since the OP is already here at the forum, he can easily distinguish some of these reputable casinos found in the forum. he can check the trust summary of each rep and see who has existing issues with their players. assess also the case, if it is the fault of the player or the bookie itself. sometimes there are complaints that are not valid.
this is the benefit of forum users as they can easily spot the reputable bookies as they will know if the bookie has unresolved valid cases. of course, you would avoid such site.
He should have been able to start finding a list of valid and trusted casinos from this forum and start trying them one by one to find one that suits him. We also have a list of casinos that are different from others because we are looking for casinos that can provide comfort in playing gambling, and that is why, once we have the list, we have to examine it more thoroughly to find the casino we are looking for.

We can't just follow other people's advice to play gambling at certain casinos because maybe they have found comfort in playing gambling. Meanwhile, those of us who don't have a list like them can only keep looking until we find it. And I'm sure they will find that trusted casino because many trusted casinos can satisfy their customers in this forum.
I don't think that one needs to try all the casino platforms one by one to find out which one is the best or which suits them the most. That is why reviews and feedback are taken from people who have already used those platforms so that another person can evaluate based on the reviews and feedback provided by the community and choose a platform based on that, and then if they don't like something after joining, they can change to another one.

Community feedback is one of the most important things one should consider before joining a platform because when you see multiple people rating a certain platform, you can have an idea how they actually are and you won't need to join the platform just to test it yourself since you will have to make a deposit for that as well.
Certainly yes. Community feedbacks can be a lot helpful especially for inexperienced gamblers because it can help them find reputable casinos rather than falling in a trap with scam and not legit casinos. Moreover, community feedbacks can also be useful to track red flag casinos so that new gamblers will come to avoid them and prevent their future losses. Testing one by one is definitely a waste of time and money. They'll make you profitable at first and when you decide to increase your bets, they'll take advantage on it and get back all your profits eventually.
1302  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Appropriate percentage of income for gambling on: September 03, 2023, 09:51:58 PM
Less than 5% and less than 2% seems a bit close to each other. Mine is just around 3% range give or take every month so I could say that I could maybe drop it to 2% as well and it wouldn't really change a whole lot in my life, and I could increase it to 5% as well and it wouldn't suddenly make me poor neither.

However, I could say that it is going to end up with a different result one way or another, it is not going to be that simple in the end and should be a bit of a difficult question based on what your income is. Someone who makes 500 dollars a month and someone who makes 50k a month should not have the same result, while one can spend 10% easily, the other can't. That's why this changes from person to person.
However, the only thing I am certain of is that you should never gamble more than you can afford to lose. Spending 5% or below is easy to say, but when you are already experiencing consistent huge profits in gambling, I think it would be hard for anyone to stop, thinking that the moment you stop, you will eventually lost your luck and never get the chance again to be in huge profits. This is why most gamblers never win ultimately, aside from the fact that the house should always be the one to win.
1303  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your perception about crypto games? on: September 03, 2023, 07:27:07 PM
Can't really understand what you did mean, but the casino is keep making money despite bull or bear market, maybe there's a casino that choose to convert their volatile cryptos into stable coin, so either bull or bear market, their wealth are relatively stable.

Right now we're in bear market, but there are many new casino comes up and the old casinos are still survive.
Crypto games will never lose its value regardless if the market turns bearish or bullish on the other side. Same with crypto casinos that never fail to keep making profits either the market is in deep bearish or bullish. That is why in the last previous years, the number of legit crypto casinos has risen more because as crypto betting becomes more popular, different crypto casinos as well continue to serve the players with interesting and exciting crypto games.
1304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: September 03, 2023, 06:17:46 PM

If you look at simple numbers, the industry is growing really fast. But what if we adjust for inflation? Plus, an amendment to the fact that many people began to sit online more than offline (after covid, many even refuse to return to the office because they realized that remote work is what they need). Maybe with these amendments the growth rate will not seem so gigantic, but the governments, of course, are interested in exposing the case so that without their intervention there will be a total infection of all with gambling addiction  Grin

The Covid had increased the usage of Online gambling as compared to the offline gambling in the casino hall.Mostly the work was from home to most of the workers in the pandemic had increased the usage of time in Online gambling.The pandemic is the root cause for the increase in the crypto adoption during 2021.The increase in crypto adoption also increase the usage of Crypto based gambling sites.The government schemes also now increases the usage of cryptocurrency for now,which further increase the crypto based gambling sites.The growth of online gambling before and after pandemic was twice in value.
Certainly, you have a point. It was only when the time of pandemic that online gambling have inevitably surged high more than the rate from gambling in live casinos. Most likely because people are stuck at home and have no other means to entertain themselves than to surf online and there a lot of online gambling apps have emerged so high. And even when the pandemic was over, still online gambling continue to entertain a lot of people that they even prefer to stay at home gambling online than to find physical casinos to gamble.
1305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hypothetical Question on: September 03, 2023, 04:05:02 PM
If someone told you a guaranteed sports bet that had a 100% chance of winning, how much would you bet on it?

