Yes, that's right, with fake money in demo mode, we have nothing to lose, but for me there is nothing interesting, even I was playing with demo mode and won up to $500,000 from $100,000 capital from demo mode and I'm not happy. Maybe because it can't be withdrawn  Cheesy

I always use maxbet when playing in demo mode. Sometimes after winning in demo mode I make a deposit, but the results are not the same, and often it ends badly. Are you like that too?
That's why I said that playing the demo mode is less challenging because when we win, the win won't feel like anything. We can only see our balance numbers increase, but we can't withdraw the money as if we were playing live mode.

When you play in live mode, we can't expect to get wins like we experienced in demo mode because playing in live mode means we depend on luck. And luck can only sometimes come as often as we would like. And I also often experience loss like you and other gamblers. So you can only continue gambling if you want to continue but be careful with the temptation of gambling because it can cause you to experience many losses.

Keep us posted if you finally get your payment, I do hope you receive them smoothly, that's a lot of money so I expect that casino to maybe ask you for KYC verification, Bitcasino is very popular online and there was a time when they are struggling with their customers, I read about their review online where they are given 2.5/5 rating, later them made some adjustment and climb up to a better level in gambling ranks.

Today Bitcoin is still under $30,000, your winning is very good enough to set your future ablaze, you can get 4 BTC and still have some thousands of dollars left, OP this is a big opportunity sleeping at your doorstep, all you need to do is open the damn door for the opportunity, you will be set for life.

Wake the Hell UP.
He's okay if the casino asks him to do KYC, especially if it's for the benefit of withdrawing his winnings. Bitcasino is one of the trusted casinos, he doesn't have to worry if he will get scammed. Bitcasino has been on this forum for a long time and has had a great reputation for a long time.

So he must remain patient and wait for further news from representatives of Bitcasino. And he should give news when the problem is solved so that we also know the continuation of this case.
2503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Peer pressure as a substantial gambling catalyst. on: August 16, 2023, 10:05:19 AM
I don't think gambling is a peer pressure type of thing personally.  Gambling is very singular in that as an individual you either win or you don't and your friends being in or out have no effect.  I mean I guess to a certain point everything is but overall I don't see this as a huge issue.
Making mistakes can be corrected, but it shouldn't be too late before we correct things. Everything will fall into place in due time. There's a lot to do when we discover that our decisions have an effect on us in some way, which often corresponds with what we expect in turn. I'm the type of person who prefers to be alone and enjoys my own company rather than interact with others. Peer pressure has both a bad and beneficial influence on a gambler's thinking. Although it does not occur immediately, a gambler will begin to notice changes over time.
If a person can realize his mistakes, he can try to correct his mistakes as soon as possible so as not to repeat the mistakes of others. But usually, gamblers repeat the same mistakes because gambling can continue to tempt them to keep gambling where mistake after mistake will occur again. And if we find peer pressure, we shouldn't need to approach them, especially if it's gambling, because they can pressure us even more to follow their wishes even though we don't want to. That is the importance of having self-control and others so that nothing can pressure us in various situations and conditions.

For millionaires for sure they have people working on that since they need professional to manage their finances. But for people who became instant millionaire doesn't have that and this is the reason why some or majority of them got broke since they end up wasting all their money for nonsense thing. If they just acquired such people who's working on that field for sure they will never spend so fast and always aware if they use there money on right thing or not.
That doesn't need to happen if the people who become instant millionaires can allocate the winning money to the right places, such as saving it in a bank or buying investments in gold, land, houses, or other investments. And some have done it with their winnings to prepare well for their children's future. They also use part of the winning money for their daily lives and open new businesses such as restaurants or mini markets to earn even more income. Such people are good at managing their finances; it is only a matter of time before they see their businesses grow and make more money. And that's what people who earn their winnings from the lottery should do.

It's really bad for you if you will be greedy when it comes to gambling. Everything related to money, you must not be so ambitious because you might end up losing rather than winning because of being impulsive and irrational. The moment you become clouded, you'll end up sabotaging your success. You must not cross your limits in gambling because it can potentially bring you harm such as losing all your winning prizes instead of growing it bigger, and even falling into addiction and spiraling into the rock bottom.

