Quite interested on scratching some card but i cant risk to turn off my AV.

[rijaljun]

It is a faucet game, isn't it? I thought it is a lottery site / gambling site. I tried to check but the site keeps bring me to URL shortener or other unknown websites when I click the golden ticket button. The website also looks a bit weird, not as you said, it's not easy to play at all and maybe has virus on it

[Bitkoyns]

eh? I don't really like seeing ads after ads just for a really low low chance of winning few satoshis. goodluck anyway on your site.

[mindrust]

I tried to play but it sent me to a stupid website called

Code:

exe.io

. And now I saw the trojan warnings above. I think I'll stay the fuck away.

[kryptqnick]

At first, I got interested, since one can play for free. Even though it seems to me that the whole point of scratching is literally doing it physically, I wanted to give it a try. However, my antivirus software also warned me and blocked some threats. Moreover, grabbing the golden ticket was simply impossible. Either the website is trying to scam people/load them with spam/harm them in some other way or it's collaborating with very nasty advertising providers. Until all of this is sorted out and cleaned up, I'm definitely staying away from this website.

[Kema]

AFAIK those are false alerts triggered by Adf.ly, but it seems it's affecting enough people that I'll have to turn that particular ad off.
(Seems it's a NOD32 problem?)
Avast isn't alerting me to anything troublesome at least. Regardless, I turned the ad off and that should be the end of any alerts.

Quidat> The ad has been removed, it should solve the issue.

rijaljun> Looks weird how? What browser are you using? Microsoft browsers are not supported which is clearly indicated on the page. The short link earns you a ticket. If you win, you can opt to either withdraw your winnings or buy new tickets.
I don't see how it can be made any simpler. Click button -> click link -> follow link -> scratch card -> profit...

Bitkoyns> I had a choice, make it available for everyone or make it a full on "casino page". I prefer to provide fun little distractions that everyone can play with. If you'd rather deposit money and play for high stakes, that's a personal preference and quite ok.
If you have any ideas on how to finance a game without forcing the players to pay, I'm all ears.

mindrust> exe.io is a link shortener, they provide an interstitial advertising page before redirecting you to the scratch card. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and the prizes has to be financed somehow. If you are unfamiliar with link shorteners there are plenty of information available on line.

There are some prizes that are quite substantial, but you have to live in the real world. If you're expecting to find a "click a button to become millionaire" website, I'm afraid you'll have to keep looking.
If anyone is interested in a little distraction where you can win some bitcoin if you're lucky, this is the right place. Maybe you're sitting bored at work, scratch a ticket... Maybe you're waiting for the bus, scratch a ticket...
It's free, it doesn't cost you anything, and you could just be the lucky winner of a big prize.

There are plenty of online casinos out there who would be more than happy to take your money, I'm not one of those. I just provide something fun to play with if you have some time to spare.

PS there are plenty of lives that have been destroyed by gambling addiction, I will not be a part of that tragedy. iScratch.it is a safe zone, you never leave with less than you entered. You can only go up!

Please share which shortener you experienced? I am trying to weed out the rotten eggs, but I need to know which ones are bad.
I personally have no problem clicking through these shorteners, but I'm familiar with the concept. On average it takes me maybe 20-30s in total to get a free ticket.
Since the ad I had on the page has been removed, there shouldn't be any more alerts now?

[mindrust]

OP did you try your website yourself? Most people here either have an antivirus software or an adblock plugin or both. I think you need to install adblock, ublock, avast etc and try to play it yourself again.

I know what a URL shortener is but I just couldn't play the game. Don't know if it was my AV or adblock. It is probably not a bright idea to fund your casino with a URL shortener, just saying.

Before you go all condescending on us, let's look at the facts shall we? I have Avast installed, I run Brave, the instructions specifically state that you need to turn off your adblocker. I believe I also noted in a previous post that I personally have no problems what so ever clicking through the short links. I even gave you a rough estimate of how long it takes me on average.
Going one step further, it seems most users on average clears the short links in some 30'ish seconds.
So, between the two of us, who's the one with a problem here?

