Here are the archives for the Terms and Conditions if anyone is curious.

I outlined the very noticeable differences in this post, so I won't do the same thing again.
Current ToS
Previous ToS, snapshotted on December 20th of an October 29 update
Don't invoke Terms and Conditions that people have not agreed to and don't change them without having people agree to them. That kind of behavior is unacceptable.

The cultier we are, the more demand and therefore wealth we generate. Easy: just join the Bitcoin ponzi, duh. Wink
I have done something similar within last month but I try not to sell when others are doing the same: more market saturation.

It gets real interesting here. I was still logged in and two minutes after this bet I have noticed that there's another bet on the same outcome but with 61 mBTC stake. That was impossible since I had a withdrawal pending I did not place that bet. I contacted support (someone was online) and they explained to me that they declined my withdrawal because I didn't put in the same address as I did during previous withdrawals. Well, that is not true, because I requested the withdrawal to the SAME ADDRESS as I did previously.
The address WAS THE SAME. You can see it here
https://imgur.com/IVDbIAK
Specifically, do you have these support messages in writing? There's no reason to decline the withdrawal in this case and it brings doubt to the forefront of AdkinsBet's claim.
By the way... the number of scam accusations don't matter, guys: it's what you discover within the content.

So you equally saying all the accusations topics about Adkinsbet created in this boards are all lies and screenshots are incorrect?
If I make twenty scam accusations about a site with Newbie accounts, that shouldn't sway your opinion unless the evidence provided was substantial enough. The previous threads, however, do exhibit a lot of AdkinsBet's problems.

What is your rank? I'm now going platinum where the exclusive bonus is getting daily reloads. Weekly as well as monthly bonuses are currently in good stake in the program.Weekly Boat. Monthly. And Reload / Day
As far as I know, the difference between the timeframes is pretty significant in terms of overall reward, though obviously it's significantly more work.

According to their VIP section, you have the following format for the reload:

Reloads can be claimed either daily, every hour (1/10 daily amount) or every 10 minutes (1/40 daily amount). Choose what suits you best & in the currency of your choice!

I haven't checked but that implies that you could probably change it to the timeframe you're comfortable with. One problem with the longer duration between reloads is that it reduces your overall rewards: for daily reloads, you effectively always lose out on the 7th day; for hourly reloads, you lose out on the 168th hour; for 10-minute reloads, you lose out on the 1008th claim. These are all assuming maximum claim, of course. I don't think many people are trying to game the VIP system for rewards, considering the expected loss it takes to attain a substantial rank.

I start to get bored so boring here
I feel like im 70 Years Old and others are just 17 years youngsters.
And lack of logical analytical thinking
I can't find here nobody who to speak higher level.
This reads to me as:

"I am very smart. The reason no one else talks to me is because I am too smart for them. It is clearly not because of any other factors."
If you want to debate logical conundrums then perhaps the Enlightened Philosophers of EdenTM forum would suit you better.
Wrong, Crypto are for average Joe.
True. Who would gatekeep technology like this, especially considering the backbone of the network relies on its members?

ToS have been violated after the activity on his 2nd deposit(usage of VPN). We decide to refund the deposit from the 2nd deposit (37 mBTC).
The player has been contacted also on his Email. After this, we consider the case solved.
That's weird, because the ToS didn't have those absolute anti-VPN rules back then. What in the hell are you talking about, Ray?! What ToS violation did he break apart from simply using his VPN? Why are you applying ToS from January 4th onto someone that hasn't played since December?

More importantly: did you tell players that you changed the ToS and have them agree to the new terms?
407  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Sportsbet.io fake slot RTP(0.356BTC loss) on: January 17, 2021, 11:26:44 AM
This means in the long run I am always losing 8% and the casino is gaining.
Actually, RTP is equivalent to expected value: EV. Every time you wager 1 unit, you can be expected to get RTP units back: therefore, a 92% RTP means that you are expected to lose 8% of a unit every time you wager 100% of the unit. That's why I wrote the situation about 16 full wagers vs. 26 full wagers: if we have a starting balance of $100, the resulting wagered amounts would be $1600 and $2600.

