I think OP is looking at gambling apps, as it's growing alongside online gambling. I have not used any gambling apps at the moment. And doesn't focus on getting active on anyone. Because the app's data size might increase to an extent of lagging the operation of my device. Though, it helps gambling on the go, just like any other app. Op would have suggested few app based online gambling. I've also experienced some telegram based gambling activities. Yet it doesn't seem convincing to try such gaming. From the very observation of the gaming niche, lots of players do it web based not via app. With each user's different opinion for their preference. However, his statements are unclear to me, I'd say that despite the uncertainty of what he wrote about, it centers at online gambling. The government is also regulating online gambling, not for its widespread alone. But, to keep control of the kind of people involved in gambling. Underage gamblers. Addicts and cheats, contributes to some of the reasons people are asked for KYC. And other regulatory moves. Hence, the speed in growth of internet users, have flooded the online gambling sites with lots of irresponsible players. Making the regulatory process more difficult for the government. Countries like Australia, try had to keep check on the online gambling sector. Such as to save her citizens from addiction and bad gambling conduct. Following its importance and portability to the gambling society, we expect more players to adopt online gambling. Thereby, creating a huge gambling market, depending on the growth of internet users. Which we know expands everyday. The easy gambling at home process, have made lots of players get so attached to gambling activities. And it pose as a disadvantage.

These scam periods happened so fast, looking back to what the cryptocurrency market has suffered from CEX. I'll admit that saving money on centralized exchange is very risky. But, it's obvious that people easily forget about these scams, especially the newbies who was not affected by the previous ones. The cryptocurrency bull run is known for being attractive to fresh investors. These people do no research about what they're holding or investing into. That's the cause of having multiple victims, whenever centralize platforms shut down or go bankrupt. The market gains enormous amount of investors, but lose them to scam projects. And they'll never come to invest into bitcoin anymore. It's the disadvantage of lacking research ability as an investor.  The market, to retain existing investors, also need to remind  them, about such mistakes. Just like Op did, with this thread. For most, it's hard to resist some scam during the bear or bull market. Aside that, being in charge of their money and holding private keys is a crucial reminder, that shouldn't be on snooze. Else, the market will suffer from lack of investors, unlike in the past.

Whooping amounts of money ranging at billions of dollars lost to hackers, is affecting negatively the speed of bitcoin's growth. Which occurrence, is powered by the carelessness of bitcoin community members; investors, traders etc. Those exchanges are vulnerable to hackers, added to the fact that their owners are greedy. Possessing hundreds of millions in dollars, is tempting. Hence, it's our duty as bitcoin users and investors, not to put the temptation of messing with our funds on the CEOs of different crypto platforms. Since it's strenuous to manage people, only a few follow due instructions. Those that like reading bitcoin docs have high chances of not becoming victims. The rest that utilize bitcoin their own way, without care and control, will have themselves to blame.

Yeah it seems the post blew up and the media feast on trends like termites. You'll see similar posts about this on multiple blogs, soon. The boy is meant to have a name and with that, his photo can be found maybe on Facebook. The boy's problem is double. He doesn't understand the implication of gambling as an underage. Experience is the best teacher. His peers may have staked their school fees and he's trying to imitate them. The kid needs an Iphone. Or whatever may have been freaking him out, to take such a decision. If the casino refunds him, what do you expect of every other person who lost money in the casino. The question or this thread, have a simple answer. Casinos follow strict rules and chatting with their social media manager cannot change anything. It's impossible to refund him! I don't think he is addicted yet. He is anxious of what could be the outcome of his decision. A remorseful teen, wouldn't post his nonchalant attitude online, seeking for help. Teachers need to begin moral instructions for students like this boy. He's not stopping soon, if care is not taken. The possibility of him, paying the school fees even when refunded is very thin.  If gambling can mess with adults, what more a 16 year old? nothing unfamiliar. We see worst cases, not just online, but in our society. I've seen people risk their school fees and lose. But, they always have a way of tricking their parents, as a plan B. It still boils down to waste of resources for the family of the boy. 

