Do tiktok and insta allow gambling related stuff? Or at least intentional promotions anw. I know twitch and YouTube don't allow it (not anymore from what I know at least). If it's not allowed then there's really no point for the list, especially if you consider how most of them probably are centered with sports itself, and not much about gambling really.

Well it also doesn't really help how gambling games itself are simple in nature. Even famous charity poker tournaments of famous streamers are only done every now and then due to that.
1102  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: would you play more on casino when your country plans to ban BTC? on: June 06, 2023, 10:25:49 PM
Wouldn't play, but that doesn't mean I'd pull out my coins though. I'd let them sit in my wallet, or maybe use them for some other stuff, ones that won't let the government connect the account to me. I'd never withdraw though, I'd just think of it as hodling, which I usually do. I can also access it via other countries if needed.

I'd simply play in regular casinos tbf if I wanted to gamble, I only stayed with a crypto casino in the first place because it was the first type of casino that I played in, so I just stayed.
1103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: European Sex Championship 😳, Will you Bet? on: June 06, 2023, 01:51:46 PM
Sweden has declared sex as a sport, and is set to launch its first tournament tagged "European sex Championship" on the 8th day of June, 2023, this means it's about 4 days left until the tournament begin?

We all can read the details on - https://m.timesofindia.com/life-style/relationships/love-sex/in-sweden-sex-is-now-a-sport-first-european-sex-championship-to-be-held-soon/amp_articleshow/100720445.cms

You as a gambler..
1. What do you make of this?, is sex truly a sport and is it supposed to be carried out openly?
2. If casinos pick this up and make provisions available to users to bet on this supposed European sex Championship, would you bet?

Lets have some serious and healthy discussion here..
Okay... This was sent as an image to me by one of my friends, I honestly thought of it as a joke but then I see this and I'm like what? I'm actually rather curious as to what the mentality and reasoning behind this is, like how was it even brought up? or even thought of?

I'd say that breathing is going to be a more likely sport than sex really. It being done openly can be a matter of discussion, well a lot more than it being applicable as a sport, that I'm sure of. And I hardly doubt I'd ever bet on this even if it becomes official (I hope not, don't make me lose hope in humanity).

Additionally, since OP's link was dead (linked me to some kind of relationship advice thing), I decided to look it up and it turns out it wasn't approved after all (whew, hope for humanity restored)?
1104  Economy / Gambling / Re: lucky block casino locked my account for no reason demanding kyc funds lost on: June 06, 2023, 04:56:48 AM
Anyways, they are demanding kyc and I refuse so they will close my account
Uhm, am I dumb or this sentence already warrants them being right and you being wrong? This is on the assumption that KYC is a rule on their casino, which usually is, and that they'd have no reason to ask for it if they didn't have in in their ToS in the first place. Registering in a casino means agreeing to their ToS, which means of they say they can ask for KYC anytime, they mean it. And with the same logic, they can lock your account at any possible time.

Never heard of the casino before, but I honestly don't think your case OP can serve it's purpose since from where I stand, you declining to do KYC is wrong in the first place.

This again stands on the premise that the casino can and will ask for it according to their ToS though. If not, then yea 100% avoid it.
1105  Economy / Gambling / Re: Top 5 Advantages of Bitcoin Casinos vs. Traditional Casinos on: June 06, 2023, 12:21:23 AM
Sooo, this is how good Bitcoin is really and not about casinos themselves? Also don't casinos just employ the same providers? The only difference really is the method of payment, in this case crypto vs fiat. Odds? As I've said providers are still the same so only local games made by the casinos could possibly be transparent.

Security? If crypto casinos use a centralized wallet to store your coins it's all the same. Especially if you consider how most casinos are actually centralized.
1106  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will China takeover as the leader in blockchain and start the new bull market? on: June 05, 2023, 10:57:51 PM
I hardly doubt it. Blockchain in of itself isn't really limited to crypto, so them starting development about it wouldn't really bring any big changes imo (though some waves may be created but that's about it). Plus, wasn't there already talks about China doing blockchain research a few years back already? It being said again once more doesn't mean anything at this point imo. China opening up crypto again might bring some changes but it should be temporary impacts. Though it still remains that China's main identity is of surveillance, so I hardly doubt "decentralization" itself would grow from there.

As for them being the lead since America's being, well, America, I doubt it. In the first place, I don't think there's any need to tie developments to a country? It is cryptocurrency after all.
1107  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: June 05, 2023, 10:37:07 PM
~
No it's not automatically called as a scam but this act is only normal. A company can truly change their terms as much as they can even without notifying their users but some casinos already give a warning about it so other users are also aware of that possibility but there might be some casinos who don't do that. This why some users are angry about them in case they can get affected by the change.

