261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do casinos do with inactive accounts? on: April 16, 2024, 08:31:38 PM
What do casinos do with inactive accounts? And what does inactivity mean - not logging in to your casino account or logging in say every two months without playing any game?

I also learned that there is something called a dormancy fee or maintenance charges on those inactive accounts which covers for administrative cost incurred by those accounts. I learned that the deduction is from the remaining balance in the account. What about inactive accounts without any balance? On the other hand, what type of fee is charged on an active account?



I don't have much idea about in this kind of issues but I think it depends to a casino's terms&Condition, that's why it's important to read T&C to know this kind of scenarios because every casino/sites offers different terms and conditions to their clients. Just like in bank, when there is no activity in a bank account for a long time, it becomes a dormant account but it is not immediately considered as dormant because they give a grace period as to when it will become dormant, other people have a chance to deposit money just to not which even lead to locked/close account.

Anyone who borrow money to gamble is not a responsible gambler and he will definitely be an addicted gambler. And for the first place why must a gambler agreed to lose gambling because in gambling you have to try your luck with good or bad and you don't have to agree that you are going to lose. Tell your friend not to push his loss in gambling because he will end up chasing to become an addicted gambler. And he should be a responsible gambler with a well plan budget so that he can control his gambling habit and if not he will lose more. Though it is good to change strategy but he has to be a responsible gambler.

Exactly! OP's friend shows being an irresponsible gambler because he used loan money just to get back all the money that he have loss in gambling which is not advisable because we all know what will going to happen if we do that kind of strategy, You will become addicted and being in a huge debt. No matter how many advise we give to them, OP's friend will never listen because seems like he is decided on the things that he will going to do.

The gambling is the game with both the possibility,but most of us fail to understand the possibility of losing in the gambling.So if the gambler get into the gambling,in the behalf he had agreed to lose the capital on their bad luck.Some new gamblers most feel this way of thinking after the loss in the gambling,but the experienced gamblers will ready to move on,because they know with their knowledge he can make the big money in some day.One if my friends had loss nearly 2000$ in the gambling,because of his loss even his family suffered a lot in financially.Even his family not able to afford to pay their rent for their house for the few months.

I had suggested my friend to quit gambling and I had feel that he totally get addicted to the gambling.Which was the cause for the many high risk to get into the complete loss.But he clarify me,he had loss the money because he had follow the same betting strategy with the changing algorithm of the gambling site.From his experience,I had learned we should not follow the same betting style for the changing algorithm.

Now he had decided to start the gambling again with the loan money to balance the previous loss of 2000$.What is your opinion on this,I had suggested him to go to the regular job to reduce the loan in step by step to reduce the loan burden.But he had word of “We can earn,Where we had loss everything “.Share your opinion on this.

it's hard to give advice to people who only want to follow their own beliefs, Imagine? Your suggestion is good that maybe it is better to find a job to have a fixed income and it will help to reduce their debts but in the end, he chose to continue gambling because of the belief that when something is lost, there is better replacement, He didn't know that what he was doing was only bringing himself closer to an even worse problem. it's hard to give advice to people who only want to follow their own beliefs, Imagine?

264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you feel when you experience violence while gambling on: April 16, 2024, 03:27:56 AM
However, i Dont know If you have actually experienced such things At the betting shops And If yes How do you feel or react At the situation? .
I haven't experienced such thing in any gambling shop. But I know for sure that such things do happens. There is no body that will find him or herself in that situation that would feel happy. it is very funny how people act in betting shops or casino halls. Due to this reason hss made me to always stay away from betting shops and stay at home when Gambling. My advice to people is that if they are not compatible with gambling outside, they should gamble online at home parhaps that is the reason why online gambling has been put in place to avoid such behaviours from public places.

On point! That's one of the main reason why other gamblers shift to online gambling sites rather than going out in a casino house, maybe because they have experienced such troubles inside a casino house, I mean, who wants to gamble with a messy environment right? our focus will possibly wrecked if we encounter something like that. Same to your advice, people should know their compatability places because other gamblers prefer to visit casino houses with a good and peaceful environment, so If you are a type of gambling who's quick-tempered and easily angry in little things, you should stay at home and do the online gambling for the sake of everyone, we will not adjust for people like that.
265  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling: Modern entertainment or highly addictive game? on: April 15, 2024, 10:39:05 AM
I think online gambling is both modern/digital entertainment and at the same time, it is a highly addictive game. When we take entertainment we have to spend money in the same way at online gambling. 
Entertainment, we should be ready ourselves for the future. Money is basis of our findings and we should be extremely careful with the system. This current days are complicated and we ought to know what's coming for us because the system can be the one to promise and fail us at the same time. Online gambling have complicated everything, we're now even just as those gambling addicts. Online gambling have made everything accessible for us, we just have to know what's profitable for us.

