I don't intend to pry, but you registered on May 7th, and yet you're discussing something that occurred almost 6 months ago when you weren't even registered and haven't experienced yourself. I'm not implying that this is an alt account, but I wouldn't be surprised because it does look a little suspicious.

Anyway, to answer your question, it's unlikely that a casino ban would ever take place, unless there's a ban on cryptocurrency casinos by the U.S. government (where this forum is registered, if I remember correctly), which would result in Theymos possibly getting in trouble for endorsing such services. However, this scenario currently sounds way too far-fetched.

And I'm back on the hunt against AI! This time, with another high-ranking member (Sr), he seems to be wearing the Vave signature of the @Julerz12 bounty campaign. I'm not sure if he's actually participating or if he has simply applied and he's wearing the signature, as there's no available public spreadsheet with the participants.

I've went ahead and reported his posts, however, all of them seem to be AI written, so there's no point in quoting more posts here for the report.

The decision to borrow money for gambling purposes can have serious and long-lasting results. Responsible gambling practices are essential for maintaining financial stability and overall well-being. Borrowing money to fund gambling activities is a risky and potentially damaging decision that should be avoided at all costs. By establishing and adhering to a strict gambling budget, recognizing the signs of addictive behavior, and seeking support when needed, individuals can enjoy the entertainment value of gambling without risking their financial security. It's very important for all individuals involved in gambling to prioritize responsible and sustainable practices, ensuring that the activity remains a source of enjoyment rather than a cause of hardship.

The Bankroll management is a critical aspect of responsible and successful gambling. It involves carefully controlling and allocating one's financial resources when engaging in any form of gambling, Effective bankroll management requires a disciplined, strategic approach that prioritizes long-term sustainability over short-term gains. This means setting a predetermined budget for gambling activities, dividing that budget into smaller, manageable units or "bets," and strictly adhering to those limits regardless of the outcomes. Improper bankroll management, such as chasing losses or betting more than one can afford to lose, can quickly lead to financial ruin and the development of problem gambling behaviors.

Jackpot win stories have always been an intriguing part of the gambling world. They are the ultimate fantasy for every gambler, promising the possibility of a life-changing hidden treasure. Ultimately, jackpot win stories have had a complex and multifaceted impact on my gambling routine. While they have fueled my excitement and motivation at times, they have also taught me valuable lessons about managing expectations and practicing responsible gambling. Finding the right balance between chasing the dream of hitting the jackpot and enjoying the thrill of gambling itself is an ongoing journey, but one that is ultimately rewarding in its own right.

It's very important, to be honest with yourself about the time and resources you have available before engaging in any kind of gambling activity. Gambling, whether it's sports betting, casino games, or online poker, requires a significant investment of your attention and focus in order to be done responsibly. If you find yourself with limited free time due to work, family obligations, or other commitments, then gambling should not be a priority. Trying to squeeze in gambling sessions when you're already pressed for time can quickly spiral out of control, leading to poor decision-making, financial troubles, and an unhealthy preoccupation with the activity.

When it comes to gambling, it's important to remember that there are no guarantees. Whether you're playing poker, blackjack, roulette, or betting on sports, the outcome is ultimately determined by a combination of skill, strategy, and luck. While some people may attribute their wins to destiny, it's more likely that they were simply in the right place at the right time. If you enjoy gambling, it's very important to set limits for yourself and to never bet more than you can afford to lose. Whether you believe in destiny or not, responsible gambling is about enjoying the experience while minimizing the risks.

Watching any sporting event or game can certainly be an enjoyable experience, but the element of placing a bet on the outcome can add an extra layer of excitement and engagement that elevates the experience to a whole new level. When you have some skin in the game, so to speak, with a financial stake riding on the result, it heightens the suspense and intensity as you follow the action unfold. The adrenaline rush of the potential to win or lose money based on the performance of the teams or players creates a palpable sense of anticipation that is simply not present when you are a passive observer without any bets placed. The thrill of victory is amplified when you've correctly predicted the outcome and profited from your bet,

I'm surprised that no one has replied again after the final matches of the Super League. At this point, PAOK winning wasn't a surprise at all, scoring 2-1 in the final game against Aris, while AEK won against Lamia with a score of 3-1. To be honest, if you had asked me a few weeks ago, I wouldn't expect PAOK to win, but AEK, as they were in the first position with a relatively reasonable point difference compared with the other teams. However, PAOK managed to turn things around and win basically at the last minute in the last few games of the Super League.

