What would cause an account check with compliance?

Anything that a casino could regard as suspicious behavior. Although it might be worth noting that the term "suspicious behavior" is usually not defined by any online casinos for the purpose of keeping their reasons a bit "fluid". In the case for example that someone is moving money in ways that could be seen as money laundering or if someone is using a bot to try to cheat the system or the player logs on with different IP addresses everytime...

The casinos need to make sure they are not involved in any illegal things like allowing players from forbidden countries to play on their casino or having their casino used to launder money.

If it were up to me, I would prefer the casinos did compliance checks when the account was created instead of later, on the grounds of suspicion.

True, by using money for things that are useful then we will not regret it in old age, as long as we are young and easy to find money then save it all, if it looks big then use it to buy land and then build a shop building that can be rented out so we have provisions if it doesn't work anymore, don't regret being wasteful.
Wasting money is really not recommended in life, because saving money for necessities is a better thing to do. Because it is for yourself in old age so it is not a problem if you have to save money from now on in terms of gathering supplies for yourself. Because it will be very painful and sad if when you are old there are no provisions to enjoy anymore. So use existing assets in everything that can circulate money continuously and the rest is saved for old age.

Investing nor saving for old age are not a waste of money, I would say. But then again that is a relative definition. I think everybody has a completely different interpretation of what "wasting money" actually means. For example, if I were to buy clothes, I would see it as a waste of money if those were brand clothes with thousand dollar price tags. I prefer good quality but decent price. Another person would see it as an investment into his social life because he is surrounded by people who think the same way.

For me, I think its both good to set aside money for old age but also it does good to not forget to live in the moment. We are alive now. Tomorrow is not assured. So saving every single penny for old age is nonsense.

I say its better to save/invest half your extra money and the other half spend on meaningful things.

In my opinion, all complaints should be taken seriously as long as they are presented with evidence. Blockchain transaction IDs along with screenshots and any chat history can provide excellent proof when it comes to backing up an allegation of wrongdoing. If that stage ever comes, then it should not matter if the casino involved is a big reputable one or a new one starting out, they should respond to the allegation and then allow others from the forum to post in the Scam Accusation thread based on what they have read.

I think all complaints, regardless of whether or not there is sufficient evidence should be taken seriously by the casino itself, because thats their "customers" who are unhappy with whichever service or reason. Its really in the gambling casinos own interest to be concerned about helping their players feel comfortable because if they lose players, they will lose money. And even more if the players go on a rant online about how bad the casino is, and thus they will be damaging the reputation of the business and spooking away future customers, regardless of whether or not they have evidence for their claims.
1846  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] Manny Pacquiao vs. DK Yoo on: December 22, 2022, 11:19:59 AM
helping poor people is not the only reason why you need to become a politician. there are more things you need to consider when you are in politics because you are guiding the future of your country. but in any case, pacquiao should be totally retiring from professional boxing bouts. great if he will arrange exhibition fights from time to time. but should not think of going active again. enjoy his retirement while he has no health issues.
We're all agreeing that he should retire and I guess these show matches are his words for his retirement. He's not going to take any longer professional fights and that's a sign of his retirement just like Floyd Mayweather.
But, at the same time, he's still making huge money if there will be some exhibition matches that are not for a charity cause. That will surely still him bag a lot of money because he's still that popular and now a living legend.
Making money would be the main target and its true that despite on being retired and on the time that they would be launching up some exhibition fights then they are really still been considered and thats the beauty
of being popular and legend on a certain sport where fans all over the world wouldn't really be forgetting on who you are and on the time that you do have some matches
then people would still simply tend to watch it out and purchase or having those ppv's or tickets on such venue.

That's why we call it an exhibition fight, they would not fight without benefiting from it, and the fact that they entertain the fans, means they are getting paid as well. Making money is just so easy for a popular icon like Manny Pacman, and whoever he fights next, whether he loses or wins, his popularity will still remain.

Exhibitions fights are basically there for two reasons, as I understand it, the first reason is for marketing and PR purposes. Obviously every fighter has to keep up their own appearance in their social media as well as for whichever marketing team is helping them out in the news headlines. I am guessing that if they did not do this, then when the real fight starts, their audience will be much much smaller. And therefore they will make less money.

