Now that you are aware of it, you should do as what you've said and follow our suggestions of hiring an escrow for the funds of your platform to make sure that they're safe.

It's also a good start and nice strategy if you'll do the no entry wager fee with the prize whoever the winner is. The choice depends on you how you'll gain the trust of the community because you're just starting out.

Yeah that's very important with this escrow, can be trusted by many people, as much as possible in the first round is promotion so that many people can trust.
With current deposit fees, maybe many people ask where the funds are going, especially when the wallet is always changing, what Dromie said above.

So do your best here, don't make you regret it. Your awareness now can increase that this site is legitimate if you have used the trusted escrow on this forum.

It's the best move that he can if he wants to gain the trust of the public. And for the list of escrows, this is one of the list that he can look at. I also think that there's another list for escrow that includes others that are not on this list.

List of escrow: Recommended bitcointalk escrow services

There are a couple people who have already tried the web-site (7 to be specific) who have not paid the wager fee (again, totally expected), but if that trend continues, my thought was to just run this first round without any entry fee to show that I am not trying to scam anybody.

Again, thanks for everybody's feedback!

I think this is the Best way to Lure gamblers to try your Site , because Sending funds to a Newly created account that had just Popped out from Nowhere is far from my Idea .Even if that is 4$ in as what you say so But 0.0001btc is somewhere in 8-14$ from 30,000$ value of Bitcoin .

Just Update the OP if you will be doing this raffle without Fee and surely dozens or hundreds will participate,

Everything on this is subject for suspicion we are not newbies here, we know what a real and reputable gambling site looks like, by not getting a copper membership for his gambling announcement, will make us think if he is going to be here in a long term and for not offering escrow too, if you ask me I will not fall for this.

I like forum games like this.  It is a little concerning that money is being asked for up front, but as others have stated, with a trusted escrow I don't think there will be many issues.  Good luck with the game, and if you need someone trustworthy to hold some funds for you so that players can feel confident their money won't disappear, let me know.

How does it work?
Guess the last two digits of the block size for the first block mined on the Bitcoin blockchain after 1/18/2021, 12:00 AM GMT+8.
Transfer a minimum of 0.0001 BTC to the wallet address you will be given to lock in your guess.
Once the block has been mined, if your guess is correct, we will send your winnings to the wallet address that you give us.
That's it!

That's over 3 dollars bet per entry.. I guess that's a big minimum... and this site is new and has not gain reputation yet.
I think you can start with some promotion here, I'm afraid you'll not be able to get gamblers here.

other's suggested to escrow the reward, for a gambling site it's not necessary as long as you have a good reputation.

There it goes OP , Here is Og Willing to handle the Funds , Just say so and we will Rock this Game .

Waiting for OP's Update since we are nearing the Round Day.

~ Each guess costs a minimum of 0.0001 BTC with higher wagers entitling you to a bigger portion of the 0.01 BTC prize pool in case of multiple correct guesses.

As I thought, there's a little catch. How much is your cut? You should be transparent from the start. Most casinos have a 1% house edge and if you will charge a percentage that's significantly higher than that, I don't know if anyone would play your game even if you hire a reputable escrow.

[RokokGudangGaram]

The idea is pretty simple to follow but it will be better if you will just create a raffle to those who almost hit the correct guess in case there is no winner in that week so there will always be a winner in every week draw.

Seeing the prize increases is good also but still it will be better if there is always a winner in every weeks draw instead of adding the week pool to the next week draw if in case there are no correct guesses. The entry is ranging from 3-4 usd depending on the btc price and if you will be lucky your 3-4 will win 300-400 usd if in case you are the only winner, this is not bad at all.

[Haunebu]

Why on earth would anyone here want to risk their money on a brand new website without any escrow? This is a lottery due to which the odds of winning are extremely low.

How do you expect to expect anyone here to invest in a site whose name is similar to HYIP programs and ponzis? I advise everyone to invest the minimum amount if an escrow is provided though that is risky too.

This wont be an enough thing for you to ensure or to prove out that you wont really be scamming anyone with just one round without having wagering fee.

