I assume there is three groups : The investors, The players and The operator.
Correct
When a jackpot is won there is a new one which have a minimal value (like 0.5btc for the mega jackpot) in this case where these 0.5btc come from? The players couldnt wager to "build this jackpot" so does it come from the operator pocket?
Yes it comes from the operator pocket, not from the bankroll.
Since the house edge is 1% and 1.5% of the wagered amount is added up to the jackpots.
There is 97.5% of the wagered amount given back to the players (if we doesnt count the jackpot).
The HE is 1.5% or less. We have corrected this phrasing in the FAQ on the website. The structure is: 97% goes to normal wins, 3*0.5% goes to JPs, and the rest goes to JP seeds + fixed prizes. So, the higher the average bet is, the closer is HE to 1.5%.
But with this info i think that the probability of hitting 2x or more is 48.75% and the probability of hitting 1.01x or more is 96.53% can you confirm that?
By the way i think that knowing the probability of hitting a number which would be a nice feature.
x1.01: 0.97/1.01 = 96.04%
x2.00: 0.97/2 = 48.50%
I see on the site that investors won 6.84btc since the openning of the site.
I am curious about how much was won/lost by the players and how much was won/lost by the operator. Would it be possible to know that?
The investors bankroll was increased with this amount. A good chunk of it was wagers that used jackpot wins and in this sense it was lost by the operator. The operator then got commission from this increased bankroll.
Is the webiste sustainable for the operator even if the bets per round are low?
No, the reseeding of the jackpots make the operators run at a loss as long as bets are very small.
