I haven't heard of this Wazambas casino either.  As for 22Bet casino, from what I read on gambling forums, it might actually be the same owners as 1xbet and 1xbit.  Those guys apparently have a real bad rep for not letting players withdraw winnings and things like that.  Selective scamming, I think they called it.  So yeah no wonder you're having issues getting your money back from them.  I'd stay away from sites like that if I were you.  Stick to the more well known places that have been around a while.  At least that way youve got some shot at cashing out when you win. 

It's kind of obvious, but I'll say it anyway - having a completely decentralized poker platform with just a website and no download is practically impossible.  A website would mean you'd have to trust some main server to handle things, which ruins the whole decentralization idea.   

I mean, it makes sense why someone might want that - just hop on a site and play no hassle.  But the tech doesnt really allow for it if you truly want a decentralized platform. Adn yeah, that means a download is pretty much mandatory.

Launching a new online betting and casino website sure ain't no picnic.  You gotta think about stuff like licenses, payment systems, marketing, customer service teams, reputation...  Getting the software and APIs is the easy part and  those are just the tools.  Building a real, long-lasting biz in this highly competitive and regulated industry - that's the hard stuff.  Makes me wonder if you know what you're getting into here.  Theres a whole lot more to running this kind of operation than just cobbling together the tech parts.

These little startups don't always have a ton of resources, so things can get messy sometimes.  Their websites might look kinda crappy or have some issues, and maybe their bonus programs got gamed at first.  But you gotta give 'em credit for trying to make things right.  If they're working on the site and thinking about changing the bonuses, it shows they actually care what people think and 

Im not saying you should trust 'em completely right away.  But if folks make an effort to fix their mistakes that's usually a decent sign.  I'd be willing to give them another shot and see what happens.

What do you think?

You know those silly little bets we made as kids, like I bet you can't climb that tree! It was never really about money or anything, just bragging rights.  As adults though, it gets more complicated when the stakes are higher and  even if you're just joking around.

Like say you get caught up in the moment watching a game with your buddy.  You bet your whole salary on something crazy happening - not thinking he'll actually hold you to it if you lose! But legally, could he make you pay up? Im guessing it depends on your local laws and the specifics and all.

Anyway, my advice is to keep it light with bets.  Don't let things escalate too far just because you're feeling cocky.  Otherwise you might end up learning the hard way where that legal line in the sand is drawn!

This topic is unrelated to the topic title about Metawin casino.  The OP may have had good intentions in mind, but the way he behaves on the forum comes across as attention-seeking spam and even trolling.  I try to give folks the benefit of the doubt.  Maybe this member feels their perspective is underappreciated.  However, attacking people or businesses likely won't remedy that.  If this user dialed back the intensity, listened sincerely and spoke respectfully, they could contribute meaningfully and even present his business idea in a better light.  But he doesn't seem to have the capacity for that.

Thank you all for your comments. 

It seems like P2P on centralized exchanges is a preferred method here.  Since KYC is likely unavoidable with centralized exchanges, how do you people handle the tax implications? Do you report all your crypto income to the tax office?

I agree. The ideas he gets here may not be enough to start a successful business. But still, I think brainstorming with other folks could give him new perspectives he hadn't thought of solo.  Someone might not hand him a million dollar concept outright, but could ask thoughtful questions or offer input steering him the right way. 

A few possibilities in hand, he could mock up barebones landing pages using that free domain.  Itd give him a taste if potential customers dig those concepts.  Not failproof market research but better than theorizing in a vacuum.

I know this question has probably been asked a bunch of times before, but with the ever-changing crypto landscape, I'm curious to hear everyone's latest thoughts.

What method do you find most convenient and cost-effective for converting your crypto holdings to fiat currency? CEXs, P2P, Debit Cards... ? Also curious if any new or up-and-coming techniques are on your radar.

You make a fair point on valuing quality over quantity with sports bets.  Just trying to chase the best odds can get you into trouble by taking on too much risk and  i'd say it's smarter to zero in on wagers with strong value, even if the odds are just decent and not through the roof.

That said, if your picks keep missing the mark, it makes sense to reevaluate your approach.  But there's a difference between overthinking past choices versus taking in new info.  Maybe a key guy just got hurt or there was a last-second change to the roster that shakes up your original analysis.  In those cases changing up your selection could be the right call.