You must know how to control your urges in playing and betting. You shouldn't let your emotions take over you to avoid having poor decisions and actions.
You will get nothing good if you are greedy; instead, it can be bad for you. When you are lucky and get a win, you have to know that the win won't come as often as possible, so you must stop immediately. If not, it could take all your winnings, resulting from greed wanting more wins. And, indeed, we shouldn't cross the line in gambling because that can give us loss. Many have experienced bad things from gambling by losing all their money, but only a few have been able to learn from their mistakes. So we must be able to learn from our mistakes so that we don't experience them again.

Yes when we all got into gambling and taking bets and risks, we are all aware of that. This game is a zero sum game. We are taking money of each other. Those who stays in the end playing is the winner and have the highest profits. But I guess it still deals with why are you participating? Is it ou of boredome? To make money? To just chill?

You cannot control the outcome of your bets. But you can control yourself and your expectation especially in gambling so it won't affect your life negatiely.
We are aware of the risk, but we still take the risk because we want to win from gambling. And that's what keeps us playing gambling until now. And that's also what happened to the people who bought the lottery because they didn't have to spend a fortune to buy a lottery ticket. And when they buy those lottery tickets with a certain amount of money, they will be able to have many tickets and hope that one of them can come out as a winner.

And I think people who play the lottery because they want to participate with their friends, want to relax while collecting more lottery tickets, and also want to earn money as an end goal. And even though they haven't won yet, that doesn't stop them from buying lottery tickets.
2507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Signs that indicate you are not addicted to gambling on: August 15, 2023, 04:11:30 PM
I agree that having a gambling app on your mobile doesn't mean that you are addicted to gambling, I have a couple of mobile casino apps on my mobile but I'm not a gambling addict I barely even gamble using those apps, but I have kept them because maybe sometime when I have some extra cash and I feel like playing some slot and have some fun, I might make a deposit in one of those apps and enjoy my time, that is another way to see it.

Someone who is addicted to gambling wouldn't just keep the apps on their mobile but will always be using their mobile and gambling wherever they are which is not the case with everyone. There are also responsible gamblers who might keep such apps on their mobile phones to be used at specific times.
Indeed, it does not mean we are addicted to gambling, but it can trigger us to continue playing, especially if we don't have much activity. And there is a tendency that we will open our phones more often than other people, and there is a possibility that we will look at casino sites and, in the end, play online gambling.

But if you can restrain yourself from visiting an online casino site while opening your phone, you won't be tempted to deposit money or gamble. You can resist the urge to gamble and won't be influenced to open the casino application on your phone. This is why we must learn to control ourselves from gambling so that we don't gamble too much from the phone in our hands all the time.
2508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Playing Slot Games On Demo/Free mode Vs Live/Paid Mode on: August 15, 2023, 03:53:52 PM
Its like we play with less worries since we don't spend anything that's why we can do all we want on demo mode. Unlike if we are playing using the real money then provably we will be in huge stress especially when trying to hit some win and try different methods that we think it will work.

Demo mode is helpful for players but its just many expect that the flow of the game will be the same that's why many became loser because they had bir badly hit by reality that supposed to be created strat didn't work on real time mode.
That's the fun of playing with the demo mode because we don't spend anything, and we can also have a lot of fake money that we can spend in one game. We can also bet big money for one spin and maybe get the maximum multiplier prize. But unfortunately, when we win, we cannot withdraw the winning money because it is not real money.

This demo mode can still pleasure playing gambling games because we play the same slot games in live mode. The difference is that there is no loss risk, and we can play to our heart's content. It won't be much fun for real gamblers because there is no challenge, but people who are worried about losing a lot of money can use this demo mode.

I guess @OP could make a video explaining how kids and adults play the game in his place. Thus we can see whether it is included in gambling, even though the ones playing are children.

