Why people look for a SatoshiDice alternative
SatoshiDice is the name most people connect with Bitcoin dice. The game itself is simple and it has aged well: choose how likely you want your bet to be, see what it pays, and roll. What has changed is how people want to use Bitcoin. Waiting on on-chain confirmations for a few thousand sats is slow, and network fees can swallow a small bet. Lightning fixes that, and that is what Lightning Faucet dice is built on.
How the dice game works
Each roll lands between 0.00 and 99.99. You pick a target between 0.01 and 99.98 and decide whether the roll will land over or under it. The less likely your pick, the bigger the multiplier, scaling up to 9,500x on a single roll. That one slider is the entire game: how much risk do you want on this bet? Our guide to Bitcoin dice with a free faucet walks through targets and payouts with examples.
What is different about dice on Lightning
- Instant deposits and payouts. Pay a Lightning invoice and you are rolling in seconds. Wins are credited to your balance as the roll settles.
- Small bets make sense. Bets start at 5 sats, and the minimum deposit is 100 sats, so you do not need to commit much to try it.
- No signup form and no KYC. Sign in with a Lightning wallet or a recovery code. No ID documents are requested.
- Quick withdrawals. Withdrawals are paid as an LNURL-withdraw QR that any Lightning wallet can scan. The minimum withdrawal is 100 sats, and withdrawals unlock after a first deposit of just 100 sats.
Provably fair, with a checker you can use
Provably fair dice is the reason this style of game earned trust in the first place, so it should be easy to check. Each result is HMAC-SHA256 of a server seed, your client seed and a nonce that increases with every bet. The server seed hash is shown before you roll. Rotate your seed and the old one is revealed, then paste it into the provably fair checker to reproduce every roll it covered. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see how to verify a dice roll.
Try it without depositing
Claim sats from the free daily scratchcard or the weekly free spin, then take them to the dice table. When you want to play bigger, deposit from any Lightning wallet.
Play it like a game
Dice is fast, which makes it easy to lose track of how much you have staked. Set a budget before you start and stop when it is gone. Our guide to setting limits shows how.