Such mistakes don't happen often. But luckily the OP is happy for winning. It happened to me once, playing roulette games. Though the opposite of what Op experienced, I wanted to stake high amount, but played low amount and won. I got worried, and always wondered, assuming I staked the high amount. That would have increased my win. I noticed playing for too long, can cause mistakes while gambling. Or too many thoughts on our mind, not focusing. Yet such careless moves yields reward for some players. Other things like regretting not staking big amount, after winning with small amount, always crosses my mind. I also consider them as mistakes too. But, if a gambler mistakenly plays a game and lose out, he'd see that as a complete mistake. Op's case is indeed luck. And he may be pushed to continue wagering $3, since the reward came up a little bit. Finding out when to wager big and small money is difficult, but the profits of wagering big overshadows most players. An inexperienced player may kick start his next level of gambling by staking higher than they used to. I'd like to know Op's opinion, on his decision about his lucky day. Would he go back to wagering few cents or follow an increase? In my opinion, I'd play with the profit by staking high until its exhausted. They could be another lucky moment, because we win, even if a small amount is at stake. That's why randomly trying out high amount, still works best for players, according to their budget.

Frugal gambling is centered on factors like playing for fun, joining comp clubs, budgeting our bank roll, and devising techniques for more wins. A frugal gambler's goal is to never stake huge amounts in gambling. The use of comp clubs as a low roller is possible. Many think comps clubs are for only high rollers. A gambler that plays consistently can be accepted on different comp clubs in casinos. It'll help reduce expenses as a gambler, hotel rooms, food and drinks are offered free to the gambler. According to their activities on the casino. Other things to consider as a frugal gambler is playing for fun like everyone said. It helps the gambler understand that gambling can be a commodity like other things, which make us happy; going for vacation, watching football match etc. These things we pay for it too. And expect no reward. So, if one takes gambling as such, they'll be conscious of gambling too many times in one sitting. Your friend, enjoys the games, that's a good gambler, but, since gambling offer rewards, wagering money into it, we also need to utilize techniques to earn those rewards. Not just playing for fun sake alone. We also, need to observe our bank rolls, lay out specific amount to be spent on a day, gambling. Winning adds to the fun, as we can stake more with the extra funds. Most a times the money scheduled for the day, may not finish, due to winnings. Some expert frugal gamblers, wager the winnings and the scheduled money till the day is gone. Most times they'll go home with profits. A comp player, on the other hand, doesn't need to hurry, as they have a free room in the hotel. They can spend lots of time gambling and enjoying the fun with other comp players or their spouse. The benefits of staying frugal as a gambler is numerous. And it's a good thing to practice it.

This image keeps things clear and also will make people believe it's not Satoshi. The account is not being penalized for not adding Parody on his profile name. No authentic account represents Satoshi on twitter. Hence, the owner of that account is the first person to own a verified Satoshi twitter username. Regardless of the new twitter verification process. A lot of people still trust blue tick accounts. They may believe any tweet from such account, despite seeing the initial tweet where he indirectly mentioned being a parody. Isn't there any other means of identifying Satoshi, without requiring him to sign a message? No, no other means of identifying him exist. It's the highest height of staying anonymous and private. Satoshi is indeed an advocate of privacy. This has thought me the importance of staying private as a bitcoiner. Multiple journalists have litanies of unsuccessful moments, while in search for Satoshi. So he, Satoshi, won't make the task so simple by setting up a twitter page. In other ways, the increase in number of people claiming to be Satoshi, has made the work more strenuous for journalists. I think Satoshi can easily come out and say that he is Satoshi, but no one believes him, unless he signs a message. What an invention! In my days of searching and researching about Satoshi, I would have believed Op's thread. But, it's safe to say now that, Satoshi has been away since he left. Provided no other proof is available to claim his identity, he is a free man.

A business man that stays with his family, is best to move along with them. There is no way he'll lose his family because of business. Unless, he traveled and left his family behind. If he leaves enough money for his family before traveling, he may not lose his family, even. Planning, consistency and courage fuels business growth and ideas. Not anybody can do it alone. Many would need help in the process. Hence, working together with the family can be effective. They could be your best business advisers, partners or participants. Depending on the level of understanding in the family. But, its common among business people, their family joins them. So, a family man who cares, can't fail his family for business. Unless he's working to set up a fresh family. A successful business from an unsuccessful family, in terms of cooperation, will suffer losses. Personally, I'd say that a man can as well work with his family on a business and end up being very successful. In accordance with what he offers to the society. Some locations may be lacking out on some services, and would need special services on the utility, and no one to handle or sell it to them. These are important research to make, before setting up a business. Not just filling up the brain with thoughts and no action. Once a person is sure that what they're about to offer the society is on demand, they shouldn't be scared of setting up the business. Fine it may not start immediately, but he'll gain customers. I don't see family as a hindrance.

