I still believe that there should be a law which states that lottery rewards must have a minimum expiration timeline of a year or two. Maybe even longer.

For the casino point of view, they would never want the lotteries expiration to be that longer duration. They would ideally want the lottery duration to be of minimum duration and the reason for this is that one the lottery is expired people will be willing to buy another lottery and hence spend the money on lottery.

Contrary to this, if the lottery duration is years long, people will just hold on the lottery hoping they would get the reward and may not buy more lotteries in that time period.
2542  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: July 03, 2023, 11:59:27 PM
Yes, the gambling sites have our age data through the KYC documents. Do they ever restrict anyone who is underage to not to gamble?
Also, if we find any site allowing minors to gamble, can legal action be taken against them?
Casino sites can strict the KYC procedure. But there is always a chance for fake data. It is something difficult to do by the casino sites. Even if they use a live KYC procedure to validate the data, a smart one can always know how to manipulate it. Well, a live KYC may be the best way to eliminate underage. I don't think any other ways to deal with this matter.

This is another issue with the KYC, that is FAKE documents submit to pass the KYC (And I will discuss this separately) but if the casino can't check if the data provided with us is real or fake, then what is the purpose of the KYC. Casinos should have a mechanism to verify the data and an intelligent system that can detect fake ID Cards, driving licenses, and/or passport submissions.

They could make use of live camera technology to scan these documents but the point is that once they make an effort to collect real data, they should also make use of that data correctly, which means that they should filter the minors and deny them the opportunity to gamble.
2543  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: July 03, 2023, 11:49:39 PM
~snip~
I wouldn't rely too much on AI predictions simply because if it were anywhere to churning out accurate predictions right now, then, we'd have had an influx of new millionaires / billionaires and most bookmarkers would simply go out of business. Maybe for skill-based games rather than sports betting considering the fact that getting recent data to train a model would not be an easy task.

I've always viewed it as a tool to stop some repetitive tasks and it can be best used right now as a tool rather than a standalone system.

Also the casinos probably are already using the latest advances in AI to predict their odds. And at the end of the day their odds always give them a nice advantage to the house, so it doesn't matter that you can predict correctly the odds, the house still has the advantage.

Example, a coin flip. Your AI predicts it has 50% chance of hitting tails. Casino pays odds of 40-60 for tails(slight advantage for casino). In the long term, casino will keep all your money because of that difference. See?, it doesn't matter if you have a perfect prediction of the odds.

The casino does have an advantage over the odds because of the house edges but that does not apply to sports betting. People can still use AI to choose the most perfect entry for sports betting.

When we place a bet, we see all the past records of the team and then place the bet on the stronger team hoping they will repeat the same performance again. When we take help from the AI to calculate the past performances, we would get the most accurate data in very less time and thus it will hep us choose the more appropriate team to bet on.

It's just that there are gamblers that don't really do research before registering and doing deposit in a casino. Most of the time, they only do research when a casino is showing sign of being a scam casino like delaying their withdrawals, forfeiting, and constant reasoning of casino why they can't let you withdraw. Their marketing team is just so good that they still able to lure some gamblers into their casino and scam them. Once you deposit in this casino, you can consider yourself a loser even if you won in their games.

1xbit plays cleverly as they do not scam initially. When a person opens an account at 1xbit, they do not scam, they just let himself have a good natural experience of gambling, depositing, and withdrawing. They usually will scam selective people who have large amounts in their bankroll or deny the people of their earnings through big wins etc.

If you are not a bitcointalk reader, it may be not easy to guess that 1xbit is a scam until you experience yourself by depositing and then your account gets closed and your fund gets stolen by these scammers.
2545  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does lottery rewards expire? on: July 03, 2023, 04:37:15 PM
Yes, you read that accurately.

If I buy several lottery tickets and then leave my account dormant for a long time, say at least 6 months, and my ticket wins the jackpot during that time.
Will anything happen to my prize money? Will the casino refund my money because I never claimed any of the rewards?

It's just a thought I've had for a while and decided to ask here in the community.


It really depends upon lottery to lottery and every lottery will have different rules of their tickets expirations. I know there are few physically lottery which will be valid for 3 to 6 months but online lotteries have much lower durations. Its always better to read the term and conditions of the lottery where you want to participate and you will get to know about their expiration.
Also mostly casino will not refund you the money, even if you do not claim any rewards.

