Well, in the end its doesn't matter how many bets I made, my control was really bad at that time. Even though I followed your method, with a bet of $0.2 per spin, my mindset at that time was "free spins = jackpot" LOL. So i think i will run till get the free spins, even I have to take a risk my balance is burned.
Correct me, guys, if I'm wrong here, but I think buying free spins isn't increasing your chance of hitting a jackpot. You have the same odds of hitting it with your regular spins, no?
Sometimes. I feel that sometimes buying free spins provides a chance to hit the jackpot. But it will come back to how good your luck is. I've tried buying free spins on many slot games but not all of them give me satisfactory results and even give me nothing but defeat. But then I decided not to buy the free spins for a while and just go with the regular spins. And sometimes, the results are even better than buying free spins. So buying free spins sometimes pay off well.

There is no information. It would be better to make screenshots with the tickets. But i don`t think that this thread will help, it may be only useful information for other users. The BC.GAME representative only inform about some changes but don`t answer on the board. I think that he even don`t see this thread. And about problems with this casino - there are threads with problems that weren`t solved. But the casino works and pay money for winning.
The only advice i can give - continue dialogue with support and try to solve the problem with them.
Yes, that's correct. That's the only reasonable suggestion @OP can come up with. But I'm curious what happened to the account? Did he manage to get the attention of the BC.game representatives here and solve the case right away? But as far as I know, BC.game is already one of the good casinos many people recommend. So maybe it's just a misunderstanding problem that often happens to some people who complain about withdrawal problems or something else. Hopefully, @OP can settle the case well and withdraw all the money.
5143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto betting on: July 18, 2023, 10:11:57 AM
I only know a few for sports betting, like Stake, Sportbet, BC.game, and Duelbits. But I see you as a professional who understands sports betting and can profit from it. And I also see you seem to be used to using big money to bet on sports betting. And if you try one by one the sports betting sites in this forum, especially with big money, it seems that sooner or later, you will be asked to do KYC. So you have to be prepared for that.

The names of the sites I mentioned and maybe other members also mentioned the names of sites other than the ones I wrote might ask you to do KYC. And if you're okay with that, you can go for it and start betting big money right away.
5144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Who you betting on? on: July 18, 2023, 09:30:16 AM
I think by now we have clear results:


Threads will end up like a lot many of the stupid ideas that Mark Zuckerberg had and it will face the same face as the Libracoin (does anyone even remember about it now?). All Zuckerberg can do is to steal ideas from others and then try to profit out of it. He stole the idea of cryptocurrency from Satoshi Nakamoto and then came up with Libra. Stole the idea of micro-blogging platform from Twitter and then came up with Threads. But what he forgets is that he needs to offer something extra to the users rather than a cheap copycat to stay ahead in the business.
If we look at the graph, it is clear that Threads cannot compete with the popularity of Twitter, which has been online for a long time. And Mark should have realized that before he set out to create Threads. And it should be again, Mark did not steal ideas from other people but developed something else, like when he developed Facebook for the first time when there was no social media like Facebook that could offer a variety of features.

Mark's popularity seems to decline if he cannot have creative ideas to compete with Elon or other people. Everything has to be updated to get people's attention so they want to use the platform he just created.

That is if we are truly aware of the boundaries we make. But the truth is many of us still cross that line and instead decide to gamble and say that this is the last time we gamble and we won't be back for a few more days. I also often cross my limits in gambling, but that doesn't make me regret it too much; I just try to live it. But other days, I try to limit and not break it.
Crossing boundaries can happen sometimes when you're in a tough spot and seeking more bets. I don't blame anyone who wants to cross those boundaries but it's important to ensure that you won't regret it later, at the very least. To be honest, I rarely exceed my budget limits except when I really want to bet on a single game after using up all the money I set aside for gambling in a given week. But when this happens I tell myself "Next week, I should gamble less and deduct the excess amount I went over the limit from this current week".
Therefore, we really have to be able to limit ourselves to gambling so we don't spend a lot of money that will make us regret that we used a lot of money. By staying within these limits, we can measure our ability to gamble and only bet according to the money we can afford. And I also try not to go beyond my ability to gamble so that if I deposit some money to gamble, that is a budget I can afford. But a gambling professional must have more things different from those of us who are only small gamblers so that they really control themselves while playing gambling.
5146  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in is no longer a KYC free casino! (New terms) on: July 18, 2023, 08:31:50 AM
I am not surprised to see that. Finally, freebitco follows the other casinos to implement KYC for some of its members from certain countries. This is likely to happen to other crypto casinos as the government is currently monitoring them and one day, these casinos will also be required to implement KYC. I already predicted this would happen some time ago.

