Since probably the least of us even take a look at the T&Cs - me neither - I can recommend sites like BTCGosu.com. There gambling sites are analyzed in detail and even compared and also tested and reported on things like welcome bonus or deposit bonus. For BTCGosu users there are always special promotions such as welcome packages, where you can immediately withdraw the credited BTC if you like to.

BTCGosu.com also regularly reports about scam accusations against casinos and warns about irregularities in a blog.

By the way, the site is run by a very well-known forum member here: efialtis.

Hm you are right, "lost" is a bit misleading, "stolen" would be the correct term. But yes, your explanation is exactly in the right direction, that in case of a Roobet hack e.g. also KYC data could be stolen.
However, as I said in one of my previous posts, I don't assume that Roobet stores the data itself at all. To be allowed to store such data, at least here in the EU, very strict requirements would have to be met regarding system and data security.

Unfortunately, this sounds much easier than it actually is ... just sell high and buy cheap again, but unfortunately it is not like that. "Timing the market" is extremely difficult, especially in the crypto sector, not least because of the very high volatility and the fact that individual news can trigger a price fireworks or a price crash.

For me, it has proven best to slowly start selling in a highly oversaturated market and to slowly start buying again in such phases as now, where there is a very high level of uncertainty - always with the thought in mind that it can still go down much further.

Cardano hält sich generell sehr stark in dieser Abwärtsphase jetzt und steht auch im 30/60-Tageschart vergleichsweise sehr gut da. Vor allem gegenüber Bitcoin ist der ADA-Kurs massiv gestiegen:

Über die Hintergründe kann man natürlich nur spekulieren. Auf Reddit wird hier immer wieder ins Feld geführt, dass Cardano ja mit einigen Fortune500-Firmen kooperiert und sich so jede Menge institutionelles Geld holt, das jetzt den Kurs stabilisiert. Wäre schön, wenns tatsächlich so ist ...

Über die Fortune500 hat Charles auch in seinem aktuellen Video gesprochen: Thoughts on the Market and the Ecosystem

Cardano 360 in der Kurzzusammenfassung

Wer von euch letzten Donnerstag nicht die Zeit/Lust hatte sich die Cardano 360-Veranstaltung anzusehen - ich kam leider auch nicht dazu - hat hier mit einem sehr kurzen Video die Möglichkeit, das Versäumte nachzuholen:

Cardano360 Mini - May 2021 Edition

Neben dem Rollout-Plan von Alonzo, also den Smart Contracts, wurden auch Details zu Plutus und dem ERC20-Converter vorgestellt. Hier kurz der Alonzo-Rolloutplan:



Wir können also mit Ende August/Anfang September mit dem Mainnet rechnen. Durch die Phasen davor haben jedoch Firmen bereits jetzt die Chance, ihre Smart Contratcs auf Cardano zu entwickeln!

I am not worried at all about Roobet, that data could get lost here. As you can see from the Ledger example, that can happen to very large companies as well. Neither exchanges nor companies like Facebook or large banks/insurance companies are immune to leaks or hacks.

Coinbureau, one of the best Youtubers in my opinion, published a very good video on price manipulation in the crypto market just yesterday:

https://youtu.be/ltcnTTeDFjY

In it, he also gives tips on how to recognize the manipulations and counteract them or use them to your advantage. Can only recommend the video!

A friend of mine is part of such a group, so I have some insight into what goes on. They train at least 3 times a week, there are also professional teams that are invited to fights by the organizers and earn money. The fights themselves are highly professional and run very coordinated, comparable to 5 on 5 fights in CS.

What you see on the screenshots above are mass battles that are purely for the entertainment of the audience. The "real" fights take place in very small teams (3 vs. 3, 5 vs. 5), where it is also quite easy to keep track.

So it is definitely a very interesting sport that offers a lot of potential for exciting bets. Here you can see a 1 vs 1 with axes, it's really getting down to business:

I see it the same way and "back then", when I started with Tradingbots, it was the same for me. I wanted to earn quick money with it and I didn't care in principle how the bots worked. But since I didn't want to spend any money, I had to deal with the open source bot Gecko and "feed" it manually with strategies. So you learn a lot about indicators and in which situations they are helpful - and in which not.

That would be now also my tip @OP, Gecko has a very large and extensive community, which constantly expands this with many trading strategies. I would be surprised if your desired trading behavior would not already exist for Gecko!

https://gekko.wizb.it/

Gecko itself isn't maintained anymore but the community is still very active, there are already some very good forks on Github eg.

The intentional sale of KYC data is, in my opinion, very rarely the case (apart from the countless ICOs in 2017, of course, that demanded already scanned passports for a handful of coins - and made oodles of money doing so, of course).

Hacks or leaks by company employees are much more of a problem here. A site that collects validated KYC data from its customers is automatically a very lucrative target, and the smallest mistakes can lead to data being siphoned off, as we saw with Ledger last year, for example. However, I assume that Roobet does not store the data itself but uses a KYC service here. In Europe, companies that store such data must comply with very strict guidelines, which is rather only possible for very large companies with thousands of employees (banks, insurance companies, ...) without too high costs. I guess that similar requirements apply in other countries as well.

I'm not quite sure if I'm understanding this correctly now ... you mean the success of a platform depends on how many promotions and actions they can run here in the forum, among other things, and that high bankrolls are crucial for this?

