I don't think anybody would be believing a brand new or a newbie account for their accusations unless and until they have any solid evidence against the casino site.
We have already seen so many accusations with false claims which is a big reason not to trust newbie accounts.
The thread might be getting a lot of responses but that is something which we cannot control much in a public forum like bitcointalk.

I was wondering the same thing as to why are people posting about high transaction fees whereas you have mentioned the minimum withdrawal fees.
I was doubting myself whether I read clearly until I read this post of yours mentioning the same thing 
While it's true that the minimum withdrawals are higher now, I personally don't think that should be a problem.
You can just deposit a few $ extra so that it covers up the difference and then later withdraw the same when you are in need but the catch is that you shouldn't be using that extra $ for gambling 
Jokes apart, I know that the min withdrawal is high but what's the real issue here ?

Is it a marketing strategy ? Why would someone post about a potential exploit on a public forum ?
If you wanted to take advantage of the exploit then you wouldn't post it here on the forum.
If your morales are good then you wouldn't have had to ask this question and you would have intimated the casino site already.
The fact that you are asking this here makes me wonder if the site you mention is a scam site.

What you are saying makes sense and things are more clear now. The recent incidents could have been handled very well but it just became worse day by day.
TheQuin not responding on this thread anymore shows us that things are off at freebitco.in.
Freebitco.in PR announcing that they are hiring customer associates confirms that TheQuin won't be responding on this thread any time soon.

Ofcourse we can't beat the casino sites because they are designed in such a way that even if the system is provably fair then we won't be able to win in the long run because of the house edge.
You must already be knowing how the house edge works due to which we eventually keep losing no matter what we do.
Provably fair system is just a way to verify that the bet we are doing is not manipulated.

I guess you mean you "lost" more than $2000 in futures trading. Uh, that's bad. You must have felt horrible losing that kind of amount.
$2000 is a not a small amount to lose but it's good that you learn your lession and improvised later.
Making more than $1000 just from $5 is really very impressive but at the same time it's hard to belive to be honest.
Anyway, the lesson here is to learn as much as you can and keep improvising and learning from mistakes.

How would somebody be able to launder money by investing in bitcoin ETF ?
Now that bitcoin ETF has been approved by the SEC I think it will be launched in India too.
This will comply with the AML policies of Indian government and will allow more people to buy bitcoin indirectly thus adding more taxpayers to the list.
I don't think there is any reason why the Indian government will not decide to approve the launch of bitcoin ETF any time soon.

20% off from market price ? That's interesting. Why would somebody do that ?
One thing I can make out of this is if a person has obtained bitcoins from illegal source like scamming or hacking or something.
What else could be the reason for someone offering a 20% discount ?

That would work well if you want to verify whether a person is sending merits but only on a high level.
Suppose my merit stats show that I haven't sent any merits (even that is only for the last 120 days) but that doesn't mean I am a merit hoarder.
What if I don't really have any merits to send and I have sent it all already?
I might have not received any merits in the last 120 days and so I couldn't send it to others as well. 

Even I had bought some shares to average out but it wasn't much though. I didn't have enough capital, just 10% of my existing portfolio.
Anyway, it's good to buy assets at cheaper price. Now that Modi government is back on track I guess the prices will start rising further.


Why will they withdraw the rules which are giving them monetary benefit directly ?
Higher tax means more money for them which will eventually be used for corruption.

According to me, it's the knowledge that is required to gain profits from trading.
No matter how much capital you have, if you don't have the required knowledge then you will end up losing all your capital.
We should learn to trade with a small capital and then gradually increase our capital when we start making consistent profits.

Are you tracking people whether they are hoarding their merits or not ?
Unless you are using bpip tool to monitor different users on the forum it will be really difficult to tell if the people are hoarding their merits or not.
Besides that, if people are hoarding their merits then there is no point of it because we don't have any kind of benefit for hoarding merits.
It's better to give it away which is it's sole purpose anyway but then again we have all the rights to choose whom to merit.
Even I become really choosy when it comes to meriting posts but because I have only a small amount of merits with me.

I support the merit source application of @TheUltraElite and can vouch for him, having been on the forum for a considerable time myself.

As a member of the same local board, I can confirm that things have been challenging for the Indian Bitcointalk users recently. The primary reason for the lack of activity on our local board is the Indian government's skeptical stance on crypto and the heavy taxes it imposes, which discourages people from using crypto.

Language is also an issue as we speak different regional languages and so we prefer to write our posts in English so that every Indian user can know of what we are trying to say. Since English is the primary language of the forum, people prefer posting on global boards for a wider audience and obviously to get more exposure to merits.

We have tried to address this by organizing activities, challenges, posting regularly and encouraging other Indian users to contribute useful posts. However, the lack of a merit source still remains a significant problem.

Good that you brought up this. Having been from the same local board I have known Heisenberg_Hunter for quite some time and I can say that he is a gem of a person. He used to merit the posts which were merit worthy and always encouraged the Indian users towards crypto. He also took the initiative of hosting Raffles especially for the Indian users to bring in more traction.

All I can say is he did well as a merit source and I hope that @TheUltraElite gets the merit source position too and lives up to the level as well. After all, all we want is to get more people to be aware of crypto, encourage them towards using it securely and reach to a better place in terms of financial well being.

Even if you had your computer connected to the internet then the possibility of someone else generating the same public key as yours is next to impossible.
So you don't have to worry about the fact that the keys might be generated by someone else too.
Then comes the fact of securing your coins and I think you should be good with the technique you are using.
Just make sure you are using a genuine application to generate the keys.

I am not a fan of meme coins either and I personally think they are a waste of time and effort. We shouldn't be bothered investing in it.
If we are buying meme coins then we are just gambling it and hoping that our luck shines and the coin gives us good profits.
I guess almost everyone knows that meme coins are just for quick bucks and there is no other secret objective other than this.
Everyone wants to buy more bitcoins at the end.

Skills are not much involved in "provably fair" games and so winning such games does not guarantee that you will win the same way again in the future.
No matter what strategy you try, you won't be able to stay consistent in it as provable fair games depends more on luck.
So if you have a good luck then you can just pick any of the provably fair games and test your luck in them.

Withdrawals are now being processed smoothly and so there is no need to worry about leaving your money on the site.
Although there are a few people who are still facing some issues with the withdrawals, most of the people who had been facing this issue earlier have not got their money.
This shows that freebitco.in has no intention to hold any of the withdrawals willingly.
At the same time, I wouldn't recommend holding big amount of money on the site.
The amount can be anywhere near your affordable budget for gambling which you are ready to lose.
The user experience is still the same as it was earlier, nothing has been changed from that perspective.

From the screenshot you have provided it looks like the exchange you are holding your bitcoins on is Binance.
While Binance is a reputed exchange it is still not the best option to hold your coins in there.
You can store your coins in a non-custodial wallet like Mycelium, Electrum etc...
Just keep reading various threads on this forum and start you can gain more knowledge on bitcoin.

It can happen with the best of us. Once we have achieved our targets there's no looking back.
You should be happy that you got your profits and shouldn't bother about the bigger profits that you could have made.
Things could have also gone the other direction and you could have ended up in a loss but at least you still have the profits now.

I will be honest here and if I were a casino owner then yes I would surely limit a user who has been winning continuously.
Why ? because I am running a business here and I won't want to go end up in huge losses.
Also, may be the user has found some technique to abuse the system and so I would want to make sure such people are restricted from placing huge bets.
I find it pretty normal from a casino owner's point of view. I know this doesn't sound so good from the gambler's perspective but this is how it should be.
