How do you feel that you invited four (4) people in crypto gambling? Do you feel this sense of accomplishment that you influenced them in this kind of activity? Personally, I would feel somehow bad for letting them into this kind of addicting activity.

Though that may be the case, I do agree on the last point you mentioned. The essence of investment means that you invest for future profit. If one is in a hurry to gain a quick profit, chances are that they would probably lose on their investment.

Maybe this is the influence on of ChipMixer being down on the market. Ever since it shutdown, lots of mixers have been surfacing as ChipMixer controlled majority of the mixer services in the market. This is an opportunity for most mixers given the amount of profit that they earn in a given day.

If you are unfamiliar with a certain mixer, better ask first in this forum for feedback from other persons who have used it as well. If no feedback or information is given in a certain mixer, better avoid it for your safety and security. Only use mixers that are advertised in this forum or has ample feedback from the community so you can have an overview of their experience in using such service.

As a newbie, you should familiarize yourself first with the forum rules as was stated in this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

After reading the rules, ask yourself this question: what is my goal and purpose on why I joined this forum?

After knowing what your goal is, it is now your duty and responsibility to at least know yourself with the basic fundamentals of cryptocurrencies. You can start by utilizing the search bar for questions that you have in mind. You can also watch videos on YouTube or read free materials on the internet to familiarize yourself with all the terminologies so you won't be confused here.

After reading and arming such with information, you can know create threads or comment on boards to provide discussion about a certain topic. Be reminded that before you post any question, check first if it has been asked before to avoid any spams and duplicates.

I do agree that Classical Chess is now played more in this day and age.

The problem with watching Classical Chess is the time that each players take a move. Since it takes around more than 3+ hours for the game to finish, it is relatively hard to captivate an audience in finishing a given match. This is the reason on why more rapid and blitz time formats are played regularly in these hosted and prestigious tournaments.

I strongly believe that Chess is in a good position now. Lots of streamers (e.g. Naroditsky, Nakamura, Botez sisters, Levi, etc.) are now hosting more and more videos that increase viewership in this sport.

Just to add, even random YouTube content creators advertise their own local casino and integrate it at the end of their videos.

I remember I was watching this creator on YouTube where he regularly posts prank videos which are funny as hell. But at the end of his every video, he was advertising this online gambling casino in which I believe is that he is a part of the admins on such website. It really destroys the whole image on how he created himself as this "funny guy" then suddenly he is now sharing ads of gambling platforms.

The funny thing is, after seeing his advertisements, the YouTube video ends with an ad which advertises another online gambling mobile application. It is just ridiculous at this point to see everything related to gambling.

Maybe it has something to do with KYC which renders it difficult to implement? I am not sure on why poker was such a challenge to be implemented given that other card games such as black jack, etc. are accessible in most online gambling platforms that I have played.

With this fact, this is definitely great news as this allows at least some interaction with other players. Knowing that you see a live game with real people participating makes the gambling game more interactive and alive at the same time. I hope that they add more features that cater towards interaction among players.

With regard to the usage of VPNs, I think every online casino has their respective terms and services which stipulate all the necessary prohibitions. For example, if the terms stipulate that they exclusively prohibit the usage of VPNs, then this should be constructive notice to all players in creating their accounts.

With regard to the survey if they are comfortably spending more time, I do think that it may help but gambling is a discretionary act. It is very easy to circumvent this and as a player I would get annoyed if surveys would be asked in a consistent basis.


I read this in a separate thread- did these person win the case? As far as I know, they have a lack of cause of action against these gambling establishments as their case should fail from the very start.

I definitely agree with you.

It actually applies to almost everything in cryptocurrencies- taking out a loan for investment or gambling is a very risky move that has more chances of you failing at the end. Even with the success of BTC investors during halving, one should never take a loan against an activity or investment with no absolute outcome.

My recommendation would be to invest your savings and the amount that you can lose at the same time. Treat any investment as money that can potentially be lost in the process.

I do think that what separates an online vs a physical casino are the amenities and complementaries that you receive upon entering the establishment. You also get to feel the ambience and environment of a physical casino since you get to interact with everyone and experience the whole venue. Not to mention, they offer free foods and hotel suits once you get to spend an xxx amount of money during your stay.

Though this may be the case, I do agree that the era of entering physical casinos are slowly going obsolete due to the presence of thousands of online gambling website nowadays. Though there may be some people who still prefer visiting a physical casino, I still think that the dominance of online gambling websites would prevail in the near future.

If there is one thing I learned over the years of gambling, it is that the house always win. Sure, there were times where I won huge amounts of money but at the same time, I lost more than I gained in the process of gambling.

At the end of the day, gambling is a choice that is made by the person. He/she embraces the risks that may follow in the course of their actions given the nature of the game itself. The odds and results are what define your subsequent actions as this would either make or break your whole situation.

Indeed, this is a case of a gambler trying his luck once again into filing a case for blaming his loss on the operator. Again, any gambling activity is NOT mandatory- it is upon the discretion of the person if he/she wants to gamble in the first place. Before you also delve into this kind of activity, there is that expected win/loss due to the nature of the activity itself.

