Hmm, it looks like we were overly optimistic regarding how many people would use the site. In light of this we are considering closing the site down. If anyone is interested in purchasing the script and taking over please PM me.
Nobody would play a non-provably fair game when there are provably fair games.True. We were working on a mechanism for this but the coding brains behind this site just doesn't have the time to dedicate to it now, so unfortunately rather than say "hey guys just trust us" it is better to stop right here.

The vast majority of Bitcoin users are technically-savvy, therefore you need to provide a transparent algorithm, which will ensure fairness even without trusting to the gambling site.
+1, and this is exactly what I meant to be provably fair. Using the PHP random function is "fair", but not "provably fair", who can assure that you really used the php function to select the winner?
your site is very similar to another bitcoin lottery that's already known in the bitcoin community, so, what exaclty your site have to offer beyond what is already being offered in the other site that will bring players to your site?
regards
We're working on an explanation for you. Perhaps we will adopt a system more similar to the way one of the main established bitcoin lottery does things; we shall see. For now let me just congratulate the owner of this address for recent win:

Reply from our coder:
"It's currently very simple how the pick winner script works. We first create an array of all the tickets that are entered for the draw and then generate a random integer between 0 and the end of the array. The ticket at that random position is chosen as the winner and is sent their funds. Currently we are using the rand() function by PHP, but we will soon be adding a "more" random function. Possibly use random.org or something similar.
As to proving fairness in picking the winner, we'd hope to do that through reputation and transparency on any part of our process. If you have any suggestions we'd be happy to hear them."

Big BTC jackpots - and growing with each draw!
I couldn't find any information on how this will happen. Can you explain a bit more?And how can you prove that your site is provably fair?
We are hoping that the site will catch on and if it does the btc jackpots will get bigger as more and more people come to play the lottery on a regular basis.
I will get you technical details on how the winner is selected. Let me get a hold of our main coder and I'll reply back with details.

Re: How can I track affiliate commissions when a customer pays with BitPay ?
from BitPay
"Checkout Integration
BitPay Hosted Checkout has 1 click on the BitPay website to process the payment, and then the shopper is returned to your website.
On our page, the shopper is presented with the payment instructions. After the payment is received, the page updates to show a receipt, and the shopper is given a link to click back to your website"

is there an option to do an automatic redirect or add the affiliate tracking pixel to the checkout page ?

I doubt they have support for an affiliate system, so you may have to use an separate system to keep track of affiliate earnings. My wish is that in addition to that I'd like to see recurring payment supported - is payment subscriptions a la paypal.
