This is a sad story but I wonder why you guys will not learn. You left good casinos that are big and reputable with years of track records and minimal complaints and went for Joya.Casino, you guys cannot learn or be smart in thinking. If a well-established casino cheats me, I will accept my fate if my money can't be retrieved back having fully known that I was not gullible in my choice after all. I will only take it as part of life, but this is unlike the casinos which do not have that big name or track record, the risk of dealing with them is too high. Working with good names in many fields has helped me till today and despite investing online since 20 years ago, I am yet to be scammed by any. This is because I think well before commenting my money anywhere and I do my research thoroughly to minimize the cheating potential.

The way the casino acted is so unprofessional as well, and it truly proves that your money was never safe in the first place. Such a casino may only honour a small withdrawal but could give excuses not to pay a sizable amount. Everyone wants to open a casino business, that's the problem.

Thank you for trying to help this guy so far and I feel for you to have been reading his English from the beginning till now. I can only suggest to the guy to find someone who would write the situation better for proper comprehension as his English is obviously bad and not helping the matter.

Notwithstanding, despite his English, I believe he was trying to say that he has already satisfied the condition needed for the withdrawal, so I think that shouldn't take us backwards anymore, even as Joya.Casino did not disagree with that. Nevertheless, what Joya.Casino alleged is not uncommon in a dispute like this, and as usual, no evidence is provided in that regard to truly show that the guy was guilty. Anyone can say anything to cover up something, talk is cheap, it's evidence that proves a fact.

As it is now, I think the OP should post all the initial support responses to be sure whether or not they tally with the claims of Joya.Casino or their claims are mere afterthoughts. What do you think?

You downplayed this actually but true business people don't do that, the ease of dealing with your customers should be your top priority, if not, you might lose a lot of them. Part of the ease of doing business is to provide them with good deposit and withdrawal options that are not burdensome. I just read from a user now on how a betting site that has always been known to allow Bitcoin alone switch to offer more deposit options, and this is for the obvious reason. I doubt if such a casino had not switched, more customers could have been lost.

According to your, fine, the company/individual receiving the money may not care that much if the other party is willing to accept that payment method and/or the cost, but if there is an alternative where such would pay less, your business could be taken elsewhere if you did not provide it. This is practical as the Bitcoin transaction fee can be annoying at times. You can imagine some trying to deposit $50 into a casino's account and the network fee is also $50. Is it reasonable to still go ahead with that deposit plan if it is the only option provided by a casino? And if the casino is not wise enough to have an alternative, don't you think the person will find an alternative?

This is why business people will not base it on "willingness" as you said, but on competitiveness, and will act smart and fast.

He has started crypto trading since 2017 doesn't mean he knows how to trade the futures market. He might only be one of the opportune people to invest in cryptocurrency easily but became greedy and wanted to make more since the crypto market is not performing as many expected in recent times. I can only term that "greed" if that is the case. We should know that the higher our risks, the higher could be the gain and the loss. I feel sorry for this guy!

That is the point, if anyone believes they can make a fortune overnight, they have a higher chance of losing everything instead. Trading has to be done carefully and systematically with the right psychology, trading system and management in play. The guy cannot carefully observe all of these and still lost woefully the way he did. If you do not know how to trade the futures/margin market, never trade it, and if you must trade, let the money and risk management be ringing in your head above all other things else.

Spot trading is almost the same thing as buying your asset in your wallet and keeping it. Why can't the guy opt for this option if not for greed? And the 100% liquidation in Binance is what we all sign for if we are trying to trade Binance futures trading, so Binance should not be blamed in this regard. No one should engage in what they do not know or understand and we should weigh our risks accordingly before taking it.

Are you telling me the guy did not know that the market could go either way, so why can't he plan the 85-90% you are pointing to by the use of a stop loss? All these tools and functions are there, so I see no reason why anyone should blame the exchange. I wonder about the huge risk the guy must have taken for a whole $1M to be liquidated. That must have been a daring attitude which is orchestrated by his greed.

