No, this is just regular trading done by share owners.
We don't sell our own shares because then we would no longer make any profit

Status update:
In the last 3 months a few hundred Bitcoin have been invested. After the latest rounds of large investments finally a huge amount of much needed liquidity was added to the stock trading by those investors and thus cooling down the slightly overheated share trade price. This makes shares again more attractive for small investors.

As a direct result of those investments all bet limits have been doubled compared to 3 months ago.

In other news, Darkcoin trading was recently added as to our coin exchange.

We are glad that you like our trading platform

Well, we honor the exact trade price and compute everything exactly down to each satoshi, and since one cannot split a single satoshi it often happens that the trade produces some tiny remainder. We don't like it either, but we are not gonna steal that single satoshi...

Status update:
Our bankroll shares program works almost perfectly.
There addition of new shares is slow enough to be sustainable. The 8% (@100 shares) fee seems to do the job as expected.
The only tiny issue is the share price - it is very high, currently at 170%. While that is a bonus for the larger investor, it makes it difficult for small investors to buy shares.
Anyway, the whole shares program is already a huge success and we are looking forward to the future development of it.

Yes it is annual.

There are actually 3 reasons why we have added this.
1) users use bad password, prefer an URL based account and so on. It is always bad when such an account is hacked, both for the user and for the site. We cannot force users to use 2FA but we can give them a reason to do this.
Note: a lot of our users use those URL based accounts, while most probably have a few browser extensions that can access those URLs. This is a time bomb ticking that can be countered by 2FA.
2) We had customers complaining that they get some interest at mcxnow. Well, we did the math and figured that it will not really cost that much.
3) There are certain gambling behaviors that could potentially generate more profit for the site as a result of this. We hope that because of this the net result of paying interest could become a profit for the site - time will tell.

Well, since only a small portion of those 4% is paid every 4 hours, you wont reach the whole 4% if you withdraw after a short time.

Of course the daily revenue is anything but consistent, and quite often negative. But what is used for the dividend calculation is the sliding profit. And while sum(sliding profit)==sum(daily revenue) the single values are of course quite different.

The rationale behind this is to have a more consistent and hence more realistic dividend. There are numerous other casinos out there where investors can gamble on the daily revenue, we are not one of those. You can call us conservative but we prefer that PBBS pays a dividend as stable as possible.

In some sense this is similar to the very safe factors for the bet limits. We are operating with investors money and have thus chosen a very conservative and risk-averse approach. I know that sounds weird coming from a casino operator.

Your observation is correct. There are actually more buyers then sellers. For an investor this situation could be a good opportunity to seize since it is possible to create new shares well below the market value.

In fact we are one of the oldest provably fair casinos.

We are proud to announce that on yesterdays daily dividend payment we reached slightly over 4 mBTC per share.
Full history data here: https://playt.in/#dividends#pbbs

We are actively avoiding this case by having a minimum bet of 1 mBTC and accepting 0 confirmation. Still we had a lot of cases where customers have no clue that 0.0001 BTC is actually 0.1 mBTC and not 1 mBTC.

Now that we wrote this all, I sort of regret spilling the beans. Hopefully no one ever reads it...

Every 2 or 3 days? I lol'd. At that rate it would have been necessary for us to announce about 200 things since we have started PLAYTIN. We are not one of those countless ponzi sites that can announce a restart every 2 days.

To be honest, I think that exactly this assumption that a service/member that does post a lot is trustworthy makes this forum a paradise for scammers. Sadly this assumption is even encouraged here by leveling up the accounts based on the number of posts.

Back to topic, since the huge majority of our customers does not come from this very forum we guess almost no one posts about it in here.
About a year ago we figured that the most vocal players are those that after playing thousands of free games maybe bet a single hopping 1 mBTC (min bet), while the others usually bet very very significantly higher and plays at least thousands of rounds. Just run the actual numbers for the average bet amount and was amazed.

So yes, we still think that the average forum poster is either "poor" or does not gamble/invest at all, so why again do you think we should we try to get those?

Anyway, we have significantly increased our presence in this forum in the last few weeks, we will see if it makes any difference at all.

Just asking, you trust a service more that does a daily bump in here than one that is in business since ages?
It seems one never stops learning...

Very true.

We think trust comes with time. There are a lot of people that are using our services since more than a year and these already know that we are trustworthy.

Well, to be honest, this forum is not the best way to advertise our site. First, there are a lot of dubious offers on this forum, especially in this very section. Second, most forums users apparently even lack the financial power to gamble on our site. Our minimum bet is 1mBTC, while the average forum users seems to prefer to gamble with dust (less than a few hundred satoshis).

I guess the really wealthy forum members prefer to risk their coins on a guaranteed loss by buying overpriced mining gear and some unprofitable mining contracts.
Therefor since over a year ago we use mostly other ways to advertise our site. And as you can see on our site this works quite well

And we will add a few new cool features to our site in the very near future, so stay tuned

A shareholder requested that for whatever reason. So we added it. The * means that it has a footnote. Scroll down to the bottom to see it. In the next update we will try to make this somehow more obvious.

Thanks to all participants

Don't be too harsh on MPOE-PR, some of the things she wrote in here actually make sense.
Just look around in the Bitcoin world, there are whole exchanges running on VPS, another famous failed one tried to replace half the OS with PHP, some sites promise insane interest without having any real income, most mining investments have a negative ROI or are simply a scam, etc, etc. There are tons of scams all over the place. So it makes sense to be very cautious.
That being said, one of the mistakes that she makes is concentrate to much on the legal and business side, and almost completely ignoring the technical side. For at least half the failed ventures the reason for failing was plain incompetence on the technical side.
So even when she actually don't like our own site, some parts of her postings still make sense. And she can look cute too, if those pictures were actually real...
