Re: ReelDice.com - The Bitcoin Dice Industry meets change

Pros:
Website is fine
A new concept of 6 digit results instead of traditional 4 digits
Chat support

Cons:
Website lags a bit
Look didn't impress me at all
Site is neither smartphone-friendly nor good when used in Desktop site mode

With just 1 person available over chat and just 26 users (stuck to that number) online, I don't understand how they managed to get more than 17 BTC wagered and are able to spread a prize of 4788.12 (at the time of writing).

Hey thanks man,

"For anyone wondering, we have exactly 23 robots playing the site right now. So no, we're not making any attempts to fool anyone, we are basically looking to load test the site and hopefully not have the site look like it's fully empty. I'm not sure if this is standard policy to announce the existence of robots, but we don't feel this is an issue."

This was on the original post. We have 23 robots running and as soon as the site is going to be moved out of beta, we will reset all statistics to zero. Also, still being in BETA, the site is not fully staffed. We are working on everything you guys have so generously pointed out to us, and one of those things is the mobile-phone friendliness. As far as looks are concerned, we are concentrating on performance issues now but there will be graphical changes coming too as well. Thank you for your opinion, this is good stuff for us.

You are still in beta testing stage, but why do you accept deposit already as well as offer deposit bonus? I do believe, people wont make deposit in any sites which is still in beta testing as there might be some glitch or bugs that may not be good for players. Regarding your robots, I have no idea is there is a standard policy about it but it is better if you make a notification message about it on your site to tell users about this testing robots and says that the stats on your site is not real stats.

We totally missed the deposit thing, it has now been disabled. Thanks for that. Also, we've placed a popup warning advising new arrivals of the existence of bots and how they manage to fudge the statistics. There are no intentions to ever use bots in the production site. We're basically running them now for testing.

Good thing that panjul07 do clarified this thing or else users who arent aware of beta phase would deposit funds without knowing that the gambling
site is still prone to bugs and glitches.

Did you intentionally open up the deposit or just completely forgot it? It would really be just a standard thing not to accept any funds on beta phase.

The deposit is open in our development servers, of course for testing. The production server loads the production settings. We have to manually turn off deposits in the production site. Every time we update the specific area that contains the deposit, even on a small update, we have to remember to make sure it is turned off. Nobody thought to turn it off. The person who should have thought of it has received the standard 25 lashes. She's sorry. But we're still keeping an eye on her. We did make some changes to the settings structure and it should not happen again. No deposits were attempted or received. So we did not have to refund any BTC.
