"Bitino is a games company based in London." Then you are breaking the law. UK-based gambling companies have to ensure that customers are over 18. Running a gambling game that uses anonymous payments goes against this principle!

Oh no, somebody call the bitcoin police, quick.

Or the regular police would suffice, in this case.

You could still do identity verification using either a 3rd party service, or by getting sight of ID documentation. (Certified copies of passports posted out, for instance. Sounds mad, I know, but I worked at a gaming start up and we had to do that for some customers!)

In fact, you'll have to do that ANYWAY to be compliant, regardless of the method you use to fund accounts.

I gave it a shot with 0.1 BTC. Funds were available to start using a few seconds after I sent them. Went up a bit, got a 10, decided to cash out. Funds can't be withdrawn until the initial transfer has been confirmed 6 times (standard w/ bitcoins). Fun, simple. GJ.

6 confirmations finally occurred, was able to withdraw. So, all in all, no problems.

I was saving the private URL's (e.g. http://bitino.com/uQWyylFetc...) to go back to and withdraw my cash later. (My browser cookies clear upon exit). The pages show the correct bitcoin balance, but they're not letting me withdraw! It says I haven't played a game, so even when I go ahead and play another, it still says "You haven't played yet!"

Could you fix this ASAP because I actually put a decent amount of money in this...

Just curious, how this link was posted anew, since there was one on HN previously? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5293812

heh, it seems one has a trailing slash and the other doesn't. I knew the dupe detector could be tricked by a trailing #, but this is new to me.

ah - got it.

Okay, I revoked the accusation. I'm afraid my instinct is to mistrust people by default. We'll soon see if my instincts are wrong.
