★★★ MEMs LIST of GAMBLING SITES ★★★

[mem]

can we get this site added to the index?
https://www.luckybitcoincasino.com/index.html

I looked at this site when they first launched.  They don't offer any provably fair games, and their roulette has a bug that should make it +EV for the player.

If you bet on the column 3...36 that pays 2-1, it pays out on zero too:



I reported this bug to them back in November 2012 but it's still not fixed.

They were offering free chips at the time, so I tried betting that 3...36 line over and over.  Despite it apparently being around 3% in the player's favour, and despite using Kelly betting to manage my bankroll properly, I lost around 8 buyins betting just on that line.

That doesn't prove anything, but all this together makes me suspicious.

Added and noted.

At this point in bitcoin gambling there is no excuse to not be provably fair imho.

PENDING

Being listed under pending simply means some questions have been raised and are waiting on answers.
As this is a newbie friendly guide only fully endorsed sites make the main list.
Pending in no way indicates the site is a scam, it can mean many things such as the site is still in beta or simply requires testing.
When time permits I try to give a site a thorough testing by playing all the games, cashing in and out twice, first with a profit and secondly profit/loss.

SCAM / UNATTENDED

SCAM	Just like a broken vending machine these sites take your money and dont give you anything back / do not deliver as advertised.
UNATTENDED	The site appears to be no longer maintained. The site may work and may occasionally just eat your money, all efforts to contact the admin have failed (play at your own risk).
MISLEADING	The site has misleading descriptions (ie payouts) to the players disadvantage. For example a site that advertises a 2x payout multiplier with 50% odds, where in fact the odds and or multiplier are actually lower.

Site	Key	Status	Comments
BitLotto		NO_PAYOUTS	Admin is forum member., trying to follow this up now. Thank you for the notice Stephen.    .
satoshcircle		UNPROVEN	I have requested  the admin explain how users can trust the site provided seed generator and have been met with only insults. I have tried many different ways to approach this topic and the admin bluntly refuses to back up his claims of provably fair - be warned Admin has gotten in contact with me, seems we got off to a bad start, expect full review to be completed shortly.
btcchess		DOWN	Admin is forum member.    Site uses modified chess rules to prevent cheating.    Site currently down.    .
BitcoinSlot		UNATTENDED	Site is offline, users not paid    .
BitJack21		UNATTENDED	Ongoing Payout issues, non responsive admin.    I was notified by several users regarding payout issues.    I have attempted to contact Andrew but no response yet.    .
http://satoshidice.net		SCAM	A domain squatter with a html clone clone of satoshidice.com    This site does not pay out at all.    It just hopes to collect deposits from gamers who put in the wrong url.    Admin Unresponsive.    .
http://betcoin.eu		UNATTENDED	Appears to determine if next number is a winner than has a bot place.      I have personally seen a "player" wake up after 16 hours of inactivity to place a single bet of 0.1.    My bet of 9 btc would of been next, the "player" then goes offline for another 12 hours.    Bet deposited, confirmed but not placed, no refund.    Admin Unresponsive.    .
http://bitcointoss.com/		SCAM, UNATTENDED	Numerous non payouts.    .
http://btcflip.com/		SCAM	Mostly does not payout.    .
http://btcriches.com/		SCAM	Does not payout    .
http://bitcoindouble.com/		SCAM	Does not payout.    .

- Newbie Tips -

• Paying transaction fees will speed up your deposits and help the network.
• Create address for each site for receiving winnings to help track payouts and earnings.
• Label deposits using the sites name, this helps find lost deposits in the event of a site error (with the help of the sites admin).
• If your balance is to low to cash out (on sites that have a minimum), deposit enough btc to the site to cash out.

INFORMATION

To make this list you need:

• No issues of non payment
• Reliable cash out processing
• Helpful admins (when contact is needed)
• Fair games (ideally md5 or sha1 hashes to prove the results are not based on the clients bet amount)
• No outstanding disputes regarding fairness
• No Pyramid Schemes or Ponzi Schemes sorry

Alternate lists:
I do not cover ponzi's or pyramids (ever) and I also do not cover alt currencies (yet), check out some of the other maintained lists for gambling.

SD doesn't really have cash-in or cash-out, since it doesn't have accounts.  It has a min and a max bet.  I'll update the spreadsheet so it should be fixed next time mem posts here.

Thanks Dooglus, for sites like these (instant blockchain betting) I like to set their min bet as the min cash in/out.

Ah.  Just after editing the cash-in/out fields last night the power went out here, so I didn't know if my edits were saved or not.  I checked again this morning and they were back at min/bet bet, so I thought they hadn't been saved, and made the changes again.  Doesn't it make sense to differentiate between games where you can have an account and games where you can't?

Just added http://bitbattle.me/

I sorted the spreadsheet into alphabetical order, so it's easier to find the games.

yes It does make sense.

There seems to be 3 types of games:
* blockchain only - SDice
* Account System (ie seals)
* Address/Hash based Account System, SatoshiCircle, BitcoinGamer, BitcoinDarts.

Maybe I can use the blockchain.info icon to indicate its a blockchain game, still thinking about it

Thanks for tidying up the spreadsheet (headers, A-Z etc), helps me as well.

Hi,

My game has been indirectly endorsed by a trusted community member as provably fair. Also, I am the only private individual (that is not a corporation or some other entity) that offers an afterlife payment guarantee. This means, the winner gets paid even if I get hit by a bus or a train or otherwise am incapacitated or dead.

But I don't have a website yet.

Does the thread change every time for each new draw ? Its going to be a pain for me to keep changing your URL

Is there really any extra risk when a game doesn't have a website?

SatoshiDice could easily operate without a website.  All they need is the blockchain and somewhere to publish their addresses.  A forum thread could work for that.  I don't think a web presence really reduces risk at all.  Pirate had a website.  So did BitcoinMax.

If the operator decides to run off with people's bets, having a website isn't going to stop him.

It's an interesting point and I guess you could say it simply reduces exposure, nothing more, nothing less.

Where's the fine print?  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202063 doesn't mention anything about 20% being held back.  In fact it explicitly says this, which implies no more than 5% is held back:
