Very fun little game.
The website is nice, the game plays smoothly, and the game is addictive, lol.

I managed to make a ~0.007BTC profit with one of the codes. Now let's see if they paid out profits.  

Other than that .. seems pretty legit and serious to me. Your ANN thread could use a little bit more efforts tho.

Edit : Just received the BTC I have won. It's cool so far~
Thank you and good luck with the project !

Okay, so I made a little deposit back to try out. It is credited after it reaches 1 confirmation.
Lost my deposit of course.

However, great concept for a game.
Basic features are working good.

Only thing that bugs me is, the game's operator should make it provably fair, to prevent them to tamper with outcomes, shall they be malicious and cheat if their game gains traction.
I am not saying they are malicious and that they will cheat ! I am just saying, why leave that possibility open ?

Thanks for your thoughts.  We looked at a couple of ways of doing this.  If the winning slot is chosen at start, we would know the slot to choose.  If the winning slot is chosen at the end we could favor some users over other users.

We did not like the idea of predetermining a winner and storing this information.  Currently, the site determines the winner as a random number once all slots are taken.

Provably fair is VERY important if you are bidding against the house.  We feel that the house advantage built into each blink and the 1% transaction fee is good enough to run the service.  The house wins with every blink and every deposit or withdrawal.  No need to mess with the balance of wins.

Unlike other websites, we need users to drive the lottery process on the website.  When a user wins, they will hopefully go on to blink several more times and engage more users.  We want our users to blink as much as possible and have fun

Having said that, we may change this methodology in the future if it proves to be a hurdle.

New promos posted to Twitter!  Players have won over $2,000 today from blinks.

Had fun playing with the promo btc. 
Too bad that I didn't win any game that I've participated in.

I have to agree with yogg, quite a nice and unique game indeed. This will be a good game once there are a few more players.

Is there any possibility to create a custom game? If not, I wish there is more game with a less amount of required btc to get a spot? Or maybe I just didn't noticed but the games I participated in was asking for a 0.002 btc as bet.

btw, the site takes too long when loading on mobile.

Thanks for the feedback Jacee.

We do intend on making the ability to create custom games once there are more users.  We figured that it may create too much confusion at this point.

We adjusted our template limits down now to allow people to make better use of promos

registered and used a code, successfully lost 0.1 bonus eth
a few ideas- there are only that many different patterns of the pot available, wish there were 5-6 different ones with a wider variety of prizes
with time, when you gather stats , you will be able to see what kind of games are more popular ,I bet it would be the cheaper per entry ones
for example if a player depoes 0.005 eth, he won't be able to participate in more than one blink and the rest of his balance would be a deadweight (if he loses)
custom games should be a nice addition, also sad that you cannot enter more than one code,haha (not really,I understand that a 50$ for free several times would be too much)

all in all, yet another "share the pot" games , but it does look unique and better than the other 4 or 5  I have seen already
provably fair is an issue, we have to trust the owner doesn't do any shenanigans with the bets,also
if anyone has withdrawn the money from the site , please let us know, do not be shy
try the game if you can manage to get one of the codes and hope that there are still some that are online to not sit and wait for the spots to be taken

I did. I withdrew my promo winnings. Then I deposited some of that back. Both function works.

Its not just about the house, you can easily create your own account, go into one of the games and make yourself win in code.

I discussed this with our people and we will implement a provably fair routine over the next several days.

More importantly, new promo codes are on twitter.

[panjul07]

Tried it with the promo code (0.004btc) but too bad I was not lucky enough to win against other users. Yes, the game works perfectly aside the issue about the provably fair system to generate the winner.
The promo code is also good as users are unable to withdraw it unless users are lucky enough to win from the free btc/eth promo. I have to agree about the suggestion to create a custom game so there will be much more available games to play where players are able to choose which amount that are suitable with their balance.

[stomachgrowls]

Nice concept and a unique game which it do have some decent bonus to try it up and it works flawlessly but im keeping my eye on next days about the provably fair on this one.

btw, the site takes too long when loading on mobile.

Same on my part where it do takes too long to load when i do firstly surfed this site on mobile but when i switch to pc there no problem.Hope it would be fixed.

Awesome! BTW, I want to report that there is no option to create an account or log in on the website when I am viewing it on my smartphone.

There also seem to be a bug or something with the USD value equivalent of the btc price, I have a screenshot here:



I see that the limit for redeeming a promo code was also increased to once per week now?

At the time of writing 1 ETH = $ 290.49 USD.
So 0.00620000 ETH = $ 1.81
And 0.00210000 ETH = $ 0.61

Is there something I am not seeing?  I am currently sober but that does not mean anything.

The promo limit has been temporarily increased to 1 week while we work on additional features.

Ah! It was ETH. I didn't notice since I was playing with Bitcoin and I clicked on your link from OP and I guess it automatically redirect to the ETH blinks.
I apologise.

I see. I hope you can decrease the tine for redeeming promo again. I had lost all the BTCs I received from the promo code I used yesterday.

Definitely.  There has been some hoarding of promo codes (imagine that).  We are looking at ways of curtailing it.  We hope to implement faucets instead this weekend which may help or provide an alternative to promos.

We are glad people are having fun though.

It seems there is a little update on the game, the game was using $ but it is using mBTC but it makes a little bit confusion as user's balance is still shown in $ instead of mBTC. Hopefully you can use the same denomination on both balance and amount on the game.
I also want to complain about your registration process, as users are able to use any emails (even email of other people) to register because there is no email verification needed to create an account. It has significant effect especially about the promo code as user may register as many as accounts they wish by using any emails to abuse the promo. Create a new better promo that cant be abused easily like what you have now is much more better.

Thanks for the feedback.  Yes after feedback from several people, including the post earlier about currency, we made the blinks display as cryptocurrency only with tool tips to the currency in the user's profile.  We are looking at a couple of different ways of displaying this information on the menubar so it was not implemented at the same time.

There are a few promo mechanisms in place to prevent the same person from redeeming them but they can be bypassed.

Keep the feedback coming, we are loving it!  Thanks for everybody's help!

The referral program on this site looks confusing to me, as it seems that the site would only credit you for the first 4 blinks for every users you refer to the site when your referrals deposit either bitcoin or ethereum to play on the site. I think most gambling sites in the market would usually allow people to earn the commission on all the number of games played by your referrals, so it does not look attractive to refer anyone if it only allows you to earn commission for the first 4 blinks.
