💰Write a spoof review of traditional money to win Bitcoin with Cloudbet! 💰

(Second entry)

Does #fiat have expiration date?!

I have some EURO from last time I went abroad and I've read somewhere that mine it's old and will not be accepted after some time.
When I acquired them I was not told about their expiration date. Now I kinda feel scammed...

This belongs here too:

Entries are now closed for our #ReviewFiat competition!

We'll now begin the difficult process of picking our favourites from all your awesome reviews.

We should be announcing the winners in a few hours time, along with the raffle tickets for tomorrow's prize draw.

While you wait, don't forget to log in to your Cloudbet account to see what's behind door number 4 on your advent calendar!

Good luck!

Afternoon all!

It’s that time you’ve all been waiting for - announcing the winners of our Review Fiat competition!

Both the quality and quantity of entries we received was much higher than expected, so picking our winners took a little bit longer than we initially planned!

After a few hours of arguments ‘passionate discussions’ the team have finally settled on a grand prize winner, along with 4 runners up who didn’t quite make the cut:

Grand Prize Winner - Wins 0.043 BTC!

Kriptopsina

Runners Up - Win 0.017 BTC each!

Trofo

BUSHbuddy

LoyceV

@Athreekv

Special mentions - Win Physical Bitcoins!

Wendigo
taikuri13
CryptoSmith1
NeuroticFish
@GhanmiChokri
@MoneyBallSrts
niceboy999
lonte77
@bitcoinskrill
@ran17ron

Huge congratulations to all our winners, and thanks to everyone who took part!

We’ll be in touch with the winners directly via DM to arrange prize delivery, and will start sending out all the prizes tomorrow morning.

For a full breakdown of the competition, and our thoughts on the winning entries, head over to the Cloudbet blog!

Don’t forget the raffle!

Don’t worry if your entry hasn’t been chosen - there’s still a chance to win bitcoin with our raffle!

Thanks. Really happy with my runner up place in this contest. There was some world class attempts which cracked me up real good. Hope there will be more initiatives like this one which encourage members to write funny content.

You even prettied up my entry so double thanks.

I wish to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to team @cloudbet. It was cool. Thank you. You are the best.

I'm very happy. I wrote a review for two days, but I didn’t hope that I could win. The competition is really very funny. In addition, I congratulate the other winners. Grin

Trofo your post made me smile.

The raffle will be won by the person who's ticket matches the last two digits of the hash of the next Bitcoin block that's mined! Shocked

Keep refreshing! Grin

I got too excited there - should have put "the last two digits of the hash" (not the height), as stated on the blog article Tongue

Yes the probability should be random.

First one was 79, so we are still searching for that winner!

That's it, we have a winner! Cheesy

The last two digits of the hash for the latest bitcoin block mined is 12, so...

Congratulations to @ran17ron on winning the raffle!

We'll be in touch via DM to arrange delivery of your 0.029 BTC!

Thanks to everyone who took part in #ReviewFiat, we'll have even more competitions on the way in the new year, so stay tuned!

I dind’t win any prizes. Sad. :/
Congrats to all the winners.

Anyway, @ran17ron is part of the special prizes winner, is he still qualified for the raffle?

It was only the BTC prize winners that were discounted from the raffle, we thought it would have been a bit unfair to the special mentions to lose out on bitcoin currency by winning a commemorative coin! Wink

Sorry you weren't selected, but we will be running a brand new competition in January with even more prizes up for grabs!

I've PMed all the winners but I'm still waiting on details from people, don't forget to respond to claim your prize!

For everyone who has responded - I'm just waiting on a few more replies before sending out the prizes in bulk, I'll update soon

Thanks,

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

No hard feelings. Its my pleasure to be part of this contest. Will do better next time for sure. More power for the team, and keep on sharing the blessing. 😊😊😊

hi cloudbet since you are using the last 2 digits of the block hash doesn't that automatically disadvantage/remove users holding single numbered tickets?

And using the block that was used to pick the winner...how is 2 not considered a winner? TBH i think double digit ticket numbers are more favored using this method...but this is probably now water under the bridge and need to try next time

Well I am guessing that single digit numbers should have been written with 0 in front. That way in case of this block, 2 would be a winner if last two digits were 02. Sounds perfectly OK/legit to me, am I missing something?

it might be too much work but can you find a block hash with double 0 or a block hash to qualify single numbered tickets ignoring any letters

if this was a race horse ticket 0 would stand at 1000/1

then single digit tickets might stand at 100/1

then double digits might be considered the favorites @ 8/1

anyway I was on the favored side so no biggie Cheesy

@roosbit The draw was for the last 2 digits as Trofo said above, so single digit numbers would win with a 0 in front of them. Sorry for the disappointment, but I'm already planning a new competition to kick off the new year in January, and there will be plenty of chances to win bitcoin or other tech goodies! Grin

Apologies for the delay in getting the prizes sent out, I'm just waiting on one more person to send their wallet address and then they will all be going out in one batch. If I don't receive the missing one by this afternoon I'll just send the others out anyway so you aren't kept waiting any longer.

Have a great day!

Ronnie @ Cloudbet
