That's a different matter, tbh. Changing the terms of use of a service is a normal thing and it happens all the time. However, it would be considered cheating or a kind of manipulation if it's done without notifying the customers nad if it has a retroactive effect which leads to depriving a customer from one or more of his rights. This is unethical and completely unacceptable.
But when it comes to kyc, what i would consider an abuse or cheating is not when yu ask the customer to verify his identity nut when you keep rejecting his documents without a valid reason or ask him to submit documents you know he can't get or any thing like that.

You don't really need much technical knowledge on how cryptocurrencies work to explain your problem to them.
I assume the transaction ID you mentioned in one of your previous posts is the one the sportsbook gave to you and it's supposed to be the id of the withdrawal transaction, right?
Are you certain the address (the one you gave to them to recieve your withdrawal) is one of the two receipient addresses that appears on mempool.space?
If yes, then they did send you the coins and the problem is at your end.
if not then you need to contact them and tell them to give you the id of the transaction sending to your address.

I don't know much about how staking works but I can think of many drawbacks in this method.
The most important drawback is that when you stake all your coins or lock your balance in order to prevent yourself from sanding it on gambling, you will prevent yourself from spending it on any other thing too. This will be bad in case of emergencies.
Also, an addict will surely find a way to get around this like using recently acquired cryptos (not yet locked). Or simply use fiat.

notbloks1's suggestion is what came to my mind when I fierst read this topic. It's way more effective and am sure there are many softwares which will let you block access to certain websites.

This is just another pyramid scheme scam. Your friend wasn't necessarily trying to scam you as he could also be one of their victim and didn't realize it's a fraud.
It looks like those websites, or at least most of them, are being run by the same group because as soon one of them dissappears, a new one appears but with a slightly different concept!
The sad thing I have noticed is that many people know they are scams but they still use them hoping they will be able to cash out and make some profit before the website dissappears.

not sure if this thread belongs to the scam accusation board, though.

This is a bit confusing! Please correct me if am wrong : You have a pending transaction which is unlikely to confirm any time soon. You used Electrum to connect to a node which has dropped the original transaction from its mempool. Removed the ( now local) transaction and created a new one paying higher fees and broadcast it but the fee rate was not high enough, for the second time.
By doing so, you made things a bit more complicated since some nodes have the old transaction in their mempool and the others have the second one and both are unlikely to be dropped any time soon so you can repeat the same process to bump the fees!

Luckily, since you used Electrum to create the second (replacement) transaction then you can easily bump its fee since Electrum create rbf transactions by default.

I had the same experience. Although I know those strategies do not and can not work, I gave it a try. I tried different strategies and the result was always the same.. lost, no surprise!
The main reason why those strategies won't work is the house edge which will slowly drain your wallet. Even if a strategy, like martingale is, theoretically, supposed to work, it won't. Because the house will not let it. Aside from the house edge, the house will put some limits to make sure your strategy will fail on the long run.

If the user is too lazy to read the terms and conditions of the service he is willing to use, then there will be no one else to blame but him if his account gets banned because he unknowingly breached one of those terms. When you sign up on any platform you will have to confirm that you have read the ToS and agree to them.
I wouldn't call it "taking advantage" when a casino asks a user to verify his identity as long as they make it clear in their terms that they may do it.

Children are definitely the weakest and most vulnerable group when it comes to gambling addiction. This is the main reason why most jurisdiction do not allow casinos to accept players younger than eighteen. Before signing up on an online casino, you need to approve and confirm that you are above 18 to be eligible to play there.
Obviously, this can be bypassed if the casino doesn't require identity verification upon registration.

You are totally right.
It's almost impossible to find a crypto casino or a centralized service that will never ask you to verify your identity at some point even if they claim they won't.
Just recently, a new member complained on the scam accusation board about a casino for asking him to pass kyc after winning (obviously) although they have a huge banner on their main page stating that they are a kyc-free casino!

Your wallet balance is supposed to be updated as soon as your wallet knows about the incoming transaction.
Does the transaction mempool says it replaced your original unconfirmed transaction appears in your wallet's transaction history tab?
If not then the sender has bumped it and sent the coins to a different address. Are you sure you didn't spend those coins yourself?
On mempool check if the receiving address and the amount are the same as for the original transaction.