If you had a $10,000 bankroll, would you go all in? We’re talking 100% can’t lose bet.

Would you take out a loan? How would you go about acquiring a large sum of money if you didn’t have the capital.

Let’s say the match is starting 24 hours from now, what would be your plan to maximize your profit?

Asking for a friend  Wink

Obviously there is no such thing as a bet with a 100% chance of winning, so I imagine that there is some irregularity in this that could be:
- A bug detected on the website;
- Bribing a player so that he commits a foul, an own goal, or even causes an expulsion, etc.

Thinking about these hypotheses, I would certainly not even make that bet, because first:
It's illegal... although money is never too much, you need to understand the morality of this issue and also the risks involved. Certainly my imprisonment for justice is not worth the money earned.
Consequently, because it is doing something illegal, there is a possibility that the site will detect the fraud and block all the money invested in the bet, money that will never return to the player.

If your 100% winning bet isn't illegal, I would certainly bet good money (not my entire investment, let alone loans). But I don't see that this is possible.
a bet with a 100% winning chance? Imagine that. As 'imaginative' as they may be, your theories offer a plethora of entertaining nonsense. Bribing players due to a bug on the website. You make an accurate appraisal of the morality and legality. Nonetheless, there's a noticeable lack of maturity. Gambling is all about excitement, risk, and uncertainty. Maybe one should stick to bonds and fixed deposits if they want guarantees?

And then there's this gem - "If your 100% winning bet isn't illegal, I would certainly bet good money". Wow, what faulty reasoning. Even if betting were a science, I doubt its theorem would state that anything is 100% certain. Hey, everyone enjoys a good laugh sometimes. I toast to your novel perspective on the unlikely


Bribing any players is a reality for some smaller leagues but that information are mostly classified and just for the inner circle only because they are the ones who will benefit best from it as for them, it's a business day and for some reasons, they might need that loss or win, either way, we just don't know why.

And for simple terms, to us, the gambler, there's a slight chance that we will have this kind of information as it's not that shared on the outside. And if you're a bettor, then you surely aren't from the inner circle because if you are already benefitting from it in the first place then surely you don't have to wager any money towards it. Makes sense right.
1306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crawford vs Canelo-Charlo winner (no date yet) on: September 03, 2023, 03:40:18 PM
This is all theory.  Spence looks like he is going to trigger the rematch clause so Crawford has to fight him next per the deal that was struck where the lower can trigger a rematch.  Worse yet if Spence wins then there could be a rubber match after that.  I think it's all just wild speculation and Crawford using his win to spark conversation about him.

For me, the rematch's output will still be the same. Crawford dominated the whole fight except for that first round so it will be just the money they are getting here n the rematch and it will not be close, maybe Spence will last until the 12th round but still losing that fight, many even speculated that he has trouble fighting southpaws.

I've read an article that Canelo has changed his tunes and open in fighting Crawford next after his Charlo. This only means that Benavidez and Bivol fights will not happen in the near future.

i believe they are checking the pulse of the boxing community. if they see a large following about crawford vs canelo-charlo winner. their respective promoters may indeed push thru this match. however, if the rematch will happen between crawford and spence, then we may see first the winner of this rematch before anything else. as the tables can turn upside down.

I don't think they need the pulse of the boxing community though, Crawford is the number 1 pound for pound no doubt, and then the winner could be in the list as well. So there is money here, specially if it will be Canelo vs Crawford, the cash cow Canelo and then the pound for pound Crawford. But if it will be Charlo vs Crawford same still, they have beef already so it will make a good story line.

And for sure during face off, I expect a lot of trash talke (Charlo vs Crawford), maybe there will be pushing or shoving, I imagine. So it make sense to make this fight and it will be one of the biggest as there is history on the line.

Charlo needs to win so he can have a big fight with Crawford, because if not, the fight won't be as interesting, considering they are both eyeing a bout with Canelo. I'm sure Crawford understands that as well; he will fight for both money and his goal to be one of the greatest. Once he wins, he will become an undisputed champion, which could make him the most popular boxer in his generation.

