Ten years back, when Bitcoin was still finding its feet, there likely weren't many crypto casinos around.  Perhaps a handful at most.  So if someone really managed to game one of those early operators for a big payout, I'd expect there to be some kind of record.  Even a forum post or chat log recounting the tale and  it would be quite a feat to pull off. 

Without further proof the claim does seem rather dubious.  But who knows, maybe this person did get lucky and slip through the cracks before the casinos wisened up.  Stranger things have happened in those early cowboy days of crypto.  Still, extraordinary claims require at least some evidence to back them up.  Otherwise, it's all just talk.

It's possible OP could be an alt account or linked to an LTC Casino account somehow. Same as the aphelio_wane account. All three were active around the same time and even share the same local time.

VanDerTrust and aphelio_wane both registered on the same date: November 17, 2022, just over half an hour apart.

And all three have been inactive ever since.

I understand Rollbit is reviewing your account related to sports bets.  This seems pretty standard - many gambling sites will look closer at accounts with a lot of action on sports.  No need to stress too much and  if you've done nothing sketchy, it should get cleared up.  Rollbit has a good reputation overall, so I'd expect them to be fair and reasonable here. 

Just hang tight for now.  The review may take some time, but if your conscience is clean it'll probably work out fine in the end.  Try to be patient - getting worked up over it wont help move things along.  Hopefully you'll get an update from them soon.

Very well said, Broad generalizations about genders often propagate outdated stereotypes rather than reflecting reality.  You're absolutely right - both men and women can enjoy taking calculated risks or thriving in varied settings and even though gambling is not exactly my favorite pastime, I recognize when done responsibly, some may find it exciting.  Moving forward, we would do well to avoid assumptions based on gender and appreciate each person's individuality.

Well, I assume nothing's changed with the registered users and their balances on the site.  They just swapped out the main domain from ltccasino.com to ltccasino.io, but elsewise everything's the same as before far as I can tell.

But what bugs me more is how their forum rep kept quiet about it all and deleted from ann post, then began promoting anonymous-casino.com instead without explainin' why.  Just don't sit right with me.

Yeah, there's no reason to be sorry about anything.  Since DCA gave you good results in the past it makes senses to keep using that method.   At the end of the day, we just have to figure out what investment style works best for us. 

Yeah, I hear you! It really does seem like the casino knows exactly what we're gonna do before we even do it.  Like they've got some kinda voodoo magic predicting our bets.  What luck, eh? 

But nah, it's just in our heads and  these games work on chance - even if it feels rigged when were on a losing streak.  The house ain't out to get us specifically.  The spins and deals are random, fair and square.  We just gotta chalk it up to cruddy coincidence when we keep picking the wrong numbers or betting big right before a cold run. 

That's gambling.  She's a fickle mistress! But hey at least we know there aint any funny business going on behind the scenes when there is a provably fair system that can be verified.  The game ain't rigged just 'cause our strategy didn't pan out this time.

Yes, I agree with this. We definitely need to keep our eyes open when links look fishy and ask for personal info.

As for the casino, I gotta say I just don't get why their marketing and support people didn't properly prepare and inform users about this domain transition.  Especially with all the shady business tactics already going on in this industry and  it makes a guy wonder if they care about their people at all.  With all the other shady stuff going around with them, it seems best to avoid this casino altogether.  But that's just my two cents.

In that case, your post is off-topic here. The Bitcoin Forum, as you might guess, is primarily for Bitcoin discussions. If you'd like to discuss altcoins speculations, you'll find dedicated boards for them here: Speculation (Altcoins)

I think it's a good idea to take a break from gambling every so often.  It helps keep things in balance, kind of like if you do anything too much and, for me, when I step back for a bit, it makes me think about what matters more and I can enjoy other stuff going on in my life.  
I don't try to stop gambling completely really.  I just look for ways to do it responsibly in moderation I guess you could say.  Sometimes if I notice myself getting overly excited about it or too caught up in it, I'll take a little break.  Or if I want to spend time on other hobbies I have or other investments, Ill take a break too.  I think that's a healthy approach to everything.

You make a fair point - lump sum investing can work well if you happen to buy at a low point, but dollar cost averaging tends to work better over the long run by smoothing out volatility.  There's merits to both approaches and  it comes down to personal preference and risk tolerance. 

