2621  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: 1xbit blocks withdrawals with 0.53 BTC in account on: February 09, 2022, 02:58:14 PM
It's 1xbit though.... I mean, idk even why people still actually use their site, especially if you were to DYOR a bit, you'd find a lot of negative reviews and reactions with how they're running their site. It's to the point that cases like yours, are well, nothing really new at this point, since it has happened in the past and could possibly continue to do so if people don't do their own research about the casinos they're actually trying to enter. Unfortunate for you OP, you don't even need to wait till feb 22, I hardly doubt you'd get an answer honestly. But if you do, well glad for you.
2622  Economy / Gambling / Re: Can you manage gambling addict by taking drugs? on: February 09, 2022, 12:43:11 PM
No, it won't. That's a pretty dumb mindset to have ngl, Yes, it might remove him from his addiction from gambling, but it doesn't really solve the root problem since drugs would simply replace the void that was opened up due to forgetting about gambling. I honestly would recommend getting another hobby instead, maybe Gundam building, jogging, biking, idk. it may seem more expensive than gambling, but I'd honestly say it's a lot better since it wouldn't turn into an addiction, unlik gambling.
2623  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Giving Bitcoin to Employees on: February 09, 2022, 09:02:41 AM
Make it an option instead of a guarantee. There might be employees who would not prefer using crypto over fiat, after all, that is their paycheck, they probably use more than 50% for stuff that they need to pay. As for asking for a method, well, it shouldn't be that hard, if they wanted crypto in the first place they should already have their own wallets. If they don't I reckon you can prepare some paper wallets, no need to complicate it as much. It is going to be a temporary storage after all, until they can create their own which shouldn't take long imo.
2624  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it involve risk connect metamask to opensea? on: February 09, 2022, 03:42:47 AM
I don't think so no. I don't know how it works specifically, but it's pretty much like allowing transactions between two points/networks when you connect metamask to opensea. It's like opening up a channel, BUT you still have the last word on whether a transaction would go through to the said channel (via metamask). You'd probably only get hacked really if the site you visited was a phishing site or you got human-engineered or something. So yea, just make sure you're visiting the correct site and are approving transactions you know you should approve.
2625  Economy / Economics / Re: Times Change! on: February 09, 2022, 12:52:08 AM
True, but we shouldn't blame them really. It was hard to believe on something that popped out suddenly as a form of currency, with what all the jargon that Wikipedia people probably didn't even know or understand about. Plus, well, they weren't alone. A lot of groups and companies probably believed it to be the same. We should be glad instead that they changed, after all, if they still refused to acknowledge Bitcoin even after all this time, then something is indeed wrong.
2626  Economy / Gambling / Re: Help me to find a good casino/bookie on: February 08, 2022, 02:50:30 PM
I'm dropping some of the ones I've personally used. I've tried Roobet, Wolfbet, Rollbit and FortuneJack. They're pretty solid casinos with pretty good customer support (as far as I experienced anyway), and have a pretty solid list of games. There's also others I've heard of such as stake (don't mind the accusations, they're just that, accusations) and Duelbits. There's probably a bunch more out there but those are the most notable ones I've heard and experienced. Do note that most of what I've said requires basic KYC though, so if you don't want those then probably better to find another.
The only thing that I don't understand is why most cryptocasinos require KYC? I understand this situation with fiat gambling sites, as they have to cover their asses with your KYC documents. However, in crypto you don't need to provide any proof of identity. So WTF? I see some casinos without this KYC requirements. That's good but they are not numerous.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5384564.0 Here's an entire thread that has some tidbits about why. tldr is basically it is a business requirement. Crypto may not require KYC, but gambling does.
2627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino KYC how it works and to what effect on: February 08, 2022, 01:16:14 PM
Realizing how negatively kyc is seen by many players mostly in cryptocurrency casinos players am confused what kyc does in a casino, why do some casino operators have kyc and others don't have. I email also a part of kyc because most casinos often than not request email. What are KYC's advantages and disadvantages.

Expect a casino to have a KYC if they have a license, this is compliant with their license issuer money laundering agreement, always be ready with your document even if you do not expect the casino to ask for KYC, once you joined a casino with the license they are legit and compliant with the existing laws and part of this is asking KYC from their players either random or if they think one account is questionable.
I expect it isn't random, they should have their own stuff that they're trying to judge whether they should ask for KYC or not, judging probably from the amount they bet (or are trying to withdraw) plus any suspicious activities, like maybe sudden deposits of big amounts when the user used to do small amounts and stuff like that. Any small things could turn suspicious if the user rarely do it, so they can probably do it like that. Honestly, it's understandable really. I may hate KYC but I know why they need to do it, but that doesn't still let me like it.
2628  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lies and critics about bitcoins on: February 08, 2022, 09:58:15 AM
It isn't that surprising really, some articles maybe just a form of misunderstandings (or really, not understanding the topic itself) but it still does give traction to the site by the people who read the said topic. As long as the article seems pretty good, and all details intended were as is and the other misinformation or misunderstanding is solely the opinion of the journalist, it'd probably be allowed. Quality checks don't deign on stuff like that after all.

