Fixed and thanks to you realizing that I got to payout someone else! You da MAN! I like that you added the "Available For Payout:". also. I like this because: Say I am next to get paid, but the round is ending in a few hours. I can recoup part of my bet by betting again, enough to trigger a payout to myself. The "Available For Payout:" helps me decide if it's worth it to do this, and how much to send. Plus, I'm all for more transparency. Thanks again, TheBitMan.

I think people will not enter as much if the jackpot is that low. Do you think I should lower the min entry and then more people would join??

I think, in all multiply / ponzi games, the majority of people enter at the very beginning.
If you want more people to join, you need to get their entries up on the site ASAP, and pay them out right away, especially in the beginning. The first 2 hours are critical.
Take, bitcat.ch, for example. He gets a lot of people to re-enter because of the reasons I started above. I know he's automated, and you do it by hand, but I think for those first few hours you need to be on top of it more.
I like the 1.4x you do (bitcat.ch's 1.2 is too low, in my opinion), and the minimum of .25 is good. Maybe make the max 1.0. Then some people would enter twice at 1 instead of once at 2.
Also, I would prefer you pay out exactly 1.4x. So for a bet of 1, pay me back 1.4. Take the fees / jackpot out of the money that goes in the pot. That makes more sense to me, and makes the numbers more even.
So if I pay 1 BTC, you take 0.02 BTC for the jackpot, and 0.02 BTC for the game fee. Put 0.96 in the pot, and mark my "Gets back" at 1.4. Does that make sense?
You run a good game. With a few tweaks, it could be a great game.

It says my payment address is 1JfLkCMzzBobw9F4irAcnfrhUCMxb2JQtf and I donated .34.
However, my address is 1FSqPC6d5DTh2MhF14rkiDnKPp7MKzQgy2. I believe you have screwed up. please look into this!

That's due to blockexplorer, it does that. It's normal and you will still receive the payment, however if you feel more comfortable I will replace it with the address you have listed.