There's a lot at stake in a possible Crawford vs. Canelo match, and it will certainly generate a lot of money, as it's a 50/50 fight. In contrast, Charlo vs. Crawford might end up being a one-sided bout in favor of Crawford, so I'm hoping Canelo will win impressively against Charlo.

And that's why Crawford is eyeing the winner here, yeah, possible for a Charlo fight, but if Canelo defeated him, then obviously, it will be Canelo. Maybe there will be some of us who wanted Crawford vs. Charlo because they seems to really dislike each other.

Nevertheless, a Alvarez vs Crawford is going to be huge, it could be one of the biggest fight for this year. Just like the Garcia vs Davis fight, there will be a lot of hype specially for Crawford who is going to make history.

The way I see it, Canelo still holds his weight class pretty dominantly and I don't see that Charlo will be the first one to upset Canelo in his own weight class. His last fight, it was somehow a controversial one because he did not manage to knockout John Ryder but that is because Ryder's chin is so tough which gives Canelo some struggles but even that, I still think the same that Canelo will still have the last laugh and it did really happened.

Now, Charlo is taking point and making a challenge to the former pound for pound king and the current undisputed at 168 and a tough challenge is already awaiting for him. Crawford is still on the next page, so let's just talk about it later.

[....]
If Davis weren't injury-prone, I would choose him over Giannis because, in my opinion, Davis is smarter than Giannis. Based on my observations, Davis doesn't easily panic, and he loves to take the last shot. But when it comes to Giannis, he seems too predictable. I would compare Davis to LeBron, as both are gifted with great physique but aren't that clutch in crucial moments.
You give credit to Davis for loving to take the last shot on one end but you also said at the end that he isn't clutch. I don't know but that really sounds confusing to me.


Sorry about that, it was a typo error. I was using Giannis and LeBron as examples because both are very dominant big men who can defend well but aren't great shooters, especially in crucial moments. Giannis tends to get flustered when faced with double or triple teams, making it easy to beat him if opponents exploit this weakness, as the Heat did. As for LeBron, his shooting percentage seems to decrease in crucial moments, which is why he often chooses to pass the ball and let his teammates take the last shot. This way, he avoids blame in case the shot fails.

As Lebron ages, he's becoming more and more weak when it comes to crucial shots that is why we cannot see him lately making the last shot as he know himself that he's not that kind of a clutch player anymore unlike when he was much younger, like in Miami and Cleveland years where he was very dominant in almost every aspect. A package that every team in the league dreamt about.

While for Giannis, his weakness is when he gets a double team or even triple team to defend him but that will also benefit the team because it leaves the other players in the open. They just need to make sure that in every instances like that, they are able to convert it into a points.
1308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - November on: September 03, 2023, 02:09:53 PM
For Tapales, I als do agree with @bisdak40, he was a nobody, not even some Filipinos who follow boxing might have known his name. It was just when he beat Murodjon Akhmadaliev, a fighter that is in line with Inoue and some says that he has a chance to beat the Monster. But Tapales out pointed him in their fight that no one really saw it.
Yeah, imagine asking a Filipino boxing fan and not knowing Marlon Tapales. I actually experienced it here with my neighbors, they don't know who Tapales is. I mean I understand, he ain't like the superstar of the Super Bantamweight division until a path to being a champion opened up for him.

Regarding the far odds of the two boxers that will clash in November, even if Naoya Inoue is the favorite he should be careful with Tapales.
He is now training in the US and I bet his preparation will be intense considering how dominant Inoue is. They have to increase the chance of him winning this fight and try to unify all the titles. Maybe that way the Filipino boxing fans will turn their eyes on him.
http://philboxing.com/news/story-167659.html
Quote
Tapales, accompanied by his esteemed trainer Ernel Fontanilla, is ready to embark on an intensive training regimen at the Knucklehead Gym in Las Vegas. Together, Tapales and Fontanilla will leave no stone unturned as they focus on honing Tapales' skills and devising a strategic game plan to overcome the formidable challenge posed by Inoue.
I am really curious what the game plan will be. It's not easy to find Inoue's weakness. Maybe they should also try playing the tape of his first fight against the Flash Nonito Donaire. Just one minor error on Inoue's will give them the opportunity to defeat him.

