Players' concern board wherein they could post complaints, reviews, and the likes concerning that platform and how the site acted on those things; both good and bad. Reason? To help players determine whether it would be a good site to put their money with but I hope this would also come with a way to not tamper those comments by both players and the site itself. It would be an interactiion between players and the gambling site to address issues in a faster manner and to avoid things from happening again to both parties. I've daid this 'coz all platforms already have focused with the type of games to be offered, rewards, bonuses and the likes but not with the quality of service they are giving.
1222  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can money be saved in gambling sites? on: August 25, 2023, 04:41:32 PM
Question is why? For sure we are all aware that it is not a good thing to do 'coz it has a weaker security than with banks or crypto wallets. Also, it would be at risk if anything happens to that particular gambling website. Another risk is lacking self discipline to somehow use all of those money in betting. If it is just a small amount then that would be fine but if it is a huge winnings, then withdrawing it would be better. This is laziness I believe 'coz there's no valid reason to do so except for not planning to save any amount for other purposes than gambling. If that's so, chances are high that you'd lose it eventually either in games or with breach related issues.
1223  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Responsible Sports Betting Shop Operations on: August 24, 2023, 11:59:10 PM
Indeed it would be possible to ttack a gambler's activity thru their account but problem is, not all gambling site owner or provider would be concerned enough to tell their players to minimize their exposure to avoid being addicted into it. It is like pushing away your customet from ypur store. Good for the cited story we won't see it on a daily basis. So what can we do? Apply discipline to ourselves. We don't need to rely or wait for the gambling site to warn us about gambling addiction and instead, we should be the one who's more eager to be away from the risk of getting addicted in gambling.
1224  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos Should Also Be Prepared For Health Emergencies on: August 24, 2023, 05:43:17 PM
I'm also sure that for an international casino class they definitely provide a first aid kit. However, the first aid kit will not help people with heart attacks at all, the best way is to take them directly to the hospital.

Yes, I agree with you and the previous comments that the casino probably had a first aid kit but that it did not include a defibrillator. In large organisations it is not uncommon for there to be a defibrillator for every x number of people and at least some people are trained to use it if necessary.

However, I imagine that statistically it is very rare, and that it is not just because of one case that casinos the size of this one are going to be forced to have defibrillators and train their staff.
There's just a protociol in which the staffs of a casino would be following. In case of emergencies then protocols should include an urgent action with such instance. First aid would help indeed but still it would be better to put professionals in your casino ( for landbased ones). For sure casinos in such cases are having huge revenue already for them to not be prepared of unfortunate cases including health related one. All businesses should be ready with health related problems and other emergencies pehaps fire related, since it is their service which collects people in your casino in the first place.  

And going back with protocols  not all staffs are aware of the things to be done in such problem. Should they be knowledgeable of first aid? no, that's not their responsibility anymore. A casino should allot particular professionals for that.
1225  Economy / Gambling / Re: Help us build the greatest crypto casino on: August 24, 2023, 04:34:30 PM
everything has been said above , and i think you have enough to use for your casino , best to focus in development of the games, bring new set of games or at least upgrade those old one.
OP doesn't have enough money even OP hopes for help from the community to build together, that means OP doesn't have enough money and only has ideas and the desire to build it, don't take it too seriously this will never be achieved, so just say what is the input for OP after that it will disappear by itself, so I have seen this many times on this forum and always in the end it doesn't produce anything.

But we still appreciate the OP asking for advice and we provide suggestions and input feedback, judging by the way the OP makes threads discussing the same thing too often it doesn't look good as piling up unnecessary posts, I hope he can really build on what there is came to mind after getting some great feedback from the forum community in this thread or previous threads.  Grin

Well obviously a project like that doesn't come to life in a matter of days. I've read all the comments from this thread and the previous one, I know where the opportunity lies. Now it's time to look for funding, as I've mentioned earlier, my startup capital is only 15k$ which isn't enough. I'll keep you updated along the way.
Of course not enough. 
But it's good that you already know and understand better what is needed in order to open a new casino and work successfully.  The problem, however, naturally lies in finding an investor or several investors.  I just know that investing in essentially startups like you want to do and using cryptocurrency payments is pretty hard to come by.  According to statistics, only about 1 out of 100 potential investors can begin to seriously consider your proposals.  But unfortunately, it is unlikely that it will be possible to do without contacting such a number of potential investors.  Only if the OP is lucky, the number of such negotiations can certainly be less.  But conducting such negotiations is a rather laborious task and takes a lot of working time.  But of course, real investments should be an order of magnitude larger than OP has. 