I'm guessing this is going to be it for this thread, at least until the next Super League.

You could have confirmed his words by joining the group to experience things for yourself to be sure if these things are true as he speaks. What amuses me is that the administrator of the group has to give each group member the money to use for his bet to later get back a percentage after the bets are won. That admin must be a good businessman  Kiss

I am aware about  these unpopular leagues competitions getting regular fix matches but still they don't get that easy to find  and a lot of so-called scammers uses this medium to extort lazy gamblers that are after cheap means of getting sport bet wins. Getting the right source to info about fixed match is 1/10, because of the consequences that can follow with if discovered.
I'm in the process of trying to join; I just haven't had the time to meet up with my friend due to different work schedules. I'm also amused by that, and he even told me that there were a few rare instances where the users took the betting money and left the group. I still can't be 100% certain about all this if I don't see it with my own eyes. In terms of consequences now, I do have my doubts. I mean, in such countries, authorities are often non-existent. Who's going to bother with a few fixed matches? In the worst-case scenario, the casino starts banning users and potentially matches from such countries.
This is something that could be considered as red flag, because this only means that they want to use your identity to place a bet on their behalf. Most probably, the casino requires KYC verifications If I'm not mistaken.
If they are truly involved in a fixed matches, then they will literally need other people to get involved than risking themselves getting caught doing it personally.
The only thing we need to remember, if someone wants to use our account, our identity on any platform, that means a red flag because these people are trying to use you to either do illegal stuff that they don't want to get themselves involved into or they are trying to abuse the TOS of that specific platform.
This for sure will entice a lot of people to let the other people use their identity as they can get a portion of the winning.
Certainly, it's you who's appearing to be gambling, and these casinos have all your personal details, things can easily take a turn for the worst. The so-called administrator is unlikely to face any trouble because h's likely to be using an account with fake details, while it could also be a way to launder money.
25  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fixed matches group in 3rd world countries on: May 20, 2024, 08:08:31 PM
Well, I have joined in a lot of fixed match groups both on Facebook and telegram, and for some, even on WhatsApp, but I've never come across any group where the admin of that group is the one distributing the money the members of that group us for betting on the fixed matches provided by the admin himself.
And I am sorry to say but this is hard to believe, I mean that I can't believe this to be true until I see and possible join this particular group myself.

And to the above, I would like to ask you why you have not joined the group?, atleast, you should tell your friend to give you the link to join the group, then join and confirm things for yourself, that is, be sure that your friend told you about this group is the truth, and possibly, try it out and tell us your own personal experience and not what your friend told you.
To be honest, it sounds too good to be true, and I'd prefer not to get involved in something scammy. I talked to my friend on Friday and said I could possibly join, but he advised against it because of my limited knowledge of sports betting. I do know some stuff, but it's mostly limited to my country's Super League for now, and I decided not to push it just yet. I was also afraid that it might work in a few cases and become greedy, until eventually it doesn't and gets screwed off, which is why I have avoided it so far. I was to see him today, but due to some personal issues, I couldn't; otherwise, I'd try to obtain more information and perhaps an invitation.

Not quite uncommon to be honest, I've seen it happen on larger threads, some of mine included, with users quoting the starting post when something else is being discussed in the latest replies, and they go, posting something completely irrelevant with the rest of the discussion. The issue is that it's not only new accounts doing this but also higher-ranked ones. I understand that it may happen, either because you read something wrong and understood something different, or because, as someone already mentioned, you were typing at the same time with another user. However, some users intentionally don't bother reading, and put in the minimum attempt to contribute to the discussion.

It's best to simply report such replies and get them removed, as other users may go ahead and reply and derail the discussion even further.
27  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are confident with your picks, do you win most of the time? on: May 20, 2024, 09:29:12 AM
I'm not the one participating in the match to be confident about it. Yes, there are times that I'm confident that I'm going to win, which is based on factors such as how well a team has been performing or how "fair" the match appears to be. Still, that doesn't mean much; there are times I was certain, but I lost. Even if the odds were in my favor, it's not something you can predict, as these things can easily change in the blink of an eye. In my opinion, confidence can work counterintuitively in gambling, leading to more and larger bets that may eventually lead to greater losses.