If so ... I don't see it quite that way. There are enough casinos that constantly organize promos where there are only very small prize amounts (e.g. $100 divided among the first 3 places), yet these sites are very successful. So it is certainly not solely due to marketing whether a platform will be successful or not. Good platforms with very good games, for example, get around relatively quickly. So if you initially reach a certain customer base through, for example, increased advertising volume (as here in the forum) then I think ongoing promos are no longer the success factor of a platform.

I have been dealing a lot with forecast websites, professional traders and signal groups in the bull market 2017.
Signal groups in particular are of course an absolute scam, which should have become common knowledge by now.

Forecast websites often provide very good analyses of why they think prices are rising (or not), but the most you can derive from them is trends. These are definitely not suitable for quick trades. But I'm only talking about big websites that usually give tips only against payment.

With professional traders you can see quite quickly whether they actually provide useful tips or not. From 2017, Brian Beamish and Tone Vays are left in my endlessly long list, they actually managed to announce more than 50% correct trades for me. However, it must be said here: these are not watertight tips and even these professional traders are wrong in 49 out of 100 cases.

First sorry for abbreviating your sentence in the quote, but without punctuation it was quite hard to narrow down to the appropriate place

I would even go so far as to say that for many (crypto) online casinos, the forum here is the best way to promote the site. There are simply a lot of people meeting here who are both interested in crypto (and in most cases own some) and like to use online gambling platforms. I think the way the sites are advertised even plays a subordinate role, the target group is definitely hit very well here.

That's right, you could have even ended your sentence after "Gamblers burn their money". When you use 100x leverage you have to be aware that in 50% of the cases your stack is gone immediately. You might as well go to the casino and bet on black or red (ok, not quite).

The problem with such high leverage is simply that the bitcoin market turns way too fast. Even small recovery phases in a bear market can liquidate you very quickly, such as last week, when after the massive dump a few hours later a short recovery phase set in. Leverages originally come from trading with currency rates, which due to the very small fluctuations (0.001% per hour, for example) trading was only possible/meaningful with very high stacks. This is of course a completely different case with cryptos with fluctuations of xx% per day.

There is actually no such thing as "cut losses". A "loss" only takes place when you sell, before that it's all just book money that has been lost (but of course also gained). Only when you actually realize the loss, you talk about a loss.

Getting into the predicament of having to sell at a high loss only happens when you have either invested far too much money in the market or suddenly need the money urgently, for both of which crypto is unfortunately, as you rightly say, the wrong investment path.

Cardano 360 morgen Abend

Morgen Abend findet das nächste Cardano 360 Event statt. Charles hat den Inhalt ja schon etwas geteasered, unter anderem werden folgende Punkte ein Thema sein:

• ERC20-Converter - Aktueller Status und Veröffentlichungsdatum
• Hydra (Scaling-Lösung) und Mithral (zk-SNARKs) werden diskutiert
• Die Alonzo-Roadmap wird detailliert
• Es werden Partner Zeit bekommen darüber zu sprechen, wie es ihnen mit der Entwicklung ihrer Smart Contracts auf Cardano geht, da ist sicher auch wieder SingularityNET dabei, welches ja von ETH Richtung Cardano wechselt

Das Ganze dauert normalerweise rund 3 Stunden und startet morgen um 16:30 UTC/12:30 EDT.

In einem Bullenmarkt sicher toll, wenn man statt 500€ für die Wohnung ein Monat später nur mehr 100€ bezahlt (hat) ... in einem Bärenmarkt stell ich mir das nicht so toll vor ... 

Funktioniert bei mir leider auch nicht, bekomme dieselbe Fehlermeldung obwohl ich aktuell nicht in einem VPN hänge. Dürfte wohl tatsächlich Probleme geben beim Claim, ich probiers sonst heute Abend einfach nochmal.

Aber ja, 2,5 Millionen wäre schon richtig heftig für einen Airdrop. Wobei es ja so aussieht, als ob man tatsächlich nur eine Adresse benötigt. Der Airdrop lässt sich so mit unzähligen Bots relativ einfach abgreifen ...

To put it simply, a plain address mapping can be used to find out, for example, which transactions were carried out from an exchange or, as in this case, from a gambling platform. The fact that many gambling platforms always use the same blockchain address for payouts is used here; this address can be blacklisted and deposits from this address (or several, if the gambling site uses several) can be blocked.

That's not quite true, no. AML does not make more precise definitions of how "dangerous" certain sources of money are, but still explicitly highlights that online gambling can also be used to launder money. Therefore, apart from AML, there are already some measures in place to limit money laundering as much as possible:


Of course, an exchange could now invoke this and block deposits from gambling sites. But why an exchange should prevent withdrawals to a gambling site is beyond me.

I think it is not only about greed but also about lack of experience. I could observe this last week with one of my friends:

Bitcoin dropped 5%, dropped 10%, dropped 20% and my friend gets more and more nervous and makes self-accusations like "I should have sold right away, I'm so stupid". Bitcoin then dropped another 5% and he presses the "sell" button in panic, of course at the absolute bottom and the price turns back up shortly after. What does my friend do? In panic get back in, because Bitcoin could now rise again to 100k ...

I don't know how many dollars he lost that day, but in my opinion it shows quite nicely what can drive inexperienced investors to "buy high, sell low".
