The site did load, but for me it was a bit sluggish and slow.... and I cannot really say if it was any different to any other "Crash" type game that I played on any of the other sites where they host these types of games.

People entering the casino scene, cannot just "Copy&Paste" crash themed games and expect loads of people to join it, there are too much competition out there. They must come up with unique new concepts to break into this tough market. 

I do not know if everyone are getting the same thing, but since they added the AWS captcha for Stake.com, it just presents the info screen, without showing the captcha that needs to be solved. Luckily some of my friends was online when they did this and they saw someone in the chat saying that a "refresh" after that screen... will take you to the site.

Now I wonder how many new users does the same thing and do not know about the "refresh" solution and how many of them do not signup to Stake.com because of this. 

Well, Bitcoin will not stop corruption... so do not think that it is the solution to all problems. Also, Bitcoin are not accepted as a global currency ...yet, so do not get too excited too early. Governments and Banks will do their best to protect Fiat currencies, because they will not release control over people's wealth. 

We deserve to have an alternative option to the monopoly that governments have over currencies, but they will not accept that.. so it is our duty to vote for governments that can accept the changes in the civilians/public needs. 

Yes, I think one of the reasons why they stopped with the on-chain betting was the increase in the unnecessary congestion on the Blockchain and the higher fees that it generated as a result of this congestion. (That was with the original Bitcoin ... but I think it will work better with side-chains like the Lightning Network)

I will suggest that you add a category for sites that have only Casino games and one with a added Sports betting side. That way, people do not have to signup for all the casinos, if they want Sports betting Crypto casinos too. 

You can take OP's advice and play it safe with a game with a very low house edge or you can slightly increase your risk and play in-house casino games like Stake.com originals with more or less the same house edge and have more fun. 

Gambling should be entertainment.. not a method to make profit or to play it safe all the time. The 3rd party Slot providers have a higher house edge, but they are a lot more fun than playing BlackJack and Craps for hours on end. 

Just enjoy the experience and get the adrenaline pumping, by playing games with a house edge of between 3% and 4% and higher variance.... because you might just win the big one.  (Example : Hacksaw Gaming) 

You are 100% correct....

When our circumstances change... we have to change something to adapt to those changes or we will just be the mouse running in the wheel. So, if the inflation goes up... you have to cut back on your spending or inflation will catch up to you and you will go into poverty.

Also, see if you can take on a second job or some hobby that can generate a second income... because you will need the extra income to make up for the additional expenses you have. (Food price increase...) 

I am not expecting a lot from this next Halving, based on the price behavior prior to the previous Halvings that we had before. Yes, it has a influence on the price, because it is a talking point in the media in the run up to the event, but most of the time... it only has a small impact on the price. 

People are making a big deal out of the Halving to hype it up, but the big whales are used to this and they are the ones that are having the biggest impact on the Bitcoin price. 

Well, I know one thing....

Elon Musk loves Crypto currencies ....and he will most definitely encourage Crypto content on Twitter if he eventually buy it. We have seen a lot of these large social media platforms ..banning Crypto currency advertising, because it was either too expensive to filter the genuine content from the scams or the masters behind the scenes.. pushed their own agenda.  

Let's hope his stand on Crypto currencies will stay the same ...and that he will allow "freedom" for legitimate Crypto currency projects to flourish on the Twitter platform.

I really hope he does not change this platform to a "subscription" service only.  

I think a lot of the same "Feel good" chemicals in the brain are released when you participate in both gaming and gambling. That is why so many people get addicted to "gaming" too... 

Also, both of these activities are a form of entertainment... so the transition from being a "gamer" ..to being a "gambler" should be an easy shift. (There are a common misconception that only underage kids are playing games.... loads of adults are still huge gamers) 

Exactly, I have been with Freebitco.in since this Lottery was launched and I have never won the lottery... not even once. I have way more than 2000 to 5000 tickets, so if that statement was correct.... I would have won it several times before. 

I have a lot of active referrals that are generating a lot of Satoshi's via the referral system and I use some of my own coins to buy Lotto tickets and to wager on the site... but I never win. 

So if I understand this correctly.... residual "Gas" can only be burnt whilst a new hole is drilled.... right? So my question is this...