Sri Lanka Women vs New Zealand Women

The first two ODI matches between Sri Lanka women team vs New Zealand women team have already been played where Sri Lanka won the first match and New Zealand won the second match. The Sri Lanka Women's team and the New Zealand Women's team are pitted against each other in the third and final ODI series decider today. This match is currently closed due to rain.  
Batting first before the rain, New Zealand had to say a good start as they managed to accumulate 127 runs for two wickets on the scoreboard so far after 31 overs. The run room is a bit less but if the game is played in full overs, New Zealand Women will be able to score a big one against Sri Lanka Women as New Zealand Women have got eight valuable wickets so far. New Zealand Women's team can bat in T20 style for next 20 overs if they want as they still have enough wickets in hand.

Srilanka not only win this match but also won the ODI series.

The match was decided on D/L method and the Srilanka women's team performed better than the two. Believe me that the target for the Srilanka was not an easy one but their captain Chamari Athapaththu single handed won this match for them. She scored 140 runs in only 80 balls and it was just treat to watch this innings.

2547  Economy / Gambling / Re: Is it nomal for BLACKJACK.FUN to investigate for more than 6 months? on: July 03, 2023, 02:14:09 PM
Do you think it's normal for a sportsbook to investigate for more than 6 months?

Well, investigating for more than 6 months does seem like quite a long time. But I have seen such cases before. It probably depends on the type of investigation and who is conducting it. It may be a third party security provider so it is out of the casino's control. It does sound a bit on the longer side, though. A month or two should be the maximum in my opinion.


I was just notified that the relevant team will have an answer on Wednesday.

It is very abnormal behavior if the casino gives a timeline of 6 months to resolve a case. Usually, any case should be resolved within 5 to 10 days no matter how complex is the issue.

However, they told you that you will get an answer on Wednesday, meaning that they are working on your issue and hopefully your issue will be resolved in your favor. However, be ready as they can ask you for more documentation plus they can deny your request if they have any proof of yourself violating the terms and conditions of the casino.
2548  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you guilty of promising not to gamble for specific days but back next day on: July 03, 2023, 01:46:45 PM
I did it many times back when my addiction is very high, I promise not to gamble after I lose a big amount I even swear that I will not, but the following day I'm back even promising to be better and not lose a big amount again.

How many of us are guilty of this?

This is a normal feeling of a gambler that when he loses he become so disappointed that he thinks that he will quit gambling and will not play for a long long time. For the very next day the gambler forget about his loss, the motion gets a bit cool down, the wish for gambling arises in his heart and he starts to gamble once again.

This happens with me, this happened with everyone as our commitment of not to gamble won't last for long and its very hard to stop ourself from gambling. Stay away from gambling is too much difficult for those who are already have the habit of gambling daily.

Sri Lanka Women vs New Zealand Women 3rd ODI match has already started today. New Zealand Women won the toss and went to bat. Scored 55 runs in 16.3 overs. So far New Zealand Women have lost 2 wickets. Bernadine Bezuidenhout scored 4 runs off 15 balls.  Run out. Melie Kerr got out with 19 runs from 36 balls. 2 batsmen of New Zealand Women team batted very badly. For which now New Zealand Women are under a lot of pressure. Sri Lanka Women started to perform very well in bowling.

New Zealand women team is batting againist the Srilankan women team and scored 118 runs in 29 overs with two wickets
down. Sophie Devine playing at 35 and Suzie Bates looking good at 61 and they may make a target which could be matching winning in this 3rd ODI at Galle.

Since both teams have won one match each, this will turn out to be the series decider. New Zealand needs to score runs near 300 in order to confirm thier victory.
2550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: July 02, 2023, 06:00:40 PM
As we all know that the age limit for gambling in casinos varies from country to country and can also depend on certain casino policies. And in most countries the minimum age for gambling in casinos is 18 years, there is also in some countries the age limit may be 21 years or more.
and 18 years and over are considered adults, but it is important to remember that gambling can be addictive and can have negative social and financial consequences, so it is important to gamble responsibly and really think maturely and play maturely to avoid addiction.
At least between 18-21 years of age a person becomes an adult then he has the right to do everything on his own knowledge. and even though he has been allowed to do everything since then, including gambling, drinking, but today's youth doesn't care about age. Kids also now spend time online gambling away from their parents.  Because only one smartphone is enough to play online gambling and a smartphone is a common Daily tools for everyone now. So adults with kids find it difficult to control themselves from gambling
That's what you really have to think about, because it's easy to find online gambling sites and the way to register is very easy, even online gambling sites that use KYC that are underage can still do it by falsifying their identity.
so actually the age limit is just a formality because there are indeed many underage gamblers who are involved in online gambling, and are also supported by the majority of underage children who use smartphones.

