What I don't like is that the offsite investment is being discontinued and that is because I have a large offsite investment, and yes I "exploited" the system by maximizing my offsite investment back in the day. Not sure if exploiting is the correct word, I paid dilution fee for it after all. I understand that RHavar wants to minimize the amount of funds he is responsible for, personally I was never worried about the game being rigged or whales winning long-term, but third party risk. Obviously I trust RHavar, but there is always a non-zero risk, as we recently saw with the ethercrash "hack" aka exitscam.

I know Ryan already mentioned it, but I feel that I should also point out that he's not involved in bustabit anymore beyond being a bankroll investor like yourself.

Anyway: When I launched bustadice and acquired bustabit shortly after that I was relatively unknown in the crypto gambling space and I assumed that there would be at least some concern that I might try to run with the money. Allowing investors to invest offsite was intended to appease these concerns, at least to an extent. Nowadays, however, I believe the more significant counterparty risk for investors is me stealing from the bankroll by posing as a lucky player and in this regard offsite investing doesn't help.

And how many dilution fee credits do you get? Is that equal to the offsite portion?

You'll receive an amount of dilution fee credits that's equivalent to what your offsite investment was. E.g. if you had a 1 BTC offsite investment you will be able to reinvest 1 BTC onsite without having to pay the dilution fee again. For what it's worth investors have always been able to move their offsite investments onsite and vice versa for free.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but one idea for Daniel: Instead of giving people "dilution fee credits", give them actual bitcoin. Then if they want to invest more, they can use that to cover the expense. Or if they no longer want to, they can withdraw that money. And then say you gave way X bitcoin, configure the site to direct the next X bitcoin of dilution fees to yourself instead of the bankroll.

I don't see any justification for that. After all, I'm not forcing anybody to divest. And other investors (i.e. non-offsite) don't have the opportunity to see their dilution fees returned to them when they decide to divest again. In addition to that, early investors with an offsite investment have likely benefited from the dilution fee more than average, i.e. they received more in dilution fees from other investors than they paid themselves.
