Same here, I also prefer playing in an online casino with the same reason.  In addition, it is troublesome to travel more than an hour just to play in a local casino establishment.  Worst, it is very frustrating if we are caught in a traffic jam along the way which can eat up to two to three hours depending on the severity of the traffic jam.  Aside from that playing online can save us from experiencing heavy rains and floods while on the road during the rainy season.

I do not go to casinos to have a social life so it does not matter to me if I am playing alone and playing online casino just fit my purpose perfectly.  Away from delay and tiring movement from one place to another place just to experience different kinds of gambling games.  With online casino, everything will be settled with just a click of a mouse.

Online casino are better and easier to access especially when you have lot of activities going on, or when you have a tight schedule. But you'll actually get all of the fun you need in physical casino, as you also have the opportunity to interact with others and share your experiences. But for those who love keeping their gambling habit anonymous, online casino are the best option for that. But considering addiction, one can easily get addicted playing online casino since there is no one monitoring your gambling, but when playing in a physical public casino you could get inspired by friends to quite gambling and walk home without losing too much. However they both have their merits and demerit and are important in gambling .

Mbappe is a great player and I'm sure Carlo Ancelotti is delighted to have him now. His rotation is quite wide right now. Considering that Arda Güler plays great in the wing position, they have a lot of options and a young average age. We can say that Ancelotti has established the squad for the next 5 years.

With the way Real Madrid signs players, you will know that they’ve created a formidable squad that will last them for many years to come. They look for young talents then groom and integrate them into the system that will take them years before scouting for new young players. They will be assured of a long lasting season before they even begin to search for another, so staying without formidable squad is what I don’t think has happened to Real Madrid for ages now. Ancelotti knows how to put this players together better, so I feel he will be a good manager for Mbappe also and will bring out the best in him while playing with his other teammates.

That's the reason I love Carlo Ancelotti coaching and management. The fact that he chases after young potential player show that he is right on track with wisdom as a coach. While other coaches look for star players who have advanced in age and wouldn't last for long before they start thinking of retirement, Ancelotti is building for himself a team which would stay together for seasons and grow together as they gain more football experience. Real Madrid is obviously cooking for next season and they aren't there to play or mess around, I still see them as the favourite team to win the up coming Champions league cup.
43  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Bullish period and advantage. on: June 20, 2024, 02:57:28 PM
Some investors are generally interested in buying more BTC at DIP prices and tend to sell during bullish times. But holding is more important because it will happen again and again when ATH is observed in the market with gap of few months. A bullish period is characterized by overall market optimism and expectations of higher performance for the future. Even offers higher returns than bearish ones. A bull market usually reflects the utmost confidence of investors that a person can align their investments in this positive trend. Increasing market value makes investors optimistic about the positive loop. These positive market conditions may prevent investors from being psychologically tempted to sell BTC. It can even discourage selling during market downturns. Many investment firms can build potential wealth by investing more during periods of BTC price appreciation.

The risk in trading is higher than that of holding and so as the profit if managed by an experienced trader. But there are times were even the market charts form a new trend entirely different from that of your vocabulary, whales can also make a turn in the market by buying or selling in large quantity. However in times like this the trader usually runs into loss if he made his prediction from his perspective. But if you're a long term holding, you have nothing to worry about because bulls, and dip would come but we'll be having more of the bull, as the demand increases, so would the price also increase.
44  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double your money and quite on: June 20, 2024, 02:23:12 PM
It is not simply a matter of reducing the money we bring in, it affects the amount of money in other wallets that we are holding in reserve, the general view and wish is to double or even triple the initial capital amount but the actual result is that the initial amount evaporates and the losses start to multiply many times over, sadly there is not much chance to stop. Even I have had periods of impatience and lack of stopping like that, there have been wins to balance previous losses but there are always random ideas with double opportunities that appear later and the response is always a harsh refusal

We've all had our ups and downs in gambling, but what matters most is your ability to learn from your experience. Had it been I chose to stay adamant to the experience I had and think gambling was another source of making profit I would have gone broke and addicted, but after a while of irresponsible gambling I took time to think and realise that I was being played by gamble. Ever since then my stakes and gambling time have reduced drastically and I'm proud for taking time to think things through. Today I see gambling more of the fun than a source of making profits. One thing I've learnt through out the years is, to be contented with what you have, greed is the easiest way to get addicted. After setting a target of doubling your money and walk away we also get tempted to try again and often time it doesn't end well.
45  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The real winning of gambling is withdrawals on: June 20, 2024, 02:12:04 PM
See those guys who hit big and think they're invincible? Insane. They're high and sure they'll break the bank, but the house always wins. Typical delusion and arrogance. Man, that casino isn't friendly. It's built on losing. Your opponent is your basic self, not a quantitative calculation. The house is betting on your dopamine surge and incapacity to quit while ahead. The whole thing is absurd. We're performers in our own hope and greed stories on the casino stage. The true power move is cashing out and leaving. Don't seek elusive wins; enjoy them. The difference between a gambler and a wise motherfucker

It's quite unfortunate that some persons think that making money from gamble is really easy. Though I understand that they got the idea from somewhere and it's likely from a friend who might have been lucky for a while or hit the jackpot, such thought can also be planted on their mind by social media influencers who always exaggerates things making it look really easy to cash out from casino but until you have a hands on experience with the casino before you'll understand that the house was ment to win all along. And withdrawing your money from casino doesn't guarantee that you have totally won, I've seen cases where gamblers still go back to make deposit and exhaust all the profit they won. It easy to make deposit back into the casino, because you'll be played by your mind telling you the process was really easy and you can make more. This thought is a general phenomenon, and your ability to resist it show that you are a discipline gambler.

