e didn't know if it could be a scam from the casino or his friend did not meet up to the terms and conditions to receive the bonus. Most time, casinos do have a limit time for a customer to claim there bonus and if they do that late, they bonus must have gone before claiming it.
We need to be aware of the rules that must be taken for us to receive a bonus or else, we might become skeptical of the rules and end up failing to calm at the appropriate time. For me, most bonus should not be in a space of free hours or days before it expires. Enough time suppose to be given.
If they are late claiming their bonus, they shouldn't complain because it's the rules of the casino, and they have to follow it. And the time allotted by the casino should be enough for gamblers to claim their bonuses unless gamblers really don't have the connections to visit the casino and collect their bonuses. That's another story.

But it's best before we take a bonus through a conditional deposit, we must first know the terms so we don't misunderstand. And for that, we can ask the support service about what is needed to get the bonus.

gambling alone is risky enough so why get involve in a riskier circumstances. just imagine how street gambling will be regulated, how much do you know that there is no anomaly? that there still a legal document behind, that the house still have enough funds when you win big. Yes you can do anything what you would like but t just simply removing restrictions that protects both the gambler and the casino. More likely, street gambling is always link to any tuff or gang so one wrong move, you know where you are going. So be safe, not only to your funds but also to one's exposure.
Instead of endangering ourselves with everything, why don't we gamble in a casino that obviously can provide better security and comfort than a street casino? We also don't need to be afraid if we win a lot because the casino might offer our delivery service, and the money gets home safely. In addition, we don't need to be afraid if there is a raid from the authorities because the casino is legal and won't affect the players. But if anyone feels that street casinos are more challenging, they can still go there, but they must be aware of all the risks involved.

The reason someone chooses to gamble using crypto is because with this crypto we can maintain our anonymity.
The KYC requested by our casino is also not required to fill in KYC data. We can still choose web3 casinos that do not require KYC to be able to bet.
We are really lucky to know crypto because we can maintain our anonymity so we can play gambling without having to fill out KYC. And even though some casinos ask users to do KYC, we can search and get other casinos that don't require KYC. And I agree with those who say you can choose a web3 casino that doesn't require KYC or any identity to bet. And we only need to connect our wallet to the casino to be able to bet.

This is weird, how can it be hard to meet requirements from banks if you are a victim of card details theft? As a customer of the bank once you call for any possible theft they give you an option to block your card and if yes is your answer they will block the card and it will be useless for the criminals.

Things have gotten better this day because banks now have their own apps and you can decide to block your credit card yourself, unless you can't log into your bank app anymore which is stupid, I kinda like this customer access because it gives them the total control of their bank accounts.
That's not strange because the bank needs to make sure that you own the account, and they need time to complete the process. Meanwhile, from that waiting time, the hacker has managed to take all the money in your account so that when the bank is done with all the verification, your money is gone. If you want to block, there are requirements from the bank to ensure you are the owner.

Indeed, the bank has its own application, but we will still be in touch with customer service to ensure that we are the owner. This is indeed a process that the bank must pass before the bank can execute the blocking.
3264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you use a VPN on a casino, even if it is not allowed in their ToS? on: June 03, 2023, 02:44:19 PM
~snip~
there are many popular casino options that can still be used without having to use a VPN, like one of my favorite casinos at the moment, there is a mirror site so that it can still be accessed when someone wants to open the original site but the IP is blocked.
I mean the gambling site that I currently follow has several mirror sites that make it easier for customers not to need to use a VPN to be able to access because usually when using the *****.com site it cannot be accessed but they can use the mirror site *****.ac
so gamblers don't need to use a VPN which will end up being a problem for themselves.
If the casino can have a mirror site, it will be an advantage for the casino because if the users cannot visit the main site because of some problem or something, they can visit the mirror site. This makes it easier for users because they can continue gambling as usual without worrying about problems on the main site. And users don't need to use a VPN just to visit the casino to avoid being investigated or blocked by casinos for using a VPN.
3265  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Risk management on: June 03, 2023, 01:38:25 PM
In trading, on margin or spot, risk management must really be considered because the market can change direction at any time, so we have to think about what to do if we face it. Never use too much money if you are not good at trading and don't have sufficient skills in trading because that will only make you trapped without being able to do anything and can only wait to sell.

And if you can already see profit from your trading, remember to take the profit while you can. If not, you will lose those precious moments, so you have to wait even longer to be able to sell them.

