The competition ended with the prize pool over 418 LTC, and the 1. prize was 209 LTC. Quite nice! Congratulations!

Is the site down? I'm only getting a spinning wheel when I try to load the site.

Hey there, I'm having the same issue.  I've sent a message to Ethan about this as well as a support ticket, so as soon as he sees them he should be able to resolve it pretty quickly.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Looks to have resolved all the site issues by now, everything works fine for me,,, and well done again to the winners of the LTC competition!

Especially to who else but kolloh who bagged himself 209 LTC! Wagering 19k LTC means +EV too!

318 LTC profit is amazing, looks like our LTC bankroll was really thirsty;)

Account recovered, thanks ethan_nx & Kiritsugu !

Our Let's Encrypt certificate expired and did not renew automatically - I've fixed it as soon as I woke up. Sorry about that, I'll need to manually supervise the renewal next time.

Cheers,

Is there any way for me to access the bet history (overall, not just my own) other than one bet at a time through the bet lookup? I'd like to do some stats and stuff but I get tired of typing bet numbers in one at a time to get the information.

I suppose you could send in an email to support@yolodice.com and ask Ethan for this information, but I'm not sure how many bets you're looking for - YD has several billion bets placed.  It doesn't hurt to ask though, I imagine he could probably provide you with something.

I think it would be nice that when making rain, that it would automatically not tip anyone on your ignore list......any comments ?
I think it would help with PM beggars ......your can ignore them and not see them in chat .......but they still get rain just by being active...that sucks

Cheers Jon

Happy New Year Yolo and all friends! Very proud to be a part of the growing yolo community, I still think even after all the new competitors coming we still have one of the most unique dice sites with instant recognizability!

Here is to more and beyond!

Good point to ask for, but maybe just needs to do manual tipping for now,,, that way you tip only who you want;)

[leea-1334]

Started my new year in style,,, late but still good luck, I played totally against my own style of slow patient play and decided I would go big, and the luck went on my side, grew my balance by about 8%++ in just under a minute;)

And today, again went big and almost bust just ONE bet away from losing it all.

I will probably not do this again for a long time. #TeamYOLO

WEEKLY COMPETITIONS

Aka "finally something new" :-)

https://yolodice.com/#weekly

We are launching Weekly Competitions - these are just like regular wagering competitions, but running each week, for each coin independently.

Here's what they really are:
-    The competitions start and end at 12 AM (0:00 UTC) every Monday (midnight Sun/Mon) and last exactly 7 days.
-    Competitions for each coin are separate.
-    There are only three prizes for the first 3 places for each coin.
-    The more you wager the higher you are on the leaderboard. To beat another player you have to wager more than them.
-    The prize pool is dynamic, based on weekly site profit.
-    Everyone can join, just start placing bets in any coin.
-    Prizes are sent within 1h after the competitions end.

We've launched weekly competitions today, in the middle of the week, so the first round is only 3 days.

The next full cycle starts on Monday and.. stay tuned! We'll boost the prize pools to make it fun!

Check out at:

Weekly contests are nice! Maybe it would be better one contest for all coins can't see reason behind separation and four different prize pools

I think it makes sense the way it is so for example if someone only plays in btc or someone who only plays in doge they can win the btc contest having one comp for al) coins would seem a bit strange

One reason is that there might be more opportunities, and more chances for spotting these EV+ spots. The other is that I don't want to compare wagered amounts using exchange ratios, e.g. from LTC to BTC. It's just asking for trouble.

The first round of weekly competitions is almost over, last chance people!

Cheers,
Ethan

I've just sent the prizes for the first weekly round. The next round has ~0.4 BTC in prize pools (in BTC+LTC+ETH+DOGE) and 10 prizes for each coin (=40 together). Don't miss it! https://yolodice.com/#weekly

Very cool new "something new" update guys! I think the real-time update is not something every other wager contest has so that is something really nice to see. Congrats to the first 2020 winners:)

That is a total value of almost $4000 in prizes,,, I know, BTC is down now but 10k soon right everyone?

YOLOdice players, we would like your opinion!

A topic that comes up often for many players is bet speed: What can YOLOdice do to make bets faster?


First, you must understand that bet speeds are determined largely by your own internet speed, but also your distance from the YOLOdice servers.  For example the servers are in Europe (Ireland), so players in EU will tend to have much higher bet speeds than players in the USA, or the Philippines, which are much further away.  However, there's another important factor that tends to get forgotten (this is the important one for this discussion): How much of the site's bet history is available on-demand?

In YOLOdice's case, we have every single bet placed (nearly 7 BILLION) instantly available for players to look at whenever they please.  However, if we were to limit this stored bet amount, to something like the last 250 Million bets placed, or only bets placed within the last month, according to Ethan, we could significantly decrease induced bet delays, and bet speed in general for regular bets would likely improve (but again, distance from server and internet speed matter the most for this).



So here's the million-dollar question we'd like you guys to form your opinions on:

Would you prefer to have access to all bets placed on YOLOdice (as it is now), or increased bet speeds but without on-demand older bets?

Tough call its nice to be able to see all bets but we might have to compromise guys I'm guessing thats what happened with dooglus on just-dice since you cannot see every bet placed on JD if there are a lot of users running bots or playing in general ...maybe we can do a public vote?

That's sort of the idea of asking for people's opinions, Ethan just wants to know what the general consensus is.
