1481  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: May 26, 2023, 10:28:58 PM
Changing of terms and conditions without notifying the users or gamblers is normal with online gambling websites? Then when you did something wrong or about to withdraw your money they will tell you that you don't read their terms and conditions, and you start arguing with them until you decide to read the ToS again and you find out that it's different.

Some gambling websites consist of wicked owners that willingly plan to defraud their users using the ToS against them, or is this normal? Have such happened to anyone on this forum before?
If it is stated that devs has the power to do so in the first place, then that's just fine. Problem here is gamblers or users of a platform not even reading the ToS but I bet most of us do, not only in gambling platform but to almost evrything that has it. We tend to just click agree. But on my end, I have no big expectations if I instantly agreed a ToS such that if anything bad happen in contrast with what I have agreed, I will just move to other platform. But ofcourse it won't be the same to all things ofcourse especially it money is involved.
it will make the case become more hard for the players since the casino already stated that and whatever their wish to, they will change the T&c to suit and favour themselves.
But I have not seen any casino that does that yet and including it in the terms of service will discourage potential players from using such casino.
As stated above, they can not do this. They can't simply change their terms of service overnight to win a dispute against one or some of their customers. A scam casino may do it but a reputable one will never do it. Besides, as I said above, even if they introduce some changes to their ToS, the changes aren't supposed to have a retro-active effect. So, it's not going to change anything.
ToS indeed should be something which is absolute but as I have said above, there are policies open for amendment which are sometimes mentioned in ToS, and that is to make changes with perhaps fees, if it is needed. Most of the time, this could be seen with unregistered gambling sites and with licensed ones, policies are fixed. Also, not all changes are subject for fraudalent behavior, some are for the platform itself.
1482  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a Gambler and a Die-Hard Fan of a Club Would you Bet Against your Club on: May 26, 2023, 03:40:56 PM
If you're an avid fan you'd more likely go with a do-or-die but if you are just into gambling and winning, you'd be biased with the other team if they have the bigger chance to win. It all depenxs to the gambler's mindset.
I think it will depend on our fanaticism for the club because if we want to use the moment to our advantage, we will probably bet against your club, especially if our club's opponents are better than ours. It would be a loss if we chose our club when the opponent was stronger.

But some people will stay loyal and not bet against them. And some just watch the game and don't gamble because they don't want to see that loss. I don't know about people, but if it were me, I would rather not bet and not watch it because it hurts to see our club lose.
Neither are wrong to do so. Not all gamblers are just seeking for profit and some are just supporting their biased teams regarless of the outcome. On my end, whenever I am not assure of the odds of winning, I tend to just watch and avoid betting. Indeed profit is important but being a fan is another thing. Atleast entertainment will be fulfilled but if you are interested to gamble, then selecting a team would be fine to do so even if it contrasts with your initial expectations.