It's safe to claim that gambling is mostly about luck and probabilities; although sport betting involves other parameters as well, we have to face the fact that they cannot always be on our side, nor can we speculate on the outcome.
28  Economy / Economics / Re: Hyperinflation - Will it lead Countries to Adopt Bitcoin? on: May 20, 2024, 08:05:18 AM
The question is whether the hyperinflation is caused by some correctable factors which bitcoin can help in or not?

Bitcoin will not always solve hyperinflation, the condition of El Salvador should not be used to draw conclusions, South American countries are well known with inflation, bad living conditions and poverty that have sustained due to corruption, governments and many more reasons.

If they do adopt bitcoin, they should have a roadmap of how to solve the problem using bitcoin, which most governments would fail at.
That's correct. How can Bitcoin be beneficial against hyperinflation, and how can it be implemented in our daily lives to tackle that? I personally don't see how; perhaps it could work as an individual, but not nationwide. El Salvador's Bitcoin adoption wasn't really a huge success either, at least in terms of adoption by the public. Has the government earned money through its investments? Probably, especially with current prices, which may fund the public sector, such as schools, hospitals, and general infrastructure. We should also note that El Salvador managed to do exactly what you mentioned: tackle corruption and gang wars, which are ruining living conditions and the country's economy, and this is where most countries facing hyperinflation suffer.
29  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fixed matches group in 3rd world countries on: May 19, 2024, 09:34:44 PM
I figure trying don't cause too much harm if you go in with reasonable hopes.  MAAManda raises a good point too - if these people really had solid info that works, they'd just be using it themselves and raking in the cash.  So before you even think about joining, make sure to watch your back.  Maybe use fake profiles you don't care about getting banned or something. Just be careful because if it sounds too good to be true, it always is.  And these sport betting sites will slam that ban hammer down fast if they catch a whiff of you using some service to try beating them.

Ultimately it's your call.  If you try it, go low-risk.  But something tells me you already know better than to bet big on questionable tips from Internet strangers.  In the end, trust your gut bet what you can lose, and don't expect miracles.

Good luck either way though!

MAAManda's point is accurate; this whole story sounds like the so-called entrepreneurs you find on social media boasting how much money they make, and they can teach you as well, for the amount of $X. Who in the right mind would share their niche in making money and risk saturating it? However, this story sounds a bit different; the administrator is supposedly banned from casinos and is using other users to his advantage, while he remains mostly anonymous. Although this might as well be an excuse, there's the possibility it contains some grain of truth.

I find this whole case quite sketchy. Even if my friend is appearing to make a reasonable amount of money, I also feel like something is off. Will it be a purposely wrong bet in order to make the exit scam, or will I get in actual trouble for participating in such matches? Who knows?
30  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance Launchpool, a possible earning opportunity? on: May 18, 2024, 05:33:31 PM
different times, different market, different tokens and different investors's confidence in them as a result.
Certainly, this rule cannot apply to every project; they supposedly serve a different purpose, have different developers, etc. I'm just a little disappointed in the latest launchpool projects. I was used to making a decent amount of money through them, but at some point, their frequency was so high that before one project was over, another was announced.
Binance is a very good exchange if a token is listed here it has a good value, but not all coins have a good profit. so it is better to research your project and not hold all the tokens and keep the potential coins and sell the rest. Although these are free rewards so there is no chance of loss. so if you want to hold all of them then if one of them pumps a lot then you get a lot of profit. For example, when SOL was listed, I got 140 free SOLs and sold them for under $1 per SOL, which now has huge value. If I had held it then instead of selling it, I would have got a much bigger amount now.
You can never know, and personally, I don't have enough available time to research every single project that's listed on Binance Launchpool, and even if I do, it doesn't mean that it'll actually change anything; there is never a guarantee on how these coins develop. I sold ENA at approximately $0.90 to $1 more or less; I can't remember exactly, and a few hours later it surpassed $1.25, and upon checking, it had even reached as high as $1.49.