Now, there is some merit to the critique.
Some short links are broken, some are overly complicated, some take way too long, etc. But I need your help figuring out which ones to drop. Just making unsubstantiated accusations and whining in general isn't going to help solve anything. So please, try to be a little constructive here. If there is a problem, tell me some details so that I can fix it. I already killed the ad that was triggering the alerts.

rijaljun> Looks weird how? What browser are you using? Microsoft browsers are not supported which is clearly indicated on the page. The short link earns you a ticket. If you win, you can opt to either withdraw your winnings or buy new tickets.
I don't see how it can be made any simpler. Click button -> click link -> follow link -> scratch card -> profit...

did anyone already won from your website? because i just try to scratch for a few times but i never get a profit

Maybe you need to cratches more tickets and have a chance of winning. Why it leads me to exi.io link and saying click the button and download Adblock to see all casino's ad. To be honest it looks like we feel having doubt when it comes to downloading not well-known link.
It's sound interesting because there is a free scratch but I am disappointed because it leads me to other sites. I guess it needs more development. However, welcome to the gambling community.

Lots of ads and too much hassle anytime theres a pop up (normal for shortened links). I try to scratch 1 ticket and i do almost hit up 1M sats but wont do further more due to hassle of those ads. 

[crwth]

For a website that Is for gambling shouldn't use ads like that. It's annoying. You know when you are just downloading a file, and you need to go through a lot of links shortened, I think it's going to be like that. With all the posts above, I won't be trying to access it.

Gambling should be quick and easy to access not hidden with a bunch of ads.

[DaveF]

Well the 1st clickthough ad for me was blocked by malwarebytes:

-Website Data-
Category: PUP
Domain: free.propdfconverter.com
IP Address: 35.244.218.203
Port: [64921]
Type: Outbound

The 2nd one was then blocked by Norton, but they tend to bit a bit overly paranoid.
So yeah, it's going to be an issue.
Sorry, it looked like a fun concept.

No... I just hate the short links or redirect links, that's like wasting my time and effort and yet I can win. So for me, this site is not really interesting as it takes too much of my time to play, yepp... again for me  it's not easy to play.

For a lottery scratch game then it wont really be that easy to win up unless if we are lucky on the first hit.

Tend to open the site and lots of pop outs and warning with my antivirus.Same as others do tell on this thread
that its totally a waste of time.

Did someone able to win from these scratch cards.Anyone?

Checked the site also because I had free time but when I got warning with my antivirus, I didn't continue. Better be safe than sorry. The steps are simple but when you get the pop up warning, are you going to exchange your security for nothing? I don't think this is worth your time either.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Actually, when I entered the site, it directed me through a URL shortener, I do not think it is a legitimate system, because it is not very professional to be redirected in this way, and my PC began to slow down, in this way it is not recommended get in. Now, this can be corrected quickly (I clarify that this is the initial problem I encountered) that can be corrected so that others do not use some type of phishing. It is important that they can make the correction and enjoy the site.

I didn't say hard to win, it's not about easy to win or hard to win but more likely I never ever know when I will win so I won't know when I will stop seeing those annoying ads links. It also came to my mind that the owner doesn't really want to give free money (no one wants to give free money) and he is trying to get profit from the traffic, that's all.

I would suggest ads that are placed in the side panel of the home page instead of adf.ly that is so annoying. You can use this for example https://a-ads.com/

You can place ads on top, bottom and side part of the website. Much user friendly and not like those ads where you are required to click skip ads or something.

[panjul07]

First of all why it is on gambling board while it is like faucet where people can get free satoshi by playing the scratch game?Is there any ways for users to deposit and risking their money?
If there is a real gambling activity in this site where people can deposit then how about the fairness of each game? If there is no real gambling activity here then it must be moved to Micro Earning board.
Like most other people said previously, the site is blocked by my antivirus as well.

Normal move to be done by anyone who do make a site which is on how to monetize it and this one do target out traffic out of those lottery tickets and yes those ads are very annoying which would really poke out our in depth anger.

