They charge a whoppy 0.0004 BTC = 12 USD withdrawal fee!

Now, this disappoints me. It's a huge fee considering that not everyone gambles with hundreds or thousands of dollars. It might be better to use other crypto assets for transactions to save on network fees. I haven't tried this site yet, but on most gambling sites I've used, I usually transact using XRP and USDT (TRC20). That way, I won't worry too much about the fees, even if the gambling site adds a bit. But, there's no way I would pay a $12 USD equivalent network fee.

It is outrageous for such a withdrawal fee compared to others. This are the little things thy fail to look into. Now looking at the comparative advantage of the casinos over your casino in terms of withdrawal fee paid for is it not dissappointing to know your fee is on the high side. How do you expect me to see this and get engaged with your casino when there are casinos out there that are much cheaper to withdraw than yours.

I would advise this issue us looked into so as to come to a resolve with immediate effect because nobody would want to deal if they discovered that the fee is on the high side. They would switch over as no one wants to waste their time anymore for casinos not to talk of the experience gamblers have had with casinos when it comes to withdrawal and they see this, they would leave and get to the next available casino.
2222  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Do you feel the change of leaders will make Nigeria better? on: April 28, 2023, 12:04:11 PM
Based on your topic matter, I feel the change is dependent on individual perspective. As we all know that Change is a continuous process and it is dynamic. As all humans are not the same, likewise human thoughts and reasoning are not inline together unless it is a collective efforts towards achieving a common goal for the benefits and interest of all.

As for me, every leadership has a blue print of their past records. So in that case that would be used as a refference to ascertain their level of capacity and capability to delivering the dividends of democracy. From my experience with past Nigeria leaders, every government that comes to power has its own agenda and they work in accordance with it to achieving their goals.

So therefore, it would be nice judging from the past records of every successor to an incumbent government which I can tell for such will partly determine if the new leadership would do better or not.
2223  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why gambling and mixing called bad actors in bitcoin on: April 28, 2023, 03:42:08 AM
From my experience and observations, I noticed both Bitcoin mixing and online gambling using Bitcoin are mostly regarded as bad actors in Bitcoin despite both being the highest Bitcoin adopters and having the largest Bitcoin volume in transactions and services.
Secondly, if Gambling and Bitcoin mixing services are called bad actors, what about centralized exchanges are they also perceived as bad actors in Bitcoin? Naeeo

I would say this that the CEX are crypto regulatory   arm of  government and the government discreetly use it to get at individuals and government officials who goes against her policies. Centralized exchange as the name implies only shows you that they are the government puppets to fight against perceived  oppositions into cryptocurrency. The centralized exchange steal your identity to supply  the government upon any request  and possible placement.

I start developing an interest in Boxing and UFC matches when I visited a relative, he is so into these types of sports and he seems to know a lot about it, by I have to keep myself from asking him what and what I should do to know more about such sports, I have this in mind to be able to make some bets or gamble on such sports, my problem is I don't know how, if anyone is into such sports where should I begin? Any special UFC or Boxing platform where I can read news and updates about such sports?

How do you bet on such games? What are the things to be on the lookout for? Because I believe this is different from football ⚽, I also don't have access to satellite dish like my relative does, this is how he is able to get the best out of these sports.

what information can you give someone like me?

If you know me, I have opened up a lot of boxing threads in the past and bet a lot from this sports. And usually the source of my news is Twitter itself. I just followed boxing personalities, from the fighters, to the managers and even promotions and network channels. Of course you need to watch the it live and see how the fight is going. With that, I think others have suggested it already.

And just used all social medias, Youtube, Facebook and others, you might want to join other sports forum too to familiarized with the fighters/boxers and to see how others fans is, predicting the fights, arguments against each fighter and the most important, their tips as who is going to win that fight.