Plus, negative articles sounds more enticing to read for most people anw, at least it is for me when I know completely nothing of the topic.
2629  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin book as surprising gift on: February 08, 2022, 04:53:54 AM
It'd probably be that I'd recommend books in the first place to people who actually like to read, and honestly, they're rather rare. Most people nowadays have quite short attention spans, especially on a completely new topic, and a rather complicated one (from the outside) like Bitcoin (or crypto in general). I had a few experiences with my friend first but that was because they were rather interested in it, they were asking stuff about what it is, how it works, and mainly how to earn money from it (which is their main motivation I think).
2630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino KYC how it works and to what effect on: February 08, 2022, 01:04:12 AM
Honestly I still don't know why most gambling platform decide to make KYC compulsory which I think should not be so. The use of KYC may have good reason to the gambling operators, but to players, it's total no. I know it could be use to know the real identity and the region their players comes from. Some gambling platform are regulated which the use of KYC is important when it comes to taxes, fine, restrictions and others.
Simple, legality issues. It's mostly due to their provider, or the country they are licensed in, which requires them to do KYC on certain situations (or maybe, on all occasions really) so that they can comply with the laws and whatnot that the country has. Honestly, I think most casinos wouldn't even bother KYC requirements if it weren't for those, it is additional work and I highly doubt they'd lose money if they didn't implement it, they might even earn more.

Plus, if they didn't, they'd be well something of a "banned, illegal site", which would turn away most players. With the label of a "legal casino", they can invite new players.
2631  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if crypto mining is outlawed ? on: February 07, 2022, 05:50:20 AM
Do you see this as a potential threat or did the fud get in my head?
Probably just in your head OP? I mean yes, some countries are banning it, but I don't think it's something necessarily other countries would also follow? That is unless crypto mining was seen as a universal evil or something. Additionally, you'd see people still doing it on their home computers or something, just like how it was initially. Hardly doubt countries banning them would actually do anything to people who still want to mine. Plus, mining groups could easily migrate to other countries if they needed to imo.

It's not liked NOT just in cryptocurrency casinos, but in all crypto-related stuff. See, it completely goes against the concept of pseudo-anonymity that crypto (or at least, Bitcoin), is actually defined for. It's solely for the user's sake, in this case, for example, my sake, or my privacy to be exact. There are advantages for KYC, but it's mostly for the other side, so that they can guarantee that you're under the law and under the T&C, so that when anything pops up that you are liable for, they can easily find you. But well, in general, we're using cryptocurrency exactly because we don't want KYC, so what do you think most people would feel if casinos introduced KYC?
2633  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: stake.com- Does not have gambling responsibility on: February 05, 2022, 04:53:29 PM
Maybe, but why the fuck do sites even have that "Responsible Gaming" policy (and requisite emblem at the bottom) if they aren't going to do anything about it? This is 100% on Stake. It doesn't matter whether the guy would have gone elsewhere and lost his funds. The instant he selected to self exclude, that specific account should have been cut off. No ifs, ands or buts.

They say they care about Responsible Gaming because it makes them look good on the surface. But they don't care one bit.
Well, they do have the self-exclusion program, users just have to actually understand how it works you know? Most responsible programs and whatnot are prerequisites so most sites that have them have their own programs that let users have some method or way to stop themselves from gambling. It's not 100% on stake, it's 100% on the user instead.

Though tbf, I do agree with your statement. It's not that it's all (or it's stake specifically), but some gambling casinos only comply with the requirements but honestly don't give a damn about responsible gambling, after all, it does make them money.
2634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Snooker Game on: February 05, 2022, 10:32:44 AM
Snooker is played on a table similar to a pool table... different set of rules, different table, different balls, you get the picture. Smiley
Here you can read more about it, a bit about the history, rules, etc What Is the Difference Between Billiards, Pool, and Snooker?
Turns out I've been calling pool as billiards all this time (It's what my friends called it when we were playing it way back then lmao). The general rule seems to be similar across all three games? Most differences are in the way players can score points or the way the points are needed to be scored, but other than that, they're almost the same to each other.

