So sorry about your experience mate but stake casino is a reputable casino running for a long time here. Not only that it is a big casino well known in the gambling space and featuring super stars, celebrity, athletes etc, I was wondering what your offense could be for them to have suspended your account. Anyways, you would have to sort it out with them as they have their representative to answer to their fans and registered members.

I will advise you of you have not done it to post the link of this thread on their official announcement thread so the representative could see it and respond to your complaints urgently. With this, you could get the attention you deserve from the stake casino.

Here's the link to their official announcement thread

China knows what they want so they extending hands in loan servicing is not bad as the loans are for a particular meaningful purpose. China is a  friendly nation so I do not see it as a new thing her sister nation going to them for loan and one thing I like about China is that they do not refuse the loan, they are open and give helping hands to all countries.

Sri Lanka agreeing to pay back with monkeys is not a bad thing if that is what China opted for as loan or debt servicing, it is okay for them to get along together. Do not forget that Chinese eats animals alot and also note that animals are very strong creature  and are better option for experimental analysis and test for newly produced drugs, chemicals and lots more to know how effective they can be to humans.

So therefore, I see no reasons anything wrong for such agreement if China made such request or Sri Lanka making such proposal for debt servicing.

Earlier this year, bitcoin was below $15k and grew up through to this current price. So not forget that it touches $31o before the retracement back to the current price. Now my opinion is this, bitcoin is not dependent of national policies, it is not dependent on who starts accepting bitcoin now to drive market purchase power which influence the price of bitcoin in a good condition. You just should know that bitcoin is a volatile assets and can be able to pump and dump within seconds of trade.

Currently, it's a bull market, there would be large buy order as investors are keying in so they could gather  and together with their own.

Congratulations on this successful milestone achieved. You are such a revered member here. You have contributed to this platform immensely and I commend your efforts to making sure things go right on this platform. This is a dream come true. I so much cherish this achievements and would also want to play the same route as you did to achieving this height here and I pray for the grace as I see it is not as I think it is. Your contributions speaks of great volume and it is still speaking for you here and it will continue to as it has a good effect on members and the platform.
Once again congratulations.

Congratulations on your achievements mate. It is a dream come through.  I like the speed at which this feat was achieved. So fast and with ease. I pray for that grace to speed up too. Your contributions are quite insightful and has helped alot and many to grow through ranks too. Same grace I pray for
Once again congratulations on your new rank.

Going by your opinion, I think it is better one reads the terms and conditions of a casino before getting involved with the casino. In as much as everyone is trying to avoid kyc so it is the casino too would want to know who they are dealing with in accordance to their local law. For them not to default, they demand for your identity to be in the safe side if government agencies comes for them. So it would be in your best interest to either identify with them or you leave them but you rushing to identifying with them as a result of their bonus without going through the terms and conditions of Service is a big blunder and therefore if they withhold your funds demanding for your identity verification, you should comply as well because you signed up for it.

In as much as gambling involves staking, it also involves the risk of uncertainty as an end outcome of an activity one gets him or herself involved as a result of their commitment through finance or otherwise. For gambling to take place there must be a financial commitment or a collateral of good value in place of the estimated value of the money to pay. With this, then you can say or call it gambling and one thing is that you can not determine the end result as it is probably fair enough for transparency and credibility.

Like I said in my previous post, you predicting the end game result does not mean you are gambling. I believe you are just bringing your knowledge and expertise in play for the benefit of others to get a good profits from your prediction or knowledge.

As an investor whether a newbie or not you should know that the first thing you do upon investing in a project is to do a research on that project to know the team behind the project not just the team, finding out if truly the team they claim to be are genuine or aware of the project just as you have said that most of the team members are just fabricated to get at unsuspecting participants to scam.

Connecting of your wallet to a site which you have no knowledge about is dependent of you. If you choose to connect the wallet with your funds then it is left for you because as a smart investors you should know that creating a fresh new wallet should be the option.

I am not afraid chatting with strangers as I already have my ground on that. I never fall fir strangers like that when it comes to having conversations of such nature. It gives me more experience in tackling such situations in the nearest future if any of them comes my way but one thing I know is that i for sure make them give me their information by themselves when we covers. So I do not loose anything if they think they want to scam themselves and not me.

So funny how they use profile pictures of people to wanting to scam people thinking it is that easy to  scam some one just like that only if that person is a new bie in the system that is when the person becomes penetrable by them.

It is very dissappointing such an experience. Borrowing and not being able to meet up payment as agreed is not good I must admit but if it happens unintentional then the borrower should be given a benefit of doubt then if it exceeds the day of grace given then any actions can be metted on the borrower as long as it is within the covers of the law and platform where such agreement took place then is is ok to go  but I see no reason why a borrower who can not meet up with repayment run away. Anyways, this platform has some standards so borrowing would need you having a clear thought over it before making an attempt otherwise your account would go in for it.

It is natural you panicking to selling your assets when you noticed a sudden decline or drop as a result of fud and other factors too more especially when you are holding for a short time.

No investor would be comfortable watching while their assets value decline without taking profit from it or better still taking back their capital while they can to avoid loss.

This is the experience of every newbie.