The solution is just stop playing there and make it a habit to check their terms next time to see if they have a rule about changing terms automatically. We don't usually take a copy of the TOS because it's a wall of text but maybe we will now do it, only to have an evidence in case the issue occurred later on.
For real? I mean if the ToS has a line in it then I guess it's reasonable for them to just update it without informing their users (or asking for their agreement again whenever they change it) but isn't "updating" their users about changes something required for businesses to have? It is something like a contract between the user and the website/casino after all, albeit an online one. I don't have one so I don't really know about it though.

As for those who use it, well, the moment they used it they were pushed out of "legal" businesses in my mind though.
1108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you use a VPN on a casino, even if it is not allowed in their ToS? on: June 05, 2023, 01:08:25 AM
By the way, is a VPN always demonstrable? Would it also be possible to use a VPN without a gambling site finding out? For example, I know at Cyberghost that you can buy your own IP address, so that means that you are the only one who can use an IP address and that it has not been used by anyone else from Cyberghost's customer base. But a VPN is of course in a certain range, so it is suspicious and some sites will do anything to avoid having to pay.

If the IP is fixed, then the papers one is supposed to provide to the casino through the KYC process may need to match those issued in the location, I think?
For example, I could be a citizen from Australia living in Australia but for some reason wanted to access to a casino in disguise of me living in Europe. If the casino staff does not allow VPN or dynamic IP addresses and grow suspect of me, then they may not only request for identity documents but also for further proof of residence or bank statements.
Yup. It's pretty easy to identify where the IP location is (and VPNs usually bade your connections after all to where you want to connect from) so it's pretty easy to match. Even outside of that, comparing IPs used can be a flag as well if done so.

Even if it was Dynamic IP (which is what ISPs usually give out) it's still tied to a country. Who knows, there might also be some system that stores the og ip registration and if it was changed, compares then if country registered is different, flags the account (or maybe the IP itself).
1109  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Failed DCA Strategy When Buying Bitcoin on: June 04, 2023, 10:01:40 PM
The owner of this address bought a million dollars worth of Bitcoin every day from August 11, 2021 to January 1, 2023.

https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/bc1qw0pswznckx7s6tjmd2f5hrx4q6kc5nyrdxku50
Received:   17,536.2628 BTC (517 ins)   first: 2021-07-25   last: 2022-12-28
Sent:   17,536.2628 BTC (517 outs)   first: 2023-01-01   last: 2023-03-05
Profit from price change:   -239,395,601.9 USD

Approximately $460 million was spent buying Bitcoin, resulting in a loss of over $239 million. Perhaps this investor did not know that the DCA strategy is better to use for a longer period, or perhaps he found a more profitable investment.
Ehh Idk, man DCA'd for 1 1/2 year, I don't think he'd be dumb enough to sell it all at once at a loss that big. He probably separated it into different wallets or something similar to that, or maybe just a new strategy he's trying out. Definitely don't think he sold it though. Plus with the amount of money he has, I don't think a financial advisor would be that hard to get and they should know about the cycles of the Bitcoin market, even if it was simply basing it off of history.

That, or some kind of emergency took place that needed this amount of money but what could possibly need that much?
1110  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your personal debt reduction method aside the debt snowball method? on: June 04, 2023, 11:44:02 AM
For those who have gotten out of debt more quickly, did you use the debt snowball method or another personal debt payment strategy that worked for you over the years?
I didn't use any method (or maybe I did, I just don't really know the name), but I just tended to avoid incurring any debts as much as possible when I'm under one. Of the ones I'm in, I try to pay the one with the biggest interest rate first then slowly whittle it down from there. I never try to reduce the payments I pull out from my wages, It's always the same regardless of how many debts I have so that I can pay it a lot quicker, making me pay less in the long run. I frown upon trying to take debts under me, regardless of how beneficial they can be for me for now. It just doesn't sit well with me imo. Well things might change in the long run depending on how much I learn more about stuff like this, but for now? Big no no.
1111  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to Know the Next PEPE on: June 03, 2023, 11:54:44 PM
In 2021 i wrote an article on medium and created a YT tutorial on how to spot a memecoin project that will become something.
From that teaching, here are the two key factors to look out for.

1. Community:

 It is community that gives speculative value to memecoin. So, the bigger and the cult-like a community is the better. It shows alot of the community will buy and create hype for the project.