besides, is there a crypto casino having this game in their list? or even in sportsbetting, i have never encountered this sports in their list. but i do agree, some people are into this sports. there's an upcoming world snooker championship this April, so let us see if some of these crypto casinos will list this event and give odds to the players.
maybe, the odds are mostly available in fiat bookies but we will see if crypto casinos will touch this event...
Yep, I tried looking up the name on some casinos and I managed to find some tournaments about it you can bet on. I looked around sportsbet.io iirc? Not sure if it was the exact sport but what are the chances of sports having the exact same no?
2635  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it just me or people are out of liquidity ( money ) ? on: February 05, 2022, 08:27:44 AM
Nope, not really? There have been complaints about the gradual price increase of some products here and there, but not to the point that people will not buy them. It's like complaining for 5 seconds before accepting that things would still happen nonetheless, so they just go with it. I haven't even experienced a point where groceries and the like limited the amount that they'd sell, at least in the past year (start of Covid it happened afaik). Might just be limited in your place?
2636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bet365 and UFC extended their partnership on: February 05, 2022, 07:17:24 AM
Sounds pretty good imo. UFC has some pretty solid fan base (or the sports itself) afaik, so they wouldn't really lose out with them extending their partnership, not to mention that it has already shown results over the year. It'd probably also entice some users to go into bet365 with this, so it's a win-win for both of them really. The youtube live is also a really nice feature as well, together with their rewards, it's a pretty nice addition to the stuff they could give out to their users, not to mention how YT is pretty much a universal platform now for livestreams.
2637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Roobet & Rollbit on: February 05, 2022, 12:54:01 AM
I would directly ask in their respective thread but I had to post twice in both threads. I could have PMed them but thought to share it here.
Roobet & Rollbit seem to be operating by same owner. I don’t know how to check, I don’t want to explain either why do I think these both casinos are operating by same people.

It is possible that they acknowledged but I don't know. Hence, to community, do you know anything about this? Do these are operated by same or different person? What's your opinion on this? I don’t have any complaints or accusations. I'm just looking for a clarification whether both managed by one owner or not.
Idk man, sounds like you just avoided asking them directly and instead opted for the option of asking indirectly. Plus your guess is pretty much, well, THAT. A guess, nothing backed it up since you didn't want to share, so it's like most of us are just presenting general info which honestly can easily be found.
I checked their license to see what company they used to register their gambling site. now, while Rollbit license is showing that they are owned by Bull Gaming N.V., Roobet license is showing that they are owned by Raw Entertainment B.V. unless both of the companies they used are owned by the same person I don't think the two gambling site is related. anyway, you can see their license on the bottom of their web page.

Tried looking up a bunch of info regarding the two, not really much was found, Bull Gaming was relatively new so there wasn't really anything, Raw Entertainment on the other hand had a few results BUT it was quite lacking (and confusing) so i won't share any. I did try to look up directly who are the owners and Roobet was under TEK5HOU instead of Raw Entertainment. Might be under it or a sister company idrk. Rollbit was under Bull gaming indeed though, but no official site from what I looked up.
2638  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A little reminder why Bitcoin is necessary on: February 04, 2022, 05:38:18 PM
My interpretation (right or wrong): Paypal will give you the boot if they do not like you, Bitcoin embraces you.
Well, they'd only boot you if you did something wrong (or idk, someone from higherups hates you, which is the less likely occurrence most of the time imo). Honestly, it's they're right, it is the business they are running so they have to take some measures so that if ever there were some malicious activities, they can immediately cut it off without having the issue of legality since well, they already stated they could do so. Nothing really wrong imo.

Bitcoin being the better option isn't necessarily always true, it's always a subjective type kind of thing, or maybe situational idrk, see it depends.
2639  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I want your happiness. on: February 04, 2022, 02:42:29 PM
Well, that's the thing with trading, it goes hand in hand with stress, and if you were to start saying everything gives stress, then the stress in trading is way more because of the fact that you directly handle money while doing it. It's nothing odd or new really, most traders experience it, it's just that the level you can handle is correlated to the amount of money you actually have or earn in a daily basis, not counting the ones that you get from trading. If you were plenty rich, then trading wouldn't be that stressful if you were handling levels that could be easily handled (though if it were BIG numbers, then yea, they'd also feel a sting tbf).
2640  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Snooker Game on: February 04, 2022, 08:15:11 AM
So it's kind of billiards but a different set of rules? Probably why it isn't that known, most people would probably know (and prefer) the well known billiards instead of that, not to mention that billiards isn't exactly a very famous sport (at least, on some countries). There should still be matches that are being betted on though, not that I know where exactly since I don't look for them. Others have said it though, so goodluck to you finding it. Might watch a few matches since it's honestly my first time finding the term.
