I also like some old street and card games, but the question is how provably fair these games can/will be. I guess we all know, or at least we have seen it in some movies, how people try to exploit vulnerabilities of some gambling game and how the "house" provides themselves a higher edge, there are tricks on both sides.

The bottom line is simple, nobody can grant you a "fair online street game". Why there is no online chess gambling?
1702  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would be an ideal KYC solution? on: December 04, 2022, 12:01:17 PM
Naturally I m not against kyc and for me kyc is the best because to avoid thefts and money laundering. Besides as a gambler one thing you must do is to get your identity verification ready as those sites may request for kyc. Now why are you afraid, did you stole any funds or do some Billion dollars and why should kyc be a thing of talk or though time.

Quote
In 2010, Wachovia Bank, now part of Wells Fargo, was one of the biggest banks in the US when authorities discovered it had enabled Mexican cartels to launder an estimated $390 billion between 2004-2007

We, fair players, are at risk if we have to go through the KYC procedure in each casino and leave our personal and sensitive info on each of those sites.
KYC is full of flaws, it didn't prevent money laundering and theft before, and it won't work now in the crypto. So I don't feel that I'm "more" protected if a site has mandatory KYC, and I don't think it's in the spirit of crypto.

The ideal KYC solution is what we have now, we can play without KYC in many casinos, and as long as we are playing fair nobody will ask anything. But suspicious activities should trigger KYC. Definitely, it should be clear what is "suspicious activity" is, we all know that some sites dispute big winnings that way and don't pay them out. Just saying that someone is suspicious shouldn't be enough, but even that is a tricky part because of confidentiality they can't share sensitive info. So whom to trust in the end if we don't know everything we need to know?
1703  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How long do you think the market will take to recover? on: December 03, 2022, 05:17:23 PM
there is a small recovery happens this december as bitcoin finally broken 17k again and looking at it now? seems that there is a chance to remain this position or at least going more up for this month and the end of the year?

but how long to recover from the losses since the last ATH? then this will take long in my humble position because we knew that Halving mostly is the timing when the market make its way up.

Halving is definitely a trigger, but big things happen only in a year after halving, so I think that 2025 has the potential to be a crazy year that will bring a lot of excitement. Until halving, I don't think we will see some bigger movements from this price, in both directions, and if it happens it will have a short breath. Of course, if history repeats itself once again, and many of us think it will, at least we think there are good chances for that.

Is there an email address to contact Chris Butler?

He was active in Gosu chat on Telegram before, now he is probably active in the BC.game official group. "I Am Chris // (Only My Impersonators Ask For Money. Don’t Send.)" is/was his nick.

  -  It's fine to make an allegation on something as long as you have enough evidence to prove what you say, mate, but if it's just verbal without any proof, it will appear that you are the bad one and what you say is wrong.

You should also show any proof like in the screenshot, or your account on the gambling platform that you did something bad, as you say here.

Bit hard to make any screens and proff when you exclude people from logging in and see the social media.

To be honest, I don't understand how you got excluded, and for what reasons, on the site and their social media channels! Did you try to contact support, you can share a conversation with them... together with other important stuff, like what really happened! Full story, not like this...

And there's a special section for making accusations: Scam Accusations!

...
I think I read somewhere that people under the age of 18 still have an underdeveloped brain. So, could gambling underage affect them more? Likely yes, but even young people can be responsible. I'm not saying to send your kids out to gamble, but if the child was raised right they may gamble responsibly. That's obviously not a guarantee.

When I had 14-15 years it was pretty normal to see a group of teenagers in some little casino. But those were different times, now the laws are much stricter. Now kids are looking for someone older who is willing to place a bet for them.

Surely our brain is still underdeveloped at that age, we have just started to learn about the world around us... and surely "forbidden things" are always more interesting and much more attractive. At that age "everything" affects us more, teenager's sensitivity which gets us into various problems and because of which we all made some mistakes (smaller or larger)... so it's the time when we start learning about self-control and responsibility.

The same thing happened to many other projects... it went into oblivion. I remember this project through a fog, as well as many other projects and their coins/tokens I had. After +8 years in crypto, it's hard to remember them all... or impossible is a better term here, there were too many of them!

