PHenry's problem was solved shortly after, but I can see there's still some confusion, so let me clarify. We use geo-blocks to prevent users in forbidden areas from using the website (e.g. Costa Rica), but we don't use IP bans anymore. We tried them last year, but they're unreliable, they can affect other players' access, and are easy to get around. If your IP gets banned, it's because of a security measure. The server blocks IPs that send too many requests in a short time. This protects the server, but it can also happen to players who refresh the website too often, though it's rare.

I've reached an agreement with Leo Medina to sell bustabit and bustadice. While most of you know him as the operator of MoneyPot, he's worked with me as part of our developer team behind the scenes for several years.

Here's what's happening:
Next Monday (February 26) at 15:00 UTC bustadice will go offline during its regular maintenance window and Leo will step in to take over. Because of the complicated nature of the transfer we expect the downtime to last longer than usual, up to a few hours. We will keep this thread updated with our progress.

What happens to bankroll investments?
I have reached out to all bankroll investors via email and asked those that do not want to remain invested in the bankroll to divest. Investors that I haven't been able to get in touch with by next week will be divested prior to the handover. It goes without saying that all users including investors are free to withdraw all their money at any time.
