the transaction roughly 16 times bigger and so 16 times more expensive to send. If all that is true then it is right that they deduct the 0.0002 from the stake amount and not the payout itself. Someone has to pay to "tidy up" all the small bet amounts. The actual number of inputs per payout is going to be pretty random, depending on the coin selection algorithm of the client they are using, but on average there will be 16 inputs per payout.

The question u r asking was raised before and was answered in another thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1643248.0. Relevant part is quoted below... It is an on-chain game and 0.0002 BTC is used in mining fee.
No, it's a "transaction processing fee". Look at Bet #530 or any other bet that lost. The bet amount is 0.0006 BTC, and the transaction that was given is 981f3689d2ef7e8f477948ea17287eb90472ab189d3c803cb05478b076a3bb64There are 2 outputs - one of 0.0008 BTC, and one of 0.008 BTC. It would seem logical to assume that the 0.0008 BTC was the bet, right? Why would they need to pay the miners fee if the bet lost? Actual 12x payout for this example btw, not the 16x they advertise. Your assumption that mining fee is not required for a lost bet is incorrect. Let us see how in your example... First this address was created - https://blockchain.info/address/1J9uBy5ba1pqtXfYfxzzAxK74qUK1sAfo1User sent the Tx to this address - https://blockchain.info/tx/981f3689d2ef7e8f477948ea17287eb90472ab189d3c803cb05478b076a3bb64 (User paid the mining fee of 0.000117 BTC) This address forwarded the fee to the hot wallet - https://blockchain.info/tx/156a3a82fd231097ea41955f8e5f9c122c055f392179507209ba6404de96f927 (House paid the mining fee of 0.0001 BTC) So, just to accept a lost bet, house already paid 0.0001 BTC. Now remains another 0.0001 BTC from the Tx processing fee of 0.0002 BTC they mentioned in their FAQ. Whenever, a winning bet is paid, all these small bets are accumulated and paid from the hot wallet. This increases the Tx size and hence the mining fee required for quick confirmation. So, let us have a look at the latest winning bet right now, i.e. Bet #537. Wining Tx: https://blockchain.info/tx/0e6af2f890bac066d349c2b56fff45aa62ddac0fd8b2a5706e5d5212ea5295d9Tx fee: 0.0002 BTC For this, bet 0.0001 BTC was already with the house from the deposit of the winner of Bet #537. But, who'll pay the rest of 0.0001 BTC? That is taken from the loser of Bet #530. That is how it is compensated. This is why I said 0.0002 BTC is used in mining fee. I hope it makes sense now.

What do you mean by this? I think they doesnt have any issue about the paying or everything seems quite good though. And they have some big payout too. The only problem is about their cold wallet which they never said how much they got it for now

What do you mean by this? Last time I played here about a month ago. I saw a few old sites scamming recently. So, thought of asking about it before playing. I think they doesnt have any issue about the paying or everything seems quite good though. And they have some big payout too.
That's nice to know. How do u know about big payouts? The only problem is about their cold wallet which they never said how much they got it for now
That's not an issue as long as they are not accepting investment in the bankroll. Most of the sites, that does not accept investment in bankroll, does not show their cold wallet.

Nice to see this game growing. They introduced the concept of block hash based provably fair checking. Now many sites seem to be trying to copy the same concept. I wish, the original game that introduced the idea remains in the market.

It's not 0%... as explained higher, the bet fees are killing you.

It is definitely 0%. Both dooglus & me have explained above. Mining fees and bet fees are not the same thing.
