Nothing fun in this round man... Sorry... No Jackpot, very high time restrictions, etc... It's too risky.

There are two problems with this round.
First, there is no jackpot. Jackpots make the games go longer because a small risk has a chance of a very high reward if you're the last one in.
Second, it's a doubling game. With doubling, it takes a lot longer for people to get paid out, so people are less willing to take the risk.
It just isn't worth the risk of 1 BTC for most people, so the game dies.

Exactly, no incentive to keep depositing every day. The high time length isn't so good. 24 - 36 is where you want to keep it going...

A jackpot takes away from getting paid out and with 1.00 btc it isnt worth  making a jackpot

That's the wrong philosophy, though. You need people to invest to make any profit, and if there's no jackpot, there's no incentive for anyone to invest after a certain point, which in your game is right at the beginning.
When I made my game, I took this into account, and it currently has 15 investors (including me a few times). The biggest problems with my game are that there are 1% transaction fees (psychological deterrent, doesn't actually produce much profit for me - also it creates a mess in my BTC client) and that it lasts 72 hrs, which is probably too long. The two other games with similar structure to make are also doing very well (I won't name any of the three to avoid advertising on your game).