1. What happens if no new holes are drilled?
2. How long are the residual "Gas" burnt for energy, until they shut it down?

We all know mining require a very constant and stable energy supply, so how effective will this be ...if they constantly have to switch off for hours or days to relocate to a new drilling site?

China has also bought a LOT of Gold over several years, so you can see what direction they are going in with their plans for the future. ( Globally, China has the highest reserves of gold at $3.42 trillion. ) - Source : https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/which-nations-have-been-buying-gold

People seem to think that China are buying up their Yuan to boost the Chinese exports, but I think Russia and China are entering into a "Currency War" with the West.  China had real concerns about the future of the Dollar and the euro, and that the trade war could descend into a currency war. (Buying Gold as a Store of value, seem to be the end goal for them to buffer them, in the event that the global markets will collapse in the future)

Every company or business will test the different marketing strategies to see what is the most effective. If they launch a signature campaign on the forum and they do not get enough new customers signing up for their service or casino, it will not help them to continue with that method of marketing.

The post covid period are very tough for many of these businesses, so the marketing budget is very limited and they are forced to pick the method that render the best result. 

I avoid the Slot level up challenges, because you pump in way more to reach those multipliers, than what you get back from the challenge in the end. That said... I do try the daily Slot challenges, but even with them... you have to pick the Slots with turbo spins and then you quickly go through the bankroll to hit those multipliers.

The last one I participated in, had a prize of $40 for the first 5 people hitting the multiplier and I spend $55 before I hit one of them and it was too late, because when I checked in the challenges channel.... all of the 5 prizes has been won. 

The thing is.... most of these franchises will have individual branches within their franchise accepting Bitcoin as a test for the support it will get ...and seeing that most people are "hoarders" of bitcoins, it does not get a lot of support.

The whole franchise then take that as a sign that the technology is not mature enough for them to accept it and they stop doing it. So when they do this, people will have to support it.... or they will simply stop accepting it as a payment option. 

We have a group of about 50 players that are sharing info and even some wins when we get it, but none of them were able to claim it. It was "Gone in 60 seconds" ..like the movie.    (The wager requirement was within reach of many of the people that are running Alt accounts that are linked to bots, so it was expected)  

I much rather prefer the Pre or Post ==> Monthly that were given for the Watford wins in the past, because you actually got something for that, when the sponsored team won.  

The majority of the people will want volatility, because they are speculators and hoarders ...seeking profits for their investments. They do not care that retailers and shops that accept Bitcoin as a payment option, wants less volatility.

Some of the early Bitcoiners will tell you that low volatility are good for Bitcoin as a "Currency" ...because shops and customers does not want to deal with extreme volatility when they pay for goods and services. (Just imagine how shops have to display their prices for their goods... if the price goes up and down every second.) 

You know..... I have worked in Africa on contract for my company for many years... and I have observed a lot of the mistakes that they are making to be first world countries.

The "corruption" is a major issue, because the leadership (government) and their family and friends are stealing the future of their citizens. The citizens shift the blame for everything onto the "West" or the colonialists that are pumping Billions into their economy. (Yes, they take resources as payment ...but what should they do.... just do all of that for nothing in return?)

I think they should stop playing the victim and just start focusing on replacing the people who are stealing their future. 

Well, Bitcoin as a technology cannot solve all Palestine's problem, but it can bring Palestine into the global trend that are changing to a more autonomous currency. Bitcoin was supposed to be an alternative currency, but most people see it as a commodity and the governments of the world are happy to define it as a commodity and not as a competing currency. 

Bitcoin has also served as a method to bypass restrictions and sanctions that were placed on countries, because it is border-less and unstoppable by centralized authorities. 

Yes, statistically ...every combination is possible... but highly unlikely and controversial when you see it drop like that.    I hate any kind of Lottery, because there are so many ways to rig the outcome... Example : weighted balls / pre-recorded video footage etc...etc.

I have seen on television where they used a nice looking women to do the draw.... she had a red dress on before the draw and while the draw was happening, she wore a green dress.     Another time..... a rolling banner at the bottom, showed the winning numbers ...before the draw ended. 

I do not know of any provable "fair" draw system, that cannot be manipulated in any way.
