In this forum there are several casino scams that we already know about and all forum users know very well about this casino scam but the problem is you are talking about casino scam outside the forum so for resolution of casino scam outside the forum we can never do anything because they don't it's in forums and it's hard to find it if we don't try it in person.
So far, nothing has been able to stop casino fraud, especially outside your forum, so casino fraud has become a frightening specter for some gamblers, especially beginners.
The only way is always to provide understanding for those who don't really know about scam casinos outside the forums, maybe we will have more trouble because bad reviews are definitely removed by scam casinos.
The problem of casino scams has been around for a long time and I hope there are certain parties who can stop and narrow the circulation of casino scams.
That's why we don't know a casino out there that can cause us to get scammed because the casino has no threads or representatives in this forum. We have to be aware of this if we get a casino from outside this forum and we should not register immediately when we get it but look for more information about the casino. And scam casinos are sure to exist especially outside forums because many people spread their links on many sites to attract the attention of beginners or people still looking for a casino. Even though certain parties can stop and narrow the circulation of casino fraud, fraudulent casinos are still difficult to eradicate because it depends on how people can find a good casino.

A casino that is outside the forum, you always have to be very careful, there are many, I have seen lists of casinos that are quite impressive, and they have strange names, but we have to be very careful because most of them can be or turn out to be scams, and it is not nice to lose our money like this, when we are thinking about looking for new casinos, the risk is strong, I prefer to use a reliable and old casino here in the forum than a new casino that is not in the forum or has its own thread Ann, that's already too risky for me.

The Bitcointalk forum already has many trusted casinos operating for a long time and have their respective reputations, so we don't have to look for casinos from outside. And if later (I'm sure there will be many new casinos that will be launched on this forum) a new casino is launched on this forum, we can also find out more details about the casino by asking the casino representative so we can get clearer information. This will make it easier to see if the new casino is worth checking out or just leaving it. And usually, the new casinos launched here give a valid welcome bonus as they are trying to build their reputation in this forum.

The good thing about the forum is that is quite good at detecting issues and showing scams, while also ensuring that there is a fair discussion on the matter as opposed to a mere speculation, since everyone has the possibility of writing their views and showing evidence when it is available. Any respectable casino should take good note and be here promoting if they intend to become a reputable organisation.

in any gambling you must to experience loss he must also experience profit so when these things one of them happened it is you will know your stand of the kind of game you are playing with and sometimes when you lose a game it will make you to understand your fault your asses so the next that you play proper time to verify the game before playing the game that is how gambling works
Even you have verify the game is using provably fair, you're still not have 100% guarantee to win. Losing in gambling doesn't make you will able to win easily on the next time, it's only limited for few games like poker. If you gamble on slots game, you're not learn anything from your win or loss. In sports, you're also not learn anything, first you bet your team will win, but the result is lose. But in the next match you bet on your rival team, but the result your team are win.

Certainly, provably fair only means that it does "what is say on the label", so that you are not being tricked into thinking that you have 40% chance of winning while you are really getting a paltry 10% or the like. It also seems to work only on pure chance games, which I do not personally favour too much. But, anyway, always better that at least is fair gaming that not having anything to show for it.

Gambling can be played in a variety of ways. You see, would it class as work if you are not paid in money? Does it class as a purchase if you decide to pay exchanging something? My take is that it is as long as you put there something that has value, from your own time, reputation and even intangibles... or works of art or anything. Time is money as they say.
1184  Economy / Gambling / Re: Which are best stake alternatives on: April 28, 2023, 03:15:18 PM
Which are best stake alternatives
I search for good casinos with similar original games

CloudBet, Lucky Block, Bovada, BitStarz, JooCasino, LuckyTiger, LasAtlantis, Mirax Casino

Aside from Cloudbet, All these casino that you suggests is unknown here. Bovada has a region restrictions while BitStarz has a bad reputation here scamming user here last 2019. You can check Bitstarz reputation on this page https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=307265 to see their long history of scamming.

Stake is one of the biggest brand here in the forum in terms of crypto casino. Suggesting a bunch of mediocre to scammer casino to newbie is the worst idea you can think.

