They would if they can't tax it. That's it.

All those pseudo-righteous governments banning gambling for the sake of "saving society" from problematic gamblers aren't really saving the society from anything. They are just trying to make it look like that so the public supports them from their advocacy. If they can find a way to impose  taxes on these platforms, then they would allow it. Easy as that.

I understand the Islamic states. It's part of their religion and beliefs. But other countries? 

Some of these streamers are partnered with the casino that they are playing on to rake in new players. That is how they advertise their platform nowadays: showing people that it's possible to win big on these casinos and that they are very capable of doing the same. I've noticed that these streamers are hyping up their rather common gambling session and that they continuously point out the pros of the platform, without even mentioning the negatives on the place that they are playing on.

Thunder is pretty much on a higher tier than Beastcoast recently, although bc is still a great game dominator from the SA region. It's just that most of the time they fall off mid-game and they can't take a good grasp of their lead resulting into downfall. :/

As for the Chinese qualifiers, pretty sure it will be Aster that will get that spot considering that most of the teams in their bracket are div 2/div 3 teams with not enough experience fighting against tier 1/2 teams.

And why would a gambling site ask for medical information? That can certainly violate a lot of health privacy laws and regulations imposed from all over the world. The highest KYC I ever encountered is the physical address of the person and that's just it. KYC2 bonuses on stake is quite good although I don't think I'll be ready for that kind of commitment to my sports betting habits.

I would say that it's not a scam like most people think it is, but the chances of it taking off again is extremely low. People already saw how this coin moved, and for sure they already have made some kind of impression to it as something that they would not invest on again. It already had its time, and perhaps some loyal followers would still buy into this thing, but sooner or later this will also lose traction and then die afterwards.

How does you doing everything on our behalf manually impose mutual safety exactly? There is nothing mutual about the agent having all the information of the end user, and the end user just feeding money to the account and playing on it. The agent and the platform benefits from all of this, never the end user because they don't have any say on what's going to happen on the account. For all we know, the agent can just get the deposit of the player and not deposit it manually if the amount is so big. Every single thing about this 'agent system' in today's world is just screaming red flags all over the place for me.

Ahhh, just no. The email address handle looks like it was created by a teen that thinks he's some kind of an evil incarnate of a mad computer scientist. For newbies like you, always remember that once bitcoins were transferred to another address you don't control, there is no way in hell that you can get them back. Consider it lost and just move on with your life. If coins were transferred to an exchange and the hacker is dumb enough to leave trails which will eventually be tracked, you still can't recover your coins but you can direct the law enforcement to help you with your case.

Ahh it's similar to those casinos that my friend is recommending me a few days back. You'll have to get in touch with an agent to have your account created, and then this agent will process all your deposits and withdrawals. Honestly I have no problem with that if that system is working for them, but there is already a possible point of failure and that is the agent itself. Not saying that not everyone can be trusted, but it's better to have yourself create your account so that you're sure that in the event of a hack, you have no one to blame but the platform or yourself.

Well there is a difference when you're from a location where geo-blocking isn't imposed and you use VPN just to mask your true location for privacy purposes. On the support staff's statement, there isn't anything that explicitly states that VPN usage is prohibited. They just mentioned that if VPN is used in gaming the system, or in the support's words, intent to circumvent geo-blocking or jurisdiction restrictions, they are going to take some actions because it violates their terms.

That's why we have odds on sports betting. If it's pure luck then there should have been no odds on each team at all, just flat out 50/50 for them since it's each match is a game of chance. Compared to casino games, sports betting gives people a lot more 'control' on how would they approach their wins. They are given options to choose on where to place their bet, thus in the end they can win pretty easily as opposed to luck-based games out there (dice, slots, roulette).

But at the end of the day, even if sports betting is generally better and easier to make some bank on, it's still gambling. It can still produce problematic gamblers in the long run if these guys do not control how they are going to play the game.

I'm rooting for Outsiders to at least secure a better position for this particular tournament. Gpk showed us that he still got it, although there are times that his mid lane's lack of rotations around the map can hinder him from being enabled. He's not a typical lane dominator, nor is he an aggressive carry that can work hand in hand with his support to farm for kills, but his ability to find farm even though the map is already closed in against his team is what's really impressive for me. Well, DM is great in creating space, there's that, but still.