It could and It couldn't be at same time depending on the bankroll of that person. If he can make 7 figures salary and he is a billionaire then he don’t mind betting that huge amount of money therefore he is not gambling addict. Gambling addiction when you are betting outside your limit or simply betting that you can’t afford to lose.

We can’t tell someone that he is addict just because the amount that he is betting is huge for us. We have different financial status and tolerance towards gambling and addiction classification is based on how he is overspending his gambling budget.
We have to look at his previous gambling habits. If he often gambles random amounts of money and gambles almost daily, he may have a seed addiction to gambling that he is unaware of. But regardless of the amount of money he uses, as long as he gambles continuously and without stopping, it can cause him to become addicted to gambling or even addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction arises because we cannot focus on other things, so we only fixate on gambling.

If the person using big money is our friend, we can tell him that he is close to or already has a gambling addiction, so if he hasn't developed a gambling addiction, he can stop it before it's too late. And we, as his friends, can also try to help him by accompanying him in creating a new habit that will divert his mind from thinking about gambling.

In my opinion, if someone knows his true nature, it means if he knows that he has a vulnerable nature or is easily provoked, it is better to avoid gambling because this will have a very bad impact on one's life. In addition, it is very difficult to know the true nature of a person's personality in him. Seeing other people entangled in gambling and losing everything, in my opinion, can be used as a reference so that we don't do the same thing or be in the same position. However, most people are curious, addicted when they win, and curious when they lose. They always think that they can be one of the lucky people among other people and are too optimistic, but if we think more clearly this is just luck, meaning they will win if luck comes.
But unfortunately, even if a person knows his true nature when he has started gambling, he can be provoked and when that happens, he can become emotional and use more money. We will not know the true nature of someone's personality even if he is our close friend because if someone has gambled, everything will change and that person can be someone else without us recognising it. If we see someone else has lost even so many times, it reminds us that we must prevent ourselves from having the same experience as him. By trying to avoid it, we can become gamblers who enjoy gambling and overcome psychological problems that may arise later.

~snip~
Learning self-control to be able to gamble responsibly is quite easy by always getting used to enjoying gambling with very low betting amounts and using a small budget.
If you are used to this situation, of course your mind will avoid big wins because you are used to betting small amounts.
Besides that, we won't think about chasing victory after we get a win but will immediately stop because we think it's difficult to chase another victory. It's better for us to enjoy our victory than to keep trying to win where we can lose more money later. Learning self-control is really worth doing, especially if we are beginners at gambling, because later that can help us to be able to prevent gambling addiction.

I don't understand why someone would force their will to gamble on a platform that is strictly off limits to them. I mean a VPN is not the best option for anyone to bypass restrictions because it is one of those violations that can get you in trouble. Of course I would never do it even just to bet a small amount, the essence of the offense is a violation and casino users must comply with it.

There are many casinos that can be used without VPN as long as the country's government and the casino don't prohibit you from participating as a user. Even if this isn't about you, it's clear similar suggestions should be considered by other users.
I think they often use it because they want to get the bonuses offered by casinos, so they keep trying to use a VPN. But after playing for a while, the casino will still find out about it and might give penalties to players who abuse the bonus because they are from a banned country.

It's better not to try it than later get into trouble because the risk of closing the account can happen to us. And it is true that many crypto casinos still allow their users to play gambling there without the need to use a VPN. But if you want to hide where you're from and it's not against casino rules, you can use a VPN.

~snip~
I think the better option is to use the other casinos which are allowed in our region or allow the VPN. But again I am against the using of VPN because it can create problems. Because I was reading a thread in which the guy was saying some casinos change the ToS silently and don't say anything to the users. So if a casino is allowing VPN first but it can change the rules anytime so its better that we should not use VPN to safe ourself from future problem.
If it's about silent ToS changes, we can complain to the support so they can explain everything in more detail. But it's better not to use a VPN than to have problems with our account. Especially if using a VPN is prohibited in the regulations, we don't need to try it. Using another casino is a good suggestion, especially if we still want to use a VPN to play gambling, so it won't bother us or cause problems.

That's what people have done in investing in Bitcoin. They see that a decrease in the price of Bitcoin gives an opportunity for them to buy more at that low price. And after successfully buying bitcoins at low prices, they just need to be patient in holding their bitcoins. And even though there will be another drop later, it doesn't worry them either because it is another bonus for them to be able to buy more. And they also don't regret it if the price drops after they buy because they will place a buy order at another low price.

