clearing your cookies may have caused the issue. send through here an address and we will process the withdrawal reply
There's actually a lot of them. Is there a way to just modify it so that I can withdraw using just the private URL? (Otherwise, I'll send another support email [from gummybean] with the addresses.)

we haven't received any emails from you - support@bitino.com will look into the private URL thing now and revert. You will get your BTC soon one way or another.

Dear Bitino,
I'm a little bit worried. I was saving the URL's (here's one of mine:
http://bitino.com/REMOVED/) to go back to and withdraw my cash
later. The page shows 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 round, it still says "You haven't played yet!"
Could you fix this ASAP because I actually put a decent amount of money in
this.
Thanks,
REMOVED

Re: Show HN: My friends just built a Bitcoin casino
#56"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!
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 wonder if it is possible to use bitcoins and comply with the UK gambling restrictions against money laundering? At first glance, it looks impossible, bitcoins being (supposedly) untraceable. However, you might be able to comply if you insist that winnings are always paid back to the same bitcoin wallet that they came from. The justification here being that your website won't have 'washed' the money any further than it was already laundered.

True, although by the time you've signed up and proven ID, you've lost the 'spontaneous' appeal of the site (making it quick and easy to have a bet). I guess the site still has the advantage of low-cost money transfers and no risk of chargebacks, so bitcoins may have a use here. I wonder if it is possible to use bitcoins and comply with the UK gambling restrictions against money laundering? At first glance, it looks…
I'm more interested to see if these guys get shut down or if the Gaming Commission would turn a blind eye. I notice no available contact details on the site or domain name registration. (Good for avoiding the law, bad for making me trust you with my money.)
Re: Show HN: My friends just built a Bitcoin casino
#59I don't really understand why "provably fair" would be so big deal. The house is winning always, no matter what. But I don't gamble myself, so perhaps I don't uderstand that world that well.
Provably fair means the shuffle and order of the cards are verifiably random and also that they cant be changed once the game has started. Provably fair means you know exactly what you are dealing with before you start. Game payout odds are clearly displayed in the payout table.