Until you try it directly and explain the experience, I'll never believe the Telegram or Facebook groups you're referring to. The basic reason is from my experience of gambling on football since high school and joining many betting signal groups, but none of them are truly legit, back to the words that I think make the most sense as to why they're a scam are "simply if they ( admins) have accurate information, they don't have to make signals because they can enrich themselves".
I'm willing to, but I haven't had the opportunity yet. I'll probably discuss it with my friend next week. I'm fully aware that money doesn't grow on trees, and something that sounds too good to be true probably isn't. I've never joined any signal groups in the past, simply because I don't trust them. Why would anyone give information when they could use it themselves? This case seems different a little from what we're used to, but that doesn't make it legit in the long run. Even if I involve myself in the group, it would still be reasonable to be skeptical about it. Just because it works now and pays doesn't mean it's going to in the next one or two months; that's exactly how Ponzis' work.
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance Launchpool, a possible earning opportunity? on: May 18, 2024, 02:07:33 PM
blame the market and the jeets.
binance has been heavily fudded for launching tokens at a mc higher than what it should be and dumping soon after.
now everybody's selling first chance they get. not saying they're wrong. if you know price is gonna dump, you don't wanna be the last to sell.
but it's a shame because some of those are actually decent projects, like OMNI, SAGA, ALT...
maybe people should grow some balls and hold otherwise they might miss the next AXS or MATIC (previous launchpads too). i can tell, i earned a shitton of AXS in 2020... that i sold a few months after just before it boomed.
I see. Unfortunately, I didn't sell some of the latest coins that I acquired through Launchpool, and now they've plummeted. I had noticed that a large number of projects surpassed the initial launch price a few days after they got listed, such as Cyber, ENA, SEI, and a few others that I don't currently recall, making me decide to hold these and not sell them the moment trading opened. Unfortunately, I'm at work when they're listed, so I might not always have the ability to be present the exact moment they're listed, and Notcoin was one of those that should have been dumped the second it was possible.
33  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can You Submit KYC Before You Win Big on: May 18, 2024, 01:02:22 PM
What difference does it make? Submitting your documents right after registration might set you up for going through an unnecessary KYC process that you ultimately might not need; I'd just opt for it when I'm asked to verify. Just wait it out; if you eventually manage to return a large win, proceed to submit your documents if you're asked, and you're good to go. A casino isn't going to block your withdrawal for no reason; they're not going to ruin their reputation for a few hundred dollars. Unless you have something sketchy going on or are not using a reliable and trusted casino, there's no reason to worry about KYC.
34  Economy / Economics / Re: Ever dreamt of turning your passion into profit? on: May 18, 2024, 10:52:33 AM
People often have hobbies that they are passionate about. Whet they dont have is the businessman mindset that allows them to monetize that hobby. A stamp collector might have many stamps but is unable to pitch them to other collectors to sell.

A game reviewer might be a great writer but does not want to make the blog to publish those reviews.

So the risk taking behavior needs to be there to start it off. Along with that if they are financially stable, there might be more chances that they can bring it fruition.
It's not only what you mentioned, but there needs to be an available audience as well. Are stamp collections still a thing? Are there still buyers out there, and if yes, what kind are they interested in, and how profitable are they? Do people still read blogs? They've gone out of fashion, and a large number of people prefer video content nowadays, which thus requires the ability to pivot when necessary. If I'm honest, turning your passion into a profitable business isn't always feasible, not to mention that there are people who don't know what they're truly passionate about and may never find one, while from what I've observed, a large number of us, including myself, do jobs that we don't like for the majority of our lifetime.

With that being said, sometimes it's best to take the risk, but that's easier said than done.

The Suppression of Alternative Education:

In addition to standardisation, Rockefeller’s influence extended to suppressing alternative educational models that posed a threat to the industrialist agenda. Independent and progressive educational methods that encouraged critical thinking and individualism were sidelined in favor of a system designed to produce obedient workers.

Έτσι εξηγούνται πολλά (γιατί το κράτος θέλει να υπάρχει ΜΙΑ εκπαίδευση, ΕΝΑ νόμισμα, ΜΙΑ σχολή σκέψης, ΕΝΑ αφήγημα κλπ κλπ.)

Όσο χαοτικός/πολυδιασπασμένος και να είναι ο χώρος του open-source (Linux/BSD distros, cryptocurrencies) τουλάχιστον υπάρχει ένα γνήσιο diversity, δοκιμάζονται διαφορετικά πράγματα και στο τέλος θα δούμε τι θα επικρατήσει. Αυτό σημαίνει ελεύθερη αγορά (με τα καλά της και τα στραβά της).