In the world of gambling once we put our bet, we are experiencing a happiness that we can forget our problem for a short period of time and that's a good thing if we gamble for fun. Because once we gamble for profit then we are aiming big amounts and that will lead us to loss cause we can not control ourselves and we put our bet spontaneously without good thinking and that's why it will leads us to loss.
If you aim for a large amount without recognizing the risks, you will probably be disappointed because it can give you big losses too, and you probably won't be able to have fun. It's better not to use a lot of money and only gamble with the money we can afford so we won't be disappointed if we lose. We must be able to be responsible gamblers to avoid big losses. Also, by being a responsible gambler, we can save some money that we might be able to use for gambling for the next few months or other things. We can get many advantages by being responsible gamblers, so we must continue to learn.
Sometimes it's so easy to say but it's hard to do it.
As we can see, how many people in this forum remind each other that they gamble responsibly, use money they can afford to lose, but in reality they still lose control when they lose consecutively in a few days and I have experienced that experience in several years. can control yourself to gamble responsibly but end up getting emotional when you lose and lose a lot of money on the same day.
For me an easy way to gamble responsibly is to avoid gambling for a few months or come to gambling once a month.
Yes, we still have to learn more about self-control because we often lose control when gambling. And there's no time to stop learning self-control because it's hard to do. But even though it's difficult, we still have to learn and try it because only that can prevent us from losing big. And even though many people have failed to control themselves, we must not give up and keep learning so we can gamble responsibly. After all, if we can do that, we will also benefit from that self-control to limit our gambling activities.
3271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you use a VPN on a casino, even if it is not allowed in their ToS? on: June 02, 2023, 04:16:41 PM
I think if they are not allowing you to use VPN so you should avoid to use VPN because if you will not follow their terms and conditions so they can ban your account or they will not allow you to use their services. So it will better you should not use the VPN. And if you want to use VPN so you can use the VPN at your own risk. And I will not use VPN if it is mentioned in terms and conditions.
We don't need to use a VPN if there is a ban from the casino because that can cause our account to experience problems such as blocking or even closing the account. We will feel sorry for breaking the rules and may ask for help from the support service to unblock it.

It's better not to endanger ourselves by gambling. After all, we still have a list of other casinos we can choose and use for gambling. And I don't think these casinos are too strict in applying the rules, so we can use a VPN to play gambling.
3272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think Casinos Should Do Survey From Time To Time To Assess You. on: June 02, 2023, 03:40:54 PM
It's very inconvenient for us to answer multiple questions, and we prefer to gamble with privacy. One of the reasons why I'm involved in cryptocurrency is because I enjoy gambling, and the anonymity it provides is something I appreciate. Therefore, it would be a new experience for me if there were surveys or mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements that could potentially disrupt the fun in gambling.

So, I'm not in favor of surveys or anything else that could compromise the privacy and enjoyment of gambling.
But KYC may become one of the requirements to play gambling at crypto casinos in the future because the attention from the government is so great. They put pressure on the crypto casinos that previously did not ask their users to do KYC, but now, with government interference, they can do nothing but follow suit.

The casino's surveys may be about how much satisfaction each user gets so that the casino can find out and fix if something is still not good. And perhaps, later, there will be a survey about KYC as well, so we have to be ready for that. And if we don't want to do KYC, we can look for other crypto casinos.

the interesting thing is that the day we won't be able to identify if a text was written by and AI or not, or if an image was generated by AI or not, is not so far away
exponential techonologies are awesome (and can be dangerous sometimes)

the future will be really interesting to watch and participate.
Maybe later, we will need a scanner to determine whether it is from AI or humans, and I'm sure it will be in the future. I don't know. It's still beyond what I can imagine.

