Share your experience about this facts in your gambling games,if you have any other for the stress free game.You can share the experience,it may help some new gambler.

If you deposit the amount you can afford to lose, and you play with minimal bets, any game will be the stress-free. It's more about playing the game and having fun, enjoying the moment... The opposite is when someone plays just to earn more, or need to recover what's lost, that's not "stress-free" playing.

If gambling and losing money are too stressful for someone, then it would be best to stop gambling. Simply as that... gambling is not for everyone, and it's too stressful stop it on time and try to find fun in some other activities.

You're probably going to have a hard time finding one because most trusted casinos have it in their Terms of Service to not allow you to use VPN to access their casinos, I wouldn't risk it if that's going to be the case because they'll lock you out a bit too late, when you finally deposited something and you will find it difficult to get it back because you've breached their Terms of Service which you've agreed upon. Maybe you can be excused with the use of VPN if you're from a country that strictly prohibits gambling or the casino doesn't have any website there, that can be understandable but other than that, it's probably not a good idea to use one. NordVPN worked well for me but I didn't use it for casino or gambling purposes.

From their FAQs:

This is related to bc.game sport, but I think it also applies to the gambling part of their platform.
Additionally, there are mirror sites available which may work in your country: https://forum.bc.game/topic/10137-the-solution-on-the-issue-with-bc-being-blocked-in-some-contries/

As you can notice it's from BC.Game ANN thread. There are crypto casinos that don't allow VPN, but some casinos don't have anything against using it. I used to use a VPN just to be able to play some third-party providers, and I never encountered any issues because of that.

It's hard to give any advice about this matter, if we decide to play with a VPN we have to be aware that there may be some issues… I strongly believe that if we are fair players we will not face any issues, my experience is like that, but who knows? If someone plans to use a VPN for playing in some casino he needs to check their ToS and even better ask their support about it. I used VPN in crypto casinos that stated in their ANN threads that they have nothing against VPN users, and as I said I never faced any issues because of that.
23  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in-$200 FreeBTC⭐Win Lambo🔥0.2BTC DailyJackpot🏆$32,500 Wager Contest on: May 21, 2024, 03:49:30 PM
I'm curious how much Bitcoin he spent to get it all, because the winner of the previous round of Lambo he said he spent quite a lot of Bitcoin and of course with this user.
Maybe he also has a lot of referrals so there is a certain percentage of tickets he gets from his referral activity and he will also get a lot of reward points which he can exchange for Bitcoin to be able to stay active in this casino.
And what is no less impressive is the user below who got a prize of 0.05 Bitcoin with just 760 tickets, because there are certainly many who have millions of tickets but failed to become winners.

This guy is wagering really huge amounts, continuing to break his records in this regard. Honestly, I think he doesn't need referrals, and it looks like he wagered more than 600 BTC to get that many lottery tickets.
By the way, he will probably win this round of the weekly lottery as well. Just look at how much he has already wagered in the current daily leaderboard:


This is insane wagering, +$10M wagered on Multiply BTC game most likely... I wonder how big his bankroll is, and like Strongkored, I'm interested in whether he is in the red after playing like this. It often happens that the rewards cannot cover what we have lost. But this guy plays with a lot of money and collects a lot of rewards on the site... especially if he also has 500k FUN tokens locked up. Maybe he is in the profit, he is a super big whale by many standards so I guess he knows what he is doing.

We can assume that this user will have hundreds of thousands of tickets for the next Lambo draw as well and big chances for another win... or maybe it's turn for someone with just a few tickets. Smiley

...
I just want to know, How have jackpot stories affected your gambling routine?

Have you ever increased the amount you normally used in betting just because someone you know won big by betting with a greater amount?

I don't think jackpot stories can influence one's gambling habits/routines. It's nice to hear a story about a big win or watch a video about it. There are a lot of games and I believe that anyone who likes a game likes to watch or hear a story about a big win in that game. I like to watch these things and I believe it influences me to want to play that game the next time I gamble. I believe that is the case with most people, when we see something interesting to us, we want to try it.