The scammy options is better not to even mention them. Posting contributes to search algos and that is something that should not help much future users of the system. But experiences of different people may be different, I mean, you can run a scam for a while but you probably cannot fool everyone forever and get away with it. There has to be something missing in the information.
1185  Economy / Gambling / Re: Enough to consider a casino scam? on: April 28, 2023, 03:12:54 PM
As op had stated submitted his KYC document and still the casino had not confirm it. He will need to wait for for more time for it to be confirmed than thinking that the casino is a scam. That is it the we can tell whether a casino is a scam or not. At least waiting for some time will be okay than thinking that they have taken all your money.
Well yes, that is very easy to say, but it is another thing to be inside with the problem, if OP needs to get the money quickly, he needs his case to be Attended to as Urgently as possible, otherwise something has to be done Urgent to be able to attend to you, I have been in those situations and the worst thing they can tell you is to wait and be patient, that kind of makes the person get Annoyed and get angry at the casino, and sometimes the Support agents are the ones who They are to blame for that,that's why the support in a casino the more humans than AI there are to serve, the better.


There has to be a reasonable response and reasonable conditions. It is difficult to tell precisely what is reasonable and what is not in the context of producing services, but there is a point in which you can clearly see that things are "unreasonable". A wait of 2 or 3 weeks in a KYC validation is not usually acceptable as a week to answer a query is not reasonable.

Russia has openly offered itself to the West since the collapse of the USSR, and with just a little more feeling for its interests,
which the West could then quite painlessly incorporate with its power its strategic interests in a broader sense - everything
could have been different.

Or you could escape your medieval mentality and understand that maybe, only maybe, the people in Ukraine may actually have something to say about the future of Ukraine and their own future and choose how they want to live and what do they choose to die for.

Alas, I am asking the impossible. You live too long under someone's foot and the only thing left in your brain is trying to choose the nicest looking shoe sole to get smashed in fashion.

Lol, someone talking about nations and states accusing someone of "medieval mentality"

Russia is isolated completely and they have failed this war no matter how it ends from now.Economically speaking and with the sanctions put to them they need at least 40 years in order to keep up with Western advanced technologies which they have no access anymore as they cannot import vital technological chips for their devices,this alone for me is devastating but the results of such move will be felt with the passing of a couple of years.It will be exactly then that Russian citizens themselves will not care anymore about their government and wide protests will go on,they will see how far behind they will be.They will be poorer and they will blame Putin them but it will be too late.

Thats racist...by "completely" you mean remaining 70% world that did NOT isolated them is worthless people?

where did I speak about nations and states? Get you head of your Karl Marx writings illustrated edition for kids and read: I always speak about people, and however they choose to organise themselves. Typically it will be in states, as that's how the world is today, but affiliation is a choice in any case.

But going back to something practical... it seems that Gazprom has also recruited and sent mercenaries to fight in Bhakmut and... guess what... the Wagnerites are not allowing them to retreat when Ukraine shells the shit out of them. The RF is starting to look like a very disorganised bunch of warlords competing... who knows when they will start killing each other.

Few days ago I posted that Russians complaining that Ukrainians is already on the left bank of Dnipro river ner to Kherson. Then it looked more like fake, but seems that's something is really going on here:
https://t.me/Donbas_Operativniy/36321

Found a cool site that is documenting every known piece of equipment that is destroyed, damaged, abandoned or captured with images of everything.

Great resource, I follow it since first months of war. Offcourse, it's not possible to get photos of every destroyed tank or armoured machine, but you can get general impression. No emotions, just facts

Russia wanted and still wants relatively little from Ukraine - a neutral non-bloc status and stop killing ethnic Russians in the Donbas, which it has been doing for the past eight years.
Do you still believe that ''genocide'' and neutral status of Ukraine is the reason of invasion.

There seems to be Ukrainian troops East of the Dnipro. Looks more of a preparation, not a full blown assault. It looks quite strategic to drive the assault so far from the largest concentration of RF troops and also so close to the borders with non-combatant countries.

