Recently, I’ve come across evidence that some minecraft servers such as CosmicPvP, had been deliberately rigging the odds of various functions on their server, potentially illegal behaviour…

The best way to ruin that servers is duping to the point the server has to be shut down
Honestly speaking, in game transactions has always been a thing in MC servers. Even places like hypixel when it launched. All that differs is the severity.
have you reached out to the FTC, SEC, FCC, FBI…?
You need to take down insanity craft…a smaller but still absolutely gross PTW server… server resets way to fast, crates are expensive as fuck and the odds say less than like 2%, ranks go anywhere from what they say is free but really $20-somewhere in the area of $400 but the people that have that rank are never honest about what they paid apparently the $400 is a placeholder but I call bs I played the server for like a week and was absolutely disgusted
hey 8:45 that’s me
cosmicpvp doesn’t even exist anymore like what 1:34
Take this loser down man. Keep up gods work
the world is a great place full of shitty systems and structures (like this one) drawing people into greed, hatred, and other natural negative desires/emotions. God bless mother nature, and society as a whole.
Doesnt it make total sense for the slot bot to have disproportionally high rolls on the final one due to it being guranteed there..?
Its a shitty system but percentage wise it makes sense to hit "pity" way more often than other areas due to the low base chance, considering its 1/1000, so by design it should roll at 250/guranteed 4 times before any other spot..
Bro you gotta make a video on Greavys and crew. They played Minecraft servers (cosmic, minecadia, etc) and were just caught social engineering 1 individual for 240 million USD in crypto
We need to interview FINNSTER. He was featured so much on the server. He should know SOMETHING about it's gambling
its so sad seeing that people need to a specialy made calculator to calculate probability, its the easiest shit ever just do it with a normal calculator
Can we get some hackers in to scare mojang/Microsoft or something these gambling servers are getting way too out of hand
In my Minecraft server we still have crates but you don't pay for the crates you vote and have a chance to get a better one by voting. So then people aren't paying for their chances.
I know this really doesnt matter to the point of the video, but im gonna say it anyway: Looking at how likely it was to get exactly 2 of something can be deceptive, because people often look at that and think it's the odds of getting at least 2 of that item, so generally its a good thing to show the calculated odds of how likely it was to get at least 2. (Granted, you showed the AV afterwards, so this matters little, but there are real world cases where this kind of mistake goes wrong)
bro mrepic, ur server is also p2w, dont act like an angel. a rank in ur server costs 200 USD BRO WTH. YOUR SERVRE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN
I got an online casino ad before this 😂
How are your vote crates any different? Aren't they a form of deceptive gambling even if they don't give "pay to win" options? Or can you not buy your crates.
I got an ad for online gambling with this video
Microsoft doesnt care☠️
THIS IS NOT JUST ILLEGAL Gambling THIS IS ILLEGAL LOTTERYS
This is the first time I’ve seen a useful use of a binomial distribution 💀
when can there be a game with gambling but always give the player what it wants
It’s not that serious, it’s not real gambling that kids are playing. I would be concerned if kids were playing blackjack and baccarat. With low % for goodies….. I could care less
Can't wait until this man discovers mine but servers…
Origin reals added crates recently, the casino is still gone but its way more p2w now
We're there lootboxes in fortnite. Is/was it STW?
as a gambler myself i hate watching children gamble in minecraft if they could go to an actual casino
The biggest problem with online gambling is you can modify the chances in any way you want, and if anyone complains about it, or even gives legit statistics of their experience like you did, the owners can literally just say you were unlucky.
Good video, but 1:34 jen-yoo-wine?
Keep doing your thing, Epic.
This whole thing will come to a front eventually… hopefully.
something i think would be interesting to investigate is modded servers like pixelmon and other massive mods that have servers. a unchecked corner of minecraft servers
Minecadia does this too will put items you genuinely can’t win in their Lootboxes or their “hype boxes”
the double standards they have with these rules is crazy
You didn't look at the cumulative probability. Instead of looking at the probability of getting exactly 2 events, you should have looked at the probability of getting 2 or less events, which is higher than the probability you ended up with. Still doesn't change the conclusion though.
Once again, great video on cosmic!
While Cosmic PvP and Cosmic Prisons have shut down, Cosmic Sky has actually relaunched not too long ago and still has slot bot tickets. I played for a bit at launch, but never looked into the slots so I don't know if they are the same or not. I do know that lootboxes are still a thing as my friend bought 3 and to be expected, he got some of the worst items possible.
false sales/discounts are extremely illegal btw
almost all minecraft servers do it
this guy would have a stroke if he played an ounce of Roblox, that platform is a hornets nest of child gambling
um
I played Cosmic servers when I was younger and it never hit me until this video that all these gambling mechanics were just accepted and part of the server culture. I actually bought a crate once and remember getting nothing good, unlike the crazy rolls that would be showcased in videos. Glad this is coming to light!
might not be predators but they are still preying on keds
as a programmer who has worked with randomness before I can definitely say that the odds on cosmic are rigged.
as true randomness would not even be close to what is shown.
the only way is to boost or reduce certain results.
for example you can generate a number between 1 and 10 and then generate a coin flip for every number that is not 10.
that would mean that every number except 10 will have a 1/20 chance of winning vs 1/10 for the number 10.
this would show as every number except 10 having a result that is closer to 1/20 than 1/10.
Everyone blaming Mojave don’t realize Microsoft owns them so it’s not them willingly looking the other way but being forced to by Microsoft for money you can tell mojang employees genuinely love the game also there’s probably hundreds of thousands of servers mojang can’t be everywhere also Jen is still there do you think he’d willingly stay if he didn’t like there plans
Loot boxes are actually dependent on the country, since in my game design class we had to decided if it was or not
in my long 24 years on this planet, I've learned most people don't care about kids.
Would love to see a follow up with how the server is now. I hear cosmic sky just came back.
sadly your server is kinda dead. Plus you need a 100 dollar rank to use the bosses yall
The way they get away with the spin odds are because there’s no pity system, it’s a 0.5% with each spin, make a spinner and flick it, you’ll NEVER roll that 0.5% of the circle