But in any case, I wish OP good luck and success in this field of activity!
Awareness of what is lacking, already is a big move than to just dream of something and not checking the circumstances. But thay's what it takes; you are aiming for something huge and that would also require huge amoung of time, effort, and money. However, it would be hard for a fundraising to take place as we all know. Invwstors would be curious of how would things be managed perhaps with a roadmap to check the feasibility before their actual engagement. If it is fundraising then a more detailed plan with this project, would help OP achieved his intentions, as others have mentioned. Patience would alao be needed 'coz there'll be criticisms on the way.

You may focus on rewards or bonuses, games to be offered, and the likes which are present to most of the gambling platforms. But never forget the quality of service your players should be having in order to keep their ptronage in your platform.
1226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the Role of Blockchain Tech in Online Gaming? on: August 23, 2023, 07:00:25 PM
Freedom I guess, with gambling casinos. You may engage with typical or fiat online gambling sites but it would be either taxation from your winnings or high service fees.

Web 3.0 gambling industry applies the nature of decentralization to players. Thus, anyone would be allowed to play. So basically, differences are concerned with mode of payment. There would be anonymity with regards to transactions. Unfortunately, this feature allows minor to participate as well with online casino platforms. Definitely it is just a matter of a security level that players should comply. Quite of a revolutionary gambling era online. So far developments still are in preparation and polishing of what this industustry could take place.
1227  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I can’t cope on my own. What do you think I should do? on: August 23, 2023, 06:29:49 PM
~snip~

According to the channel free games are limited and we can only enjoy for a month and now the month is almost over and only VIPs will be entitled to games when the month elapses. I have been having doubts whether to join the VIP zone because I don’t want to be scammed that’s why i want to know your opinions.

 What do you all think i should do?
What do you think?
You have already mentioned it; you're afraid to get scammed and you're also losing in sportsbetting with your own analysis. No one wins without losing. If you really think you are having a bad experience in sportsbetting then why don't you stop then? You're still here 'coz you want something then you should be pushing yourelf to achieve that. You have a choice whether to try risking a few amount for that VIP and see it for yourself or improve your analysis and bet on your own or to simply quit on sports betting and move to other gambling game. Sometimes the answer to our question is obvious and we just tend to not mind it 'coz we are looking for an answer from other people. Do what you think would work on your end and don't rely with other's opinion.
1228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on How to Stay Safe and Avoid Scams When Gambling Online on: August 23, 2023, 05:47:09 PM
If it is too good to be true, then avoid it. I've been gambling in this industry for years and so far, this saved me from fraudlent platforms. All gambling sites could offer different games, huge amounts of bonuses and rewards but why are they gauging and hesitating from doing so? 'coz it could be a loss on their end especially if players could abuse the system by any chance. There's no such thing as an easy way to be rich; either you invest and earn or by luck. We should all be cautious of our actions. There are many new gambling sites in each week but if you're seeking for assurance, then engage to reputable ones of this industry.

I don't see why you could avoid scams by signing up only to the Bitcoin casino with an email address. You still can be scammed by a scam BTC casino out there because the crypto casinos these days are asking KYC as well.

What you need to do to stay safe is to sign up only to the trusted Bitcoin casino. The famous ones have been operating the business for a long time because this for sure is not gonna close shops because of your $1M.
As lomg as you won't be dumb enough to put everything in it, you'll be safe if it is informtion being concerned of. There's no way to tell a platform would be an absolute scam unless something bad happens to atleast one of the player's money so be cautious.
1229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I will pass KYC later is a bad idea on: August 23, 2023, 05:06:15 PM
At all times, it is better to just comply than to make standards on our own. We are only users of a platform nd we should respect their rules as for their mnagement. In these instances KYC is creating a struggle, they'd be vocal of the issue in order for you to receive your money. It'll just be taking some time especially if there are issues under your account. So far I have never struggled with KYC procedures. With regards to verifying your account first before making a deposit should be a given action especially if you read their rules. You'd earn nothing if ever  you'd be against complying on their terms. Let us just be preventive as well.
This happened to me before when I was a beginner in gambling with the first casino that I have played with. I focused on winning and enjoying the entire site as well as all their featured games.
Unfortunately, upon withdrawal, they asked for KYC which really surprised me as a newbie. They were askng for IDs and documents that I couldn't provide that time. So I ended up having my funds on hold which is really frustrating.
I realized that it is better to pass rhe KYC first before aiming for good wins because our profit would be nothing if we couldn't process it due to failed KYCs.
I think reading the TOS first before the deposit, would be a better approach on such situations. What if they have other rules which would go against your expectations? There are many gambling sites to choose from and s players we are all free to choose on our own depending on our capabilities of compliance. We couldn't make them adjust for us.
1230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Personal favorite on: August 23, 2023, 04:27:54 PM
I've had the best luck, the fastest withdrawal and deposits from https://www.bitcoincasino.us/ they do require a 3x wager of amount deposit but the cash out immediately. What do any of you think?
The site is having bad reviews. Actually I'm not really familiar with it but as others have mentioned it is not having a good stand to many players. I hope this is not for promotional concerns 'coz you'd be dragging players into something which would put their money at risk.

