Good catch. Even though similarities in writing patterns aren't solid evidence to prove that they're multi-accounting, they're reasonable enough to raise attention. Not to mention that all but one account features the number 7 somewhere in their nicknames. Despite all that, I don't understand the reason someone would create a handful of alt accounts that are never going to rank up; even if they weren't caught, with such posts, I doubt they'd even reach the member rank, and even if they eventually do, they won't be accepted in any campaign.

Is there any possibility there's something greater behind fruitless hopes of joining a signature campaign in the future? One thing is certain though, they're flooding the forum with gibberish threads and replies, to the point that trashing them altogether doesn't sound like a bad idea.

No need to apologize; no one was born knowing everything, and we also took our time learning even the basics. There's nothing wrong with asking questions, and the majority of users here are actually helpful and friendly. It's quite rare to encounter someone harassing you for simply asking a question, although, there are quite a few threads and guides on this forum mentioning it already. Trust me, if I'd made this thread or had bothered to search a few years ago, I would have saved some of my BTC, which was then in online wallets. It's always best to prevent a mistake; although it wasn't a huge amount, I never managed to recover it. Online wallets seemed easy and beginner-friendly back then, but if only I had known any better.

I wouldn't go ahead and mention what he could have done differently with the money—his money, his choice. However, since he's posting on a public forum, everyone is free to voice their own opinion, whether we like it or not, gambling is not an ideal method of investment. I'm only stating that he took an unnecessary risk by betting half of his bankroll already. He's motivated, at least; I'll give him that. I don't think the OP's goal is to accumulate tips; he's a newbie, and it's unlikely anyone is going to tip him these days.

To be honest, I haven't watched the Eurovision song contest for years, I didn't know you could even bet on it. I randomly opened the TV and encountered the last few songs for the semifinal contest. There are a few good songs, such as Belgium's, Czechia's or Croatia's.
We haven't had a decent song in years, and this year isn't any different. This is probably one of the most kitsch songs I've ever listened to. I don't understand why there's such a huge hype about it.

From my understanding, the OP is planning to slowly build his way towards accumulating 1.7 BTC, he never mentioned that happening in one go, that's impossible.
If he's planning to bet 0.025 BTC again, then yes, he's likely to wipe out his balance. Although his plan is very unlikely, his strategy so far isn't the best either. I don't mean to judge, but 50% of your balance in one bet is ridiculously high. The OP should slowly build his way by smaller bets, otherwise, he's only got one more chance before his whole plan is blown.

What can I say? 0.05 BTC is a reasonable amount of money, and you went ahead and bet half of that in your first bet. It seems that this challenge hasn't started out the best. Although it'd be best to judge when and if the OP ends up losing all his bankroll, until then, everything is possible. Your expectations are too high, and you're already halfway through losing your money. I'd probably be a little more careful if I were you. I personally wouldn't go ahead and bet such amounts, nor would I expect gambling to be my investment, but that's your call.

Nonetheless, I wish you good luck.

Μα γίνεται ήδη σιγά σιγά; Δες κοινωνίες Κίνας πχ, η έννοια των μετρητών είναι σχεδόν ανύπαρκτοι. Σιγκαπούρη πήγε γνωστός και σε αρκετές περιπτώσεις δεν δεχόντουσαν μετρητά διότι δεν κρατούσαν ρέστα τα καταστήματα, έπρεπε να τα έχεις ακριβώς ή να πληρώσεις με κάρτα.

Γενικά προωθούνται οι τραπεζικές πληρωμές, σιγά σιγά θα μπουν επιπλέον μέτρα που θα σε αποτρέπουν να αγοράζεις με μετρητά. Πχ, αγορά πάνω από €500 απαιτείται να φαίνεται ηλεκτρονικά, αν και υπάρχουν παραθυράκια ακόμα, δεν είναι παντού εφικτά και σιγά σιγά θα κλείσουν και αυτά. Γενικά προωθείται ένα παραπάνω ο τρόπος ζωής του να μη κρατάς λεφτά πάνω σου, δες NFC και πορτοφόλια στα κινητά με όλες τις κάρτες κλπ.

