2381  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - Drake, UFC, Everton, Alfa Romeo F1 Team on: October 03, 2023, 04:11:25 PM
is there a Stake.com representative covering this thread that I can contact privately in regards to an ongoing KYC issue with my account?
You have gotten your answer from ryzaadit, there are indeed stake representatives whom you can contact on this forum ranging from their signature campaign managers to the manager of this community, but like you've been told, no body will likely respond to you if your case is just all about having issues with kyc, it's better and even more convenient for you to contact them through their website, they respond pretty quick, so i personally see no reason why you should not prefer reaching out to them there  instead of here.
Yeah when it comes to the issue of KYC you best possible bet is to contact the support on the site and if possible get in touch with the security and verification team to let them know you case and how possible to handle it,  although I don't know the nature of your kyc and what level you have reach and what the problem is but I am sure if you have everything cleared from your side,  I am sure it will only take the team few hours to get your account verified.

I never had any issues with KYC on the stake before and I used VPN to register or access the site at any time,  so I am sure if your activities on the site are fair and clean then you should get a positive response from the team If you contact them directly.
2382  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You Ever Made Such Mistake Before, But Won still? on: October 03, 2023, 04:04:58 PM
Any way thank goodness you won regardless,  I made a similar mistake but that was in sport bet where I double staked the same game and when I noticed there was nothing I could do about it and as for sure the bet did lose and I lost my double money,  so mine experience was a bad one but then also you where lucky to have won,  such mistakes don't happen all the time and at such most of us are now careful at the point of picking and staking bets to avoid such mistakes.

You need to be careful next time while staking or placing your bets to avoid such mistakes because you may not be lucky to win the bet next time.
2383  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: bc.game not honouring deposit bonus on: October 03, 2023, 02:42:16 PM
Thanks for bringing this to everyone’s attention and good luck in getting it resolved. This is a danger when it comes to using smaller online casinos. Especially if they have great incentives to get you to deposit funds. I hope that you can withdraw your funds at some point, but remember that if a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Yeah the ops need to work out modalities to get the deposits out of that site if they refuse to honour their promises because if the bonus is only meant for first-time deposits why then is the feature available in the deposits,  meanwhile the ops have a very simple way to resolve this issue and that is to either make a withdrawal from the site and if he can withdraw without wager that means it truly a technical error from the sites.

But if his deposits are subject to the bonus conditions which is wagering before withdrawal that means the casino is out to play games with the ops and that should be seen as a big red alert to others.
2384  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will the Gambling Sportybet (Company) Refund the Money? on: October 03, 2023, 11:18:39 AM
The answer is obviously no since it seems pretty clear that Sportybet doesn't allow underage and that the boy violated the terms. I don't think even the government could step in and help the kid. The only way I see that they could be forced to refund is by social media pressure like cancel culture. Although I think it's less likely that the casino would give in but you never know what happens when kids or women starts crying on the internet hehe.
For a company that have long standing operational success and reputations,  they won't care about whatsoever social media pressure or campaign that the boy will pull that will get they attention since of obvious that the boy played and lost the bet so I don't see any reason why the casino should refund or even listen to the boy in any ways,  because the boy have violated the casino rules by all means since he know that the age limit on gambling before going ahead to gamble and lost.

So he should be able to handle whatever outcome the result of his action become and leave the casino out of it and I am also sure that from his complain the casino is going to discover his real age and ultimately block or can the account access.
2385  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: understanding the body of content before commenting is very essential on: October 03, 2023, 07:41:49 AM
Edited out
you should allocate 6 hours into reading and let say the remaining 4 hours could go into writing,  that way you already have a mental integration with the various topics that are being discussed here in the forum.

Well this has been argued here sometimes ago where they are saying of one must not read everything to give their own judgement..
Sincerely speaking this is what changes me because if I don't read I wouldn't know how to be creative in terms of creating my own topic and comments. Actually I wouldn't like to capitalized on this mistake rather everyone should learn their lesson from here to avoid some limitation from get accepted in most of the campaign or even sees us non quality posters.
I believe we still have a few newbies or even other rank members who will find the comments and read them some days,  sincerely speaking there is no way you can be on topics without reading other members' contributions and sometimes what makes you a quality poster is your ability to bring something new to the discussions and the only way to bring a new content is to first of all know the old ones so you must read others comment,  it will help you mental alertness while constructing your own comments,  we should know better how and when to apply this when surfing through the forum.