Playing with higher stakes brings more excitement, that's why we like to increase the stakes sometimes. When we watch someone playing big we wish to play big as well, but we need to know our limits and our "max bet" limit.
25  Economy / Economics / Re: Luxury items stock will be good way to go on: May 20, 2024, 09:41:32 PM
I think Luxury items brands cucci Ferrari or some yacht companies Luxury resorts and hotels.
and even in recression those things always on high demand and when we look at geopolitical situation all over the world by all those issues at the end more and more wealth will go to hands who will consume luxury goods...

And how much money do you need to invest in a luxury brand? Give me an example of what you are writing about, what kind of luxury brand would you invest in right now?

I believe most people on the forum believe in crypto more than luxuries... and most of us would rather choose crypto over anything else. One of the good things about crypto is that there is no minimum investment, anyone can start with some minimum investment amounts. And that's probably less important than the fact that real crypto investments can bring big returns, in a short time.

So people who are already very rich will look for luxury items just to diversify their portfolio, but those who want to get rich will try to find their luck in crypto.
26  Economy / Gambling / Re: Freebitco.in - FUN Token Investment Experiment on: May 20, 2024, 07:12:37 PM
If you were to sell your FUN tokens on FreeBitco.in right now, you would only get 6 sats per token. A new all time low. The trading volume on Binance seems healthy at over $1 million in the past 24 hours, but when you compare it to another major CEX like Bitfinex it is only $8. There is a likelihood that a lot of the volume on Binance is from wash trading, considering how massive the difference is between these exchanges.

With the amount of AI shill accounts inundating their Telegram, it wouldn’t surprise me if they were also doing something to artificially boost their trading volume and keep it looking somewhat healthy to prevent the price from completely collapsing.

As much effort as they’re putting in to keep up appearances, the long term trends don’t look good. This token’s price may eventually fall to below 1 satoshi.

It's like they don't care much about the FUN token, it has its purpose from the beginning and there have been no changes since they started. They have some casino partners where we can gamble with FUN tokens and that's it. They didn't do anything to make it more attractive than it is... but it's the case with most casinos and their tokens, they do nothing or very little about their native tokens.

I agree that the long-term doesn't look good, it's falling and I wonder what can stop this fall? A long time ago I believed that 20 sats was the bottom, but now I am unsure where that bottom is, and should we even think about getting some FUN tokens?

27  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The best Wager Strategy? on: May 20, 2024, 06:03:05 PM
That's actually very good point. I jumped to conclusions and stand corrected. Just calling it a strategy doesn't indicate it would be a winning strategy. And i didn't even thought about competitions. I never saw that betting high volume with low odds would be beneficial for just bonuses or cash/rakeback, but it might be more beneficial tactic when we are "mining" casino's native tokens (if they have them). And thhose tokens were the reason why i was interested in leveling up at the first place, but leveling up is just a sideproduct of the volume.

Other times, when i am gambling, only strategies i have are in poker (reading people) and sports betting (looking at the stats) where i can use my it as an edge.

Nice reminder, some people (including myself at some times) who are into dividend-based casinos use wagering strategies to mine more tokens. We get casino tokens that we can stake, level up faster, get rackeback, and compete in many competitions that casinos offer.

There are various strategies for almost every game, but when it comes to "wagering strategies" they are different because you play just about wagering. It always starts slow, you set up auto betting and you wait... There are many strategies, like the ones in videos, or you can play just x2 without any rising, x2.75 with a 50% bet raise after every loss. These strategies are pretty safe, and with some luck, we can play thousands of rolls without losing any bankroll. But when it's not working and we face constructive losses our bankroll falls and we need to play more aggressively. That's when things can really heat up, we raise the stakes, and we chase a quick recovery. I call it frenzy betting, it is quite exciting but very unpredictable. Especially for us little players who want to wager a lot with small and limited bankrolls. We risk a lot and get into "live or die" situations more than some low-level high roller.
28  Economy / Economics / Re: How to improve your condition? on: May 19, 2024, 03:56:08 PM
...
I belong to a country where jobs are non-existent, offline work is not something that can earn more money with less work or even with more work, it has become very difficult to earn a living with dignity. Online jobs are not allowed in our country, especially trading, so my question is, what job can a person do and improve his condition?

