Well, it certainly sometimes don't, but it does give traction to other players to stop using the site though. I mean, yea, Ig in that case it's a needless task since the one that posted it wouldn't really get anything out of it, but at the very least, other users wouldn't fall into the same predicament. It's just like how people share who are the scammers, even if they can't get what they were scammed back, it's a pretty nice thing to do imo. Plus, if there's a chance, why not do it no? Especially if said forum (not just here specifically) has a mod or two that's active, you can directly talk about it with them easily.

Well, I guess you were pretty lucky since the store was willing to accept Bitcoin, congrats! Honestly, even if you consider the future price of Bitcoin when you bought, it stands that it's still in the "future", while what you're going to use for your phone is in the present, so I'd reckon it's a good purchase nonetheless. Plus if you're hodling a pretty sizeable amount and you're holding for the long term, I reckon spending a bit wouldn't hurt you that much. It'd be kind of dumb to use Bitcoin to pay if that was everything you have invested though, hope OP didn't do such a thing.

It bloody has no purpose if it was "optional". I mean, users would just simply avoid using it anymore, and besides, KYC isn't something that is supposed to be optional, it's supposed to be something pretty much guaranteed by the casino to be done to users once a certain criterion has been met. Even then honestly, they still hold the right to do KYC even if you didn't meet the criteria, all because they're pretty much the owner of the casino, nothing we can do about that.

Welcome to the forum, I'm guessing crypto was a recent add on to the site seeing as the website was pretty old, and it seems like others have already seen the casino in the past?

License was below, the footer part, Curacao license under 1668/JAZ. As for metamask, I don't think it has a country restriction? The casino itself may have one though, just like what happened in your case.

KYC procedures were in the site, it's pretty standard really.

So yea, even with small withdrawals they may just slam you with KYC. So give up on trying to actually play expecting no KYC, no, they're pretty much gonna slam you with that once you start going into their game.

Okay, I think it wouldn't be odd for both sites to have the same UI, they're owned by the same company, Moon Technologies B.V. Take a look at the footer of both sites. Licenses seem to be registered under the same company name and address.

Dead cat bounce. As much as I want to say with how Bitcoin is going to bounce back, it doesn't look like it's going to happen, at least until after a few more months. We're still going to go through that period of decline though, I reckon it wouldn't be odd for the entire year to be on the decline, but I don't think it's going to go down by that much. Probably just a steady slow decline before bouncing back. Still a lot could change, we're only on the 2nd month of the year after all.

Maybe idk, create a social media page first instead of posting about it like this? Then just link that page to the post or to an advertisement in the marketplace or something. A lot better as a form of introduction to your supposed to be made coffee shop. Heck, you should've started introducing it locally even before here, that is unless you were offering some online assortments that deliver globally, then you can start introducing it to a global audience, such as here, where the majority (if not all) are Bitcoin enthusiasts which is your target audience.

Have tried out a few, King Kong Cash and Mega Fortune before afaik, been a long time since I've played slots though most of my recent sessions were poker or blackjack sessions (though I'm mostly doing sports gambling instead of casinos anw). Might try them out if I get the chance to play again and I remember about those titles, especially since afaik I enjoyed my time with King Kong Cash when I first tried it out. Had pretty enjoyable graphics afaik, plus the system itself.

So doesn't that mean that we'd still need to wait whether it would go down or not? Nothing changed from the original wait-and-see a game that investors and traders do. We can only hope for the best and probably react if the market even dips further (for those who have invested). For those who haven't, well, any dip at this point is a pretty good entry point so I don't see an issue there.  I honestly don't think Bitcoin would be able to reach $100k this year, and even if it did, I hope it doesn't, it's going to be a bubble imo, not really something I'd look forward to in the long term.

Can't be helped I guess, people would always ask the same questions every time since the price does change, so their pov of what to do would also change. It's kinda odd really, since most recommendations would always say buy low sell high, and yet people would still ask. With the mentality of each increase means that being the new "high" and each dump being the new "low", it should be possible to at least follow that kind of setup. Or they can just DCA to make all these issues go away.

I'd wait for the $30k wall honestly before doing anything. If, and only if, we ever do go below $30k, the path downward wouldn't be that fast imo, it'd still take some time for the market to go below even if it is going to go below $20k. Honestly, I even doubt if it was going to go below that level, I reckon we can experience people buying in at $25k levels already, which could quickly pump up the price. As for it going below $10k, I hardly doubt that. It might take forever for it to recover if the market ever goes below that level.