Greed makes up gambling and he only observed his mistakes and wanted others not to be like him. So, he isn't handling his earnings that way. anymore. I've done that in the past and nothing was wrong about it. I still have some funds left on the casino. Which, I'd play anytime I feel to gamble them. As a gambler we'll always stay tempted to wager our funding. Especially, when deeply into the game. At some point, a gambler can hardly control his greed, according to the outcome of their games. That's why it'll be important to remind OP that his moves to stop are great, but if still occurring, he should always take off his funds immediately before beginning gamble for the day.  This shows, how people can easily get used to doing something, even if it affects them financially. It can happen to anybody. Depending on how interesting or happy gambling makes them. If it's much fun, the person may not think of stopping. But, in cases where the person finishes every fund, they would be sad thinking about what made them happy. Casinos have means of keeping people, by giving them calculated wins. They know if you keep losing without winning, you'd stop. If sometimes you win, the glee of playing more activates in the player's rountine and it could affect the allocated funds in the account.

A casino that provides efficient customer service, will provide the reason for not paying a member. Readers look into this, before taking sides. If I read such an article, its obligatory to observe the quality of support the casino gave the big winner. Casinos that stopped responding to the gambler after winning big, should be blamed. So, cases like this one, is getting too much and casinos are mostly blamed. Because some casinos are found guilty, many others will be seen as guilty, even when not. The question remains, why now? Subsequently, the player wagers money in the casino and wins, with zero problem of withdrawals. But, when he wins big, the casino begins their research on the player to know if he broke any rule. One way or another he did, and the money is denied off him. I think it's a bad conduct. If need to check up a casino member's activities arises, they should do that always or immediately.

To help the player understand better and stay clear from breaking rules. The casino need to issue those bans, even when they're not winning. Out of greed, some casinos enjoy the losses of the player, and fail to check if they're breaking any rule. That's where the problem of taking sides erupt. People are not nut. We read to uniquely understand a situation. When a casino is known for its quality attention to issues, a player is blamed for breaking rules by the community. Not all threads as such, have I seen the community blame only the casino. As they also use the casino and have not experienced such a back log. Question would be asked and if no sufficient answer is provided, the player or casino gets the bad review. Depending on their reaction to the problem. A player that takes advantage of the casino, will be penalized by the casino and nothing is wrong with it.  I think only few people take sides. If the number of people who take sides are higher, then the casinos are at fault.

Running a family is not one sided. In most part of the world people stay together with extended families to cut cost for individuals. The most difficulty, falls on a household where only the husband or wife makes the income. If they do, they'll need to calculate every expenses before buying a product. Money management is crucial, when running a family. Although, people's idea differ, the best answer is being contented. Get punctual to work and improve the quality of your skills. With good plans a person can manage a family despite earning low income and have extra funds to save. A lot of high income earners trying to impress the society, struggle to manage their family financially. Most times they get help from the low income earner, who manage his money. I've experienced or seen cases, where a low income earner complains about lending a high income earner some money. yet has not been paid. So, I expect advises that centers at running a family, regardless of the income range. Inexperienced people lose out lots of resources, while trying to maintain a quality family standard of living. Which lifestyle, weighs their finances down and lead them to take loans. You'd notice that without proper management anybody fails in running a conducive family. A low income earner, shouldn't rent an expensive house or eat in restaurants. They must depend on home made foods. Then invest time on the growth of their kids. It's a good job that can generate more income to the family in future. Chasing for extra income, terminates the time meant for the kid's growth. Parents who don't spend time to teach their children, underestimate the value of children. The next few years that child may not depend on you completely. Teaching them will enable financial freedom in their lives as adults. Reducing expenses and maximizing profits, for the family. If a parent makes so much money, but has less time and in future their kids run low on income, such a parent will lose lots of money. What is certain is that the family growth will move, but the direction it points, rich or poor, must be mastered.

