1201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers understood the game on: May 22, 2023, 12:51:02 PM
How many times have you successfully invited some gamblers to online casino? What is your experience doing so? I know many will find this hard to believe but I kinda prefer bringing in gamblers than investors into crypto, why? They understood the risk already, there is no talk and talk over again, there is no dealing with someone fear and confidence..
None. Never really done referrals before, and most of my friends that are non-gamblers aren't interested in gambling. Those that do though, are already doing it so nothing to refer to at all. Back in the days then yea maybe, I invited a few of my friends in the past to gamble (I was one of the early starters of gambling in our circle) and that pretty much brought about what we have right now with my circle.

And to the topic of gamblers and investors, I actually would do the opposite, gamblers can be quite, well, gamblers. Regardless of how they know about risks and whatnot, it's a lot easier to handle it when it's games (which is what we consider gambling is) but if we go towards investments and whatnot? Kind of a different story imo.
1202  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you give one reason why I should buy bitcoin? on: May 22, 2023, 09:28:41 AM
I don't think being convinced by others is what you want, in the first place I think you already have some level of interest since you're asking others to persuade you so I reckon you need to convince yourself instead and probably realize that you're already getting swayed.

I'd recommend reading up on what Bitcoin is via the whitepaper though if you want some materials, gives you it's core for what it actually is without personal bias. After that you can probably read up on articles to remove confusions if you have any (or even better, ask around)
1203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: increased Youtube Gambling ads? on: May 22, 2023, 12:04:46 AM
I'm asking out of curiosity, are you guys experiencing a surge of gambling ads on youtube videos lately? this past week I've experienced an increased encounter of gambling ads on videos I watch on youtube. it's not that it bothers me, I am just surprised because I don't remember getting this many gambling ads on youtube videos in the past, but this past week, I usually get a gambling ad from 2-3 out of 5 videos I watch(it's just an estimation because of how often I get the ads). I don't know if it is because I recently watched several videos of streamers gambling or it's just a coincidence, I've watched streamers gambling videos in the past but I have never gotten this many gambling ads.
Nope, cause I use adblocker Wink. I don't think I've ever had them on my phone though. Granted that I've never really accessed casinos in my phone.

Afaik though ads should be a representative of the stuff you watch in YouTube itself, I mostly watch gacha videos way back when I wasn't using adblocker, so most of my ads were about those. If you regularly use adblocker though and would sometimes not use them e.g. on a different pc, then afaik it should be general ads catered to your country.
1204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Gambling Operator Court Case on: May 21, 2023, 01:32:36 PM
It's sad, yes, but at the same time dumb as well. Why not blame internet providers for giving access to gambling websites now. Addicts gotta stop victimizing themselves if the underlying cause is themselves and not external parties. I mean said gambler would've probably still done the same thing regardless of what casino down the line.

And I highly doubt casinos would put a limit, even if requested by a user (unless it's a feature of the casino, which is highly unlikely to happen, but will probably be welcomed by addicts). Their a business after all, primary goal is to make profit. Money from your average joe vs money from a gambling addicts are both money anyway.
1205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think Casinos Should Do Survey From Time To Time To Assess You. on: May 21, 2023, 04:27:32 AM
I'd say no, not really. While it is a good thing imo, it isn't exactly something they necessarily have to do.

In the case of thresholds, instead of a survey casinos might as well implement a system where they can only spend x amount per month, and we all know that's not gonna happen. And if users were to only answer what they can spend in a survey but not follow it, might as well not do it in the first place imo.

As for the VPN thing, well, a warning at the start may be better instead? And then a 3 coin (life) warning system, if it goes past that then it can be considered intentional (or if they keep vpn open for their entire session)
1206  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What position you make more profit, buy or sell? on: May 20, 2023, 12:02:07 PM
Buy. I had a really bad experience with sell (shorts) in the past when I was new. It was basically something I did daily, I couldn't even break even most days due to how bad I was at doing it. A few months later I stopped completely and only after like a year did I start going for buy (long) instead. While it is slow, it does generate some profit at the very least from the time I started to this date. If I were better at shorting then yea, there's probably more profit there, but I'd say it's a lot more stable and better for me to keep at it with long positions instead.
1207  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Make profit in Crypto Trading as a newbie. Dream or reality ? on: May 20, 2023, 11:49:12 AM
Any comment on my article would be appreciated :

https://medium.com/@verinp/make-profit-in-crypto-trading-as-a-newbie-dream-or-reality-8ce64f7fe911

