For small amounts then it would be that considerable but for bigger amounts? Its a big NO! I wont really be that confident on storing up a huge amount on gambling account. How much more if i do able to win big?

You would definitely be thinking on getting those funds and wont really be sitting idle on a gambling site for too long. You wont really be making yourself that too confident or really at ease if you do know that you
do have something big on your account which it isnt really actually yours since you dont possess the wallet keys which it would really be just that a normal reaction for those people who are really minding about that true control of your funds and not letting it sit on something centralized or you dont possess the keys. There's no point or having no sense on saving your money or letting those funds be stored on a gambling
site unless if you are really that planning on spending it all on gambling site or into your next gambling session then it should be fine but if not then its not ideal to be there.
If it were me, I wouldn't want to keep my money in a gambling account because it's vulnerable, and I can use it to gamble whenever I want. That is why I said that if it is small money, I think keeping it in our gambling account is okay because it will help us not to deposit a certain amount for gambling. But for large amounts of money, it's better for me to keep it in my personal wallet to monitor it directly. Moreover, we will not know what can happen on the casino site because if it is on the internet, nothing can be 100% safe, so we are responsible for our money.

Spending all the money in your gambling account is also not a good idea to do, especially if you have quite a large amount of money in your gambling account. It will only cause more problems once all the money is gone. It's better for us to gamble moderately and save enough money in a gambling account to keep ourselves out of trouble.

I agree with you, more female gamblers don't want to expose their gambling activities. they play online through an application and only talk about gambling with colleagues who really like gambling.
the problem of the number of female gamblers, it is difficult to classify them. but maybe every casino platform that asks for KYC has sufficiently accurate data regarding their active members.
What we think is true is that this crypto casino allows female gamblers to hide their gambling activities well and don't need to talk about gambling if it's not with fellow female gamblers or men they already know well. Casino platforms that have requested KYC may also not reveal how many female gamblers there are because that is data from their customers, even though it is only the number of female gamblers. There may bere casino platforms willing to reveal how many female gamblers have done KYC on their platform.

Gambling is still prohibited in many parts of the country. In all those places that cannot be imagined. But most countries are backing away from that tough stance. Men now have more opportunities than women. However, since online casinos became popular, women's propensity for gambling has increased. But almost all people want to keep them anonymous so it is not possible to get the exact statistics. The number of female gamblers will not be very high. It can be estimated that the number of women gamblers is around 20 percent.
In many parts of the country, gambling is prohibited, but with the various conveniences that many people can get, they can still visit online casinos and start gambling. This also makes it difficult for us to know the total number of female gamblers who gamble frequently and who rarely gamble. Online casinos help people get entertainment by playing gambling, but many people abuse this convenience by gambling excessively, causing many to become addicted to gambling.

And it is by using online casinos that many people hide their gambling activities from others. It is difficult to know whether someone has a gambling addiction or is just a gambling fan who gambles regularly. If we get a figure for the percentage of female gamblers, it also might not be very accurate because female gamblers may hide their gambling activities.

that's true, even in some lists of trusted casinos we don't necessarily match all of them. everyone has their own judgment and every gambler may have luck in some casinos, not all though with the same game.
That's because each person's tastes will be different, so we have to keep looking and finding the casino that suits us best to gamble comfortably. What is suitable for other people may not suit us, so we must look carefully because of the many casinos on this forum. Perhaps not all of them can be casinos that we are comfortable playing gambling with. But for gambling games, almost all casinos have them, so we have to pay attention to other things that can make us comfortable when playing gambling. It may take time until we can find a casino that suits us, but it's worth doing because it concerns the comfort we will get when gambling.

As a business then it would really be just that standard that they would really be allocating budget for marketing and hiring and getting these streamers or influencers would be part of that step on which it would really be

normal that they would be hiring out someone who do have that huge network or followes to spread out that such exposure. In speaking on the amount balances that a certain streamer or influencer then it could really came from their own wallet or had been funded by the casino on which there's no way on knowing that unless if it was that been said or been announced but its unlikely that streamers would be saying that he/she is funded by the casino itself. Some might really be that skeptical on this sense but there are ones who dont really care at all as long they do able to see and enjoys on what they are witnessing.

