'''MegaDice''' (previously called '''SatoshiDice''') is a [[gambling]] website which uses the [[digital currency]] [[bitcoin]]. In 2012, SatoshiDice was the leading bitcoin gambling site in terms of amount wagered.

On 18 July 2013, [[Erik Voorhees]] announced that SatoshiDice had been sold for 126,315 [[Bitcoin|BTC]], or US$12.4 million at the time of the announcement.

==Background==
SatoshiDice launched in April 2012. As of January 2013, it had taken in approximately $15 million in bets. During 2012, SatoshiDice reported profits of over $500,000 in US dollars. However, in May 2013, SatoshiDice moved to block all US-based IP addresses, citing potential legal issues. In 2013 Satoshi Dice's servers were based in Dublin, Ireland.

==Offering==
In August 2012, [[Erik Voorhees]], founder of SatoshiDice, launched a "prospectus" for SatoshiDice, aiming to attract investors.

==Satoshi Dice Tribute, Classic, legacy and Session Game==
On October 31, 2013 the SatoshiDice Tribute game was launched, only to be shut down a month later after being plagued by slow performance, DDos attacks and other user-related issues. As of 2015, both the classic [[blockchain (database)|blockchain]] based game and a session game where players keep a balance at the site are available. A possibility for players to use their balance as part of the house bankroll was added in 2015.