I agree, Online gambling is easily accessible to everyone especially now that it is searchable on the internet so even those minors has an access so we need to be extra careful  since money is involve here, we need to know everything once we enter gambling activities to avoid any conflicts, problems and issue that may happen. Having an engagement in any gambling activities needs a corresponding self discipline to mininize the possible losses.
266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where would you prefer to watch your favorite team? on: April 15, 2024, 09:27:06 AM
Some people would love to watch their favorite team at home with their family, some at a bar while their are others who would love to go to a viewing center. I come from a family where football is appreciated but currently they would prefer to go about their daily activities instead of joining me to watch our favorite team play. We all know how boring it could be watching football alone, their is this joy when you communicate and Analyze the game with people who have good knowledge about football so  sometimes instead being bored from watching live football alone at home, I would rather go to a bar or viewing center, the viewing center especially cause it's funny how different fans argue about sports and make fun of the rival teams at the sports viewing center. That is the fun of football asides the players playing on the pitch, the argument, discussion and expectations from various fans in a bar or viewing center makes it more entertaining and interesting.
 Let us keep this discussion going, where would you prefer to watch your favorite team?

It depends on what kind of person you are, because there are other gamblers who prefer to watch alone, they enjoy themselves more as a companion, but there are also others who prefer to watch with their fellow fans because they enjoy it more when there is someone who can relate to what they are watching. For me, even though I'm not an introvert type of person, I still prefer to watch the match of the team I support just inside the house, I don't like to watch with a lot of people because I might not be able to focus on watching and might end up my attention to your colleagues, for sure only talking  with them will happen.
267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Rise of eSports Betting on: April 15, 2024, 07:01:11 AM
It's no surprise that eSports betting are getting popular now, especially for online games which now have a million dollar winning prize. I do place bets in eSports leagues for more than a year now and there's really a lot of professional gamers in different game leagues. Though there's only few games are known such as Dota 2, CS:GO, Valorant but I've seen there are some other eSports like Mortal Kombat, Rocket League, etc. that was also available but was not that popular to gamblers.

Here in South east Asia, one of the well-known Esports Tournaments is Dota2, Valorant and Mobile legend, Especially now that the mobile legend tournament is more popular and the winning prize is really big because there are also many sponsors for them, it is no wonder that it will become more popular and this kind of Esports betting will expand even more because the tournaments are still going on now. One of the Esports betting I've tried is the MLBB Asia tournament because I can relate more to that because I also play ML, and I enjoy it a lot because the match is interesting.
268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Geopolitical Tension and its effects on Gambling on: April 15, 2024, 06:31:14 AM
Gambling for me is a means of relieving myself from the stress of my work life and that wouldn’t change because of war happening in other countries. Now if my country is at war, I don’t think I would even have the luxury of thinking about playing my favorite slot games.  In those circumstances, things that were fun before suddenly become unimportant. My priorities would be my safety and the safety of my loved ones. So yes, definitely casinos in the affected regions will experience major reductions in the number of active users.

not unless your a gambling addict, you know that? even though the country is at risk and is experiencing a severe crisis, some people still can't stop gambling, a big example is that when there was a pandemic, others didn't totally stop gambling, the online gambling sites even made more noise that day because countries are locked down so other gamblers have moved to online gambling.. Based on your answer, it's a good indicator that you are having self control and discipline, which is good because you know what's your priorities in case that thing happens
269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The person who can’t control emotions in gambling will never earn money from it on: April 15, 2024, 02:02:16 AM

With that it is clear that the ability to control and manage emotions is not to increase the chances of winning but only useful for minimizing the amount of loss so that we do not lose too much due to dominating emotions, because after all, the problem of winning in gambling usually refers more to luck.

When a person knows his limit, he can simply quit when things are not going his way anymore, and when he sees that there is no benefit in going further anymore rather he just simply leaves and forgets everything that happened before. On the other hand, people who are easily hyped are also easily controlled by the current scenario and most of them are not aware of the consequences of their actions so they just quickly run their emotions until they exhaust all the money in their pocket and use it all just to lose it.