Not just Filipinos but I think every true boxing fans wasn't aware of Marlon Tapales until he shock us with that huge win and upset the then second best rank in the 122 lbs, Fulton obviously is the best that time.
Ain't gonna lie, I seriously don't know who Marlon Tapales was either, until he suddenly came up and defeated Akhmadaliev. After that, I got curious about him and looked him through because how did this man skated under the radar without us knowing who he was Grin

Thanks for the update, it's weird that he is going to the US though to train and then goes to Japan for the fight. I thought they will do their camp in the Philippines since it's closest to Japan. But it could be true that they don't want to leave no stone unturned and probably will work out with several good sparring partners to prepare Tapales for another upset journey.
The most probable reason I see why they chose to set up a training camp in US rather than in his own country is because of the fact that he will be outside of his comfortable zone and prepare harder for the fight without any obstruction. Regarding about this, we can already tell how serious he is in this fight and he knows his chances well that is why he doesn't want to take any chances because this fight is a one in a lifetime chance and not every Filipino boxer can participate in an undisputed fight.

If gambling has become a habit, then we cannot force someone easily to stop or refrain it from doing. Sometimes the best revenue for that is to educate that person so that he will never gamble without caution. That simply means that he should also gamble with his own budget, and if ever he’ll lose all his budget, then call it a day.

Students nowadays are most likely to be exposed in gambling since it’s only a one click away. And since we can’t do nothing about this as this is part of their growth on how they adopt this new revolution, at least we should learn to educate them instead and always give them reminders not to fall for gambling addiction. And that they should only gamble at a moderate level, by not compromising their studies.
1310  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A typical weekend in sport betting-Why do gamblers still do sport bets? on: September 02, 2023, 09:26:23 PM
If you are a sports lover, you will definitely find means to bet regardless of what sport it is. Sports betting is not only through skills or analysis, but it also comes with luck. That’s why even if some gamblers are not updated with the latest sports betting games, but they still try gambling through random betting because luck at some point can be quite helpful. If you think the stronger teams are mostly losing these days, then probably skills in gambling will never be prioritized but as long as there’s luck into it, gamblers will never lose their passion and hope from sports betting.
1311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is horse racing so unpopular here and a bit of extra feedback on: September 02, 2023, 08:53:01 PM
Horse racing is very popular on oldies because my uncle is still into it u til now. I think most of the forum member hanging out on gambling board are Genz or Millennials which is why they preferred the popular sports over this animal sports that is not widely available globally.

Horse racing is very hard to win since it’s betting option consists of multiple choices that more than the typical 2 option. I believe it’s very rare for a young one to have a passion on horse unless their family is involved on it or they are from the community that this sports is popular.
Probably, horse racing is not popular and is not played anymore these days because we have modern gambling games that are introduced in the gambling market. And these new games are much easier to bet or played for than betting on a horse racing which I think gamblers these days find it already old and boring. However, perhaps in some countries horse racing is still a popular game due to their yearly festivals, but here in my country, horse racing is no longer recognized or being played anymore.

~snip~

That's because the people around him will immediately say bad things about gambling and will probably set real examples of people who have experienced gambling addiction. This can be done to make people aware who have started gambling so that they can stop gambling. But if someone can control himself well and can be wise in playing gambling, it is likely that he will not listen to other people and will continue to play gambling as usual and will pay more attention to his activities properly.

Therefore, someone will choose the right person to tell about gambling, because everyone has their own views about gambling, and in my opinion, if someone plays gambling in a good and wise way, in my opinion he is a professional gambler because he has previously know how to gamble.
And what I know about professional gamblers is that they bet carefully and play calmly and relaxed so that they can control themselves when gambling and they think the move is right and don't need anyone's advice.

That will be the smartest move rather than keeping it a secret to yourself and risk getting addicted without anyone knowing. Aside from that, that someone will know if you already need some help without you telling them and we certainly don't need to share it along with a large group because in most instances, they will just share it without thinking twice. In the first place, we should be aware also about our spending habits so that we won't lose the funds that we don't intend to lose.

It's really interesting, I've never seen a topic on here talking about the history of gambling and to be honest it's always good to know exactly how gambling started in our world since we are into gambling.

I think there's still a part of the world that has known about gambling for many years and uses other valuables stuffs not necessarily money but also others like precious stones or even animals like sheep or goats.
Since we are gamblers, at least we should be aware about how gambling started and how were gambling in the ancient times. But because of modern technology, gambling scenarios started to change. Before, betting using precious stones and animals were actually observed but if ever these type of gambling still exist these days, probably those were the unmodernized countries that were not completely affected with modern technology.