But a traditional game, as @OP said, won't use money, especially if children play it because the supervision of every parent in my environment is very strict. They don't allow their kids to gamble as adults do, and none of my kids use the money to play.
2510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Abuse ... on: August 15, 2023, 03:02:41 PM
By gambling abuse we mean when a person becomes addicted to gambling and continues to abuse it. There are individuals who choose gambling as their source of income when they gamble here and abuse it. We know gambling firstly if a person starts betting then he becomes more addicted to it and gradually he gets greedy for casino. Many times it is seen that when a gambler goes to bet big sums he decides to bet all the money instead of taking it as a source of income but not being able to handle the greed with that money. But when he bets with all his money then he loses his money and he is very broke and it is only because of his abuse.
A person with a gambling addiction may not think about gambling abuse because he wants to win. And perhaps he will use all kinds of ways to get the win, including methods considered gambling abuse. And when a person is gambling for the first time, it can be very easy for him to return to the casino because he will remember what he got the first time he gambled, and if he wins, he wants to get it again. And if he loses, maybe he wants to avenge or recover his defeat first. But he should be able to avoid gambling again because it might not give him a win or be able to recover from his losses because gambling could give him another loss.

True that, since many gamblers tend to play to entertain, they put their guard down and play gambling to their heart's content abandoning the fact that gambling should be played moderately.
That is why we must have good self-control so that we are not careless and instead play gambling at will and do not pay attention to the limits. This causes many gamblers to lose large amounts of money, but they still don't realize it. If we can see and think about how much money we have used for gambling, we should stop and rest to reduce stress after playing. It is also useful for us to see what we can do so that our minds can be distracted by doing other things.
2512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Appropriate percentage of income for gambling on: August 15, 2023, 02:27:31 PM

Allocation of budget for gambling is a better way to spend. Even the allocated fund shouldn't be used on the same day. Most of the people will spend due to lack of control. Just the divide and spend is good, when the days amount is lost one should stop gambling for the day. The next day the mind shouldn't be on recovering the previous day's loss, but just the wager need to be done with the days allocation. This will surely be a healthy way of gambling than losing everything in few rolls.
That's why we make a budget for gambling so we don't use the budget for other things in our family. If we have good self-control, of course having a budget for gambling really helps us enjoy gambling, and we also have to follow the limits that we set. We shouldn't spend that budget for one day because we already have a schedule for when we can gamble. Perhaps we can make a limit on the money we use for gambling in one day and can't use the money more. If we lose that day, we must leave immediately and may not take the remaining budget because that is the budget for the next day.

~snip~
That's a good way of spending your budget for gambling. If you can last your funds for the whole week, it just shows you have discipline to not go beyond of what you only set for gambling.

Well, I have the same strategy but the difference is, If I use my set budget to play I can't divide it for the next day to still have funds if I still want to gamble. I tend to use it all in just one sitting. The reason why I only gamble once a week. Anyway, regardless of the percentage we allocate for gambling, as long as that's the amount that we can afford to lose then there's no issue.
I really want to have a budget of funds that I haven't used for a week because that means I don't have to deposit another amount of budget funds for the next week and can immediately use the existing budget. But unfortunately, I can't do it yet because there must be temptations that make me use the budget to gamble.

But I do have limits on gambling, and for now, I'm not betting as much because I really want to reduce my gambling. And indeed, the percentage of the budget we use for gambling will certainly vary from person to person. That's because we also allocate different budget amounts for gambling.

Lottery are indeed a very good source of income for the government to cater those who are in need.
I am not against with this type of gambling as it can really attract a lot of bettors, and at the same time,
they can help the government to raise funds. Maybe a lot of people are hoping to hit the jackpot, hence the number of bettors.
But yes, we can't totally eradicate illegal sites as there are bettors who are still using it for personal reasons such as
avoiding taxes, anonymity, and other reasons they think are avoided using legal gambling sites.
The lottery can invite more people and not just bettors, especially if the lottery is held in public places so that many people will be interested in participating. And when it's collected, the money will become more so that the government can distribute it to places that need it. And people who win will also be very happy because the prize they get is probably the prize they have dreamed of for a long time.

But if it is an illegal site, it is still difficult to eradicate because it is possible that the illegal site is operating outside a country where gambling is prohibited or there is no cooperation whatsoever with other countries. They just operate the site and invite lots of people to gamble on it even though they have a list of countries that prohibit visiting it.

AI or no AI the result will be similar, humans created something that is more smarter than them? How?  Grin I believe AI can only be use to help so paper work in any casinos, it's programmed to get things down faster and more accurately but what will be the benefits of gamblers using AI? You will lose less? You will still lose tons of money if you are not using your head and oy following your mind.