The future will be very interesting, especially if we participate and use it. It will be like a challenge for us. So let's see what the future looks like, and hopefully, we can all keep up with it.

as the days go by, there will certainly always be technological improvements, and one of them, AI will always be developed with adoption to get very accurate results, even if only 90%. however, in this adoption we should not rely on predictions or anything that has been displayed by AI because everything is still inaccurate and still has 10% error even though it has been developed to be more accurate.
so it would be better if AI was only used as a second option to consider or strengthen our predictions for betting.
Yes, it is. The latest technology will always be released, and the presence of AI will really be able to help humans in various activities and not just for gambling. And gambling using AI in collecting data may become more accurate along with the development of technology for AI. And I agree that it's better for us to rely on ourselves to make decisions and not to leave those decisions to AI. Even though we can get more and more accurate data and AI can provide a winning percentage from one game, we still have to analyze it to find out why we make that bet.
3274  Economy / Gambling / Re: Is this considered a safe practice on: June 02, 2023, 02:54:15 PM
I have been a victim of card details theft before and I can remember the hustle i went through just to get the car.block.and ever since then, i have become sceptical about the use of card to.make either withdrawals or deposits online, and I have also heardothers experience the risk of uusing card n casinos.
When we become victims of card details theft, it will be difficult to block bank accounts because banks require many requirements to be fulfilled. But I don't think you are alone because others have also been victims of theft of card details. That's why we don't need to connect credit or debit cards to online sites to guard against frequent hacks or theft of credit and debit card data. It's better for you to use crypto and only use one special wallet to play gambling so that it won't interfere with your other assets in other wallets.
Cryptocurrency is saving us from the problems we were having when cryptocurrency was never in existence. Now there is reduce rate of card theft and frequent use of credit cards online because of the use of cryptocurrency. This had created a gap between the bank and how we make transactions online. It is very important for us to know how we make transactions online especially with the use of our credit cards to reduce how prone we could be losing access to the card die to unsolicited access by scammers and theft.
We are now in the era of cryptocurrency so we need to be guided and make use of the diverse use of cryptocurrency to buy goods online to avoid losing money.
That's right because by using crypto to play gambling, we can already play gambling without doing KYC even though, in the end, we can be asked to do KYC by the casino. But at least we can rest easy on gambling for a while, and if one day a casino asks us to do KYC and we don't want to do it, we can look for another casino that doesn't have KYC requirements. It has given an opportunity to gamblers, especially those who were confused at the time of Covid yesterday because they couldn't play in physical casinos, so they moved to use crypto casinos. It really helps them, but if not accompanied by good self-control, they can have a chance to get addicted to gambling.

No need to browse.

Just simple, you can't handle "deposit". That's one indication you are addicted, for example like you already winning and withdraw the money after that in the next 5-10/30 mins you are deposited again.

Deposit over and over again until your money is out, are indicated addicted.
True. Once you can’t discipline yourself and cannot even manage to control your finances, that simply shows addiction. Even if you win some significant amount, that will be useless since you won’t stop gambling unless all your money has been used up. So if you are already experiencing like that, stop gambling immediately. Otherwise, you may end up homeless if you resort into selling your properties just because you can’t control your urge in gambling.
If he cannot stop making deposits after withdrawing the money, that is indeed an indication of addiction, and that is when the gambling addiction has started. We often see this or even we have experienced it before. But supposedly, before he withdraws his money, he can think of leaving a few dollars in his balance so he doesn't have to deposit another few dollars to continue gambling.

If he keeps depositing after withdrawing his winnings, he can do it again when he loses, which means he can lose all the winnings he has withdrawn. That's not a great way to enjoy gambling but a proper way to become addicted to gambling and will eventually become addicted to gambling.

One thing is there are people who don't really realized that they are addicted into gambling until someone noticed it. There are people who thinks that they are just casually doing gambling but in reality it affects their life so much that they haven't really consider gambling as a problem. Hurting them or making them lower their pride is another factor, I believe that the advice you can give to an addicted gambler is depending on what characteristic he has. There are people who likes direct advices but there are people who can easily get hurt when they are receiving hard lessons. So yeah there are a lot of factors in giving advice and not hurting someone close to you.
Starting from the fad of gambling that will eventually make them addicted to gambling and after playing gambling for a long time, they become addicted to gambling. And it is true that people will not realize that they are already experiencing gambling addiction because they feel that nothing has changed about them even though something has changed them, namely gambling. That is why many people who are addicted to gambling do not want to listen to advice from other people where people who are addicted to gambling feel that they have not changed and are still gambling. Maybe if we find out that he has a gambling addiction, we can slowly approach him and try to get him to open up about his gambling problem so he can start telling us more about his gambling activities.

As gambling addiction can be a challenging issue that can have a very harmful impact on an individual's life. it is always recommended to find a professional helpb rather struggling with it. Do you agree with those behaviours? If not then you can suggest some, that can be added to this topic.