Gambling addicts will definitely find ways to satisfy their gambling urge, even though with the emergence of this social tournaments. However, there is also possibility that those who want to take part on this tournament will be setting aside his gambling expenses, thus saving for a while and if lucky enough, he will get decent profits from participating. But still, since this is part of gambling, their addiction will always be there. It’s just that they spend more of their time and effort, without personal money involved. But I think if social tournaments will be prolong, probably there will be participation fee later on.

Warriors were talked about because of this, he could have the ball, go in, and dish out to Klay or Curry and that would be amazing for them, and teams wouldn't be able to collapse on Curry, since Giannis would be able to actually play good too, so everyone would have to try to stop him, if not then he will score, if they do then he will pass out to greatest shooting duo ever. Not saying that trade will happen, of course it won't but at least I can say that would be a better fit.
Like you, I also thought of that thing as well, but like you said already, him going to the Warriors is almost impossible because they don't have the assets needed to impress the Bucks front office. Giannis' worth is at least an all-star, a good role player, and at least 5 first round picks, and the Warriors don't have that. Which team has the highest chance of getting him? Thunder, Spurs, and the Knicks are the best choice since they have all the assets. This is just basing on one of the videos that I watched on Youtube a few hours ago.

Obtaining Giannis is really not that easy to make because he is an expensive asset which means that the Bucks will not certainly send him off with just a nickel, not without a few good trade package to make with so that the team can still recover after Giannis leaves the team. But that is if Giannis will also like the teams that got the right assets to swap.

In his words, we can say that he will only go to a team that have some chances to play at the championship rounds as he is not wasting his team in a team that doesn't even stand a chance in the qualifies and just because they have the means doesn't mean that they can get Giannis. If it comes to that, I won't be surprised if he will take down another contract from the Bucks so that he will end in the free agency so that the teams like the Warriors and other top teams can get him with just millions of dollars without giving some trades to any team.
1316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 - Betting and Discussions on: September 01, 2023, 02:59:52 PM
I wonder what France look like if Wembanyama played. The Spurs decided to excuse him from the national team for further development. But he and Gobert will have their chance to team up and get back their glory in the 2024 Paris Olympics. That will be the biggest basketball event and at the same time, their nation is the host. Should be fun to watch.

They will undoubtedly improve, especially considering that Wembanyama is continually training. Once he represents his country, his skills will likely see significant growth. Being the number one overall pick, he's in a different league compared to Gobert, who was a first-round pick at 27th overall in 2013. I anticipate a major improvement from him. Perhaps France will make a strong comeback in the future. I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing how Wemby performs in the upcoming regular season, and I hope he won't disappoint us.

Other than that, they could send Wembanyama to play and get some experience because FIBA is also a good experience ground to help him in the Spurs in his rookie year but I understand the Spurs when they excused him in this instance because they cannot afford if ever Wemby will get injured as he is somehow vulnerable to it specially after the fact that he is the #1 overall pick. This is their lottery and they will protect him whatever it will cost them.
1317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crawford vs Canelo-Charlo winner (no date yet) on: September 01, 2023, 01:37:54 PM
If it happens two years from now when Canelo is in the twilight of his career then I'll go for Crawford but if this happens in May of next year then no doubt I'll go for Canelo as Crawford is just too small for him, I mean he needs at least 2-3 fight to prove his worth on the 168lbs division. I think he is just calling Canelo as this is a money fight for him of the latter took the bait.

We might want to note that Canelo is younger than Crawford. Canelo is almost 3 years his junior. If this dream fight happens two years from now, Canelo is indeed approaching the twilight of his career. Crawford, on the other hand, is already approaching 40. Age is probably one of the reasons why Spence was running away and delaying his fight against Crawford. That's an off-topic opinion, though.

It would be an amazing moment in boxing's history if this fight takes place, especially if the two remain on a winning streak when the match happens. Crawford will, however, prove his worth in 154 first. If he proves to be effective and natural in this weight, and wins fights, then he could allow his body to continue gaining weight and reach 168. But he shouldn't be confronting Canelo right away. It would be the same process. If he proves that he can handle the weight naturally, without compromising his movements, quick responses, and so on, then he could face Canelo.

As to their physical stats, they're pretty much the same. Crawford has, of course, a longer reach though.