What do you think ?
What’s your investment strategy and winner tips ?
So it's shilling copy trading in the platform in the article. Does copy trading make a profit? Maybe, and that's why asking if it's dream or reality can be kind of confusing since we don't have a clear-cut answer. Even considering outside copy trading, just crypto in general, it's definitely possible imo. I mean I know some people who got off really well when the coin they were invested in popped off, like MATIC in the past. Should you follow them? Well if you're simply here to gamble then yea sure. If you want to last long though, then start setting up plans that you're gonna follow to a T for a long time, since planning for the long term is probably the easiest start a newbie trader can get.
1208  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is it about morality or productivity in choosing to work from Home on: May 20, 2023, 04:26:14 AM
Do you agree with Elon Musk or do you disagree with him?
I suppose Musk here is fighting for "equality", where people of a single company should go to and fro in the same office every day for their work. And it's just dumb (and there really is no such thing as equality tbf). I mean, let's be real, his argument of service workers coming to the office to work REQUIRES them to work there because that's there, or at least a part of their job description, simple as that. Some jobs are able to function well enough in their homes. Though it may be a matter of preference for them, it certainly doesn't necessitate the requirement for them to go to the office to perform their job.

I agree that it isn't really about productivity, I mean some people are just more productive in the office with fellow workers, and some are just productive while in the comfort of their home. Morality? Now that idrk where he got that from. Plus, I say bosses, team leads, CEO's or whoever is in the lead probably just isn't used to handling people online, hence why they make them come to the office, where they actually know how to.  
1209  Economy / Economics / Re: Kraken, UK trade body derides lawmaker description of crypto as ‘gambling’ on: May 19, 2023, 02:08:24 PM
Well if they mean crypto trading, then it CAN technically be one, just that it isn't exactly the word I'd use as something that encompasses the entirety of it. Otherwise, the entire investment market might as well be one. Or maybe the meaning of gambling changed at some point that I wasn't familiar with.

Well, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt if they actually make a separate law instead of categorizing it as gambling fully since I won't deny that crypto (trading) is indeed a high (very) risk type of investment in most cases. If they do actually categorize it LIKE gambling, then I'd be kinda disappointed with how the meeting went since from the article, the meeting had plenty of evidence explaining what crypto (trading) actually is.
1210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there play and pay later casinos? on: May 19, 2023, 04:14:11 AM
So is gambling debt one way or other possible without the person taking loan or borrowing money?
I think casinos allow it depending on how much they actually know about you? Doesn't even have to be a VIP system sometimes, if a casino knows you're a regular, spends a stable amount and can afford a debt, they'd probably give it a go signal. To make things more sure they'd probably ask for something like a paycheck to make sure you can actually pay something.

Maybe even a contract, which is what I'd probably look for if I was personally looking for one. Now if a casino offers you one though, then do due diligence. Any contract, not just in gambling or casinos, can suck the life out of you after all
1211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stake 93% to reach platinum 3 i need strategy on: May 19, 2023, 12:04:46 AM
Hey I mean assuming the 93% means you're already at 93% of the requirement, I don't think you're that far off. That's about $7,000 (assuming my math isn't off) that you have left, by the amount you've already wagered that should be peanuts (or a bit above that maybe) from your pov.

No strategy in gambling really, just spend what you can. If You're having difficulties cause of that same rule, then take your time, I don't think there's a need to rush, and neither should you.
1212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you like Meme Coins ? on: May 18, 2023, 12:37:46 PM
These days everyone is talking about the Meme coins and they are trending. Do you like investing in MEME coins ?

Do you like Meme coins and what are your Opinions on Meme coins. I understand Meme coins have no use case but they have hype and that's what you need to make money. Yes, the narrative of Meme coin is very short lived but it may give you 50x or 100x returns within no time.
No not really. I have recently been acknowledging that you can easily make a really quick buck if you're lucky enough. Doesn't really make me like it at all though, if anything it made me dislike it more.

The news showcase booming meme coins but it never really showed how many meme coins are out there that never made the cut. Though minimal investment can go a long way if you get lucky, it isn't really my type to look for it like that, which is why I went to DCAing all of my coins.
1213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Things that still make feel awkward with some online casinos on: May 18, 2023, 04:10:58 AM
I reckon most casinos( or any centralized company thay handles crypto) have a set amount that they use, plus a service fee. It might not dynamically change depending on immediate changes in the mempool, so they're slow in the update, and if they actually do, it's either because the fees became higher than what they originally set or because of a cycle, e.g. having a set fee for the entire day whichever is set at say, 12mn, where updates will only ever happen if as I said, fees go higher than what they set.

It doesn't really hurt them that way, could even be additional profit so they don't particularly mind having to change it. It's just business, and their customers still use them so they don't really see any need to actively reduce/adjust the system.
1214  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: A long term investor here, thinking about adding RoLLBit Token on: May 18, 2023, 12:17:04 AM
I wouldn't recommend investing everything you have immediately, looking at the chart the growth really looks insane but at the same time investing shouldn't really be done when it's up, it's when it's down that you actually should. Unless you're pretty sure the price would still go up or at least stay at it's current level in a stable manner, I'd avoid investing a whole lot on it.

On it's usage, I'm not sure but I think it should be related to the NFT rollbot that rollbit released long ago? Looking it up it seems to be used as lottery entries, there might be more but seeing the price increase it would seem that said lottery offers a lot, plus their burning mechanism which creates scarcity for the token itself.