But it is true what @TheQuin said. It makes freebitco reach new levels and become a more serious and professional business. Members will see that this new ToS can become a sign that freebitco is a legit site that has operated for a long time. From a joke site, become a professional site. This is a big movement for freebitco.in itself.

From the list shown by @OP, I can still play the faucet freely and hopefully, I won't be asked to do KYC later. And it seems that crypto gamblers can't play gambling freely anymore like before with the regulations implementing KYC, especially those used to using big money.

I know some users create more than one account they take advantage of bonus codes given by streamers you know for every new user who qualifies they will get up to $35 reload bonus this is one of the reasons why they create multiple accounts. We don't know who to blame, maybe disabling the invite code bonus could be a solution lol.
They shouldn't create more than one account just to chase the bonus code given by the streamer. But greed has come to them so they do it without thinking it could affect their gambling account later. If the casino finds out (and can identify it easily), all of their accounts can be banned, making them regret they did it. Maybe everyone should be aware not to use or create more than one account just to claim bonus codes from streamers. But indeed, we cannot stop them from doing this because it depends on each person.
5148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: July 18, 2023, 07:27:43 AM
People who are alcohol addict, their mind stops working when they drink more alcohol but still they don't make decision which ruin their lives whereas the gambling addicts are so cruel to themselves, their mins is also working yet they keep on playing, take loan, sell their belongings only to play more gamble or recover their losses.

I guess the reason for this is that there is money addiction, greediness in gambling, which may not be in other forms of addiction.
Gambling addiction does not always have a negative impact on gambling addicts, those who are willing to do negative things to get some money have had an attitude that is not commendable long before they are familiar with gambling activities. Gambling addicts have a different attitude, some do disgraceful things in order to get money for gambling and some are professional by being ready to take their own risks without any intention of harming others.
Alcoholics have a harder time controlling themselves when they are drunk, while some gamblers are still conscious of what they have just done.
I think both gambling and drinking exist in the world of addiction. Just as an addict cannot stop drinking, an addicted gambler takes a long time to stop gambling because they reach a point where they lose their control. Gambling addiction can seriously affect all areas of life consequences of problem gambling include financial loss and bankruptcy. Professional gamblers have fewer negative effects because they avoid temptation.
And if someone has an addiction, whether it's gambling or alcohol, it can put their life in danger. I have friends who always consume alcohol every day or every night. He didn't feel any effect on his body but it sure was eating away in the long run, where he also ignored his body's health. And finally, he suffered damage to several organs in the body.

And people addicted to gambling can experience bad things, especially for their families, because there will be a lot of fights between them. Gambling addiction has a bad effect if there is no self-control which can make the person spend a lot of money on gambling. It would be better if people around him could find out the signs of someone experiencing addiction, whether gambling or alcohol, so they could immediately take him to the nearest rehabilitation center.
5149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What could make you get into a fight with your fellow gambler? on: July 18, 2023, 06:57:34 AM
I heard of a story about two gamblers that got into a serious fight on the grounds that a bet they merged an amount of money equally to place  using the online account of one person among their two. Luckily for them the bet won. But something happened, when it got to the sharing formula of the total amount won the owner of the account  insisted on taking a lion's share since it was his account that was used in placing the bet. The latter refusing to accept it that way they got into a serious fight. How pathetic!

What could make you get into a fight with your fellow gambler? And would you agree at anytime to double cash with your fellow gambler to place a bet using his account, on the notion of increasing the potential win.
Choosing a physical body combat with a friend, fighting has a low likelihood of being triggered. I can put up with a lot of awful things from my colleague, but when it comes to splitting an agreed-upon amount of money. I gamble with pooled finances with my colleagues; once, when the results were enormous, he tried cheating, I fractured his left arm; from then on, he seldom looked me in the eye to cheat; instead, we got closer together and shared a lot of things in common. I'm not joking; I'll go to exceptional lengths to satisfy my needs and desires. Perhaps we make money simply because we want to satisfy what we're lacking.
Those are the possibilities that can arise from pooling money for gambling or other things because of an imbalance in the distribution of money. And money can do very bad things which, if not stopped, can cause division or break up of friendships that we already have. When we succeed in winning large amounts of money, greed will surely appear in each person and they feel that they are the ones who are most entitled to get the most amount. And when the other friends don't accept it, they will reject it and that's where the split started.
5150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling effects on LGBTQ+ People on: July 18, 2023, 06:27:16 AM
Recently research was held by Dr Reece Bush-Evans who told that online gambling could Hide the sexuality of the LGBTQ+ people and most of these people prefer online gambling as compared to physical gambling for obvious reasons.