Oh yes, you have to pay your taxes bro if your country demands it and I always encourage people to pay it and not try to play smart in the name of Bitcoin. You may only get covered when it is about the non-custodial approaches, but when it is a custodial and centralised arrangement, you will be exposed. It could even be tough for the government to know if the centralised system is not registered in your country, but in the long run, what if you are a person of interest and you are later exposed? This could be sanctionable or jailable in many country's laws. The thing is that different countries have their tax laws as you stated but I've never seen a country that will exempt you from paying tax on investments, which makes it general.

However, if it is a gain from futures trading, it is still arguably not taxable in some countries, which makes the whole thing complicated. Because if you buy and hold your Bitcoin and also trade it in the futures markets, how do they differentiate the income when they are lumped together? This is often possible if the centralised company is registered in your country and cooperates with the government, they will be able to issue the record on that to the government to know which income to tax and not to tax.

I'm just seeing this, sorry about that. But still, the little I've seen and sensed about this guy, he didn't deserve your loan, the risk is high. It's so possible this is an alt the way I see it and he could be reading this thread and laughing, which is the most annoying part of all. Well, what you do requires risk, that's part of it, but next time, I think a better account than this deserves your loan.

Also, the guy actually might not have planned it that way but for his campaign that might have ended shortly after giving him the loan and his inability to join a new campaign might have caused it as he attempted to join Joya.Casino last month. Regardless, there is no excuse for this at all. The person who has the boldness to ask for a loan should have good repayment plans if such a person has integrity.

That's why there should be plans A and B, if not C to avoid issues like this.

What I can only think of is that Binance is irresponsible, if I must say, they should not have allowed it to get to this level. I replied to a similar thread in February if I remember correctly, but then, it was only the website that was blocked and not the removal of the app from the app stores. It shows the high degree of the reluctance of Binance to cooperate with lawful authorities, which is sad. My country has a worse issue with Binance but the app is still working here. Let me believe the reason is that my country may not be so techy to the point of blocking the app but the website , and they might not have thought that the app should be removed from the store as well. Either way, it is still working, but I hardly have a penny in my Binance account anymore, I just don't want to be caught in this web.

I urge the people of the Philippines to do the same as well not because of the claims that their government is protecting their funds, it's a big lie, which funds are protecting? But because they need to join hands with the government to fight a tyrant from gaining from them and not try to cooperate to give back to the people of the Philippines in the form of taxes. Perhaps they want to continue with their money laundry activities because if Binance could be guilty of that in the US, I wonder how guiltier they would be in their global branch.

That's a very good point, despite the visibility of the campaign signature there, most campaign managers (if not all) clearly state that they will not count the posts in that section which I do not think is cool. The main reason why this persisted is that there are so few activities in this section of the forum, but this must have been aggravated further the reason the section is less attractive due to the lack of appreciation there by the CMs.

Think of it, if campaign managers start making the posts in the section count today, you can imagine the increased traffic the section will garner within a short period. The fact that it's a section with many discussions is a good reason why people may visit it and locate what they feel to reply to therein.

I like your points where you praised Polygon until the remark that it is better than DOT, how? Well, you can say that again, but you will not have that constructive basis to back it up. Let's just forget the farther past and look at the immediate past, I will always believe that DOT is better than MATIC in performance, which can also be used to judge future expectations. Fine, the two coins are quality coins that have good futures, despite that, if a distinction is to be actualised between the two of them, then I would say that judging by what happened between 2023 and now, DOT has it. Dot conveniently moved more than 3 times upwards within that period but the same can't be said of MATIC which moved less than that upward. For this, I do not know the basis on which you made the claim that MATIC is better than DOT as the reverse case is obvious.

Dogecoin, being the first meme coin can't be underrated or overemphasized, and just like Bitcoin which is the pioneer of cryptocurrency, Dogecoin is the pioneer of meme coin. So as long as meme coins are still being mentioned in the crypto world, Dogecoin will continue to be relevant. And whether or not some meme coins cease to be mentioned in the crypto world again, Dogecoin will continue to be mentioned, that's the way I can picture it for now. But for it to perform significantly as it did in its initial days is not feasible anymore, this is not the time that we have only a meme coin or two, we have many of them now, so the money would be split in them all.