Κάθε νομοσχέδιο που βγαίνει σχετικά με την εκπαίδευση δεν είναι τίποτα άλλο από το να βάλει ο εκάστοτε υπουργός τη βούλα του, ότι κάτι έκανε και αυτός, μόνο που το σύστημα θέλει ριζικές αλλαγές.

I don't think so, most of them are scammer may be 95%+ . Don't believe on those scammers groups, I have seen lots of telegram group and channel that they are giving free betting signals and as well as also the trading signals but the most interesting things is their followers or members are high amounts but those are hidden. But they are continuously showing that their customers reviews that the user are getting profit from their signal here I noticed that there is no way to see or give them negative feedback they just bought the members. So I have no doubt about they are scammers. So always be aware of these and don't get into trap
 
That's what I also believed until I saw it with my eyes; however, that doesn't mean it's not a scam, at least not yet. If it wasn't for my close friend and seeing it in person, I'd call it bullshit as well. As I've also mentioned earlier, I wouldn't doubt if the group's administrator persuades everyone to bet on a specific match and proceed to exit the scam  by giving the wrong information and without distributing money as well. We can't be sure just yet; only time will tell.
This is the most legit way of having an info on the fixed match because you are given money to bet and you'll just getting shared with the winning. No risk on your side, unless you got caught for this illegal activity. Other people are offering it differently, they want you to subscribe to their group and you'll have to pay just to get a fixed matches info, those are so called outright scams.
There's certainly the risk of getting banned from the casino; I'm not sure if there are going to be any repercussions. Being caught once with a few fixed bets is unlikely to get you into too much trouble, but it's always best to not be involved altogether.
37  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fixed matches group in 3rd world countries on: May 18, 2024, 06:17:50 AM
I haven't seen groups like this before, but I remember a guy here in the forum who posted a thread(not sure what happened to it, I can't find it, it probably got deleted) about offering fix matches but in return, he gets 50%(I am not if it is 50% or lower) of the winnings, I don't remember if the guy is the one going to provide the money with the bets or the person who took his offer. anyway, I don't haven't tried or even thought about of joining groups like this.
That's interesting, another user also mentioned it previously, I'm guessing the thread is deleted and the user is already banned.
There's good reason many sites don't feature matches from let's say Africa. When the stakes are very low and players are paid very little compared to international standards, it's very probable that the teams or even individual players will engage in match fixing. And in today's sports gambling, there's markets for everything, even who gets a red card, which an individual player can fix very easily even on his own. So instead of offering a sub-par experience to players with bad odds and restricted markets, many bookies will opt to never feature an entire league at all.

Of course match fixing has been alleged for bigger well paid leagues too and even the NBA. But in these cases on the rare occasion it happens, it gets discovered and followed by strict action. Maybe there's more that we don't know but at least from what I understand it's not anything crazy that could be happening as these leagues seem very competitive.
This was my main question: which websites feature these matches? I was surprised that there were sites such as Novibet or Bwin, major casinos, that ask for KYC and have your personal details on hand. My question was if such matches were featured in cryptocurrency casinos found here, such as Rollbit, Stake, Roobet, etc., in which it would be easier to hide and avoid KYC, up to some degree at least.
I hope that the people who are participating in this group of fixed matches will be wiser and leave the group because fixed matches are prohibited and from what I have read these fixed matches are considered crimes