Without some significant updates, and with a lack of enthusiasm from developers, any project is doomed to fail. I guess that happened with Bytecoin, as with many other projects.
1707  Economy / Gambling / Re: Poker tournaments why tournaments in other games on: December 02, 2022, 07:03:44 PM
I believe the Betnomi poker tournament will come around soon if going by the usual way of operation the casino also conduct a poker tournament around this period of the year, but we must also expect to see other casinos introducing tournament for either poker or other games that players may find interesting.

But until then always participate in tournaments that are organized by reputable casinos betnomi is one of the such reputable casino for poker rounds.

If you're referring to the Betnomi poker series, I don't think we will see that again. As I wrote in their thread a few months ago, there is no more enthusiasm... It started well, some people decided to sacrifice their time to edit the spreadsheet for free (calculate points, follow every game even when they are not playing, and keep track of everything), with sponsorship the final table was more than +ev for those who qualified... Despite all the good things, there were not enough people interested!

I participated in the Betnomi poker series, and before that in the Bitcointalk poker series. The unique concept and some people made it even more amazing with additional stuff like free tickets, lottery tickets, kicking out a selected player for additional reward, and some other stuff. I don't believe we will have something similar in the future.

Just as a matter of interest... is this the token that they were going to use for Chipstars.bet? ==> https://thebittimes.com/token-CHIPS-BSC-0xa1ebe75ca488afaf0b181c2f4e09c414861ac8e2.html

Well, if it is...... then nothing is happening with the token, because there are absolutely zero transactions.  Roll Eyes

They are still offering Bitcoin (BTC) deposits, so they did not abandon Crypto currency deposits. See below :

"Every player has the ability to deposit, withdraw, and play with funds in Euro (EUR), subject to minor restrictions which may be imposed by some payment methods. Players can also optionally keep money in US Dollar (USD), Swiss franc CHF, Bitcoin (BTC)."

Source : https://chipstars.bet/payments/payment-details-policy

Ps : I think the marketing team forgot about this thread... so the mods must just close it to prevent more necro posting. They can open it again, if they are serious about Crypto currencies.  Roll Eyes

OP was Online today, so I send him a reminder of this thread. Let's hope he respond....

Edit: Oh, I made a mistake, I mixed Chips and Chipstars.

I read somewhere that Chipstars has its own token, I didn't get anything by playing, I am not sure if it works at all!

Metaspins has gambling license from Curacao. They have some kind of KYC rules and you have mentioned it in the detailed review too. But, why you written "KYC - NO" in the info part of Metaspins review?

I wanted to echo this as well, the requirements of the Curacao license is to have KYC, you can play around with the amounts when it's triggered, but there has to be a KYC.

Huge fan of BTCGosu btw, spoke with the team a few weeks ago and just now discovered this thread Smiley

I have a few deposits/withdrawals from Metaspins, without KYC. And I can't complain about speed, they are quick!

Many casinos have a Curacao license and many of them do not require KYC, it's not like it's mandatory in every casino with a Curacao license.

What still confuses me is how I can play Pragmatic without a VPN only at Metaspins and Chipstars. Pragmatic was unavailable for me, and still is, in most crypto casinos! But I can play it freely in these two mentioned... I'm not complaining, I'm good with it, just wondering where's the catch, how is that possible?
1710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: November 30, 2022, 05:33:50 PM

By the way, yes, I also had the thought that if France just allows itself some rest before the Round of 16 matches, that's how you can bet on the favorite here, I wouldn't even be surprised that France can concede and Tunisia has a real chance here, but you need to look at the starting line-up of the French and Mbappe is announced there, so it seems that they are still serious and do not consider the match with Tunisia a passing one.

In the end, the favorites lost! Big win for Australia, as I said I doubt that Denmark will wake up, and Tunisians won, not as it matters for ranking!

Crazy day today, and it's not over yet! Group C is still open, and Poland, Argentina, and Arabia can qualify in the next round, just if they play well tonight! Crazy or not, I think that Arabia can do something against Mexico tonight, and winning will grant them safe passage to the next round. While Poland and Argentina will have to fight against each other for that. I have a bet on Arabia, I think they can win, and "both teams to score" in Poland vs Argentina game.
1711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: November 30, 2022, 09:06:21 AM
Denmark might finally come to their sense and will have a great performance today. Australia only need draw & they will setup defensively and i think that's where they will lose the match.
France Should win comfortably , don't think Tunisia will give them any headache. 