There is no map to get rich, I think that's the point... you have to work, you have to meet people, you have to be able to take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way. And if luck looks at you, one of the opportunities will be a golden one. So no one can give you real advice on this. You are the one who has to look around you, look at your surroundings, and what possibilities are there for you. When you do that, take a step in a direction that suits you best, and never stop trying and giving your best and maybe you will get lucky.

That's why I like to compare life with gambling... Whether we want to admit it or not, the luck factor is very important in both of them, and both require that we constantly try to reach better results. Being in the right place at the right time and making the most of your move is the most important thing in life.
29  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake curse strikes again, rapper loses on Fury, Usyk bet on: May 19, 2024, 12:27:15 PM
Also, I am curious why there’s always news of how he losses but none of how he wins. And there’s no way you’ll tell me he hasn’t been winning as well.

He is winning for sure... He is not only a sports bettor, but he also plays other games with very high stakes, he even streams some of that playing. So I guess this $500k loss for him is not a big deal, and I wouldn't call it a curse definitely. As all gamblers in some games we win in others we lose, it's how it's going. Gambling life is full of ups and downs...

And as far as I followed some of his gambling stories, it seems to me that he bets on people who are close to him in some way, so some of his bets come more from his heart as a form of support than as calculated bets. In any case, what we see from Drake is that he is gambling like crazy with large sums, and that attracts attention.


30  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Accessing gambling sites only on desktop as a means to prevent addiction on: May 19, 2024, 09:59:04 AM
...

it will work for those who are new to gambling, but if a person has been gambling for a long time using a mobile device and then you transfer it to a desktop, it will not be an effective solution to reduce gambling addiction. Also, if an individual is really determined to be a responsible gambler, no matter what way or device is used, it will not end up being an addiction. maybe it would be better if there was a best practice to avoid reaching such a state of life.

Those who want to gamble will find a way to do it... online through a device (and now there are many and there is internet everywhere), or in a physical casino on the corner, gambling opportunities are all around us. So as you say, it's not about moving away from gambling, it's about controlling those habits and being a responsible gambler. It's the way to keep the troubles away, by practicing safe play, and never reaching deep into the pockets for gambling money.

But it's easy to talk about it with a cool head, what is hard is to stay silver and cool when we are in the fire and gambling like crazy... gambling fever can catch anyone at any time, but even in those moments we need to know our limits (how much money we can spend) and to try not to cross them.

Notblox didn’t make a deposit and he didn’t wait 24 hours.

Yes, it seems that notblox1 has been too hasty in both tagging the OP and creating a flag, which at the moment only he supports. It's good to have reservations but receiving new projects like this one with aggressiveness doesn't seem to me to be acceptable. When a new project comes along we can never be sure whether it will end up scamming or not, but what we have seen so far does not lead us to reasonably conclude that the OP and his project are scamming.

I think he rushed a bit too, after all, this is a new site and they seem to have an inexperienced team. This is certainly not an excuse, but we have seen many casinos make a similar mistake with no deposit bonuses... too many spammers, many of them win something and want to withdraw money, and when there are no ToS and clear rules chaos is inevitable. They will probably need some time to clear the air and do something about this mess.

I can't say I like this simple look, it's like the team decided to throw something out in a hurry without much work. I don't know how much people like this generally compared to modern casinos. I will wait until this mess is over and maybe try these 20 free spins...
32  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The best Wager Strategy? on: May 19, 2024, 06:27:34 AM
Term "wager strategy" is misleading in the title because it indicates it would be for profits. Calling it leveling up strategy would be more accurate.

