OP I think you should work on your presentation here because that is what attracts prospective clients to you. To be honest there is nothing tangible in what you have presented here for the members to see as it is not convincing.

You did not mention your fee, medium of payment, currency, no o escrow no nothing and you want members to slide in your telegram. For your information people would think you are a scammer and would not want to deal with you.

Sometimes I wonder if people really do know what they are doing. This post got me  thinking if the OP really got the years of experience he or she claimed from the post as I have read.  Scanty introduction with no tangible thing to hold unto. No  portfolio to back up claims, OP is not ready for business because I see no sign of seriousness from this post.
OP forgot this is a public platform and first approach matters because that is what project you to the masses and here you are making a very big error of not putting up your past works for easy viewing so that your prospective clients would derive satisfaction from what they have seen and possibly pushing further with you to having a deal. I suggest you edit this post with your past experience to back it up.

I think OP was too hasty to make such half announcement. I checked OP profile and he was last seen online August 05, 2023, 08:46:11 AM and till now no full announcement has been added. Maybe we should give OP more time if it happens they are still working on the website to finalise their casino so that they would be launching instantly but I will suggest they do a review before commencement so that bugs and other discrepancies would be spotted out so wouldn't encounter any challenges in the course of Launching their casino.

For crypto, the government has the authority to ask every crypto exchange to implement KYC so that no money laundering activities occur there, but for casinos or the gambling industry, KYC is actually carried out not only to suppress money laundering but also to suppress gamblers who commit acts of fraud or deception.
Everything is a business and none of the business owners is willing that what is being built has to be destroyed because there are irresponsible persons such as criminals who launder money to remove traces or even those who like to cheat.

Nowadays the gambling industry is growing very rapidly and there is more and more money circulating in it, that's why some people want to take advantage of it for their personal benefit.

Now government had their influence on the crypto and the gambling industry.The government which had huge knowledge in the crypto had started to legalized the cryptocurrency and allow the people to use cryptocurrency and make them to pay taxes.The government made the kyc mandatory to all the traders and implement this way of taxation.Like this the government made the gambling website must allow the users to do kyc to avoid of money laundering.Gambling based on crypto was growing and reach all over the world.

The government really have their eyes on crypto gambling platforms because they believe huge revenue are generated from them and another factor is  that crimes are perpetrated through them hence their focus there to control their activities. They brought KYC and made it compulsory so that everyone transacting would be detailed for further surveillance and possibly under
their  raiders.
Lastly, since it happens that huge revenues are generated from casinos, the government tool advantage of it to tax them in paying tax to the government as it pleases them. These are the reasons why they brought up these stringent policies so they could control the casinos.

What makes you think that a person who is addicted to gambling won't just go to the settings and unblock the websites they use to gamble? The urge to gamble can make an addicted gambler do anything only to get access to gambling if they have got money, so this wouldn't really be able to stop them from gambling in my opinion. It might be useful if someone isn't yet addicted and they want to reduce their screen time with gambling because they can control the urge.

A gambler who has become a heavy addict can only be stopped if someone else helps them get out of it, maybe reduce their access to their devices or make them get access to only a limited amount of money and keep the rest somewhere safe so that they can use them later when needed.

This is same as you talking about self discipline and restrictions. Self discipline plays a big role in ones life by helping an individual to controlling their excess towards something and gambling is not exempted from it. As you can see, what I have said is not a difficult one for anybody who wants to limit or stop their gambling habits. Lots of people have contributed to this in one way or the other on how addicted gamblers can minimise their gambling habits and back to their normal self but I believe doing this takes a gambler who is prepared to do the needful in limiting their gambling lifestyle.

So therefore, if anyone is ready to limit their gambling habits, they could do just this small exercise so as to achieve their aim without any bias. It would not cost anything to just follow the steps coupled with self discipline and consistency.

Yeah with determination and willingness it's doable but if there's none that self-discipline will serve as a word and nothing will be change, it's easy saying that with this or with that you can accomplished something but in reality, it's hard to practice what is easy for us to say, but if you are into this problem specifically with gambling addiction where denial still inside you, that self-discipline thing will be tougher to practice from time to time, to the point that you will mostly exceed and suffer than the numbers that you will manage to stop and use your set limitations.

Determination is a thing of concern when it comes to situations like this. People who decides to take such bold step in self restrictions to curtail their excesses need be determined and not just a mouth talk. When one says I am gonna stop this then what they have said should be their watch word as it is not all about just talking but actions.
If one really want to stop gambling, it is up to them to discipline themselves to what ever measures or procedures they have put in place to follow on achieving their goals. It is nice they be able to do so as to achieve maximum results otherwise all they have done is a waste of time.

