RoboBetBot v1.2.0

Emoji Resolution & Active Bet Cancellation

This release introduces emoji-based bet resolution and cancellation, making the betting experience significantly more user-friendly. Players can now resolve or cancel bets with simple emoji clicks instead of typing commands.

What's New

Major Features

Emoji-Based Resolution System

Active bets now display resolution emojis that both players can click to agree on outcomes:

  • 🅰️ emoji indicates Side A wins
  • 🅱️ emoji indicates Side B wins
  • ❌ emoji cancels the bet by mutual agreement
  • When both players click the same emoji, the action completes automatically
  • No typing required - just click and done

Dual Resolution Methods

Players can choose their preferred method:

  1. Emoji Method (NEW) - Click emojis directly on the bet message
  2. Command Method - Use traditional /bet resolve or /bet cancel commands
  • Both methods require consensus from both participants
  • Mix and match - one player can use emoji, the other can use command

Resolution Tracking System

  • Real-time vote tracking shows who voted for which outcome
  • Status messages appear in chat: "Player X voted Side A wins, waiting for Player Y..."
  • Bot maintains resolution state even if reactions are removed and re-added
  • Clear visual feedback throughout the resolution process

Bug Fixes

Active Bet Cancellation Fixed

  • Fixed critical bug that prevented cancellation of active bets
  • Active bets can now be properly cancelled with mutual agreement
  • Both emoji (❌) and command (/bet cancel) methods work correctly
  • Pending bets still allow instant cancellation by creator

Improvements

Enhanced User Experience

  • Automatic emoji addition to active bets for easy resolution
  • Clearer status updates during resolution/cancellation process
  • Improved bet embed footers with resolution instructions
  • Better error messages for invalid actions

Performance Optimizations

  • In-memory resolution tracking for faster response times
  • Optimized reaction handling to reduce API calls
  • More efficient consensus checking

How It Works

Resolving Bets with Emojis

  1. When a bet becomes active, the bot adds 🅰️, 🅱️, and ❌ emojis
  2. Both players click the emoji matching the winning side
  3. Bot automatically resolves and calculates payouts
  4. Instant confirmation message with results

Cancelling Active Bets with Emojis

  1. Both players click the ❌ emoji on an active bet
  2. Bot confirms both parties agree
  3. Bet is cancelled with no money changing hands

Traditional Commands Still Available

  • /bet resolve bet_id:1 winning_side:A - Creates confirmation request
  • /bet cancel bet_id:1 - Creates cancellation request
  • Both players confirm with ✅ reaction

Technical Details

  • Updated commands.js with enhanced reaction handling