OP your topic is not bad  but I would like to say something and please do not get me wrong. I was trying to pick out from your post here how to handle the situation but I realized that it is not so as you think. Let me start by saying this,  it is only when you have  been able to satisfy your needs that is when you can be able to concentrate on what ever you want to do. Do not forget that a hungry man is an angry man. So by saying this you should be able to know that where I am driving to but however, there are limits to some certain exercise but when in excess without control then it tends to be a challenge and addiction. So in the modest, you should know that eating has to be controlled so as not to get it over you.

Investment is not a bad idea because with your investment, your capital will be raking some profits for you whenever it is due but you should be able to make good intuition of your investment before going into it.

However, investment does not only mean your money working for you, you sometimes must invest your time in building up your skills, knowledge and other espect of life to gain relevance. Just like OP said here about building your account to a better rank through meaningful activities and contributions here, this is ok to go by as you will benefit from it as time goes on. It is also an investment too and it doesn't require finance for you to start with.

OP from what I understood from you post here is this; you predicted a game and it happens that the game was a success and you were paid for it, I assume that to be a work and pay exercise where your expertise was brought into function and that I really think I not gambling as you were paid for your expertise which you Serviced them with compared to when you use your own money to gamble, you bet in the sense that you either win or you loose your bet that is what I can tell you is gambling.

So therefore, gambling involves you placing a bet with something tangible in course of gaming and without anything in your name for gaming to win o see that as expertise brought in play so that is not gambling.

Mate, the matter sef tie wrapper o. My friend been dey tell me say Naija don jump from frying pan enter fire I begin laugh.  Seriously let us tell ourselves the truth which way are we heading to? Old men still in the corridors of power  and I was wondering those days when we use to sing we are the leaders of tommorow but my brother the leaders Dem wey dey power that time still dey grapse the power till today and dem never tire for the power. Na the same youths dey vote them put for the same power wey the elders Dem dey.

I just think the youths are really not ready for the revolution and change they  glamour for. The same youths are used to rig election and same youths help them steal ballot boxes so how does the corruption stops, when the youths take part in all these activities do you expect the old men still in power to handover power to the youth?

Welcome mate. Your casino seems to be an interesting one though but I must commend you for your UI as it is very unique. You got a good developer and a nice brand but all these does not guarantee you the traffic but your services rendered coupled most with your customer care service. I will urge you to be steadily active as this seems to be the account to the representative of the housebet casino and therefore, must be consistently be active to responding to questions, enquiries, complaints etc as these are the things members look at  in sourcing for casinos to identify with.

As you can see for yourself, there are big names for which you will have contend with here as your popularity is not that  strong and I believe you know the benefits of advertisement and promotion which I will advise you to seek the expertise of a good signature campaign manager to help manage your signature campaign management. You can contact @Royse777 for your  campaign management.

OP I did had such experience years back. Then I was in the university as that was part of my side hustle you know. I do import some goods then from one of the Asian county, I did my very best with much efforts to make sure that I was successful in the business which happened so. I sold alot of goods then but a lots happened though. I had to employ a staff as it was the only thing I could do as to help me out but the unfortunate happened. While I was doing my University final year I became so my occupied that I do not pay attention to my business anymore leaving it to the care of my employee. I became
furious as to what was happening that I do not see any return after much efforts. So I did not hesitate to shot down.

Congratulations on this mile stone of yours mate. It is a good thing you have done to have made bitcoin a payment option for your services rendered as a means of payment for gas in your locality. I like what you have down mate, as I see based on what you have said, mostly people who patronize your gas station are youths so therefore, it would be of good benefits and importance that you do e needful just as you have said to enlighten them more on bitcoin and how it works so that they could be able to adapt quickly to it but I will advise you not to think or try a way of convincing them so that you do not put yourself into problem.

OP, I think this is not feasible because I believe every gambler has his or her own gambling pattern so therefore, do not expect what works for gambler A to work out for gambler B and also vice versa both parties. Every one has his or her own unique way of playing to win. Another thing is the time of playing which varies from all some people believe in playing at a particular time with a particular pattern or way of paying which is quite different from the others.

What I will advise you to do is to develop yourself in gambling on a particular game and do take note of times and of your Winnings so as to know when to play, your mood and reactions to your games at wins.

I thought as much though and I also had to look at my own experience with roulette game I play. It seems there is correlation between what OP has explained and my experience.

I played this game onboard a roulette live game casino and I enjoyed the game and suddenly after some big wins, I started observing some certain changes on the roulette game I play and I noticed this precisely, after I won big, while watching the them count and pack up and after a little while after I had chat on their chat box, their staff came and started again and I placed a big bet this time before they package up which they did not spin the roulette but after the staff came out and we continued, I lost all my heavy bet for that particular set. Ever since then I noticed it I stopped playing at that casino and I also stopped playing roulette game.

OP it is clearly stated in the Constitution that May 29 is handover and swearing in of a new government as amended. No amount of threat can stop the law from taking it course. INEC and other third parties can not stop the hand over come may 29. The law also respect it's order and can not do anything about it. One thing I know is that every one can exercise their grievance at the law court but can not stop it's course from taking effect.
There have been many instances and occurrences where things similar in nature to this rants occurred but nothing happened. It did not stop the law from taking its course. So what ever they are planning to do wouldn't hold any water. I am not talking because of political parties involved, I am not talking in favour of any party but I am talking based on past occurrences and events.
 
The hand over and swearing in would hold.