I completely agree that for the convenience of site users, it is worth making a standard block of information on frequently asked questions and answers to them in such cases.  And of course, gradually build up and unify such information.  But of course so that it doesn't get monstrously big and long and intricate.  This work will further reduce the labor costs of employees for correspondence and the same type of user responses, which, by the way, most users hate and treat them as responses from bots.
 This immediately completely spoils the image of a very good project.
Truly, if the frequently asked questions option is available, the stress on the customer care service for assistance and support would be reduced a bit because of the information contained in the FAQ option. Most visitors who are not patient enough to wait to get or hear from the customer service ends up bad mouthing them. As a result of this they would end up loosing more traffic so I'm sure OP is aware of this so OP would need much funds to sustain the project.
However, from my experience of communicating with support, I must say that the block of standard questions and answers, the creation of which is quite laborious, if it is really informative, it really reduces the load on support staff.  But it is quite difficult to make such a section qualitatively. 
In addition, the standard behavior of a player in the event of a specific question of interest to him will eventually lead to his contacting a real support employee.  This happens to me in 80% of all support calls.  So it is quite possible that we are considering a section that will only partially solve the problem of mass appeals, but it is important simply even for reasons of increasing the prestige and sophistication of the site itself.  In general, a reasonable middle ground is needed here in terms of labor costs and the effectiveness of such a section of the site.


Most cases being reported to customer care service are sometimes very necessary but I believe with the FAQ, some cases have a minimal chances of being ignored  as they are very much important to both parties as be there might be some discoveries within which will need urgent attention. Possibly might be a bug discovered buy a member or otherwise. So it is very much important customer care service is functional and running.

Most times a customer care discoveries are of good effects to the casino because what ever they report to the team would be investigated and results being presented. Thus this result helps the casino to put up with things on their own end to deliver maximum satisfaction to their clients who patronise them.
These are the reasons why a casino should not ignore or abuse the customer care service so as to be on track for good service delivery as it is the major force of the casino.

I noticed this unique merit and activity record on Sir Royse777 profile this past weekend.
First of all you should present the images in correct format and crop them so they fit to the stats efficiently and secondly I don't see anything special in 3198 numbers unless it's 2 more to make it round figure to 3200 but still you should edit the image so it embeds properly without looking absurd.

Thank you for the observations. I think the image size fits in better, clear and easily viewable to all now. 3198 and 2198 looks quite cool as I think it is rare to see such number reflect at that same time similar but just a difference of 2 and 3 at the beginning of it all. Its nice though and I see it as unique.
1508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can someone explain how $1000 btc turned to $100 in wallet on: August 07, 2023, 04:14:26 PM
OP at first, it is likely the sender made two transaction at the same time possibly you were to receive something lesser from the sender than you expected or that amount was a wrong input by the sender and maybe they corrected it by using the RBF (replace by fee) option so that your transaction does not scale through that figure and I believe after the other transaction must have been confirmed then the sender likely allowed yours scale through by also using the RBF option if that is the case.

All these are just speculations though but it would be nice you put up the transaction ID so we could see for ourselves and be able to ascertain what really happened otherwise everything you read hear would be a guess work with no proof of action. If you can as well tell us the time of the day it happened then we could also tell what happened.

1511  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Possibility of bitcoin adoption by countries when world fin. giants does. on: August 05, 2023, 09:40:15 PM
Using bitcoin for loans,I don't think this is a better way to promote bitcoin adoption. The volatile nature of bitcoin makes it very risky for it to be used as loans. You should also put into consideration that bitcoin is limited in supply and it is not controlled by the government, which will make it impossible for any country government to think of such.

Imagine that Country A borrowed a loan of 30BTC now that the price is 29k+ and to pay back in two year time with an interest of 5%. This is a suicide mission because it will be a cheat on the borrower or the lender. No need of the loan stuff, if only the big countries i.e the second world countries all legalise cryptocurrency then there will be a massive adoption of bitcoin because,almost all the third world countries depends on the second world countries to survive. So the third world countries will only copy from the footstep of the country that supports them financially.

From what I could understand here is that  OP is looking at the situation whereby the adoption of Bitcoin by these world financial giants as mentioned can pave way for the fast and speedy adoption of Bitcoin by nations who go to them for financial assistance. Since they have powerful influence and strong monetary policies it could be of help to make them adopt it smoothly without  any challenges.

