MintDice Bitcoin Casino - SportsBook & Provably Fair Games

[coinfinger]

In my opinion, how if there is a notification message while opening the game? Message which ask players whether they want to enable/disable sound or not on the game. If it is a bit complicated to add then giving an option to disable and enable the sound is enough like what we usually see in most other gambling sites.

From usability-perspectives I would prefer this solution, too. But it is way harder to implement than switching the sounds off per default
Anyways, I would prefer an opt-in for new features, meaning that a user has to explicitly turn on sounds if he/she wants to have them. For existing features I wouldnt touch the default settings, otherwise you may get complains that something isnt working what was already working before.

If we are going to give feedbacks on anything I know website is going through a whole change so might as well put it out there; I think adding new games could be life changing for the website, notification sounds should definitely be disabled as default and maybe disable the "music" thing as well because notification sound is not that bad but the music is really ... not needed? I mean is there a reason to have "music" in a casino?

I feel like we can pick our own songs to listen if we want to from like spotify while we gamble. So the only thing would be removing the music part and adding newer games if I had to give a feedback, that looks like the only things I can think of, we all know there is already an overhaul process going on so maybe we can give better feedbacks after that.

yes some casinos offline have a music that plays on the background  , this adds to ambiance  so that gamblers can relax and have a good mood while playing a gambling but these musics are soft of course  . online casinos tend to copy what we saw/hear offline but what is good online is that you have the ability to disable them and play your own music instead  . alot of online casino sites have the option to turn or off the music or sounds because it can be annoying to some  .

Yes generally physical casinos need usually some type of music or live entertainment. I think one of the reasons is due to all those slot machines noises which can drive a person nuts if they keep hearing it over and over again, if you ever frequent a casino you know exactly what noises we are talking about.

Hence casinos generally have some form of jazz or or blues music since that appeals to most people. They don't want to play rap or heavy metal when many might not like that. But casinos usually on a weekend have some form of live entertainment such as a band.

This is to create a mood so the gambler can enjoy himself. If it was pure quiet then it would be depressing and most people would just quit and go home.

^Waiting for that new games for a while now, hopefully I can bag some bitcoins on those games.

^If we look at the earlier replies on this thread then we can witness how much the site has been developed over months that is the good thing for any project to get succeeded.Speed looks little bit slow while comparing other sites but it feels great now with the animations.And also I remembered there will be new games were getting designed so I am awaiting for them to roll over.

I have no issues with the speed, as long as there's a loading animation and it's loading properly and it is not that really a long wait at all.

Compared to other site the rate of rolling bet looks little bit slower and it will be unnoticed if you cut down the sounds.

Would you prefer it if the sounds were disabled from the start on all games and we gave people the option to enable them? I've thought about doing some A/B testing or just turning them off, but I'm not really sure what people prefer.

No sound in default is also good option to resolve this issue and anyone who wants the sounds and music can turn it on easily because its just on the dice scree itself as big icon.

I guess it's way more better to put an option to turn the sounds on and off, that's more appropriate here IMO. By the way, am I the only one experiencing this but whenever I open the site it's took a little longer to open up?

Probably it's only you, I've tried to access and I have no problem logging in quickly. Might also be the problem with your ISP so check it out. The site loads well and quick on my side so check those possibilities regarding your network.

I always had these loading issue and its just not only the issue of mintdice most of the gambling sites needs 5 or more seconds to load up even if you got high speed internet nd this will only occurs when you login to their wiebsite.

What browser do you use? have you tried using another browser to check if this is just an issue of browser or it's really mintdice and the other casinos that you're logging in? Because on my side, I'm not experiencing this issue so do with other casinos too.

[theskillzdatklls]

On a future update we'll default to keeping the sounds on and the music off, with the option for anyone to turn the music back on.

We also recently were featured in a MorningStar article:

Tried few browsers and the condition is still the same,I don't think this has anything to do with the browser,its just from the website which takes like 5 or more seconds to get loads up but not having any issues once the website opened up which switching the tabs or games.

There have been some lag issues, this had to do with two major things, dealing with a faucet abuser (with cloudflare) and also improving our sockets. Hopefully both are at least better taken care of now than before. If there continues to be some lag please report it here and if possible be specific and we'll try to fix/improve it.