On the issue of campaign acceptance due to low-quality posts,  well I must say that our countrymen are doing well in the forum but few have assumed everything due to the number of merits being criteria for quality posting even though merits are significant factors being considered by managers but on the long run I don't think that will be sustainable and at that point, managers will have to rely more on the quality of posts,  and glad a lot of managers are changing this day with some even rating us every week which have helped us to improve a lot.

But more still need to be done to improve the quality in here and the best possible and easy way is to engage more in reading while also writing because it becomes easy to write when you have something interesting to write about.
2386  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Getting paid on gambling accounts on: October 03, 2023, 06:48:48 AM
-snip-
since you must wager at least 1x in most casinos before being able to withdraw
It depends on the platform requirements, I remember a campaign that paid into the casino account and could be withdrawn without conditions. Ofcourse, spending that money on their own platform is the ultimate hope. But, these kinds of payments are not bad at all as long as you have a plan with them and keep them consistent, essentially it is the user's responsibility regardless of the source of the money.
I know about casinos that allow campaign participants to withdraw without any wager requirement,  even my current campaign does the same I can withdraw all my balance when am paid for the week,  but the situation won't be the same for someone who is in another campaign such as ops own situation where he had to submit his casino wallet address to campaign manager for the weekly payment to be paid into his gambling account,  in this situation,  the casino is seeing the deposits as a normal gambler deposit and it will be subject to 1x wagering requirement before being available for withdrawal.

So the best option for the ops right now is to contact the campaign manager to have his wallet changed,  because continuing like that will make it hard for him to be able to avoid some form of gambling urge.
2387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: October 02, 2023, 03:13:55 PM

Gamblers want to earn from gambling companies and on the other hand gambling companies aim to earn money from gamblers' deposit money. From these two types of expectation, every gambler can understand who wins in gambling. A gambling company owner can earn passive income in gambling but a gambler cannot earn any passive income.

Some gamblers think that if they earn $20 per day, they can get a good reward at the end of the month. But is it possible for someone to win that amount regularly? Of course it is not possible because if he wins even 10 games consecutively there is no certainty of the next game. The 11th bet has a very high chance of losing. That is why it is said that it should not be taken in a way that disrupts a person's normal functioning.
The fact that it the world of the gambler against the casino,  and since gambling is a system that is developed and run by the casino,  it becomes almost impossible for a gambler to win against the house unless on few occasions that luck may smiles on them along the way,  so for that no gambler will ever have a steady winning all the time and that is why gamblers can not take gambling as a steady such of income.

Any gambler who has the mindset of winning over the house all the time will definitely end up in frustration and possible depression if it is not properly handled because this kind of mindset has been the reason for many gambling addictions or unrecoverable losses.

Nigeria at 63

We have all to succeed more than the level we are now but bad leadership have brought us backward, how can a country that export oil don't have its own refinery, the cost of living is practically trying to kill the living, it breaks my heart when our vote wasn't counted because we the good people of nigga wanted to make things right, but it wasn't meant to be.

All in all nigga for life.
I just the see this thread now,  and first make I correct you on the title of the thread the pidgin spelling for Naija that you used is wrong and for a good pidgin speaker,  the word Nigga means another thing and not meaning Nigeria as you intend it to be,  so it will be appreciated if that part is corrected as this is one of those threads that will attract attention for long discussions on this subject matters.

9ja will be great again,  but it will take the efforts of me and you the citizens to make that happen,  congratulations and Happy 63 Independence to us.
2389  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Before you take sides on: October 02, 2023, 02:51:36 PM
For the fact that we can't take one person side while judging such issues whenever their are brought here to avoid making one sided judgment,  that is why we most times request for members who want to make any complaint to add all the necessary evidence to back up they claims,  and any accusations or case without any pieces of evidence are discredited and treated as baseless.