انا على عكسك اخي kavelj.
 ليس على الحكومات ان تقف مكتوفة الايدي لكن ذلك لا يعني ان تقوم بحضر كل ما  يمكن أن يشكل خطرا عليها او لا يتماشى مع قوانينها.
بالعكس، المفروض ان تطور هذه الحكومات قوانينها لتتماشى مع العصر و تتوافق تلك القوانين مع تطورات التكنولوجيا.
للأسف، حتى الدول الأكثر تطورا لازالت غير قادرة على مواكبة العصر و أسهل طريقة لديها لفرض سيطرتها هي الحضر.
لا استغرب ان قامت دولة مثل الولايات المتحدة الاي تعتبر رمزا للتطور و التقدم ان تقوم بحضر استخدام الذكاء الاستطناعي فقط لكونها عاجزة عن احتوائه و احتواء ما يمكن ان يتم استخدامه فيه.

و عليكم السلام اخي.
لماذا تعتقد أن ترقية العضوية يحتاج إلى عمل جاد. لماذا يعتقد المنتسبين الجدد لهذا المنتدى او لغيره من المنتديات ان ترقية العضوية يحتاج المجهود كبير؟!
على العكس اخي، كل ما تحتاج إليه هو تقضية بعض الوقت و التفاعل مع بعض المواضيع التي تهتم بها. بعد مرور بعض الوقت ستكتشف ان عضويتك تتقدم شيئا فشيئا بدون ان تبذل اي جهد.

باختصار، اذا كانت نيتك ترقية العضوية في اقصر وقت، فإنك ستواجه بعض الصعوبات. ان كانت نيتك التعلم و التفاعل مع المجتمع هنا، لن تواجه اي أشكال و ستترقى عضويتك تلقائيا.

كنت قد شاركت بالتصويت لبعض الأعضاء في نسخ سابقة من هذه المسابقة و قد كنت انتظر بفارغ الصبر وقت الاعلان عن النتائج وقتها.
لكن بعد مرور عدة سنوات، استطيع ان أخبرك  و من واقع التجربة ان مثل هذه المسابقات هي مجرد مضيعة للوقت و لا فائدة منها. عديد الأعضاء القدامى يمكنهم افادتك ببعض المعلومات في هذا الخصوص.
لا تضع وقتك في مثل هذه المسابقات، الا ان كنت تبحث عن بعض الشهرة المغلوطة!!

هذا أمر عادي.
كل ما تراه و كل ما تتعامل معه مرتبط نفسيتك.
مثلا لو استمرت عندما كان السعر 28 الف و بعدها انخفض السعر ل 26 الف لقلت عكس هذا الكلام.
لكن كونك لم تستثمر فإنك ستبقى تلوم نفسك على كل فرصة تفوتك.
مثلا، لو لم تستثمر الان و ارتفع السعر ل 50 الف فإنك ستعيد نفس الكلام! الأمر مرتبط بنفسيتك و بقدر تحكمك بمشاعرك.
اخي ان كان هذا ما تخمم فيه، فلا انصحك بالاستثمار في مجال العملات الرقمية بشكل عام. السبب، تأثير ذلك على صحتك أكثر منه تأثيره على محفظتك.

لا أعتقد أن هذا القرار سيكون له تأثير كبير على المنتدى بشكل عام.
التاثير الأكبر، كما ذكرت، سيكون على المشاركين في حملات التوقيع. العدد كبير نسبيا و لا يمكن لبقية الحملات استيعابه.
لكن لو نتذكر قبل فترة ليست البعيدة، لم يكن عدد حملات الميكسرات بهذا الحجم و لم يكن هناك أي اشكال لذلك قلت ان القرار لن يؤثر على المنتدى.
فرص العمل و تحقيق بعض الدخل على المنتدى عديدة و لا تقتصر فقط على حملات التوقيع فقط تحتاج بعض الصبر و بذل جهد إضافي.

فيما يتعلق بالميكسرات في حد ذاتهم، فيمكنهم الترويج لخدماتهم على منصات أخرى و مواقع لا تقوم بحظر هذا النوع من الخدمات على أمل أن يقرر صاحب المنتدى التراجع عن قراره.

MegaPari user ID:
739249463

Registration / Account creation:
I clicked on the Registration button and was amazed that there were different methods to create your account! You can use your:
- mobile number
- email address
- Google or telegram account
- One-click
I chose to register with an email address (for privacy reasons) and the registration process was quite straightforward. All you have to do is to provide your email address,  country (debatable) then choose your preferred currency, set your password and enter a promo code, if you have any. That's all! Your account is set up.

remarks:
- When you click on registration, the first (default) option will be by phone and you will get this notification:


I don't think 3 login attempts/24h are enough if the code is going to expire after few minutes. Sometimes you have to click the resend button multiple times before receiving the sms code.