The second reason is to gauge their opponents strengths and weaknesses. Preparing them for a longer and harder fight.

The reality is that as long as Betfury ends up being used and all, it should be fine but if there are less and less people who gamble here then it will never be worth something, BFG will be one of the gone ones and not the good ones.

I am pretty sure that they are working hard to make sure that Betfury stays afloat and makes a lot of profit, but we are in a bear market so it is a bit harder to convince people to gamble the very little money they have left already. It would be a lot better during bull run because not only BFG price will go up, but there would also be a lot more people who make a ton of profit from trading come here and gamble with it.
as long as the casinos remain consistent in maintaining the value of their tokens of course investors will invest in BFG tokens during this bearish market as long as there are still many active gamblers in their casinos, this is a tough task for casinos to spoil gamblers so they don't go to play elsewhere and keep playing in the casino they are doing a lot of promotions so they can make gamblers feel at home, the more players the more valuable this token will be in the future  Wink

Sure that  might be true but then again, that depends on what you mean by casinos remaining consistent in maintaining the value of their tokens. There will always be dips and dumps as well as pumps and moons. Everything that goes up must come down. So you cannot really judge a casino by short term value but rather you would have to look at the all time-value of their tokens/coins. Meaning, if you invested from the very beginning, would you have made a decent profit or would you have lost money?

I think the more large, institutional investors, the more valuable the token. The amount that the players bring is quite tiny, compared to that.

Bitcoin update:
There is a high chance price moves back up to the 17500-17700 area then drop hard to 10k.
This move will be quick and could manipulate many traders and in the process price will print a double top pattern that could look like the one below.

I don't know about you guys but I think the complexity of current AI is being given a bit too much credit here. I can totally smell when some text is fake and generic. Its all about the subtlety. And even if somebody created a bot to bump posts or cheat signature campaigns, I think we would be able to detect it. Perhaps not immediately but there would be signs at some point. Humans make mistakes. Grammar, typos, thinking errors like brain farts. You cannot really replicate those tiny human imperfections perfectly and they are what makes us what we are (yet).

~ It might sound strange to some people, especially those thinking gambling is undoubtedly bad and even evil, but I do believe that a kind of a synergy between gamblers and gambling platforms is possible. For many people the money spent on gambling is much less than what they would spend on getting the same pleasure or the same amount of relaxation.
Well, each person is free to spend their money as they see fit, for me, in terms of having money and spending it in a casino, it is not bad as long as you have full control of the losses and the money you are willing to spend, because it is a way for fun, it is not bad when it is done responsibly, it is like people who like to spend money on gunpowder, according to some cultures they say that burning gunpowder brings good luck, for others they consider it as burning money, since they prefer to buy it in food or necessary things, or perhaps give it to the people who need it most, however for fun it will always be an expense, if you go on vacation to a place you will spend money, if you go to a casino then you will spend money, only with the caveat that you can recover or you can earn more.

Yes, I think one should treat their visit to a casino, land-based or online, as spending some money on their relaxation. You should never count on earning more. It can happen, sure, but you shouldn't count on it.


I completely agree with you on that point. If a person goes into a gambling casino with the wrong mindset, that negative way of thinking ends up in them not having fun and walking out completely frustrated because they did not fulfill their expectations of winning. And they have a ruined day or maybe even week for absolutely no good reason.

Gambling is and always should be treated as a fun experience just for the sake of recreation and relaxation. If you go inside the casino expecting not to win anything then you are not angry and disappointed when that happens.

More people should be psychologically preparing themselves before gambling.
1851  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet | Bitcoin Casino & Sportsbook | The No.1 Bitcoin Gambling Site on: December 20, 2022, 12:44:33 PM

Yes this is 100% real money. I think fraudsters put bad reviews, money laundering, and other crypto casino’s that want to lower the reputation for cloudbet.

I do not thing that they are fraudsters but usually when everything is Ok with casino people just play casino and do not write any reviews at all but when there are problems people begin to write about them on all the forums and monitors and sometimes they write about one problem several times and people thing that there is not one problem but many problems.