Εγώ βασίστηκα κυρίως στο παράδειγμα που έθεσες αρχικά. Όπως είπες δεν έχει απαγορευτεί το χαρτονόμισμα των €500, απλώς έχουν σταματήσει να εκδίδονται νέα. Από τη μια το βρίσκω λογικό, καθώς στην εποχή που ζούμε η χρήση των μετρητών είναι αρκετά περιορισμένη σε σχέση με παλιότερα χρόνια. Η αλήθεια είναι ότι δε βρίσκω λόγο ύπαρξης, ούτε τότε, ούτε τώρα, ειδικά το 500αρικο. Αυτό που ξέρω ότι ισχύει πάντως είναι ότι πρέπει να κατατεθεί στον γκισέ, ούτε στο αλλάζουν αν το ζητήσεις, έτσι έχω διαβάσει τουλάχιστον, οπότε για κατάθεση σε ΑΤΜ το βρίσκω δύσκολο.

Το παράδειγμα με τις μηχανές πρώτη φορά το ακούω, αλλά υποθέτοντας ότι ισχύει, ποιο το νόημα του; Τα χρήματα με τον ένα ή τον άλλο τρόπο θα φανούν, και εννοείται θα δηλωθούν κατά τη μεταβίβαση, άρα, μια τρύπα στο νερό. Εκτός αν πρόκειται για ιδιώτη ή έμπορο που είναι πρόθυμος να δηλώσει μικρότερη αξία, εκεί ναι, έχει νόημα η χρήση των μετρητών.

Αναλόγως πως το θέτεις, αν πας σε αντιπροσωπεία να αγοράσεις καινούρια μηχανή της οποίας θα δηλωθεί η αξία εξ ολοκλήρου, ναι δε θα δεχθούν γενικά τα μετρητά, γιατί όλες οι αγορές άνω των €500 πρέπει να φαίνονται με μεταφορά η κάρτα. Δε διαφωνώ ότι γενικά αρχίζει να αποθαρρύνεται η χρήση μετρητών προωθώντας τραπεζικές συναλλαγές και μόνο, αλλά ότι το παράδειγμα που έθεσες δεν ήταν επίκαιρο.

Αναφέρεις ότι τα χαρτονομίσματα των €200 και €500 δεν γίνονται αποδεκτά "because reasons" όταν και στις τρεις "πηγές" που χρησιμοποίησες αναφέρεται ξεκάθαρα ότι πρόκειται για λόγους πρακτικότητας. Σου ακούγεται λογικό εσένα να πας στο περίπτερο να αγοράσεις τσιγάρα αξίας €4.5 και να πληρώσεις με χαρτονόμισμα των €200 ή €500; Θα του πάρεις ολόκληρο το ταμείο. Θεωρώ ότι είναι απλή λογική. Είναι χαρτονομίσματα τα οποία δεν ευνοούν τις καθημερινές συναλλαγές και γι'αυτό δε τα βλέπεις και συχνά και ούτε μπορείς να τα αποκτήσεις μέσω ΑΤΜ.

Μπορώ να δεχτώ ότι η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση στοχεύει στην εξάλειψη των μετρητών και την χρήση μόνο τραπεζικών καρτών, για λόγους φοροδιαφυγής και να μπορούν ανά πάσα στιγμή να ελέγχουν πως και τι ξοδεύεις, αλλά αυτό είναι μια διαφορετική ιστορία από αυτή που επισυνάπτεις στα τρία αυτά λινκ.

I understand your frustration at this point. Don't worry, though; I highly doubt you'll lose your money. Unfortunately, chat support agents are either AI or script based, meaning they'll just follow the script, and you'll receive the same generic information over and over. As others already suggested, try reaching them through the forum (which you already did through their ANN thread) or other social media, and perhaps you could talk to someone who's able to escalate the situation to upper management.

Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking? I find it strange that your government ID isn't accepted (at first you said you didn't have one; did I understand correctly?). Our IDs in Greece are also outdated, and I've faced similar issues before where a passport was requested, but I don't have one. In the worst-case scenario, you'll have to go through the renewal process and re-attempt to complete the KYC process.

