only few hours left still not minimum of 30 participants apply for this contest. Angry

We are 1 short

Theres still 3 hours or so left for users to register for the contest. We wont cancel it if we are 1 user short of 30. The cancellation wouldve happened if we were 10+ short.

I see all the newbies applying and I think we shouldve added a rule for btctalk acct must be a certain rank to join. The problem with that is some of our players were brought to us via twitter and other advertising methods. So theyre legit new accounts. thenitro and CHelat are 2 of the bigger players on our site. Id have to look into the others, but i guess my point is we wanted the contest open to anyone. Didnt expect the contest to be taken advantage of. We will try to consider this on future promotions.

I think it is only fair to exclude newbies you are not able to verify. You can accept entries via other media, or use them to confirm newbie entries here.

If newbs win all the prizes, it will not appear fair to honest participants. A little more so if the drawings aren't provably fair.

The competition is decided by our own roulette wheel. Its totally random. Going by your logic its impossible for a newbie to be a legit account?

There's have two ways:
1. People Trying to cheating of the contest.
2. They're Real.
As spelled out ndnh when the winner is newbie it's like to unfair (1players). We also must not prejudice, Contest's running only on forums bitcointalk then allowing for new players who sign up here to join contest. I really have not more idea, I'm just trust contest running as fair.
Goodluck everybody Wink

I guess i can see what you mean. We have held many promos and paid them all. Not all were newbie winners. We arejust trying to allow as many ppl a chance to enter as possible. Any way we go about it, ppl would still be able to cheat. As i hear many have bought accounts here.

How would you suggest we combat this?

Regularly perform IP checks on all of the accounts that enter a promotion. If you find a multi-accounter, freeze their accounts, confiscate their winnings from promos and ban them forever.

Newbies can be both legit or cheating as Zoel said. I am not against clean newbies entering a competition, but the thing is that newbie accounts are so easily made by anyone. That is why you should keep an extra eye on newbies if you decide to let them participate.

Regarding on verification we should not doubt on the management of bitdouble because they are making the best possible solution in any circumstances and talking about newbie account its not actually a bad thing but multi-accounts arent allowed, management could easily identify whose making multi-accounts and do cheat on the promo.

It is better just to exclude newbies. TBH, I (or anyone) can create some newbie accounts, I don't think you will be able to find or flag them.

How are you conducing the draws?
I assume you decide which roll decides the result. In any case, won't you know the rolls for the day by the first block of the day?

It is possible.

Your promo. You decide the rules.

We will announce the 5 twitter winners later tonight and release the final bracket. Then tuesday 2/21 will be round 1 drawing. Ill announce exact starting time and we will be recording the contest as well and publishing on youtube.
