the idea is cool, but you need to show us that you have more 1 BTC to back it all up. until then.. it sounds a bittt (or even more) fishy.

[SatScratch]

the idea is cool,

Sure. Try! And give more feedback!

As promised, here's a signed message from our operating wallet.

Message: "Proof of funds for SatScratch.com - We are SatScratch on Bitcointalk proving ownership of this wallet (0.5 BTC) for satscratch.com. Rest of our Bitcoin holdings are in separate cold wallets for security purposes. 16-Feb-2026."

Good that you have at least provided the proof of part of the bankroll. I strongly recommend you to hire any reputable campaign manager here in this forum and escrow at least part of this (like 0.25BTC) as an insurance. It will certainly establish your credibility more.
Hiring a reputed manager will also enable you to make a good professional exposure for your brand, here and beyond.
If you like you can certainly ping me for forum exclusive contests around your brand.
It is good sign for your platform that highly reputed member @Charles-Tim has revised his negative feedback after your proof. I admire you as well as it shows that you care about this forum's value.

I'll take this quote from the locked topic here:

The legal distinction is simple: if the first determining factor is skill, not chance, it's a prize competition — not a lottery or gambling product. The UK Gambling Commission does not regulate prize competitions.

Our flow:

1. Player pays
2. Skill question first — get it wrong, game over, no scratch card  | questions are bitcoin related
3. Only if you pass the skill gate do you get a scratch card

I'm not a lawyer, but this sounds very much like gambling. I assume the game is EV- even for users who answer all questions correctly, right? If it's not gambling by UK law, it sounds like a loophole. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against that, but it does sound like a loophole nonetheless.

If you say it's not gambling, why do you post it on the Gambling board?
 
I'd be more concerned about this:

Winners complete identity verification (UK photo ID)

- UK residents only

You may want to add this to the topic title.

What's the chance of winning? In gambling terms: what's the house edge?
How do you prove you're not cheating? In gambling terms: is it provably fair?

How to hire? Need to budget it. Why insurance? Do other sites have insurance.

How do you prove you're not cheating? In gambling terms: is it provably fair?

Good question sLoyceV — happy to address all of them.
"Why post on the Gambling board?"
Fair point. It's the closest fit on the forum — there's no "prize competitions" board. Happy to move it if mods think there's a better home for it.

"UK residents only — add to title"
Good suggestion. Will do.

"Is it provably fair?"
Yes. Every game has a cryptographic hash commitment shown before you scratch. After the game, the server seed is revealed and you can verify the hash yourself. Full explanation here: SatScratch.com/provably-fair [/isze]  

"Sounds like a loophole"
It's not a loophole — it's established UK law that's been in use for decades. BOTB (Best of the Best) has operated prize competitions since 1999, is listed on the London Stock Exchange, has paid out over £90M in prizes, and has never held a gambling licence. Omaze UK gives away million-pound houses the same way. Every newspaper phone-in quiz that says "answer this question to enter" uses the same structure. The Gambling Commission themselves distinguish prize competitions from lotteries in their published guidance. It's not a grey area — it's a well-defined legal category.


KYC
Identity verification is only required for large prize claims — not to play. It's a legal requirement for us as a UK company to verify winners above certain thresholds. Nobody needs to show ID to buy a card or play. We limit buying to 1000 GBP over a 24 hours period.

[memehunter]

Why insurance? Do other sites have insurance.

If you are comparing yourself to the reputable casinos who are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars every day for years, I am sorry but you are no match. Recently one platform did the similar thing which IMO boosted their credibility. IMO, this is the right way to go.

I'm not a lawyer, but this sounds very much like gambling.

I would even argue that it is worse than gambling because of extra knowledge based barrier But it is not much of a concern as players are informed beforehand. You can not force stop someone to buy a lesser product. 

[Zwei]

also, what about the odds of winning? that's kind of an important detail you didn't share.

What's the chance of winning? In gambling terms: what's the house edge?

OP, you were asked this twice now, but for some reason you seem to ignore it. why is that?
i think it's very much necessary that you publish the odds of winning, ofc unless your odds are very fucking terrible, which could explain why you do not want to answer that.

"Is it provably fair?"
Yes. Every game has a cryptographic hash commitment shown before you scratch. After the game, the server seed is revealed and you can verify the hash yourself. Full explanation here: SatScratch.com/provably-fair

that's not provably fair tho. you need to give players an option to add a client seed after you generate the server seed, else, what's stopping you from giving them losing server seeds?

[LoyceV]

Agreed. I've left OP neutral feedback:

Not provably fair. See Reference post.
Chance of winning unknown. There are too many wildcards to say anything about whether or not this game is worth playing.

@OP: I see 2 options: you either don't know what provably fair means, or you ignore it on purpose. In both cases you shouldn't be running a gambling site "skill-based game".