Cant really be denied that seeing these streamers do able to hit up some big or huge win does really give out that kind of boost up on the time that you do witness them.
This is one of the most common marketing strategy by these businesses on which they do know that there are really still those people who do make out that impulsive approach and decision to play
after seeing these sessions.
Yes, a casino that cares about its business will try all kinds of things to develop its business so that it can progress and develop again. One way that is becoming a trend is to hire streamers or influencers who will help promote their casino, and casinos will look for influencers who have a large following because that's where casinos can hope to get more new members. Especially if the streamer can present very interesting videos and tempt followers to try the games in the casino so that their followers will immediately join via their referral link, streamers may use funds from their own wallet unless there is an agreement between the casino and the streamer and the casino will create a special account for the streamer to play while filling his balance with a very large amount of money. Followers will not ask where the streamer's funds come from and assume it is personal money from the streamer himself.

His followers will be tempted to try gambling like the streamer does because they see that the streamer can win easily. Perhaps some rich people will immediately register, go through the procedure, and deposit their money to gamble. That would be a jackpot for the streamer because at least he can hope to get a huge commission bonus from his members. And that makes the streamer excited to make interesting videos about various gambling games.

From the point of view of mathematics, if we know that the victory is 100% guaranteed, we must bet all our money plus borrow as much money as possible to earn as much as possible. The problem is that reality is different from mathematical reasoning and loss can happen even with a supposedly 100% chance of winning. Therefore, sober-minded people will limit their risk in any case and will not play with borrowed money.
The reality will often be different than what was said before, where a 100% guaranteed win will be difficult to get. It's still profitable if we can still win, say 40%, but it's not worth doing if we lose it all. For this reason, we have to think rationally that getting a 100% guaranteed win is difficult, so we better keep placing as big bets as we can afford. By doing that, even if we lose, that amount won't make us regret it and be sad because it's the amount we can really afford.

But some people are tempted to hear offers of 100% guaranteed winning because they rarely get offers like that, so they will try to bet all in, plus borrow as much money from other people as possible. They really hope they can get a big win this time because they bet with big money. They don't predict what will happen if the bet is lost, and they lose all their money, including the borrowed money. Oh boy, they would be in very big trouble.
2286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Glitches still affects online casinos? Or it's the casinos that sucks on: August 29, 2023, 11:33:44 PM
Technical glitches can certainly occur at any time while you are browsing the internet or playing gambling. No one can predict when the technical glitches will occur. And if that happens to you, you don't need to be confused. Better to wait until the technical glitches are resolved. And that means you can't play gambling for a while.

No one can be blamed if it is from our server or the casino because the casino will definitely be at a disadvantage if a technical glitch occurs. The casino uses servers from third parties and if the technical problem comes from a third party, the casino can ask them for an explanation.

So you can only wait until everything is resolved and for the time being, you can take a break from all your activities.
2287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can money be saved in gambling sites? on: August 29, 2023, 11:02:48 PM

I absolutely agree with you.

In the crypto world there is one very important rule that should not be forgotten - it is recommended to store cryptocurrencies only on a wallet whose keys are known only to you. Keys to casino addresses are known only to the owner of the casino, so all funds stored there belong to him. If you are constantly gambling in the same casino, there is nothing wrong if you keep there a little money for the game, but large sums are better to keep either on a cold wallet or on the hardware wallet.
Saving a small amount of money we can use in the casino to play gambling the next day or a few days later is okay because that is the amount we have prepared to play gambling again. But saving large amounts of money, especially if it is for future preparation, is not recommended. The risk will be bigger, and we can get into more trouble later because we can accidentally use the money for gambling, and even we can use all the money at once.