But the problem now is that gambling addicts often don't feel that they are already in a vicious circle of gambling. They thought that what they were doing was normal and thought that if one day they won they would pay for everything they sold, so he thought that people should just be normal with him. That's why it's quite difficult to treat these gambling addicts unless they want to change themselves.
A gambling addict will not realize that he has experienced a gambling addiction. All he thought about was gambling; somehow, they could have the money to continue gambling. Even if they win, they will go back to gambling again, and even if they lose, they still don't regret it and say they will win next time. And gambling addiction is a serious problem that must be cured even if it takes time, money, and more because it is for their own good. But to be able to cure people who are addicted to gambling, they must realize their mistakes so far, so they want to take steps to heal themselves from gambling addiction.

It looks like this is a faucet in the form of a game that allows people to get free satoshis. Maybe the developer can make it available for playing on computers or laptops and not just for mobile phones because some people prefer to play games on their computers or laptops. But unfortunately, there is no writing on which countries are included in their list, so we have to see it directly on the Google PlayStore. They should have posted it on their site so people could see it instead of visiting the PlayStore. Hopefully, there will be updates from the developers for all the games because I see a game like this that can attract the attention of gamers to try it. They can also get the free satoshi.
3279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Thought On Gambling Strategies on: June 01, 2023, 05:23:27 PM
As a player when you already see that you cannot win immediately, the best thing is to stop the losses, and the only way to stop the losses is not to play anymore, I don't know any other way, and even if our adrenaline demands us to continue playing we must do everything the possible to dominate with reason but not with emotion, I know that the aspect that we feel that things did not turn out as they should cause some frustration for the loss, but it is better that way than having a greater frustration of losing everything, I prefer to lose only a part and not all my capital, because that is much sadder. 
I wouldn't call it a strategy, but I use that method all the time, whenever you are playing on a slot machine, when you start spinning, after a few spins, you will come to know if the machine is going to pay off or not, and that is the moment when you need to take the decision and stop right there, you should take a break and come back later.

It worked a lot of times for me, but I don't guarantee it would work for everyone. For me, when I see luck is not on my side, I know it's useless to just keep wasting money and I should try again later with the same money and I may get something out of it.
Perhaps, it's not a strategy, but it's a way to avoid bigger losses, and by stopping playing gambling, we have tried not to experience more losses. Usually, when we play slot games, after playing a few rounds (usually 100x or more), we will see how much balance we still have, and from there, we can decide how much money we have lost.

So by stopping that, we prevent the next loss, which will reduce our balance. It's better to stop first and continue gambling another time because we might be luckier than today. And maybe that can also be said as a strategy for playing gambling to avoid big losses.
Yes, as long as we manage to cut losses, it is the most intelligent thing to do, especially in slots, because that is where the greatest danger of losing money is, it could be said that any game in casinos can make us lose money, that is something obvious, but keep in mind that now things are going another way, such as looking for quick wins, this is what makes many players leave or rush to win, in roulette it is also another option that in my personal opinion When I play roulette, well, if I'm looking to win, now a way that I've seen one of the greats like Drake play on Stake.com I think that motivates anyone, of course the amounts that Drake uses to play are stratospheric , I would like to be one day like him and his way of playing.

They should forget about looking for quick wins in gambling because that will be even more difficult than just wanting to win. We know that gambling games can give us quick defeats instead of winning games, but we're going to lose, but we just keep on playing. So whatever strategy we use, we must realize that we can still lose in gambling games, so we have to limit the amount of money. If not, we will regret it later because it will be difficult to recover from that loss, especially if we lose very much.

Don’t give advice if he is not asking for it also we are not a professional that can deal with this kind of psychological problem.


This is correct; we don't want to hurt people's egos by giving unsolicited advice. They already know that they are getting addicted to gambling. As a sign of respect, let them learn from their mistakes. Eventually, as they continue to lose and understand the damage they have done to their finances, they might seek help from people who also understand them. It's always right to wait and not judge them right away.
Unless they ask us for advice and at the same time ask for our help to cure their gambling addiction, then we will help them. But this is very rare for people who are addicted to gambling because they will hide it from others. Maybe if we see them losing head-on, we can give advice, but we give it jokingly so they don't take it personally and accept our advice. Maybe the best thing is to accompany them when they play so that we can ask them to stop if the situation doesn't allow them to play gambling anymore.
