About 15 BTC looked like it was early yesterday and looked like it was lost. So it very well could. He had a warning that stated any deposits before the game will be considered a donation.
You are wrong, all transactions are new
For the week came that started yesterday. There were a bunch of BTC that were sent just before the game started. And I think they were considered week 1. So he might consider these a donation since the site is not up. I am not saying that is how it will be but it might. And that is one hell of a risk.