Well, seems so obvious, but I still didn't place that bet... The French team secured their first place, maybe they will rest some important players and play a relaxed game. And Tunisia has some theoretical chances to pass if they win with more than two goals difference (and it's very, very hard) and draw between Denmark and Australia.

And I am not sure about Denmark, I expected more from them definitely. Can they wake up before this match? I'm not sure about that, and Australia will not give up that easily. Anyway, it will be a tough game!
1712  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I will support Elon Musk if he creates a stablecoin for Twitter on: November 29, 2022, 05:13:10 PM
Along Musk is a business man. And a brutal capitalist at that. He knows where the bread is buttered. And he know the stable coin bread is not buttered by any stretch of the imagination. So I you think that's his next line of action for Twitter, think again

Well, Elon has the means and the possibilities are somehow unlimited for him. We can speculate about his next moves, but that won't take us anywhere. Elon is an enigma and he has surprised us all too many times, in positive and negative ways.

I definitely agree that he is a brutal capitalist, and his actions are calculated to bring more profit to his company in the end.

- Do you think The Gambling Industry Is Part Of The Domino Effect That Happens In The Market?

No. It's obvious that the crypto gambling industry has nothing to do with the crypto winter or crypto exchanges going bankrupt.

Definitly no! FTX has liquidity concerns and facing allegations regarding the misuse of customer funds. Crypto winter has nothing with that, as we can see other exchanges are working fine.

Quote
- Will the industry lose the trust of gamblers if one or two casinos scammed their players by closing down and running with what
    money they have that belongs to the gamblers?

We have seen multiple cases of casinos scamming their players and/or turning into exit scams. So far, the overall trust in the crypto gambling industry hasn't been damaged that much.


You are right, but those scams can't be compared with exchanges, simply those casinos scammed people for millions of dollars and when it comes to exchanges the numbers are higher, +$100 million and in some cases billions.

Not sure if it's important, but there's always some very shady crypto casino around.

Quote
- As a gambler do you use gambling sites to store your coins like what traders are doing on exchanges?

No. That would be a really dumb thing to do.

Well, I always have some money in some casino! When we choose a casino where to play, shouldn't we have enough trust in them? We plan to make a deposit and gamble, and leaving some amount there is perfectly fine, after all, we shouldn't deposit more than we can afford to lose, it's gambling.

Quote
- What would gamblers think if a casino does not agree to show proof of money from new and old casinos

I guess that some of them will become suspicious.

Well, this is a tricky part. Many of us don't like KYC and all those regulations. If crypto casinos became fully regulated KYC will become mandatory, we will lose anonymity and all other things that make the crypto gambling world so attractive.

Fortunately, PUSH GAMING is more friendly towards accepted regions compared to other popular game providers.

I'm really looking forward to testing those games under Pragmatic Play but they didn't support users from our country. I don't know the reason until now. Using VPN might solve the problem but to avoid problems in the future, I won't consider doing it that way.

Push is one of the providers I didn't mention, I like Fat Rabbit, Jammin Jars, Deadly 5, Dinopolis, etc... but they don't have a "bonus buy" option. For me, Push is available almost everywhere, but on some sites not!

Until recently I couldn't play Pragmatic anywhere without a VPN! But at Chipstars and Metaspins I can play Pragmatic, as well as some other providers that are not available for me in other casinos..

I like the choice of games, I enjoyed playing Pragmatic for a long time, since I stopped using VPN. But here I played it freely, which is great for sure, I just wonder is there some catch? Smiley

Thanks a lot for the link, next time we will use it for sure!
And we’re happy to hear that you enjoy playing Pragmatic without extra steps at our casino! There’s no catch, we just make it as straightforward as possible for our players to enjoy the games they love, and we’re working on even more as we speak! Stay tuned Smiley

Maybe you will be able to play some providers without a VPN as well. Some additional info:

1715  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are stablecoins safe? on: November 28, 2022, 07:33:34 PM
I don't think stable coins are that safe, especially after the fiasco of Luna and some other stables that depegged. But til a better option is available, it is the best tool we have right now in case of a DCA

Of course, nothing is 100% safe, but let's not compare stable coins with Luna... I didn't even know about the Luna before their fiasco, I saw the first complaints here and I was thinking "where did this come from?"! Who was crazy enough to go for some Luna, after reading about Luna I didn't see anything special there except some "big words". But people still invested heavily and many lost a lot of money.