Why would I even play those slots in the first place :-P
Why would you ever gamble at -ev odds? For fun. Slots are primarily entertainment-driven as opposed to lower-edged table games.

Anyway, now question - is there any industry standard or a casino can set their own RTP and if they set their own RTP then do they show it in their terms and conditions or keep it hidden.
I have known of a few slots where the casino is able to modify the RTP unilaterally but I do not know if it applies to this specific provider and machine. That's why I was skeptical about the settings.json evidence.
408  Economy / Reputation / Re: AdkinsBET's reputation. Is something wrong? on: January 17, 2021, 11:22:28 AM
Well done, Is that your "proof" that we belong to that guy "GP" ? Casinos shills is something that is not unusual in this world.
This, I can agree with. There's no direct evidence.

Sportsbet,Fortunejack,Stake,Adkinsbet, everybody is doing it. What is the problem with that actually?
This is just an idiotic statement. There's nothing wrong with shilling? Just because others are doing it, it justifies other entities to do it? There's a bit of argumentum ad populum and the fallacy of relative privation baked into here. Actions are not justified because they are marginally better than other actions, whether they are common or not..
409  Economy / Reputation / Re: Alt of game-protect? on: January 17, 2021, 11:20:01 AM
No one is chasing sportsbet.io, but LFC_Bitcoin has deliberately backed the flag against Adkinsbet through high ranked politics and also felt it necessary to get involved in something none of his business.
Do you have proof of this or is that mere conjecture?

Are you going to deliberate on the actual contents of the flag and the situation that arose or are you going to instead talk about the users involved?
I don't see the relevance of trying to figure out conspiracy theories for alternative explanations apart from you pushing rhetoric as a deflection from the actual topic.
If the accounts are owned by one person, it's important to note that they violate the forum rules by posting consecutively (as alt accounts cannot be used to bypass the rule) and will probably have a huge amount of posts removed.
410  Other / Meta / Re: Users who are blocked without even writing a single post on the forum on: January 17, 2021, 04:33:01 AM
But what if we reduced it to 1-3 days and on top of that, they have to do a bunch of things before they can post, maybe like 1-3 daily log in requirement, Bitcoin address requirement (It doesn't have to be their BTC that they are using, it's like for verification only), Bitcoin message signature (maybe if it can be somehow be checked automatically). It's like email verification but it's Bitcoin address that we are verifying.

For spammers, this will be a very tedious thing to do than finding a clean IP and spamming registration on that IP.
No. Anything that can be automated will always make it marginally more difficult for the people you want to keep out than the Newbies that are going to have to deal with the crap.

Think of it almost like purchasing power inequalities: you can sell something for $1 and raise it to $1.50, but it affects people of different statuses differently.
And if spammers don't need to pay the fee directly, they'll "pay the fee" via the low cost of getting such automation built for their platform.

Why did you edit your previous thread today, omitting the part where you were asked for identification, and repeating the exact same contents as this thread? Source.

Quote from: [LoyceV Archive]
deposited ~ 700 DAI
requested withdrawal ~ 8000 DAI

withdrawal pending for over 24 hours, then received email asking for identity verification.

after years of being a cloudbet customer, this is the first time i've been asked to show id for a withdrawal request, which they still haven't processed and instead, locked my account.

even after providing my identification to the *best of my current ability, i'm still unable to log in to my account.
^ I don't have immediate access to a current utility bill because i am stuck on extended vacation due to covid-19 travel restrictions making it difficult to return home.
I've contacted a family member asking them to search through my recent mail for an acceptable form of documentation.

cloudbet support says "Your account has been locked until our player safety team has verified your account."

so they refuse to let me withdraw nor will they allow me to play.

it is abundantly clear that cloudbet is taking any actions possible to prevent me from accessing my balance.

I think it's a bit dishonest to do something like that, don't you? What reason would you have to do so?

Have you guys dismissed the possibility it is not a bot? (Yeah, some people are actually ... well ... post like that.)

I don't think users typically type this.

The content, at the very least, was definitely generated.