The design looks great but the sidebar menu looks it kinda need more styling, i dont know if its just me but im using android, so maybe its different in a desktop browser.

Sadly, the site isn't ready yet for android but you could make it more responsive i think the functions will work the same.

Also could you add blackjack or betting games for sport games

Hey Sadlife, welcome
It is getting completely restyled and mobile ready... Ideally our plan is to launch this 2.0 product in May if all goes to plan but no promises.

As far as games, at that same time point in May with the 2.0 redesign we plan to launch sports betting. Blackjack is not on the immediate time horizon but hasn't been ruled out either, but I'd suspect that at the earliest that would come 2-3 years from now so don't hold your breath

not on me mate,it is loading fast and fine .

anyway i  have just entered the site recently and created an account and i find no problem loading,the graphics is simply perfect and the site is running smooth.

seems like i have a new found gambling site to spend boredom  and enjoy the day.

[iram3130]

The background music of Plinko is quite holding and I played for like an hour at once... 

Not a big fan of these games, I get more enjoyment than winning or loosing. Hope to get new games soon.

It is too sad that almost all casinos that offer faucet is having troubles with faucet abusers, it is really a shame because most places for example started to remove or already removed their faucet since it did more harm than help them.

The idea behind faucet wasn't to get people earn money, it wasn't even really just help the poor people feel like they gamble neither, it was to show people what type of website a casino is and get them to play and see and if they enjoy the faucet part of the deal, they might also deposit as well. That is the real reason why faucets on casinos really first started.

However with the amount of technology available, many people literally hacked together a bot that could basically try to abuse faucets as much as possible and get as much money as possible. In the end they can't be making too much money from it, plus they are also making sure no one else can use it neither. It is a loss-loss equation that they are too blind to see.

It is nice to see that Mintdice has many attractive plans for the 2.0 version, hopefully all goes as planned. No need to be in a rush for the 2.0 version, make sure everything works fine first before launching the 2.0. Maybe having a closed beta test phase for the 2.0 would be better so you can get some feedback before the official release.

You can't blame them (casinos) for removing that feature, as you've said its being abused heavily by those who knows how to manipulate the system. Whats funny is if this people can send that loophole to the developers of online casinos, they can earn bounty for that.

Agree and its not only for that reason, like for myself who is with Bitsler for a long time and I use their faucet before it was taken down. Most of the time I use that feature so that I can still continue playing even when I don't have enough funds. You know how it feels when you run out of funds and yet you still have that urge to play. Use that function and keep playing but don't forget to add funds to your wallet and not rely on faucets only.

I'm glad to hear you like the music actually. Depends a lot on the person for sure so how to deal with this we haven't exactly figured out. I'm a little disappointed you don't like the games but we're trying our best with a whole new suite of games coming up as you know

We do have a testnet that we use prior to deployment for anything. Since this will be a bigger than normal release when it comes out, I'll ask if we can have a few private beta testers. Thanks for the idea.

Yes, it is quite sad. Fortunately, so far, in the fight between MintDice and faucet abusers, we actually seem to be winning. Whether or not we can win long term with anti-abuse solutions awaits to be seen.

At first I never really understood why bitcoin casinos had faucet instead of just having some demo or play money. Basically the faucet is a very small amount and as long as the game play is the same then it makes no difference between a faucet or play money.

But then when you learn about bitcoins history you find that the faucet had a big role in the adoption of cryptocurrencies. Remember that faucet back in the day that gave 1 BTC per day? So many bitcoin services and websites have started to include a faucet on their site.

Eventually due to large fees, faucets were removed for on-chain transactions. The off-chain faucets for casinos still remained pretty much until 2017 which attracted a bad crowd and led to all this abuse and faucet removal or frozen withdraws.

Hence what casinos do these days is smarter. Just use play money or have some promos for your loyal members.

[justdimin]

^^ The reality is that many people live in third world nations where even 1 dollar a day is a decent income, 30 dollars a month may not be good enough to live off from but it would certainly help them a long way as well, so to abuse the faucets is actually a decent way to make money for many of them.

So, I do understand them, they want just a small amount of money to make a living for themselves, however the method they are doing it is actually could be considered criminal, it is against the rules of the website and you can't just take their money without their permission even if it "looks like" you are doing something you are allowed to do. That is why I don't blame all the casinos that removed their faucets, if people don't use it properly, they don't deserve it all together.
