Every casino gambling most have KYC so anyone who is participating in gambling platform I think that it should have it in mind that kyc is necessary but partaking in any gambling platform you have to verify your account with your document so that you will not be penalised or hold because of none proper verification of kyc. Every casino platforms needed documentation because of chance of winning huge amount money and also making your fund's to be safe in the platform.
There are some gamblers who often do not give much importance to KYC. Although KYC is mandatory on some platforms, gamblers are gambling without KYC. Such gamblers gamble at extreme risk. If ever they win big in gambling they can get into big trouble. If the gambling company prevents him from withdrawing his money due to any defect in KYC, the gambler will be convicted. If it is also a license based gambling platform then he will not be able to fight legally. Before gambling, a gambler must choose a good casino or gambling platform and should complete KYC verification with valid documents.

As for me I think the parents owe the children nothing to explain to them as long as they never let the vacuum of their responsibilities in training the children remain void, when your children never have access to gambling or where they do such then you owe them no explanation, parents have their own part they play from their children way of upbringings, they must not engage doing things that we will not be aware of which may affect them in life the wrong way.
Parenting comes with a lot of work and educating the child on the danger of some action goes a long way to saving the child in the future when they are no longer with their parents, and it doesn't necessarily need that the child is exposed to it before you give them the awareness on the dangers available in the society and how to handle them.
I use my personal experience to check this thing, when I was young, my parents use to tell me real-life stories and sometimes we had both the good the bad and the ugly so those lessons thought us how to handle some in our real life.
Gambling lessons should be thought to young kids so that that knowledge will help to guide their actions when they grow up.

We need to safe ourselves from future challenges by avoiding our children get exposed to gambling right from onset, children are not yet responsible for their school fees payment, neither do they have other responsibilities attached to them to take care of which needs financial aid, their time is needed to be invested on their education and learn about other careers in life than getting too exposed to gambling at their early stage.
Children are not worthy for gambling. Children will develop their knowledge during this time when they will learn about various things. But if children are addicted to gambling during this period they will not develop as they need to their normal life. Parents have to be responsible enough towards a child otherwise parents cannot have a proper idea about whether the child is growing properly or not. Children may make mistakes during this period but parents should be careful. This period is very important for determining life goals for a children.
1123  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Having no money to invest in Bitcoin is even better on: June 26, 2023, 11:53:36 AM
I've studied most Bitcoin investors, those who have money to invest are the ones going around looking for someone to teach them how to invest, the first thing they want to learn is how to use the exchange to make purchases using Fiat on the exchange, they are always in hurry, they have no time.

Those who don't have money, have all the time to keep learning and reading stuff online about Bitcoin and the crypto space, they have no reason to be in any hurry and it seems they are the ones that avoid the unnecessary dramas in the crypto space because they took their time to learn first.

Do not walk away from Bitcoin investment because you don't have the money, it's even better not to have money because you will have the patience to learn more about everything, and when the money comes, you will be able to avoid many dramas.
actually those who have no money are the type of people that would do anything to find which way is better and best to earn money even small amount of earning .
while those who  have money mostly wanted to earn quicker , and this is why they fell mostly of wrong decisioning and harder to gather those much they are looking .

That is the truth. If you have a lot of money, you won't spend much time for learning. When you don't have money but you need money and then you will give your precious time also keep a close eye on how you will earn money from it. People who have a lot of money are always reluctant to take any decisions. Due to which the possibility of wrong decisions is very high. OP has given more priority to learning than money. Earning money is not difficult if you have proper education or knowledge.
1124  Economy / Economics / Re: Is poverty a lack of money? on: June 26, 2023, 11:31:34 AM
Many countries experience inflation because the amount of money is more or out of control while goods become scarce, as happened in a country that experienced uncontrolled inflation such as Zimbabwe where the price of basic necessities reached thousands of percent, this is because there is no supply of goods so even though we have a lot of money we cannot buy anything or the value of money is very low.
When there is no supply of a product, the demand for that product will increase drastically. In the language of economics, if the supply is less than the demand, there will naturally be a huge increase in the price of the product. Moreover, every country is under the grip of inflation as a result of Ukraine Russia war. Many countries have failed to regulate it. For the consequence of this even with more money, it has become difficult to meet the basic needs. If you think about it from that perspective,yes poverty is not only caused by lack of money.
1125  Economy / Economics / Re: How billionaires are really affecting the economy. on: June 26, 2023, 11:16:40 AM
There is a disparity between the rich and the poor in the world. But nowadays the position of the poor is so low compared to the rich that the poor are now hindered from leading a normal life. A rich person is getting richer and those who were poor are getting poorer. The artificial crisis caused by war has not affected the rich but the poor are fighting for their livelihood. Inflation is now a cut throat for every poor. I doubt how much a rich person is willing to sacrifice for any country? Nothing can be seen in any big donation without the help of the government. A few came forward, but most of the rich try to disappear. The rich continue to try to pile up their wealth by evading taxes where they should pay the most taxes.
1126  Economy / Economics / Re: What roles does the poor play in the Economy? on: June 26, 2023, 10:57:05 AM
The fact is poor people are needed by rich people. and the rich will even live in trouble without the presence of the poor in this world. because there are rich people because there are poor people.