Of course it's everybody else that's bad. Finland and Sweden don't invade other countries, but they're bad, Ukraine never invaded, but it's bad, Poland doesn't invade but it's bad, France is bad, the whole world is to blame just not Russians. The more I watch this war going, the more I hope this fucked up country finally bombs itself into oblivion.
If you consider some countries to be bad, then you are an ordinary Nazi, cultivating enmity and hatred here, projecting your internal phobias into the public Internet space. Russia wanted and still wants relatively little from Ukraine ....

Throw nazi here and there and at the same time "RF wants very little from Ukraine"... such a cynicism at this stage of the war is ridiculous. That is the true Nazi in you, imposing violently on others (from a safe distance of course, you are also a "chairborne soldier") just because the RF wants this and that...

And all covered in more lies... the RF wants nothing, it is Putin's court of psychos.

I think the main purpose of this ICC warrant was an attempt to disrupt Xi's visit to Moscow, and when this failed, everyone somehow quickly forgot about the warrant, as if it did not exist at all.
-cut-
Well that's some brain gymnastics right there. Why would it disrupt Xi's visit? Xi isn't really a price winning human rights activist either as they don't even recognize Dutch extradition treaty.
It sounds like you are just undermining the legitimacy of the warrant. And yeah, warrant exist, you would know this if you just looked it up, why do you think it's forgotten? Don't tell me, because he isn't arrested?
Nah, that would be a stupid answer.

https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/statement-prosecutor-karim-khan-kc-issuance-arrest-warrants-against-president-vladimir-putin
Russia has not ratified the Rome Statute, so for Russian citizens this warrant is a legally insignificant piece of paper. It happens, the USA, Ukraine, China and many other countries have not ratified the Rome Statute either. Moreover, according to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the incumbent president cannot be held criminally liable. And also in accordance with the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Internationally Protected Persons (Adopted by resolution 3166 (XXVIII) of the UN General Assembly of December 14, 1973), heads of state enjoy absolute immunity. It sounds like you are just undermining the legitimacy of this Convention. Grin

There must be thousands if not tens of thousands of "Khan" living in the UK, including, guess who? ... The current major of London, Sadiq Khan. I personally know a couple of "Khan" in my own country. It is a common name from certain region of Iran.

Khan, which is more popular as a surname, is a Turkish boy's name meaning "prince," so get ready to give your son the royal treatment. Khan is a shorter form of Khagan, and was originally a historic title given to military chiefs and rulers.

On the "useless piece of paper"... well, your argument is plainly stupid, including a deep lack of understanding of how international law works. Of course Putin will not get arrested while in Russia, China, etc... and of course your "constitution" can give him the right to but-fuck cows in public without any consequence. You do not seem to get the real problem here: Most of the government of Putin including himself are banned from international diplomacy in many countries that do accept this sentence.

And again, somehow Putin invades Ukraine, orders the massive kidnapping of children, flattens cities, kills civilians and military without any distinction, but for Branko all this is about the US "not being able to de-escalate" - meaning accepting the de-facto situation and white-washing the invasion current result.
...

By analysis of all of the credible information I can piece together, Ukraine made massive use of human shields and still does.

That is false information, obviously without any proof attached other than your xenophobic discourse. People leave in cities. The RF is shelling cities often with no strategic objective nor other reason than to create panic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_abductions_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

Quote
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia has forcibly transferred thousands of Ukrainian children to areas under its control, assigned them Russian citizenship, forcibly adopted them into Russian families, and created obstacles for their reunification with their parents and homeland.[3] Evidence of this has been collected during investigations conducted by several international organizations and groups, including the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, The International Criminal Court, Amnesty International and Missing Children Europe, and by journalists for media outlets such as The Observer and Al Jazeera.[4

Looks like a dystopia, something so difficult to believe, yet so real. And this calls from the ones calling "nazi" here and "nazi" there to anything that is not what they want to hear.

Is Al Jazeera a "Ziocon" organisation? Amnesty International? You are really running our of credibility, if a xenophobic discourse like yours had any ever.

Russians were smart enough to deescalate during Cuban crisis

they calculated there's no other way out of 31 trillion debt

And we could now go on your comment on the missiles crisis, in which somehow you notice how the former USSR (not Putin's RF by the way) decided to remove the missiles from CUba, but you fail to notice that it was in exchange for the US removing theirs from Turkiya.