Therefore, it is better to immediately send it to a hardware wallet or whatever you think is safe, and no one will know where you keep your coins. Never store your coins in places like exchanges or casinos. We have to think about the risk that could happen later, and we don't want to regret it because of our negligence.

practicing good digital and network hygiene is a must
not clicking on spammy links, not downloading anything you see online, using an adblock and anti-script, using a VM to run suspicious applications.
all of these things can help

they're not 100% sure methods you won't have problems since no system is completely safe, but this can definitely mitigate risk.
That's what you have to do if you want to check a site to see if the site is really safe and if no intruder applications are trying to integrate our devices. But most people don't do it because of limitations in using or trying to own it. After all, everything costs money to start ordering it.

But when it comes to AI being able to predict the outcome with much higher accuracy than we do, that seems interesting because we can learn a lot from the calculations performed by AI. Of course, that will allow us to improve our analytical skills so that we can also analyze well. We can learn from anywhere because the most important thing is how we can have analytical skills that can help us to predict the results.

Fiat payment on line casino is not necessary,  because most people don't use them for gambling, people prefer gambling off Fiat, they use other payment options via Crypto, haven't you heard that since crypto become a thing many numbers of new gamblers are now using crypto to gamble online, this has been ongoing since the last virus outbreak (covid19).

I have used some online casinos and the only payment options I choose are all crypto, Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin, few don't even have any other payment options than crypto, so to me it doesn't matter, if you are planning to run an online casino, crypto payment is more than OK.
Those who already use crypto will recommend using crypto for gambling because we already feel the benefits. Payment using fiat may seem worrying because the bank may track the use of the money in the bank, so the bank will ask us about it.

And yes, just having crypto payment options is more than enough because nowadays, people are getting to know crypto better. But if a casino wants to add another payment gateway, that would be better because they can give their users a choice. After all, their users are not just crypto gamblers, as there are fiat gamblers turning to crypto casinos.

Yeah, we've got almost 8 billion people all around the world on this planet. But not half of them are women, because as far as I know, there are a lot more women than men. But in terms of gambling, men have more numbers compared to women. However, I can't deny that the majority of women in gambling are more sensitive to playing in a casino, unlike men, who are more aggressive than women. And there are very few women who are experts in casino gambling.
The female population may be more than the male population, but we will never know the exact number of women who play gambling. We can only guess by estimating that perhaps a quarter or a half of the total number of women gambled. There are those who gamble in physical casinos, and online, there are those who gamble secretly and openly. The problem is that those who gamble secretly cannot be known for certain because there may still be many women who do not want their gambling activities to be known by other people. Besides that, women also seem to want to keep their secrets well so they can do the activities they like without anyone knowing.

Here I found a list of Top 10 Casino Slot Streamers which includes Corinna Kopf ,Tyler Faraz Niknamm, Flávio Fernandes and many others.

Do you guys follow the casino streamers and are they fun to watch? Or do you think that playing casino slots yourself is more fun?

While these streamers may earn a good amount of money through streaming, they sometimes may become inspirational to the gamblers which may lead the normal gamblers to gamble more or become addicted too in some cases.

Thoughts Huh
I hardly know any streamers there,  maybe the only thing I can say about them is that they are definitely paid by the casinos because they may have been hired to be endorsers of their gambling casino using their influence on their followers every time they livestream gambling. It is also a big deal for casino owners that they are promoted by well-known streamers in the world of social media platforms as well. Also, most of those streamers are probably using demo accounts so that they can encourage people to play at the online casino they are promoting.
It could be that the casino paid them, and we don't know the truth. But their influence in playing gambling at the casino really got people interested and following them, and they also became followers of their channel to find out the latest news. If a casino can hire a well-known streamer who has thousands of followers, it will provide a distinct advantage for the casino because the casino will become more famous and can get more and more members, which means greater casino income.

Perhaps the casino has prepared the account so that the streamer can use it freely, especially if you see that they can have a very large amount of money. Few people can have that kind of money and use it for gambling.
2292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A person who won 600k$ in lottery on: August 29, 2023, 04:16:29 PM
~snip~
I once watched a program about people who won the lottery. So the essence of this program was that the correspondents found people who won the jackpot after 10 years or more. The vast majority of these lucky ones in the past lived in poverty after this time.

They spent money only on liabilities: an expensive car (which by that time had broken down), real estate (when buying which they were deceived or they took a huge % for the services of realtors), a large number of new relatives and friends who were lent money (they didn't return), well, leftovers for a luxurious life and alcohol with expensive food.

