[BITLOTTO] Mar 1 draw over $2000 or 50BTC! Tickets now 0.1 BTC for Apr 5

[Stephen Gornick]

I've seen that each customer account at Coinbase gets its own Bitcoin addresses.  That would make them not a hosted (shared) EWallet but some form of hybrid hosted EWallet.   That would also then allow Coinbase on the list of clients that can be used to send BitLotto wagers. 

I'm not 100% sure Coinbase works this way but wanted to put it out there that there is yet another type of EWallet.  An inquiry to Coinbase to confirm should probably be made before adding them to the list.

I've made bets directly from my coinbase, just to see if it worked. It did. Coinbase would work with bitlotto as well.

With the recent exchange rate rise, the 0.25 BTC ticket is becoming very expensive. Many new adopters do no want to bet with such a large amount and I think it will start affecting the jackpot (even though historically this hasn't been the case). Cheaper tickets might also bring new players to this game and establishing a large customer base is the key factor in this type of game.

Yes, but that poll has been there like six months and the situation was very different back then.

So, it says the draw is over? Yet the jackpot is still getting bigger?

Probably should be 0.05 each instead so that those that habitually bet 0.25 without checking will get a full 5 tickets instead of "2.5 tickets".  You are going to keep the extra 0.05 (?) or you will have to manually refund it to people who do that.

How long til winner is decided?

I have a REALLY bad internet connection. I estimate my blockchain will be fully caught up tonight and the results will come out right after. Sorry. I'm looking into an alternative way to deal with my poor connection. Perhaps a partner or something.

I'll just refund. I hope not too many people make that mistake.

[dirksizzlebod]

Frankly, it is unacceptable to have to wait this long. Especially with no updates from you. Having to ask is not ideal; you should have updated on bitlotto.com


 I am never playing your lottery again as of now.

I'm inclined to think you have stolen the jackpot. What kind of respectable lottery takes this long to pay out? This is a joke right?

[BurtW]

Calm down.  It takes a while but it always pays.

It's March 7th for crying out loud. Frankly, I think it's scummy that he's already taking action on next month's lottery when he can't even be bothered for over a week to pay out last month's draw. There is no way I'm playing this lottery again.

[BRules]

this lottery is running since August 03, 2011.

AFAIK, it's the oldest lottery bitcoin game running nowadays and the jackpot was lower than the other months. So, just because the payment is taking a little longer, it doesn't mean that his a scammer.

Sorry for the delay. Internet and life sometimes gets in the way!