Google has banned cryptocurrency casino related advertisements, not the casinos themselves. To be honest, I don't recall seeing cryptocurrency advertisements in general, although if I remember correctly, some measures were eased quite a while ago. I'm using a private DNS to access most cryptocurrency casinos, I'm a little sceptical regarding VPNs, unless they're paid ones, because free ones are overly saturated and you run the risk of being accused of multiaccounting, due to your account appearing with the same IP as someone else.

Well, first things first, he has broken an important bond with his parents, they'll never ever trust him again, especially with anything that involves money. My first option in this case would be to work my ass off and recoup every single penny back. I believe it goes without saying that I'd stop any gambling activities, promise to never ever let myself go again, and even consider asking for assistance from a professional. Someone who recklessly gambles away all their parent's savings isn't in their rights mind, they're addicted.

I have a personal favorite team in football, and depending on who's playing against it, I'll make a bet. If the chances of winning are slim, I'd rather not participate, even though it's my team. Last week it was playing against a team I'd consider to have had a similar performance, so I decided to go for it. The match ended in a tie, and I lost my bet. My point is that when it comes to money, I don't have a favorite one; I go where there's money to be made.

My main goal is earning money, entertainment is important, but in these cases comes second.

As the previous poster already suggested, this isn't the appropriate board; move it to the scam accusations to receive better responses as well. I used to use Trustdice a couple of years ago, but I don't remember and never faced any issues. I'm not implying that you're lying, but you need to back up your claims with the appropriate evidence, emails, screenshots, chat transcripts, or anything else you have. Then, we'll need to hear both sides of the story. Were you using a VPN by any chance? It could possibly be the cause of appearing like you're multiaccounting, provided that you're telling the truth.

He's not a philosopher; he is a mathematical statistician who devoted his work to problems of randomness, probability, and uncertainty, and if I'm honest, I hadn't heard of him before I read this thread. His views regarding probabilities are extremely intriguing, and I'd be interested in reading some of his publications, especially The Black Swan, which, according to his book, "focuses on the extreme impact of rare and unpredictable outlier events—and the human tendency to find simplistic explanations for these events.".

Personally, I could only relate to the "fooled by randomness" theory, which is something we've all experienced in one way or another, and it's often a topic of discussion about how we're being "cheated" when we wager larger amounts and lose. 

That's true, but most major casinos have developed mobile-friendly websites that scale on your smartphone's screen; thus, the number that hasn't is probably minor. Phones are the leading devices now; tablets are out of fashion, and their audience is shrinking. They don't serve any specific purpose, except for being larger than a smartphone. I personally use my phone and occasionally my personal computer (a laptop in this case). We do pretty much everything on our phones nowadays; if you were to ask me 3 to 4 years ago, I'd probably say the opposite; I used to spend quite some time in front of a computer screen.

Well, can I say that I'm not surprised? It's not unusual for streamers to be monetized by well-known casinos in order to promote them, and, to be honest, there's nothing wrong with that. However, using a demo account and tampering with the winning odds is not only immoral by the casino, but from the streamer who agrees to do it for money as well, it's a borderline scam.

This isn't something I've heard before. I'm not keen on watching streams; I don't find them entertaining, plus I don't really fancy all this promotion going on, but as I've said, I'm not amused by the news. Some people will go to great lengths for money, but this is completely wrong. You're playing mind games with your viewers, tricking them into believing that they can yield the same returns as you, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

As others have already suggested, you're lucky that you were allowed to withdraw the funds. I believed that people would have learned their lesson after having their accounts go under investigation when the whole mixer situation occurred. That's on you, not the exchange to blame.

Receiving funds directly on exchanges isn't advisable, and I believe you now understand why. On top of that, centralized exchanges have all your personal details, and receiving such amounts of cryptocurrency from unknown sources could raise red flags in your account, and you may also be subject to paying income tax if you were put under further investigation.

You're right, I can't recall what kind of advertisement it was, but it's unlikely that it was casino-related, but probably some kind of NFT. I tried to replicate it on Google and Facebook, but all the results are of all the major casinos known in my country, such as Stoiximan, Novibet, or Bet365. I am not sure if those are international or not, but they are permitted by the government and go as far as withholding a percentage of your earnings as income tax during the withdrawal process.

It's frustrating that even in this day and age, where cryptocurrencies are booming, many related services are banned for undefined reasons.