Canelo struggled against Mayweather, who is a good defender and quicker as well. Probably, Crawford sees the weaknesses of Canelo, as although he has power, he can be outboxed, as was evident in the fight against Bivol. The match might be even in the eyes of the fans. Although Crawford is not fighting in his comfortable weight, given his achievements, his undefeated record, and the hype generated when he beat Spence in a one-sided beatdown, all these factors will come into play.

For now, Canelo still has business to take care of. It might be a bit early to discuss, but at least we can have an open discussion about the possibility of this fight happening. I'm sure both camps are eager to make this happen, as it could be the biggest payday for both fighters. Who knows, they might even surpass the PPV revenue generated by Mayweather in his fights.

As fans, it would really satisfy us to see the best fighters in the ring, with no excuses or dodging. They will prove who is the best.

That's quite possible because two of the big names in the industry will soon face each other in a boxing fight but I just have one question though, is Canelo Alvarez interested in this fight as well or at least considering for it? I know he's quite busy as of the moment because Charlo isn't someone who is easy to defeat but we should know as well to see the likelihood if this fight even if it's still too early to discuss.

The only response of Canelo is that he can't go down in weight anymore, so obviously no more catchweights for him if ever he will fight Crawford because he knows that Crawford is at 147 lbs.
But the good thing is that Crawford is willing to go up at 168 lbs, so there is no catch weight for Canelo. One thing that Canelo says though is that if he ever beat Crawford, will he get the recognition? Or will his critics says that he just beat a 147 lbs fighter here.
So there's a lot on this fight for Canelo, his legacy and on Crawford, to be one of the greatest for jumping 3 weight class because as we have said, no one ever did that before.

That's not really the reason because Canelo himself knows that whatever he do, may it be good or bad for his image, he will always have a critic and say something like if ever he defeats Crawford in the process. It's not that he is still not accustomed to what this industry do to a boxer and he doesn't even care about that because he came all this way to become one of the legends.

Furthermore, for me, the real case is that Canelo knows his present situation and that surgery he got might've put him in vain because he is now viewed as a trophy that anybody else can have. That is why he is making a stand and will not adjust to any weight class because if he's the target then let them come to his own division.

And just like what is said, that doesn't matter right now because whether they like it or not, Canelo is already done in cementing his legacy as he already dominated and has been the undisputed champion and him being active now is just his move to collect as much money as he can while his name still makes some noise in the industry. With of course still taking precautions to avoid losses as much as possible during the process of collecting huge paychecks.

I would say that gambling in general should be done with caution. Because if you fall into gambling addiction, your way of thinking will be a lot different. And worst is you could end up ruining your own life because you never had the chance to make it big with gambling. However, know that there are still some exceptions to it. By being a responsible gambler, you know how to balance your life with your career and gambling hobbies. And even exceed the expectations by bringing a lot of profits into your finances and make your family live comfortably. That is, if you only know how to manage your time and finances without breaking your budget, or without making your family time and relationship being compromised.

So, I'm working on casino reviews and sometimes I'll be forced to reach out to a specific casino for information. Especially, when it's not listed on the casino website.

But in 9 out of the 10 situations, I've noticed that these customer supports don't know anything about the website, but why are they working there?

Just today, I was asking the support of a casino why the sportsbook section on the casino website is redirecting me to another platform and he doesn't understand what I mean.


So please if you're a casino owner here, hire people who understand simple things about gambling. This is not good for business at all!
Most of the time, casinos hire customer support through some agencies that have offices in poor, developing countries and offer customer support service to these companies. Most of the time, these customer supports don't even speak English or other foreign language(s) at even B1 level, so, they don't even understand well what you ask them. So, yeah, that's the case and I don't understand why but these companies don't care about the quality of the service their customer supports provide. The most important thing for them is that they have so called customer support available that worth 1/10 of what they had to pay if they were to hire in their own country.
That’s very odd. How could these casinos grow their customers if the customer support itself is not worth of the customer’s time. Probably, the owner or the management of the casino has oriented them before they start their job, but since they are poor in English or any foreign language wherein customers often use, then they can’t tell or even understand the problem from the start. Well, that’s really bad for their business. However, if I am the owner of a casino, I will make sure that those people involved in customer supports are also regular gamblers so that they can easily relate to the problems asked by the customers or players.

I dislike gamblers who are very confident to win such games, so they tend to bet high and expect huge profits. But when they start losing, they end up blaming someone for the losses they incurred when in fact it's their own gambling habit and attitude that made them lose their money. Gambling always depends on pure luck, so at least they should know that they're not just lucky enough to win and never blame others for their unexpected losses.
