But they spent $15 billion and we can't see anything about it except a few promo videos, those videos look good for sure, but as some other people are saying, how many of us don't have/use VR?! Metaverse is just an idea, in my opinion, it's a digital future like we saw in the movies, but I guess the world will is not ready for that!
I can be wrong, technology is advancing with incredible speed, but for now, I didn't see anything except big words. When I get to check some final product (or close to it) I will see is there a future in Metaverse or not.

Thanks, Panjul! But I think I will sit this one out... if I don't change my mind later when the kids fall asleep and I open a bottle of wine!

I don't expect many participants as well, but it's still fun to compete with some regulars! tyKiwanuka was unlucky this time, last time he had a max win on the Pragmatic slot (Greek Goods I think?!)! The highest, for now, is just x156! I believe we will see some higher multi, but Roycilik lowest will be hard to beat!

Well, Crazy Time is a crazy game! And maybe we don't know about the technical part, but we know how high the house edge is for this game! So it's hard to win definitely!

I tried Crazy Time a few times, and I was surprised by the number of players, of course, if those are real people in chat. I didn't have the luck to hit "Crazy Time, Pachinko...", even though I was trying... after a while and some losses I just quit playing. When people lose they tend to think that the game is rigged, but with HE the game is designed to be hard to win, especially in the long run!  So I guess the best advice for people who doubt this game is to move to some other game, with a lower HE...

I guess when your bankroll is huge (maybe over $10k or $100k?! Or even higher?!) you want some protection and you are ready for KYC or anything else that can/will help you if some problem appears!

When it comes to us small-time gamblers avoiding KYC is probably some kind of rebellion, between everything else, we can pass it but the question is why do we need it? We like crypto because of the freedom it gives us... and some of us are not ready to abandon that freedom. Anyway, if you are a fair player you will be treated fair, with KYC or without.

When you are losing nobody cares about you, you cover your own losses, when you are winning everyone wants a piece of you!

I guess there's no point in talking about what would we do in a similar situation... We are all different, and in moments of shock (I believe it's shocking when you win some big amounts like the first story) we react differently. The best outcome would be for them to get married and live a happy life without worrying about money ever again if there's some true love! But how to story leads us to think this money brought some problems on the surface...

The second story is about stealing... but in reading comments from the link I see there are some "unspoken" rules between "master and apprentice"! Like in the 15th century! But who am I to judge if that is some tradition there and people there are ok with that:

Well, trading with new coins/tokens, counting old low-cap ones too, is pure gambling. Simply there's a lot of manipulation with them, proven fact, we had/have too many cases around, pump & dump scheme is something we see very often in crypto. Those who decide to join that circus are risking a lot, there are no rules here, some guidelines... it's just about the timing, getting in & out on time, like placing a bet on red or black in roulette. But in roulette we see the ball, in these schemes, we don't see a lot, any bagholder can dump everything in minutes and leave you with a bag full of worthless coins.

But many new projects are doomed to fail, simply because they have ideas and big words, but there's no product behind, something that is working or will start working in some near future. While some "old ones" are holding pretty well even in these bearish times, it's because they deliver what they promised and they are working fine! 

Investing heavily is OK if you are heavy! Simple as that! People shouldn't go over their heads if they are not completely sure what they are doing, and if they are not aware of the possible consequences if things go wrong... and things can go wrong in seconds when you don't expect it!

I don't think there is another alternative. Now when Twitch doesn't allow streaming from some crypto casinos there's a lot of empty space... Even DLive is not as popular as I saw in some discussions on telegram, I think they don't have a lot of people hanging there. But just two days passed, and most of us wait for the last moment before moving, so in the next weeks/months we will see DLive getting more popular. Of course, if we don't see some new streaming platform entering in the crypto-gambling space.

Well, it's not possible to use pennies from the vault when shares are going to be distributed every 3 months... I am not sure where I saw it, but people should check their tokens a week before distribution, if you are not active your tokens can get unstaked and you will not receive a payout! Until the next payout:



Sportsbook looks good, maybe this will bring some traffic to the site that will boost this vault!

As always, I will try to avoid it whenever I can, but if I need to do it I will. I don't want KYC during registration or later... it's not like I am running away from KYC, I just wish for less "papyrology"! I like it when it's easy and simple, without much hassle...

And I also think that KYC is being abused more than it contributes to stopping cheaters and scammers. Simply, it's so easy to bypass it, so what's the point!?