The fact that it is a meme coin with a higher market capitalization equally means that the inflow may not be reflected so much in its price, which also means that, unlike the new meme coins with low market capitalization, it will not be giving such a huge multiples income anymore. Above all, Dogecoin is a good coin and will still remain a good coin in the future. In a worst-case scenario, between now and early 2022 you might have earned more than 5 times of your invested money.

You are quite right about the limited supply of Bitcoin planned from the onset, but do you think this economics is helping Bitcoin yet? I doubt that. If at all it would help, now is not the time and a good factor to consider is the numerous alternatives to Bitcoin that people might turn to in place of it even at the time it would try to help. The money in the cryptocurrency space is more, but Bitcoin can only take a sectional portion of it and not all, which is a good consideration here if you can think about it insightfully. Furthermore, if you agree with me, Bitcoin has been rising in the past, not because it is scarce, but because people see investment opportunities in it. This is the way I still like you to view it so that you will not make the mistake of the demand.

For a system that will create scarcity to have been put in place when there is still no scarcity of it yet can never help it grow due to it, at least, not for now, so we should wait for that time, and that is if it comes at all. Lastly, the best place to turn to for market guidance is the technical chart, but I wonder why you advise a fellow not to do that. Anything you may view of Bitcoin could be misleading since most are only assumptions, a belief that we hope for. But for the right and immediate guidance, I see no reason why the technical chart should not be turned to.

So you based your expectations on whales and not even on self-expectation and speculation? That's not so encouraging if I must say. At this point, I urge that you know that no one will know exactly what Bitcoin would do and we are all speculating. Whether whales said it or not, it is not an automatic reason why Bitcoin should or would get to that level, we should all hope for the best in this regard. Fine, Bitcoin halving has helped in the past, nevertheless, what I like to put across to you is that, it actually attracts buyers/investors one way or another which makes it a tradition that Bitcoin halving is helping Bitcoin. But mind you, this tradition often attracted buyers in the past when the price of Bitcoin was low and there was more money to be spared by investors, and also in an encouraging price level and atmosphere.

But now, the price was not only high before this year's halving but it also hit its ATH again and created another ATH of almost $5,000 higher than the previous one ($73,850). Though many of you might not see this as a big deal, I see it as a factor, an obstacle that could change the narrative. Now, the gist is that enough people, including the so-called whales, have already invested their money, how are we sure there are enough more to be invested? And will investors still be so encouraged to invest more at a high price even if they have more money to invest? These are the questions we should be asking now to be on the safe side and not emphatically believe it will happen.

Do you know what I love most in all these clubs' competitions? That will be a healthy rivalry and not a situation where one club will always be winning easily as if there are no other clubs worthy of contending. If Man City wins again the EPL table this season, I will certainly not be happy, but I love what Leverkusen did in the Bundesliga. I just cited those examples because I want clubs to give themselves tough times, especially the first 5 rated ones among them. What Barcelona is experiencing now is not uncommon and I urge that you blame it less. As usual, they will come out of this and I do not even think there is a huge issue here, it is one of those things in football. And if at all there are financial constraints which I do not know about, it shouldn't be as bad as you take it because, with not enough resources at their disposal, they can still do a whole lot managerially. Well, this season is almost over and I see them ending it between the 2nd & 3rd spots which is still encouraging. They've not particularly held the 1st spot in many of their matches in the past 5-7 seasons now, so it is not a big deal and Barcelona will remain the top voice in Laliga regardless.

Maybe they will fight better next season, let's just wait and see as it unfolds. The coaching job there initially tired Xavier Hernández and everyone believed that he would be leaving this season as he hinted of that in January. But the situation has suddenly changed as he is staying back with President Joan Laporta saying the club needed stability, and not drastic decision-making which I so much believe as well. Many clubs have made the mistake of sacking their good coaches or having an agreement with them to quit their jobs but such has never solved their problems in most cases. Let's see how Xavier can turn the table around next season, but personally, I did not believe less that the trophy would be lifted this season between Girona and Real Madrid. However since Girona reduce the good tempo they started with, it slipped away from their fingers. Nevertheless, they are still finishing very strong and well-recognised better than when they started the season which is a huge plus for them.