If that is the case and gambling casinos do not take into account the age of the gamblers, then can we take legal action against them? They are allowing minors to access gambling which is prohibited in the law.

This is one thing that they should get from KYC data and if they do not consider this (age) a priority then why do these casinos want us to do the KYC. Also, I know that most casinos will ignore the age factor because they want that everyone should deposit and play at the casino so that the casino income increases. (the more people wager, the more they lose, and hence the more profitable will be the casinos)
2551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there real sports bet groups on: July 02, 2023, 05:18:02 PM
If someone claimed they have the right strategy for gambling and winning more times than losing, why can't they use the strategy for themselves and change their lives first?

Why did they go around looking for people to teach? This is why experience after following a friend to a gambling group on telegram, but I am not ready to take the step in any other their predictions..

My question for you my friends is are there sport betting groups that gives betting calls that are legit? Because I believe that if anyone knows a way to change their life around, they won't tell anyone, they will enjoy the moments and pray it last forever.

I was in such a group. There were less than 20 men in this group. Someone searched for matches that can be with mistake in the odds and sent it to the group. We waited these matches and bet using these predictions. After 3-5-10 such bets the bookie decreased the limits of the bet. It took very many time and gave too small income as for me and i stopped. The best result was about $800 per month, but i slept between matches, woke up, bet, and slept one more hour. So i think that it is possible to get some profit but i don`t sure that it can become the main income.

Can you explain this a bit? What do you mean by the mistake in the odds?

Did you pay to be part of this group or it was a free group? $800 profit per month or even less than that is still a good result when you know that betting is a risky game. Why did you leave the group because you thought the 800$ per month income was less  Huh
2552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 02, 2023, 04:00:41 PM
Australia made an incredible comeback.They beat England by 43 runs. In short they snatched the victory from England. After Stokes got out England's batting order collapsed and that's what Australia wanted. I said earlier that as long as Stokes is at the crease, no one can beat England. But Australia's bowlers are very quick. Put England under pressure by taking 3 wickets. Stokes was breathing down Australia's neck while Stokes was at the crease and the win was all England's side. Enjoyed another thrilling match in this Ashes series. Australia lead 2-0 in the five match series which is disappointing for England. Congratulations Australia to the team. Australia team proved themselves why they are the champion team in Tests.
I have already predicted that Australia will beat England and will lose by a high margin. Australia beat England but only by 43 runs. It's a big gap though but I expected more. However, Australia have managed to maintain their standard of play.  This is one of their great virtues. Australia plays well in T20, ODI, Test because their players are very smart and can adapt themselves in all fields. I admire and support them a lot

Australia 2-0 in the Ashes.

Since Australia made 416 runs in the first innings and got a big lead, everyone was expecting Australia to win this test match. However, Ben Stokes did give England hope but his efforts were not enough for England to win and level the series. England now has to seriously think about how to tackle this Australian team, They can't afford another test loss as then it will be all over for this year's Ashes.

Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka
In my point if view this is a big match. Like you said both teams are playing well since beginning so now these two teams will face each other. Sri Lanka is a strong team but Zimbabwe can't be underestimated.


Well Zimbabwe failed to show any good performance in this match and lost badly. They were all out at 165 runs and it was easily chased by the Srilanka team with the lose of only 1 wicket. Pathum Nissanka scored 101 runs and it was enough to bring victory to the Srilankan team. I thought he could be the man of the match too but Maheesh Theekshana was declared the player of the match who took 4 wickets for 25 runs.

