4601  Economy / Gambling / Re: A reminder for gamblers to avoid FortuneJack (ongoing lawsuit, 120k usd stolen) on: May 06, 2023, 06:38:47 PM
For a gambling platform to have a lawsuit does not mean that the casino is not good for other gamblers to use and make bets. Lawsuit is a normal thing as this business may concern because I don't see anything wrong for a company to have a lawsuit or a matter in the court. Same thing happens when stake was taken to court and many were think of reducing the rate at which they make bets on the platform.

You're right and one thing I hate is seeing people spreading fear especially  about another ones business and i don't see any problem with gambling  on a casino platform that has a lawsuit and I think it is even more safer to gamble on those platforms because the casino wouldn't want to play any silly games not when the legal eyes of the court are already on them 🤔
The casino has a case in court and who knows if the case might even get to be in their favour but whatever the case might be, please I think this thread should be locked and ill talks shouldn't be spoken of another's effort and business.
4602  Economy / Gambling / Re: Enough to consider a casino scam? on: May 06, 2023, 06:27:45 PM

I am trying to solve such an issue for someone very close to me and that the complaint he gave, I have no answer than maybe the bonus was canceled already before he made the deposit or there was a minimum deposit requirement.

Any other reasons?
I think you already answered  your question  because the two suggestions you gave are the basic reasons the bonuses might not be given to him and on the other hand, I think he should also try checking  if the bonus was given to only a specific  set of persons and your friend should also do well to read the bonus terms properly  and if he thinks he truly qualified  for the bonus, then there isn't any harm in writing to the casino and I'm sure he might further get the right assistance  for this worries.

I will conside this acts as scam if the casino  fails to give me a respond to why all or any of this things were done because I believe that there might be errors at some points and a simple  chat with the customer care might get to resolve this.