Anything called digital and that has a presence online will surely have the tasks you listed above as obligations/liabilities they will have to take care of or will always be taking care of as the case may be. Without mincing words, what might be confusing you or obstructing your judgemental sense is the pace at which casinos and sportsbooks are flooding everywhere and opening their shops easily. But do not forget the fact that the ease of doing business doesn't translate to the amount possible to be made in that business. Casinos may start today and before you know it, it will all be done with huge success by investing a small amount and a little effort, which is why many prefer it.

The establishment and the making of money are easier, which includes the running, licencing and regulations. But it is stricter, more tasking and more demanding when dealing with the financial market like the banks, brokerage houses and Exchanges.

Regardless, the profits in the latter are way more than the profits in the casino businesses. However, the size of the establishment matters as well. When they are of the maximum capacity in either field, I will always go for the banks, brokerage houses and exchanges in this regard, they are making money in Billions of dollars yearly and even the CEOs and co-founders are easy billionaires. That can't always be said of online casinos, unless the casinos are just an exception, they are not common.

Did you mean NoToKYC itself? Well, it shouldn't be difficult to get in touch with him unless you've not given it time for a try. Although I've not tried any of these means before, you may try them. First, you may want to send him a private link through his Bitcointalk, I am sure he could be checking it once in a while. On checking now, his last activity here reads 25th of April which was just last week, so he is indeed checking.

Alternatively, on his website, there are columns for Blogs (at the upper side) and social media contacts like Telegram, Twitter, Discord and the rest on the bottom side. Those are the best means to contact anyone quicker if the person is still active.

You have a point there and I must say that I am already aware of what you said as well. This is why one must ensure that they are not just gambling anyhow, they should gamble with those casinos that are big and serious enough and that can take security as a priority. Also, banks are not so different in the matter of data leaks, this is because it is human beings who are behind its operation as well and not some angels. If you know what many bank employees are doing all in the name of money, you will be amazed, so we should not exonerate them in this. Reputation, security and integrity matter here. Moreso, this is the reason why we should not just see a new casino and register there without thinking it through, why won't they leak your data?

Data leaks are not even peculiar to casinos or any formal or informal settings, banks and financial institutions' data could leak, hackers could infest them and we've seen a lot of government and private establishments where client/customer data got leaked. I've also done KYC with some formal financial establishments where afterwards I would be receiving strange calls and emails, so data leaks every time. But I am not saying this because I believe it is good but just not to exonerate the bank from it. As for the usage of one's data elsewhere, it is also not uncommon, but they do not necessarily need to lay hands on one's document before using one's profile and data all the same, they can doctor it, so risk is everywhere in this digital age.

Regardless, KYC completion is a standard and international procedure, and of course, it has its pros and cons, but no matter how we try to defend or reject it, we must obey in most climes.

Let me start by saying I am not a new crypto-era investor, that's why I strictly follow the rules of investment and do not let the love of Bitcoin blind my judgment. And among the rules of investment, the two simplest ones state; "Buy the low and Sell the high".
This does not emphatically tell you that you should just dabble into them so fast but carefully study them and at least not continue to buy the market that is already high and expensive. The risk is too much and the reward may not be worth it, so why risk it when the potential risk-to-reward ratio is not obviously attractive?

Also, investors are different, like you said, you mentioned DCA, but we can't plan the same way. I DCA when I want to truly invest in certain conditions, and that will be the time when the market is still within the confined level that is still considered safe and reasonable for me to invest it. I did that in 2022 and 2023 and I stopped in 2023. So, it is not about the fact of DCAing or not but the fact that the market is too high in price and unattractive to me anymore.