How advanced the gambling space could be it has nothing to do with your winning chance, this is why I care less about web 3 claimed online casinos, I don't see any reason to leave behind web 2 gambling games for web 3, I ain't going to win more if I move to web 3.

As a gambler, do not depend on AI, be a responsible gambler, that's the main goal and accept what comes after this the way it is, do not chase losses and only use the amount you can afford to lose.
That's because your chances of winning depend on your luck. And it will be difficult because we don't know when our luck will come. And if AI is also implemented or used by gamblers, gamblers also cannot predict whether, by using or not using AI, they will be luckier. I don't think so because luck can't always appear when we are gambling. And only people who deserve good luck can get it.

As gamblers, we must be responsible gamblers with or using AI and not chasing losses. And the important thing is that we don't break the rules of the casino, especially if the casino prohibits its users from using AI. It will have an impact on our gambling account.

Well, A VIP member of a casino that behaved the way that guy behaved, i trust will be given just same treatment as the guy was given initially, that is, having security men take him away from the public there, the only thing i believe is that the casino might not press charges against him, and for this particular incident, we were not told whether the casino pressed charges against the dude or not.

And talking about being drugged, due to how everything happened or played out, I don't think the dude have any right to press charges against the casino even though he was drugged in the casino, according to the story, the casino didn't give him a drink, and no body in the casino gave him drink, what the story told us is that, the dude took a leftover drink belonging to some one who already left the casino, and drank, and some minutes after drinking, he started misbehaving, that is clearly not the fault of the casino, why would he want to hold the casino accountable for such when it is not the casino or any present customer in the casino that gave him what he drank?
It seems the casino didn't press any charges against the man who was allegedly drunk, as we don't know of any notification regarding that either. And perhaps he also has VIP status, so the casino doesn't press charges but just takes him away from the casino, soothing him.

I don't think the guy would inquire or sue the casino. From what you have said, it seems that the man was not strong at drinking alcohol because he began to behave badly just a few minutes after drinking. And it's true, it's not the casino's fault because he drank someone's drink. Let's hope the case doesn't impact the guy or the casino.

The football is the short game,the player will get retired before the age of 32 mostly.So the most of the good players get into the bribe to fix the game,they also allow the corruption.Once the player was found guilty and he had a chance of penalty of some years of no matches with some money as fine.The country itself start to hurt the player after he found in the fixing.Mostly the head of board will fire him without announcing to the media.This is to help the player to get away with no red hand and for the safety of committee name.The level of the corruption was in all the level of the team.Even some coach or manager get corrupted by selecting the team for the match and it was worst part of the football match fixing.
And that's what happens in a sport that has people who are corrupt, including in determining who can join the association. They are the ones who decide, and the players allowed to play have to pay a certain amount to become a player in their country's team. This shouldn't be happening because it would take away the opportunity for talented players who don't have the money to get into the team. It is difficult to eradicate people who have abused their power just for the sake of money, which is the people's money. Such people should be severely punished and not allowed to hold any power anymore and may have to be jailed for some time.
2517  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do anyone have done this? with gambling platforms on: August 15, 2023, 12:48:09 PM
~snip~
The main thing is that make sure you gamble using a trusted gambling platform that has been recommended, a trusted gambling platform that has the best reputation rating will guarantee withdrawals even if you have won the jackpot and they don't make withdrawals difficult even if your account has not been KYC verified.

Many complaints from members have complained that withdrawals of high wins are not processed because they choose to gamble at a low reputation casino, the casino accuses wins of being fraudulent and makes every effort to make withdrawals difficult, so you have to choose a trusted casino wisely so you don't experience any problems when submitting a withdrawal.
And we already have a list of trusted casinos from this forum that helps us to avoid shady casinos that can make us lose money. A trusted casino will not prevent its players from withdrawing their winnings, especially if the casino does not suspect any abuse after checking their accounts. And the casino will process the withdrawal.

And if a member complains about withdrawing their winnings, it could be because the casino is still checking their account and the inspection process hasn't been completed. And they have to keep waiting until the process is complete, then the casino will process the withdrawal. But if the casino finds that its member is cheating, it will not process the withdrawal and may even ban the account immediately.