47  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: June 20, 2024, 06:35:30 AM
Even how hard gambler will try the configuration and settings of a casino is to make money, it will just a repeated mistake if you keep trying to chase your loss and adds up more money to play, it's best to set that limitation and follow whatever settings you set up as your strategy, if you manage to execute that system and not to exceed on it, the chance of enjoying and breaking that continually mistake over might be change and maybe it will favor you on both financial and mental aspects.

Chasing after loss is a big mistake most gamblers make, and it's the easiest way to get addicted. Once a gambler start chasing after loses, he definitely not get satisfied with the result he is having, even if he is on the wining side, on that round of gambling. Many persons thinks luck last forever and that among the basic thoughts that fuels addiction, because they got lucky to have won some few bets and increase their profit, they feel today is their lucky day, and then continues gambling. One thing we must know as gamblers is that, lucks don't always come and when you paraventure get lucky never try to maximise that chance, because the results aren't always good.
48  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Where and how to buy bitcoin in 2024. on: June 19, 2024, 04:06:26 PM
Bitcoin is becoming popular in Nigeria and there are many people who are interested to invest in it, but the question they do not know is how to invest or where to invest. The answer is becoming difficult to give them because of how our governments is, and scammers knowing this can take advantage of these people.
We are not so bortherd because because some of us receive stipends from a signature campaigns we often do not bother ourselves we how to get bitcoins for DCA. But with the difficulty with using banks for crypto trading with exchanges, where and how can someone buy bitcoins or other coins?

Op Bitcoin already dey very popular for Nigeria just that most persons never still get complete insight of Wattin e be. Normally we dey hear people dey make use of the sentence "you be block chain" and that Na because dem know say the worth of 1 Bitcoin dey massive so them use am take refer to person wey hold em side. However as our government dey behave adamant to the importance of crypto come dey implement this restriction and try their best to end p2p trade, I advise make any public teaching about crypto hold first, anybody wey wan learn fit learn inside house or make use of the inter to conduct em personal research, after all Bitcoin no hard to work with. Learning the basics sef alone go fit help plenty person avoid all this scams because when you keep you seed phrase safe, you no get anything to fear again.

Amongst all the coin wey dey this life, Na Bitcoin be the most reputable one and e no get second, because the rest coin are all called alts, and the gap wey Bitcoin give dem, no be here oo. And I go advice say make you start with bitcoin before you think of other coins, because Bitcoin go give you the basic idea of how all these things dey work while e still dey less risky compare to other coins.
50  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling winnings should NOT be taxed on: June 19, 2024, 02:50:03 PM
Simple answer; Because you gain money.

Government charge taxes for every profit which the citizens earned or gain regardless of the source. It’s called capital gain tax which simply growing your capital. In some country like 3rd world country the implementation of this tax law is not absolute since it requires a thorough tax audit in able to monitor all citizens.

But this is possible and happening country like US. You are using all the services by the government which is paid by taxes. Even the road, police and other public services is run by the tax so they have the right to charge a tax on your gain whether you like it or not since they need it to run the country.

Yeah I understand the whole concept  of taxation and how they need this to regenerate capital for the economy, but paying taxes off gambling seems to sound a bit off to me considering the risk attached to wining a bet. Too much taxes definitely increases the cost of living and how about those who aren't able to meet up family needs after paying up all those taxes from their fixed earned salary? Majority  of them are just left with no choice but to migrate elsewhere where they can actually survive without necessarily paying taxes for anything they do or use.
51  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling winnings should NOT be taxed on: June 19, 2024, 02:30:42 PM
In my country (Australia) ALL gambling winnings and profits are 100% tax free.

You don't have to declare it because it is considered a hobby.

In the USA and other countries gambling winnings are treated the same as income and gambling companies are required by law to withhold federal income taxes.

If I had to pay taxes I would quit gambling. The risk wouldn't be worth it.

Does your country tax gambling winnings and if so do you declare it yourself or does the gambling operator withhold the taxes on your behalf?

Same here, where I'm from, we own the full possession of our gambling wins. I don't see any reason why taxes has to be implemented on gambling in the first place. It certain we are responsible for the wins and loses we experience in gambling so why should gambler pay task of their gambling wins, knowing fully well by the government that gambling is risky and the winning possibility is very low, as the house is always on the winning side. I can't help but think most of these government officials are just being wicked and mean to humanity. Though some person are already used to paying tax from almost all that they do, and it's no big deal for them in paying taxes from their gambling.
52  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: June 19, 2024, 02:17:02 PM
Not easy to apply indeed, there are times where you think that you already have that control but eventually you lose your patiene or because of adrenaline inside you, you feel that you need more and at times, you'll overexceed with your limits, though some may able to stop and go back with the original set up but most of them who already been controlled by greed they will keep pushing forward and will forget about the strategy that they've created, and then again, they will regret not to stay with the plan as most of the outcome turned against you.