About the Bitcoin signature campaign, I don't think your point is valid because Bitcoin is just a medium to get paid in the campaign. I don't fake things, the money could be exchanged for anything later. Just like your fiat, if you are paid in fiat, you can move the money elsewhere for further investment, it is as easy as that. I have my sizable amount of Bitcoin already, so I am not missing out. I'm just saying that it could be discouraging for me to continue purchasing at this high price.

If this is your disposition about the whole thing, then it is cruel. You are not looking at the humanitarian aspect but the game and the businesses therein, but this is selfish in all right thinking and should not be allowed to see the light of the day in a sane world. Well, that's why people are not the same, as you think that way, others think in a positive way that helps humanitarian. Some casinos and sportsbook owners even know the importance of warnings and self-exclusion in gambling, and regardless of the amount they would have gained from the gambler, they will care about the welfare first.

This may not be genuinely common among the owners but some will still place humanitarians above their selfish interests. This is also the reason why we have rules and government, and any risky business is often mandated to have some disclaimers on their website/platform and casinos in sane countries cannot dare to avoid the self-exclusion feature on their platforms. Although the government may not be strict in regulating and enforcing this feature, it is a good one that the casinos have done their part, especially for those who are facing psychological issues that are gambling-related.

So, we're not in a banana republic where casinos will do as they like, they must obey the law of the land even if they do not want to do it as the law balances things between the casinos and the gamblers. Above all, morally, I believe that casinos must feel for the affected and offer help as they can, and not just be as selfish as you want them to be.

I quite understand your plight, but it is not particularly true. The fact that an expert understands a thing and earns from it doesn't mean the expert can't still broadcast it. Some may keep it to themselves and earn alone through it, while others may want to commercialise what they know even as they make more money separately from it. This means two means of earning for them, and what many are not taking seriously which is the commercial ones may be earning more for the gambler in some cases. Your consideration has been happening in the financial market prediction for long, so I quite understand this, but people are different.

What I will advise anyone to do is to first go for the free trial the guy offers, after all, you are not paying a dime for it. And if he changed his claims and asked for the money, you should just excuse yourself from his channel. We cannot always be commenting or faulting what we have never tested, we are not perfect, and what if he is right? For the casino bettings, I know 100% that it will fail. But for sports betting, I am still 50% in my belief that there are some spectacular predictors, but how do you know if you never give them the benefit of the doubt to at least try them?

As for me, I will not take the issue of scams seriously because there are many casinos that will not scam you, and yours is to be attentive and vigilant in looking for them. If that is achieved, then the issue is almost entirely solved, you will just be looking for the casinos that can serve you right. However, I agree with your stance that he might not see the casinos that will have all that he stated above completely, but he will surely get nearly all if not just one or two missing from serious casinos. An example is from Stake.com.

Also, the terms and conditions of the casinos are so important, but do you think people can read and understand them completely? This is why I think it is smart to try the casinos' gambling platform with a little amount of money to know their UI and UX and also try their withdrawal pace as well. From there, you may move to their customer support to ask questions. You may ask as many as possible questions, especially the crucial part directed towards the terms and conditions for easier and better interpretations.

Lastly, as for KYC, I think that it should not be an issue for the majority to complete. These days, people are even running to the KYC company because they believe they are better in the security of their funds compared to the no-KYC casinos. So it's normal that everybody gets prepared for that.

In all that you wrote, do you know what I appreciate most? that is the luck part. This is a proclamation of admittance that you can't beat the slot's algorithms, and the earlier you know, the better for you. Slots games are not about "I know it better than you," it is luck-based, and that is why you might see someone who just started this week hitting his Jackpot, while the persons who have been playing it for years just didn't have that big. This is funny, but it's the reality. Also, the decision to play sports betting is good, it is the main avenue to earn if you must earn in betting.

But for the fun, it lacks it in most cases. It is games like slots that can deliver such fun to you, which is one of the reasons why I play it often. However, it is all about balance if we can manage your losses in relation to our account size and control ourselves as well. In this view, slot games are still very good. This management is so important because we need to try our luck many times even as we persistently and painstakingly survive the losses. This is no little task, it takes time, courage, perseverance and management for it to be possible.
