There is no gambling game where luck is not an important element. If we have more knowledge about some sports, or we are skilled at some card games we will have higher chances of winning, but without luck in the "last seconds", or on the "river" it is very possible that we will lose more than we will win.

In my opinion, slots are a special category... we depend only on luck, and it's interesting to spin and wait for the bonus round and some huge win. Slots can give a lot and be very generous, but they can take even more if we are not careful with the base bet/bankroll ratio. When it comes to bonus buys, we can just press the buy bonus button and hope for the best... there are no strategies we can apply, it's pure gambling and luck.

After losing streak the best we can do is to stop and make a break. It's hard to give any concrete answers to this question, every gambling session is unique in some way, and what we will do depends on the mood at that moment. I experienced many different situations in gambling, we who gamble for years can say that, so what I can say is that changing games will work sometimes, but sometimes it won't, it's not like we have any guarantees when it comes to gambling.

It's gambling in the end, it's on us to try different things and hope that some of it will work and bring some big wins. Many times after changing games I was lucky to hit something big, but just as many times I have experienced a double disaster. So we can play with money we can afford to lose, have fun, and if we are lucky enough we will hit something nice.

I don't like to give financial advice either, everyone should do their own research before investing in anything. One of the facts is that as time passes, fiat currencies lose value, even when someone keeps money in a bank and earns interest on that amount, that interest does not cover the loss of value. So what the OP is suggesting is a bit strange, why would anyone keep/lock money that will lose value over time? I understand people who keep cash at home and don't want anything to do with banks, they are clear to me... in case things go downhill it's good to have cash with you, banks can lock up and limit withdrawals at any time.

Crypto has proven to be a very good investment, Bitcoin the most but other coins have achieved a lot in the last 10 years, and I think that trend will continue. So I guess it would be easy for anyone to invest in crypto and lock/stake some amount for a longer period, I think it's way better than dealing with banks.

A lot more people want action and excitement, that's why the timeframe is short. With longer timeframes, the thrill wouldn't be the same... but I think that they should have those options as well, more options mean more fun, and with longer timeframes, people could count on doing some research before betting. With 15/30 seconds it's all about luck, the price is moving up and down like crazy.

I like how the trading arena looks, the colors are nice and the sound makes everything much more interesting. I think I will give it a try, so I will finally get more into polygon matic:


That sounds a lot better than using "Changely". Thanks for the advice Coin-investor.

I'm still on the fence about Telegram Casino, so I'd also like to know if anyone on the forum has tried this forum and if so, what their experiences have been. The ANN thread looks nice, the highest RTP guaranteed is especially attractive and very tempting.

OP should be more active if he wants to gain some trust on the forum, and if he wants to get a little more attention from us he could do it the "old-fashioned way", by offering some special welcome bonuses for us forum users or by making some nice competitions with guaranteed prizes.

This is the first time I've seen someone just lose their balance in any currency, and I have seen all kinds of things. It would be foolish to say anything about this issue, who knows what kind of technical issue caused this? When you get your answer I would like to hear it too.
 


Well, since it's a "tricky" issue I think that you should give the BC team a bit more time to find the problem and solve this issue. Surely the money can't disappear just like that, but I believe the BC team will solve this case and find the source of this problem... when that happens you will get your money back and the hole will be patched.

You asked some interesting and extensive questions, and going through the comments I read a lot of interesting answers... some I agree with some I don't. First of all, I think we can't generalize these things, it's not only a question of which casinos earn more, but it is also a question of where they are located, in which countries they operate, and whether they have enough qualified people (I would say that is the most important factor). Without qualified people, every business will fail sooner or later.

I quoted just the last question for a reason. Since I am not qualified enough to run an offline/online casino I think I would probably hire someone to do that for me and continue to be a gambler. I guess it's like that with many others from here.

Fiat currencies have no advantages over cryptocurrencies... crypto can do everything that fiat does, a lot better, faster, safer, and if necessary it can be more transparent, which in my opinion should be respected by some government institutions. As I said a few times, I don't care where somebody spends money, but I would like to be able to know where the tax money is going in some cases, for the good of all of us or into some politician's pocket.

There are many bad things in crypto as well, but how corrupt fiat is can hardly be explained in a few lines. There is corruption at all levels, globally it is such an intricate scheme of influence that no one can untangle it. The point is, as bad as crypto is or has downsides, fiat is much worse and has too many holes that will never be patched.

As I am aware, but correct me if I am wrong, none of the gambling tokens ever made anything spectacular, while some meme coins made some crazy returns. Maybe Elon is the one responsible for that, he started talking about Doge and (one of the biggest surprises in crypto in my opinion) Doge ATH was $0.74... Now we have a lot of meme coins around and it seems that many people are trying to make a fortune with them.

I also think that gambling tokens are not so popular even among gamblers, some people like them, and some don't... anyway, those who like to gamble in dividend-based casinos will earn them just by playing, but it would be interesting to know how many non-gamblers invest in casino tokens, and if there are any at all.