I did said so initially and it is nice you are saying that too. Absolutely, what you have said is not different from the truth. If OP is seriously interested in it OP should make use of the available channels as you have said, watching of videos and previous fights of boxers to know who  is worth the bet so it does not result to a loss on OP side.

Joining of boxing forums as you have said would give OP more tip on how the boxing system works so OP does not make any mistakes when placing bet or playing game.
2225  Economy / Economics / Re: What class of an investor are you? on: April 27, 2023, 07:50:51 PM
OP, from experience, I have come to realize that there is no investor on earth that does not research on the investment he or she wants to go into. Be it a private or a public investment, investors are someworth curious of their investments and who is in charge of it so as to be sure of their funds or assets.

If I may ask, do you just wake up one morning and decide to sink funds into an investment you have no knowledge about? See, even though the business is lucrative, one must be sure of what they are investing into even the richest billionaires do that.
Why do you think they hold series of meetings before they finally come to terms of signing agreement bond or Memorandum of Understanding.
2226  Economy / Gambling / Re: Sportsbook offering VAR market on: April 27, 2023, 07:32:10 PM
What crypto sportsbooks (excluding betnomi cheaters) are offering VAR markets in football?

OP it baffles me why you called betnomi cheaters even though they have a good reputation here. From what I have read through here seems you had a dispute with the betnomi casino which did not go down well with you all I believe that was the reason you called them cheat. Anyways everyone here is entitled to his or her own opinion and I can not do or say otherwise.

I actually do not get much clues about your questions but I would suggest you look at stake casino and see if you could get the answer to your question or you do a research for it.
2227  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: The Latest Ponzi Scheme in Town, pls Avoid it. on: April 27, 2023, 03:36:45 PM
Sometimes, research is the best answer to most of everything we see or hear both the ones we are being convinced of to try out. We should be able to getting used to research so as to minimize the rate at which we fall victim for these scammers. Most times these scammers take advantage of us because they have find out we have no idea what they are bringing to us so hence they try to get us into their scam projects so as to get away with our funds and our resources.

Thanks for exposing them to us. With this you have done, you have opened our eyes  to see their tricks and gimmicks and they can not be able to scam much as the masses is alert and conscious of their nefarious act.
2228  Economy / Services / Re: Boost your website on: April 27, 2023, 03:07:53 PM
OP in as much you are trying to promote your services, you should be able to know that with your rank as a newbie for this offer would cast doubt, I find it difficult giving in because you have no reputation here not to talk of making payments first before Service is delivered without any escrow. OP I can boldly tell you that it is not everyone here would find it funny though.

If I may ask do you not have portfolio for your past work?
If you do you can bring them here so we could see them.
2229  Economy / Services / Re: (5 Spots open) Join Revolut under my link & get €25 in cash or crypto on: April 27, 2023, 02:19:36 PM
OP I checked your profile and discovered that you are a new bie with just few activities and no reputation here which would be very difficult for you to scale through. From the looks, seems your are running a refferal affiliate marketing for the organization.

I saw this while reading through;
"Complete the sign-up process and pass our onboarding checks. If you don't meet our requirements, you won't be eligible for the reward."
does it mean that you request for kyc indirectly before deeming a registered members for for the bonus rewards attached? Why I said kyc because of the words used by you as "onboarding checks" and it is otherwise a kyc process.

And lastly, I do not mean to discredit your product and Services, but it is obvious this is the kind of format scammers do use  to lure their unsuspecting participants to falling victim of their acts.

Thank you for the reply.
I was not clear enough - was kinda confusing. Just edited the post with more details added.
This is just the Revolut offer from my App.
I give the participant the official revolut referral link (that I copy from the app) and they register as usual on Revolut - I dont ask for any information - everything KYC will be done on Revolut's side.
The basically offer me around 40 euros for a refferal who joins under me. I can only do this 5 times during the promotional period, why the spots are limited.

I posted this if maybe someone wanted to try out Revolut and I could also make some money, like 15 euros. Cheesy

Its not even about the money for me. Wink
I think this post actually is a fair entry for me, as I actually joined in 2014 - just never been active. There is no risk involved whatsoever.