The more important concern for the LGBTQ+ people is that they are being treated differently in a casino which may come under harassment. Also, the study says that people at the casino, the staff plus the public have shown discriminatory behavior towards these people.

New Research Explores Effect of Gambling on LGBTQ+ People
I never thought that there is discrimination happening on LGBTQ+, our gender should not be the basis on how other people will treat us, we can gamble anytime and anyplace without thinking what would people will say to us just because of what we are and who we are but upon reading the research, I felt sad that this is commonly happening nowadays. in this case we should really be thankful for the online gambling that cope up this kind of discrimination.

Online casino will let you feel free without thinking what people may say, you can do whatever you want.
But it really happened. Not only for LGBTQ+ but for other different things, the discrimination is visible and makes those in the minority unable to do much and are forced to step aside. This has been happening for a long time and they think that the minority does not suit them even though they are also humans who want to be respected by other humans. They also have hearts like us. But that's what happened from then until now. And not only in the gambling business, maybe we see it but also in other things where it's not just LGBTQ+. And if there are things they can do in secret, it may give them satisfaction, like playing online gambling.
5151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: July 18, 2023, 05:58:48 AM
Around us minor boys are involved in various kinds of bad activities. Especially they are more addicted to gambling. We should keep our children away from all these bad addictions. If minor boys get addicted to gambling once, their life will be completely ruined.So he should have family protection so that he can't get into all these bad addictions. But for him if he is 18+ I think gambling is ok because if he is 18+ he will understand the meaning of his life and what is bad and what is good he will understand by himself.
We can't keep hiding our children from these dangerous gambling activities, but the best thing we can do is lecture them on how to resist such behaviors. We have the option of keeping them indoors all day, and if these nefarious children are their classmates, there's no way our kids will not come into contact with them in classes or the school environment. Observing our children keeps bad company will undoubtedly harm his choices and decisions. He's nothing compared to peer pressures; he'd want the best from his teen experiences; I've been in that situation before, and it's not a good path to choose.
As long as we educate them to know what is good and bad, they will understand and will not try to do bad things. And if they should do something bad, they will be very sorry and not want to do anything else, and just shut themselves in the room. But if we can't teach what is good and bad, they will have no regrets because that is what they think is normal. And if they play gambling one day, maybe they won't feel anything either, especially if several people around them often gamble in public. It's sure to spark their curiosity and maybe even get them to try playing with their friends.
5152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This is not Practical on: July 18, 2023, 05:29:41 AM
Why do we have to make an issue out of this? I think it's pretty much clear and self-explanatory. No debate is necessary. By "money that we can afford to lose," we only mean money that is not intended for something else important like rent or bills to pay, tuition for you child, regular checkup for your old sick mother, etc. That's the kind of money that is being referred to.

Me, I'm gambling with my extra savings, exactly something that I can afford to lose. It's not money that, if lost, I'd be missing a meal.
Obviously, it is free money from all the necessities we need to meet our daily needs so that it will not interfere with our expenses. And we also don't need to worry if we will spend more money later because we already have a budget for gambling.

We set a budget for gambling in addition to setting a budget for daily needs. But that requires good self-control and restraint so as not to cross the boundaries we set. Even though we may break those limits one day, we can still control them one day and not go too far playing gambling because we still have clear boundaries in gambling.
5153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you feels like only draw is your win on Blackjack on: July 18, 2023, 04:56:58 AM
I check it myself not with Blackjack though, I play with the live roullette that Evolution had. I will admit that I didn't bet first, I just try to observed how the game is going, I mean are there patterns that I might see and possible that it has been rigged.

Fortunately, I just used small money, I'll probably just had some luck on it as I also won some money.

I will try next BlackJack next time although I know the game, but I'm not feeling confident about so that's why I did the test with myself with the roullette.
I may try to check it out someday. But I don't really understand Blackjack and maybe I'll just play it casually.