As alwasy, one eye open, one eye close, one measure for you who you believe are your friends, one for anyone else.

Nice theory and maybe true for China and Taiwan but it seems they have calculated well the war in Ukraine too and Putin fell to this trap like a stupid fish.He made his army extremely weak after almost 1.5 years war where he is losing everything from personnel to every kind of artillery and machinery.Russian economy is down on its knees and with this move USA did put out of the way Russia as they are not worthy anymore,no one takes them seriously now,they thought to win the war in three days but even with the passing of three years I doubt they will win anything and even in the remote case that they win and get the 4 new areas,it is inevitable that Ukraine will join NATO then and Russia will be completely isolated,Russian have lost their game this time.

The US is worried of China using the opportunity to invade Taiwan, in which case there would be two fronts. All this muscle flexing is just to show that the US can support Ukraine and still defend Taiwan.

I have seen those estimates as well. These sites usually document confirmed losses, that is, with certain documentary evidence of them being destroyed. There is however a very large number of undocumented kills and what is more interesting, documented kills that are not actually kills..

https://www.economist.com/europe/2023/04/17/how-ukraine-is-using-fake-tanks-and-guns-to-confuse-the-russians

However, despite the questionable numbers, it is clear that RF cannot replenish the tanks as they are being lost. They are using up their stores or stored tanks, which many times can only be repaired using 3 vehicles to get one fully working, many times without some of the systems and many many times wihtout the most advanced sights, comms and other tech-intensive features.

Probably more than that. Still much much cheaper than having the Berlin wall rebuilt, going back to cold war in central Europe and having to deploy all the defensive systems that would be required to make sure that Crazy Putin does not go berserk on Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Finland, Lithuania... Yes, safety has a price, freedom has a price, at least Europe does not have to pay (yet) in blood like the Ukrainians, whose only fault is to have a psychopath next door.

If you want to make this about economics, the economics are very clear.

...

One of countless examples:  Choosing to fight 'bigly' in Artimovsk where it became exceeding difficult to get supplies in and out.

If Ukraine would have just negotiated early with Russia they almost certainly would have permanently a lot of the land which is now Russian (federation) and will almost certainly forever more be so.  

...

Translations:
 "negotiation" - giving in and let Putin decide and govern Ukraine from Moscow. Unless he chooses to directly grab the land (e.g. Crimea).
"strategic retreat" - Defeat, the Ukrainians kicked our balls.
"not strategic objective" - Defeat, the Ukrainians kicked our balls.
"choosing the battle" - Defeat, Ukrainians kicked our balls.
"difficult to get supplies" - Defeat, Ukrainians kicked our balls.
"is now Russian" - About to be a "strategic retreat" because it was "non-strategic objective", the RF is "choosing the battle" and, anyway, was "difficult to get supplies".

It seems that the "road of life" Artemovsk - Chasov Yar was physically cut by Wagner fighters and the supply of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artemovsk was complicated to the extreme. It is already becoming a tradition for the APU to get into the cauldron and then heroically try to carry out the extraction procedure.

Any thoughts on the possibility of victory day parade in Kiev on May 9th 2023?

Seems like it would be naive and foolish to think it's possible. 


Ukrainians will be fighting Russian aggressors to death.
Well, that means they'll die.

Yes, Captain Obvious, aggressors will die. That's the whole point.
In Kyiv on May 9 2022, a traditional parade will be held in honor of the victory of the USSR over Nazi Germany. It is naive and foolish to doubt it.
I advise you to consult with your psychotherapist about this painful fixation, it seems you have quoted this post of mine a dozen times already. I'm sure it can be cured if therapy is started immediately.

He is perfectly sane. You however are a psychopath that posts smileys when people are killed and make jokes about the bombing of cities.

You were wrong, but I do not blame you.

If this is successful, it could mean the end of human on-line poker playing except perhaps for the world masters and the like. Has anyone tried? Would it be possible??

I would certainly would like to see ChatGPT to play poker with amateurs based on a learning sample of masters and see how it plays out. I am pretty sure it can beat most of the for-fun players and perhaps some of the semi-pros. It is a game of calculation, patterns and chance and there is a method to it. I think an AI would be perfectly suited to exploit it. Hint hint.