In third world countries like my country, people who are caught betting on fixed matches are arrested and I believe that in many countries things work that way, which is why in my opinion it's not worth getting involved in things like that. like, firstly because it is a crime, secondly because the person will be banned from betting shops, thirdly because people from these groups should not be trusted, it could be that someone from the group reports it to the police and then the police reward the person who reported it and arrest everyone of the group
To be honest, I highly doubt that it's going to get that out of hand to be faced with criminal charges. Although I understand it's illegal, I believe that it's too exaggerated from the side of the gambler, the administrator could is way more likely to get in trouble. Generally, it's best to avoid such situations where it sounds too good to be true.
38  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fixed matches group in 3rd world countries on: May 17, 2024, 07:42:08 PM
This sounds strange if I may say, because this is actually my first time hearing of this strategy whereby an admin provide a sure fixed game, share money to it's members to gamble and then share the profit 50/50.  Because if this is actually true just the way you explained, then it means the admin is literally losing money every single day, rather than gaining.
To be honest, the 50/50 share is a mistake from my end, my friend didn't specify what percentage is shared with the administrator, I don't know how I came up with that number, the maths don't match, you're right.
It doesn't prove that the one who sponsor the bets will make profits at all and I am thinking of these whole scenario in different perspective like laundering money in the most organic way, that's what hit my mind when I read someone giving money to everyone and need to return a part of the profits in return and I am sure there will be a catch for the lost amount and sure the admin will compensate the losses with the profits of other bets so he even make no profit still he laundered the money via desperate gamblers, isn't it?
That's also a possibility, he's sending "dirty money" and receives back the laundered money with no ties back to him. I don't know how he's distributing the money yet, I'll try to gather more information and report back here.
doesn't add up still. when he could get the whole amount by himself. but maybe OP should bring the link here for people to investigate and not us just guessing. but he must have been benefiting from all these and doesn't want to poop that party for doing so.

but fixed matches are being done in the top-level organization. they were once the maffia but turned into a federation or organization in sports who decides the outcome of who will be the champ and whos not.
I don't have a link, I'll try asking for more details from my friend and join the group if possible. The group is supposedly "invite only" for a selected number of people.

First, if you haven't tried it directly then the wins you get in that group are still a possibility or luck. Information about matches being fixed isn't open information and is easily spread to the public. I've a friend who has an acquaintance who's a match fixer in a tier 3 football league. In fact, my friend couldn't get that information, because it was exclusive information that was only given to bookies.

Whatever it's about signals, never believe it, it's about luck and a little analysis skill that the admin gives you, simply if they (admins) have accurate information, they don't have to make signals because they can enrich themselves.
No, I haven't, but I saw myself in the bets, the teams, and all the details, along with the win amounts. It was a handful of bets, and I find it hard to believe that it's all luck, especially if you see some scores, such as 0–7 in Tier C football in Guatemala or India. I'd be willing to try it for a short period of time for the sake of the community and report back; however, I don't want to risk my own money, of course. I'm not claiming that this is legit, and even if it yields money, it might be a well-run scam that slowly builds trust in an attempt to lure you into making a huge bet that's going to be a flop.
In the huge world of gambling, these kinds of groups exist exclusively, and information or access to them will not be easy to get. Fixed matches are not common, but they must exist, not only in third-world countries.

I will not be interested in joining these kinds of groups; I may become too dependent on them. It will remove the fun from sports betting and make me focus too much on strictly making money.
That's true; some of the money is supposedly funding the actual sources who came up with the fixed matches. Of course, all this information should be taken into account with a grain of salt.

Technically, anything is possible. There is no doubt that there are fixed matches and sports betting manipulations. There's a whole underground betting scene, sure, but this situation with your friend reeks of a classic scam with a shiny new coat of paint.

High odds, 50/50 profit split? Red flags everywhere. If someone's "giving away" money on sure bets, why wouldn't they keep it all?  You say admin is banned from gambling platforms so he can't bet by himself, but what about his real life friends and family members? Instead he needs some FB "friends" to share the profits with? Where's the logic in that? I think this is a classic trick to build trust. They throw you a couple of wins to make it seem legit before the inevitable "big one" that disappears with all your "shared" profits.

I'm not sure; to be honest, I don't know if it's a 50/50 profit split either; I don't recall if he told me. It sounds like a too-good-to-be true classic scam, but it is also the perfect way to get blacklisted from casinos. One idea is that in that way, he has 100 people betting for him and gets a decent cut from each win, something he possibly can't do himself. Perhaps if you're careful enough and don't get greedy over time, you might end up with a reasonable amount of money.
I don't get the point either. Sometimes the rigged matches are obvious in plain sight especially when someone peony is matched to Goliath. But the facebook group admin described by OP doesn't make sense.

What does he get from doing that stuff while he lets them wager using his money, he gets half and the user gets half.  
Did the casino ask KYC on those facebook group users? Because it seems to me there is a deeper scam behind it like using their names and pictures and FB profiles.
As far as I know, the casinos used are "centralized" ones, not cryptocurrency ones that sometimes don't even ask for KYC. They even deduct the income tax at withdrawal. My friend himself has made a few accounts with his friend's and family's details in case his own ends up banned.