Even poor people are very meritorious behind every company development of rich people and the progress of a country's development. Because they are willing to work for a small salary. They work harder but for less money. So on the one hand poor people have very important services.
Simply we can say that if there were no poor people there would be no way to become rich. As we know that light is worthless without darkness. If there were no poor people, the word development would not even be uttered. The status of the rich can be understood because there are poor. If poor people stop their work for a day it will be very easy to understand the importance of poor people. Poor people are working today so that the rich can enjoy luxuries. The poor are working to produce goods and various works the rich are getting advantages by their work. And the biggest thing is that the rich are able to keep their positions because the appearance of the poor.

USA VS ZIM
USA won the toss and elected to bowl. Zimbabwe put in to bat and collected 13 runs without losing any wicket in 6 overs. Innocent Kaia scored 7 runs off 16 balls, Joylord Gumbie scored six runs off 20 balls. Zimbabwe run rate is very low. USA bowled very well.

Zimbabwe players are playing very well in today's match as in previous matches. USA won the toss and decided to field. Zimbabwe collected 282 runs in 40 overs. They collected average 7 runs in each over. Sean Williams' batting impressed me today. He is unbeaten with 138 runs off just 79 balls. Williams and Sikandar Raja are batting now. If these two batsmen don't pick up the wickets of USA quickly then I guess Zimbabwe will be able to collect like 380 today. The way Zimbabwe has been performing in recent times is very commendable.
Zimbabwe is going to present a big innings in today's match. Sean Williams' brilliant batting will take him close to a double century. With only 5 overs to go if Sean Williams can bat most of the delivery then he has a chance of scoring a double century. Everyone in the top order performed well in this team.  Zimbabwe is going to make the match certain win. They are still unbeaten in this session. Although West Indies are considered better in the group, they are now at number 3 in the points table. If Zimbabwe can give such a performance in the main event of the World Cup, they will definitely have a chance to be promoted to a good position.
1128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a steady income haven on: June 25, 2023, 04:42:06 AM
Gambling isn’t sure money. We have often heard people saying, “The house always wins”, so yes, only the casino owner gets profit by the gambling. You can try gambling as a secondary source of income, but shouldn’t completely rely on it. As gambling is a game of chance and luck, not skill, for this reason, the possibility of getting loss is very high compared to the possibility of getting profit. If you have a family to look after, or tons of regular bills to pay, then yes apart from gambling you also need to do some serious jobs.
Agreed, it is completely foolish to think any work should be funded based on gambling. Those who have to support their families should never depend on gambling. Gambling normally won't give anything when someone need it. Gambling is also paying more when someone don't deserve it. There is no little assurance or certainty in gambling. So it is better to use it only for entertainment. In my opinion a gambler should used his gambling money separately. Whoever loses money will not have to face any problem. It would be better if someone keep a separate budget for gabbling activities.
1129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: June 25, 2023, 04:24:06 AM
The match between West Indies and Zimbabwe saw a lot of excitement towards the end of the game. West Indies cricket team played well at the beginning of the game in the second innings, but failed to give a good finish towards the end of the game.
While Zimbabwean side got more favorite and almost confirmed to qualify. Credit of this victory goes to qalander ka sikander for sunsational bowling and batting..
Zimbabwe team is consistently performing in this ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifiers 2023. They have won 3 out of 3 matches to almost certain a place in Super Six. No one has any doubts now that they have turned in cricket brilliantly. Reliable performances from a few players have helped the team to improve tremendously. One of them is Sikandar Raza. But surely nothing good can be done by one player for the betterment of the team. Along with Sikandar Raja, few other batsmen also deserve praise who have been performing well in recent times. Craig Ervine and Sean Williams are not to be underestimated. Both of them also scored centuries in the first match. Joylord Gumbie's performance is also good. Above all their top order is quite strong.
1130  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Crypto another form of gambling? on: June 25, 2023, 04:07:58 AM
Now, do you agree that crypto should be seen as a form of gambling? And if this eventually comes through, what should we expect as the constraints it might still bring to the crypto space?

