Slots use RTP. RTP means Return To Player. When slot has 90% RTP, this means that system automatically gives 90% of money to players and takes 10% of the money in own pocket. This doesn't mean that you'll lose when you play slots and it's the unluckiest game. It means that when you play slots, you might still win but that's because other person would lose and opposite, your lose profits other players. In the end, casino only cares to make a profit of 10% from capital that was flowing in slots. Btw because of the competition, recently we have slots with 99% RTP and that's amazing. Stake has a slot with 99% as I know.

Today I read that UEFA is going to let Christiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr to participate in UEFA Champion's League. Does anyone know if that's true? If that's true, then we will be able to see Christiano Ronaldo playing against European teams to win Champions League. I think Al Nassr is a weak team but it will be amazing to be able to see him playing in Europe again. If they let Christiano's Al Nassr to play in Champions League, then they will also let Messi's Inter Miami to play in Champions league too and we will be able to see two GOATs again. I hope this is not a rumor and it's true. Can anyone confirm it?

Before Chipmixer we had bitmixer. Bitmixer was really the biggest bitcoin mixer but their owner decided to shut down this money-making website because many people were arrested in 2016-17 and many darknets were seized, he would probably be the next. Bitmixer shut down their service and then many people created mixer websites, many used the shut down of bitmixer to start a new business and many mixers came up on market. Chipmixer was only invented two months earlier before bitmixer announced shutdown of their service. Chipmixer started signature campaign similar to bitmixer.io and slightly increased their payrate soon. Then soon bitmixer announced a shutdown but chipmixer continued. Despite a huge rise of bitcoin's price, chipmixer kept their original bitcoin payrates and hired even more people. Chipmixer hired one of the best, trustworthy and famous bitcointalk users, promoted service through them and become one of the biggest mixer.

Btw not many mixers started operating after chipmixer was shut down. Many mixers that you see advertised on this forum started this business before chipmixer's shutdown, not after their shutdown.

Every mixer become famous from this forum. There is no better place other than this forum for crypto enthusiasts. This is the forum where satoshi was posting himself, isn't that enough?

Why do you think that bitcointalk users wouldn't generate large volume? Every early adopter comes from this forum, every business rose from this forum, how can you say that?
These mixers weren't using our clean coins to feed darknet users. You can check that recent mixers focus on offering you offering coins that will pass AML test with high score. Mixers focus on making you untraceable and protecting your privacy.

I have successfully stored up to 0.3 BTC for 4 years in my smartphone on Electrum wallet. I know this is not the smartest thing to do but I haven't lost my coins because I don't download any app and I don't visit any strange website.
Since this is only my experience and I know I was probably lucky, I suggest you to use hardware wallet if you are looking for cold storage. Even if you will manage to keep your device secure, you have to consider accidental drops (never happened to me luckily in my life), theft, damage, software/hardware problems and etc... Just buy a good hardware wallet, secure your seed phrases and seriously take care of your security.

There was a Cafe like that in my country, a crypto cafe in the capital, in a good location but owner was unable to make that Cafe work despite the fact that he tried his best for one year to make it alive and wasn't in profit, didn't manage to attract people. One or two person would come once in a while and that was all. He had a bitcoin ATM, even a friend of mine had bitcoin ATM in a very prestigious area but there was no interest. Bitcoin is still a new thing for many people.

It's very hard to held monthly or weekly meetings if there aren't many people interested in crypto in your country and area. It's very hard to make crypto Cafe work but I only wish all the best to the owner, hope this will be the start of something great.

Guys I have been holding FUN token on Freebitco for a long time. Now I want to withdraw all of them for a while, to trade with it and buy them later to deposit on Freebitco and get amazing rewards. If I withdraw my coins today but deposit them 30 days later, will I have to start from scratch again? I have been holding coins for 360 days and I get 10 free spins a day but if I withdraw them and deposit 50K FUN again, will I be able to get 10 free spins a day? Or will I ge the benefit of one day holding period and will progress over time? Does anyone have any experience?