Feel free to ask about Revolut in general as well or whatever I could help with.

OP, I will advise you to take out time to reading the forum policies and guidelines so you could scale through without any challenges. From your post, I can tell you did not do the needful while making this thread and I will always inform you that she forum frowns at affiliate referral bonus and links onboard this platform. This can be likely to you Shilling your product on behalf of your organization here which is not appropriate and you risk getting your account banned or suspended.

It would be  nice your organization creates an announcement thread for their products and you be their representative either way you or they deemed it fit to getting their presence here been recognized.

Congratulations on the arrival of a new born baby into your family. Your family is blessed. There is joy in fatherhood and motherhood more especially when the couple's are youths in their prime age.

Your initiative is a welcome development just as you have said,  it would be more easier for the couple's as they understand their existing protocol and the caliber of friends they have who are into Crypto.  In Nigeria, the youths are more into Crypto because they understand the Dynamics of change and innovation and they also see the direction of the pendulum and where it is heading to.
2231  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Hashbet.com // Decentralized Games Based On Smart Contracts on: April 27, 2023, 01:31:53 PM
Welcome onboard OP, your website graphics are good and well designed. I think you got a good team for that.

I noticed you have not been able to respond to any of the questions asked and you have not been online since you made this post which is not a good sign of a new casino looking for participants. If we are to go by this then it will mean that there would be lapses in your customer care service in time to come because from your actions we could tell how it is going to be. For you to ignore your business here for this time interval without checking then it means you do not value our time making comments, reviews and contributions which is of more value to your organization. Let me remind you here that constant activeness here tells us how serious you are with your business here. If you take the platform serious, the platform would take your business serious but if you ignore then it will be a vice versa thing.

I will advise you to be constantly checking on your thread as I see this thread to be your official announcement thread OP.

Lastly, as mentioned in other replies, there are some managers mentioned that you could contact for your  campaign management. They are of good reputation here and have years of experience working here for successful casino projects. You can contact any of them for your casino promotion as you will have big names already existing here to contend with.
2232  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: April 27, 2023, 01:12:07 PM
As long as there's a risk involved and it is some kind of prediction, win or lose type of games, then I would always consider it as a form of gambling.
Sometimes even if it's not directly money as long as it have a value and it is being risk then yes it is gambling.
Exactly mate and I couldn't agree any less with you but I think the very type of game the op was talking about wasn't having any risk especially with regards to the player and I don't think the player has any form of loss, I mean the player doesn't have anything entirely to lose and I think the superpicks is actually trying to achieve a firm of marketing.
I've always known gambling as a very risky business that has to do with losing of money and if one isn't scared if losing anything then it isn't gambling from my perspective.

Same thought too. I see gambling as a risky exercise though and it requires a commitment which can be in the form of cash or a collateral if anything happens otherwise. If one says he or she gambled then you should ask them what was their commitment to the process but if they did not commit anything for the game then know that it is not a gamble exercise but just a mere game for leisure because they had no commitment to the game and therefore have no fear of loosing anything at that stand.

Sometimes commitment to gambling can not only be money, it might involve other means like car, house, groceries etc to be put inline for the process. I say this because I have witnessed this here in my country on many occasions where a game is about to kick start and you see friends start betting with their wristwatches, cars and some tangible  assets for their preferred team.

With all these experience and knowledge about gambling and betting, I concluded that  gambling exercise involves something tangible to be used otherwise and if there are no commitment, then the exercise can not be termed a gamble.