Hey, it happens you know, you try something out, it doesn't work out, live with it and move on, especially in trading. There would be a LOT of times where your strategies wouldn't really work out, try checking out the problem. If it was your strategy, then maybe integrate what was wrong to make it work, but if it wasn't, then just stick to it, you might just generally be unlucky. Honestly, most advice would just revolve around buy low sell high imo, but other than that, well it's more on the specific take of the user (you) on the market. After all, no one really knows what the market would end up with a day or two after.

Well if you think it just "looks like", then you don't really know what's going to happen with the market, just like with most of us really. I won't deny that the current market point would be a good spot to invest in, but it doesn't mean that the market wouldn't subside or dip down any longer. If you were investing for the long term, then sure, almost any dip could be called a good investment point but if you were shorting then well, that's a bit more difficult to tell really, or honestly impossible, since no one knows what the market will do.

I mean, that's not how it works? People are naturally like that, if they missed something they could've gotten they'd naturally complain, can't really do anything about it. Sides, I'm pretty sure most people who'd actually complain are people who lost the opportunity to buy it at that price and instead bought it at a probably higher price.

Well if they really did complain cause they didn't bought, well that's pretty dumb imo.

Facts. Honestly, KYC isn't that much of an issue sometimes, it's just that the way they ask for it is kind of dumb and stupid that users bloody hate it. Asking for KYC when withdrawing, asking for KYC when originally it wasn't there, those kinds of things are the ones that are irritating but having KYC stated in full black and white at the start? That's pretty agreeable since I can just leave the site and choose to go to another casino.

As for customer support, well that's always a number one kind of thing. I'd always want an agreeable customer support, one that doesn't just half ass you when you're trying to inquire stuff.

Great job from OP. $100 might be small now but who knows, 18 years is a long time and a lot could happen in the market during that time. I'd suggest investing at least monthly, or yearly if montly isn't possible though, just so that you wouldn't need to rely that much on that sole $100 to bring you profits you'd use for your nephew's growth. You're investing in the long term after all, might as well maximize the investment that you'd do if you can handle it. Honestly doubt it'd be enough, increments of Bitcoin has been decreasing with every new peak after all.

No, not really. If you were talking about its future value then it's rather unknown, since well, it's in the future. I guess the only advantage of buying BTC that can be seen right now is that, well, it's not fiat. It's a lot better than hodling it as fiat honestly if it was extra money you wouldn't exactly use it immediately. Possible future advantages include the price increase therefore the value of the amount you hold would increase (or decrease) in USD, avoiding the inflation of fiat, those are the ones on the top of my head but there's probably a bunch more really.

I'd probably go for both markets? I mean if it was possible, I'd go for both. It's a very niche market imo, though you'd probably have some issues with trying to serve a LOT of customers, but well if you're at the top of the chain, you'd hardly have any problems later on. Having a market for the rich requires you to be rich yourself, so it's going to be pretty hard to actually start it out if you aren't, well, rich. But if you are, both options are pretty plausible imo, though the rich market would probably be easier to set up your business in.

Well, it is relating to newbies instead of experienced traders though. I guess what OP was saying was about how newbie traders would "always" experience breakdowns and stressful experience, compared to experienced traders, who experiences everything all the same BUT they do know how to handle their emotions properly and would rarely let it run out of control. It's probably easy in terms of switching since you have experience, but the risks would still have the same problems all the same.

There's the internet as well, a sea of resources you could find and use to start your trading journey. It might be a bit of a hassle though since you don't know where to start, now that's where you can ask people. If they ask for money, then leave it be, but if they were willing to share it, since most of it is general knowledge stuff afaik, then it should be really helpful in setting your path. Honestly though, the first step starts with having the money to try out trading first, since that money could let you help experience stuff.

Sports gambling is dependent on sports, but not gambling necessarily. I mean we have casinos out there that have their own gambling games such as slots, dice, blackjack, etc., so it isn't necessarily bound to sports. So even if just, for example, a country banned sports for some dumb reason, gambling could still thrive and vice versa. The two don't need to be allowed for both of them to thrive, they're two separate industries after all. If we were to actually specify it to sports gambling though, then yea, OP has it the other way around, sports gambling was just a byproduct of sports themselves imo, without sports, there wouldn't be sports betting.