So obviously all of these wins from roulette are just planted in the entire history that it exists and even if they weigh those balls it's still would have results they wanted? My life has all been a lie then. I'm not that of a roulette fan but very certain that I want to avoid this game in the future or never play at all.
Many will still ask for a proof and they will not believe on this easily, well this is how gambling works and even the top site have their own hidden strategy to get more wins over the gamblers. If you want to fee that you are safe from any cheating then play on physical casinos with the card games. Playing with slots are also possible to get cheated, just try to have fun and try to unseen this.
To conclude it then, is that they all cheat? Well, it would be luck then if you win on their games, sad that this is already going around but I think this may not stop those who really wants to gamble even if the risk of getting cheated is there. I think card games are way more honest or I'll just stay on sports betting.

Sounds like bad publicity. I do remember a group of people who were able to cheat on the casinos on the roulette. They made stats on where the ball fell and detected roulettes that had a slight tendency to make the ball fall on certain areas and they bet on these. They eventually got caught, but not before they got a very good retunr on their idea. I guess this is the opposite digital case.

-snip-
What happens is that gambling requires a set of characteristics from the gambler that in a way are contradictory, after all we want to let go and feel an adrenaline rush when we gamble, but if we let those feelings to take control of ourselves then we may find ourselves losing a massive amount of money, so we need to find a way to restrain ourselves, but if we do this then the experience we may get out of gambling may not be as fulfilling as we want.
Actually we can keep ourselves from losing more money but on the other hand we can also get the experience we want.
We can gamble with limited funds and use them as well as possible to bet on various types of games that we think are quite challenging, so from there we can still get a lot of satisfying and satisfying experiences from gambling.
But unfortunately gamblers prefer to play one or two games that they like without wanting to try several other games that can provide a better experience and this is very unfortunate because it is impossible in the long run to just play and be experienced in that game.
That do you mean by "gambling requires a set of characteristics from the gambler that are in conflicting ways"?
Yes, gamblers want to have unrestrained fun, but that would lead to disaster, so we need to exercise our self-control to avoid that outcome, but by doing so we are no longer unrestrained, so gamblers need to strike a balance which can be difficult for many of them to get it right and in fact many never do, which is why we see some people out there becoming addicted to gambling, as even if they want they fail to restrain themselves when they gamble.

A gambler requires a couple of things: Understanding what he/she is doing very well and being able to act in accordance to it. I'll explain: You are playing a game that, if it is of chance, is designed to make you loose on average. If you think otherwise you are in the wrong place. Secondly, you need to know when to stop, because you can act on your conviction.

I had my fair share of strange actions by bookmakers just to slow me down.

One of them for example, I don't want to name it. I was down quite some money on that site and finally had a stretch of some weeks where I won really everything. I remember well, at one point I won 24 out of my last 26 bets. So I recovered a high % of my losses in that time.

I decided to withdraw some, which usually takes 1-4 hours, and went to bed.

Next morning no money in my wallet and a message from them my account has be "selected for a routine security check" . At that point I was with this site for 2 years, always deposited/withdrew from the same wallet, always used the same IP, always bet on the same sports. But now that I finally won some money back they do this. Of course it only had impact on my withdrawals, I could still deposit, still make bets, just not play poker because you could collude with somebody losing you money to that person intentionally to withdraw.

Anyway, this "random check" took 3 weeks, and we are talking about a 5 digit amount stuck on the site. They didn't ask for KYC, just I should wait.

I suppose they tried to trigger me into making more bets so I could lose it back, but that didn't happen.

After all those weeks they finally cleared my account, guess they couldn't come up with an excuse to not pay me. I also didn't get any explanation or apology. As another fxxx you in my face they limited me, even though I was still down money overall.

Needless to say that I withdrew all my funds and moved on, these kind of tactics are just ridiculous. Of course it's not a scam but it was definitely shady.



This reminds me of some ICOs in the past. Everything was easy on regards to sending the money, but getting the token listed, sending it to the users and basically being able to sell your coins, particularly if you bounty-hunted, was nearly impossible. It seems that some sites are following this pattern and yes, it is a scam IMO if you want to see it that way.