More than three users have confirmed that they are experiencing the seam issue meanwhile none of them are located in UK, meaning either the site is having issues filtering ip address or it’s just a shitty website.

And if you take a look at the post history of the op, I think that there’s a hidden motive behind him posting this casino’s link here in the forum. Because if you check all his posts were made in the lending board with him seeking for loans which is a sign of a scammer and all of a sudden he comes to the gambling board testifying that he was able to withdraw from a site that has a low rating, that’s a big fat red flag if you ask me.

Looks like OP has been trying his luck on the lending board. I would say he might have come up with this casino and is trying to scam gamblers. I mean why on earth a casino would give bonus without a wagering requirements? He does claim he got it without a wagering requirement which should raise concern. Then the shitty filtering process is something I won't be able to comprehend as I am not it is so easy to do that using Cloudflare.
Too good to be true and we should all know the drill on this; avoid it. Most of the gamblers in this forum are aware of how suspiscious a gambling site could be. Would probably work for people outside this industry but for experienced one, this won't pass.

And for the new ones out there? Make it a habit to ask from other players, it won't cost you a penny. Also, never be baited with tricks which aren't even close to reality. It is your money to be trashed so don't let it happen that easily.
1231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do star players affect the odds of a match bet? on: August 22, 2023, 10:49:24 PM
Yes but more with specific players. I saw this with previous NBA League in particular with championship. I was looking for parlays and I find it hard to get a decent odd with Nikola Jokic and Murray on sepecific stats 'coz they're both expected to perform well by other bettors, also with other players such as Gordon. Odds are simply the reflection of how majority of bettors percieve a player or fighter within a specific match. So basically, star players are more popular than bench players which makes sense for audiences to expect more from them to perform well within a game.  You'd be able to bet under their names for a better outcome but never expect high returns all the time.
1232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: finally achieved $1,000,000 goal (kind of) on: August 22, 2023, 04:18:06 PM
Would you be satisfied then? For sure you won't. It would be hrd to stop with initiative especially if you are winning. You'd have that idea of "I have already won  so I would play a bit and allow to lose small amount", which could trigger a bigger drive to continue plaaying and if it's worse, then you'd lose everything. Bottomline is our satisfaction. We tend to forget winning comes once in a bluemoon and not to all of us. Would be okay to continue playing but if you'd still tag your next games to play on your previous winnings, then that is where problem could arise. I'd say take a rest and never be too greedy. Enjoy the amount little by little. And comeback once you are mentally and emotionally stable to again, play.
1233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Have you gained anything after the end of bull run? on: August 21, 2023, 07:22:29 PM
Honestly, I quite erned a lot with the previous bullrun but not as big as it should be 'coz I tried holding and waiting for the price to recover before it continuously fall. We just cannot help it; there'll be times that we would be foolish and would choose to embrace the risk which I am now avoiding as an investor. I learned that it is not about the amount you have engaged and to be earned but rather the opporty to be more exposed with this blockchain. Also, it is not too late to invest. All you have to do is to wait for things to again start its increase. There's an appoaching Bitcoin halving which could uplift the market prices. If you came from the past, then I'd choose to continue wiyh my scheme as a rider. Investing at this point would be a hood idea but never push your luck that much.
1234  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin negatives on: August 21, 2023, 07:03:52 PM
Some on your list may be true, some may be not. But have you also made a list of fiat negatives? Bitcoin is an alternative. You might want to take a closer look at the main option in order to have a fairer and more balanced view. Only then could you pass the final verdict and set aside Bitcoin. You might actually end up with a much longer list. There's a reason why fiat badly needs to have an alternative.