So before we judge a casino,  the case should have been investigated and if possible casino should have made its own statement on the case and it will now be left for the public to decide with the facts available from both sides.
2390  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 02, 2023, 02:47:21 PM


It can be easy to solve financial problems when one day you decide to live according to your income. But if you have already accumulated huge debts (like Barcelona) then this is a different case. Plus, the scandal about bribing referees is gaining momentum and this affects the image of the club; if bribery is proven, the club will simply go bankrupt.
Barcelona has a very precarious position and it is difficult to say how this will end.
As for the Champions League, it is not among the favorites, but rather among the clubs among which anyone can win.
With the way Barcelona ended the last season,  I didn't thought that the club will be messing around in this season and couple with the bad news already coming from the club all day long with scandals and exodus of players movement and couple with huge debt for the club,  if it had been that Barcelis able to continue in the last season trend and holding on the title in this season again,  it could have been easier for the club to sort out all the current challenges but then things are beginning to take a new dimension that both the fans and even the player are confused and helpless in most cases.
2391  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Many new projects are now available for users for testing on: October 02, 2023, 02:41:18 PM
Talking about trust,  that should be far away from your features for analyzing a potential coin,  we are already at a level where most of the new projects are all aimed and targeted at the hypes like the meme coins development and the rest of what have you,  it clear that in holding on to any of them you have to make up your mind to accept whatever risks that are associated with them and also being able to make up for what I call gambler mindset while holding such coins.


Although you did not mention any coin as a list for us to work with,  but then we must be talking about another meme coin altogether.
2392  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin price speculation (BTC/NGN) on: October 02, 2023, 01:51:23 PM
1 United States dollar is now over ₦1000 today. This is because naira keeps depreciating. Bitcoin also continue to appreciate against naira. The price of bitcoin today is over ₦26 million.

Let us see what CBN is planning, if they are going to divide naira by 100 in a way to increase its price against United States dollar and other fiat currencies.

Even as bitcoin is relatively less volatile, its price continue to appreciate against naira. It is worth holding than naira.
Well it looks like they don't have anything planned for the naira because as of today, the naira to dollar conversion rate is #1,005. If I were to make a suggestion tho, I feel the government look to pairing Bitcoin with the local fiat just as El Salvador did but that will be a difficult one to accept by them.

 This brings me to believe that most of them are not really affected by the devaluation else better measures would have been thought up.
The current value of Naira have been long expected over a year ago when the united States dollar first touched #700+ at that point the then government made some currency pump to keep the price at that level to avoid touching the 1,000 or above, until after the election and the handing over,  I am glad the current government was smart enough to have pushed off the who possible blames and set ups by the past administration which is recorded as the most economic reckless administration in the history of Nigeria.

Even though a few number of citizens still blame the current administration for removing subsidies not knowing the real muster behind the ball,  it is good for us to have a feel of the reality instead of leaving as a nation on subsidies on everything and depending on importations.

If we can solve those two mentioned issues which are subsidy and importstions then we will be able to position the economy on a prosperous part again.
2393  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you deal with financial stress? on: October 02, 2023, 01:41:53 PM
It is not really easy and that is because we only read and hear success stories of businessmen that were already successful in the paths that they took. But if you'll ask them how they've been through, they'll answer you honestly that it is not easy.
Yes, giving a business a long time to build up before expecting a return on investment is very important as a sustenance of the business because during that time,  the business will be able to build up enough liquidity that will propel its future suitability and also geared the business towards a successful part along the line.

Although the part of being an easy aspect comes from the ability of the business owner to remain consistent and meet up with the business's daily demands and at some point the economic challenges that affects some business may be external forces such as government regulations that have a direct impact on your area of business,  so in all sense of it requires hard works,  resilience and other attributes to be able to stay ahead in business.

2394  Economy / Speculation / Re: Even Seasoned Analysts Can Get it Wrong on: October 02, 2023, 01:33:03 PM
I guess non of those analyst saw Bitcoin price getting to $28k this morning (that's when I saw it) because it might be that some of them just wait for the move and then they'll make their prediction while some traders who are novice in the market would just fall for their prediction.
We shouldn't give up on the market and we should also pay less attention to those predictions we see on blogs or sites, even the expected bull can turn out to be something different. As it is the best thing is to always follow what we feel and see oin the market rather than predictions from our fellow humans, October would be favorable to investors, next stop is $29k.
I was among the few bitcoin holders who expected this current price condition because when bitcoin could have sustained its 27k+ price all through last week and made multiple attempts to move above that price in the last week.

But at the moment bitcoin has broken that benchmark and has touched the 28k price today as mentioned in this comment as I haven't checked the price for so long,  since I am not a day trader and don't care about the daily price chart.