Yup, especially if a person knows what his gambling goal is, that when we enter gambling, we must be aware of everything that can happen if we neglect it. That's why pioneers always tell newbies that when you enter gambling, there is no turning back and you must have your mind and pocket ready because anytime you can change your mindset once you have started it, so for me, it's a big deal Having self control and strong discipline in ourselves, let's not be like others who changed their perspective after experiencing big wins.
270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double your money and quite on: April 15, 2024, 01:03:18 AM
My losses today in sports betting is proudly sponsored by my greediness to get to my target ASAP. After taking the first loss, I took another unplanned, impromptu bet to try and recover some losses. What happened? Even more losses. Greediness and emotional strength are some underrated traits that anyone that gambles need to have because it's a game where you can either win or lose and you need to be able to take the losses as much as you enjoy the winnings.

Most people don't know but sometimes, the best gambling strategy is not gambling at all or taking action.
Greediness and impatience is a fatal combination which gamblers must avoid at all costs. When the plan doesn't go as expected, it's better to calm down a little bit, relax and take a break from gambling until you come up with a new plan which can be executed in a promising manner, so you increase your chances of recovering the first lost bet through the second one. But when gamblers act impulsively, worried about recovering losses without planning their next actions carefully, the gambling session ends becoming a snowball of unrecoverable losses.

Anyway, you can learn from the experience you had today in order to not repeat it again next time.

Maybe that's why most people say that people will learn better once they experience the event themselves rather than reading scenarios and advice, right? Everything you mentioned is correct, it is necessary to think carefully about the recovery plan so that it does not lead to a bigger loss and if we notice that the losses continue, it is better to give ourselves a break so that we can think better other plans and to avoid consistent losses.
271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: April 14, 2024, 10:55:19 AM
Gambling addiction is disastrous, that's why I emphasise on the need to curtail early signs. It very hard for an addiction to stop, because they have the constant urge for it, it's like drug addict instead of the demand to be low they sort for means to please themselves, why because the reward system and Dopamine has being triggered.

The only best means is for the addict to attend therapy, classes for gambling addict and personal development classes. No matter how we preach all things, the step must be from the gambler, if he isn't ready to make the decision and discipline himself, nobody effort will count.


Losses are made daily in the system, we should take full control of our affairs. Our efforts can be scrambled when we failed to apply solid strategies towards the system, always having zero edge but we expects profits, it's not done like that. Gambling addicts have always been one of the top challenges in the system and when a gambler is an addict, that's the end of that gambler interms of properties and valuables. He's ready to raise any amount to gamble with the believes of winning huge in the market some day.

Agree, we can't change the mind of an addicted gambler, no matter what we do to explain it we can't do anything because they only think about themselves, their goal in gambling is to win so even if all their money is used up, they don't stop on betting until they win . They find it difficult to stop even when their budget for gambling is exhausted because what they think is that the chance is wasted and they might win even though they know that winning is uncertain.
272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you achieved anything from gambling on: April 14, 2024, 09:55:01 AM
I gambled for a while, but after playing I failed more than I succeeded. That is because my skills here were very low and it is not possible to achieve success here with low skills. But I have seen many people who have made a lot of money by gambling and have been very successful. It is not the same for everyone here. It turns out that what you think is right, often turns out to be the opposite, the gambler who participates against you wins.
Ensure to know what you're doing in the system, and don't over step boundaries because there are consequences. We have the important wins and also do the needful attributes. Gamblers will win when they have succeeded in expanding their strategies and having the best general view of the system, referring to the underground passes. Achievement from gambling? It took me months before I was able to hits the lotto in system, we should be ready to know what's involved, the risks and rewards.

Having an achievment came from gambling took a while to get because we weren't sure if we would win in our first game or not. It's not that easy to have achievements in gambling because sometimes our gambling funds just come back, but it also depends on how well you budget your money, because there are some people who when they have money from gambling, they prioritize to spend it on luxuries or on other things, they do not immediately prioritize saving money or buying things that will serve as an investment for them in the future.
273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is AI going to affect gambling in any way ? on: April 14, 2024, 07:34:01 AM
AI has impacted almost all online businesses to major extent. Do you feel that there will be major impact of AI technology on online gambling industry as well ?
The existence of Artificial intelligence have also reduced the work of human and have dominated the system. Gambling industry is simply not what we think it is and the earlier we start resolving our matters, the better we will having our positioned stationed. What's the main objective of AI? It's been used to accomplish complex tasks and we should be ready to know the knots and tights of the system. AI have conquered and consumed our thoughts in the system, with time every tasks will be carry out by AI.

