Well, the recent winner seems to have a lot of luck. I was constantly checking his bets and stats looking for anything unusual that would indicate it was not a fair game, but I found nothing so far. We looking at anything suspicious in our code and in server logs just to make sure nobody has access to server seeds, but we found no leak.
However, this clearly shows us that with max bet profit at 1% of site bankroll the volatility can be huge - probably too big for some investors to accept. Therefore, in order protect investors' interests and decrease variance a bit
we have decreased max bet profit from 1% to 0.5% of the bankroll
(for all coins)
We believe the new rates are still OK for most of the players (especially since the crypto/fiat has grown quite a bit recently), while providing more steady income for investors.
What happened to LTC bankroll was at least unfortunate (for us - investors), and it's still hard for me accept it. Statistics however is cruel - when playing close to max site profit, things like that can happen. And they did. Unfortunately for investors, fortunately for players.
While as an investor I hope to never see anything like this again, there's also something for players as we all witnessed these winnings - winning huge amounts is not impossible, quite the contrary.
Cheers,
Ethan
Appreciate the quick response Ethan - very professional as always! I like that you are monitoring the logs and also cutting the max win to 0.5% should decrease volatility a lot.