I also was looking at your points though but do you not think these financial giants adopting Bitcoin alone will cause a fast increase in Bitcoin value which would drive massive adoption of Bitcoin in various nations. Looking at the loan aspect, Bitcoin can be loaned based on its volume and percentage interest could as well be in Bitcoin volume calculations as well. If possible,  the calculations should be in two ways; the monetary value and volume. This I think can be considered when giving out loan to nations interested in Bitcoin as loan.
1512  Economy / Services / Re: BC.GAME Account LVL 23 2.800$ Locked BCD on: August 05, 2023, 10:54:33 AM
Lately, there have been a lot of complaints about BCgame Casino. Accusations of scams and neglect. Possibly many people have had one issue with them in one way or another other and there has not been much coming up from them. I was curious when I first saw this thread and I had to see for myself.OP seems to be a newbie that calls for more concern as to why Open is putting up such an account on sale looking at the amount of money the account is holding. So I asked myself what must have been the major reason why OP wants to sell the account. If it takes real account holders time to get customer attention without even getting their problem solved is it an account bought that one would be able to resolve any problem encountered?

Lastly, just as one of the previous posters had said, what is the tendency that the account is a hacked account and the hacker trying to lay it off by coming here to sell it? Anybody buying should thread with caution.





1513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: *** Exploring Unique Advertising Opportunities in the Gambling Sector*** on: August 04, 2023, 08:54:17 PM
Government did the kyc because of the anti money laundering act. So they want to keep watch of every transaction from every financial institution in their jurisdiction so as not to loss and keep anything suspicious on track. Be it casino, sportbook etc. As for casinos that claim kyc free, I  think that is just a stunt to gain traffic to their site and to gain more members because online gamblers prefer a kyc free casino to preserve their identity so those casino takes advantage of it to hold them down and when they win big, withdrawal is always a problem and they start demanding for kyc and if they are scammers they run away with gamblers funds.

Truly all licensed casino from the government demand for kyc as that is a criteria which they would require to do before admitting any gambler to opening an account with them and  operating as a gambler so as not to violate the country policies.
This is a must to know so that we won't end up blaming the casino. It's not their fault but they are only following orders and if not, something bad could happen on them. There might truly be a casino who are KYC free. What about the decentralized ones? But in order to be sure, we should make it a habit to read their terms and conditions. 

A casino can promise to not have a KYC but it does not mean gamblers will now be crazy and head over them. There will still be doubts and I believe that many players will sacrifice their KYC only to have a peace of mind. I mean they know that the website is not scam and it has a strong security to prevent the hacker from accessing it.

It is true that casinos are being  compelled by the government to do a KYC for their members so as to know who they are and also to be on the safe side.

Currently, I do not think there are much KYC free casino and if there are, they are just wanting to get members to register with them so as to get the traffic but when it is time for withdrawal that is when you will know if truly they are KYC free or not but I think if a casino is wanting to be KYC free they should stand by their words and if they are doing KYC then it is a different game than to tell people that they are KYC free and at the entire end they take back their words and begin to do to the contrary.

5% of our net income is quite good amount to gamble and yes you are right that 5% of our income makes us a disciplined gambler which means if we steady to gamble that amount then we won't loss big amount of money and we don't have problem for our daily needs it because the 95 % of our income are budget for our daily needs so the existing  5% is for our happiness that can make a money if we have our luck in our side.
5% of income is bigger than annual interest rate from banks in many nations. It is very big amount if you want to use part of income for gambling and I think the amount should be smaller than 5%.

Not only because it is bigger than annual interest yield but it is also because you will likely lose the amount by gambling. But gambling is addictive and what will you do next after losing first 5% of income? Using another 5% of income to bet again? Repeat it a few times and you will reach to like 20% or 30% of your income and your life will be broken.

I would like to limit the amount to 1% of income for gambling.

That percentage is way too big though  and there are some people who it means nothing to but  on a normal, that percentage is too much an amount to put in for gambling. Loosing such amount in gambling is not worth it and makes no sense as some little percentage from that could be able to sort out some other activities.

Just as you have said, it is a repetitive occurrence which not need to be taken for granted unless it is an addicted gambler taking such a resolution in pursuit of wins and ends up loosing more than expected.

I support your idea of possibly using 1percentage of your income because there are no minimum betting limits in some casinos and there are some games you can bet little amount as well so one can be able to fit in without any challenges or denial if only they have gone through the verification process successfully.

