OK, understood about the reduction of award for the lowest prize. Hopefully it will be temporary.
I also have two other questions:
1) The 30,000 satoshi minimum to withdraw has been in place for a long time. That was the minimum when the value of the bitcoin was only in the hundreds of dollars. When I started on your site, it was in the $700s and the minimum prize was 275 satoshi, so with a little more than 100 rolls you could reach the minimum.
Now that the value of BTC is more than 10 times that, wouldn't it make sense to reduce the minimum to, say, 5000 satoshi to make it more reachable? (Of course this would have to happen after the problem of the hacking and bots is resolved).
2) Now that the recent bubble is over and transaction costs are much lower, are there any plans to remove the 3000 satoshi fee for the automatic deposit, which is now even higher than the fee for instant deposit?

1) I wouldn't expect much to be changing in the near future. The site is going to be rebranded and a number of altcoins added and an exchange function to be added. I would expect things like minimum withdrawal levels to be addressed at that time.
2) If you mean withdrawal rather than deposit then I think that is to try and move everyone away from using the weekly withdrawal. As you say fees are low and you can get a slow withdrawal for 40 sats, so why the need for a weekly withdrawal? Long-term we don't know how long fees will stay low and using dynamic fees on the slow and instant withdrawals is the best way forward. Constantly changing the weekly withdrawal isn't practical and people would not be happy if it was a dynamic fee and they didn't realise when the fees suddenly went high. With slow and instant you have to accept the fee when requesting the withdrawal whereas weekly is automated.
Also after other coins are added you'll have the option to exchange and withdraw coins with lower Tx fees if you want.