Stablecoins are just stablecoins, in the end, we use them to "get in & out" from some coins/tokens, there's no reason to hold them for too long. Some of the stablecoins are around for years without any issues, so even though there's a risk we all use them and we will probably continue to use them.
1716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Favorite Casino Games with a Buy-In feature on: November 28, 2022, 10:54:25 AM
My list is long, really long... Smiley

Pragmatic:

-Power of Thor Megaways
-Sword of Ares
-Great Rhino Megaways
-Sweet Bonanza
-The Dog House Megaways
-The Hand of Midas

No Limit:

-Book of Shadows
-Fire in the Hole
-San Quentin
-Mental

Relax:

-Money Train 2 (I saw there's 3, but didn't try it yet)
-Snake Arena
-Iron Bank
-Marching Legions

Quick Spin:

-Sticky Bandits 3 Most Wanted
-Cash Truck
-Big Bad Wolf Megaways

Hacksaw:

-Chaos Crew
-Gladiator Legends

The list is even longer, I probably missed a few good slots from each of these providers, and I missed a few providers as well. On these slots, I have many bonus buys. Bonus buy is a fun option, it's the question is it better to buy a bonus or to play normal spins and try to get one? It's pure gambling either way. I busted my balance many times with normal spins without winning a bonus round, in those moments I feel like it would be better to simply buy it, but you can't imagine how many times I got under x5 after buying a bonus! Simple math, $20 bonus buy, under x5 is less than a $1.

Never forget about the responsible gambling quote, never spend more than you can afford to lose! Slots are crazy, they can be very generous but they can wipe out your balance in minutes. So don't play them if you are not ready for some loses, normal spins or bonus buying is almost the same.

So far, the advantage from Japan is not very visible in the game, Costa Rica is playing quite tightly and smoothly, I am not sure about the possible odds 2.4 for Japan, but I wish you good luck in your bet, I hope the second half will put everything in its place.

Well, Costa Rica won with one goal... Where is Japan from the last game? What happened to these guys? I know that Costa Rica can be tricky, but I didn't expect from Japan to make this transformation from "great to worst" plays.

Belgium Vs Morocco (2:0)

The score was 2-0 but the other way around, Morocco Vs Belgium 2:0  Smiley

Another surprise today! I guess most of us expected Belgium to win this!

Can we expect more surprises like Germany winning against Spain tonight?

I am sure about Dogecoin that it will have t new all time high when it will be manipulated by crypto influencers. So elong musk can again influence Dogecoin and it will obviously happen as it happened several time. So we can hold some Dogecoin early. It will make us surely a good profit.

Well, what happened once can happen again. Elon with his deep pocket and his army of faithful followers can move mountains as we could see. But it's still gambling, will they pay attention to Doge again? Maybe they will move to some other coin?

Anyway, I wouldn't dare to invest more than I can truly afford to lose in this case. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Doge at the new ATH, that can happen, but what are the odds?
1719  Other / Off-topic / Re: Increase in cost of running the family on: November 27, 2022, 10:06:17 AM
But why drag the government into this, I don't see what they have to do with it. Your salary doesn't increase, you can't blame the government but look at yourself, why do other people get high salaries while we don't? is it because we didn't do a good job?

Well, some governments are simply bad! This is not about the salary someone earns, it's about the children and child allowances if they exist in a certain country:


-Newborn Upfront Paymentlaunch
-Newborn Supplementlaunch
-Parental Leave Paylaunch
-Dad and Partner Paylaunch
-Family Tax Benefitlaunch
-Parenting Paymentlaunch

The government is responsible for this, if having children have become more expensive, perhaps these allowances should be higher as well. It has probably been done in some advanced countries... but not in many others.

As you say: there should be family planning, only think about having a baby when we are fully able to take care of it, otherwise we have to try harder. If others can do it, we can too, don't always blame the government when we don't try our best.

Why do you think that a certain game will end above 2,5 goals or below 2,5 goals?

Japan to win and over 2.5 goals:


Japan has a good team, they showed it against Germany, they play very well and create a lot of chances, that's why I think they can win today again. And I think that today's victory is very important for Japan, if they win they have a safe passage to the next stage, regardless of how they play against Spain.
Costa Rica experienced bad luck against Spain (0:7), today they have to try to regain at least part of their dignity.
Both teams will have tougher opponents in the next matches, so today it is very important for these two teams to get points. I expect an open game with more goals and I give the advantage to Japan, I believe the psychological advantage is on their side.