Also, Newton's third law of motion is true not just in physics but in other aspects of our existence as well. Every time we eat, we contribute to the world's degradation. Shall we stop eating?
You can also ask him to post the positives of Bitcoin. I am sure there are lots of it which can negate its negatives. Fiat might have some positives too but I think its negative is much more than it. That is the reason why Bitcoin is born to supply it.

If only the banks or governments are going to be asked, I think that fiat is already enough for them. For them it is already a perfect creation and there is no need for an alternative such as Bitcoin. They think that an alternative currency will only get the demand that their fiat is supposed to be getting or worse their fiat will be overcome by it. It's only funny that they didn't saw Bitcoin coming and it's now too late for them to stop it.
Stability with the market vaalue is Fiat's best feature simply because it promotes equality with the price of market goods. Next is centtalization and recognition to most of the countries. Unlike with Bitcoin and other crypto which has its limitation in particular with adoption and wide usage of this technology. Bitcoin will be on a bigger stage and will be acknowledge by more people in the future but to those who are thinking that it might be the main mode of payment in every transaction then that's so far from the reality. There a higher tendency for these two systems of digital currency are being pick upon by people but co-existence is more likely to happen despite of any negative or positive side.
1235  Economy / Economics / Re: Running faucet business in 2023 still possible? on: August 21, 2023, 06:42:21 PM
If you want to start a business from these cheap coins then you must know about their advertising. First of all you need to be well versed with the coin and know in detail when it will be profitable to invest in it. Also if you are trading for profit then I think it is better not to invest in such coins but find much better crypto that will give you profit from there. But if you use such calls then I can see you won't get much profit from here but some amount of profit but it won't be good for you at all.
Unfortunately, faucets are no longer as profitable as it was before. You'd manage to get some points but not all are having market price increase and many projects are not even paying. With this, I doubt it would still be a good thing to start a business with. If you manage to earn huge from fucet then that's great but not all has the luck to do so. Indeed these tokens can be traded to other pair but  there are also instances faucet tokens are even being listed to exchanger for such reson. Much better if you would engage to sources such as this forum or with NFTs. Those are more profitable thn to wait for "free money". There are other businesses and OP shouldn't be limiting himself to one bucket alone.
1236  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin best option to invest on: August 21, 2023, 06:04:10 PM
Investing in bitcoin is not something one can do without being watchful. One has to know when to make investment and when not to, to avoid losing money. As it is, the price of bitcoin fluctuates, but there are times when the price is more likely to rise, for example, after the bitcoin halving. Mostly, if one makes a long-term investment, the end result is usually positive. All in all, any bitcoin investor should be watchful.
No matter what chances there is, we have no assurance of the market price behavior 'coz it is dependent with demand and demand on the other hand is affected by many factors. Never be too confident.

Also to those who are too optimistic in Bitcoin as an asset or investment. Definitely it is not the best to engage to. There are other alternatives and that depends on your preference as an investor. Pehaps you are bot confident with high volatility. There are properties, gold, and other assets having a potential to have higher market price in the future. Problem with some investors are not gauging the risks and circumstances. They're only focused with the profit but not with the risks.
1237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top altcoin that you won't buy anymore on: August 21, 2023, 05:32:32 PM
Memecoins I guess. These tokens are still profitable for swing trades but I doubt its market prices would be bck to its ATH even if halving occurs for Bitcoin which could trigger a bulltrend. Memecoins are profitable as an investment if you would manage to participate on their pre-sale but never expect that its market value will go up in the long run simply because it has no utility to sustain any market demand.

What is the name of that Top altcoin that you won't buy anymore??