Well I basically  don't click on links outside of the forum  simply  because I don't want any issues after now and since it was your friend that showed this site to you, while not try them out and tell us about it, and by so doing,  we would be at a more better advantage to know better what you're tying to explain to us.
Nevertheless I don't think those games are gambling  games but rather they are simply just fun games that  would require you to play with some coin  and I just think is more of a play  to earn.
4604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: May 05, 2023, 09:24:50 PM
As far as gambling is concern nobody is to be blamed in losses of an individual bettor take for instance if you play sports bet you know when choosing an odd nobody directs you on what to do first of all you consider to choose the team that is in their peak at the moment, when the fail to deliver are you to blame anybody when you know that you personally make your selection.
I get your point mate and the truth  be told that most times as a person,  there have been some cases that at some point, we tend to regret our losses and which we made another option rather than the very own that was chosen.
Whatever the case might be, mkst gamblers if not all already know that we are solely  responsible  for all our actions but there are cases when we wish we can blame anyone  for our losses.
4605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: May 05, 2023, 09:03:29 PM
I think the online gambling  industry  is already a multi million dollar industry  because most times i could  only  imagine how much money is been lost to the casino  on a daily basis and I have no option but to conclude  that the company is already averaging over multi million dollars.
I basically  didn't need a prophet  or maybe a Google to confirm  how big the online gambling  industry  except I'm not credible gambler that I wouldn't get to find out nd one of the major ways this industry bis matching  up is through strategic marketing and promotions as well as endorsement.
4606  Economy / Gambling / Re: Can we trust 3rd party Slot providers? on: May 05, 2023, 09:59:31 AM
Well  this is business  and people also want to make money from it and for the third part games that was removed  from stake, there might be possibilities  of stake not making any profits from such games and if they aren't making money and profits from the games, then they should be making losses and no one gets into a business  to make loss.
I don't know if anyone checked Google  to see if these games were removed from other reputable platforms as well but I think I'm not bothered about third parties since the casino  has to do some auditing before putting those games on their platform and since I trust whatever casino i decide to use, I have no reason to be worried over third party games.
4607  Economy / Gambling / Re: Land base slot vs Online slot RTP on: May 05, 2023, 09:45:15 AM
This is a great thread  I must say but I really don't think there is any need trying to compare this both since they both have their specific roles and targets just as you already spelt out.
I specifically gamble more on online slot due  to my schedules but I also do visit the land based ones at every slightest opportunity  that I grab especially  with friends and most times I find it more entertaining  to visit  the land based casino especially  when I want to make new friends and enjoy some good chilled soda.
But I think for security  purposes I choose to do most of my gambling  online and that's why I never the visit the land based casinos  alone.
4608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: May 04, 2023, 10:15:07 PM
One of the factors that sky rocketed online gambling  was the covid and its lock down policy and since after the 2019 covid, the demand for online gambling  has been on the steady increase and I don't see it dropping  anytime soon.
And online casinos  are extremely  doing very well in promotions and I've seen alot of prominent celebrities endorsing a particular casino and all of a sudden, the casino records massive growth in their business which is an evident that celebrities have some good influence on casino growth.
I think one of the major reasons for the widespread  of online gambling industries  is the ease of access.
4609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: May 04, 2023, 09:48:23 PM
The case of the mother and child is a very funny one and what should be asked is, who then gambled the money that was transferred from their account to the casino  and who gave them access to the casino  that the funds  was transferred  to?
Most times the news and stories from the forum has always helped me make better gambling  decisions  so as to stay out of trouble and stay more in profits and I hope that we also try as much as possible  to learn from all these stories.
Well on the long run, I think the judgement of the law against  them was fair enough as they were trying to get someone  else involved in their mess rather than staying remorseful.
4610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: May 04, 2023, 09:41:13 PM
The problem is how you put gambling, if done only for fun in spare time is not a problem. But when gambling is done as a substitute for permanent work, this will be far more problematic and it is very difficult to control, the decision is in each of us and as much as possible avoid addiction in gambling.
Indeed, my friend. It all depends on how you interpret your gambling experiences. If you view them as something you do every day, you'll inevitably become dependent on them. Although what @lizarder said is the right course of action, if you gamble regularly, you run the risk of becoming addicted. Which, in my opinion, will result in a variety of outcomes because no one can control it any longer, especially for some young people who have no other employment options.Since they have nothing else to do besides spend what little money they have on gambling, I think that some people must be addicted to it. Once their money runs out, they may then engage in dishonest activities like scamming, robbing people of their property, or selling their own possessions.
Basically  I've seen and I know people who are full time gamblers and are doing extremely  well in it and just as you said and I agree that gambling  addiction  is solely  dependent  on the gamblers choice and not just because he gambles everyday.
One of the major reasons I think people get easier addicted in gambling  is the fact that they tend to chase after their losses and get sk carried  away and if you'll  agree with me that the act of chasing after  losses has never yielded any positive  result but mostly negative  results and possibly blowing bof account.
I think the man who wanted to kidnap his granddaughter  should be taken for a mental check up  to know what actually is wrong with him rather than just making  conclusions.
4611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I am only trying to stay safe by gambling less on: May 04, 2023, 09:26:49 PM
Bitcoin investing in casinos will have to wait patiently to make a profit bitcoin is a reliable currency with more positive results than negative ones. Gamblers will have to wait until the bull run to see the face of profit bitcoin casinos are popular for accepting bitcoin, an alternative payment method and currency that is never bad to have. Always make sure to backup payment methods that you feel are safe and reliable bitcoin casinos differ from regular online casinos due to their fast transaction times.
I've tried getting  a better understanding  if what you're referring  to, which i couldn't  but I think op was simply  trying to compare gambling  and bitcoin  investments which are entirely  two separate things and at some points, it seems bitcoin investments always looks more like gambling  but since there are technical analysis and if properly done, I think one should be more at the safer end in bitcoin  investments especially  when it has to do with hodling which has relatively  more lesser risk.
Please don't get me wrong and I wasn't quoting  you wrongly  but I felt I had to make the op clearer to you that the comparison was for bitcoin investments and gambling and not fiat casino and bitcoin casinos.
4612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: There are many advantages to the relationship between gambling and Bitcoin. on: May 04, 2023, 09:16:35 PM
One of the major reasons I enjoy gambling  on bitcoin casinos  is the privacy  and ease of deposit and withdrawal.
Just as we are always wanting  to put into consideration  the positivity associated with gambling  on bitcoin casinos, I think we should also try to put into consideration the negative aspect of it as well as whatever  has positive also has negative  as well.
I think gambling  with crypto  might make gambling  accessible for underaged persons to gamble and I think since there is no one to help monitor oir gambling  habit using bitcoin. I think  there is always ease of getting  addicted.
4613  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 10k investment on: May 01, 2023, 02:49:12 PM
Hi,

I’m looking to invest 10k, I’m trying to decide if to go with XRP or ADA.