When casino is popular and have a lot of users always there are people who not happy by the work of casino. It is impossible always to win in casino also it is impossible that all people win in the casino. Always it will appear people who not glad by the work of the casino.
I didn't see current problem but this is true about always having problems when big.

In other words it is better to take any accusations or criticisms of large online gambling casinos with a pinch of salt due to the fact that it is impossible to please everyone and that many disgruntled gamblers like to unfairly take out their frustrations at losing large amounts of money on the casinos which they lost the money to. Its understandable human nature, but it can still damage the reputation of casinos, even though they did absolutely nothing wrong and were not at fault. The best thing to do is to view the evidence and amounts of complaints before making your decision on whether the casino is fair or not.

I know I am not pro or old here but I know little bit. I was saying that Bitcoin is just had always proven good start in December month and in first Quarter of New year and If history repeats than this will also be like God start of crypto Rally and I hope in this timeframe btc might go Upto 36k dollars before May crash.
We know that we cannot speculate Bitcoin price But I can say that as history repeats we can get chance and also a better judgement and it can be very risky.
That's Why Do your own research before putting money.

Unless one can find very good evidence of patterns having a connection to something which creates those patterns, it is not a good idea to assume those patterns will continue in the future. In other words, just because December seemed to always have been a good month for Bitcoin, does not mean that it is not just a simple coincidence which might or might not repeat in the future. Until we have further proof there is a cause for this, I would not be betting my money so soon.

Although investing in Bitcoin is, from my own subjective experience, a good idea at any point in time.
1853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 20, 2022, 10:05:39 AM
France lost a chance to be a first team can protect their trophy after Brazil many years ago. Mbappe will return to PSG with bad mood and relationship with Messi and Neymar. Neymar congratulated Messi but did not show anything for Mbappe.

Will PSG be able to win Champions League with internal conflict of their biggest attacking players?
Don't forget Mbappe is the most important player in PSG and he has a control to choose his teammates, managers etc, this mean Mbappe can request to put Messi on bench until he's satisfied with his revenge. Technically PSG has the best strikers among other clubs since they have Messi and Mbappe who become man of the match from the final world cup, while Neymar is also important for Brazil.

I think PSG is currently have an awkward situation or internal conflict between Mbappe and Messi, it just depends on Mbappe ego, he's young and a selfish person, so he can't control his own emotion.
I think Mbappe doesn't really have a problem with Messi and people are just making up drama to sell more papers that's it, and get more views. Look at how they play together, of course Mbappe would be unhappy about the fact that he lost to Messi, that is only human but he is grown enough to know that this is football and Messi has to work hard to beat Mbappe, that's the goal of playing, anyone in the entire world that plays against Mbappe will play to beat him, that's the nature of the game.

All in all he accepted a huge deal from PSG, biggest ever, and we are going to just have to accept that Messi is there for a while longer as well, and they will play together without an issue.
Mbappe's situation is the opposite of Messi's. He, too, wanted very much to win the Cup and did his best. He scored all three goals in that game, making him the second to get a hat-trick at the World Cup. He's only 24 and already doing very well, and unlike Messi, he's already had a world title. I'm sure he'll be just as great a footballer, if he isn't already. About their relationship with Messi, I don't think they will have any disagreements within the club, they are both normal people, not like Ronaldo or Ibrahimovich.

Mbappe may not have brought home the victory during the latest world cup but that has had no impact on him as far as his skills as a professional footballer goes. In contradiction, the very fact that he showed the world his skills match Messi's toe to toe, impressed a lot of people, me included.

This definitely was Mbappes winning the war but losing the battle. And I have never heard of Mbappe having troubles with Messi, so I would agree with the previous posters that that was all a fabrication just to sell the news and therefore get more views. People will be trying to squeeze all they can out of his current popularity, even if it means spreading bad/fake news.
1854  Economy / Economics / Re: A breakthrough in thermonuclear fusion technology! End of the era of hydrocarbon on: December 19, 2022, 04:32:46 PM
Scientists in the US have moved closer to achieving completely clean energy by achieving the first net energy gain in an inertial confinement fusion reaction. The experiment was carried out using a small granule of hydrogen plasma and the world's largest laser, writes the Financial Times, citing three interlocutors who got acquainted with the preliminary results of the work of scientists.

