Frequently Asked Questions

What is DuckDice?

DuckDice is an online cryptocurrency dice game. It is a chance game built around crypto-money. In dice game player placing bets against a randomly (pseudorandom since there is no pure random) generated number. It is close to guessing numbers in lottery, but with a way higher probability of winning. Featuring exquisite design and flawless performance DuckDice offers outstanding gaming experience where reliability is treated as the highest priority.

What is cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of currency units and verify the transfer of funds, operating independently of a central bank. Cryptocurrency is also a kind of an online payment system where you can pay anonymously. Bitcoin is a number one cryptocurrency that is legally recognised in many countries.

Which cryptocurrencies do you support?

Currently, we support:

• Bitcoin (BTC)
• Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
• Dogecoin (DOGE)
• Litecoin (LTC)
• Ethereum (ETH)
• Monero (XMR)
• Dash (DASH)
• Ripple (XRP)
• Ethereum Classic (ETC)
• Bitcoin Gold (BTG)
• Stellar (XLM)
• Zcash (ZEC)

More cryptocurrencies can be added in the future.

How to play?

1. Create an account. You can simply start by choosing username and securing account by setting a password and an e-mail later.
2. DEPOSIT some cryptocurrency or use FAUCET feature.
3. Set up your BET by specifying:
   • BET AMOUNT – amount of crypto-money you want to place;
   • GAME TYPE – LOW, if you think the next roll will be smaller than the target number, displayed on the field. HIGH, if you think the next roll will be greater than the target number;
   • WIN CHANCE – the lower the chance, the higher the payout.
4. Hit ROLL.

Then a random number between 0 and 9,999 will be generated and compared to the target number in the following way:

• If the chosen GAME TYPE is LOW and the random number is LESS than the target number then RESULT is WIN, otherwise LOSS;
• If the chosen GAME TYPE is HIGH and the random number is GREATER than the target number then RESULT is WIN, otherwise LOSS.

In case of WIN, your WIN AMOUNT equals to BET AMOUNT times PAYOUT to your BALANCE. In case of LOSS, your WIN AMOUNT is 0.

Please note that due to rounding WIN CHANCE to the hundredths instead of displaying all digits after comma, a user can see a different PAYOUT amount with the same WIN CHANCE.

Are all bets fair and legitimate? Can I trust DuckDice?

DuckDice uses a provable, cryptographically fair system which means you don’t have to trust us blindly, each roll is cryptographically fair and can be verified to be manipulation free.

Please read more information on Fairness page.

How can I verify my bet?

All provably fair information and instructions can be found in the BET window

To open the window you should simply click on any bet in the BET HISTORY.

How does Automatic Betting work?

Automatic Betting allows you to use an automated betting strategy to reduce the risk of loss.

The most common betting strategy is Martingale.

Before you do though, make sure you understand the Automatic Betting (Autobet) settings:

• Bet amount: in this field, simply put how much cryptocurrency you wish to play per bet, remember, autobet goes fast, so make sure you have set the amount correctly.
• Win chance: in this field, put in what % you wish to play for, this will also automatically change the "payout" field, you can bet anywhere between 0.01% (9900x) your bet amount, all the way up to 98% (0.02x your bet amount).
• Payout: in this field, you can put in what payout you wish, for example 99x is 1%, 2x is 49.5%, like win chance, whatever you put in this field, will automatically change the "win chance" field and vice versa.
• Profit on Win: this field automatically changes based on bet amount, win chance/payout fields. And cannot be altered by you, it simply lets you know how much you could win.
• Number of Rolls: leave this field blank if you wish to roll for an unlimited amount of rolls (or until your balance cannot bet anymore at the bet amount you've chosen), or set it for 100, you will roll for 100, set it to 5, you will only roll 5 times, input any roll limit you wish.
• Increase bet by: in this field, you put a % you want to increase or decrease your base amount after a lost or won bet.
  If you are betting and you want your bet to increase by 1% simply enter 1%.
  If you wanted to decrease? The same but in reverse, want to decrease by 1% simply enter -1%.
  
  You can have both On Win and On Loss increase set at the same time, however, be careful to make sure your balance can cover the wild increases.
• Reset to base bet: enabled by default, this option will switch every consequent bet amount to the initial value that was set in the start of an autobet session. This option will disable On Loss/On Win.
• Stop autobet: once enabled, this option will stop autobet either after first won bet if under On Win, or after first lost bet if under On Loss.
• Min balance: in this field you can set a min balance that the autobet will not let you go under, have a 300k satoshi balance? (0.003 btc) but want to stop your balance from going under 150k? Set it to 0.0015, once a bet will take you over that if it loses, the autobet will automatically stop.
• Manual Switching High/Low mode: once enabled, DuckDice disclaims responsibility for timely side switching but allows a player to toggle High/Low while autobet is running.

Server Seed, Client Seed and Nonce changes ONLY during Randomization, please ming that Nonce will be changed starting from the next bet. Therefore simple page refresh cannot possibly affect your bet results or luck.

In order to appear in the Winners Spotlight your win amount must be greater than the values below.

Why my bet does not appear in the High Rollers tab?

In order to appear in the High Rollers tab your bet or win amount must be greater than the values below.

What is the House Edge?

The House Edge on DuckDice is only 1%. It means that in long-term betting 99% of wagered amount goes to the players.

In comparison, offline casinos or real money casinos take 15% or more as the House Edge.

What is Luck?

"Luck" is a measure of how good your game is against random numbers. "Luck" does not take bets value into account. When you win more than expected your "luck" is above 100% and when you lose more than expected your "luck" drops below 100%. The more you bet the more precise is your "luck" measurement.

What is the Faucet?

The Faucet feature allows you get some amount of cryptocurrency to play with for FREE. The purpose of the faucet is to test the game with zero risk prior to depositing. You can find an information about faucet amount per one claim and number of faucets per day in "What Is The Faucet Amount?" section.

Simply click FAUCET button, win the tick-tac-toe game and get a reward.

What is Qualified Wager?

Qualified wager amount is a part of your Total Wager Amount which we take into an account while calculating your Level.

Qualified wager amount depends on a wager age - wagered amount for today counts as 100% however, yesterday's wagered amount will be decreased by 0.5%, wager amount from 2 days ago will be decreased by 1% and so on. In other words wager amount will be subtracted by 0.5% for each day that passed since then.

Until your Faucet winnings will reach the minimum withdrawal amount, the Faucet Wager will have a negative effect on a Qualified Wager. The Negative effect equals your total Faucet Wager amount multiplied by your level coefficient (x2 for the second level, x3 for the third level, x4 for the fourth level and so on). The coefficient will be recalculated only at the beginning of a day, e.g. if you have started to play while you were level 3 and reached level 4, the coefficient will remain 3 until the next day despite how many times your level has been changed. Negative Faucet Wager will also degrade by 0.5% per day. Note, that a negative wager amount will be calculated only from a Faucet Wager below minimum withdrawal amount. If you will receive a tip from another player who is currently wagering faucet and did not reach minimum withdrawal amount same rules will apply, although no other bonuses will trigger Qualified Wager reduction.

After your Faucet winnings will reach the minimum withdrawal amount, the Faucet Wager will be counted as real money and will be eligible for Qualified Wager Amount.