I thought these clicks doesn't happen immediately. To be eligible for the grant, the victim is expected to execute tasks. In the process, the hackers get useful information  that can be used to control her account. But, it seems these attackers, advance quickly. Many victims fall for unique techniques. A lot of internet users think making money online is a luck thing. Uninformed fellows easily believe the scam messages, because it came luckily. They anxiously get lost in the process and pay in money. There their eyes gets clearer. The daily emergence of fresh internet users, increases the alarming news of scam activities. An experienced internet user can avoid cheap scam methods, newbies can't. And nobody will be suspicious enough to detect when a friend's message or chat responses doesn't correspond. They'll have to inform friends about being hacked, which may be too late. Before getting informed, numerous friends may have been scammed. I feel like little discussions with the hacker, can reveal to me that I'm not talking to a friend. The baits, gets the victim's interest. What they get from their interest, puts them into a sad experience and situation. I'd advise any new or fresh internet user, to marry the search engine. Whatever strange or lucky emails you receive, look it up.

This is a good answer, hodl doesn't entice them. They're other products like falling victim of "invest 1 to get 2" scam, that makes them happy. Barriers as these, can't stop a person interested in bitcoin from holding bitcoin. Low income earners have different priorities, not including bitcoin. Hodling bitcoin is not a bet, the small investor can't get higher rewards like the big investor. So, if the low income person finds out the little invested funds, won't yield enormous profits. I don't see any need, why they'll hodl bitcoin, if it won't skyrocket their earning capacity. Except hodling for fun. The big investor gets the most profit, that's why people are encouraged to invest with huge amount of funds. So, hodling bitcoin has little or no barriers, whatsoever. I'd say it's a personal decision. Different users, different reasoning and ideas. Yet it's obvious, a good percentage of ideas and thoughts of bitcoin is targeting huge opportunities. Only few participate genuinely and invest gradually. Hence, they omit these barriers. The high profit guys, seeking quick cash, worry about such barriers. After holding for months, with no positive results, they'll rush to ponzi scam. Despite not hesitating to quit bitcoin, they won't hesitate to blame it on bitcoin

If the addicts gamble with loans, their salary won't change the behavior. It'll only make the person a high roller. Funneling lots of vulnerable to his career. I don't think gambling addiction revolve around jobless people. Gambling has taken jobs away from employees. The solution is kindness. Having conversation with gambling addicts. Inviting them for outings, parties and other social gatherings. Will engage them and brush away some time spent on gambling. But, the society today is not conducive to them. Thereby boosting the number of gambling addicts in the communities, regardless of their financial status. CEOs gamble. If the aggressive and the financial destructive gambling addict is shown the other side of this world. He'll learn to adjust, and fix his life. Hence, it'll gradually spread and reduce the high rate of gamblers. So, if gambling is not a solution to poverty, it is not also a solution to more wealth. For the rich folks. The very rich go broke because of gambling. Being financially stable doesn't solve it. A sustainable social activities will easily bounce out gambling addiction. I know it'll sound difficult, since these addicts don't think of other things. One would wonder how to constantly win a gambling addict over to a party. They may influence their non gambling friends. Thousands of reasons have reduced the care loved ones give to their suffering gambling addictive friends. I've seen many addicts change. Because they hang out with non gamblers. Good peers make great changes to the society. In most cases, it's not planned. The addict gets compassionate with the non gamblers, accidentally. And tend to change by seeing how their friends live life. That means if the people invest kindness to help reduce gambling addicts, it'll be easier to achieve than any other available method.

Australia is indeed a country with huge gambling communities and societies. A great number of them are addicts, the government is unsure of what decision to choose. Whether to ban gambling in the country or moderate it. The benefits of gambling money to the country is not balancing with the disaster it causes to her citizens. In such a condition, new ideas, techniques and processes would be needed in the country. Which helps to decrease the rate of addiction to a minimal amount. From other responses I've read, members said its purpose is to get hold of the young generation. As it'll be difficult to control a country where people are not restricted from gambling. It's like a treat to them, expect more security measures from the Australian government. I support it. Young people deserve better.  Like you said, it gets beyond control everyday, it'll be hard to fully restrict young people. That's why they try different methods, especially in this online gambling era. Multiple loopholes, where they can boycott the rules. It's a torn to their flesh. Government money go into gambling from numerous loans and debts of addicts. Are there tired of gambling money? because it doesn't seem like a publicity trick. The bad side of gambling has affected a lot of communities. Tarnishing the future of the addicted players. Their restricting method is not quite efficient to put the problem to a halt. They need perfect techniques.