1483  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why choosing instant withdrawal casinos on: May 26, 2023, 03:20:19 PM
To those who are seeking for such kind of platform they might be confident of their accounts; that no one would be able to access it other than themselves. But personally, I'd be more okay with casinos with KYC which would somehow give me a better assurance that I'd be the only one to withdraw my funds or winnings. Devices could be easily stolen and accounts can be possible to accessed once other people have the opportunity to do so. KYC would somehow take time but U'd be more okay with that if it means better security.
The answer is easy. We don't have to wait too long to be able to receive the winning money we have won. And we don't need to play the money to get more money, preventing us from losing more money. The casino shouldn't take too long to process transactions from members who want to withdraw money. But each casino applies different rules, so in your case, they may limit the number of withdrawals each member makes in a day. And we don't want to see our withdrawal will be completed in a few days, so we have to make sure that the casino gives its support to those of us who want to withdraw the money. But if the casino takes an hour to process the transaction, it may depend on the busy network needing extra time.
It is not only with convenience on withdrawing thr cunds but also with securing a gamblet's account. We will never know but there will alwaysbe a tendency for our device to be stolen or accessed by other people.
1484  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trade altcoins during the bull run or just hodl? on: May 25, 2023, 11:57:53 PM
If you already have holdings before the bullrun, much better to just hold until prices decline. Trading might just yield to losses given that market prices are abnormally moving sideways during such trend. The market price won't continuously and consistently move upwards but with high volume. Meaning, after increase, sudden dump will follow before it again increases. Bullrun is often misunderstood; to many people they think that a price of $1 will be 200 in a single snap but in reality it won't. Engaging to trading would put your asset at risk because of high market price volatility and volume. Which I think why holding firm is a more profitable scheme. Indeed trading would generate bigger gains but as well as losses.
1485  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: STAGNATION OF BITCOIN PRICE FOR WEEKS on: May 25, 2023, 11:33:04 PM
The price move sideways in preparation, more likely, to either pump or dump. But I guess the price is more likely to fall this time due to CME Gap around $21k. Once the market price breaks the barrier or resistance around $24.8k, then this may happen. Another thing is if the market would be again manipulated by big investors which could trigger an uprise movement. We can see this with ARPA wherein the price is not falling continuously and is coming back toits peak many times while the market price of Bitcoin is still down. Given that there's no certainty with its possible action, much better is for us to wait until it break aither upper or lower resistance.
1486  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do not be pulled by the hype of meme coins on: May 25, 2023, 11:03:37 PM
Meme coins are profitable investing upon its release or if possible before its release(depends on the potential of that particular meme coin). Not all the time, the msrket price would move upward the moment it is listed which would be a risk, the counterpart could also happen. If you did not manage to engage with presale, then think of engaging once the token is listed. If the market price have already 'peaked' then avoid buying with expectations of a higher market price. Most of the time the price would fall in an instant and would be hard to make a recovery. Meme coins have no utility therefore, its price sustainability would be difficult as well. Even with bullruns, the market price, due to huge decline, is not getting back to ATH unlike with major tokens of this market.
1487  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 2024 halving less than 1 year away on: May 25, 2023, 10:32:37 PM
The halving has indeed been proven several times to make pump prices and of course next year it can become an ATH record again, to reach a new record price of course this year must be closed positively or close to recovery which is around $55k, if at the end of the year the price can reach $55k then when the halving will easily up to $100k.
Several? What's notable is only the previous one because of the huge price increase way back 2017 if I remember the year correctly. Also it won't be guaranteed that same thing would happen, it is just the idea of the previous one. Familiar of the ETH fork after that? Nothing much happened. Indeed Bitcoin and Ethereum are different currencies but both are the top cryptos in this industry so we may have the same expectations. With that, why is there a difference with the result? I think it is because of several factors during the halving; economic situation or state and other existing problems which may affect the demand as well for this industry. Therefore, we should still manage our exoectations on this anticipation 'coz anything could happen either good or bad.
1488  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My mistake was making my involvement with Bitcoin public on: May 25, 2023, 09:58:51 PM
There is always a man in the family who believe they are the smartest, I have an uncle who is currently the most successful one in the family, maybe that's why he is behaving this way, he knew my involvement with crypto and Bitcoin, and after the crash into bear market he called me and said ..

Are you still into Bitcoin? You need to find something else to do, Bitcoin will fail soon because there is nothing that can take away the money printing machines, the government will keep printing money because they like been the printer, they can't print Bitcoin that's why it will fail, stop living a dream and do something good with your life before it's too late.

At first I got angry, because he always believe he knows the best for everyone, and I am different, I am not like my brothers that fall before his kneels every time. I replied him with this.

Why are you so into what I am doing? Why did you take this so serious than anything else? You have never showed concern about me, I have never asked you for help and you fulfill it, if Bitcoin fails it's fine for me, and Bitcoin was never created to kill Fiat in the first place, it was created to support people like me, because no one wants to support people like us but they want to pretend they do.. Fiat is Centralized and Bitcoin is Decentralized, it's for the people and the community, it's freedom and a perfect home 🏠. I can't hate something that have helps me so many times uncle.

Have I said something too harsh? He took this personal and report me to my eldest brother, my brother said I shouldn't mind, he doesn't know that my brother is now also a Bitcoin investor, my mistake was making it public, which my brother never did.