Dilshan Madushanka also took 3 wickets and gave only 15 runs. You can expect every Sri Lankan bowler to have a good figure when the opposition was all out cheaply.
2554  Economy / Gambling / Re: Whats happening with Betnomi? on: July 02, 2023, 02:35:19 PM
I'll tag icopress and see if they may be able to provide an update. I don't know how often they talk with betnomi, but maybe they have some information they can share with the community.
I last inquired about Betnomi's affairs about a week ago (asking for the funds they owe me for my sig and regarding the case of one user who contacted me). And I made it clear that if my case is not resolved, then I will have to terminate the contract with them (to which their manager answered me that Sorsis will be online soon and all cases will be resolved). To be honest, I have no idea what's going on with the platform itself, but I'll find out what I can (including checking the poker lobby),

If a casino can't pay for a one week pending signature campaign participants, it means that something is not right with them and most probably their business is not running in a profit. No good casinos and sportsbooks will eat up only a week's signature participants' funds and damage their reputation.

Now Betnomi is not accessible and is down for maintenance. We are yet to see if it is really maintenance or they may be winding up their business. Not safe to play there even if the site come back unless everything come back to normal.
2555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: July 02, 2023, 02:09:19 PM
I really enjoy gambling especially if the gambling game is fun such as color game where there's three box contains 6 colors and you will roll it as a dice which is really fun. This kinds of gambling games are popular in my country where you can see some people are always there as if that's where they get their source of living. I've started young with a small amount first and I find that enjoyable even playing cards with adults with just a small bet. But one time I asked for money to my mother when I was a kid just to gambling with my friends after losing a lot, then in the end I'd still lost and my mother asked me what did I bought with my money and of course I lied and I really felt bad since she said that money was supposed to used for buying foods so yeah. I've never used again other's money when it comes to my entertainment.

It's obvious that we felt sad after losing in gambling. Who wants to lose in gambling? No one. Everyone wants to have a win in gambling and this is not possible of course. This remorse increases significantly if you have risked money which should not have been put into gambling and then you lost that money. Sometimes such acts will make your life miserable and will not be limited to regret only. Think that someone took a loan to gamble and lost the money, the remorse in this case is unimaginable. One may be killing himself after such a loss of that loaned money.

The losses will happen in gambling and if the gamblers make up their mind initially, then for sure they won't get too emotional after the losses and won't take more wrong actions.
2556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 02, 2023, 01:52:13 PM
It was a damn funny, not just run-out but a meltdown after that as well. Plenty of drama so far which is suitable for spectators.

Atm everything is possible because Ben Stokes is there and he seems so changing gears so i won't count England out right now. Cummins should bowl against him more, it's a good match up as both of em are clutch players.

Just as the runs are being scored by the England and Ben Stokes achieved 150 runs, the match is tilting towards the England side.
Now that England has only 75 more runs left to win and they still have 4 wickets in hand, this may be the best for England.

Australian bowlers are running out of runs and if the target reaches below 50 with still Strokes and Stuart Broad on the batting crease, I guess we can put the money on England winning.  Remember the last wicket fell on 193 and now the score is 296. More than 100 runs partnership is hurting Australia badly.

OP if you can please update the images in the main post, it does not seem good that images are disturbed on the main thread of the Women's cricket discussion.


England Women vs Australia Women T20

Australia Women team won the toss and decided to bowl. England opener Sophia Dunkley played well scoring 56 runs. Other top orders didn't contributed much. At the middle order Heather and Amy Jones built good partnership and reached 153/7 in 20 overs.

Australia Women started chasing the target and it was Beth Mooney who scored 61* runs helped them win the match in 19.5 overs reaching 154/6. Other contributors Tahlia McGrath 40 runs and Ashleigh Gardner with 31 runs.

First T20 match between the two teams at Birmingham was a close one. Australia women's team won the match just in the last over making it an exciting finish. I am hopeful to see more close matches between the two teams and waiting for the next match which will be played on Wednesday 5th July at The Oval.
2558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 02, 2023, 01:12:23 PM
Final day of the second test have begun. The winning probability of England have narrowed. Lucky Stokes, fingers raised and he went for the review on the lbw from Starc. More 233 runs required to win the match, and England shouldn't lose wickets. Looks like an easy win match for Australia, however the wickets of Duckett and Stokes will decide the result. Lets wait for the next few hours for the outcome.

