Which conditions on Pokerstars are getting worse? Personally I don't haven't notice this. But maybe thats because I am not playing constantly there so don't have a lot of benefit in the leveling reward system.

Several times there was an increase in rake in a variety of disciplines, such as MTT, CIS, hands-up tables Zum and so on. The player has repeatedly tried to "boycott" innovations, but as a rule it is even.
But once they succeeded, in December 2015 the poker stars refused to raise the rake, but they raised it after a few months.
As far as I know, there were certain changes in the necessary conditions to obtain the highest status, which guaranteed a high rake.
How it is now, I can’t say for sure.

Hello. Just wanted to try online Poker playing. Who is currently the market leader (most active players, good tournaments) in POKER industry? Is provably fair mechanism common on poker sites?

Hi. Are you interested in poker rooms with a game for cryptocurrency or fiat? If you are interested in fiat, then according to the site pokerscout I can say that the leading ones at the moment are:

Classics of the genre. The largest and most famous poker room in the world. A large number of players at any level, nice bonuses, big tournaments.
As far as I know for regular players, the conditions are constantly getting worse, not the best rakeback, although it is present.

A network consisting of several poker rooms.
Great online, many different games. Rakeback, bonuses and ongoing promotions. Launched in 2017, the network has already become large by international standards.
It is noteworthy that along with a weak field here they offer a good rake back, if you are going to play regularly.

(the site uses an insecure http protocol)
Asian network also consisting of several rooms that has overtaken such large rooms as 888poker, Winamax, PartyPoker и iPoker.
However, pro-players say that there are many bots and team players, albeit a very weak field.

The most memorable experience when buying Bitcoin early in 2017 at a price of $ 1000. And managed to get a big profit when
the price of Bitcoin reached all time high. It was the most beautiful experience when trading crypto, but in 2018 I bought Bitcoin
in large quantities with borrowed money from the bank. I think by the end of 2018 the price of Bitcoin could go up to $ 50,000,
actually not what I expected. I suffered the biggest loss at that time, and I had to sell my car to cover my debt to the bank. Now
in 2020 I am trying to get up again.

A perfect example of how FOMO spoils people's lives. Your example is most indicative, since you already had a positive experience, you were able to make good money on bitcoin.
And they decided that you can do more, and here you are caught. You, like many other people, forgot about the risks and went to the bank taking a loan. We all know what happened next.
In my opinion, you still got off easily if you had a car that could cover your adventure for you. Many people sold everything they had to buy bitcoin and remained in a huge debt hole.

I do not mean gamblers who are just lucky, even if they are lucky for a long time. I mean professional players who have developed certain strategies and know how to beat the casino.
Of course, such cases are one, but history shows us that they had a place to be in the past, which means they are now.
There are no professional players who can beat the casino in long term and anyone who claims himself as a professional who can beat the house edge is either lying or just one of those gamblers who roll dice all day to find a working strategy which would never exist because any strategy will become with a house edge acting against it.

The gamblers can never beat house unless you are talking about sports bettors because that is the only option where gamblers can use analysis and various aspects like recent form, home team advantage, etc to beat the house.

In general, I agree with you. It is very difficult to choose an algorithm that will beat the casino. And even when this happens no one will tell you about it. Therefore, 99% of people who say that they beat the casino are likely to lie.
However, there are types of games where you play not against the casino but against people, such as poker. But in this case, you can hardly say that you beat the casino.
Nevertheless, history knows the case when, using various mathematical strategies, people managed to beat the casino. For example, Richard Jarek was able to do this at roulette.

That must have hurt lots of investors. The issue of not being registered is also a problem since they are already getting huge amount of profits then they should have just think about getting their Online Casino registered in some way. Its quite true that it will be hard to register because some may not understand how they are doing that online Casino through Cryptocurrency but you should still register it in some way so your money wont be questioned in some way they find it sketchy.

I doubt that they were interested in the registration problem. There are dark spots in this case. When an illegal casino has such a large turnover while it is located on the territory of a country whose laws prohibit their activities, this is often associated with other cash flows. After all, a casino with such large volumes was probably well known.
Perhaps an element of money laundering is involved here, this happens quite often.
267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Physical Casinos Decoded : on: July 16, 2020, 07:36:58 PM
Pretty controversial moment. When you go to a physical casino you have a certain amount of money on hand, after losing that you will either have to go for a new amount or stop the game.

When you play in an online casino, all your money is with you, and in theory you can gamble until you spend it all. Being at home is too great a temptation to recoup, and making a deposit will take all a couple of minutes.

Not really,,, some offline casinos give a line of credit to their regular customers, either formally through electronic card which I have seen,,, or informally where the guy busts and asks if he can "borrow" a bit. Double owed or nothing. That is worse than crypto casinos which give you zero credit.

Not every casino will give you such a loan. Where are the guarantees that you will return them? Obviously, such services will be provided only to VIP customers who have been using casino services for a very long time.
The casino will make a loan only if it is sure that the client still has money, somewhere else. But this kind of customer rarely runs out of money.
People are often in a desperate state in a casino, which means borrowing money to such people is an extremely high risk, which would involve a very small number of casinos.
An “unofficial” loan from a security guard or casino employee is likely, but the question is how much is safe.

272  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin soon will become a boring investment? on: July 10, 2020, 10:53:12 AM
Bitcoin is too volatile to be a boring investment.
Who exactly do you mean when they say that they have invested half of the portfolio in bitcoin? 2018 cryptocurrency holders?
It is important to understand that those who have not left the market after the fall of 2018 make up only a small part of the people who could invest in bitcoin.
Imagine how many people are disappointed in bitcoin and missed the chance to buy it for $ 3000, and now it costs 3 times more and no one knows what will happen next.
273  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is the difference between a bitcoin address and a bitcoin wallet? on: July 10, 2020, 10:41:36 AM
Wallet and address are two different things.