Sometimes this pop up warnings from our antivirus are false ones but I cant blame people not to be cautious anytime we do face up those alerts.

[magneto]

I would STRONGLY suggest that you think of an alternative form of generating revenue. It seems like you're currently working on it already, but it NEEDs to be done asap.

The links that pop up as a result of pressing "skip" on the landing page is not under your moderation or control, and can be harmful from what I've seen. I got redirected to 2 extremely shady sites that could potentially be threats, both of them 18+ apparently.

Also, perhaps enhance your graphics. The ideation is good but the execution is definitely lacking still.

Yeah, I also believe the website was banned to generate by the Anti-virus that is why it won't appear when you clicked it. And it is not even a gambling thing, scratch and win free prizes? And posting this on the forum like this with approximately thousands of hundreds of people will turn that website into a week memory as they were going to abuse that platform. Website's fund from advertisements will be cut short as people will just cause traffic on site because it's free.

[nakamura12]

We can't predict on when we will win after scratching the ticket. Ads are quite annoying if you ask me about it. Bad short links are also annoying if you ask me. When getting a ticket it redirect me to another website or a blank page the same as a page that did not load completely and only the url is shown in address bar.

[Haunebu]

Just checked out the site and the design is pretty bland though the instructions were pretty clear. Did not face any anti-virus issues like the others and scratched a couple of cards successfully, but I did not win anything.

I don't understand why anyone would be interested unless someone actually wins a huge amount. Also, we need to wade through a bunch of advertisements everytime. Did not expect much, but this is worse than a faucet.

[2double0]

Are you testing your website through our experience?
I don't see anything interesting on the site and when tried to play by tapping the button that says "Fetch the Golden Lottery", it took me to an advertising website where it asked me to disable the Ad blocker. I got nothing but too many pop-ups and I hate them all a lot, still tried to get to a link but didn't earn anything over your website. Please add a how-to page explaining what do we need to do to win, and please remove those redirecting links I really hate them.

[Ucy]

How do you make money from this if it's totally free? from advertisements? And how about provable fair feature? Is that available?
Am a bit cautious trying this on my computer browser after reading the experiences of members above me on how anti-virus software reacted to the website. I guess you should fix that and possibly make your game mobile phone compatible

[bellicose]

Something I did not quite understand, why when I try to get one ticket to participate in the lottery, it redirects me to some site and asks to install something? It looks like ordinary spam, I didn’t want to participate.

[Kema]

Instead of getting sucked into confrontational rhetoric, I’ll try to use the critique for something positive.
So, I’ll go back to the drawing board, run some numbers, play with some ideas, and see if I can come up with something that works.
There are plenty of online casinos that would love to take your money, I will not go that route.

[ethereumhunter]

Maybe you need to apply with the other advertisers to get additional revenue because I feel it's too annoying to see many new pop-ups from the advertisers that show to me. I feel that really disturbs me to see what next thing that will show up. But that is only a suggestion to you, and if you still want to use the ads like that, it's okay.

I like the design, it's a catchy page, and that is a yellow color which will attract more visitor, but of course, that will depend on who they are.

Im impressed on what you are trying to achieve or your main goal and yes you arent getting money from your players but you are still monetizing them.
Its good to look that you are taking these criticism positively rather than on getting angry with it which is nice.I do complain also that there are lots of ads popping
out anytime i do click up and same as others said this is really annoying but as part of monetizing its considerable and we all know that you cant please anybody on here.

[NeuroticFish]

Are you testing your website through our experience?

I gave this site one minute of my life and I am going to second this. I couldn't make it work with Chrome.
Opening various (some quite strange) ads works, but the main functionality, to actually show something to scratch, doesn't.

I'm pretty sure the money that they were giving away is from the advertisements on the website. And you're right there is something wrong with the website cause my anti-virus reacted too, seems like that website contains malware. I guess if they were making that free just to cause web traffic it's good but if it's something that mines data on the computer or some kind of hacking then they fail to do so.