2. Strategic Partnerships:

How is associated with the memecoin? If it's a notable influencer like Elon Musk, it'll moon.

Therefore in researching the next memecoin project to degen in, these factors should be your priority.

What other factors do you think influence memecoin projects?
To be fair, you actually don't. A lot of the boomed meme coins were artificially inflated, possibly together with some whales or a group taking action and trying to sway the market. At least, initially anyway. The wave that followed was simply because of people's FOMO and by then, the group that started it would basically profit no matter what. A community doesn't necessarily have one of those people, who bootstart the process. Having a big community (not too big) can help though in someone trying to identify if they should do something like that again or not.

Though without any future telling abilities, if you were to decide to invest in a meme coin, look at it's popularity, simple as that. The amount of articles, clicks attention, and whatnot. A meme coin booming would naturally make the news across all platforms since, well, it's a memecoin. That boomed.
1112  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should I Keep Buying Bitcoin Alone if I Have Limited Resources? on: June 03, 2023, 04:23:06 PM
Wouldn't they have something more to say to people than, "just buy BTC?".  What would they tell people should be the criteria for their investments?  What coins do you think these early crypto investors are investing in currently as a compliment to BTC & ETH, that they believe will help newer investors meet their present day goals?     
Well the question is related to BTC, such as "Should they buy BTC" after all, so I reckon the answer of just buy it is actually more than enough of an answer. After all, considering the positions of early investors, I don't think they've made a loss if they've continued hodling till now. Criteria for choosing another "Bitcoin" though? Kinda hard to give since it's been a decade and Bitcoin's still the king. The rest of the coins that were released are either shitcoins, or Bitcoin but with caveats (as well as its own advantages, but caveats still are above it imo). If it was just choosing another coin, well that depends now on how well us as investors can actually understand what they want to do and what their plans are.

I believe helping new investors achieve what they want is close to nill, at least in the short term. A lot of money is lost in the process of learning to invest, and I highly doubt they'd stay after losing a few thousands of bucks. If they stay though, that just means they're prepared to lose more, not necessarily achieving their goals immediately.
1113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Committed Suicide After Losing School fees, And That Of Friend To Betting.. on: June 03, 2023, 03:29:14 PM
We are in the 21st century, until when before people realize that suicide does not put an end to problem, but rather create more for those living??
Well it puts an end to his problem, and not to sound cold or anything, but the dead don't particularly give a damn about the living. Dumb decision-making results in dumb results sadly enough. While I do pity the family, I don't think I have any for the kid himself. The result was caused by his own greed, not even hesitating in trying to include his friend in the case. He couldn't, or rather didn't dare face the consequences of his own actions.

While I think 22 is still young, it's at that age when you start thinking for yourself, and responsibilities and whatnot should slowly be placed on your shoulders, or at least, the significance of it. And considering all things, with how his parents seem to be quite kind, I doubt a scolding from them would be the end of the world, but hey, as I said, he's 22, pretty young.
1114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Gaming Stats and other Data on: June 03, 2023, 05:20:40 AM
How do you check Gaming Statistics on a crypto gaming project?

Mostly interested in:
Average monthly users
Yearly / Monthly revenue
weekly / monthly growth
rate of adoption

I remember seeing these figures and more for Axie Infinity when Axie was the number 1 P2E game in the crypto space, so now that we are at the bottom
I need this info to see if I could invest in the newer gaming projects such as:
~
Most (if not all) of the stats you need/want are actually generated/summarized by the community themselves via (afaik) API's released by the devs or something similar to that. This should be the case for monthly users or stuff related to that. For the game's specific coin usage, adoption, growth, etc., I believe sites where the coin of the game is registered such as Coingecko or coinmarketcap should be enough as sources. Just, gotta stretch some of that muscle to summarize it all. If they were relatively new though then their coin might not even be registered at all, so you just have to wait for those instances.

If you're THAT lazy, then hire someone who knows how to use the chatgpt plugins so the AI itself can access live public data, and return to you a summarized version of it.
1115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: $90,000 all in bet on: June 02, 2023, 11:39:46 PM
UPDATE: A MISSED PENALTY AND A LOSS. BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD.
Hey, at least it was a thrill... I hope. Well, it is money that was earned from gambling so ehhh, I'd consider nothing was lost really. Turning $4k into $90k is quite a feat though, seeing as you bet all in in one match I'm rather curious if you did the same from the initial to 90k, or just slowly built it up and decided to go yolo for once after all that careful betting (which can be rather boring). Don't lose hope though! I reckon you aren't though, since the vibe of the update seems like you're still gonna come back to gambling lmao. Good luck to OP again~

