Stupidity could be truly fitting for what some governments of many nations are doing, but to what end? If not poverty, corruption, no regard for the rule of law, control of court, laggingness and worse. For this, it pains me with what is happening in those countries. That is what we all have to pay for selecting the wrong leaders for such sensitive positions.

However, the clandestinity relating to cryptocurrency did not just start today and crypto by most nature also naturally gives room to that, it is the government that needs to be up and doing in this regard. But instead for many countries of the world to beat the technology or catch up with it, they will either turn a blind eye, clamp down on it or underregulate if at all they want to regulate. This is wrong and with this approach, there is no way those operating online won't be cheating the government.

Now, cheating aside, there should be some rules that will make everyone accountable (casinos/sportsbooks and customers). But depositing using physical cash, cryptocurrency and other online alternatives without strict regulation like what the central banks do with banks, then they are only wasting their time. The governneet may only see what the casino/sportsbook wants them to see. And it gets worse elsewhere where the governmenet official will take bribe to look away. That is the world we live in.

I know it is difficult to side with the continuous keeping of one's money in the gambling account or waging it after winnings, this could cause some losses and it could be painful. But if I were anyone, I would remain fervent in my betting if it were to be on the sports games, it is on the casino betting that I have that reservation. This is because you will always rely mostly on luck in casino games and no matter how good you think you are, you might only realise that you were deceiving yourself when all the money is gone. This is more reason why I have resolved to have fun with casino betting and have a real business with sports betting.

Talking about sports betting, unless I do not trust the sportsbooks am using, there is nothing pursuing me to warrant withdrawing my money so fast. The money may be in the account for more than 6 months and I will continue utilizing it. The times I like to withdraw from my sports betting account are when I just feel like I want to have the taste of the money I have been gambling with for this long, or I want to deposit into a new gambling account, or I just have a need for money that I wanted to take from an extra purse which is passive rather than the main to avoiding feeling wasteful. This is the beauty of it, and with this approach alone, I do not have any pressure gambling at all. Thanks to extra income.

Regardless of my own approach, if your emotions cannot take it, please withdraw your money immediately after winning.

Although I don't speak for all, as always, in this forum as a community, you will always find the good, bad and ugly bettors, so the answers to expect will reflect the same.

Regardless, whether we are using percentages to measure it or wager randomly, what matters is for us to avoid gambling addiction and be so responsible in our finances. That said, my answer in this context is No and Yes, and I don't intend to change that any time soon. This is because it is not by using any percentage to judge it perfectly but for me to only gamble with a plan. And for me, my plan varies and this mainly depends on whether I am betting on sports or casinos.

Besides, insomuch the amount is affordable by me, I gamble it in a way that will not hurt me if I lose. I could be fixed or random about it but will ensure that I keep to a reasonable budget and management based on the plan I opted for at that time.

Betting against the club I support is the easiest thing for me to do and I will do it again. It's your choice to add sentiments to your gambling, but in real gambling, it is certainly not about sentiment, so you dissociate yourself from the love, bias, or affiliation whatsoever so that they will not cloud your judgment. The truth is that when it is "betting," you are actually committing your money to it, do you want to lose your money for sentiment/love's sake? That is the truth. For this, those who are taking betting seriously will never think twice about betting against their clubs when it is obvious that the opponent will win. This is unless you just want to lose deliberately which I do not see much wisdom him.

As for an employee as well, the same thing applies and I do not think it has anything to do with the work over there. I can be judged by my conscience only if I am being paid but not delivering what I was paying for. But so far I bet by using my money, our contract has nothing to do with betting on you or not, it is now my money. Well, in the end, if this guy sues the club for reinstatement or damages, I don't think the club will win because they do not have the solid ground to sack him under the law. It's his money so he can use it the way he wants and he is not responsible for the poor performance of the club which they refused to change for years.

Truly, you may be hearing people saying they are gambling for fun, but in practice, only a few of them are actually doing it, others are merely lying. This is because they would say they were gambling for fun but their ways of gambling will not support that. This is why I do not believe all that I read unless there is an iota of truth through the construction of their claims.

