Nothing we can do for this case if we want to play the games except trust the provider of the game.
Gambling itself is at the side of the gambling sites, while third parties too make money as it is providing the gambling sites the games that the gambling sites are provide their customers. I do not see any reason not to trust thrid party game providers, they are not even the gambling site because where they are making money from is the games that they are providing.

The board you post this is gambling board. The is not just a gambling board, but online gambling sites are the ones that come to this board to advertise themselves, not traditional gambling sites. Which means that people on this forum are registering on an online gambling site. But you just come to the board and post about what gamblers on this forum are using already, what is no more new at all.

A professional gambler is someone who takes and carries gambling as a profession and is a full-time gambler. Of course, you can call them professional bettors since what they basically do is use different methods to get wins and avoid losses as much as they can. Their betting patterns and bankroll management skills are too good.
Do not let us deceive ourselves, there is nothing called professional gambler, it is just not true. No gambler should see themselves as professional, they should just see it as fun and entertain themselves with it.

it is not about the day the trader may lose, there are certainty that someone that depend on gambling may see himself as professional and later lose. The easiest way for a rich man to become poor is through gambling.

To let people know you in this community, I will advice you to start a signature campaign on this forum. This makes it easy for people to trust you more in a way they will believe you are not trying to scam.

It will be good if you can let us see a link to your terms and conditions on your website, I am not seeing it. You can not expect people to use your website without reading the terms and conditions.
1765  Other / Beginners & Help / Darknet hackers are selling crypto accounts for as low as $30 a pop on: May 02, 2023, 02:36:46 PM
I was thinking who are the people that will buy these accounts? Only what that comes to my mind is that the scammers will be the people that will like to buy such accounts. I am also thinking that it can be beyond only hacked accounts because it is possible for people's KYC to be breached and stolen from exchanges and the platforms that the exchanges are giving the KYC.

Darknet hackers are selling crypto accounts for as low as $30 a pop

Do not think everything you see on the web is true. Some people are using bought verified account. But I am thinking what will be the legit reason to be using a bought account?
1766  Economy / Gambling / Re: justbit.io asks for KYC (their site say NO KYC) then confiscates my winnings on: May 02, 2023, 10:34:11 AM
Please do not speak well of this gambling scam company anymore. This kind of behavior, which seizes the prize money without waiting for players to provide documents, is fraudulent. There are too many such companies on forums.
We have good gambling sites that have their announcement thread on this forum. If you are good to read the terms of service the casinos provided, it can save you from problems that can occur when you want to withdraw. I have not seen justbit.io announcement or signature campaign on this forum before. I will not advice anyone to use any casino that do not have signature campaign on this forum because gambling sites that can advertise is a sign that they have money.

Yesterday, I also spent the whole evening looking for an alternative to my 2FA app, and I also found this Raivo app. I see Raivo's developers being more active and constantly releasing updated versions to make the application more and more complete. Since I'm not tech-savvy, I spent some time watching people on Reddit review these 2 apps(tofu and raivo). In the end, I will follow the majority and choose Raivo to replace GG authenticator. Thank you for suggesting me.
The developers claimed that the source code is reproducible. If that is true, it would be a good authentication app. I will still prefer Aegis for Android. Tofu for iOS is good too. The authenticators that I can tell people not to use are the close source authentications and those that are having online backups which makes it not safe to use. Google and Authy fall into this category that should be avoided.
1768  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is a web3 casino for you? on: May 01, 2023, 07:10:49 AM
Everything in web3 gives advantages to the owner/user itself but since it’s still in a process, we can’t actually give its precise meaning. However, for me, web3 offers a lot of advancements like we don’t have to face problems like KYC since everything that the casino will ask has been input already in our own non-custodial wallet.
But what about the future, there is possibility that the government may want to attack the web3 gambling sites and asked them to make KYC compulsory. Making KYC compulsory on web3 is very possible. Gambling sites, decentralized exchanges and other platforms that are using web3 may become a place of know your customers in the future.

No... Rank and merit qualifys you for every particular rank
Likely you mean activity and merit. If posts are deleted, merits are not deleted with it, you have your merit. But if posts are deleted, the activities are deleted too and the person will go to lower rank.
1770  Other / Off-topic / Re: To Electrum 2FA wallet users and other bitcoin 2FA wallet users on: April 30, 2023, 09:50:07 PM
I would lean towards the safe side and regenerate another secret key for each account involved since I doubt your data will be deleted on their servers.
It will be better for people to change their secret codes entirely just as you said. It is a good advice.