I think that you have made a big mistake here...you could have easily taken a break and done something good with the money instead of putting it all on a losing gamble.
Ehh his money his rules. Ofc if this was money deposited, I wouldn't be here rambling about this. BUT, it was money won, technically nothing was originally his(except for the initial $4k).
1116  Economy / Speculation / Re: What are your bitcoin May/June price analysis? on: June 02, 2023, 01:57:25 PM
Ehh, I don't really think we'd be getting anything big for the next 1-2 months. At most, we'd probably go to $30k then just go the usual steady stuff that we have right now, maybe dipping back to 28, 29k every now and then. At least just based on any significant news that I know of, there's nothing that particularly concerns the crypto market, or nothing that would affect it on a big scale. Might be more active in maybe in the latter end of the year? Hopefully not in a negative way.
1117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you use a VPN on a casino, even if it is not allowed in their ToS? on: June 02, 2023, 12:21:04 AM
I know this is a bit controversial, but some casinos are looking the other way... when people are using VPNs. I know it might be legal in some instances, but you are still taking a risk by using it.

Online gambling is legal in my country, but sometimes I have to travel to a country where it is illegal. I then use a VPN to be able to access the site. This is one of the reasons why some casinos allow people to use VPNs..... but you are still taking a huge risk.

Now, the question is.... Will you still use a VPN, if it is not allowed by the ToS on the site. What will you do if they "block" your account and take your balance?
Uhm no? Why would I force myself to play when there's other possible options I can play on? If there wasn't, well as much as I say gambling is for enjoyment it does involve money so nah, I'm fine with not playing. If it were for free though, like what I do to access some specific beta test of some games, then hell yea I'd do it.

Imo it isn't really controversial, it's just kind ass how some casinos change their ToS to suddenly rejecting VPN, or somehow flagging you for multi accounting, which can happen due to how VPN works afaik when in the first place THEY should know how VPN works. Well that is if VPN is allowed in the first place. If it wasn't, then yea I really don't think I would or even risk it.
1118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to draw the attention of the market if you're a good project?? on: June 01, 2023, 02:44:36 PM
We're proudly to announce that we're officially looking for early contributors to our project.

We've spent almost a year just to design the super economic ecosystem of FireDAO. And now it's finally floating to the surface and ready to show the world what is FireDAO.

As a new project, we're sincerely looking for advice from Bitcointalk Forum community. What is the key of point that you're looking in a project and let us know how to improve better as well.

Please read more information about our project in the link below. Looking forward for more interaction here.  Wink
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5441307.msg62316116#msg62316116
Well... What you're doing is a good start for one. Asking for advice from your users (or even strangers really) isn't really going to hurt you, you just got to filter out proper advice from, well, dumb ones. It at least opens up your project as community friendly and pretty open as well. Other than that, well, it should depend on what your project aims to actually be since improvements will come from understanding what it wants, and where it is right now.

Priority for now might be to complete your team first then do some internal review. I highly doubt investors would come if the team itself isn't exactly developed/complete, regardless of how minor some of the other roles could possibly be.
1119  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do we just invest in any altcoin? on: June 01, 2023, 06:43:59 AM
Now my question is, do we just invest an altcoin to take advantage of the opportunity to make some x in return?
Because I know altcoin rarely survive the dip maybe after bull run.

I mean, you can. Most altcoins are short lived anyway, you're better off trying to profit off of them at a say a month or two max, anything longer would just give diminishing returns, well at least for most coins, but hey if they really were good, it wouldn't be too late to invest on it again after at least guaranteeing that you've profited.

I definitely would avoid investing in altcoins for the long term though. I'd only ever know if it was a good investment for one in the future, and judging by the number of new altcoins, I wouldn't really take my chances.
1120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 5 Behavioural signs that suggest you are Addicted to Gambling on: May 31, 2023, 10:55:53 PM
As gambling addiction can be a challenging issue that can have a very harmful impact on an individual's life. it is always recommended to find a professional helpb rather struggling with it. Do you agree with those behaviours? If not then you can suggest some, that can be added to this topic.
It's actually pretty easy to notice if someone's going past the limits or is being addicted, some simple stuff that you'd often do as a kid, like asking nonchalantly for money, being impulsive, lying, stuff like that. It's like your attitude turns into a brat once a certain activity, in this case gambling comes up. I basically told myself when making decisions to grow up so as to avoid doing dumb stuff.

The simple idea of only depositing once per session, with a fixed amount every time should fix most of the problems imo. It's my method at least of putting in money I'd use to gamble anw.