Let's hope we see a 29k price soon and if that happens,  it will be a breaking point and a determinant factor to where we can speculate the price to be at the next bull run after bitcoin halving.
2395  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Getting paid on gambling accounts on: October 02, 2023, 01:16:27 PM
It’s important for me to tell this story so that others don’t make the same mistake I did. This has been a huge life lesson in managing money and emotional self-discipline .

Wow, so you mean to tell me that you submitted your gambling wallet address to your campaign manager when he requested your payment address? Sorry to say this but that wasn’t a wise decision.

The reason why we always calculate how much we are going to put in our gambling account is to make sure we don’t over spend and trust me if you have up to a million dollars in your gambling account you won’t be aware of when you’ll finish everything and that’s why you see people come to the forum and give stories of how they spent over ten thousand dollars in a week on their gambling account and for you to have been receiving your payment in your account seems like a dumb mistake IMO.

Yes, it was a stupid mistake and I thought I would withdraw it after I received it in my gambling account but it was out of my control due to greed and recovering the initial small payment I received.
Because of that small amount I lost more than this many times.
I’m sharing this because a lot of smart people also act like stupid sometimes.
It’s easy to say but it’s hard to follow through every time.
That is a very bad step to take by submitting you casino wallets to a signature campaign payments because that will become a stool hold on your funds since you must wager at least 1x in most casinos before being able to withdraw and with you current conditions it then means that you have to wager all your weekly payment almost every week and that put you in a higher risk position,  also you may be prompt to be more concern if you discover that you are losing too much money by that decision to use your casino wallets for your weekly basis payment.

Even with my current signature that pays me into a stake account directly,  I still have a percentage set on the amount of balance I leave on the casino at each time and that is all aimed at controlling my gambling activities
2396  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Four Lucrative businesses you can start in Nigeria on: October 02, 2023, 01:04:31 PM
Well I get your points well, anyway as e be say the Nigeria economy dey poor e go good when we plan our self's wela, now way some of us never get money e go good make we start from now dey plan our self so that when the money go come we no ho hesitate to use the money do the things way we plan to do.
Fish farming dey good well well,, as e be say the demands for food dey increase as day they break, make we try go into food business.
You talk well for all your points ohh, but I no agree with the other one way you dey say make people go into POS, because POS business nah very risky business, you know say person way no dey smart no go fit run POS business, because if them do fake alert the person no go know.
Nah the little I get to talk be this.
No be only pos business be the only business where get k leg among the list that ops mentioned,  in fact all of those business except food business are all outdated business,  e.g before you advise anyone to go into fish farming,  you should first of all take out time to research and get current data lf how much the cost of establishment,  treatment training and foods,  because I have experience in one or two of those businesses mentioned in the ops.

But then food business have no expiration and its risk can easily be managed if you have a good preservative method and fast cheap transportations since food business need moving around both in finished goods and raw materials such as the foodstuffs.
2397  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Education. on: October 02, 2023, 12:34:47 PM
Instead of outrightly banning gambling, how about if the concerned countries officially include gambling education in their academic syllabus, just like sex education is taught in schools. Gambling education will teach the young ones the dangers of gambling and promote moderation in gambling. Will this not be a better way to handle the gambling cases?

Countries do have their own big reasons why they ban gambling. We can't just simply say that they can instead add a gambling related subject as part of the education. Remember that culture plays a big role on gambling status of a country and also how worst the gambling-related crime on that country.

Just let these countries that implement a gambling ban to be like that.