In terms of holding I can do it for 1-3 years no real time limit. Not sure what returns I might get short term vs long term. ADA for example i might get 3 to 4 x return, however with XRP that might be a lot more should they win the court case.

My slight worry is what happens if XRP lose.

XRP is a dead project and I still don't understand why people are investing in it, it isn't like it's a new project but it's as old as some top 10 coins so I don't get what make people think it'll increase in next bull market. Are they thinking because the price is still small that it'll go up in value. People are forgetting that XRP has so much supply and circulating coins in the market.
XRP will needs billions of market cap to get pass $10 as it has about 52 billion coins in circulation. It's market cap is $21 billion so it needs $520 billion ti get to $19 which is impossible with the current market and all the cases the government has again XRP.
I suggest you look into the new coins launching like $EDU that just launched few days ago, it's a web3 project and would do well in next bull market.
4614  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How Confident Are you With Altcoin In This Time on: May 01, 2023, 01:22:43 PM
Quite a lot have happened in the crypto investment market with the long run of a bear market in 2022, as a result of the various market crisis ranging from ftx bankruptcy and Luna crash that affect the market for a long time, before the present recovery, many crypto analysts such as myself are confused as for what the level of confidence of investors towards altcoins in this period. Do you consider any altcoin to be pf future profiting, if yes then what is the percentage calculation of your confidence level in that coin and why should we hold them for a long-term basis?

I don't have any suggestions of coins in mind but I believe there will be many coins that'll do well immediately the bull market starts. Alot of investors are waiting on the side to get a green signal that the market is back and usually the influencers are those they rely on for this kind of news and immediately that starts happenings, you'll begin to see money entering the market
Alot of project both good and bad ones will benefit as they usually do during the bull market. I'm confident that altcoins will do well because not everyone would want to buy Bitcoin that they know can't give them much profits but many people investing wants to make money quick so they'll go for altcoins. To profits we have to be among early investors.
I think coins in the top 20 should be given much attention for security purposes and they can also give good returns as if you invest when the market is down, you'll be among the earliest investors and can profit when the whole market rise.
4615  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: how exchanges list news crypto tokens on: May 01, 2023, 01:13:49 PM
Some shitty exchanges not really required a lot documents, as long you have money. Because most of the partner person who is partners with exchange they will join any crypto group and dm you about listing, etc. You have money, your token easily to be listed and documented only for formal things.

If you want to know the document, go to the exchange and go to fotter website (Find about "List your token or something like that", then you will find a form about document they needed.

Not just some but many of them don't need all those paper works, they just need the hypes and money to pay for exchange listing and you're on their exchange. There are so many memecoins that doesn't have public figure as their CEO so who then met the exchange to do all the paper work business. That's to tell you, they don't need those papers.
The exchange just need to confirm your project to have a huge community to trade your project on their exchange and when you're the hype of the moment you get a free listing from them. Projects like shiba and other popular meme coins now listed on exchanges got there  because of their hype and community supporting the projects.
Many exchange only cares about their trading fees and will be willing to list anything hot to get their customers trading those tokens so they can get commission through trading fees, withdrawal fees etc.
4616  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If I have $40,000 to invest in one #cryptocurrency. on: May 01, 2023, 09:20:24 AM
- $BTC *
- $ETH *
- $ADA
- $VET
- $SOL
- $MATIC
- $SHIB
- $NEAR
- $DOGE
- $DOT
- $LINK

These are some of the best I have seen so far.

*What advice would you give me?


