★★★ MEMs LIST of GAMBLING SITES ★★★

[Zaih]

I personally dislike forum run lotteries due to the inherent risk, but Im happy to list it as Pending and monitor it while its run (which I try to do with all lottery sites and event betting sites).

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.

It also inherently shows that the owner has dedicated more time to the project. If a gambling operation has a nice website which has obviously taken a lot of time to set up, they will be less likely to disregard that effort/time by 'running off' with money.

Time to post a thread on here: 20 mins? Sometimes more if you went into deeper detail like Dab did.
Time to make a nicely designed website: Hours

Obviously some websites can take small amounts of time/effort, but it's pretty obvious when it's not that case.

Edge%: Winner Receives up to 100%. Please read the fine print. 20% goes to next game.

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:

About Dabs' Raffle:

[...] 95% of tickets sales go to the winner.

Hi dooglus,

Those were the rules for Number 1. It's now Number 2. Maybe I should stick to one thread in the future. I'm locking the first one. Sorry about the confusion.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=212855 is the new thread.

Yes. I should just stick to one thread and update OP to make readers read the latest version. I'm guessing a few more rule changes will happen in the next couple of games, due to either player requests or "fixes" to make it as provably fair as possible.

No but it does "ever so slightly" increase the effort required to pull a con. A forum post is 2 minutes of effort at the best made at no cost to the operator.
Those that couldnt see Pirate coming despite me and everyone warning them were greedy fools thatw were bound to loose their bitcoin to one con artist or another.

Thanks, very nice analogy as well

Yeh design definitely isn't everything. Content is important as well - Something Satoshi Roulette covers very well!

Awww Shucks Its little compliments like this (and the profits) that make it all worth while for codemonkey and I

mem I see you have already set our new house edge for rdice and jdice
We reduced the house edge so that jackpots would build quicker, seems ot be working great.

Love the new list, It could be a bit neater but glad to see it active again.

Dabs Lotto Number 1 was indeed 95% https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202063
Dabs Lotto Number 2 is up to 100% https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=212855

The URL and Thread information in the above specifically states topic 212855 which is Number 2. You can check the quote of my post by mem.

In fact, due to only having 1 player in Number 1, I gave out 100%, effectively refunding him in full for being a good sport.

I am hoping more people play this second round.

Hi Dabs

I might enter my casino in round #2 for fun. Headed over to your thread now.

Probably better to use a single thread.  People subscribe to threads and get notified of new posts.  I'd want to be able to subscribe to the 'Dabs lotto' thread, and not have to keep searching for new ones to subscribe to.

Okie dokie. My bad. Will continue using #2 and just update OP to 3 next week. #1 can just fade away since I've locked it already and pointed it to #2.

I think you got legend mixed up slightly on that one, mem. PrimeDice isn't PvP and is provably fair, so I think it was meant to be the face lol

Also I can confirm that BitBattle.me is provably fair & legit. They're currently pending, but sometimes you ask for extra sources, so thought I'd point out that they're definitely worthy of the list.

These faces, while quaint and easily accessible, are confusing considering that not everyone expresses the same emotion towards certain aspects. (How would I know that a kissy face means anything other than the admin is a prostitute?)

I suggest having icons and using the site logos if possible to make reading the list a bit less...involved.

mem, I noticed you have listed us only as a roulette game. We actually have more than 50 games.

[CasinoBit]

Wouldn't it be fair to list the website in the order they were created? There are new n00bs writing up dice scripts every day now and it would guarantee a safe gambling environment.

CasinoBit would be more or less only above 5 or 6 different sites out of a lot of them.

Not sure how you can talk But still, a good idea.

Well actually we would be at the very top, even above such veterans as S.Dice, Seals with Clubs, bitzino, most likely the very first (citation needed). Of course I can also settle for 5 or 6 above the bottom since this would be only counting the time since we've remodeled and reopened, I'm not too greedy.