Increase in consumption can as well cause diminishing return. It's a both side game. The casino wins when players lose and vice versa. Nobody loves it, losing money. Running a casino business is risky especially when a good number of players are high rollers. I've seen multiple issues with winning big, not only on casinos, even bet shops find it difficult to pay big winners. They're always delays and disputes before the money is sent to them. So, the correct cause of the problem is loss of money. But, on their side, when we lose big, no problem arise. Instead they're happy and encourage the player to stake more or try again another time. It's common in online casinos, I'm surprised to see offline casino having the same attitude to high rollers, who win big. I'm sure not all casino execute such a behavior, yet no house is glad to see a player win big. That's why we must always stay prepared for them, because they're ready for players. One rule or term will be tagged to the player, that they broke or failed to comply. Players are expected to also follow due procedures, when playing casinos. So that on the big lucky day, they'll have no allegations against us, the player. I was marveled to see a casino ask a big winner about the source of his wagered money, before he'll be paid. Additionally, big players should own a capable lawyer, in case of familiar problems as these. Sue the casino to court and they'll get penalized.

Yes, this has to do with utility or happiness of the person, if they can't get what they want, definitely being sad is the only option. What Op is saying about this person is in relation to your idea. I mean, if the gambling addict keeps losing money, he'll get sad and angry. Which attitude, he'll transfer to his younger ones and brutalize them.  Because whatever we want is like a force or gravity, reason why addicts gamble again after losing out so much in gambling. Well for the case of the guy Op talked about, gambling may not be the only source of his anger. People grow up differently, and it affects their situation; trauma, hatred and emotionless. In most part of the world, in a family, elderly ones maltreat their younger ones, despite not being into gambling. Hence, gambling contributes to his behavior, not completely or fully. On the other hand, if a player who is broke, thinks so much of his gambling losses he'll get angry and can get aggressive. In such a state of mind, anything can irritate them. And leads to fight and quarreling amongst close friends and family.

OP, if you want to help the person, talk to them about seeing a psychotherapist at an early stage. Because excessive anger is caused by depression or leads to trauma. Low self esteem out of things not working the way it should, also affects such a person on the long run to stay aggressive. If left unattended the symptoms can escalate to a severe problem, that will be intoxicating to the society at large. Get close to them, talk to them about your problems and they'll easily voice out theirs. Then usher in a soft advise, that'll change the person's mental reasoning.  Recommend seeing a caring therapist, as people are easily suicidal in a world filled with difficulties as today. 

Publicity good or bad carries  negative outcome and this would happen to many students like you said. The best way to solve this problem is finding a method to teach students who are gamblers already the need of gambling responsibly. But as you know, that will be a very difficult task. Gathering non gamblers and gamblers in a class room to teach them about gambling addiction is wrong. Teaching them for fun can also lead to other negative effects, so I’d add that, teachers need to make strict provisions for only gamblers to participate in such lessons. As what matters is reaching to the right audience to reduce the harm of infecting others With gambling addiction. 

Finding affiliates is dependent on the commission you are providing per referral. Seeing such a dedicated or targeted platform for affiliates can be rare, but finding affiliate marketers isn’t. But, you’ll have to build some reputation for these marketers to trust you. So, set up a website and build reviews, then reach out to affiliate marketers. If you don’t have intentions of setting up such websites, internet marketing forums have boards for affiliate marketers, where you can get such marketers. But, I’m wondering if you’re an affiliate looking to pay other marketers to spread your referral link to different platforms. If it’s not your idea, then why don’t you think the affiliate marketers will prefer to work with the projects directly. So, in your search for affiliate marketers, you’ll have to break down your goals and motives to their understanding. It’ll help get things straight. Not just coming to say, you need affiliate marketers. There are lots of question answers expected from your side.

The wealthy bitcoin holders don't have any problem converting their funds to fiat. This is where p2p transaction comes to play. How would you use exchanges and banks with multiple limitations to run such transactions? Many bitcoin whales use their bitcoin to pay for houses and cars, without passing through any third party like the banks. No need keeping $100m in the bank, when it can stay safely in your wallet. If you need to purchase properties, paying directly with bitcoin is the best option. Then withdraw gradually the rest of the coin to your bank account for minor expenses. What matter is keeping your coin safe from being hacked. I won't encourage using bank, because of the stress; too many questions, like the source of the money. Whenever, I see huge transaction from bitcoin whales, there is always a story of the owner buying a Lamborghini or house with the coin. Agents or sellers of such properties can accept huge amount of bitcoin.