None of this coins can make you a billionaire and that's because none of them can do a 100x and even if they did, that'll only take you to millions and it means you'll be a millionaire. Been a millionaire in USD is a big deal as I believe having $4million converted to your own countries currency would be very big. If you want to invest and Bitcoin a billionaire in the next bull market then you have to go for low market projects.
Your choices are just safe choices and mightn't make you much profits but they're good selection when you remove $ADA $VET and $SOL. Solana is a dead project and just waiting for the whales to dump then the market will collapses. Bitcoin and Ethereum been included is a good choice because with those two projects, you can be assured of some profits no matter the movement the market goes. Lastly I won't choose just one project to invest all that amount inside.
I'll split them in different projects just Incase one was to die that doesn't mean I have lost all my investment. Altcoins are very unpredictable so is best to invest in many instead just one.
4617  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: In the best interest of investors, Bounties shouldn't be paid in Tokens on: May 01, 2023, 07:31:34 AM
I don't know who needs to hear this but after years of being a bounty hunter and keeping a close eye on how bounties are conducted, it's safe to say most projects make the biggest mistake of paying bounty hunters using their native tokens, why do I say so, well bounty hunters don't share the long term foresight as the project to the point of being a hodler to grow with the company but rather see their bounty payment as a service and will sell the tokens for less to get whatever money they can because they owe nobody anything.Of course, for the project to pay using the tokens is cost cutting but if the project is truly slated for the future, paying using non-tokens is a good signal for a strong project.

Paying using their own tokens increase the popularity of the tokens as more wallets holds the tokens so will the interest of investors grow thinking those wallets all bought the tokens and that's why airdrops were introduced. It's a form of marketing that make people talk about the project and people could pick interest and invest in the project.
Also to cut cost and you don't have to worry because before the project launched, they have already kept aside tokens meant for promotion and the bounty tokens are part of those allocation. Airdrop and bounties need to be in the project tokens for better marketing.
If the project have stablecoin for promotion then they should just go to popular sites that their ads will be seen by many and they'll be guaranteed of having a successful campaign as bounties aren't guaranteed to be successful.
4618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you a fan of sports betting? Have you ever considered using Bitcoin sportsbo on: April 30, 2023, 06:35:33 AM
I gamble most of the times using a cryptocurrency and Bitcoin precisely and you've listed so far to an extent are correct but just as other users have said, except you have a steady flow of income, there is no need trying to buy Bitcoin just for the sake of gambling as that might cause some more incuring fees.
About anonymity, I think generally, cryptocurrency has high level of privacy but not on most gambling platforms because most of the reputable and well known spookbooks now have to ask for KYC either before, during or after registration.
I agree with the ease of deposit and withdrawal and that's one of the major things I enjoy with gambling using Bitcoin.
4619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: April 30, 2023, 04:17:52 AM
This story keeps amazing me and most times, I wonder the length gambling addicts have to go just to meet their guest to gamble more and I think at every slightest chance we find an addicted fellow, attention should be called for such person as it is not always easy to fight addiction.

I've seen worst cases where one had to sell all of their family landed properties just to be able to raise some money for gambling and I've also seen one funny case where a young boy used the documents of his father's house as collateral fir getting a loan just fir the purpose of gambling and i still wonder how people get to this stages.
4620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: April 30, 2023, 04:13:24 AM
Nope, I never blame anyone for my gambling losses because I always responsible with all of my bet.

I think this mother and son are looking a loophole how to get their money back, so he choose to create a fake story. I have seen such kind case in my country where an employee create a fake story where he got robbed when he want to go to bank for distributing the salary to every employees in his company. The truth is he store those money in his house lol.
Greed as usual, what can you expect from a addicted gambler?
I'm wondering who's the real gambler here, the son or the mother who influence his son to be a gambler too?
Now they are paying the karma for making false mistakes. Personally, I won't blame someone for my losses, first of all I don't let someone handle my finances, and second I know what I'm doing so every mistakes that I make I should be more responsible for that and accept that mistakes.
Well addiction is a great and very difficult disease to fight and from the look of things, the mother has been the engineering force behind her son's gambling addiction and I see no reason why someone else would have access to your online account and even had to transfer your money to a betting platform and all you can do is gamble with betting house and how did the money and child get access to the betting account and rather than Making any bets, they would have reported to the casino if the act wasn't intentional and I guess they knew what they were getting involved with but as we all know that, no one dreams of losing in gambling as everyone wants to make it big in gambling.
I will just describe the act as a greedy one.