It's not misleading, a wager strategy does not guarantee or indicate it will make any profit, what more we are more likely to lose than win. People use them to level up faster, but we use them in many daily/weekly competitions/promotions where everything is about wagering as well...
Wagering strategies are very risky, in order to get some rewards (from leveling up or some promotion) we have to be very lucky to survive and not lose everything in the process. If we lose everything at the very beginning, we won't even get to earn any consolation prize... I lost everything many times right before the end of the wagering wars... losing a few deposits and not getting the prize from wagering wars can be disappointing. And the prizes from lvl up and cash/rackeback are not even close to my losses.

All three videos are the same...  they all chase small multies, two guys are raising stakes after loss and have stop-loss, and one plays without stop loss but he doesn't raise stakes after loss. After wagering a lot and suffering some losses all three of them advise "recovery" by playing some other game (also luck-based)...

With wagering a lot of money there comes certain excitement, we are forced to play aggressively and risk a lot. I have done this many times, and there are really good days when everything goes great. I wager a lot, when I try to recover I hit the "right bets" and from winning nicely and all the prizes the feeling is good. But sooner or later bad days come when nothing is working and we face crazy losing streaks on all odds, and we just lose money without winning anything.

...
So between the two where are you more hyper-focused and how many hours do you spend on one compared to the other?

Before I voted, I thought that many more votes would go to "online gambling" and that probably many people who started to gamble online don't even think about returning to physical casinos. I'm one of those people who won't go back to physical casinos. And the score is 32 to 1 for online gambling... I don't count how much time I gamble, I do it when I can, probably shorter than some and longer than others.. one of the beauties of online gambling is that I can do it whenever I can without a big hassle.

But does the rest of the world think about online vs physical casinos? The numbers are only growing and the gambling market is expanding in all directions. If we can believe the statistics, online gambling is constantly growing:

Quote
2022 saw the gambling scene make $449.04 billion worldwide, with online gambling contributing $74.42 billion (16.58%) of the total revenue

The worldwide iGambling market expected to generate close to $90 billion in 2023, 12% of the total gambling industry revenue. Also, analysts project the market to rise at the annual rate of 9.1% and reach $124 billion by 2027.

An interesting question would be whether online casinos will generate more money than physical ones one day. And if it is possible when it could happen.

it's been clear for a long time that coins.game is done with the forum and there's little chance we will see them again...

It would be foolish to jump to a conclusion based on only one side. We have not heard anything from the other side.
...
...
Well that's right its hard to jump on certain conclusion while we didn't here on both sides yet. So maybe its best to wait for certain things based on what they have been discussed...

The thing is that Coins.game doesn't respond to complaints anywhere...so the chances are very slim that we will hear their side of the story. They don't respond to complaints on review sites either.

Complaints and accusations are not the problem, every casino faces those things. The problem is that coins.game management decided, for some reason, to go silent rather than respond to the allegations. They could show that they are interested in finding solutions when a player encounters a problem and that they are present (the support is doing their job) and ready to communicate. But there was nothing of that, only silence... they could have shown themselves much better, after all, these accusations they have are not for very big money for the casino (at least according to some of my calculations). The bottom line, they could have handled this better.

Do you think credit/debit cards will still be a thing after the launch of CBDCs? If not, why? Will payment processors like PayPal, Visa, and Mastercard survive? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley

I don't believe there won't be many changes in the way it works, debit/credit cards won't exist, but as you say there will be an application that will do everything the same as the card but much faster and better. I think that the change that is coming is related to stricter monitoring, so goodbye to any kind of privacy.

Debit and credit cards will always exist in some form, people will never stop depending on some services and their loans/credits. It seems to me that many large companies, including the ones you listed, have more users who use the mobile application than the card itself anyway. Modern times, but I still like to feel cash in my pocket, or Bitcoins in my wallet...

Avoid coins.game. They've just asked for KYC after I submitted a wd request and then when I submitted my KYC they said they would take 14 working days to process. Lo and behold, they have closed my account and stolen all my funds - over 8k.

