Betcoin Dice claims that they have the lowest house edge.
Don’t believe them, though.
Their house edge is 1.88%. It’s low, sure, but Primedice’s is almost half that at 1 percent.
Is it that big a deal?
Probably not in the grand scheme of things. But you shouldn’t be making claims that can’t stand up to a couple minutes worth of research on Google.
(And remember – that’s not the only suspect information I found Googling their business. More on that in a second.)
As for stakes – you can play for free once you add a confirmed wallet. The minimum wager is 0.00000300 and the maximum varies on the number of players betting on the same games. Betcoin.tm suggests that if you can’t bet as much as you want now, to check back in a couple of minutes – there may have been a series of bets that would give you the opportunity to bet more.
During our review process we like to scope out the history of each casino. We want the consensus’ opinion about the platform – are they above board or below it?
Sometimes it’s hard to tell. Like now. There are lots of accusations, but only half can be proven and those are arguably small potatoes in the overall picture.
But I’ll let you come to your own conclusions. The following are summaries of accusations I’ve found strewn through bitcoin forums and Reddit threads.
1) One player claims Betcoin.tm stole 2.4 bitcoins.
The casino did respond to this accusation saying that they were dealing with a DDOS attack (which is common for bitcoin platforms). They came back even later saying that they had no records of anyone depositing that much bitcoin.
2) In September 2013 a player mentioned that Betcoin.tm was creating fake accounts and using scripts to play with their own money to make the platform look busier and more popular than it was.
3) About the same time a SatoshiDice PR account (SatoshiDICE_PR) on the Bitcointalk forums accused them of ripping their terms and conditions, and other copy, verbatim. They went on to accuse them of DDoSing their competitors.
This was all shortly following their initial launch.
And apparently Betcoin is (or was) involved in a copyright infringement case relating to the BetCoin trademark and the use of it in their name. Supposedly this is a registered company in the UK.