But maybe I won't find anything suspicious. Maybe only people who really understand the game of Blackjack will know if there is cheating from the dealer or if there is a pattern that they do, so they keep winning.

Maybe it's better if I try to learn Blackjack to find out if something is suspicious or not in the game.
5154  Economy / Gambling / Re: Loophole in stopping Money Laundering through Wagering on: July 18, 2023, 04:24:46 AM
Precisely with the development of more advanced technology, the government or law enforcement can trace sources of funds and money laundering activities more quickly.
Nowadays there are not a few tools that are used to be able to hack all forms of money circulation activities and that is why many money laundering cases can be solved and the perpetrators arrested.
Even in my country there are several cases of corruption that use crypto as a place to destroy evidence and in the end the law enforcement authorities can track and find all assets resulting from corruption to be used as evidence of the crime.
Indeed, the government can trace the sources of funds and money laundering activities. However, it may still be difficult for them to do so because money launderers also have advanced technology to hide how they carry out money laundering. We also have to think that these money launderers can use advanced technology well because, with that much money, they can even buy the technologies they need. And if the government catches any money launderers, they may not know any other way so the government can track them down and catch them.
5155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between futures trading and gambling on: July 18, 2023, 03:56:40 AM
Yes, you are right, because not all experts, be it trading or sports analysis, still not all the predictions they make are accurate and right on target because there really needs to be other luck as a supporting factor to achieve certain goals, I have done analysis and not all of them are right. the desired target, have really experienced failure, almost often fail so that's what you say.

We also all know that everyone who has the ability to predict or analyze is also experienced, has certain limits, so it is not easy to be right on target because it could miss what has been analyzed. that's why it's important not to take other people's analysis and predictions for granted. because not everything is really exactly as expected
And if we don't have good analytical skills, we can keep learning, maybe reading about other people's analyses to add to the insight and knowledge we have so we can improve our analytical skills. If we want to keep learning, we can have the opportunity to develop better and it's okay if we still fail because it's all a process that we have to go through.

One day, our abilities will develop properly and we will be able to predict or analyze well at that time. We also don't need to rely on other people's analysis because we can already analyze it ourselves. But we should not assume our abilities are the greatest because that will make us arrogant.
5156  Economy / Gambling / Re: Freebitco.in - FUN Token Investment Experiment on: July 17, 2023, 06:54:45 AM
The price development of the FUN tokens has been not great at all this year so they will need to come up with new features to become relevant again and to go higher in prize. Even if they go to zero, you will still be able to monetize your investment, by the benefits you get on freebitco.in with the premium membership.
I feel like Fun tokens are just waiting for the altcoin season to start increasing in price because that also happened to other coins and tokens. Currently, there is also no significant increase in market conditions so altcoins, including tokens, cannot increase. We can only wait while preparing FUN tokens and increasing the amount, especially at Freebitco. There is a staking facility that we can use to get additional rewards. It is hoped that after we finish staking at freebitco, we can have more FUN tokens and increase the price.
5157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between futures trading and gambling on: July 17, 2023, 06:20:49 AM
The ability to predict the outcome is very easy to do by everyone. But predicting the outcome accurately is a different thing which only very few can do this and you can’t do this alone with prediction through analysis since tough luck is still a deciding factor to win a prediction. There’s some game which a heavy under dog manage to have a big come back with just one lucky punch or submission. Same with other sports that a favorite team didn’t perform as expected due to unknown reason.
Indeed, everyone can have predictive abilities, but the problem is that not everyone can have predictive abilities that are almost accurate (don't say accurate because it's very difficult). Only by continuing to learn to analyze the information obtained that people can do because it can improve their abilities. After having that ability, they can choose an easy match according to them. And also the chances of winning will be greater than before because they already have good analytical skills.
5158  Economy / Gambling / Re: Loophole in stopping Money Laundering through Wagering on: July 17, 2023, 05:40:57 AM
As discussed by some people who are here if money laundering will be smarter like when a casino asks for KYC they will use other people's data or buy other people's data to do KYC and when buying KYC they will not buy carelessly of course money launderers know if depositing or withdrawing large amounts of money will later pass KYC level 3 or 4 so as to buy the data of people who can later pass KYC.
So there are many ways they can do it because money launderers have a lot of money they can do anything including cheating the casino with fake data.
Money launderers or people who want to do something with the money they get from the proceeds of their crime can solve the KYC problem, which is the obligation of a member on gambling sites or on exchange sites, or other sites. They are very familiar with KYC and also have sources that can provide valid data for KYC. This case reminds me of credit card crimes many years ago where a hacker who has valid credit card data will sell to people who need it and it is they who use their credit card to buy the things they want.