If you are still planning to get into Bitcoin, don't post anything about it in family group chat or on your WhatsApp status, this was my biggest mistake.
Well, if it is about criticism, I don't really mind. What I fear with publishing contents related to this blockchain, is to encourage some people who are close to me. Why? 'coz if anything happens then they'd blame me somehow for it even if they are the one who insisted investing. What's more likely to happen is for them to think that I have invested and therefore, profit is assured. But unfortunately, that's not how things work in this industry or to any field of investment. There would always be risk and the only thing an investor could do is to manage that risk in order to not lose that much. I am okay with sharing informations but direct encouragement is another thing, I guess.
If I'm not wrong OP should change the way he introduce bitcoin to new people. Atleast prior to introduction we should understand what kind of people we're talking with. Not everyone have the mind to accept it, when they've got good sum of fiat. Maybe thats the reason why uncle keeps saying something against bitcoin. It is always necessary to make some connect with the public regarding bitcoin. One should not expose that he's bitcoiner. We should simply introduce about the existence or while discussion happens relative to technology.
Well, for me it is okay to announce what you are doing. The consequences on the other hand is another thing which would depend to you, on how you would handle. As I've said I'm fine with other people criticizing my investments but I do get the point that some investors will take it personally and that is the case being silent is more advisable.
1489  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New trend PEPE ? Seems many projects Launching with PEPE Names. on: May 24, 2023, 11:45:22 PM
Ofcourse they are riding the hype. Same thing I have observed with NFTs having names and concepts related to 'APE', since it is one of the projects which generated huge profit. And I believe same idea goes with tokens right now which are named next to $PEPE. If you'd get with the right timing then you can make use of the advantage 'coz upon the release there would be more likely an increase but be sure to not leave your asset on idle 'coz its value would fall in an instant. If the original one is not good with long term holding then what more with its copies? Everything is controlled and dependent with market demand, and you just have to make use of it than to be too reliant with hype.
1490  Economy / Economics / Re: Why you should use spare money to invest on: May 24, 2023, 11:26:19 PM
Not a mandatory but would be helpful if you are having the desire to make it big than to just leave it resting on your wallet or banks. It could even also give you the opportunity to leave your job if if ever it would be a profitable investment. But this is not a requirement, just an option. Some people are fine with just saving their money for a long period of time.
The spare money you're talking about is it your savings or just idle money, if is the latter, I will use it because in the next 3 years that same money will be the same in face value but may have diminished in potential value, after three years of investing such money in bitcoin I know I will have a good investment.
What's pyshing away some people from this idea is the risk of losing. Not all people could afford this possibility which is why they are choosing to just secure their money even if its face value would be the same. On the other hand, downside of just daving is for the money to end up just being spent and to not be bigger for years unless you'd add up an amount from your salary.
1491  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mr Beast’s house robbed of everything except for bitcoin on: May 24, 2023, 10:34:25 PM
Some of you may have seen this clip before, and I’m assuming a good amount of you know who Mr Beast is (if not he’s a highly followed social media “influencer” I guess you could say, but an actually cool/good guy who gives back a lot to people).

Here he talks about how his house was robbed, but the idiot robber just passed by his Pc which had a piece of paper sitting next to it that said “public and private keys” right on it lol. He laughs at what morons they were. Reminds me of the time my car was robbed of about $10 in change but they left my $600 radar detector and $2000 dvd player just sitting there lol.

Lesson here, not all robbers are this stupid, hide your keys!

https://youtube.com/shorts/rtDFx-U2IJU?feature=share
Not stupid but are just not aware of things. Fortunately, the robber is not that computer literate or an avid follower of him 'coz if the robber is, for sure he would know what to really steal. But it is indeed true, digital wallet would be only prone to the owner itself forgetting the private keys and/or missing the device wherein assets are being held; it won't be easily stolen or accessed. Same thing with bank accounts I think, they just have different access features.