This doesnt really give out an assurance or doesnt prove anything about credibility and legitimacy and also people cant sure if those 7 people who had tried out
are totally real users and not yours.

As long you wont integrate nor follow most people suggestions about escrow then this wont really change a thing.

these days, people are getting smarter especially that bitcoin is getting valuable in the market. that's right, one round would not give an assurance that you will do the right thing all throughout. but if you will hire a reputable escrow in the forum, maybe people will start playing on your site. but until then, i dont think users here will trust your new site. and also, your site is very simple, which is easy to duplicate if this site didn't achieve anything. do you plan to improve your site and make it more credible?

Same with other raffles around but the difference here is, OP has a designated site.

Are the raffle will be drawn even with few participants get in? Like only 5 users paid for the slots.

I will follow the thread and wait for the January 18 result if someone from Bitcointalk managed to win.

Or better yet, will there be someone from the forum who will be interested to participate in this lottery? Because people here are cautious now in this kind of lottery, no reputation whatsoever. The address that he gave has only 0.01BTC. I don't think he will spend more money on this one.

[romero121]

If any of the trusted members of our forum vouch for the service, this might gain some trust of the bitcointalk users. Until then it is hard to get participants, often we can see more similar draws with limited slots. Mostly this used to happen with the ethereum platform on lucky draw where hundred participants share equal amount and the lucky one receives the entire fund.

[BigBoy89]

Hello  Sahab,

I have a few issues with your lottery.

1) Blockchain fees on every bet

2) Trust

If you want to progress, make it trustless, based on smart-contract. This will solve at least the trust issue.

Good question, how OP will manage if there are only few participants.
Is he willing to take that chances for the sake of his business reputation?

If he'll do that it will surely gain some interest a good start to gather those forum members who loves risking their money in this type of lottery.

For sure there are members here who are keeping an eye to this thread, following
what might be the outcome after Jan 18.

Actually it is not about whom to win and which kind of raffle to handle , the issue Here is the credibility of OP to Accept the Funds and does the Gambler will deal with Him ?

Escrow must be Present and i Saw OgNasty is Offering Service above

and if you need someone trustworthy to hold some funds for you so that players can feel confident their money won't disappear, let me know.  

This one Must be done.

For OP's Plan of gaining trust and Prove He's Intention is Legit in the Forum, maybe 10 raffles is enough to Start His own sooner.

[zidanw]

If he's really serious about that there comes OgNasty which is one of the reputable escrow here in the forum. I really think many people will participate if you let the escrow hold the fund.

[shoreno]

Each guess costs a minimum of 0.0001 BTC with higher wagers entitling you to a bigger portion of the 0.01 BTC prize pool in case of multiple correct guesses.

it would be better if the number that is already been picked by someone cant be picked anymore so that we can only have one winner since the prize isnt millions like on the real lottery but prize here is only 0.01btc and if it will be diveded by two or more winners that will look pretty small anymore .

Verify:
I understand that I am new to the forum and talking about a new site, but we all have to start somewhere right? To show that I am serious about this: My name is Sahab Yazdani, the web-site in question has my name in the footer, I've given a signing message for the prize pool wallet address on the web-site, and I am basing the game on an event/outcome on the Bitcoin blockchain that I cannot possibly forge.

If there is any other way that you would like me to show/prove that I am not a scammer, please let me know. If its a reasonable request, I will make sure to follow through.

did they misslooked this and why they still question your reputation ? and the raffle is being hosted on your website not on this forum , afaik i havent see any new casino that escrow their capital just to prove that they are really legit  but signing a message is one way to prove that you are legit . they better check the signed message or if its possible you can post your signed messsage on here just in case they dont have time to visit your site . good luck

[xandry]

I did this based on the suggestion of this BitCoin Wiki: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Address_reuse

My understanding based on reading that article (and others on the same topic) is that its best practice to NOT reuse addresses and to have a unique address per transaction. Am I understanding the article incorrectly?

I think, changing addresses makes sense only when we want to keep our privacy. In your case, it would be more interesting to have one address so that at any moment anyone can look at stats (how many btc was handled, etc.) and sent some funds to a known address.