With today's technological advances, money launderers or people committing other crimes can continue their business and maybe even get bigger. They can seek and get what they want, so it keeps them from getting into trouble unless they get caught by the government or regulators.
5159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you feels like only draw is your win on Blackjack on: July 17, 2023, 05:15:36 AM
For sure the OP knows and understand how Blackjack works and most likely this is one of his favorite because the chances for you to win is huge.

But nevertheless, you can't take a way that from the OP that he is somewhat questioning the possible outcome of his game. How he lose a good one? hard to fathom as this is online game. Although we can check if it is provably fair, but what the hell, you feel safe with your bet and already thinking of winning and then boom, dealer gets 21 and you are devastated by the outcome that you feel it was rigged by the operators.
He can check the game if he wants. But that's gambling, there is a luck factor that we shouldn't forget and when we often lose, that means maybe we haven't been lucky. I often experience this in other gambling games, say slot games. I used a few dollars there but the results were not good because I lost. And the other day, I tried playing dice and it didn't work out that well either. I tried again to play sports betting, but it also made me lose again. I felt something was wrong with the casino but at another moment, I realized it was gambling. We can't always win. There must be times when we lose, whether losing a lot or a little.

Men, My oxygen is Blackjack already for I am playing this game most of the time. I'm also very well versed on Blackjack strategy or card counting on a regular deck without continuous shuffling method. I also have a good bankroll management.

I'm feeling upset on my lose but that doesn't mean I can't afford to lose it.
Yes, it is okay. Maybe it's because luck is not with you. Don't think about it too much because it is a gamble. Some won and some lost. I'm sure you can win again another day. Maybe you need to rest a bit after the last game. Resting for a few days may be necessary; your luck will come after you rest. If that happens, you should give me a tip hahaha Grin
5160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: July 17, 2023, 04:45:01 AM
Everyone here is merely human, with feelings and impulses just like everyone else's. Because the pain of loss is magnified double compared to the pleasure of gain, loss aversion is innate. The battle isnt over after you put down your phone or computer; its happening in your head.

But here's an interesting idea to think about. Im wondering if you're familiar with the term "Emotional Intelligence." The key is learning to identify and control one's own feelings as well as those of others. Physical fitness may be improved, and so can mental fitness. Maintain a state of receptive awareness; meditate. Your responses to heartbreak will change as time goes on. Also helpful is keeping a trade journal. Keep a record of your accomplishments and failures alike. Never give up the battle, mate!
I've heard of "Emotional Intelligence," but I haven't studied it. Well, maybe I'm still in the stage of identifying and controlling my own feelings because the process will never stop as long as we are alive. Physical fitness can be achieved by exercising, and mental fitness can be achieved by being calm within us. And everything will be achieved at the same time when we can control ourselves well so that we won't feel too emotional when we get results from gambling.

And even though we have stopped gambling, there will surely be shadows of the previous games we played. And if our self-control is good, we will not be tempted to go back to gambling in the next few days. A gambler may not give up gambling, but what makes the difference is knowing when he is gambling and when he stops. That's a wise gambler.

Can one really be able to deal with such emotions after when you loss heavily?can you leave the casino hall and go to your house?its really difficult you know,but some persons still have that mind of forgetting it immediately and move on.Gambling addiction is something that has eaten into the lives of many,and they cannot come out of it,or will I call it greed,or the anxiousness in winning more that makes us not to go after winning,or loosing.It might be true that greed contributes to the reason why we don't go after winning because we want to win more and cover all the losses we've had for years,but it's never always possible to win just the way we think,the more you feel you gotten the tactics of winning,the more you experience loss.
Yes, it's very hard to forget the previous big defeat but whatever it is, we must keep trying. Otherwise, we will only make it difficult for ourselves because there will be an urge to return to gambling without stopping. We can only keep learning to control our thoughts so they don't invite us back to gambling, which is a process we must go through. Even though many people have failed to do so, that doesn't stop us from continuing to learn because that can help us get through difficult times in gambling, especially after losing. And if one wants to get out of gambling, one has to have the willpower to be able to say no even to oneself and go through the arduous process of not even thinking about gambling.