He should just be thankful that what happened did not go to worse such as stealing more than half of his wealth in that instance. Should be a lesson for him to improve the security of his house to not be easily accessed by outsiders.
1492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Crypto coin Do You Gamble with the Most? on: May 24, 2023, 02:13:44 PM
Just like others, I prefer to use stable coins. Reason?, Avoid guilt. Using volatile cryptos would put me on guilt especially if the market price increases and happened that I've lost my capital. It would somehow leave me an impression of a double loss. Atleast with stable cryptos, price would remain as is. If I would be losing $800 in a single day, it would remain the dame unlike with $800 worth of btc perhaps, which could be $1k or more if I choose to hold. It won't  be on a literal basis but the idea is to just lose an amount as is and no other potential of earning profit. But I do get the idea that to other gamblers, using other cryptos, even if volatile, would cost them less with transaction fees which could really be a pro for them.
1493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been threaten to stop gambling on: May 24, 2023, 01:44:59 PM
One thing is hiding his profit but there's also this dide that his wife might be scared of her husband being addicted into gambling. But regarding being hideous,  if they are struggling financially, then I think she has the right to know that he won; not to necessarily disclose all of his winnings. But I do get the point that he might be protecting his funds especially if he knows that her wife would use all of it not unless the husband is just greedy of his profit, but that's his rights tho', especially if it is soley his funds which helped him. We just all have our own reasons but I'd probably be hideous as well especially if I'm providing enough for the household. Not because you're married, it would already be a reason for you to share funds; that would depend on your set up as married couple.
1494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker coming to stake.com in the near future ! on: May 24, 2023, 12:37:45 PM
I have seen the best trusted publications for the stake.com site , what if I could be Excited to be quite honest is that they can put a game Function to play pvp , there is no other way that might interest me, because I have entered many casino sites and the poker they offer is the same, only they change the way they Present it, but that is something that has not Changed at all , there are no Live tournaments , there are no indications that it is Another way of playing, the only casino that i have seen that has this feature is betnomi and it is full of people on the Forum.

^Dont forget that Stake.com has its own forum too, that s probably a potential that there will be more players in live poker.
This is good news and I really like poker games since then, probably I will try to play there and open an account if this will happen. Player to player game in poker is a good one not against on the house edge. I hope this is not only a rumor and Eddie will launch the poker game as soon as possible.
Stakes is more known with sports betting but additional games would be more entertaining especially for gamblers who usually jumps from one game to another. In such case, they won't need to move to other platform just to play poker. I hope other gambling games as well will be added. But I cannot blame those  stake players who'd still play with other poker sites 'coz there are differences and for an instance bonuses and rewards unless stake will offer likewise. Good platforms would adapt with fellow competitors for sure in order to sustain their 'position' or reputation in this industry as one of the most popular ones.
1495  Economy / Gambling / Re: Help us to choose a bonus for a review campaign! on: May 24, 2023, 11:33:29 AM
You guys may choose to reward the participants either to pay them in btc or other token, or to give like a referral bonus or in game token. I think it would be better for both sides if the reward will be the platform's token in order for players to make use of it in the site and for gambling site ofcourse since the rewards will be somewhat returned to them than to just be taken away such as if the payment is in usd or btc based. If it would be in form of btc as a regular payment, then expect non gamblers would also participate just for the reward and that may conflict the reliability of the reviews 'coz it will just be a constructed review and not experienced based review in the viewpoint of a gambler.
1496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigerian Father Rejects Son's Gambling Win on: May 23, 2023, 11:00:26 PM
A boy won #38,000,000 ($82340.19) with just #400 ($0.87) and when the boy brought home his win, the biological father of the boy rejected the money because it was gotten from gambling. So that makes me to think how people look or see or think of gambling. Is gambling a bad thing to do? As for me gambling is not a bad something but the individual can be bad and also the way you present yourself in the society can also tell people about your personality.

How do you see the father? Was he right by rejecting the son gambling win?

Then he should keep it. Non-gamblers won't appreciate your wins and how hard it is to win in gambling and it is somewhat a once in a lifetime opportunity for gamblers. If I were the gambler, I'd buy stuffs I want or live in my own but only if I would be able to secure a job to sustain the funds and avoid using all of it in an instant. I won't suggest just walking away with that amount 'coz it won't be enough to live for a year. The reason why I suggest moving away is because anything he would be buying from that amount would surely be a conflict to the boy's father, and that is just to avoid such thing. But what's best is for him to not even mention it in the first place 'coz for sure he knows how would his father react.
1497  Economy / Gambling / Re: BCGame Affiliate Program Issues on: May 23, 2023, 10:44:07 PM
~snip~
Most of the users aren't satisfied for the sudden change of the affiliate commission rate. BC.Game team haven't informed about it to any crypto casino review making website owners. Do you know about BTCGOSU? BC.game team hasn't decreased the affiliate commission rate for BTCGOSU. It isn't easy to gain 5k referrals in a casino. OP has a small number of referrals on BC.game. But you have a lot of referrals there, they may consider to adjust your affiliate commission rate as you are bringing a lot of users for them.
That's just how things go, if they have already many players, then what's the use of paying on the same rate for referrals. They need to atleast lessen the rate to sustain their platform and avoid overpaying the referrals. It could also be abused which would be a loss to the platform as well. But this would reflect to all players not only for the most number of referrals.
I am advertising for bcgames for a while aswell. I collected over 5000 referrals, with more then 50k commission generated.
<...>

That's pretty impressive! Congrats on that! I'm curious, how did you manage to attract such a large number of referrals? Do you have any strategies or tips that have worked well for you?