Team Secret isn't also complete on their lineup. They have Resolution as a stand-in but they still did well, even going so far as being undefeated for a time being before they slipped away from that footing.


I beg to differ. Tundra's style of play does not match the aggression of PSG.LGD in mid game. As for Liquid, they do have a funky way of handling mid game to enable their cores before they make moves, while PSG.LGD is just constantly throwing them anything that they have to make them respond to those. The team who doesn't respond to the aggression of PSG.LGD wins the game, that's what I noticed.

Outbreaks do not wait for anyone, so I don't think that giving casinos the leeway of waiting for a few months to get ready would help either sides anyway. More and more people would just contract the virus and more and more funds will be spent to healthcare, which may force the government to order lockdowns that are even longer compared to when they ordered everything a little earlier. That will hurt their profits even more IMO, and business owners don't usually like that.

Most of the time it's just luck. No need for in-depth explanation. If the jackpot falls unto you then it's your lucky day. If not, then that's different. Feng shui and other beliefs exist to strengthen or condition the human mind to be positive, but it does not, in any way, affect reality whatsoever. It's okay to believe them but not to the point that you'll be basing everything on what a thousand-year old belief system says.

For me, I feel as if there's really not much Satoshi needs to do after they were able to source out brilliant minds from all over the world working together on this project. They saw that bitcoin is already taking off and being noticed by a lot of people, and before someone from the community unveils Satoshi's real identity, they have to jump ship and abandon their responsibility on the project. Moreover, since bitcoin's ideology is centered on not having a central authority, it's just common sense that Satoshi leaves, as for sure they will be reinstated as the de facto figurehead of bitcoin even if it's not really the case.

Well, there are a handful of physical casinos that I'm playing on during the weekends which are obviously not on this forum. Some other online casinos that focuses on slots that use fiat for deposit, too. Those do not qualify as they are only small-time casinos that are unregulated but man, the amount of people that they can rake in at a given time is still impressive.

As a rule of thumb though, if I see a crypto casino that is not advertising its business in bitcointalk, I tend to avoid them at all costs. There is a reason why they do not choose this forum as a platform to announce that their business is existing. I might be wrong in so many levels but that's just based on my experience in the years that I've been gambling with crypto.

There were casinos that intentionally mentioned the use of privacy coins at their launch, and even that didn't secure them the player base that you are mentioning because people are focused more on established casinos that already has a name on the industry. People are fine using the traditional cryptocurrencies as is even without the added layer of protection, so long as there are no KYC involved in the platform itself. Ever wonder why there are no successful privacy-centric casinos that mainly focuses on privacy coins? Because they tend to forget that gamblers go to the platform to play and not to be "extra safe" that they neglect improving what they offer and focused on security and privacy instead.

Sportsbet holds this risk-free bet during huge major tournaments, though I'm not completely sure what are the terms for that one. Most bookies right now do not have this promotion all throughout their existence since there is a chance that this system can be gamed by players cunning enough to bypass all the security and protective measures in place.

If you're looking for a promotion-rich platform, Sportsbet and Stake is the place to go, with the former having lots of promotions all throughout the year.

These wins are indeed one in a million (no pun intended), and for sure it took a lot of bets before they finally hit the jackpot. Just look at how many bets seonincorporation took before he hit those jackpots in his last few threads. Most of these guys surely would have spent a ton before they made those bank, and for sure it will be the same for us too. I believe that these jackpots have its own 'trigger' after x bets, hence why these lucky people got it with just a small amount of bet at the time that the jackpot landed on them. Also, maybe these jackpots are handed out after a certain time to establish that the casino is 'all fair and square' after raking huge sums from those machines itself.

Ancajas' team is quite lacking in terms of the tools and equipment to give him proper training. Hopefully someone will take him under their wing to provide him with the necessary training and equipment for him to get the best out of his skills and his technical abilities. Most of the boxers here in the Philippines have the chance to be the next Manny Pacquiao only if they got the proper training that they needed to level up their game. Then again, it depends on the will and determination of the fighter in the end. The last loss of Ancajas isn't really pleasing given that he lost to an underdog. Hopefully he bounces back and proves himself to the world stage again.

Thanks for all the weeks that I've been part of blackjack.fun's signature campaign. I wish the team more success in the future.