I don't agree with that because crypto isn't a form of gambling, and comparing it into gambling isn't a fair thing. Crypto-currencies are  type of currencies which can go up or down in value and they can be used to purchase goods, while gambling is so different from that concept because in gambling you either win or lose, and when you lose you have no way to recover the lost money. In the cryptos one can invest the money and the returns can be very good if the currency gets higher in value. In gambling we place bets and if they go wrong we lose everything. Crypto-currencies can have many uses while gambling is just for entertainment and earning some extra money if you are lucky. It's totally unfair to compare those two as a single thing.
Obviously there are spread differences between crypto and gambling. Although the purpose of both the users is similar but there are completely different based on the characteristics. Many critics sometimes compare crypto to gambling because of its rapid rise and fall, but that has nothing to do with reality. An investor won't be completely bankrupt if an investment in crypto loses its value, but if a gambling bet is lost, it will be lost forever. Another big advantage in crypto is that there is a chance of recovery after the investment goes down which is not possible in gambling.
1131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When is the right time to buy bitcoin before the halving? on: June 25, 2023, 03:45:12 AM
As of June 22, bitcoin finally managed to be at > $ 30,000 [1], no one knows whether this is just a trick from the whales who want to trap us so that we think this is the right time to buy bitcoin. With reason fear of that happening, i tried to dig into the bitcoin price history data at CMC, after i got the data, i found that there was some missing data there.
I would say this weeks rice is actually based on the hype from the numerous institutions applying or go into bitcoin  ETFs and also the news about some countries creating their own exchanges. But this shouldn’t be a thing of worry because this and so much hype is definitely going to suffice before the the halving. But based on bitcoin past history’s, this current situations are just creating FOMO. After the hype us died down bitcoin will go back to normal.
But my advice is do not wait until any moment or anticipate any lows, just buy when you have funds for it and probably use the DCA method when doing so.
Many believe that it is not very appropriate to invest in Bitcoin based on a specific time event. Because Bitcoin halving next year may happen or not, it cannot be said with certainty. Blue whales are always trying to get the most advantages from the market. A slight change in the price of Bitcoin in recent times can create a kind of FOMO among investors. But investing in Bitcoin is only an effective strategy if an investor has a long-term plan. It is impossible to know when Bitcoin will rise or fall. What is possible is to invest in bitcoins a certain amount of money using DCA. Only those who try to use this strategy can benefit from Bitcoin for the long term purpose.
1132  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you find it offensive to be referred to as an addicted gambler? on: June 24, 2023, 07:36:49 PM

But telling someone to their face or worse, to someone else, that one is an addict, as if it were diagnosed fact, can be wrong and very harming to one's reputation.

Therefore, having reputation is not visible for an addict, that is why giving them help is mostly by initially out of their will , that means the third party has to act for them by taking the decision to help him out of it.
If you can get an addicted gambler out of his addiction, it can be certainly a good work. However, I have seen several gamblers who were addicted gamblers but presented themselves as if they were not gambling. Once when a person advised one of addicted gamblers about his gambling addiction, he became angry with him and harassed him in various ways. So it is good to give advice but It is better to do whatever the situation dictates.
1133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: increased Youtube Gambling ads? on: June 24, 2023, 07:25:50 PM