I will let you know how it worked out.

Looking forward to hearing your insights!

I have a friend who is having quite of a number for referrals. His strategy is to give atleast 10% of what he would get from referral bonus to that player he would be able to refer. It is nothing much but atleast they'd have something from it. Might as well not as effictive as with other strategies but you may consider it.
1498  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think Casinos Should Do Survey From Time To Time To Assess You. on: May 23, 2023, 09:56:59 PM
It would be a hassle. A player or gambler is the only one responsible for his/her funds rspecially regarding losses. Why? If you keep on losing and still decided to continue playing, that is your initiative whether it is greed or frustration. It is not okay to blame the site or to ask for a refund of your losses 'coz would you be still asking for it if you won? Ofcourse, not. The player was just regretting his/her decision which yield to an unfortunate result.
I don't think casinos, especially the big ones need to ask their customers if they are using a VPN, because they usually spot it themselves.
They are always chasing multi-account bonus/promotion abusers and good bettors banned or limited by them, so it's one of the first thing they check IMO.
I guess it’s not their obligation anymore, as gamblers themselves should be responsible about it. And if ask if they are using VPN, I don’t think gamblers will put theirselves into danger so might as well they should be the first one protecting their privacy, the gambling site is only next to them. Though gambling sites have also a little responsibility about it, but mostly it all falls to the gamblers themselves.
VPN as well has nothing to do with winning or losing. It is just a tool being used by some players to access a particulsr gambling site out of their region or country, and that is as well a player's initiative.
1499  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wife discovers husband's hidden Bitcoin during divorce proceeding on: May 23, 2023, 01:43:11 PM
Hi guys!
I have come across a topic here that emphasized on the need to disclose one's Bitcoin dealings and seed phrase to his/her spouse incase something bad and unexpected like death comes knocking on the door, the husband or wife can have access to the funds and claim it.

Well... This story is quite different. A husband hid his crypto assets from his wife amid divorce saga, the wife had her suspicion, then hired a forensic expert who found out that during the splitting of the property, the husband failed to declared his 12 BTC stashed somewhere in an undisclosed wallet. She's now asking that the Bitcoin be splitted into two.

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/05/20/bitcoin-in-divorce-how-spouses-hide-assets-crypto-hunters-find-them.html

Looks like some of the married folks are getting smarter... They don't want to be left in the dark, but are going out to get it themselves through crypto hunters. What's your thoughts on this?

Marriage is another thing I guess wherein there's transparency with one's fund but ofcourse it would be to the owner of an asset whether to disclose it or not. In my country, a husband has the responsibility to give financial support especially to a kid and his partner but there's no law (on my awareness) which  forces someone in a marriage to give everything he has. Not unless the other party would see it and would demand for a dhare into it, but that would be possible through verbal agreement alone and not on papers. If it is through the man's capabilities to invest then it has nothing to do with the wife unless such thing is announced to other party and demand for a portion of it. But with total possesion ofcourse it would depend to the owner whether to allow such thing or not.
1500  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: increased Youtube Gambling ads? on: May 23, 2023, 01:28:09 PM
If I'm not mistaken, ads which appear on your browser are the ones you often view or something related into such as things you often watch, also with content creators you are watching. But I have no strong basis on this one, just what I have observed 'coz such things only appeared the moment I engaged in gambling activities wherein many gambling sites are sliding to the ads.
I think it's a combination of few factors.

If you're watch a gambling streamer but it's a local streamer in your country and you're search it using your own language, it will depends if there's someone in your country paying Youtube to add his gambling ads. If there's a gambling ads and it's targeted only for your country, even you're watch gambling, you shouldn't see a gambling ads.

But if you're using English language or watch a global streamer, you will see a gambling ads.
I think this won't be a strong basis as well especially with regards to the language that you have mentioned. With regards to streamers gambling ads is not something which would appear constantly, that depends I guess with the content a streamer is making as well as his/her sponsors.