At the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, they managed to reproduce the process of nuclear fusion (the same process that occurs on the Sun) and get about 2.5 megajoules of energy, which is 120% higher than the energy used in lasers - 2.1 megajoules. Two FT sources noted that more energy was received than planned, causing damage to diagnostic equipment and making it difficult to analyze the results, a breakthrough already widely discussed by scientists.

https://www.ft.com/content/4b6f0fab-66ef-4e33-adec-cfc345589dc7


Your opinion ? Forecasts? Are we witnessing an unexpected end to the era of hydrocarbon fuels? Should all oil / coal / gas producing countries prepare for a "new poor life"?

I think the only currently feasible fusion fuel we can get in large quantities exists on the moon in the form of Helium-3. If we can somehow transport enough of that back to earth, fusion energy will be halfway ready. The other half is designing a fusion reactor which can function in perpetuity. Right now the inner workings of the reactor either melt away or give off by-products (caused by the heat) which interrupts the fusion process.

As far as fuel goes, not enough fuel exists naturally. So unless we find a way to fuse heavier elements, our only option is to mine the moon.

As to the physical Bitcoin shop in Nigeria, I am really loving it! We seem to be seeing a lot of shops pop up, in wealthy places but also in poorer places. With shops like this, anybody can invest in Bitcoin without having to worry about going through endless regulatory procedures (like for buying company shares).

But I do hope that nobody will be taken advantage of by being sold BTC at a too high rate... Which would be easy to do if the people buying the Bitcoin do not have regular access to the internet.

Just when Argentina seemed to be heading towards an easy win, France really powered up by 200% and almost brought home the win. And here I was, totally underestimating them. I really did not think France had what it takes to go toe to toe with Argentina like that in the last few minutes. Mbappe has gained my respect this World Cup.

The weekend ahead.

Morocco is the first African team in history to play in a World Cup semi-final and I must admit I was a bit upset (but not surprised) by their loss. I still can't believe that they managed to beat Spain and the Portuguese! I hope my boss won't scold me for my subjectivity, but on Sunday I'll be rooting for Argentina!  Cheesy

Well, it can be understandable seeing as they are trying out the world cup semi-final for the first time and that kind of skill gap in football is a completely different experience for them than anything that the Moroccan team have ever come up against up until now. Still, I thought that they did quite the good job and even I was rooting for them, despite never having thought that they could bring their team this far.

Portugal and Spain were definitely very tough opponents. It made me happy to see them destroyed by Morroco Smiley

I guess there are pleasant surprises in each world cup...

In my country up to 7 people I knew very well ( friends and family ) want me to help them invest money in crypto, after telling them the risk involved and how it will be better if they learn themselves they turn the idea down..

Now they want me to invest their own money on coins and they aren't ready to choose the coins they will like themselves.

After thinking this through and through I started feeling like they are doing this to hold me responsible if something goes wrong.

Is my thoughts right? If you are in my shoes what will you do?

I am not a lawyer nor do I offer investment advice but it seems to me that you are heading towards dangerous territory....

STAY AWAY from investing FOR others! If something goes wrong and somebody loses money, you will be made responsible and you will regret it. Investing in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies is not hard, its the easiest thing in the world which even a trained monkey could do without help. Show them a youtube tutorial or something.

At this stage of our development, we fully pay transaction costs. Maybe this will change in the future, but for now, that's the way it is.  Wink

That is a very noble gesture. Consider me pleasantly surprised.  Grin Not many casinos would be willing to miss out on profit for the sake of the comfort of their players.

However that does raise the question of whether or not this kindness could be possibly abused by malcontents, hackers, unfriendly casinos looking to damage your casino or other exploitative abusers?

From a slightly suspicious perspective, I think its best to take note of the mentioned casino's reputation. Is it squeaky clean or is it currently facing a PR disaster? How much are the up-keeping costs and could you provide a detailed list of said expenditures? What kind of team was behind the casino? Will they continue their work? Are there any investors involved who own part of the casino or is this a whole sale offer?

As some people have already mentioned, the ROI seems too low for such an asking price. Most of us do not want to wait a couple of decades to start making a profit. Is 1.5 Million the final price?
