YABTCL - Bitcoin Lotteries - $0.1 for registered user and 50% of the house edge for our Instant and Scheduled Lottery

YABTCL stands for ‘Yet Another Bitcoin Lottery’, and it basically says all you need to know about this game. From the off, you will find that there layout of this bitcoin game is considerably more user-friendly than many other bitcoin games out there on the net. Even so, it may take a few more moments for you to acclimatise yourself with where everything is, and what everything does at YABTCL.com

One area in which YABTCL could do with a bit of an improvement is information. There is a lack of it on the homepage, and players are mostly made to figure out for themselves how YABTCL operates. As you know, though, this is a lottery based game so it shouldn’t be too tough a nut to crack. As is often the case with many bitcoin gambling games, YABTCL declares itself the most “provably fair lottery system” on the internet. On the plus side, you can play without having to register an account, which offers a fair degree of anonymity to players wishing to keep their adventures under wraps.

• YABTCL: How to play

Firstly, you need to understand the basics of this lottery game. Draws are only held on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, at 24:00 UTC every week. A total of 6 out of 67 numbers will be drawn, and tickets are available to snap up at varying prices. The lowest of these goes on sale for just 0.001 BTC. Players choose between 6 and 16 numbers on their ticket. Of course, the 6-number tickets are considerably cheaper than the 16-number tickets, since the latter gives you a greater chance of winning. Players need to land at least 2 of the numbers on their ticket to win anything at all. All of this makes the YABTCL lotto pretty much the same as other lotteries, in terms of how it operates.

There are also two other types of lotteries for you to play. The free lottery games can be played with up to 3 tickets per day, and each ticket snapped up can add 20 satoshis to the jackpot prize. Winnings are sent to the address you add into the box provided, when you win more than 0.0001 BTC.

The instant lottery offers you the chance to play a quickfire lotto game, and acts as more of an instant win title, than a true lottery game. This is very similar to bingo. Personally, we prefer the real lotto, which is only held thrice a week, as we’ve said.

• Banking options

Of course, you need a bitcoin wallet address before you can deposit into an account. You don’t even need a username if you don’t wish to have one, but you do need a bitcoin address. Once you’ve got that, you’re good to go. There are no limits on how much or how little you can deposit.

Withdrawals are required to be worth at least 0.0000543 BTC. You can withdraw winnings into any bitcoin wallet address (it doesn’t have to be one that has been registered).

• Promotions and bonuses

There isn’t much in the way of promotions and bonuses at this bitcoin lottery site. However, you can still bag a few free satoshis if you have less than 2,000 of your own in your account. Up to 2,000 free satoshis are provided for gameplay every 10 minutes. Using this option does increase the house edge to 1%, though. Affiliates or those who contribute with the website language translation can bag a few bonuses here and there. Currently, YABTCL can be played in English, Japanese, Spanish, Russian, Thai and German. If you can help translate the game into other languages, you can be rewarded with bonuses.Aside from those deals, there isn’t much else in the bonuses department for players at YABTCL.

• Customer support

This is quite limited. YABTCL can see players reached via e-mail (you can contact them viayabtcl@yabtcl.com). The contact us link on the homepage will take you straight to them. Twitter and Facebook pages have also been set up in the name of this game, so you could try your luck with those if you need instant assistance. With a game as complex as this, the chances are that you will need support at some stage or another if you’re new the whole bitcoin gambling concept.

• Final thoughts

YABTCL may very well be the leading bitcoin lottery game on the net, and we do like how it can offer you free and instant lottery gameplay as well as the main draws. Like most bitcoin gaming websites, it is quite vague on how the game is run, and lacks proper customer support. Even so, if you want to bet on lottery games with bitcoins, it could be worth a look.