For me, no one will gamble for fun and will be wagering so hugely, even your example of having $10,000 and gambling with $1,000 is too expensive, the risk is too much my friend and this can still ruin the fun. Just think about it, if someone has the $10,000 and risked the $1,000, if the person loses, don't you think he will try again to recover the money? We are humans. Through this, it may get worse to the point that he could try it 3 good times and lose the money.

This means that he would have gambled $3,000 with this risk. So it is still risky. The best way to gamble for fun is to have the $10,000 and wager between $5 and $10 per bet. By this, you are wagering with the amount that means nothing to you so it will never be able to ruin the fun.

Thank goodness that you mentioned the violation of the terms and conditions. If this is truly the case, then the casino is exonerated here, but in most cases, when scam or cheating is mentioned, the casinos could deliberately do it. And if we are talking about the terms and conditions, you should know that it is only binding when the gambler signs up for such. However, when it is updated, there are extant rules that could bind the updated ones which include the receipt of the same by the gambler upon the update or the continued usage of their service.

But still, it's subject to the acknowledgement by the gambler that he has read the updated version, so it is not as automatic as you guys often thought. Only that many are not taking it up with casinos, which is why they continue to cheat them with some updated Ts&Cs without their knowledge, and anything that is not recognised by the law could technically be a scam.

For this, what you said is highly relative.

I love your encouragement and I've shared it many times and still sharing the same with challenged traders, but the truth is that if we share it from now till eternity, most traders, or should I call them most attempted traders will fail. It is good to motivate but to actually preserve the motivation into actualization is the issue. Trading is very risky and the market is cunning, so it is not something that fits the same approach all the time. This is why I advise people that they should be dynamic just the way the market is dynamic. Thinking you can use the same approach for the same result all the time may not always work.

I've been trading for 20 years (that's if the demo trading years are added), but I tell you, my brother, there are still scary moments in my trading till today. Although, overall, I am positive and I can vouch for a very high winning percentage, nevertheless, it is not on a platter of gold, how many people can withstand that?

I must also commend the psychological part you tried to motivate them upon, because the issue with it is the reason why many traders are losing. Most traders are busy focusing and trying to better their trading strategies but the issues may not lie there. The issue could be psychological, managerial or lack of proper coordination ( plan). If one or some of these are the case, no amount of strategy building will help such a trader. Above all, trading is so challenging, it requires huge preparedness, wisdom and smartness to overcome.

@Charles-Tim...hahaha, this is so funny, many are falling victim to what we see as little as this, and if the casino can't simply say the truth about being centralised or decentralised, how can anyone trust them with their money? I hope people can run for their money to avoid coming back later to cry foul. Seeing the site itself and how it operates shows it is centralised.

@PX-Z, I hope you are not falling so fast for their KYC exception, if you do, they might do you some film tricks. This is why I do tell people, to let the casino in which they will be relaxed with to be a no-KYC casino and not the one that doesn't preach it but states it only in the terms
and conditions. Little time, they will ask you for it if you are doing really well with them or you want to withdraw a sizable amount of money. Even no-KYC casinos may still later ask for it, we've seen instances like that not to talk of the ones like this.

If you carefully study the crypto market as a whole, it moves the same way most times. There are times when the whole market will be bullish and there are times when the whole market will be bearish. What matters is for us to take the opportunity of them just like that, this is at least true for almost all cryptocurrencies. I said that because at some general bullish times, there are some few cryptocurrencies that will be selling or find it difficult to rise, and the same is applicable to the bearish moments, there are some that will be buying amidst that, so we should know our limits and also use our chart analysis to provide the best advice for ourselves in relation to the coins/tokens we are investing in so that they will not disappoint us.

However, in general, no one should blame any gaming token now, they are not all extraordinarily performing, except a few, especially the Notcoin which is for obvious reason. We should wait for the general bull run where almost all coins/tokens would have massive buying potential. By then if any gambling did not rise, such can be termed bad.