Many casinos started with just one game, back in the day dice, plinko, and crash were unique games, and after starting with one soon after we would see other games added one by one. So Fortify has a good suggestion, one or more original games with a unique spin on them, or some totally new original game can attract people. And if things go well and the site gains some user base, other games will be added easily. I guess it would be a "cheaper" way to start compared to starting with lots of games, big funds for marketing, and various promotions, not to mention the need for a huge bankroll to be there to attract whales.

The OP mentioned that he is going to launch something within days of creating this thread, so we are still waiting to see what he is up to...

I think they are making a PokerFi alt that can be used in other casinos, and they plan to build their casino...


They have some amazing ideas, but except for big ideas and words I can't say I see anything else. If you check their roadmap (I am not sure if it's a mistake or not), they are pretty much late for now... everything written there goes from 2021 to 2023 and I don't see them doing any of that, and there's nothing about 2024. So I am not sure what's happening with this project, but they seem to be stuck somewhere along the way.

There is also a very interesting video in the comments below, a short interview with Pastor Kenneth Copeland about how he got his hands on the plane... So he’s a Christian pastor with a net worth of $300 million, and I think we can safely say that he is a top businessman and that his church is a big company that makes a lot of money. Believe it or not, he is not even the richest pastor... if you google a little about rich pastors you will be surprised at what you can see.

As I remember the change to a minimum of $5 for a swap was a long time ago, and the 5% fee for a swap is the same from the beginning. The swap fee is lower on higher ranks, but since I haven't played on Chips for ages my rank there is zero.

For many of us, the fun at Chips Casino ended long ago. I play with dividend payouts, I try to hit some bigger payouts with my small balances, but until now I haven't had any luck. All my fun is busting balances in one coin after another.

If we are guessing, I would agree with your assessment, maybe 10 out of 1000 people manage to finish this bonus, but it also can be that no one won it, probably there are weeks with no winners. It's mostly like that with bonuses that have pretty high wagering requirements.


They do that to get us hooked on the game.. once the game starts, sometimes it's hard to stop, so after losing the bonus money, many people will want to play a little more. Just for the sake of playing, or sometimes we will feel that our "moment" is close. So one of the questions could be how many people decide to deposit after losing their bonus. It would be interesting to hear the answer to that question...

I would agree with other members that race has nothing to do with gambling and gambling addiction. According to some statistics, about 1.6 billion people gamble, and the conclusion is that we are all human and that there are gamblers in every society, and therefore also people who are seriously addicted to gambling.

I doubt that there are real statistics somewhere about which race of people gambles the most and has the most serious addicts, personally, I don't like dividing people into races. But if you wish to check the top 5 nations that gamble the most here it is:


I think we already had a similar thread here on the forum, and as I recall this list has been in the same order for years.

I also think this is a very important rule, don't gamble with loaned money. It's all fun & games, as gambling should be, as long as we play with the money that is ours and that we can afford to lose. It's the line that shouldn't be crossed. Violating this rule can put someone in a very awkward situation, and the deeper one goes, the more problems there will be.

All the other rules are there to increase our chances of winning, but no matter how hard we try, gambling is full of ups and downs, people should be aware of that and try to have fun while placing bets and waiting for the outcome whatever it may be.

Pineapple poker is free to play, they have two freeroll tournaments every day, and apart from them, I have not tried any other telegram casino. So I just play freeroll tournaments and that's it, when it comes to depositing I am not so confident in Telegram casinos, and I doubt that I will change my opinion anytime soon.

It's a bit different, but recently I connected my telegram account with Betfury casino. But it's different when crypto casino spread their business on telegram. The wheel is different, there are some special promotions, and I get some telegram cashback as well.

I have already written about this on several occasions. In my country, advertisements about casinos are everywhere, on the streets, on TV, on the radio, and on the internet... casinos are almost on every corner, and they are clearly visible. It's almost impossible to protect kids from this. My kids are young now, and they don't ask too many questions, but I am already thinking what will I say to them when the time comes... and for now, I don't have any clues. I guess I will wait for them to grow up and try to postpone these explanations as long as possible. When the right time comes I will try to explain all the positive & negative sides of gambling, I think it will be better for them to hear it from me than from someone else.

I guess you should check the "Magic City" serial... S1.E6 "The Harder They Fall" to be accurate. It's actually a reverse story, after a mobster spreads a rumor that he made a bet on an underdog many people decide to follow him and bet big on the underdog. Of course, the underdog lost and many people lost a lot of money, a huge profit for mobster bookies. I am sure there are many different "fixes" in one vs one sports games, and even though I am more into "team sports", I think if we get too deep into conspiracy theories it's better to stop betting on sports in general. 

I personally have never had a problem with Coins.game casino. I get those promotions via email as well, mostly free spins and I use them when I catch them. I also have a small amount that I mostly spend on sports betting. It's too small for withdrawing, and I can't make a bit more in months... I win then I lose a couple of times, then I win, and so it goes round and round. I also noticed that they are very active on Twitter, they have many giveaways.

But as Bitinity reminds they have some unresolved situations here...  and I haven't made a single deposit since the accusations started, and probably won't until they fix their trust rating here on the forum.