Bitcoin address is an identifier designed to receive payment.

     There are 3 types of addresses:
  • P2PHs,starts with 1: 1QHX6Zttz3JEq2BEBuP95B1fF43ccljp5dm
  • P2SH, starts with 3: 3P95B1fF45mDMzBs7LkVa8BZWCfgBDpved
  • Bech32,  with   bc1: bc1qcgz7de8d26gjceuef0myz6krKtCeg8j


    Bitcoin wallet is a software that manages many Bitcoin addresses and private keys.
    That is, on one bitcoin wallet there are many bitcoin addresses. When using any bitcoin address of the wallet, you can get bitcoin to your bitcoin wallet.

    Example: This is how the list of Bitcoin wallet addresses looks  in the Electrum wallet.

    Worst of all, when a casino without warning introduces an identification procedure and thereby forces users to disclose their data only in order to withdraw funds.
    This is a tricky move that platforms that have financial difficulties often use.

    That's called cheating I guess, unless it's written in the TOS, we can't complain on that.

    All structures of this kind leave loopholes in agreements, as a rule, this is a disclaimer in case of unforeseen circumstances and force majeure. In addition, even if this is a hoax, there will be no one to complain, because the casino area is unregulated. This is about the same as with crypto exchanges, only worse. In the case of exchanges, you can often find their owners and put them in jail or try to return funds.
    275  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What was your experience trading cryptocurrency? on: July 09, 2020, 06:09:37 PM
    I tried both forex and cryptocurrency trading. I can definitely say that the cryptocurrency market is more complicated than the classic ones, it is too unpredictable and too volatile.
    But that’s why he is so attractive. Trading on the cryptocurrency market is for those who like to take risks, but few people realize what really risks are associated with crypto trading.
    I would have described it like this Forex - it's complicated, cryptocurrency is impossible.
    At one time I had a mentor who made a lot of money on brick trading, but at some point the market became so unpredictable that he lost a lot.
    276  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My suggestion on Bitcoin adoption on: July 09, 2020, 05:47:28 PM
    I love the fact that the whole world isn't aware of Bitcoin yet. I see Bitcoin as a digital Gold. It is supposed to be scarce to retain its credibility. If Gold was made accessible to everyone, The value would never be as high it has always been. In the case of Bitcoin, before the century goes off a quantum of the world population will be accessing the internet and I'm not sure a lot of people will still be interested in knowing what it is.

    They will not, because in a sense, we live in the technological Middle Ages. Cryptocurrency has existed for more than 10 years, and people are only now beginning to taste it.
    But the worst part is that most are not interested in the opportunities that Bitcoin offers, it is interested in the opportunity to earn. Until this old system is obsolete, people will look at bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a monetary vein in which they do not understand anything and do not know what to do with it.
    277  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: centralize money vs. decetralized money (bitcoin) on: July 09, 2020, 05:32:27 PM
    Many financial analysts are simply obliged to push you to invest money in the bank, otherwise they will lose their jobs and will be left without customers.

    You say that cryptocurrency is virtual money, but how much real money are real money for you? Which in most cases are not backed up by anything, and are able to print without stopping, which reduces their value.
    278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can we still enjoy the anonymity in gambling in the long run? on: July 08, 2020, 10:48:28 AM
    We cannot blame some platforms in requiring KYC because most regulated casinos have to comply with the law or get punished for breaking it. There are some countries where gambling is strictly prohibited, and not to mention age restrictions which is one of the reasons why most are using online casinos.

    Nobody blames them, people just stop playing them. I am convinced that every casino should warn about the introduction of KYC in advance.

    Worst of all, when a casino without warning introduces an identification procedure and thereby forces users to disclose their data only in order to withdraw funds.
    This is a tricky move that platforms that have financial difficulties often use.
    279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Physical Casinos Decoded : on: July 08, 2020, 10:45:03 AM
    Besides, If one goes to casino pretty sure one can loss money a lot but with online games one can spend little by little depending on how you want to play since you have the control over your bet and most of gambling platform had no minimum bet even cents could dovin betting.

    Pretty controversial moment. When you go to a physical casino you have a certain amount of money on hand, after losing that you will either have to go for a new amount or stop the game.

    When you play in an online casino, all your money is with you, and in theory you can gamble until you spend it all. Being at home is too great a temptation to recoup, and making a deposit will take all a couple of minutes.
    280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker games that are providing free plays to earn real money on: July 08, 2020, 10:42:16 AM
    pokerstars and everestpoker also have tournaments forfree where you can play and earn money and start scalating tournaments little by little, I have a friend who earns a couple thousand dollars each money and lives only out of poker

    though it's quite stressfull life, he smokes a lot and plays 9 tables at once.
    Lol, you really think we are going to believe you? There is no way he is earning thousands of dollars from playing free tournaments. Others are saying they give like 1k sat to 20k sat maximum, which is no way near thousands of dollars.
    Or probably your friend is abusing the free offer and probably breaking their tos by using multiple accounts to abuse their free tournament.

    I think that the fact that there are free tournaments on the above sites and that he has friends who make poker are different statements.
    It’s impossible to earn lucrative amounts in free tournaments with small pools of money and huge pools of players.

    However, he is right that poker is one of the most stressful activities, leading to many mental problems.