Firstly,  We'd appreciate keeping the conversation professional and positive — we're happy to answer tough questions but not through insults.

That said, the questions are fair, so here are the answers.

On odds:

Over 1 in 3 cards wins a prize. Prizes range from 100 sats to 100,000,000 sats (1 BTC).

We don't publish a full breakdown — same as BOTB, Omaze, and other prize competition operators in the UK. Prize competitions aren't required to disclose detailed odds under UK law. Please search and tell us the official odds declared by BOTB.

On client seeds:
Fair technical point. Here's what our system proves and what it doesn't:
What it proves:
- The server commits to a hashed outcome before you scratch
- After the game, the seed is revealed and you can verify the hash matches
- The outcome cannot be changed after the game starts
Why we generate the client seed server-side:
SatScratch operates more like a deck of scratch cards than a slot machine — outcomes are pre-assigned(like a real scratch card that you buy), not generated per-spin. Letting players inject their own seed into a deck-based system doesn't make sense structurally. Traditional casino-style provably fair is designed for per-bet RNG, which is a different model.
The commitment scheme guarantees your specific card wasn't swapped after the fact. That's the integrity it provides.

This is Bitcointalk, not a UK legal office. We care! You must understand there's quite a difference between 1% or 99% of the money flowing back to players.

outcomes are pre-assigned

Got it. Users can't know the odds of winning and can't know if even one of your cards is funded. My neutral feedback is spot-on!

- The outcome cannot be changed after the game starts

Nobody cares that you can't swap the card if you can just sell only bad cards to begin with.

That's the integrity it provides.

You're misleading users by calling it provably fair.

Traditional casino-style provably fair is designed for per-bet RNG, which is a different model.

So you should come up with a system that matches your specific needs. For inspiration: you could create something similar to Bustabit's seeding event, but adjust it to your needs. But now that I write it down, this would create the problem that you could use the winning cards yourself so it's still not perfect.

[SatScratch]

Over 1 in 3 cards wins a prize in the range we provided.

Users can't know the odds of winning and can't know if even one of your cards is funded.

Over 1 in 3 cards wins a prize.  How is that "not one card funded"? 

Nobody cares that you can't swap the card if you can just sell only bad cards to begin with.

We just told you over 1 in 3 cards wins a prize. How are we "only selling bad cards" if a third of them win? Players can see their results, verify their game, and winners receive on-chain payouts.  

You're misleading users by calling it provably fair.

Fair point on terminology. The system does exactly what our verification page says it does.
> Before you even scratch your card, the outcome has already been determined and cryptographically committed. <

You answered your own question.

That doesn't answer the question. If 1 in 3 win 100 sats (0.05 GBP), the answer to my question could be "less than 2%".

registered a UK company with real names on public record, and built a verification system.

None of this matters to the question about percentages and being provably fair.

What has the anonymous casino in your signature done?

I don't know, probably getting new eyeglasses  

> Before you even scratch your card, the outcome has already been determined and cryptographically committed. <

That's not the point in question.

You answered your own question.

Then come up with a proper provably fair system, or just call it a "we show you what we want and you can't verify anything" system. Either way, be honest about it.

what kind of answer is that? is it 1 in 3 as in 33%, what do you mean exactly? saying the odds are "over 1 in 3" can mean anywhere between 33% and 100%.

that only shows that the server seed didn't change, not that it was generated fairly which is the point of having a provably fair system. so you can't say it's provably fair, because it isn't.

Honestly, this service actually caught my attention when I first read what it could offer.

However, it seems it does not even provide support for people gambling from other countries which are not are the United Kingdom. To me that is a very serious mistake.

Most of the people who could get interested in this service may not even be from the UK, but rather from Africa, Asia and Latin America.

I will keep an eye on this and see if they can definitely proove to be provably fair.

I prefer to ignore; if they really know how the online lottery business works, they should have posted the amount they have and signed, as promised, to what the winner would receive if they hit the jackpot, but they added it after the community questioned it.
I think the platform was created for the Bitcointalk forum, just check the whois.

$1 sucker here, cheap way to try and bait people.

You’re talking about having 1 BTC, but you can’t even prove you really have it. And on top of that, you don’t have any license or reputation to run this kind of business.

This is exactly the type of thing people should avoid. Looks like another possible scam waiting to happen.

Thanks for the reply..

Okay, I see it now, and I’ve seen you sign a message as well. But since you’re still new in the forum, how can people really trust you right away.
I also saw that it’s written on the site, so that helps a bit. Still, trust here is built over time, not in just one post.

SatScratch is operated by LUXLOGIK LTD, a registered UK company (Company No. 14433322) based at 30 Churchill Place, London. ICO registered (CSN5443029).

But I want to ask the guys here, is there any way to verify this information.
If it’s verified and legit, then maybe I’ll try playing there. But for now, I’d rather be careful than jump in too fast.