But I can see your example of buying Bitcoin at its peak price as cherry-picking.  That was a single data point that ignored Bitcoin's potential for future growth, and that is not the best way to make analysis or draw conclusions.   If we take that approach, does that mean every other asset is also in the same boat as Bitcoin? For example, what about gold?  If you had bought gold at its peak at the end of 2011, it took more than eight years to recover its value. Eight freaking years! Do you think Bitcoin will ever take that long for a new ATH?

In the end, reasonable people can disagree on investment strategies.  As you rightly pointed out combining lump sum purchases with dollar cost averaging can make sense for some investors.  Theres no universally best approach - it depends on one's specific goals and appetite for risk.

It seems LTC Casino's main website (ltccasino.com) is currently facing some availability issues.  There's a chance they could be experiencing a DDoS attack, which overloads servers with fake traffic.

In the meantime, you can access LTC Casino through their alternative domain at https://ltccasino.io.  They shared this new URL on Bitcointalk ANN and Twitter to alert customers.

However, situations like these draw scammers attempting phishing schemes.  Double-check any links come from legitimate sources before entering personal information or making transactions.  Stay vigilant against fraudsters trying to exploit confusion around the website changes.   

I get that losing money gambling can be frustrating.  Believe me, I've been there.  But blaming the dealer or saying things like it's that machine's fault is just making excuses.  At the end of the day, gambling is gambling - you win some, you lose some.  Thats the nature of it and 

I'm not trying to lecture.  I just think getting angry and making accusations won't improve your chances or mentality.  Having a level head is important.  Freaking out makes it all less fun anyway.  It's best to just accept the losses in stride.

Stay sane out there, folks!

That's true. When people get caught up in stuff like gambling addictions, it can screw up their whole lives.  I saw this guy I know from back in the day who started selling all his stuff just to get money to keep gambling.  He even lost his car and everything and  it was sad to see someone throw away their life like that all cause they couldn't stop gambling.

I guess we can't expect everyone to make the same choices we would.  But watching somebody gamble away everything they own is pretty hard to stomach.  It's like theyre trapped in this cycle where they keep making things worse tryna win it all back.  Part of me wanted to smack some sense into him, but the other part just felt bad seeing the mess he'd gotten himself into.

Hahahha! He is such an idiot scammer wannabe.  He can't even remember his own scam attempts.  What a dumbass!

Why would anyone pay anything for a fake wallet.dat file?


Just out of curiosity, how do you plan to prove it?

You said "as a loan" here, but you didn't say that in your other topic, where you practically begged for money, which is forbidden on this forum.

Now you've also opened a service offer, which is great! It's a shame you didn't start with that, as offering services is generally acceptable way to earn money here.

I'm not so sure if there's solid proof that Satoshi left out privacy stuff in Bitcoin only to steer clear of regulations.  In 2009, crypto and what it could lead to was pretty much uncharted territory.  Rules from government might not have been a main thing on his mind and  seems he cared more about creating a decentralized and immutable digital currency that didn't rely on centralized entity and couldn't be manipulated or faked.  Maybe those goals took priority over making payments impossible to trace.

I don't know which casino you are specifically talking about, but let's take Duelbits as an example, since you promote them with your signature.

Everything is here: https://duelbits.com/fairness

If I'm reading correctly, they make portions of their source code publicly available and  i suppose the salient question is whether users can leverage that code to independently audit and verify the site's claimed fairness.   In theory, an engaged community could band together, reviewing shared source elements to call fouls or confirm fairness.  It presents an opportunity for crowd-sourced regulation.

There's a saying about being careful with investing in Bitcoin.  It can definitely be risky business.  At the same time, I want to believe most folks sharing their experiences are doing so honestly, even if they don't get everything exactly right.

Maybe they're new to crypto and still figuring it all out.  Or maybe in their enthusiasm they unintentionally exaggerated or misremembered some details.  Either way, probably best not to assume bad intentions right off the bat. 

And for sure no one should feel pressured into anything.  We all have to make informed responsible choices with our money. 

OP, if you're being honest and genuinely new to Bitcoin investing, I wish you the best of luck. However, if your intention is to post fabricated stories just to gain merits, or forum rank and recognition, please stop. Your post history can be easily checked, so it's best to be genuine and contribute meaningfully to the discussions.
