I think we all were there for at least some period of time. For me it was only two weeks, a year and a half ago, but I know what you are talking about. It's when the only thing that interests you is playing slots. Actually, I didn't lose much money during those days, but I definitely lost a lot of my precious time.


I wouldn't go so far to say that no one should play slots. Slots should be forbidden for minors, that's for sure. But for adults it's a good thing in many ways. I myself still play slots, but not more than 30-40 minutes per day, and not every day, of course.

In a good movie of this year, Triangle of Sadness, it was said, “growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.” I think Musk is not like that. He has enough of money, his estimated net worth is around $181 billion. He's smart enough to understand that adding another $100 billion to that will not make him happier. What he is doing in the recent years, not  only with twitter, is he is trying to make this world a better place. And he is succeeding in that course, in my opinion.

Even if it were 10x wagering requirement I wouldn't call it "cheating" because Bitcasino was giving it for free. Basically, if you'd lose all that money, 5 mBTC, you'd still have fun playing, right? But is it possible to lose 5 mBTC through wagering it 10 times? It's really interesting to me, and I think I will conduct an experiment(playing in FUN mode on Bitcasino.io platform) to see what would left of 5 mBTC after wagering it 10 times. It will prove nothing, I know. Like one slot expert, whom I respect very much, once said, "Evidence" based on 1,000 spins is a story evidence, not statistical evidence. Ok, let it be just a story evidence, but it is still interesting, innit?

You are welcome, mate. Just don't expect hitting it from the first try. But I wouldn't mind if you actually did hit it from the very first try and shared about it here. I've never hit 100x from the first try, but once I hit two 100x in a row. How about that? Normally I stop right after hitting something big(I play manually), but that time I did another roll by inertia, and it was 100x again!

As I see from the latest news, streaming purely luck-based games was banned on twitch, and now Twitch’s viewership is at its lowest point since September 2020, and, among other things, gambling ban has contributed to that, I'm sure.



Yes, look at this news:


Following Twitch's decision to ban some forms of gambling content on the streaming platform, Tyler “Trainwreck” Niknam — one of the biggest streamers on the website for several years — announced his plans to move over to a new streaming site known as Kick.com.

Trainwreck's channel still has a month old video with slots spinning



but it is called "LAST GAMBLING STREAM ON TWITCH". The video's got over 2 million views, and it looks like it was indeed the last gambling related stream by him. But I personally think Trainwreck won't actually leave twitch. We'll see.

28, yes

Hey, guys! Look what happened to me on Duelbits several hours ago.

I scored 13 points in the Round 14 of the Duelbits' World Cup Predictor



taking the 3rd position



and getting a pretty nice reward, $42.86, with that:



Thank you, Duelbits, for this amazing promo!

Please, guys, share about your wins in the Duelbits' World Cup Predictor.

And to those who are still not in, join up, guys, there's still several rounds left. Good Luck!

Are you even serious? Imagine he agreed. How many games do you want to see to be convinced that he's a great poker player, and it's worth it to learn from him?

If you really considering buying his courses, please read through this whole thread first, apply the knowledge gained from that to your playing poker online, and see the results. It's pretty likely that you won't need no courses after reading and practicing what some posters here suggest.

It's just your personal experience, and from my personal experience, it's even much less than 500x, but it doesn't mean the amount user can win is capped. You need slots to be coded like that, and we have no evidence of such cases in slots by any provider. Or maybe there are such cases, but I just don't know about them? Please give me a link so that I could learn more.

I'm sure they are using cryptography in their games, because hash function is cryptography, right? But regarding blockchain technology, how, in your opinion, it can be used in slot games, for instance? You mean using blockchain technology instead of RNG, right? In the case of slots it's thousands various outcomes per second worldwide. How can blockchain technology be of a help here?

Luck is a factor in everything, but compared to purely luck-based games, cock fighting is definitely not one of them. It can be compared to MMA fighting, you are right, but the big difference is that MMA fighters voluntarily take part in the event, while roosters are basically forced to participate.

We'll see, mate. I bet on Portugal before seeing your post, but normally betting with high odds on something that's unlikely to happen is what I like to do, because it's more fun imo, and so I sincerely wish you to win this one.

And today I saw another interesting thing for me in Sportsbet.io Specials. We can already make our bets on Oscars!





I bet on Michelle Yeoh because I'm a big fan of “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, and I bet on the same movie to win in the Best Picture category



But what I found out was that I didn't see the most part of the films that can be potentially nominated for the Best Picture. I will start correcting that mistake as soon as I can.

Well, I can see you point. If for someone it is more entertaining to treat gambling like business, let it be so. Indeed, free people can choose to entertain themselves however they want, unless other people don't suffer from it. Only if we start treating gambling like business, especially when playing purely luck-based games, we may possibly lose so much money that our close ones can be affected. And that's what I'm warning against.

If you mean online gambling platforms, I agree with you. I think cockfighting is a kind of a thing that people who enjoy seeing it, want to see it with their own eyes, not through a video camera. I wouldn't go so far to call them "perverts", but that's what comes to mind, to be honest. But that's me. I'm not a holder of the universal truth, and, after some working on myself, I'm far from thinking that I know better than anyone, what's right and what's wrong.

Exactly. Where's the news about crypto casinos closing down around the world? I can't find even a single news like that, but what is more important is that even if one or two casinos were going out of business it would be very far from "The Domino Effect" suggested in the OP.  

Overall I think that crypto currencies are already recovering from the latest shock, and crypto gambling, it was never affected by this FUD caused by the FTX crash.

This is really interesting. Is it possible? Do you think it's possible to disable some rigging system for the time of the inspection, and then turn it on again? I mean, of course, it's possible, but I personally think that in reality inspectors are perfectly aware of such possibility, and there are measures in place for preventing it from happening.

But it's the in-house games that are really provably fair, from my experience. So, I don't think we should worry about those games.


Well, it depends on what you call "rich". It is true that free spins are mostly 20 cents, but considering the possible multipliers, 10,000x, 50,000x and even higher, it still can be a decent win.

But normally, when you get free spins, you have to play them on one particular slot, and the max win on that slot can be much less than 10,000x, so you are right overall.

This is a horrible approach to gambling, and I would advise strongly against it. Although it is true that the higher your bets, the more you can win, we shouldn't forget that we are always a bit more likely to lose. That is why we should never risk more than we can afford to lose, no matter how big our imaginary potential rewards can be.

As for the "showing proof of money", I think only governmental regulators can say if that "proof" is really a proof. Regular folks like us can be easily fooled.

That's why it will never happen. The last thing Chinese government wants right now is a global war. China is not North Korea where brainwashed population really hates West. Chinese people don't hate West. Many millions of them are earning good money cooperating with Western companies, millions visit the USA each year and millions visit Europe. They would rather overthrough their government than engage in a war with the civilized world.