That's bad news, I have a lot of accounts and trading platforms that connect to the google 2FA app, why did they decide that? Or what is the wisdom of that, given that you can extract the private key and save it yourself, why do they need to keep it in a server or cloud.
You mean to extract the secret code? That is true. Also that on every site or wallet like Electrum, before you can use the OTP, the secret code would first be generated and you can do the manual backup.

If in case someone uses Electrum as a Bitcoin wallet on android and chooses the address Wallet with two-factor authentication, then he installs Electrum windows Portable version on the computer by choosing to enter the seed that was obtained when making it on android and entering the google authenticator code, say someone that's me. Can it have a negative effect on me like this case?
Let me tell you the negative effect.

Do you have chrome on your Android phone? Click on the dots at the upper right corner and click on settings. You will see password manager.

Assuming you have your 2FA on another device because you think it is safe like that. Some people that are using online accounts like custodial wallet, exchanges or anything that has to do with 2FA like Electrum 2FA wallet can be affected because what is called two factor authenticator is no more two factor authenticator if it is linked to the email on the phone. By just downloadimg the app on the device and use the email with it, you will see the OTPs generating. Some people can be very careless and synchronize their username, password and 2FA. What else do hackers need to hack successfully? Nothing. Those three are enough to steal from people.

Do not save your username, password and 2FA codes on Google cloud, it is very dangerous.
1771  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How can i reverse a Bitcoin transaction? on: April 30, 2023, 01:20:37 PM
Your only hope is for the recipient to voluntarily send it back to you.
Do you know how many bitcoin private keys and addresses that can exist? If they are sands, this world can not contain it. What if the coin is sent to an address that belongs to no one? Better not to send coins to a wrong address.
1772  Other / Off-topic / Re: To Electrum 2FA wallet users and other bitcoin 2FA wallet users on: April 30, 2023, 01:12:00 PM
Is all Bitcoin software wallet provide 2FA feature which is provided by Google? I doubt about it.
This is what I am talking about, they should stop using google authenticator. Better ones like Aegis can be used.

2FA is unnecessary on a wallet like Electrum. If you want the safety of multi-sig, then just set up your own multi-sig. It is safer and cheaper to do so, as well as giving you more redundancy in your back ups.
I like it that you said this for people to know that cold wallet and multisig is better and nothing like third party. But I am just saying that people should know about the present app update of google, that it will synchronize 2FA code to google cloud. This is how I created it before, but it was moved to off-topic. I only just look for ways it will be on a board that more people will visit.

However, 2FA should be mandatory for any and all online accounts which use it. If you can, use a hardware key. If you can't, then use a good open source 2FA app such as Aegis for Android or Tofu for iOS. You should try to avoid any and all Google products under all circumstances - they are notorious for harvesting your data, they are generally closed source, poor security, and just love sending all your sensitive data to random servers around the world of "safe keeping". Google's 2FA app is no different. Avoid it.
This is what I want people to be aware of. Some people will save their username, password, 2FA code on google cloud, what then remain if such people's device are compromised.

2FA may be on another device, but if it synchronized with google and the email used is on the device that has been compromised, all the hacker needs is to download google 2FA app and get access to the OTPs.

Google is making security to become the thing of the past.

This topic was moved to off-topic and no replies and it was left alone because off-topic board is seen as trash board. I do not want to move the topic back to beginners and help because moderator moved it to off-topic.

It is about bitcoin users that are using google 2FA app. If you update to this recent update, your 2FA will synchronized with google cloud and your 2FA codes are no more offline.

We can see how many bitcoin users and other crypto users have lost their money through Google Cloud and  iCloud, what is online is not secure like offline.

This is about letting other people that do not want online 2FA to know.

I will lock the old topic. If this topic is moved to off-topic again, I have nothing else to do. I hope you have all seen it.
1774  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How can i reverse a Bitcoin transaction? on: April 30, 2023, 11:20:02 AM
This happened to me once. The virus changed the address of the recipient, and a certain amount was deducted from my wallet
This forum is good because likely you weren't on this forum by that time. But even if someone's device is completely cold wallet, it is always good and better to check the address the person is sending to. No matter how small the the coin is, it is good to confirm if the address is correct or not.

