Do not go to this site. IT's nothing more than a lie. Used to steal Real Life time and money. In exchange for ingame currency.
Won over 650 Mill and after words they banned my account from there site. MY next few months will be spent on making sure everyone in eve knows this site is bullshit.

You signed up 3 alts, despite every signup page and login page clearly states 1 person per account.
All were signed up within few minutes and with same password. That doesnt go well with the:

"My wife plays too and oh we had a friend over at the same time" - explanation.

Its clear stated in our rules that using alts to gain advantages over normal players is against rules, will result in ban and any wins void.

As much as I appreciate your crusade, i'm sure you will have a hard time finding other sites that allows alts, but I bid you good luck. You broke our rules, you got banned. End of story.

Feh. You signed up alts, which is going to get you banned anywhere - be it PodLuck, Blink or EOH.

I've been playing at PodLuck for about 6 months and I've never seen any reason to believe that they're not 100% legit. Not only have they paid out every win I've gotten well within their promised timeframe, but they've clearly been working hard lately adding a bunch of stuff to the site to clear up this kind of tinfoil-hattery (e.g. every flash now shows the % of tickets the winner bought, so you know that guy who's on a win streak is actually buying 70% of the tickets).

They've also started allowing players to donate their prizes not only towards promos, but towards PLEX for Good too - which is a fantastic move in my book.



Note: Most recently I've been posting in this thread, so you can be assured that I have no affiliation with any of these sites. I just can't stand people bad-mouthing a legitimate and fun site just because they can't follow the clearly defined rules.

Now Im no expert as all this computery site stuff, but shouldnt people be worried that you can actually see the passwords they choose for their accounts?

Sure they are passwords chosen for your site specifically, but we all know people have a tendency to use 1 password for several sites or services. What if you were to have malicious intent?

This is the exact reason why we write in red bold large letters NOT to use Eve password.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't two identical passwords still be identical after encryption? You wouldn't have to actually see the password itself to tell that they were the same.

Yup, since the encrpytion key can't really be dynamic.

You could have a dynamically created hash or salt key, and store that in the database alongside the password, which would cause your encrypted password to be different...but your key would be out in the open anyway, sort of making it moot.

However, since the creator of the website says you shouldn't use your EVE password, it kind of implies that the password for the system isn't converted to gibberish in the database. After all, if it was encrypted, reading the table isn't going to do much for you. The creator could decrypt the passwords, but that's a risk you take anywhere.

Already dropped 140m on this site, did nothing but the slots. Didn't win a damn thing, so the percentage is pretty damn low in my opinion. Not returning to this site.

I had not violated the TOS. 1 account. All of a sudden i get knocked out with a message that my account has been disabled. Couldn't even check out what happened to my bids. Sent in-game mail as instructed. No response after weeks! Account still disabled. What a scam. Refund the ISK in my account and the entire last round of bids buddy. Tried this thing for a laugh when i was bored but never thought it was such a blatant rip-off. Oh well, lesson learned i guess.

I have sent you evemails on 3 different characters. Let me make one thing clear:
"When you block EVETOOLSDOTORG, please don't send me evemails I cannot reply to."

You have received alot of replies why you are banned, but blocking us and taking your crusade to forums is .. well, your business.

1) I block all Jita spam/scams. 2) I only blocked you after weeks of zero response and only one char so I can't see why multiple other chars couldn't get through. 3) regardless of the matter of communications - I never violated TOS in any way so why kick me out of the game without even letting me see the outcome of my bids and why disable my account? You basically took all of the ISK I had bid and shut me out. Come on, really?

You lost isk on a gambling site so it's a con. It's a gambling site where people gamble so if everyone wins it goes bankrupt. You do understand this basic principle right?
You freely admit to blocking the person you sent the mail to so why should they go to extraordinary lengths to contact you? You blocked THEM. If you blocked me after sending a complaint mail to me I wouldn't use one of my alts to contact you just to nurse your ego.
Sure there are a few discrepancies on the site (It's pretty obvious when big wins are approaching) but these are things I am pretty sure could have been ironed out in the future with feedback.

It's a shame to see it close down.

Good luck site dev on your next endeavour.

That's the 1st thing I noticed too.
Not storing passwords encrypted?

Seems a bit dodgy.

Regarding encryption method. Same passwords can be encrypted same way so string (hash) will be the same = same password.
