==Before You Join==
==Before you Join==
 
Before you actually join the server, there are a few things you should know.
 
===The Staff===
 
The owner of the server can be extremely helpful and understanding. Unfortunately, he is hardly ever on and rarely responds to any kind of messaging. To counter this, he hired several staff members. One of which is someone you do NOT want to encounter. Any time a player has made a comment that could possibly put him or his actions in a negative light, he rants for a minimum of two hours, often saying "I'm going to stab somebody" or similar. Once, he muted a player globally and then proceeded to insult him for about an hour while he could not respond in any way. He has also been known to arbitrarily mute, ban, and kick players. That admin's name is DeviantTwo, so if you see him on the server then be sure to not say anything. The reason this is included in this page is that it truly ruins many player's experience of the server. Once banned a player has no claim to the bitcoins on their account. The player mentioned below had around half a Bitcoin on his account at the time of his ban and he was not allowed to withdraw it.


===Rules===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| Rule #1 || Harassment of any type will not be tolerated. This includes racism, sexism, slurs, and bullying.
|-
| Rule #2 || Deceiving others for personal gain (on or off the server) will also not be tolerated.
|-
| Rule #3 || Bitvegas is not the place to ask for handouts or to hawk your wares.
|-
| Rule #4 || Remember the rule of thumb: if you would get in trouble for doing it at a real casino, it is not welcome here.
|-
| Rule #5 || No hacks of any type are permitted on the server.
|-
| Rule #6 || No Abuse of any exploits.
|-
| Rule #7 || No misleading referrals or abuse of the referral system.
|}


There is little to no consistency in the punishment. One player stole thousands of dollars worth of Bitcoins from the server by exploiting a glitch, yet he has not been punished as he gave them back. Another player was permanently banned for posting a misleading advertisement for the server that lead players to believe they would be given administrative abilities upon joining. The staff also deleted a [http://www.reddit.com/r/BitVegas/comments/1fjbyf/staff_abusedevianttwo/ post on the server's subreddit] about staff abuse.
===Penalties===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| 1st Offence || Warning, Kick or 1-6 hour ban
|-
| 2nd Offence || 24 Hour Ban.
|-
| 3rd Offence || Permanent Ban.
|}


===Server Downtime===
(Penalties are subject to change on a case-by-case basis depending on the severity of the offence. This is up to the discretion of the staff).
 
The server often goes down without warning, sometimes for as long as a week, though usually somewhere around a day. The owner claims that no one loses money when the server goes down, but there have been claims of people losing as much as .1 BTC on bets that were never finished due to the server crashing.
 
===Rules===
 
The server does not actually have any rules that players are informed of upon joining, yet the administrators tend to make a habit of banning people for things they deem "common sense". Players have been muted or banned for simply having an argument with another player. If you do get banned, do not expect a reason from that staff member.

Parkour

An incredibly difficult game that challenges player's depth perception, player control, and familiarity with the mechanics of Minecraft. There are three levels of difficulty.

Extra Information

Provably Fair

By each game is a box with a check mark. Upon clicking this box the player will receive a link showing information from the current and last round of the game. These pages show that the games are fair.

Examples:

http://www.bitvegas.net/v/?&g=roulette&id=10920

http://www.bitvegas.net/v/?&g=minefield&id=6519

Referrals

Players receive .005(5mBTC) instantly as well as 5 free gifts for every player they get to join the server. When a player types "/referrals" in the game, they will be shown information regarding their referrals. This includes a link to their referral page, the number of referrals they have, and the number of times their referral page has been visited. A referral link is the same as a link to http://www.bitvegas.net, except that once visiting the referral link, the website logs the user's IP address. In order to get a referral, a player must share their referral link with a person who has not joined the server before. Upon joining the server, if the IP the user displays is the same as one that has been displayed on the player's referral page, the player will receive the referral reward.


Help Books

The server has a help book for players so they can better understand the games. Players may acquire these by clicking the question mark at every game.
