Is it an official way to increase you halved free btc there? By buying lottery tickets? Never heard about it before, but I do not think buying tickets will increase your halved free btc.

It is fairly new but yes halved rewards are only for accounts that don't meet certain minimum requirements of wagering, playing jackpots, buying lottos tickets and/or keeping a certain balance.

See below:

The reduced free play base rewards is still a work in progress. We have been forced to put in additional protections to maintain our sustainability since there is an ongoing attack of a huge number of bots abusing the free play (most likely using a botnet). All our previous protections have failed against this and any new protections are adapted to within a couple of days. So we have been forced to reduce the free play rewards using an algorithm, specifics of which I cannot reveal as that would compromise it.

I've got a few more details about the reduced awards algorithm I can share with you.

The algorithm for reducing rewards takes a combination of the balance, wager, lottery and jackpot spending to calculate the reward. Jackpot spending has a higher weight (4x) and the lottery has the highest weight (20x).

If you do not want to gamble you can keep a balance above $50 to not have reduced rewards.

Most users will not need to keep the full balance though because their gambling history is also added up to calculate.

New accounts have full rewards for the first 100 rolls to help them build up a history and then the algorithm is applied to them. So opening a new account might seem like it helps but it won't.

Additionally, the balance needed to have no captcha is $100.

If it works like that, then how is the calculation? buy 900 tickets and get 6 additional satoshi on the free btc?
keep buying lottery tickets or playing multiple btc, but I doubt his free btc is at 17s... strange amount

I gave all the information wetsuit gave me above but I believe that getting 17 rather than 22 means that they are most of the way there. It looks to be increased proportionally rather than just a switch when you get back to full reward.

it definitely will increase your free btc but it won't adjust your reward back to full base reward
currently base free btc is 22 and your halved free btc is 11
so if you've done enough to increase it, you will be getting 22 satoshi (11+11)
unless the bonus is added full amount then it will be 33 satoshi (11+22)

read the last line in the orange notification box, it tells you exactly how to increase your free btc
it also shows your progress to the next bonus level and bonus amount you will be getting next
what is the amount you see there? mine is showing +22s (per level)
what is your total bonus reward? my bonus is at +44s now (the first line)

Bonus +0.00000044BTC added to all rewards!
Play MULTIPLY BTC or buy lottery tickets to increase your FREE BTC rewards by up to +0.00000418 BTC
94.6209% achieved towards the next +0.00000022 BTC bonus!

I'm also guessing that it is roughly based on the same algorithm as the bonus BTC but with the addition of taking your balance into account.

Hello. I bought 1000 lottery tickets to increase my halved free BTC bonus but nothing happened Huh

. I asked my friend and he bought 900 tickets and his free BTC bonus increased to 17 satoshis right away. Mine remained 11 satoshis... What should I do?

Unless you and your friend have exactly the same free-roll, gambling and deposit history the algorithm will give different outputs.

Actually I don't think so because some players do win in the "Multiply your bitcoins" and in the Lottery sections. You can check the STATS section to see how many Bitcoins were won by users and you'll see that the amount is impressive.

Speaking about the Multiply section, the site has 5% house edge and that's what they keep to themselves, not most of the Satoshis received from the FREE Rolls. Same goes for any provably fair dice gambling site, they don't care about winning or losing of a particular player, they just earn from the house edge.

The amount gambled is indeed quite impressive compared to other dice sites. Wink

You can also see the withdrawals on the stats page and they add up to a large amount as well.

The 5% house edge isn't what we keep to ourselves it is the gross income. That has to pay for the faucet and all the lottery tickets and reward points we give away. Then all the hosting costs etc. and what is left over is the profit.

Yes, you got it right while I was typing up this.