All this happened because they didn't have basic knowledge of financial literacy. If they invested in assets and diversified their investments, they could live on % of these passive incomes until the end of their days, and they would also leave these assets to their children.
That's what will happen to people who can't use the winnings from the lottery even though the winnings must be huge and can change their lives in no time. But because they are too wasteful and concerned with lifestyle, they don't manage their finances properly and instead return to conditions like in the past.

It was very sad to see them unable to change their lives for the better even though they already had a lot of money at that time, so they should be able to better prepare for their future. We can learn this lesson so that if we win the lottery, we can use the money well and have a better future. Especially if we already have children because we want to see their lives be better than ours, we can do it with the winning money from the lottery.

since the OP is already here at the forum, he can easily distinguish some of these reputable casinos found in the forum. he can check the trust summary of each rep and see who has existing issues with their players. assess also the case, if it is the fault of the player or the bookie itself. sometimes there are complaints that are not valid.
this is the benefit of forum users as they can easily spot the reputable bookies as they will know if the bookie has unresolved valid cases. of course, you would avoid such site.
He should have been able to start finding a list of valid and trusted casinos from this forum and start trying them one by one to find one that suits him. We also have a list of casinos that are different from others because we are looking for casinos that can provide comfort in playing gambling, and that is why, once we have the list, we have to examine it more thoroughly to find the casino we are looking for.

We can't just follow other people's advice to play gambling at certain casinos because maybe they have found comfort in playing gambling. Meanwhile, those of us who don't have a list like them can only keep looking until we find it. And I'm sure they will find that trusted casino because many trusted casinos can satisfy their customers in this forum.

This question really traps gamblers into acting greedy Grin

I won't take the risk even if there is a 100% chance of winning. But I could use $10-$100 to see the truth. But I don't want to go all in because I don't know if there is a 100% chance of winning.

And I won't take out any loans because betting $100-$1000 alone is too big for me. I usually bet less than $5-$10. There may be people who want to take out loans, and those who are used to borrowing will be able to find loans quickly.
2295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: August 29, 2023, 02:46:52 PM
Losing on slots is common and this is much experienced by the addictive ones. Slots were mostly of the higher house edge game and this is really the easiest money melting game. When we spend on slots we should be careful enough to spend with the low amount possible. Slots will result in atleast 80% losing and it is assured that minimum 10% of the amount wagered gets lost.
Yes, playing slots can be addicting because of the fun we find, especially if we haven't managed to get a big win. Slot games can continue to tempt us to keep playing and provide the opportunity to buy Free Spins where the win rate may be higher than playing normally. This is why, when we want to play slots, we have to calculate how much money we can afford so we don't regret losing. With a small bet, it's enough to have fun playing slots, and whatever the result, we won't regret it because we will take it well. And hopefully, when we play slots, our luck will come and help us to win. That's what all gamblers who like playing slots most hope for, including myself Grin

~snip~
if this trend will continue, european clubs will soon find themselves that their superstars are not on their league anymore. the saudi league is willing to give high fees to these athletes, so if the athlete will be practical on things, they will accept the offer for the time being, just to get that offer of a lifetime. but this will be a very good opportunity for the new young blood to enter on this sports, and show what they got for this sports.
And everything will move to the Saudi Arabian league so that football trends will also move to the Middle East so that European clubs will find it difficult to develop again. The players who get offers to play in the Saudi Arabian leagues will not waste their offers because the offers can exceed what they get so they will play at these clubs.

Saudi Arabia may also build a football field bigger than European countries and create its own tournament. And if it succeeds in attracting visitors from outside Saudi Arabia to watch the tournament, it will be additional income for the country.

