Dicenow Review John Delono October 30, 2013 Dice11 Comments Dicenow is not your average dice game. The casino offers Bitcoin, and Litecoin gambling, with a colorful, Metro-style interface. With the constant competition from other casinos, does Dicenow have what it takes to secure its own place in the Bitcoin gambling world? Apparently so. Dicenow actually has a lot of features, most of which are quite enticing for the average Bitcoin gambler, such as the “auto”, and “robot” betting modes. Players can change the settings to tell the bot how it should run to their own specifications. The bot also allows players to select from a variety of popular betting progressions, such as the Martingale, or Paroli. Custom progressions can also be defined. The auto feature allows players to perform “over 9000 rolls per click”, according to the site’s homepage. The robot feature is slightly different, and it performs 1 roll every second. It is more similar to the automatic betting feature on sites like PrimeDice.The betting history screenAnother interesting feature is that players are allowed to choose their house edge (1%, 2%, or 3%) when making bets. There are different investment bankrolls for each house edge, so the max bet may be smaller on a low house edge. The betting interface allows users to switch between Bitcoin, Litecoin and Freecoin (play money) betting quickly. The site tells the player how many rolls the bot made, their bankroll and their profit. A chart underneath the betting interface always displays how much profit the player has made that session, for each type of coin. The site is provably fair, and it contains a page which explains the provably fair concept and how to verify it. There is also has a box at the bottom of the betting interface which allows gamblers to randomize the seeds. Like some of its competitors, Dicenow allows users to also invest by investing in the site’s bankroll, but with unique options. For instance, Dicenow allows investors to choose two investing methods – “Simple invest”, or “Custom invest”. For simple investments, the site splits the gambler’s investment between their 1%, 2% and 3% house edges, and allows the gambler to choose what risk they will take: one quarter, one half or one full Kelly criterion. Or, for the more daring investors, they can choose the “Custom invest” option, and decide whether they want to invest in the 1%, 2% or 3% house edges, and set their risk to anything between a quarter of a Kelly criterion or 10 Kelly criterions.The investment screen at Dicenow provides detailed statistics, and investment history. Dicenow has a built-in IRC chat room which allows gamblers to converse as they bet, which is always great to see. The administrator, pitboss, was able to answer our questions about the site quickly. Dicenow has not held any promotions yet, at the time of writing, which may be due to its young age as well as the fact that the bankroll is investor-funded. We found that Dicenow’s software is laggy, and the interface is difficult to use. While Dicenow is a small site at the moment, Dicenow seems set to become more popular. It could eventually become a popular Bitcoin dice gambling site, if the website’s software is improved. Click here to play on Dicenow now! Dicenow ReviewDicenow boasts many interesting features, which cannot be found in most other Bitcoin dice games. The site should work on improving their software so it runs more smoothly, and attracting more players.

Reply again October 30, 2013 The blatant copy of ggdice 10k rolls in a click is a shame, specially because dicenow cannot even handle it without crashing every browser. You also cannot scroll properly when results are showing, goes to show how bad the code is. Anyone offering/taking anything above 1 full kelly is idiot (if you don’t know why you are idiot, then you need to lookup how this criteria behaves), offering the varied edge adds nothing except even more confusion to this very unusable site (design-wise and speed-wise). Reply Bitcoin Reviewer October 30, 2013 The software is rather glitchy at the moment. We gave dicenow 3 stars for Software, because it has some very interesting features that you don’t usually find in dice sites. Reply again October 30, 2013 By features do you mean lots of colors ? Bitcoin Reviewer October 30, 2013 Software features, not design features. The list could include: thousands of rolls in one click, a built-in betting bot that has lots of settings, picking house edge, auto betting, picking Kelly criteria…Of course, some of these aren’t good ideas, and some of these are already present in other sites (like you mentioned before). again October 30, 2013 So, yes, colors. 001sonkit November 1, 2013 DiceNow is an innovative site for gambling BOTH Bitcoin and Litecoin. It is by far the most far reaching Bitcoin dice game place. No doubt that the owner is having less history in our community. But he shows an undeniable effort on his site. First off the best feature that made a lot of JustDIce user long necked is the leveraging invest feature. Since the probability on having the invest profit to have a 30% or more cut is really low. So it is reasonable to take on some risk and leverage the investment and to maximize the return on your coins. Clever system eh The multi-rake system for having big bets to have higher risk to protect the house, and the money can be supported by all bankrolls by the overflowing mechenism (eg: if 3% house cant take up the whole thing, it will share to 2% and so on) Item based invest system also protect investors from losing too much portion of the house. Since the base amount will still be the invested amount. For gamblers, bots are really attractive, having 1000 bets in a second is like Just Dice martingale on steroid, without plugin, without waiting nights to reach your point. An extra thing is that the owner is very responsible and hardworking, he has a nice plan on the development and he is willing to make improvements and changes to the site. By far he had made major improvements on the site efficiency, and adding Chinese language to accept the undead Chinese gamblers. One last thing on the UI, he is making improvement on that now. A site with much higher quality takes a bit more time Reply again November 1, 2013 People obviously invested/related to the site should be marked as such, as the review gets completed biased.Dicenow has no innovations besides colors, if you can call that an innovation then so be it. The “bots” you talk about are completely broken, they forgot to copy that part from the site which got them working. The investment system is completely non-sense for anyone that has the slightest clue on the kelly criterion (special hint: anything above 1 kelly is idiotic).An extra thing: given your age, are you even allowed to be there ? Reply 001sonkit November 2, 2013 You are always welcome to go back to ____Dice where almost 0 improvements are made across the past few months or a random dice site with a full feature close to this one. Bitcoin is not a legal tender, so does a random FarmVille Coin, gambling with them is not a problem even I am 3 years old. PS This is not a place for name-calling so_smart November 6, 2013 I forgot you were a professional lawyer… why are you even trying to give legal advice ?