Hahaha...I even wonder if there is anyone here who can furnish him with such an answer especially if they have not tried it. I think that this question should have even been asked online where Google or AIs for example can easily search it and give the right answer, so this looks fake indeed. The $1m is no joke and I wonder how many celebrities outside the top world countries earn that in their entire career.

Even if some well-liquid casinos would want to allow that easily, there are laid down rules they will have to obey, the extant law is there and not as if they are in a banana republic where they do whatever they like with no questions asked. There are two main issues to this which I believe the authorities would want to frown at;

1. The possibility that the casino allowing this will ruin a lot of fortunes. I read of a guy recently on this forum who lost $127m to gambling within a year (if I remember the right figure correctly). This is because he had easy access to it offline, otherwise, his money would have been with him till now but with a little casino loss.

2.) Will the casino pay? Ruining their business easily if cases like this are treated fairly by the authorities and court can't be a good story for casinos. This is because if it is allowed cheaply, out of greed, many will accept the risk they can't be able to fulfil its obligations and that can't be good for them.

You should have known that the guy only wrote that for marketing purposes, he wanted the casino to be seen so he is not concerned about your view. The name is a very good one, I must give it that, but this can't be true of their reputation which I just checked online, it is too poor. In many of the reviewing sites I checked, if I should base it on a scale of 1-10, I give them an average of 3(3/10), which is too poor for anyone to commit their money and future gambling plans to.

"Half a word is enough for the wise."

You have nailed it in the bud and there is no controversy about this unless the person is only trying to waste his time by running his mouth. Contructively, Slot games are real casino games, there is no escape route when it comes to the impossibility of your strategy/skills to help you in this regard no matter how you try. You may try that and even succeed in other aspects of gambling but certainly not in the Slot version of it. You pray for luck here and do all your best to get it to work for you by playing reasonably and calculatively, and by being budgetary and also planning in such a way that you wager little to gain more. These approaches are just to reduce the losses one could incur and try to keep one's psychological in check even as one manages one's gambling portfolio rightly. Also, playing it regularly will mean that you may win regularly too.

If I claim I get you correctly, then I am lying, but still, I think I have a glimpse of what you are trying to say. Well, this is not the first time one will try what you are trying to explain, and even on this forum, such has been advertising on this part of the forum a while ago.

In case you want to know, what the guy did was use the faucet/incentive to lure people into it with the promise of the perks so that they can regularly visit the site/casinos with an embedded affiliate link of casinos. At least, this looks like a plan, what is your own plan on it? I believe you can't just be giving it as a charitable act, would you? There must be a plan before you plan to do that.

Lol...Casinos having a presence in the forum is not a requisite for good service, and limit issues like this are scarce. This is true for not seeing such as a regular complaint on the forum but everywhere I also read of casino issues. The main ones are the KYC verification issues, reduced wagering limit and withdrawal denial, many of which are worse than the limit issues here, and the casinos advertising here are not exceptions to these complaints.

All I can advise is that we should look for reputable casinos to avoid all that. The best way to do this is to look for well-liquid casinos like Stake.com with track records. By this, you can't be racking your head to gamble and still racking the same head on the withdrawal limit, which is absurd.

Sorry about this my friend, this is so serious and I do not pray it to happen to anyone as it could be so frustrating if one is dealing with two companies in disputes especially if one is not so accessible or cooperating. I hope you get your money back eventually. I would have furnished you with the contacting means of Bybits through the community and discord channels that had been provided for you, but since you were already satisfied with their response of handing you the needed refund TXID, there may be no need for more again. But still, in case you need it, in addition, the email at support@bybit.com may still help because what they couldn't solve through chat communication was done through email contacts.

By the way, the $40 fee is crazy and I wonder how much you sent that would make it worth it to give them such a huge amount. Is it not their customer issue that is bound to be solved for free? I hope this is not an extortion to stylishly get money from people. This is a lesson for me and it is not the first time I read that transactions were stuck under Kucoin. It was in mass stuck about 2 months ago and even issued compensation then. Maybe they were testing how they will hold people's transactions by then, who knows? I've completed over 1000 crypto transactions and one has never stuck, thankfully, I only performed 3 transactions with them and I think that would be the last.