It can also depends on the browser you use and also on the addons you may have installed on that browser.
Lately, I have seen people, friends of mine rather using dedicated apps to watch videos on Youtube without ads interrupting their videos, perhaps you are also interested on that. There is Free Youtube and Newpipe, for example, though, I think that if the gambling nature of the advertisements is the problem, it would be enough just to switch off your preferences, as I showed you earlier.
Actually it's quite easy to avoid gambling ads on YouTube by subscribing to YouTube premium, but the problem here is that we have to pay to avoid gambling ads and there are other problems like gambling ads not only appearing on YouTube but also on Google when searching for something we want to find.
I read from several people that there are lots of free ways to avoid gambling ads by means of special applications or cryptic browser methods.
There are a lot of advertisements on YouTube these days. Which are annoying to most users. I've heard several software that prevents YouTube add-ons from auto-playing. But I don't know how effective these software will be. Because it is normal that free software will not work properly. If the premier software can be used then such ads can be prevented from being seen. Although it is simple, most of the users can't prevent from seeing such ads, maybe many people still don't know about it.
1134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: June 24, 2023, 07:08:37 PM
In the other match Nepal played against Netherlands. After winning the toss Netherlands have won the toss and decided to bowl. Nepal could've collected atleast 200+ runs. The performance isn't upto the mark and ended the innings for 167 runs. Netherlands chased the target with ease reaching the target in 28 overs losing 3 wickets.
Nepal has won only one match out of 4 matches. We know that the Nepal team is not strong. They are not experienced. Even then I didn't think it would perform so badly. The matches are being played on batting-friendly pitches. High scores are possible if the batsmen are able to bat responsibly in every match. On such a pitch, Nepal gave the target only 168 runs. It wasn't enough to win. The Netherlands reached the target in just 27 overs. And they lost only three wickets. The performance of Nepalese players was very poor. They need to be more confident. The team must maintain the stability of performance in the upcoming Asia Cup.
I had good confident about the Nepal team but the performance of some matches in these World Cup Qualifiers has changed this thought. Winning just one out of four matches confirms that they are yet to develop good batting and bowling skills. Last match they lost against Netherlands which is a big defeat for the Nepal team. Most of the viewers lost their reliance on the team. But one thing is certainly clear that there is a big difference between playing in small and big tournaments. Although the Nepal team has some good innings records in the past history they could not reflect that in the World Cup Qualifiers.
1135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you find it offensive to be referred to as an addicted gambler? on: June 23, 2023, 04:18:50 PM
As a gambler, will you find it offensive if you are referred to as a gambling addict? will you easily accept it or try to give excuses like some other people do, saying that they are not addicted to gambling when the signs are clearly there. Do you think identifying as an addicted gambler will make people stereotype you. The answer is different for every gambler here.
If someone calls me an addicted gambler, I will definitely protest because I am not an addicted gambler. Moreover, gambling is looked down upon in many societies. To ask such a question is a direct insult. If I were an addicted gambler I would never reacted on this issue. But since I'm not, to say I'm an addicted gambler means I can't control myself, I am wasting a lot of money etc. associated with an addicted gambler which is difficult for any responsible gambler to accept the word. Moreover, an addicted gambler does not want to be known as an addicted.
1136  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between futures trading and gambling on: June 23, 2023, 04:09:34 PM
There are many gamblers that can gamble just to have some fun and make money in the process and there are some that focus on gambling only to make money so I would like to ask such people a question.

would you prefer to gamble in a casino and make some money or learn about futures trading and make some money?