I doubt that the case will proceed and the gambler would win this. Blaming others for "failing to stop you" upon a discretionary act is just plainly a last attempt which is obviously futile in the end. I just find it hilarious that people would go into lengths and blame others for their losses.

This is the reason on why forum accounts who participated in joining the 1xbit campaign signature are automatically negative-tagged by majority of the trusted users given the history of this scam company.

I hope this serves as a reminder to everyone that 1xbit is absolutely a fraud casino. No matter how much they try to conceal and to advertise their services, the fact still remains that they will only scam and take an exit every time there is a profit on their side.

Users should be aware and alerted about them. If people still fall on their fraudulent scheme, then the only person to blame is yourself.

This depends on several factors but what must first be addressed is on the casino you added your credit card into.

Is the casino well-established and reputable enough for you to give your additional information? Relatively new gambling websites may offer large bonuses compared to other casinos but you sacrifice upon the security they offer given that they can run-away with your money.

If the gambling company is well-reputable, then spending that kind of amount to reach the bonuses may be a good idea to save money in the future. But this depends on your discipline in which it could result to a double-edged sword. It can either make or break your savings depending on how you would approach your gambling habits.

I think we have to give Davis some credit even if he played poorly last game. Denver is just too stacked at the moment as they are really playing for the title for this year's playoffs. With Lebron aging and other players in Lakers being young and inexperienced, they have to rely on the veteran mentality of Lebron. Even if he is dominating the field, he cannot do it alone and this is the role that Davis entered.

The Denver team had executed a plan in order to at least reduce the score of Davis in the paint given on how dominant he is in the past games vs the Warriors. With his monstrous height and reach, he was guarded and focused in game two which resulted to his poor performance.

I wholeheartedly agree with you- gambling without patience can actually lead to devastating results which may let you gamble and gamble again.

Majority of the players here gamble with a limited budget. What you guys earn in a given game are recycled and the funds are to be used for the following bets. If instant withdrawal is not available, you are somehow forced to keep on depositing and depositing your money to satisfy your urges to at least recover your losses.

OP, unfortunately, you became an example in which people should be aware of. Without your sacrifice, then people would suffer with this kind of problem.

If we are going to base the trend of the price of BTC in its price history index, we will see that the price does increase annually. Though there are some instances where its price skyrockets and falls at the same time, the trend is that every time a fork happens, the price increases.

Rather than saving it as a retirement savings, use it as an investment where you maximize its potential by cashing-out when your investments mature. In other words, if your initial investment already profited, then at least 50% of it should be withdrawn and the remaining 50% for re-investment purposes.

Personally, I would maximize the potential of BTC by using it both as an investment and a retirement fund for HODLing purposes.

Slots are just one of those games where it actually depends on your luck. It has no skill involved and no tactics that could either increase the chances of you winning or losing at the same time. You get what you pay for- you just roll the dice and pray that the odds land on your favor. No matter how many slot games you try, the result will stay the same.

Personally, however, the worse slot games that I have encountered are the ones that are consistently being advertised on my social media platform made by locals in our country. The game and the rates are rigged to the point that many streamers take advantage of it by seemingly showing that the rates are high when in fact they are not.

I agree with you on this- I think this is more of a management issue than of the high tx issues of cryptocurrencies that everyone is currently experiencing.

With high transaction fees, gambling companies can at least gain some sort of monetary advantage in this kind of scheme. Generally, bad management of casinos have a constant tx fee posted on their website. Most likely, they did not even bother to update their tx fee and just made it at a constant price (which is around $5+) for their convenience and advantage.

To avoid this kind of issue, it is highly recommended that you play on a reputable gambling website. New gambling websites that are less than a year are prone to his kind of management scheme.

This is an interesting concept- play and pay later casinos? I really doubt that casinos would implement this kind of idea unless they have your card details where they could charge you with payment if you failed to pay them at a certain date.

If this kind of option would be implemented, lots of gamblers would try to circumvent this option by creating multiple accounts with fake IDs  and bank information. This can also lead to nightmares of potential conflicts and problems in both sides.

Though this kind of idea may seem interesting, I really doubt that gambling companies would implement this unless you are an avid spender and this was a privileged granted to a loyal gambler.

As a rule of thumb, if you are risking a relatively huge amount of money in gambling, always aim for reputable casinos in order to have some security for your payments. With hundreds of new online casinos nowadays, it is very easy to create an online casino that seemingly looks genuine but is actually a scam.

Have you asked your friend about the name of such gambling website that refused to accept his withdrawals? If yes, kindly share it in this forum for everyone's awareness so that they can avoid it at all costs.


Generally, gambling websites are created in order to simulate the real face-to-face casinos at the convenience of your home. With the pandemic happening, almost every business model had to shift and create an online atmosphere in order to cater to their clients.

Unfortunately, creating an online casino and offering dubious bonuses are easy to do. That is why, lots of people are getting scammed from this kind of scheme. In conclusion, if you are planning to gamble, always aim for reputable casinos for your security.