- When selecting which currency you want to use, you will see this notification:

It's a bit confusing! When I first read it I thought it means whatever currency I choose I'll not be able to deposit or withdraw any currency except the one I chose, which appeared not to be the case. I'm not a native speaker so someone else's opinion might be valuable regarding this matter.

- promo code: I entered BITCOINTALK as suggested!!

Opinion about MegaPari bonus:
After registration, logging in then making a deposit, I couldn't see any bonus! Maybe I've done something wrong but figuring out how to claim a bonus isn't supposed to be a hard thing, even for a dumb person!
Remarks:
I'll get back to the bonus issue later.

Deposit experience:
As I said earlier, during the registration process, MegaPari will ask you which currency you want to use. I chose Doge as it has lower transaction fees.
I sent the Doge coins to the provided address and waited till it get credited to my account.
I've waited for few minutes but my balance still shows Zero!
I went back to my wallet and it said the transaction has more than confirmation. I realized I need to refresh the page so my balance gets updated.
Remarks:
- balance needs to be updated every few seconds without having to refresh the page.
- for bitcoin wallets, MegaPari still use legacy addresses. Better switch to segwit.
- as I said above, the notification you see when you have to choose which currency to use when registering seems misleading as it appears you can deposit using different coins not just the one you chose.

Experience of the Sportsbook:
To be honest, I've tried many sportsbooks but the experience here is totally different. I'm saying this because I use a mobile and it's usually difficult to place bets on live games but this wasn't the case here. There isn't much I can say about this but that it was a great experience!
I'll definitely test in on a desktop browser to see how it works, though.
 
Experience of the Casino + Game section including any LIVE game:

I've tried few slots games and there is nothing to complain about, really. Every thing works fine. However, I've noticed that the minimum bet for some games is too high ($2/spin). I don't know if this is a bug/misconfiguration or what!
Also, I couldn't find how I can filter games based on the game provider.
The same apply to live games. The only issue is that they seemed a bit laggy(my old phone might be the cause, though).

Withdrawal experience:
Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough to test withdrawals, maybe next time who knows!
However, I've noticed something odd:

On the deposit page, it says deposits and withdrawals are for free:

but on the withdrawal page it says that a fixed service fee is charged!

So, which one is true?

User experience:
I liked very much the theme and colors! It's a mixture between dark mode and bright mode. Everything is where it's supposed to be. You don't have to look much to find what you are looking for.
However, I didn't like naming "live support" a "Consultant" maybe it's just me. Also I found few minor mistakes in the Arabic version of the website.
I find it unpractical to have to create different sub-accounts for different currencies. And it would be very helpful to display the balance in both the cryptocurrency chosen and its equivalent value in fiat (usd/euro).

I've also contacted customer support to see how responsive they are and I got a message saying I need to wait up to 20 mi's! This is not a live support!! I got a response few minutes later. I asked the agent about how much I've wagered and why I didn't get the bonus. Few minutes later he said I need to provide my personal details (something like kyc level-1) then I need to verify my phone number! I didn't do that obviously.

Summary and rating:
I didn't spend much time playing at MegaPari and there are still many features and options I'd like to explore (mobile app is definitely one of them). However and despite what may seem as a harsh review/criticism, my experience with MegaPari was really good, I enjoyed every minute I've spent there. I would rate them 7/10

I used to say the same thing but I came to realize it doesn't really make much sense.
The reason why I'm saying this is because gamblers can't tell whether they are addicts or no. So saying: "OK, am fine am just enjoying gambling and when I 'm about to become an addict I'll quit gambling" doesn't make sense. Usually, anyone who says something like this is an addict and refuses to admit it. It' s more serious than that, believe me!

Some says that 40x is the norm here and we have to accept it since this is what you will find on most casinos! I have to disagree with this.
With a 40x wagering requirement you will likely end up with a zero balance before you would be able to make a withdrawal request. Most experienced gamblers do not claim those bonuses because they know it's a waste of time and money. Better play with whatever amount of money you want to spend, enjoy the games then leave. Don't claim any of these bonuses.