Please provide a detailed narrative of this accusation on this board https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 to make this report official and help forum users aware about your issue against this casino.

This casino receives a lot of complaints without any response from the casino representatives. A case like yours with valid proof will help the DT to provide necessary feedback against this casino reputation here in the forum.

You can use this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0 as guidline on how to create a scam accusation thread against this casino.

If he already came to the forum, he could probably make a thread in the scam accusation section, with all the evidence. I doubt it will help him, it's been clear for a long time that coins.game is done with the forum and there's little chance we will see them again, but it can help other players (mostly new) by warning them about the shady behavior of this casino.

Lots of complaints about the coins.game casino, both here on the forum and review sites. I didn't notice that even one complaint was resolved positively, they don't seem to care about all those complaints and are just waiting for us all to forget them.

Not to bore us with many words... I want to ask to know about forum members opinions and views about this. Is it what it is or it's just a fallacy?

To know whether it is your destiny or not, you have to give it a try... If you try more times you will have more chances to win, but in any case, there are no guarantees. The thing about gambling is that nothing is ever 101%, the chances of winning or losing are always present, no matter how small or large those chances are.

It is what it is, in my opinion. It is up to us to try and try, and whether we will be lucky or not we will see at a given moment. We can believe in destiny, but I don't think that really helps, players shouldn't allow themselves to be carried away with the opinion that "their time to win is near", such a thing doesn't exist. It can only cloud the player's mind and cause them to make a hasty move and lose everything

but the sad thing in this is that OP is not given a chance to take the funds all in instead via Installment
I don't know what is their plans or maybe they just wanted to let the winner try his luck more? because they
knew that for sure that player will be attempting to gamble more since he has funds inside that casino and
since he cannot take them out so he has no choice but to gamble more?
there was this case in the past that I read in this forum that has the same situation and that said
claimant have lose all the money even the casino let him withdraw because of that delaying tactics , I will
not deal with this site for sure.


I don't like these limitations, they allow people to bet high and if they win they delay their payments for months... It's a shady practice, and sadly many casinos have these withdrawal limitations. Delaying tactic just to make players continue to gamble, or they don't wish to hurt their "bankroll" too much, anyway it's not fair.

Well, OP shared that he got 5 ETH. Maybe he will come again and share more about his story with ETHCasino. I would like to know if he will get his money in the end.

Did you guys trust on gambling algorithms
There is no need to trust them because that's already on them. It's up to you if you're going to keep on testing your through them despite knowing that it's going to be hard for you to know the actual truth about it.

Once we decide to gamble we trust the casino and their fairness... It's the same with slot providers, once we start spinning we believe that slot provider is not "rigged".

Gambling losses are not traps to new games, some people think that changing the game will help them win, and some of us like to try out new games. Many different things can drive someone to change the game, and I can't connect traps with changing the game.

One of my gambling friend said this “Gambling losses are the traps for the gamblers to get into gambling again.”He added when the gambling loss was increases,most of us will do the gambling to recover the old loss.Because no one earning money without work,So our wish will be to balance the old losses in the gambling site.Share your opinion on this.

There is nothing clever about these words... the guy got lost in gambling and thinks he can get his money back by gambling more and with higher stakes. In theory, it's possible, if you have a big bankroll, patience, and a cool head... but your friend is rushing into disaster with borrowed money to gamble even harder.

This topic has come up quite a few times over the years on this board.  A lot of the discussion around it has mostly been others opinions.  I found this neat little graph online (instagram) from the New York Times that compares the two.  Now keep in mind one's location will certainly have an effect on which one might make more sense, even in what part of you own country you're in.

It doesn't matter where anyone is, I think it's a similar thing everywhere... it's the location that matters. The better the location, the higher the price per square meter both when renting or buying. In my opinion, it's better to buy a property, even with credit... after 20-30 years you will have your own house, and with renting after 30 paying for rent all that time you will still not have anything.

I decided to buy a house 8 years ago... I'm still paying it off, but if I had been paying rent all these years I would have nothing of my own.