At this point it all relies on hope that they'll send it back to you.

You could try to send them small amount of btc preferrably from the same address and use OP_RETURN to add a simple message however there's a high chance, they won't be able to even notice the message.

In short, prevention is the cure.
To avoid it is just the best. Who will be looking for such message when light client wallets will not let you know. Most people will not track transaction too. The address may belong to no one. If it belongs to someone, like clipboard malware, the bad person will not send the coin back.
1775  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How can i reverse a Bitcoin transaction? on: April 29, 2023, 06:31:03 AM
I searched in google to find any possible solution but really sorry to say that there is no way to reverse or alter the transaction once it confirmed in Blockchain. i also sent Ethereum to wrong address months ago and did not find solution yet
This discussion is not about ether, it is about bitcoin. Sorry for your loss. It is good to check very well that the address you are sending to is correct, even if it is either bitcoin or an altcoin.

once the transaction is confirmed, there is no way of reversing it. if someone PM'd you or saw a platform saying that they can help you with your issue, they are lying and most likely a scammer. anyway, I hope you read what the members have said so you won't do the same mistake or if you did the members have written what you need to do.
There are some sites that called themselves recovery service, they are also lying and they are scammers.

Anyone can come on this forum that needs someone's service in return for money. What I am saying is that you supposed to add the person's username so that we can all know the person's username.
1777  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: HOW DO I GROW MY MERIT LEVEL SAME WAY MY ACTIVITY IS GROWING? on: April 28, 2023, 11:35:22 AM
Creating post and good content comes to me easily but i have had just one question on my mind since i signed up, "How do i grow my merit level the same way my activities and post are growing?
If someone send you 2 merits, you will automatically have 1 sendable merit (smerits). If you have 4 merits, you will also have 2 smerits that you can send.

Quality posts can be  given merits. Make quality posts.

Post more on bitcoin boards.
1778  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Warning]: New MacOS malware discovered named Atomic MacOS Stealer. on: April 28, 2023, 08:31:28 AM
Desktop cryptocurrency wallets:

  • Electrum
  • Binance
  • Exodus
  • Atomic
  • Coinomi
What is Binance doing there? Binance is an exchange, not a wallet. If it can target Binance, probably it may be able to steal from other exchanges app too.

It's scary that threat actors are also targeting MacOS for sometime not and not just Windows or Chromium based OS.
MacOS is an operative system too, on an online device.
1779  Other / Meta / Re: Why did moderator moved my topic to off-topic? on: April 27, 2023, 04:12:18 PM
That is always the mindset of people.
Topics in off topic board does not mean that they are trash.
I visit off-topic to know that it is full of trash posts from shit posters or members that are not ranking at all.

Is that the reason it was not moved to a board that crypto users are visiting than to move it to off-topic where trash posts belong? Even if I am wrong, I do not think moderators did the right thing either.
If you think the moderators did wrong, you can move your topic by yourself. When someone report your thread and it moved to off topic again, it's mean moderators didn't mistakenly move your topic.

Note: There's an user got temporary banned due to moved back his topic for multiple times.
It will remain in off-topic. Why would I move the topic back when moderator moved it. I can not do that.

 
If you added this
Quote
for Bitcoin users
or there's a post in your thread that specifically teaches or instructs Bitcoin users it would not have moved in the off-topic
The Off-topic board is literally described that way:
Quote
Other topics that might be of interest to bitcoiners.
I'd say it belongs there, and not in Bitcoin Discussion which is described as:
Quote
General discussion about the Bitcoin ecosystem that doesn't fit better elsewhere. News, the Bitcoin community, innovations, the general environment, etc. Discussion of specific Bitcoin-related services usually belongs in other sections.
It could fit into off-topic, but you too know that off-topic board is full of trash. Click on the link and check the topic, the only reply that was posted was when the topic was in beginners and help. No reply in off-topic. But you are right and I have nothing to say again. I will lock this topic now.
1780  Other / Meta / Re: Why did moderator moved my topic to off-topic? on: April 27, 2023, 11:47:41 AM
Simply because it's off topic. It doesn't discuss anything about bitcoin topics or even mentioning that it should be for bitcoin users or so.
Is that the reason it was not moved to a board that crypto users are visiting than to move it to off-topic where trash posts belong? Even if I am wrong, I do not think moderators did the right thing either.
