bustabit – The original crash game

[leomedina]

It seems like someone won around 10% of the bankroll! What happened?

More than that. The bankroll had ~500 BTC and that player alone has already won a little over 82 BTC. But it's just variance and in the short term swings like that are normal. Still, can't deny it's been a brutal year for investors (negative returns so far). That said, it's not the first time this happens and the bankroll has always recovered eventually, but hard to say when/if that'll be the case here. A bit easier to martingale your way out of trouble when you're sitting on a fat stack

Nothing has happened to Bustabit, but significant damage has happened to the investors . In the long run, the house will recover the losses for sure. But some gamblers will be afraid of placing bets until the house recovers its losses. The user is really lucky as he always managed to bounce back after losing a part of his profit.

Profit has been very volatile, 60 BTC changes like nothing. What is going on?

Profit has been very volatile, 60 BTC changes like nothing. What is going on?

Did it change overnight? Or did it change gradually in the last one month? It's easy to lose lots of Bitcoins very quickly, especially when you win them easy.
I haven't been keeping an eye on this accident, I only read a couple of posts today and it became interesting for me to check things. As I see, in 2026, the biggest profit was 46 Bitcoin. I don't know if it's the person that made a profit of 82 Bitcoin but it's clear that that user lost quite a lot of money or he is the one with 46 Bitcoin profit right now but it's a good news for investors. As I see the loss statistics, the biggest loss in 2026 was 28 Bitcoin by one user, then 19, then 9, 7, 5.7 and so on.

It seems someone won at least 65 BTC recently, as the comission rate was positive yesterday.

All this ups and down are due mosthly to the same guy who, in the timeframe of roughly six months, won around 130 BTC   thanks to a solid strategy and an enviable self-discipline. He basically was ( is) making short daily sessions chasing medium high multipliers, within the range 5x-6x to 15x-20x, and closing every daily session with a new all time high profit for him.
This strategy was working good until it didn't in a single session where he went from +130BTC profit to -9BTC if my memory serves me right: that is the reason of all this rollercoaster in bankroll amount.

Anyway he is good enought to get back to +50BTC net profit in a couple of session, after an initial lower deep, and I think he is going to make it back ( or at least he is intentioned to).

These are his , impressive, statistics at the moment :
Total wagered   4,604.67038 BTC
Profit all-time high   130.68509761 BTC
Profit all-time low   -15.80532807
Net profit   50.55504802 BTC


Entertaining to watch anyway.

The casino is down 318 BTC. What is going on? I had never seen the bankroll lose so much as a percentage, something is off.

At the time you posted it was 318 BTC; right now it is roughly 392 BTC. It clearly shows that the changes are volatile, so I don't think one would expect the amount to be at a certain range after a while

With the ongoing hacks happening to even very big platforms, including casinos, it's understandable that some people may have just decided to divest.

It's a casino loss, not people divesting.

Someone is beating the house edge at Bustabit with his luck. This is a significant loss for the bankroll investors, it is down around 45% now. Looks like the whale has created multiple accounts and getting luck on each of them. He has won 220+ BTC within the last 24 hours. The house will recover the losses for sure. But it may take ages if all the whales decide to avoid Bustabit now as the bankroll is down a lot.

He has said about the negative profit of the bankroll, not about the current bankroll amount.

Keeping aside the casino win/loss situation and zero percent profit for the next 318 BTC, it is somewhat strange to see the bankroll at 392 BTC today. It used to be significantly higher during the time devans was operating the website. I suppose it was understandably always going to be less (as a result of divestment) after it was sold to the present operators but if memory serves correct, it was still significantly higher than current bankroll.

Having said that, the website still has an excellent reputation and is popular with their customers otherwise it would have been shut down a long time ago.

Huge swings aren't that rare when whales play, but as a % of the bankroll, this is one of the biggest drops and maybe the biggest ever. For players the only immediate impact is that the max profit per-game is now "only" ~4 BTC (at the time of writing this).

The wager volume and bankroll size tend to be more or less stable in fiat, not BTC. So the bankroll was worth about the same as it was when Daniel was around (before the past few days' huge wins), because BTC was much cheaper back then.

Did someone seriously win 332 BTC and leave without trying to win the whole bankroll?

eheheh nice question, I was wondering about it as well.

But seems like that player didn't leave yet : judging by betting style, betsize, choice of username (that matched final outcome) he created another account around 15 hours ago and in an hour timeframe won another 15 BTC

Without doubt Bitcoin is worth more today than when you purchased the Bustabit website from devans. Having said that, the bankroll investment is in BTC therefore even though I agree with you about the fiat value, people are looking at the figures using BTC. It will be interesting to see how the situation might change after player with the huge wins decides to move on.

The numbers involved are staggering when converting them to fiat. The 322 BTC wagered are around $27 million at the current rate.

Seems like the user won't stop until the bankroll of Bustabit reaches to 0 BTC . Around 100 BTC was added to the Bustabit bankroll yesterday. The whale is still playing by creating new accounts and continuously making profits. At the time of writing this post, the whale has made 100+ BTC profit again with a new account. And the bankroll of Bustabit is down by 430+ BTC! This is a nightmare for the bankroll investors of Bustabit.

[JollyGood]

First of all, bankroll investors must be seriously considering their position with the massive wins by at least one whale. I have no idea if it is the same person creating multiple accounts or different whales working together taking turns. Is there a way to get clarification on this question?

If massive wins continue then this website might attract more whales and that might not be a good thing for investors. Also, is it completely out of the question to assume that this particular individual might have found some sort of exploit in the game?

There would be nothing better for investors than many whales playing.

"Also, is it completely out of the question to assume that this particular individual might have found some sort of exploit in the game?" This is the thing to worry about.

I doubt that it was a different whale. Only the owner of the platform (leomedina) can clarify it properly. I guess he won't disclose it for privacy reasons.

Most probably he didn't find any exploit. The user has lost the 100+ BTC profit which he made yesterday. And his PnL stats were -51 BTC when he closed his account today. The funniest thing is that the user was addressing the game as rigged after having a big losing streak. The user has said in the chat that he has already lost his previous profits by playing with it at Stake. Therefore, it is going to take ages for the investors to recover the losses.

Perhaps the size of the money involved made some users think he was rigging?
It's unfortunate that he lost the previous profit at stake.com... While we look at amounts he won as huge, I guess by his standards he was never satisfied with what he won.


Why do some accounts appear as "muted"?