It's just simple, if gambling is against a law, then comply with it. Face the consequences if want to face the risks.
One of the major reasons why countries ban gambling os because of the ugly outcome of most gambling addicts and also many of the immoral characters that are displayed in the casino,  casino are seen and viewed as an outlaw games centres and for that in some countries,  casinos are seen as black spot and citizens who go to such places could be arrested and prosecuted for that so most of the visitors already are aware of that and that why you must go into some physical casinos with your IDs for easy identification in case of police raids.
2398  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Navigating the World of Online Gambling on: October 02, 2023, 12:27:18 PM
Yeah we have been through all the checks but sometimes it’s the other side that can be sucker punch. Haha. These days scam casino number is off the roof and there are controllers measured to avoid them. It’s just we and our self awareness that can help get rid off the casino like that. Sometimes casino can look so good, play so well and suddenly everything can lock up and your access might get revoked. That sort of scams happening too. Just like a honey trap to be honest. I’m not sure what you guys are doing but I have made my list and I’m sticking with them all the way along since few years now. If there is new casino then I would definitely try it out but may not continue for very long period of time if anything fishy is felt. Better check more stringently and stay safe gamblers. Smiley
Yes, and those scam casinos don't even show their true self at first, they gain your trust first and expand their user base and improve their reputation, that's the most dangerous kind of scam casino, they make you think that they're trustworthy and then the problems starts piling up because they're slowly scamming individuals that's been their patrons. It's kind of admirable of them to be able to do that just to scam people. It's not just like a honey trap, it is a honey trap.
Yes because those scam casinos want to scam you that is why the always try to put somethings to attract you at first such as bonuses and other offers that will make you feel at home with them there by leaving your large balance on them and ultimately their end up locking you out at last,  this is an already known trick and we as gamblers try as much as possible to discover such tricks and avoid falling victims to them.

I as much as they try to trick us,  we also will try to keep ourselves ahead of them and by so doing we will arrive at a position that can make us more stable to be able to confront those scam casinos because once we can discover them,  we will be able to easily avoid them also.
2399  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which cryptocurrencies should gain broader payment gateway acceptance soon? on: October 02, 2023, 12:17:11 PM

Thank you for your valuable insights on Bitcoin, and Ethereum, and the challenges they face in terms of transaction speed and fees.

It's worth noting that the crypto space is dynamic, and projects are continually evolving to address these issues. While Bitcoin's Lightning Network and Ethereum 2.0 are indeed promising solutions, it's essential to keep an eye on innovative projects that are actively working on improving transaction efficiency.

One such project that's gaining traction is https://coinremitter.com/?utm_source=rep&utm_medium=altcointalks, While it might not be a direct competitor to Bitcoin or Ethereum, it focuses on providing efficient and user-friendly payment solutions for businesses. They aim to bridge the gap between cryptocurrencies and real-world payments, making it easier for users and businesses to transact with digital assets.

In a rapidly evolving crypto landscape, it's essential to explore various options and see how they fit into the broader ecosystem. Coinremitter's approach to improving payment gateway acceptance with cryptocurrencies is certainly worth considering as part of this exploration.
The ability of projects to solve this scalability challenges faced in the cryptocurrency space is the bedrock of most of the projects and the ecosystem we have being talking about as the real liquidity provider for any projects,  so the fact that a project meet this criteria makes the coin to become a viable coin in the market and at that most time should be given such regarded remarks and chance to thrive in the market.

Let say we optin' for anything close to such a project,  as a choice for either solving transactions capabilities challenge or just as liquidity for bills and other payments due to their flexibilities it still balls down to the fact that holding such potential coins will always give you the confidence to keep holding for long term.
2400  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you deal with financial stress? on: October 02, 2023, 09:15:42 AM
Continue to venture yourself with available business that you know you can excel is possible, like what you mentioned
it's difficult to predict if what will happen to the one that you are supporting.
While it sounds easy to find a business you think that you can excel easily. Businesses are going to take time until you finally see them run stably and you can count on it as your major source of income. But it all starts to what you know and you're not just going to do a business just because it's profitable based on others testimony but you got to prove it yourself that you know how to run one.

Chances that bankruptcy can happen and you need to move forward and find another business or investment to cover
losses that you got from the previous will give you another opportunity to work it out.
Yes, and that's the cycle for most of the businessmen that do it wrong. They have no background but as a start, it's actually a good one and later on they will find out what suits them right. If it's either being in a business or being in a job where they love what they're doing. And as you choose, you'll recognize that owning a business and having a fruitful investment takes time for them to see results.
I guess the best way to discover a success part in business is to first of all have a motivation in the business because most times,  we can't predict the future so for such avoidance of bad future economic possibility is important to have a discounted motivational point aside the profits and loses,  most times,  doing business that you have basic knowledge,  experience and path with is most motivational since you will already know the best route to take to avoid any possible loophole and also being able to stand up against any possible future economic challenges.

Having a business is not as easy as it sound,  but then we have to also make up our mind to stand up against any possible challenges that may arise while doing business or a job because life is full of daily unique challenges.