In the country where I reside, the use of AI is as blunt as though there is nothing like AI yet, people are still relying on their self for every action they take. AI is being used in some cases here but it have not dominated any system and I am not yet aware if AI have completely dominated any system in other country, if such thing will happen, it's probably in the future. What am aware is that so many people are using AI to perform trading, some are using it to do assignments in school, some are using it to create images but I don't know how AI can fit well in the gambling system.

same here mate, AI has not been fully used yet, there are trial usages that appear just like when there's an AI reporters were trending, the quality is not that good and another thing is that people are also the ones who manipulate the AI's so maybe they have not been fully adapted yet even if we say that we are in modern technology now, and if such an AI technology happens that almost everyone will work for the country, what about the people who may lose their jobs?

Well that is the most effective way to alarmed the team of each site , when creating a topic against them directly because they knew how much publicity they need from bitcointalk so congrats at least they are responding now.

that's right, there are a lot of websites these days that when there is a problem, they don't respond immediately even if the issue is alarming and it takes too long, they deserve to be exposed for what they are doing because without this, there will certainly be no actions or response from the customer service team. Those people know that there are many users in the forum, so they are responding so quickly now, they are afraid of losing clients.
275  Economy / Economics / Re: Governments and their irrelevant projects just to steal public funds on: April 14, 2024, 02:05:56 AM
I understand what you mean OP, but alot of people do not get it clear as you didn't provide enough details to what the discussion is about. But for people like that understands I will definitely contribute to the said topic.

Most times I repeat this statements that in every decision taking by some government, there is a shadow party somewhere. Governments sometimes creates projects that could fetch the cartels millions in there pocket over night especially at the end of their tenure and if watched closely this case which you are specifically referring to was conducted at the end of their tenure, it's typical a means to milk the country before leaving the position of executive president.

Since I have come to understand that the country is beginning to look like a joke to the elites I have made decisions not to give ears to whatever strategy that they will develop.

same here, especially when I see that even those in low positions like city officials do wrong and steal the funds of the barangay, what's more if they have been elected to a higher position, right? Once again, they are doing the same projects even uf there's nothing need to fix just so they can say they have done something, as if the people of the town don't think, so now we should get to know better those officials who will run in the next election to reduce having a corrupt governmenr officials.
276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A lot of gambling sites are scams ! on: April 13, 2024, 11:10:35 PM
Yes, sometimes we noticed that some of the gambling site are  scam and if you don’t take a look at it very well you may fall into the victim, but the best thing that I will actually advise you is that is, there is a lot of legit gambling site that is legit which has been mentioned in different times in this forum or you just have to do is take your time and look for a better company sites little about it, let it be this forum And you can make use of them like the crypto casino. They are all legit.
An unauthorized gambling site will only be an abandoned site and not have any reputation.
If we look at how managers manage campaigns for legitimate gambling sites, we will be able to tell which ones are legitimate and will actually survive.

So far there are many legitimate gambling sites and have been here for quite some time and give payouts to participants on every campaign.
We can very easily find out the legitimate casino sites from the campaign on this forum, we will always find every account using the casino site on the signature campaign and we can choose one of the legitimate casinos that suits our needs, and unofficial casinos will also be reported on the Scam Accusations board if it is proven to deceive many users.

But we have to increase our knowledge to be able to differentiate between legitimate and unofficial casino sites, sometimes legitimate casinos can also potentially carry out scam attempts that cause losses to users, so if you have analytical knowledge then you will be able to avoid casino sites that do not consistently implement the rules and condition.

Yeah right! especially now that once there are any issues such as scam sites, it is quickly spread on different social media platforms by those who have tried it, that's why it's easier now because people are more aware and to warn those who people who intend to try. Usually when you search about a gambling site, the information about it appears quickly and there we can see all the negative feedbacks and complaints of the users, so we should be more prepared and alert, we should be able to research information about the site to avoid scam incidents.
277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: April 13, 2024, 03:03:34 PM
In every country there are certain rules for gambling and in many countries it is illegal to gamble in public places. Even if it is legal to gamble in public places, in my opinion gambling should never take place on the streets or in public places. This is because gambling may not be enjoyable for everyone. When you gamble on the street, children can see it and they can emulate it. This is the beginning of an irreversible path for them. Gambling is a powerful game that has the potential to influence good or bad people. Because it is very tempting for everyone to make money quickly. People also don't like it to be obvious when they gamble.

