It's worth noting that the total number of lottery tickets in the weekly lotteries has become noticeably lower in recent weeks than it was 5-6 months ago. This indicates that the activity on the freebitcoin site has dropped,
You are right about the decrease in total number of tickets and the less interest in freebitco, but you should consider the increase in bitcoin price too.
The higher the bitcoin price, the higher the cost to get lottery tickets through wagering.
The decrease of lottery tickets in the Freebitco as the result of the on going issue of withdrawal and other us im the website and that is a good indicator foe them to rebounce back buy solving all the outstanding issue in the site. People are not interested to participate in the site because after winning you might not withdraw the winnings so instead they use another sites. If the price of Bitcoin is high, they can use another sites to book tickets and wagering there that they will not have problem in withdrawing.
Well, this is not to sound pessimistic but I honestly do not think that the management of freebitco are going to do anything at all to solve their current issues simply because there is a decrease in the number of users participating in the lottery, specially if like I've been saying before now, they have lost interest in the site and just want it to die a slow death..
As users are leaving one after the other, thats exactly their goal and ones there is a very minimal number of users on the site, or no user at all, they likely will quietly close the site.
But again, this is just me speculating, trying to see things from another perspective, i do not intently wish freebitco or her users bad (which I am also a user by the way), above all, I wish that the site will bounce back to life again, restart their signature campaign again and we forget about all this issues, but then, it's in the hands of the management to really make this happen.