2234  Economy / Gambling / Re: No bet is a waste on: April 27, 2023, 12:00:35 PM
in any gambling you must to experience loss he must also experience profit so when these things one of them happened it is you will know your stand of the kind of game you are playing with and sometimes when you lose a game it will make you to understand your fault your asses so the next that you play proper time to verify the game before playing the game that is how gambling works
Even you have verify the game is using provably fair, you're still not have 100% guarantee to win. Losing in gambling doesn't make you will able to win easily on the next time, it's only limited for few games like poker. If you gamble on slots game, you're not learn anything from your win or loss. In sports, you're also not learn anything, first you bet your team will win, but the result is lose. But in the next match you bet on your rival team, but the result your team are win.

In every game played, there must be a winner and there must be a loser but it's not all about winning and losing but of sportsmanship, your ability to take responsibility and accept the results as it is when the final whistle is blown by the umpire irrespective of what happened through during the process of gaming. Either way, you must be on one side of the game as to declare your stand.

In all, like I already said in my previous post and from most post I have read here I really do not think betting is a waste of time because for one to know, one must learn and in this case, I would say that irrespective of the nature of the game one place a bet on, wether one wins or loses the bet, there are still things to learn from that bet and the bettors eyes would be opened to some new techniques on how to bet.

In all, no bet is a waste.
2235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stay updated on: April 27, 2023, 11:03:11 AM
What I found Odd here is that why prevent your self from asking your cousin directly since you mentioned that he is at this in long and having good at it?
is there any specific reason why need to ask this forum instead of asking him as he is your relative and if there will be more concern about your needs(as this is about money) is this kind of people?
those who are closer to us more than what we can gain here in this forum?
but to answer your post directly, this is sports betting and the very first thing that you need to learn is the sports itself, be familiarized about the team or players that involved in this , so you will be updated in which the opponent and what is the advantage of each others against one.
try to understand boxing and UFC first mate before putting money and bet because no matter what people here says? it is still your money that at stake here and also choose a best sports site betting for this plans.

I see nothing wrong in OP asking questions about boxing here. By the way, isn't this platform here to aid us gain more knowledge and experience in where we do not have bothering games and betting and bitcoin?  If OP needs guidelines for that those who are ready and willing will do so without hesitating in rendering assistance to OP.

If truly OP avoided his cousin as he has said as reported by you here, there must be a reason for doing that and another, maybe he has gotten knowledge already a d would want to still get prepared for it by coming here to ask or seek foe help as it bothers boxing games. So it is in our position to help OP out if we have the knowledge about OP questions.

Going by OP familiarizing with the boxing sports, I concur to that because that is one of he ways OP could get more information and knowledge about boxing games and how it operates so as to know who to bet for when gaming.
2236  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: I was scammed to invest and left with a watch only wallet on: April 26, 2023, 10:48:45 PM
I'm not sure if there's anything I can do but I invested allot (all I have) in "forex" and it turns out to be a scam. I was left with a 'watch only' wallet. Any advice?

It is so painful one loosing his hard earned resources to scammers and fraud not to talk of when you had hope if investment to earn more income only to find out that what you hand invested in turns out to be a scam as against your initial thoughts. How devastating that could be. I know how you feel OP. So sorry about your experience.

Kindly do well to update your thread with the website so we could know if there is any help that could be of importance here and also other details pertaining to the transaction as to keep members abreast of they should encounter such in the nearest future so they could know some one already posted it and warned about the activities of the scammers. Atleast that could save many people here so as not to fall victim of such scam sites.

It is funny how all of a suden you delved into boxing entertainment and even thinking of betting on it. Anyways it is a good one from you OP but I think it would not be that easy for you to start with to betting  into it when you do not have any idea how it works. I will advise you to go watch old boxing matches or tapes of boxers so you could know their boxing strength and challenges as to know how or have have knowledge of their possible wins and fighting match.

If you do not have access to satellite dish then how about your smart phone? Can you not watch with it? Most of the fights can be streamlined and if possible it could be downloaded why not take a step to downloading the matches of boxers so you could watch them.

