Where does PrimeDice draw the line on advertising the theoretically possible, but close to impossible, 112 BTC Jackpot?
1) Would PriceDice feel its ethical for a site to advertise a 11,200 btc jackpot, with similar rules:
Roll 77.77 twice in a row to win! The percentage of the jackpot won depends on how much you bet.
Over 1 BTC: 100%
Over 0.1 BTC 10%
Over 0.01 BTC 1%
Over 0.001 BTC 0.1%
Over 0.0001 BTC 0.01%
Yes its theoretically possible to win, but requires betting 1 BTC one hundred million times to have a good chance of winning it, and in the process you will lose around 1 million BTC to the house edge.
2)This is very borderline false advertising, using such a high amount jackpot in a title of your post without details
Example of a similar unethical title for comparison: Free 112 BTC deposit bonus
Fine Print Rules: Earn up to a matching 112 btc bonus, must wager 10000 times deposit to earn the bonus
3) Basically you are unethical luring players via a jackpot that will no one will ever win.
Honestly, I do agree that this is not the best form of advertising, but this is a common manner of advertising in the gambling world and it is nothing new. The matched bonuses always have wagering requirements attached to them.
If not, everyone would basically deposit and take the free money and leave leaving the casinos in losses. Also, no one is forcing anyone to take part in such high stakes jackpots. Invest only what you are willing to lose.
