Re: FreeBitco.in - Contest with $30,000 in GUARANTEED PRIZES now live!
I think Wetsuit's bot detection has become too effective, because there has been a massive decrease in the Lotto participation, compared to a few weeks ago. 
In any way, I would much rather play for smaller prizes than having to compete with bots that are gaming the system. Just thought I would take a guess at why the Lotto participation was dropping lately.

Yeah, you're right, that is the reason. I've been working full time for the site for over a month now and get to spend a few hours a day swatting bots. A lot of tools we've put in help but just manually checking the accounts they flag usually leads me to thousands more.
Yip, just strange that the bots can have a upside too, because the higher the Lotto jackpot is, the more money will flow into it from people who are seeing the massive carrot.
We are 1 day and 8 hours from the draw and the Jackpot is only at 0.28 BTC, where it was at 2.6 BTC a few weeks ago. Oh, well.. The advantages of not having bots might outweigh the disadvantage of not having that big carrot.