2239  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Food dragging at events on: April 26, 2023, 06:48:49 PM
Me, weh deh attend party and no eat na him you deh talk say them go share food pass? I no mind o. Whether person chop for event or not person go still feel hungry after a while. I reject any culture weh go disgrace me. The question weh you ask about why food no deh ever deh enough for event. The reason go be because people deh always gate crash into events without shame and the number of guests go increase pass the food cooked. If na oyibo them, we know say their things na through invitation. If you no get invitation you no go enter.

No be lie sha, but just because you reject a way of life no mean say the place wey you from no be their way of life be dat. Take spraying of money as an example, e no matter how you wan talk say no be ur culture when everybody know say we Nigerian dey do am steady. One of the way to stop this dragging for events as you talk na to dey organized events based on invitation. E get plenty wey I just come from and food been dey everywhere like sand and na because dem do the party based on invitation.

Although me no too support parties wey dem do with invitation, I dey like party wey raw. Make we no lie, e get people wey dey survive based on the parties wey dey go on around their area. I know say to plan party dey hard but e no go kill you to add extra expenses for food so people wey come or crash the party fit chop, country hard. Also another thing na for those wey dey incharge of the food to get church mind and use all the money allocated rightly. Most times wey food no dey do occasion na because of the people incharge dey run street for the kitchen.

For we country, occasion na express invitation to every body o. Weda Dem invite or  not, people go grace the event as long as rice and stew very plenty dey available. Atleast if celebrants no get people strangers go help cover the lapses as long as food dey available for then to eat which I know say Dem must collect extra as na normal thing for Naija wey person people go go occasion go dey drag food.

I don dey for function infact burial to be precise wey I see one man as I dey pass dey chaw for one house wey dey do the burial. Omo that same man chaw there finish collect put for bag go another canopy for that same burial go dey drag say food never reach am  and dey claim say him never see food chop. Na wen the matter don dey turn to serious argument I come inquire to know wetin dey happen the lady come tell me wetin happen  na laugh I begin laugh carry myself Waka leave  them.

This good matter for occasion no be today. Na some people hope be that o. That's why you dey see say sometimes food dey finish for occasion the real people wey come the party never see food eat.
2240  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: April 25, 2023, 11:47:04 PM
~ Right. For me, this is more of a marketing strategy so that those who might predict correctly might be gambling sooner and start to wager an amount to bet. Maybe for now, what the site is offering is not gambling yet, but knowing this is a gambling site, it will eventually tempt you to bet an amount the next time you play in it as the rewards are quite impressive and promising. The end point here is to see you finally gambling in their site so they can start profiting from your funds.
I agree, the site from the OP isn't a gambling site itself, but it refers you to a real gambling site(anyone can see it after going by the link). So, I wouldn't recommend using the predictor to underage youth and to people with potential gambling problems. Other than that, if it will be referring you only to honest platforms, it looks totally fine to me.
Yeah eventually you'll going to play when you feel that you are good in predicting games, not recommendable to those who can't control their emotions and have a possibility of being addicted, at first they are just trying to win the pot money a free prediction challenge that will allow them to win decent amount.
The next thing you will realize is that you are already playing using your own money and trying to win from the house that the site is promoting.
I have played in casinos where they have a lot of games and slots all the time, some say that if you enter the casino and play with free throws and they win they can withdraw, but the catch is that when you win, all you have to do is deposit money, this is the only gaming method that I have found where money is not included to bet, but it is a scam site, I do not recommend it, so anyone who can avoid sites that don't pay attention to them and do not play, play in recognized casinos.

After saying this, many would still fall for it as a result of their greed. When it comes to free throws, you would get them many and that is how the get scammed thinking they are wise but not knowing that they are hanging themselves as a result of their greed. With this method as you have said that is how casinos get the greedy gamblers who wants to run away with big wins gotten from free spins given to them as a result of their ongoing bonus. After allowing them to win big, upon withdrawal, they withhold their wins and ask the greedy players to make deposit before they could withdraw and then out of their greed they make deposit and the scam casino run away  with their funds.