I wouldn't risk that much on these casinos. I don't mean that you won't be able to get your money back but I think you might face problems like KYC and delayed withdrawal because there have been cases like these with huge wins. Check the trust on their bitcointalk profiles, check references and you'll understand what I mean.

I think it's safer to bet high bets on sportsbet.io and stake.com. By the way, in any case, if you bet high on FortuneJack and Rollbit, even if you face problems, there is a very high chance that you'll be able to get your winnings with the help of the community. These two casinos care about their trust on this forum.

Trustpilot reviews don't make any sense to me. If someone wants to see the casino reviews, they have to visit bitcointalk.org and check casino representatives' profiles. If someone has a negative trust, then checking of reference link is enough to have an idea about if casino is a scam or not. There are many casinos with positive trusts left on their profiles, this means that casino is a good and trustworthy.

To be honest, it's hard to determine casino's trustworthiness by only looking at reviews. Many people post a negative review if they lose and don't profit from casino and that's wrong, that doesn't make casino a scam company. If casino pays on time and has no technical problems with good customer support and response time, then they deserve positive reviews but people rarely consider these criterias.

You can become a professional gambler but you have to be careful with it. You can't become a professional slots gambler or dice gambler, this is impossible because house is always the winner, your strategy can't change the outcome of 2+2=4. Your strategy can't make it 5. But you can build a career around Poker. Poker is a game that involves a combination of luck and skill. Luck alone is not enough to win, you need skills, you need to know when to bluff, when to be honest, etc. A friend of money loved poker so much that he become a professional poker player and is a member of a poker team sponsored by local casino. He often goes in poker tournaments and is totally sponsored, has a salary too.

That's not an interview, that's just article.
Bitmixer owner said that he contacted his pastor, not his lawyer but this is bullshit. He smelled that it was dangerous to continue to operate Bitmixer.io and when he saw that so many people got arrested in 2016-17, he decided to shut down his service. He is the one of the smartest guy out there who knows when to start and when to stop. Bitmixer was a real money making machine.

Why do you all think that Bitmixer owner was stupid? Mixer over mixer is created every day with the same algorithm, no significant improvement. Blockchain analysis companies are getting better and better. If it was impossible to arrest someone 6 years ago, now it's possible to easily catch with the help of blockchain. Blockchain is not an unreadable book anymore. Bitmixer owner suggested everyone to move on Monero if you want privacy and full anonymity, everything is clear.

Want privacy without being in panic all the time? Use Monero.
Want doubtful privacy and being in panic all the time? Use mixers.

Choice is yours!

Mixers will find another way to advertise their platforms, bitcointalk was not their only platform. They might still be able to bypass restrictions because there doesn't exist any restriction without loopholes. What about only this text in signature without ahref link? Sinbadio platform for your coin safety. It's still an advertisement, just simple text but easy to understand what website to visit for those who know ABC in computer and internet.

I think that 1xbet changed their strategy in somewhere 2019-20. When someone would type 1xbet in Google, their result would be that 1xbet is scam company, scam bookmaker and etc but in 2019-20 1xbet started to become very active on Russian market. They opened tons of blackjack tables in Evolution gaming and put tons of money in marketing to attract Russian players. It seems 1xbet understood that honesty is the best policy, even if you want to make money.
By the way their past actions tells a lot about them. That's why I don't trust them and their sister companies. They created bet-b2b platform and created tons of scam casinos.

I had the same problem with Payoneer. They couldn't understand that in a country where I live, things work differently and I am not able to provide any utility bill because it's paid by the one who owns the house, only house owner's name is written on it, mine can't be, even if I rent the house, my name can't be written on it because house owner can rent house without any document or paper agreement.

It's probably very rare to see case like this, I totally understand how bad it feels. I don't know your location but if you are from Georgia, I can confirm that people can't provide utility bill and also don't need to have passport and many people don't own one because people don't travel often.