What a wreckage. So sorry he had to go through as such experience. This is why it is advised to properly look into your wallet to confirm address before conducting any transaction. Ok t does not cost anything to open both application or where ever you want to copy your wallet from for your own safety.

No matter what it takes me i copy my wallet directly from the source. I do not  rely on previous transaction to copy wallet again I make sure to copy directly so I do not make any silly mistake. Sometimes laziness is what causes such big mistake.

Possibly, there is tendency that someone close to him did that to him if not how come  they sent such attack knowing that he copies wallet from previous transaction without proper confirmation. I am just curious how he could just make such mistake looking at the amount involved in the transaction.
1516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: August 03, 2023, 10:14:54 PM

An addiction is something someone has to discipline himself on and one fail to do so then every other methods is just like a set back strategy for the main time.

That is it, it is either you pull yourself out if you want to stop or you are there. It is a personal decision to take and not by delimiting yourself from viewing casino apps. There are people who have worked on their emotion to stop but because they are not really serious, they are still struggling with it but some also have put themselves to stop finally. It is like a decision you take to stop smoking and other illicit activities like drugs, you have to put effort to stop it if you want at least by looking at the negative effect on you.

Truly self discipline matters if one must do away with an act which they are no longer convenient with. Do you not think disabling gambling sites on your browser settings could help added to your own personal decision?  Even if you are always online for the fact that you already have that features active on your gadget, that would help you maintain your balance and you will not be able to access such site  as  you have planned.

Crypto was initially design to be an anonymous platform with ones privacy intact but now the reverse is the case. Actually, it was the crypto exchanges that were held responsible by buy the government to enact the KYC policies which was followed and it has been a regular norm with the crypto exchanges now that every one member must undergo a KYC before they transact. Even at then, there are limits for verified and unverified account holders on Crypto exchanges based on your level of KYC accessment with the exchange with limits members to some certain amount of withdrawal.

With these measures, withdrawals are always tracked easily but the more the government of press, the more new means are implored by people to escape the KYC measures and as you have said, I would not doubt the fact that black market would be their alternative means or source of transportation.
But along with the development of crypto and the exchange business and other businesses, the government is suspicious of money laundering activities using crypto so the government is trying to find out who are the people who use crypto in exchange, gambling and other businesses. The government doesn't want to lose a moment. It can be used to track down people who do illegal business because it could potentially lose huge profits for the country.

Exchange or gambling businesses seem to know already the account characteristics of someone involved in illegal activity so the owners of these businesses may have started to suspect the movements of the perpetrators of the illegal activity. Business owners will immediately ask them to do KYC to find out the background of the account owner. And if they are suspected of having anything to do with illegal activity, they can immediately report the results to the government.

Truly the government is always on the track of account holders and you know they know themselves but one thing I believe is that the government knows all the money launderers in their various countries, they know those who indulge in nefarious act and would not go after them but are ready to trouble these organisations such as casinos, exchanges etc just to get revenue from them all in the name of keeping track of account holders. Even the casino owners knows this too. They know accounts of money launderers and others but sometimes they just disguise themselves and pretend not to know as to get their pockets.

Very funny though but some one created a thread about this cartoon which he saw on YouTube past months ago. The one thing I noticed about this  is that it arouses one ability to being curious about something. In this case we are talking about Bitcoin and Bitcoin is a new technology which is still gaining attraction. If one sees the flyer and reading it, one would be curious to ask around or quietly do their due diligence to learn more about Bitcoin.
I think this would work in some places not everywhere. Like in my country, this type doesn't work here. They would think it is misleading and try their possible best to avoid such.
1519  Economy / Reputation / Re: Banned Accounts and their Merit Status. on: August 03, 2023, 07:57:44 PM
From what I could see here is that merit are rewards for a good contributions to the platform. It is a kind of a thank you for a job well done here. It also determines ones forum rank and as such very important on the platform. So based on your curiosity and to the best of my knowledge, merit are given to merit sources to distribute to members who are deemed fit to have it and as such every one member can distribute it accordingly to everyone who deserves it too.

Merit I think are not minted. Possibly, they are just some kind of distributive data in digits as they have no maximum or minimum supply in existence. They are given out by Theymos to merit sources to do their work and that makes it easier for everyone due to receive.

Since there is every tendency that merit is not minted, there is every possibility that it could be extracted from banned account but I don't think that would be necessary as it is clearly stated as uploaded by you OP. So Theymos distributing it is a good one to meet up with the activities on bitcointalk platform.