Which one do you actually find to be more easier and I believe that futures trading is also capable of giving someone life-changing money but which one do you believe is less risky than the other?
Actually both are risky. If you bet on a gambling platform, you won't get anything if you loses. The risk of losing your money is 100%. Futures trading, on the other hand, can instantly increase your money and drain it completely. The highest risk exists in both of the two platform. Since the two fields are different, the two should not be considered in the same dimension. We know there is a big difference between trading and gambling. As such it will depend on a user which one he feels comfortable. I like both but gambling is preferable to me. Moreover, there are wins and losses in gambling but it is comparatively much easier than futures trading.
1137  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Top 40 Twitch accounts for gambling advertising on: June 23, 2023, 03:57:01 PM
Influencers have taken over the advertisement job from the companies because those casinos knows that these influencers have followers who easily believe what they say and dances to their tunes. As long as it is gambling,I don't think that most of these influencers do gamble the way that they put it to their followers. As a follower,if you get yourself carried away by these influencers and believe in their words,you might end up in great loss,because gambling is a game of luck and how can you know your lucky day. Enjoy the fun I'm gambling by paying for your entertainment and don't think that any entertainment is free.
Gambling usually depends on luck. So gambling based on the words of an influencer is completely foolish. But there are some gamblers who follow those influencers. They do not want to accept the reality even after understanding it. An influencer works for money on a common gambling platform. When he is paid, he discusses the positive aspects of the site. Otherwise he would never do it. No one will be influenced if they know the real fact of the influencers contributions. Naturally your knowledge and strategy can help increase your winning ratio but it is uncertain.
1138  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Still Gamble? on: June 23, 2023, 03:40:09 PM
Why are you being so dramatic? Gambling is a choice and no one is forcing an individual to gamble! If children get into this business it is obvious that their parents would react to this news negatively. As they are the ones who would be paying for his/her activities. I am not sure what made you think that everyone here on this board is always gambling. There are few here who would actually gamble and there is a big lot who are into sports betting. Luck-based games in gambling are losing their customer base. That is the reason most casinos on this forum are now adding sports betting.

Any business benefits from diversification. Betting on sports or on any event (including betting) is quite a fascinating activity. Of course, a person who is well versed in a particular sport can succeed here. Luck plays a role - but you also need knowledge. A passion for betting - a reasonable one - can serve as a certain incentive for a person to develop

Having the knowledge and information of the sports is helpful in placing a bet on a particular team but still that does not graunted that the team will won and you will win the money through betting on that team.

Why people still gamble is that they don't have to do anything hard and only bet on a team , if their choice is right the team which they bet on wins, it's easy money for them.
On the one hand enjoying the game and on the other hand the opportunity to earn money by winning there is the main attraction in betting. Because it is a very simple way through which a gambler can get both pleasure and money.

When a favorite team is playing, some gamblers place bets to make the game more enjoyable. I have seen some gamblers who do sports betting don't enjoy their favorite sport if they can't bet on it. They think no bet no enjoy.
1139  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: June 23, 2023, 03:18:27 PM
Most times I don't have to blame the casinos because most gamblers who go for this bonuses don't even have the patience to read the terms and conditions before going for it because if they do, then they would have understood  that it wasn't going to be an easy task.
Nevertheless, I would prefer that the casinos make this terms very fair and not extremely against  the player.
We can't blame the casino but must check what we've done to know what happened. If a gambler wants to get a bonus from an affiliate, they really have to be able to convince people that the casino is good and can be a place to gamble. However, people think that sharing affiliate links can bring them a lot of bonuses but that's not the case. They can get a lot of bonuses if people who join under them use big money to gamble so the bonus will also be big. But if they don't, they won't get a big bonus or even get anything.
Exactly, if someone wants to do affiliate marketing then he must keep his referrals active by confuting gambling activities. As much as the gambler gamble more the referral bonus will be increased accordingly. Some people refer many but the referrals are never active and with such referrals there will be no chance of making any income on the gambling platform. Also a simple matter is if the gambling platform can't make any profit from you then on what basis will they pay you? Those who can manage the affiliate market properly will have huge income opportunities.
1140  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Still Gamble? on: June 21, 2023, 06:38:38 AM
People are saying that gambling is not good so nobody should involved themselves in it. Fathers/Mothers (parents) are shouting to their sons and sometimes beating them all because of gambling. If you are a gambler, the society sees you as a bad boy or person or a waste person in the family. Parents would be saying "look at your age mates, they are going to school and become a successful persons in the society, you are here playing gambling". They would even say, gamblers steal and thieves.
And really when you look at some of those boys they play Draft game morning till evening. Upon all these allegations against gambling. People are still Gambling. WHY? Is There Any Mystery Behind?
If you consider gambling only for immature boys then it would be wrong. Because not everyone brings a motive to the gambling platform. But we know one thing that the main interest in gambling is money but those who spend all their time in gambling only to earn money are only considered addicted gamblers. There are many gamblers who think it as entertainment. If you focus on entertainment then the range will increase to a great extent. If a gambler can practice responsible gambling and acquire good knowledge about gambling then he must not consider gambling only from negative aspects. One should never blame others for one's irresponsibility.