Nothing can be said about fate of this match unless Stokes is there on the crease. Australia are favorite at the moment but cant rule out England chances of winning this game until Stokes get out. Bairstow can also bat. The top four wickets fell for just 45 runs and that's the prime reason why England are in trouble at the moment. Still 75 mor overs to go and it will be difficult for England to draw this game, best is to go after the run chase rather then blocking the balls.
Jonny Bairstow run out , Jonny Bairstow was run out after scoring a personal 10 runs. England team depended a lot on this pair (Ben Stokes + Jonny Bairstow) but Jonny Bairstow was run out and England team was in great danger.
Stuart Board has just come on the pitch and if he can provide good partnership with Ben Stokes then England team can get some good positives. With only the first session of the fifth day nearing its end, England will have to go through two more sessions apart from this session. If England can bat in a defensive mood then there is a possibility of a draw or a win. On the other hand, if the Australian team can take two more wickets including the wicket of Ben Stokes in this session, Australia will surely win.

Ben stroke is the only hope for England now. He is battling alone at 128 runs not out but England still needs 107 runs to win this test match. Time is not an issue for England, the only issue is that they are losing wickets quickly.
We have an interesting match from here on in and both teams will try their best to win this clash of the titans. I can see the urgency in the England batsmen to chase it quickly by hitting some big shots and lowering the target and hence the pressure.

Yes that it is, but provably the person near us will come and tell about what they are trying to do and if they reach us asking something on this casino for sure automatically we can warn them to avoid this casino before they encounter a issue with them. For sure they will also tell this to their friends so maybe the warning we told to them will spread out on our locality so this is a big help to avoid more scamming issues in this casino.
I will also do that to my friends if they see this casino advert everywhere and they want to try it. I would warn them not to try it and rather skip it and find another casino. They will agree and accept my suggestions because they can be open when someone gives them suggestions. That will allow them not to experience serious problems later because some friends are often curious because they see very interesting promos. If we continue to spread this warning, they will not be fooled and can stay away from it and will look for other casinos.
The importance of awareness to remind other gamblers, especially novice gamblers that we invite to play at crypto casinos, of course we have to remind anyone we know to stay away from this site because prevention is better than seeing many victims of fraud increase and other cases come from this site, no it doesn't matter where they come from as long as they ask if this site is safe, it's best to stay away from it.

I am sure that by sharing information about this site with online gambler friends, especially gamblers at crypto casinos, it will help reduce cases of fraud coming from 1xbit and the casinos connected to it, I always remind also through my social media account to be really careful with this site .
Controlling other gamblers whether they have just joined this forum or from outside, will help them not to be scammed and they can play gambling comfortably. They can also avoid problems that have often happened to other people so they will look for other casinos they want.

The advertisements or promotions this casino offers are tempting, but we have to be careful because it doesn't seem like what they imagine. So it's better for us to try to find another casino with a better reputation than this one.

Which offer or promotion offered by 1xbit is tempting or attractive one ?  I haven't came across any such offer which I think can compell the new gamblers towards this casino. The old gamblers already know about thier scam.

My point of concern is that they still find the gamblers to play at thier site. That's really strange and sad when we think of the scam they are doing with the gamblers.
2560  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: July 02, 2023, 01:58:30 AM
We cannot consider any betting without money as gambling. There are some situations where money is not exchanged but is treated as a bet. I have some friends who sometimes bet with some others friends where they don't prioritize money. But if they lose the bet they are obliged to give treats. Can i consider such bets as gambling? Definitely not, Because there is no direct relation to money. Moreover, no one has any regrets even if they lose.
I disagree, if you are putting something at risk in an event that could go either way then this is a form of gambling, there are many fans which are so crazy about their teams that when two popular teams face each other their fans make all kind of bets among each other, and the ones that bring the most attention are not the ones that involve money but the ones which involve doing something humiliating or something extreme, like for example shaving all your head.

So while we are used to think about gambling exclusively as a way to risk our money, this is not really true if you think about it.

In the above post he said that if the party or people who lose will have to give the treat to the other party then it will qualify as a bet.

Although they do not have placed initial money on this bet but it is mutually understood between the two that the one who loses will give the treat and of course the treat will not be in the form of money but ofcourse it will be anything which has a value and can be counted in terms of money.