~snip~
True, but only one in a thousand people can get lucky like that in fact, I think it will be very rare for a gambler who can be lucky with a small bet to get a big win or jackpot and not all types of games or bets can provide this opportunity.
KYC requirements may only be set for customers who have big wins and want to withdraw them, but this is casino policy, so however we as gamblers who are also casino customers must be able to accept all of that for the successful withdrawal that we make.
It's impossible for a gambler who gets a big win and is asked for KYC requirements for the withdrawal process but instead refuses it, even though it will take days it seems like all gamblers will accept and patiently wait.
Hopefully, we will become lucky gamblers by betting small bets and succeed in getting big wins one day. Thus we can become very lucky gamblers by getting a lot of money.

And shouldn't those who win a lot of money mind the KYC requirements imposed on them because casinos must ask their members to do KYC. As members of the casino, we must also follow the rules the casino applies. After all, by doing KYC, we can deposit and withdraw a lot of money from casinos. And as long as we don't commit any fraud, the casino will process it immediately.

~snip~
With that, I have been supporting every casino for a long time to be able to implement KYC because if KYC is set it can put more emphasis on underage children entering gambling, but apart from that all parental supervision is also very important because of daily life -everyday a child under the age of 70% is still under the supervision of their parents and it is still the responsibility of the parents to always lead to more positive things.

A friend also has a significant influence, in fact, I often find quite a number of cases where association can change a person's character or attitude.
Every child should be able to sort out which friends can have a positive impact.
Implementing KYC can reduce gambling abuse in underage children or people who want to cheat in the casino. But parents also have to know how to handle these minors, especially when using their devices to connect to the internet. Currently, with their devices, they can access many sites, including casino sites or porn sites, so this requires more supervision from parents so that their children do not abuse the devices given to them by their parents.

The influence of their friends will also clearly impact children because they can get all sorts of things that they may not be at their age. And that's why parents should be able to advise their children not to follow their friends if they want to do things that are not good.

Corruption is always present in every aspect, also inseparable from the world of sports. This is often encountered and cannot be avoided where people who have skills and abilities lose to people who have money. It's also been rooted a long time ago, so it's very hard to get rid of. So it's true as you said to overcome this problem by carrying out a major overhaul from the ground up to clean up corrupt people and close the loopholes for corruption.

It is this reputation that causes everyone to want to be at the highest peak in football so that they justify any means to achieve it, including by committing acts of corruption. So this can hinder people who are talented in soccer but don't have enough money to get into it.
That's why we may often witness someone talented lose the opportunity to show his talent to the people of his country. And this makes those talented people look elsewhere and move to another country where there is more respect for his talent he can do it. And when that happens, the country has lost a valuable asset that the country should be proud of.

Corruption is a long-standing problem in many countries and is difficult to eradicate. Moreover, this corruption occurs from the lowest level to the top. When there are organizations that want to uncover corruption cases, they will stop because there is a strong hand protecting people who commit corruption. This dilemma will probably continue for all time and is difficult to eradicate.

Nakedness is somewhat popular in my local when someone can't handle the heat of being drunk.

There are reasons why patrollers or the casino management aren't too strict imposing penalties to these people. It's because they can potentially lose a client and if that guy is known to be a big time gambler to them, they will just let it pass and call that a day.
Yes, just reminded me a few days ago about a story, I personally didn't witnessed it. But I have a buddy who is somewhat close to a whales in land based casinos. It's not about nakedness or something. But one thing you says about losing a potential client. And so this big whales can command the casino itself if he wanted to ban someone. The story goes that this whales bet a huge amount in a baccarat game and someone goes on and bet against him with just like less than $100 and this guy won. The big whales was so mad that he ask the casino to ban this guy for good. Again, this is just a story that circulated, I was not there, but I know that this high rollers and big whales can do that because the casinos doesn't want to lose their big clients.
If that person was a VIP member of a casino and went crazy like that guy, it was likely the casino would just let it slide. Casinos certainly don't want to lose VIP members who often spend large sums of money gambling and will choose to do nothing. And if it's true that the man was drugged until he was unconscious and did that, it would be embarrassing for the man. And he could have held the casino accountable because someone drugged him. And when a person is drugged, he doesn't know what he's done, and perhaps that's what happened to that guy. But we don't know what the next story will be.