Humans weren't born to be losers, starting from the formation of foetus in the womb, they struggled to get there and being born shows that the child indeed fought dearly to survive and won. However I believe the configuration of not wanting to be a loser is already planted in us and that why gamblers wouldn't want to loss against the casino and that why they keep coming back to make sure they are on the winning side. However not every gambler see it this way, few have been able to understand the consequences of trying to get back at the casino for their loss and it usually don't end well for them. So the best way is to dis-configure your brain from thinking that the casino owes you, and that the only way to escape addiction.

First impression


The first page contains a briefing about the casino, which is actually nice as it uncovers the mystery of expected outcome to a new bettor registering for the first time. The idea of giving a 25 VIP spin is attractive, but it would have been better if the minimum deposit in meriting the VIP spins were lowered a bit to $25 for easy participation as most gamblers would want to test run the casino with small deposit before they fully ventures in.

Talking about the interface, it looks really easy to navigate through. Having the buttons placed at the bottom of the casino makes it easy and self explanatory to all new users trying the website for the first time. The navigation response time is quite impressive compare to some casinos I have had experience with.

Accepted Cryptocurrency

I was Marveled to see my first 6 preferred deposit choice listed in the accepted cryptocurrency which happens to be among the most popular cryptocurrency in the world. 12 popular coins for deposit makes a lot of sense as bettors could easily pick their preferred choice to make deposit. But it would have stood a better chance if:
BTC wallet was a segregated witness wallet address to enable a faster confirmation time for time.

Deposit/withdrawal

Making my deposit was really easy and stress free, and it was faster than I expected, my deposit arrive within the time space of 3 minutes. After making my deposit I tried playing my best crash games and after a few wins and loss I decided to check the withdrawal options, but I wasn't able to make withdrawal as all deposit has been exhausted.

Referral system(earn)


I think the referral program is a nice feature. Earning 25% commission from referred deposit will definitely attract more bettors into using this casino as they'll have the opportunity to earn while gambling.

Conclusion
Thumbs up to the team, the website works fine and I had a great experience using it, the simplicity in gambling is top notch, I bet no user would ever complain of directions in accessing any option. I like the fact that user privacy is respected and kept anonymous. In my own opinion, adding extra features would make the casino more flexible  to use, features such as :
Coin swap: this would enable user to easily swap from one coin to their  preferred choice to gamble with or withdraw.
Adding extra languages: languages which are not under the restricted zones in accessing online casino should be added so more interested gamblers can access the website.

A big job well done to playgram development team for putting this great website up.
58  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think casinos can stop demanding KYC? on: June 18, 2024, 08:10:20 PM
It is highly unlikely that various casinos will stop claiming KYC procedures. Because regulatory requirements aimed at preventing money laundering, fraud and other financial crimes are unlikely to stop it. Casinos are required to verify the identity of their patrons and ensure compliance with the law. So that it can provide complete protection against illegal activities. All of these issues are troublesome for the customer but are an essential part of the casino industry to maintain security.

It quite unfortunate that Casinos only ask if the user registering the account is up to 18 without them working on further verification process, and children below 18 can simply register without the casino even knowing. Though even some adult would prefer not to go through the process of providing a means of verification to prove that they are actually up to 18, and I believe this is among the reason why casino decided to start showing less concern for the verification process. The KYC process is really important to the casino and also and also to the society as it would also reduce the number of persons creating multiple accounts for abuse.
59  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did gambling losses are traps to new game on: June 18, 2024, 04:57:26 PM
Quote
This is true when you don't gamble in moderation, you fall into the recovery pressure trap, just like your friend. I really think you guys should talk or motivate this guy into quitting gambling for now before things gets out of hands.

It seems he's also unemployed, which makes him see gambling as an earning opportunity and this is the architect of his problems.

When a gambler loses excessively while gambling and continues to lose his money, he must stop. It is even more important to stop gambling, as when a player loses a bet and gambles again to make up his money, he is sure to fall into a bigger trap. When a gambler cannot control himself, he will always lose his money so that person should be stopped from gambling.
It is most wrong for a gambler to consider gambling as a source of income, so one should exercise self-control and play responsibly while gambling.

It is essential that every gambler know when to stop especially when they are becoming addicted by either increasing their bets or continue gambling even while they are experiencing loss all the time. After experiencing loss for a while I recommend that you give a break and that break should be use to rethink and then restructure your mindset so that you won't run into addiction by acting greedy. Learning to control ones emotion is very important as gamblers because if you don't know how to, you'll definitely get addicted in no time, and that was why the minimum required age for gambling is 18 because people above 17 are know to have become responsible for their actions and their brains should have been mature to think responsibly.