Just ~ him if you want to boot them off DT2 eventually, right? Huh
Alternatively, exclude the users directly instead of buckrogers if the rest of their ratings/trust list are fine.

Would probably just be easier to ask buck to remove the users, too.
414  Other / Meta / Re: AI writing messages on Bitcointalk.org on: January 16, 2021, 11:38:12 PM
I don't think this person stands to gain anything by making two posts with a model someone else has created. My theory is whoever is behind Rohani6360 is using various forum accounts to make these kinds of posts, and is using the number of accounts that are banned and/or the number of posts that get removed as a measure of performance.
It would be very useful in the account farmer crowd for obvious reasons. If the amount of mental processing you require for a post is just to look over a variety of potential posts that you can select from, then why wouldn't you try to experiment with - at first, a few Newbies - accounts on Bitcointalk using the tool?

Effectively, it's as if you could do less work (pertaining to posting) by doing less work (pertaining to programming).
The plagiarism and "related read" is what makes me think that it's a GAN and given that there wasn't much oversight, I believe that adds more credence to the 'user doesn't want to do much work' path that I'm assuming. Either way, though, I'm pretty sure we're in for a lot more of these kinds of posts.
415  Other / Meta / Re: Wall of fame / shame. Shit posts so bad that they are actually funny on: January 16, 2021, 10:37:03 PM
There were predictions of the price hitting 20k "this year" in 2020, see this bloomberg video from early 2020. I think Rohani6360 is a bot using various AI, including machine learning to make his posts.
It's around the same quality as a bad prompt forming GPT-2 output or worse. It's extremely rudimentary - a similar prompt using GPT-3 or a more specific prompt using GPT-2 would not yield such poor results. You get a lot of repetition and bland sentences.

Alternatively, the user would be using some hacky NLP generator (though, why do the work when you can ride off the backs of others?) which would be a complete waste of time given the complexity of its sentences. I reckon it's more manual entry than a bot. In particular, this post tips me towards the GPT angle. [archive]

While this also will help members that want to get to Sr, hero and legendary fast. I do not see it different from copper membership, not that the forum needs money but to help and to discourage unknown selling of accounts. But I may be wrong.
The difference between Copper Members and Sr. Members is that they have differences in the signature restrictions.

There is no reason to rank up past the Copper Member benefits unless you are looking for a signature campaign or if you want to post extremely quickly. Neither of these are good reasons. And neither of those reasons would justify the forum adding in a "buy rank" option. I don't think we need to underscore the amount of spam that will start happening, but if we're currently in a cesspool, then the cessation of the pool will itself be trapped in a cesspool.

I think its reasonable  Undecided but the market will have the final say! I mean if someone wants to post or DM me with an offer I'd mull it over but this particular coin with it being series 1 and having the mysterious ERROR I would not even consider selling for the amounts talked about in the previous post. I'll hang onto it for a few years and see if there's a surge of interest from the general public at some point. If btc becomes mainstream as you guys predict I cant see how there wouldnt be
Hey, if anything, you're just making it less difficult to hold onto your coins.

If you truly feel that your coins are worth way more than the current market, then hold onto those thoughts: there's obviously a reason you led yourself to that conclusion and if it's based in pragmatism, there's no reason you shouldn't feel like it's wrong.
Most of us hold onto our Bitcoin even if we spend it buying collectibles - you're just doing both at the same time. Smiley

I've also tried to use TLSNotarry to notarize the page but unfortunately due to Cloudflare is not working.
https://archive.is/jRPt0 Best I've got for you in terms of capturing the site.

I do confirm your claim regarding the RTP settings, but again, I can't be sure whether these are actual game settings or whether these are just the default ones which offer some server-side tinkering. I would like to see Sportsbet reply to the issue though: at the very least, the numbers need to change.
But one very important thing you didn't factor in is that the probability in those 16 extra balance wagers of me getting lucky and winning my initial balance back or the probability of me stopping from playing. Which both means that I would have had more chances to win or to stop, which is the point here
I'm taking the expected value, meaning the average amount of time across all possibilities. If 100 people played, the average amount of times they wagered their balance would be 16 times - to get to half of their original balance.
