At vDice.io we like Ethereum games. We especially like gambling and betting games. This is where Ethereum shines.
Gambling on the blockchain…that’s where it belongs.
There is a lot of interest in vDice.io.
@vDice_io Wow! A fun and enjoying game to play!

It made us realise something. Ethereum is perfect for games! And not just gambling games…all kinds of games.
vDice.io provides a home and intuitive UI/UX for different development teams building great Ethereum Gambling Dapps.
Well colour us surprised. The Ethereum price is holding strong, isn’t it? We’d even say it’s holding damn strong (is that swearing?).
Anyway, we don’t like to focus too much on the price. We believe in the technology.
If we didn’t, well, we wouldn’t have spent so much damn (there it is again) time and effort building such a kick-arse gambling platform for Ethereum.
vDice is the first web based UI/UX for the first on blockchain Ethereum gambling game.
What does that mean?
Good question…
Well, vDice is a website running a UI/UX for a Dapp. This betting Dapp lives on the Ethereum network. It is fully decentralised. There is no server.
The Ethereum blockchain is the server! The gambling code lives on the Ethereum network.
Most betting games, even for cryptocurrencies, are centralised.
You send your money to the owners of the game. You trust them to hold it, like an exchange.
You play. Then, when you want to withdraw, you try to withdraw.
You hope the people who run the game are honest! If so, you get your withdrawal. If not, too bad. 🙁
Once you send them your Ether, you are trusting them.
Unless you’ve been living on Mars, under a rock, with your eyes shut, and your fingers in your ears, you’ve no doubt heard about the DAO ‘hack’.
Yes, yes, I called it a ‘hack’. It may be a bug, or a feature, or whatever. All that is beside the point for now.
It’s been crazy since launch. Everybody loves vDice.io …Great, so great.
Now we have one of our guys just doing replies…only replies. Can you believe it?
We’re a small team, but we have to put a guy just on replies. It’s crazy. Thanks everyone.
It’s an honour to keep receiving all this praise. Really, thank you everyone.
Patrizio Stavola sent this tweet out today about vDice.

Patrizio is an Ethereum guy. He’s really respected. Everyone knows him. He’s great. What a coder.
vDice.io went live yesterday. The response has been unbelievable!
Everybody loves the game. We have people emailing us and messaging us, telling us how excited they are.
We had a guy send this:
“Cool site, used to love SD in early bitcoin days. Gonna love playing it again with ETH. Awesome.” – Desi J.
It’s amazing to see everybody respond so well. It’s really incredible.
Ethereum betting games are pretty scarce at the moment.
So, with that…Greetings fellow Etherians (is that a word?). We are pleased to announce vDice is now live.
This is an Classic SatoshiDICE clone, implemented as an Ethereum Smart Contract. vDice is connected to the main-net, and has a few Ethers in it, so you can give it a ‘spin’.
Actually vDice.io is simply where you will find a web interface for the actual smart contract game, as implemented by its development team.