I won't like ripple, it has a very low hype in the market and many people believe it is highly manipulated. Apart from that the price volatility is not encouraging, xrp has not increased more than $3 yet it stays in top list of coins in CMC. I won't like a project that it growth still depends on what the outcome of the court issue is.
I also think that Ripple is the most useless project among the top ones. Although I guess you can say that about any project nowadays, but Ripple has nothing else besides hype. I don't understand why it has been in the top for so long.
Having a point but if it is general profitablity of tokens then I believe Ripple still has it. We saw recently how fast its value have increased because of a single news. I assume that there are still many investors looking forward for its development as proven by its demand whenever news regrding its lawsuit, happens. I still have holdings of it and I can say that it is still a better asset than the new ones in this indistry.
1238  Economy / Speculation / Re: 1 Bitcoin will be $173,566 before November, 2025 on: August 21, 2023, 04:48:18 PM
Well, we do have our own opinions and speculations. Skies the limite for its market value given that its price is dependent with demand. As long as the demand in Bitcoin is continuously increasing, not to mention that majority of people still are not engaging at this point  then it is okay to expect for  high market value. On my end, I guess the market price would also pass or break the $100k mark by 2025 given that halving is around the corner. There's a huge expectation on its market price because of what happened before and that is an enough reason for a huge pump because of FOMO. Despite of that we cannot expect for a continuous market price increse, there'll always be sudden dumps in which we should all be prepared for, in order to endure sudden price changes and to earn profit in the long run.
1239  Economy / Economics / Re: Any business where today you launch, tomorrow you begin making profit...? on: August 20, 2023, 06:20:42 PM
A business needs capital. How would you be able to got back with the amount you have invested in it within a single day? Before profit comes, you need to first get your initial investment, and that won't happen in a single blink of an eye.
You like to get profits in short period of time,which is not the easy task.Most of the people will spend huge time to buy the particular coin,because they investing their valuable money.Only the good project will give you returns,the scam or fake project will take your money gradually and finally your holding will become a zero value.Many people hold their money in the valuable coin,they need to wait for the profit from such coin.Patience is the key needed for the good profit from your holding money.

Putting a business and making profit from it will take time. You need to undergo a trial and error first to apply specific strategies to make your business grow. There's no shortcut to successful business as you still need to consider lots of things to ensure that your business will work in an specific location, target consumers and people's demand.
If you want to have an assurance of making profit from your business, you need to polish everything first but that doesn't mean that you will not experience hardships and challenges. There's no instant success in building a business as competitions are everywhere but if you put hardwork and dedication, things will surely work.
Yes, you're right, of course it takes time, not just a few days or a few months, to be able to create a business, and even those who have been in business for several years may not necessarily be able to enjoy good results. I have never seen a business that has just been built can get good profits, of course they have to go through every process to get good results.
There's no such thing unless you are just a sidewalk vendor and happened that many people sold your products out which could cover the amount you have used to actualize that particular business such as equipments for you to have quite of a good start.If you gamble then that's possible.But also, that is a different context with their proper procedure. Never chase for a shortcut 'coz it would bring you nowhere.
1240  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin obsession! on: August 20, 2023, 05:42:10 PM
It is conventionally taken that obsession to something is bad(wrong) and people are mainly advised to do away with behaviours of obsession to anything as it could result to their harm. And on this note I want us to look into bitcoin obsession, discussing objectively about it without sentiment or prejudice for the sake of  impacting rational knowledge in the course of the discuss.

But before we proceed you might wanna have a refreshing definition/meaning of obsession. According to the Britannica dictionary, obsession is a state in which someone thinks about someone or something constantly or frequently especially in a way that is not normal. While, the Oxford dictionary defines it as an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind.

Now, it is undeniable and an underlying fact that bitcoin possesses multiple advantageous features spanning from anonymity, decentralization, cancellation of third party, pseudonymity, P2P etc, all encapsulated towards financial freedom.

With obsession when it's gambling we give a strong NO with our reasons attached cause obsession is just another form of addiction. So lets talk about obsession (addiction) to bitcoin. I felt in a way it might help bitcoin enthusiasts like myself and others to knows  and understand in clear terms if bitcoin obsession is bad(wrong) or not.

If being obsessed with money is wrong then everyone in this world is wrong which is enough to prove that there is nothing wrong with being obsessed in making more money but what matters is how they make it. If they are making it via illegal ways by means of law then the person has to face the consequences of it but please can we get rid of comparing bitcoin with gambling and addiction cause it isn't a fair comparison at all?

So let's say being obsessed with Bitcoin is fine until the person is not doing any harm to them physically and mentally like not watching the price charts 24/7 which will make them anxious and further problems financially and health related. It's not bad as long as they are making it within legal and ethical boundaries, and one doesn't neglect other important aspects of life in the process.

Obsession is different from necessity. Ofcourse everyone has the drive to earn money but it would be another story if we would talk about obsession. Obsession means you'd do something no matter what circumstances you would face or encounter. On the other hand, it won't also be a good thing to be obsessed with Bitcoin. It is okay to have investments into it but diversification will still be more advisable. Bitcoin indeed has a higher market price volatility but that won't guarantee big profit already 'coz in line with its volatility issues, are instances wherein the market price would fall. Gambling addiction indeed is different with Bitcoin investment but both has risk, so you decide where to engage yourself with.
