For redistribution of the confiscated : a higher pot is ok. But more clever is having more winners. It is a bit more motivating, because it raises chance to win something.
Although me and my friends on freebitco do not gamble, we have an agreement that if we win a freeroll higher than base, we buy lottery tickets for half of the surplus approx. Just not in the hope to win something, but just give something back to freebitco. I talked about our non gambling attitude many times with Myfe (your predecessor Quin?) and Wetsuit. Point that I have the impression that the higher ones gambling thrift is, the higher the cheating thrift seems to be... .

On another issue : the solve media captcha on freedoge is becoming so difficult or not loading that is discouraging to roll.
