Just wow.
You guys are seriously complaining that you can't withdraw .005 btc that is handed away for free for site testing? You selfish little infants.
Missed the point entirely. The complaint is about running promotions without mentioning the requirements, which have been noted long ago. This site keeps repeating the same mistake, I can only guess it is intentionally. You should also read some of the earlier replies here to notice that this causes another issue: the person not being able to legitimate withdraw his funds due to use of this fake promotion.
ice-dice is just luring naïve people, nothing more (let's hope that) nothing less.
And if by luring naive people, I guess you're including yourself? How naive do you have to be to not know that a giveaway is supposed to lure people into visiting and testing the site?
Edit: the only reason I've used Satoshi Circle is because they had a giveaway. It worked.
I'm not included in that because I never subscribed to any ice-dice promotion, you are free to ahead and try to look for it. I'm just doing this because I'm tired of seeing this same crap over and over.
Are you really comparing the Satoshi Circle giveaway to this one ? Satoshi Circle is completely honest and actually did have a giveaway.
There is nothing being given here.
This is stupid. 0.005 btc is being given to an account that you create. Hence, it's a giveaway. Just be because you can't withdraw until you bet 1.5 btc doesn't make it not a giveaway. If you deposited and bet 1.5 of your own btc, you can then withdraw the .005.
I don't think you'd be upset if they gave you 1.49 btc but you couldn't withdraw it unless you bet 1.5 btc. You would deposit .01 btc, make a bet, then withdraw everything.
These guys are really upset because before when the limit used to be lower, they would buy(maybe they already had) robot of twitter accounts and redeem this offer over and over again, then about 1 in 10 accounts they would be able to reach the limit and cash out about 0.1BTC. We paid out about 1.4BTC to these fake account holders before realizing its the same 2 people scamming us for money. Now the we increased the limit to 1.5BTC wager so it's harder for them to scam us money so they are now complaining and talking crap about us.
That is not my case, I already pointed out why I'm upset with your service. I never used it too, I'm just making it clear how idiotic is this thing you are doing.
From an outside perspective, not knowing anything else about the site, it's not idiotic. Satoshi Circle did it and I visited their site. Now Ice-Dice did it. Would you have rather they just didn't give away .005 at all? Even with the 1.5 BTC limit still imposed, would that make you satisfied?
When you operate a business that offers a service, you need people using that service! What good would it do for the business to just give out free money to people who will never use its service? The idea is to allow you to test the site. That's it. You're not supposed to make a killing off a giveaway like this. This isn't a faucet; we have those already, and it's a terrible business model. This giveaway let's you play for free to test the site, after which you are supposed to say, "Wow! That was Fun!" And then you deposit your own money to have more fun.