OP, I get what you're saying about how gambling addiction can mess up people's lives.  No doubt it causes big problems for some folks and their families when it gets out of control.  but at the same time, I don't think all gambling is bad by default. You could say its kind of like having a drink - most people can enjoy it in moderation as a hobby.  They budget some mad money for entertainment, hit the casino a few times a month with their buddies, have some laughs at the tables then call it a night.  As long as people keep it casual and the state watches the industry to keep things on the up-and-up, gambling can be a nice way to blow off some steam.  At least that's how I see it.

I kinda get where he's coming from, but I ain't fully sold on it.  Ultimately, what matters most is if people are crushing their goals and staying on track with projects, right? Who cares if Debra in accounting is brainstorming in her PJs instead of choking down gas station coffee in a traffic jam?

Now look I get it aint for everyone.  Some folks thrive off collaborating in person and need that water cooler chat to spark ideas.  But for others, the flexibility of remote work does wonders for their productivity and  they don't need an open office plan to crush it.   

From what I've noticed, seems like a lot of Bitcoin heads are fully remote anyway.  With crypto, you can chart charts, run numbers, scribble code, shill coins, and tweet hot takes from wherever - just need that laptop battery juice and a WIFI connection. As long as deliverables are met and timelines looked good does it really matter if you're camped in a WeWork or a hammock in Costa Rica?

As Coin_trader already mentioned, e-commerce is still developing and I can assume that it will become more and more popular in the future. You could look for a niche product or service related to cryptocurrency or blockchain technology that isn't already well-served online.

Another service with future potential is a customer-centric crypto payment processor. Unlike traditional processors for merchants, this would allow customers to shop at any online store and pay with cryptocurrencies, acting as an intermediary between buyers and merchants. I know this idea requires a lot more than just web hosting and a domain, but it might be worth thinking about.

Lenders make their living figuring out how to handle risky borrowers.  There is a collateral requirement for that. They don't need advice from some random person on the internet who can't spell hardly properly.  Taking out a loan is no joke - you gotta pay that money back and  if you don't, then youre the one in trouble, not the lender.

No, you're probably not the only one who feels that way, but for starters, you should move this question to the proper board. This has nothing to do with the Bitcoin discussion.

No, that's not going to happen. Every time I see you writing nonsense and lies, I will call you out on it.  I'm sorry if you don't like it, but... the only way to stop me is to stop bullshitting!

My folks are getting up there in years.  Cryptocurrency adventures rank pretty low on their list of priorities, to put it mildly.  Getting them to wrap their heads around the notion of a digital wallet, much less invest in something as abstract as Bitcoin? That's a war I just don't have the energy to wage. 

They're set in their ways and  and I cant blame them - they came of age long before terms like digital assets entered the lexicon.  Heck, my dad still refers to the remote control as the clicker.  The pace of technological change leaves them dizzy.  To them email might as well be magic.   

Sports betting requires skill and knowledge, not some exploit.  Casinos exist because the odds are stacked against you. Your UMG thing reeks of the same manipulative tactics but what's worse, you lie about it with nonsense like "everyone wins!"  Of course, anyone with common sense knows that this is a lie.

The "bug" is that you actually have less than $1 available for betting, but due to rounding, the casino displays the closest amount. Try to reduce the number of lines so that your total bet amount is less than $1 and try to play again.


It's true. the minimum bet amount is $0.10 per line, but this does not mean that you have to play all ten lines for each spin. You can, for example, choose a single line and your bet per spin will be $0.10.


I respect notblox's perspective and understand his motivation for cautioning others about this casino after his own negative experience.  However, if we're being fully honest, any new platform poses some level of risk - the possibility exists for users' funds to essentially disappear for a variety of reasons. 

That said, I successfully withdrew my winnings from AnonBet myself, and Im clearly not the only one who has done so without issue thus far...  even still, building a reputable brand and earning community trust takes time.  Just because some have had positive encounters doesn't necessarily make it an established or respectable company just yet.  Perhaps with more time and additional positive user experiences, concerns about this casino will subside.

Your example contradicts the definition. Depending on where you live, someone can easily live on $500 a month left over after investing in Bitcoin. This scenario might not be truly aggressive if basic needs are covered.