Congrats Soslex! Nice comment! I am glad to see that someone around here won. Now you can easily play for even more Golden tickets, I guess you can be "the first who won two times in a row"! It's a bit stretched, but why not, in gambling anything is possible!


He is not the first Bitcointalk member who won some awesome wheels!

Well, I don't invest in meme coins, I never did. I think it's better to try to earn them, there are ways to earn meme coins, and if you like it you can keep it, and maybe one day the price will rise... Just investing in them and believing the price will rise is a bit funny, Doge did something amazing because of influencers... and will some meme coin get that attention from influencers in the future is a big question.
Meme coins were just for fun, and I believe they still are. But some "higher forces" and their influence and capital affected some of them, which was a big surprise for many of us... but what happened once can happen again, but when and which meme coin will be involved is impossible to say!

In crypto casinos (except the ones where KYC is mandatory) it's not so important if you don't gamble with huge capital. I play in several casinos for years without any verifications, you only need a mail and google authenticator, in some casinos you need it for withdrawing.

Maybe there are crypto casinos with zero KYC tolerance, but I am not sure about that. In ToS you will always find "Casino reserves the right to ask for additional info if they suspect you are involved in something shady"! As a fair player, without some big deposits/withdrawals, not even one casino asked me for additional verification... I play in casinos you can find on this forum, these casinos have their ANN threads so you can check them by yourself.

I think this and the next year will be tricky for crypto, the prices as we see them now can drop more... or maybe this is the bottom! Anyway, if we talk about Bitcoin, there's some feeling around that in the next bull run we will see BTC crossing 6 digits prices! So is there a big difference if we buy now or for a thousand or two less?!
It's important when you get in, but it's even more important how long are you ready to wait...

Drake’s Stakes: The Canadian Rapper Who Wagered Over $1 Billion In 2 Months

Also interesting, from the same article:


I'm not sure what to believe, it's not impossible that Drake is a compulsive gambler who raises the stakes over time, and he's definitely rich enough to afford something like that. On the other hand:


Is this just an advertisement, or does he want to show how he is the biggest gambler ever and just goes crazy when he streams and front of the audience? I really don't know, maybe one day we will know more about that... I would say 50/50 at the moment, both can be true.

Look at that bet! I guess just looking at the size of this bet makes you feel like "this guy sure knows what he's doing"! But Drake also loses a lot on his sports bet, as we could see in the past... so I guess Drake is not a good tipster, but he has enough money to bet, again and again, each time with higher bets or higher odds, and in some moment he recovers. Anyway, Drake also plays other games, we can say that he is a real degen, Highroller degen!

This time he was unlucky, and all the people who decided to follow him... Well, I wish them more luck next time.

I also saw this announcement a few days ago, the last streaming... I didn't watch it, 1 am is pretty late for me! I was wondering if they were going to announce the next streaming place, did something like that happen? Was it DLive? And one more thing I'm interested in, did they force the story about the next place?

I guess Drake is really rich, but some casinos had pretty young streamers gambling with millions like crazy... with $10k bets and higher, buying bonus rounds with 6 digits numbers. And before they lose everything they "magically" get lucky and recover with a nice profit on top! I think that casinos will not quit this kind of marketing, the only question is where will they move after tomorrow?

There are enough reasons for doubt in KYC, and that doubt started before crypto... Crypto can/could solve that, but some people still think that governments are creating regulations "for our sake". I am not sure how many crypto casinos have accusations (proven or not) of doing suspicious stuff with player's info, but there's a nice list of data breaches around the world: List of data breaches! As we can see these things simply happen, even with the biggest names... poor security, hacks, lost or stolen media, and even "accidental publishing"! So KYC is simply not good... nobody can give any guarantee that your info will stay safe, in crypto or anywhere else!

Ecuador is the favorite by some bookies, I also think it's because Qatar lacks experience... and I definitely agree that we can't underestimate the host nation, support from the local audience is like the 12th player! And the last time they played 4 years ago Qatar won. So this will be an interesting opening, I guess both desperately need 3 points if they wish to have some chances for advancing, and this is the game when they can get 3 points! In later games against Netherlands and Senegal, both of these teams will have troubles.

I voted "idk" because I agree that mood at that moment is important, I wouldn't call it an urge, simply it was a nice start and if I planned to gamble that night I will probably continue playing, of course, I would jump to another game most likely. But I had moments when I am in a hurry and after a few spins, I get a bonus and a nice payout! I just close the browser, and I am thinking that I have a nice balance starting balance for later. Probably it's how we degens feel about it.