As a Father or Family oriented kind of person then you would definitely be thinking about your family on giving out their needs and whatever they do really want on which it is  really just that normal that we do really priority
on whatever our family been asking but its not really that bad on giving yourself your own time in speaking about leisure or entertainment. Some person or men do really think up this kind of situation and some doesnt really care for themselves on their happiness but since each one of us does have that different kind of approach when it comes to entertainment because not all would really be that a fan of gambling then you could really expect
that it would really be just fine for other people on not to be able to play but for those who do want to play then allocating 2%-5% of your income should really be enough or sufficient. Dont make yourself go overboard or crossing on the line because this would really be definitely be creating that kind of possible impulsive approach which might lead into those actions which arent supposed to be done because it would really be possibly be
creating possible disaster into your finances if you arent really that sensible in towards on your further actions. This is why having that control and discipline would really be always the key and shouldn't really be ignored.
It's normal to give them what they want, but we should also know whether it's really what they need because so far, parents have never checked carefully whether what they are asking for is really what they need.

And regarding how much funds you can allocate for gambling and other entertainment, it depends on how you arrange your household financial budget so that it doesn't interfere with one another. Perhaps 2%-5% is enough for the gambling budget. At the same time, other entertainment will have a larger portion of the budget because other entertainment will usually be shared with other family members. Hence, it's only natural that the budget portion is also large.

Only we can budget for gambling because only we know how much we can afford in gambling. And as long as it doesn't exceed the limit, our budget or salary will surely be sufficient. And if we lose at gambling, we will not use the budget for other things because we know that it will interfere with allocating funds.

You're right it all depends on the geographical location and the government rules and regulations for pets or animals. Besides, in some states in the US, there are rules for the motorist to stop for some certain animal to cross the road while in some states there's nothing like that. The same thing goes for cock fighting which there's no law discouraging it in some countries.
That's what I meant. Perhaps in our country it is allowed while in other countries it is not. It also depends on government regulations to protect pets or wild animals or to protect certain animals. And it also happens in countries that still allow cockfighting. But even though the state has banned people from cockfighting, there must still be cockfighting betting in hidden places because people who have often bet on cockfighting still want to do it with their friends. It is difficult to stop people from betting, whatever the gambling game is because it has been around for a long time and as entertainment for those who watch it. There are even street fights, which still exist in several places even though the government has strictly prohibited it.
2299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Importance of Gambling to the society on: August 28, 2023, 04:59:54 PM
Gambling can bring great revenue to the governments but I don't see any benefits to the societies,in fact it can only bring really bad things,like in the country where I live from some years where at a certain time a lot of people became addicted in the sense that they could not stay without gambling and they were spending money they could not afford to lose like money they get for food and other important money.At a certain point the government intervened and ban all of the offline gambling while letting only online ones,a few to play,so I don't see any other benefits except taxes to the government while for society can have more harm than benefit.
Gambling is able to generate revenue for many countries where gambling is legal but not for all countries.  Because in the country where a gambling is conducted gamblers lose when they gamble. then the money goes to that country.  People from all over the world gamble especially in online casinos. So the money of different countries goes to that country. It may play an important role for that country but not for the society. Gambling perversely destroys a society.
This is true and has happened in many countries. Even those who have legalized gambling have to face the fact that the level of addiction in society has started to increase or is already high. It cannot be denied that gambling has given hope to people to gamble to get money, so it keeps people playing gambling even to the point of spending a lot of money. The fact is that gambling has a bad influence on people's lives and makes them lazy to work to earn money instead of using gambling to make money where it will be difficult for them to get it.

The government may be serious about limiting the space for offline gambling. Still, they can only block online casino sites because people already know how to visit the casino if their connection is blocked. And this blocking has not stopped people from continuing to gamble because it has become a habit for them.

The club in the European League or any league with world class players will lose their best players if everyone decides to move to clubs in Saudi Arabia because clubs in Saudi Arabia can afford to pay world class players very expensively beyond what they are paid before. Anyone will be tempted by the fees obtained at clubs in Saudia Arabia. It is not surprising that the European League or other leagues will not be as attractive as before.

If the Europa League doesn't want to lose players, they should be able to pay at least a little more than what players could be paid if clubs in Saudia Arabia made their offers for those players. But that of course, will make European clubs and others will experience a budget deficit. Or European clubs must be able to get other more talented players through a very strict team acceptance selection to get talented players in their country.