If you wanted some similar benefits like VIP in some casinos, their NFT is what you need, not the token afaik.
1215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Confusion about sweepstakes and gambling on: May 17, 2023, 12:03:09 PM
What do you know about sweepstakes? I heard that some online casinos are using sweepstakes law to sidestep gambling regulations, they said users aren't really betting with their money but instead they are betting seepstakes ticket, this person also said that someone need to buy social coin and get those sweepstake tickets for free.

He also said that sweepstakes is not gambling and I am confused, he made mention of Stake.US as one of those online casinos using sweepstakes, I did my own research and it's said that sweepstakes are illegal, this is why I am confused.

Maybe those in the US on this forum can answer this question diligently?

1. Is Sweepstakes illegal in the US?

2. Is Sweepstakes gambling or not?
Sweepstakes is basically gambling, but entry is free. The idea was enforced by the US afaik, and any sweepstakes claiming to be one that asks for an entry free would be illegal since it's at that point, called gambling.  I would differentiate between the two since sweepstakes involve (should involve anyway) no money, at all, in any form. You can compare it to a bonus so to speak in grocery stores or markets.

It isn't illegal in the US, in fact, afaik it started from the US, or at least, the idea that sweepstake was a form of having a chance of winning something without having the need to spend money.
1216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to Assess a Memecoin and Not Get Scammed ;) on: May 17, 2023, 04:13:01 AM
Well I must say that was rather unlucky then. I wouldn't really only use this on meme coins, this kind of checking should be pretty useful among any other coin out there. I mostly check token holders and how much spread out it actually is just to avoid some sudden manipulation dump.

Outside of numbers it's pretty natural to read the tokens whitepaper just to see what they're doing and what they're planning to do in the future. Can be quite convoluted at times but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.
1217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't gamble if you don't have patience on: May 17, 2023, 12:14:12 AM
DON'T GAMBLE IF THE INSTANT WITHDRAWAL IS NOT AVAILABLE!
Or just don't gamble if you don't have the money  Wink . Kidding aside (not really), I'd say it's just because you were rushing for it, which can be seen as patience but I reckon it's something different. I mean you were rushing for funds here for some reason which meant you had or needed to spend it for something. I say try to just leave, close the casino when withdrawing and check it the next day instead. What I do most of the time. If it's still there the next time, then just retry.

Don't get me wrong it happens to the best of us imo. I've had some instances of it as well but I never really went past the point where I'd gamble it again while waiting.
1218  Economy / Gambling / Re: Slot Educational Parade on: May 16, 2023, 10:20:18 PM
in the video, it is not explained which region (city) it comes from but it is clear that the parade is from my country, in the parade it is clear what slot players get when they play from the "first" month (still motorbikes are expensive) to month "fourth" (ugly motorcycle).

without direct education by the central and local governments to young people and the general public, I think this kind of parade is not effective enough, it's even obvious, the parade is the initiative of the private community in the area.

do you think, a parade like this will be effective in reducing the level of gambling addiction?
Were those what the signs meant? I wasn't sure since I couldn't read the entirety of it properly. I actually doubt they intended to send a gambling addiction reduction as a message though, it's more like satire in the sense of gambling and if they did, well, they failed successfully. It is kind of funny though seeing that god of Olympus-themed slots being shown like that.

Even if it was actually intended, I highly doubt it would've been helpful in the first place. Messages like these are easily forgotten since they're more enjoyable (or easy to ignore) at the moment, but easily forgotten once a few hours have passed unless a really memorable event happened, and these kinds of events that aim to reduce gambling addiction don't really give enough of that imo.
1219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Ultimate Meme Coin is Here Sheep coin Launching soon on: May 16, 2023, 04:19:56 AM
After this Sheepcoin we will have Goatcoin or Frogcoin, and while we are discussing this developers are on farms and in backyards to check what other animals or insects they can create a meme to hype to the community.

We are really in the year of meme coins after the PEPE meme coin trend and it will continue as long as these meme coins are getting hype and getting a good volume in the market.
Now it'd actually be interesting if they built a community among animal themed meme coins, kinda like a zoo really. I reckon it'd be a pretty big project/community which would kind of develop towards something more non-meme-ish, one worthy of investment I suppose.

Probably just a dream for now though. A majority of these coin devs are just there cause of the hype, hoping to iit some minor investors imo.
1220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best and worse slots on: May 16, 2023, 12:31:43 AM
I usually prefer myth related games. I enjoy those kinds of themes in any types of games, not just in slots. I probably played a few more non-myth themes but it's been so long I can't remember lmao.

I reckon it's all just up to luck though? Sweet bonanza may just have been the game when your luck was at the top. I'd still say try out a lot of others, slots cover a lot of themes so it'd be a waste to not try the lot of them simply because you were luckier on one.