You have a point, also gambling contains monetary exchanges so it's better to do it in private area to avoid any conflicts and accidents. As you've said, if gambling has been done in public places, there's a tendency that some minors will see you doing that kind of activity and it may gives an idea to the children how's gambling works which is not good because gambling is strictly available for adults and it's not suitable for minors. We have different likes and dislikes when it comes to our activities and As a gambler, I prefer to gamble in a private area with less interaction with other people so that I can do a lot of things without worrying what other people will say about ny actions.
278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: April 13, 2024, 12:19:23 PM
You can never take gambling as a hobby because hobbies are those things where no income comes into play. But people get addicted to gambling mainly for income. People can garden as a hobby, collect physical coins, some like to fish or some like to travel. But gambling people become addicted for pleasure but later it is not limited to pleasure but is considered as a significant means of income.
Again many use it as a means of passing time and that is fine but if one considers it as a hobby then I would say it is completely absurd.
Sorry but you are wrong, people to make money from their hobbbies, maybe you can show me a place where it is said or written that people arent supposed to make money from what ever they take as a hobby, then I possibly may have to reconsider my stand or opinion on this matter.

I've seen people who blog as a hobby, and are making money from it, I've seen people who trade as a hobby, and are making money from it, I've seen many who drive as a hobby, after their day job, they often would drive people around using platforms like Uber, bolt and so on, and they get paid for the service, people write as a hobby, and soon as they become really good, they are hired to write presentations and so on, and they get paid for it, let me even use your own example, people go fishing as a hobby, catch some really good fish and sell it and they make money.

It's exactly the same thing as gambling, there are those who gamble as a hobby, and making money from gambling does not take away the fact that gambling is just a hobby to them, there are times hobbies can even start paying a person far more than that persons job does, and the person will quit his or her to turn what was once a hobby into a real profession, example is bloggers, many big blogging site today started as a hobby for those who own them, and later on, they blog started brining in alot of money, then the owners quit their job to focus on blogging.

those expensive hobbies will give you a profit sometimes, just like what collectors do, they will collect an items and they sell some of them in a higher bid amount so I disagree that hobby should not give you any profit. Gambling is considered as hobby even if sometimes it will leads you to addiction and other  things that may ruin your financial and mental health. we can't deny the fact  that most people consider it a hobby because what else can be called something that we always do and look forward to every time we have money, right?
279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is gambling to you, a fanfare or potential financial havoc? on: April 13, 2024, 11:45:54 AM
How can one draw a line between having fun and getting addicted since they occurr in the same process?

Would education on gambling side effect help some people nor to get too engaged in it despite the thrilling experience it can offer?

People have asked this kind of question several times and we give the same answers to it. You like to gamble but you do not want to spend much money on gambling in a way that gambling will not affect you, then you can have a gambling budget that you can fund weekly with just 5% of your weekly income or less. The less percent of your income that you use for the budget the better you will be. Any gambler that read this and follow it will thank me.
People may ask such questions before in gambling due to they have not noticed the difference or the comparison, their is something I understand in this forum, you don't read constantly in the forum mostly in a specification you find yourself most in gambling you will not be able to know things that has happened before in the forum, so it's the aspect I'm emphasizing on, knowing the right in the forum it will base on your consistent research and observations in the forum. People ask questions base on they are not aware of what they asked and they really want to ask to know.

usually why other people ask questions here is because most of the topics here are already filled with new threads, sometimes even when others search the topics they are looking for do not come up so it is normal if there are many topics here that are asked over and over again especially that people's answers change based on the changing situation.
280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stopping the curse of losing streak? on: April 13, 2024, 11:22:05 AM
That's what most gamblers can't do, they can't let go of their losses and start afresh every time they start gambling which is why they lose more in every other gambling session. If a gambler starts accepting their losses and moves ahead, there won't be any loss streaks that would look like a curse.

If you are a gambler and you keep losing money all the time and you are facing that situation only because you are always chasing your losses, you need to change your pattern, stop chasing your losses and try to gamble normally every time even if you have lost in your last gambling session.

This will make you feel better and you won't have an unending loss streak anymore.
Unfortunately, a large number of gamblers fall for this. Recouping your losses isn't a valid option when you're on a losing streak. Your emotions will get the best of you, and you'll eventually start making more and more reckless bets. The chances are, 9 out of 10, you're going to lose all your money in the process. The OP's approach is the wisest decision at this point: take a break, calm down, and don't be involved in gambling for a few days. Not only will it prevent you from losing more money, but it will also save your mental state and well-being, which is of outmost importance.

This is applicable to those non-addicted person, giving them an advice not to gamble in a few days or weeks is okay and they can easily follow that but to those addicted already? that's impossible. that's why majority of people experiencing losing streak are those people who can't stop on betting. taking a break in gambling will totally prevent you from losing more and for clearing up your mind so that in your next gambling session, you will focus and think clearly.