I know of NEAR but not GLMR and I have sizable amount of investment in NEAR as well since last year. I am happy to say despite the recent hullabaloo in the entire crypto market, NEAR is still doing well and I have multiple of my investment gains still holding up rightly well. This is what I call an investment and not what you will invest today and in the next few weeks or months, it would have threatened all your profits
 that were initially gained or would have forced you easily into losses. So, if you or anyone else wants to invest in an extra crypto project, NEAR is a very good one. This is especially true as it has retraced very well, it may start climbing back hugely over time, not to mention that a very good and well-known name is behind it (Near protocol).

But for GLMR which is unknown to me, I still went for some research and I discovered that the project is not also bad at all. Except that my fear for it is the way it sold off so much in recent weeks/months, this is scary. Regardless, this could be an opportunity for anyone to earn more money because the last time it had its dedicated bullish movements, it was so huge.

Perhaps, instead of the arbitrator that was suggested by some users, why can't the moderators add that to their roles or another established role that can take care of that be convened by the forum admin? This will be in the form of a jury and maybe a somewhat judge will be included to avoid some unjust decisions by the DTs. Be it DT1 or D2, they are human beings and they can be influenced by many things including personal interest, mood, vendetta, wrong decisions etc. But with the jury suggested, when such DT's decision is reported, such a new convened role will be activated to deliver the lasting decision.

I am sure that two heads are better than one, so if one DT makes a mistake or thinks he can misuse the power, the new role will undo it. However, if persistent wrong decisions are being made by the same DT, such would be relieved of his DT power.

As for the DT losing their power for an abuse, well, it depends on what you term the abuse because the sentiment towards the abuse, the particular DT, how the person who was mistreated takes it and many more are factors here. Some users are just voiceless and you will not even know such a thing happened, while a few who saw it may turn a blind eye because they are less concerned or may not want to offend the concerned DT. That's the way I see it.

Oh, that is nice to know. So what some people are calling the OP's attention to for more productivity here has even been tried by them. I never knew them though, and this is possibly due to my regular absence from the service section of the forum. Wait a minute, 9 solid weeks is way long for me to at least get to know them through their signature campaign, perhaps I saw a few of them but never stuck in my head due to lack of popularity. One thing is that if a business wants to campaign here, I suggest that they should use a sizable number of campaigners, if not, it might not be as trafficking as they want it to be, not to mention a high conversion rate. This is where the initial money for marketing is important as I said initially.

As for the OP, there is a need for longer time cooperation with the forum to achieve the desired results if the money is not the issue. The desired result is not always achieved weekly but there are many weeks that the results will be more than expected. But if there is a hasty end to the campaign, it will never be achieved

You are making a good point and I am looking forward to a day when there will be the same condition meted out to everybody where the casino will not have the flexibility to hold the KYC but to advise everyone upon registration to complete it immediately before any deposit. This is what I envision that was supposed to be the global standard, instead of casinos under pretence allows you to make deposits without the KYC but won't allow you to withdraw your money due to the lack of KYC completion.

It gets more annoying when you are not asked for the KYC completion when you are losing and keep on adding money to the platform for years, but immediately you are making regular profits from them, they ask you for it, this is also true even if you are withdrawing only the profit and not the deposit. Is the money not coming from them? The same thing goes for the withdrawal, so I don't see fairness in this.

Some casinos as well will make it miserable for some people to be able to complete their KYC, and to some, they will keep on asking for additional documents for no serious reasons other than finding excuses. All these have to be looked into in the future to avoid unjust issues like this.

This is no different from what I have known about Binance and even more, and for clarity's sake, this is not to support Binance in any way but to say the truth. I don't even have the moral right to support Binance judging by what I have witnessed by myself in their hands. A very good example is the wrong rates during conversion and most importantly many times they've reaped me off through their Marketshop activities in futures trading which I caught them red-handed.

So I can never support a company like that, nevertheless, I will never agree to what anyone can't prove either since the allegation will remain so with me unless proven. Take care!