It's just an estimation. 10-20% means 1 or 2 out of 10 investor is a gambler. There are up to 219 million bitcoin owners, it's hard to say how many of them hold or hodl. Out of 2019 million owners, half of them can be users who use it only for transactions and not for investment purposes. Probably it's safe to say that 1% of bitcoin investors are gamblers too. When I was participating in Bitsler's signature campaign, I was actively checking chat and bets history. One thing that I noticed was that many people who were betting from 1 to 10 bitcoins, were early adopters who had hundreds or thousands of bitcoins and didn't care about loss of 1 or two bitcoins.

It was better when bitcoin was something new and people were discovering it, it was better when web wasn't super advanced and when crypto businesses were a new thing. It was just a good time, a new day, revolution in financial system, a new niche, a new thing to build business around.
Merit was implemented in 2017, this was the time when bitcoin gained widespread attention and become a very successful cryptocurrency. Also, since 2017, web and crypto businesses developed further and this forum lost popularity a little bit. This forum is not as mainstream as it was before and new things don't start from this forum like it was before.

So, I wouldn't ask whether was this forum better before merit or not, I would ask, was this forum better before 2017 or not. Btw it's noticeable that forum members are putting more effort to post high quality posts. To be honest, merit and high-paying signature campaigns, like Chipmixer, played very important role into making this forum a better place.

Does anyone know from BitFury why do I get You are being rate limited message?

I was scrolling NFT lootboxes and I get redirected to this page so many times that it's impossible to do anything on your website. I don't use VPN and I don't understand what is the problem.

At first I didn't understand what was the difference between expensive and cheap bored ape yacht club box but now I understand that difference is only chance of winning main prize. Btw it's not 1.5K purchase, it's almost 2K purchase per spin. I played that ape box with demo and I only won betfury tokens in 45 Spin. That user was really very lucky. Btw is it easy to sell NFT? Can you immediately sell them?

No one knows exactly what will happen to Bitcoin's price, not whales, not China, not USA, absolutely no one knows what will happen after a certain accident, we all speculate and expect this or that to happen. If we have a look at Bitcoin's price, it's easy to predict that Bitcoin's price will rise after next halving. We aren't 100% sure but we know that when there is a halving, people will positive about bitcoin's price rise, miners receive 1/2 of yesterday's reward and businesses try to express their interests, like Paypal and Elon Musk did in 2020.

I can confirm from my experience that Gambling really improves mood and relieves stress. When I was very depressed, I used to gamble on live blackjack where I was able to bet small and interact with live dealers. Gambling and chit-chat with them really helped me to improve my mood. It's sad that some people think that they can make millions from gambling and constantly profit from casino because this is not the case. Casino and gambling are for fun, not for profit. You can get a huge fun if you prioritize your fun experience and forget profit. Profit is a nice addition that you can experience if you are lucky. There are only a few games like Poker where skill is involved too along with luck.

It's not a good idea when team depends on one player, especially on striker instead of playmaker. Ronaldo is a great striker, one of the greatest in history but good striker needs good midfielders who will provide him with good assists. Ronaldo doesn't have superstar midfielders in his team and whole squad depends on his skills. I think this is wrong. It makes more sense to make whole squad dependent on Messi instead of Ronaldo because Messi is a playmaker and can always create threats, start from scratch and dribble through 5 players to score the goal.

Where do you have to pay taxes on winning? In my country I don't have to pay any tax to win or withdraw money from casino. I couldn't imagine if anyone had to pay taxes on winning. Btw what happens when you lose? Do you get tax return? This is so unfair.

If someone lives in a country where they pay tax on winning from blackjack on casino, they might be forced to pay taxes on their crypto income, so this is not going to help them.

Everyone can check my post history. I have been saying since 2017 that Monero is the next big thing that happened in crypto world. Monero is the currency that protects our privacy the most but it shocks me that Monero ranks 25th on coinmarketcap. As it looks, not everyone is looking for privacy but Monero will grow over time, people will appreciate the benefits that monero brings. At the moment Bitcoin Mixers are doing their job well, they simply cost expensive because Bitcoin price and transaction fees have increased.
