I also think that betting on chess has some really interesting aspects. In my opinion it has to be consideres as sports, but maybe it is not the best spports to bet on. But at least you have to focus on the players and their last matches. Definitely worth to take a look at.
Maybe betting on chess will be interesting for some people but the other people, that game needs some time to finish and see who the winner is and that will need patient from the bettor to see if their player can win or lose. Yes, chess is considered sports, but some gamblers want to bet on the sports that will have a challenge and excitement when they play. So maybe we will search for the sports that we might think will be the best sports to bet on.

Yes, it needs to stop sooner or later, but it will need more people who have the power to investigate this problem until they found the root of the problem. Someday, sports will have a clean from the corruption and sports betting can continue without interfering with that corrupt people.

It won't be completely stop but in fairness in today's game, there are only few reported case of rigged sports especially in big or small leagues and we as a viewers, can see it clearly if a game is completely biased or a total rigged.

It's just that the rigged happened on this topic is so obvious that's why it gained an attention from professional players in the country voicing out some concerns.
Maybe that can reduce slowly, especially if the officials can catch the actor behind to get punishment from the authorities. If they can get caught, sooner or later, that can completely stop and we will see the fairness in the game so there is nothing to worry about with that rigged. We as an audience need to be wise if we see that thing still happen in the sports and maybe we can report it to the officials or the authorities. At least, that can be a clue for them to investigate any rigged that happen in the sports.

It is not easy to control our emotions so as not to be greedy, because it is a fun thing when we manage to win gambling and get money.
Even though the victory we get can be lost instantly, if we experience defeat when playing gambling again to be able to get a bigger win.
Therefore, why gambling has an age limit, so that people who play gambling are expected to think maturely. In order to limit ourselves
when it is time to stop playing gambling, if we play too much it is also not the pleasure we get. We will be stressed, because we know
the longer we play gambling, not the more money we make, instead we can lose even more money.
Even if that is not easy, we must still try to control greediness if we do not want to lose money in gambling. Maybe we have that experience when we win, our emotion becomes bigger and leads us to still playing gambling and use that money to get another winning. If we can not control ourselves, we will lose the money, including the win money and if that happens, that will be no use for us to win the games. That is why we really need to take care of ourselves in gambling games to prevent the loss.

It's actually good that we discuss rigging games, at least people would be aware that it's happening in any sport and in any location. Once we are all aware of a possible rigging of games, we would not be too confident to follow public opinion especially if we are a bettor. Though it's happening or it happened, we still can't conclude that the sport is corrupt as there are other leagues that are not rigged.
Maybe the other leagues that do not have a bigger audience will not find rigging, but we do not know for sure because the public will not see the rigging or corruption. It is hidden from the public but it is real and it is happening without we can see it. Maybe if we want to bet on those sports, we need to search for the other info to find more about the game and maybe we will know if the sports are not rigged.
I believe this happens everywhere now because this is a syndicated market and not just a small time system

They are manipulating the whole sports and not some game.

This must be stopped or we will face another loss from every game , we can see that people nowadays are not trusting each and sooner we will lose the market of legitimate sportsbetting .
If we talk about the syndicated market, I feel that it is bigger than we can expect because I am sure that is happening for a long time ago without us know. They can do whatever they want, including manipulating the system or the whole sports, but they will act secretly and smoothly without realising it.

Yes, it needs to stop sooner or later, but it will need more people who have the power to investigate this problem until they found the root of the problem. Someday, sports will have a clean from the corruption and sports betting can continue without interfering with that corrupt people.

If you search online you will find many platforms for playing games in which case you may be deceived by many so using your knowledge you can invest here or focus on playing games otherwise you are likely to lose your capital.
Before you play gambling, you should search for information and read how to play gambling games, especially if you are interested in gambling games. By learning how to play those games, you can try to win, but that does not mean you can play hard to win because that will not be easy to win. You can focus on playing games but you need to know when to stop the games before running out of your money. Losing money in gambling games will be a pain and not all gamblers can accept it.
6446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Feel Pressed Something while Gambling on: May 05, 2021, 03:17:07 PM
Maybe your mother was angry with you because you are going into a small casino or maybe what we called that is a underground casino is because your minor? Or another thing is that you doesn't have any job and yet you are gambling the money that your parents is giving to you. Those are the possible reasons why your mother sent you home, although you are winning, it is not good to use money of others just to support your gambling passion. look a job and use your earnings to support your passion.
I guess his mother wants to make sure he is not doing something not right, such as playing gambling, because his mother is afraid to see his child get a problem because of playing gambling. Even if his child wins on gambling, it does not make sense if a mother will let their child always play gambling and risk their money on the table. It is a kind of protection from a mother to her child and will always be like that. Maybe that can make us feel embarrassed because our mother come into the casino and angry with the employee, but if we can see that is because a mother nature wants to protect her child, that will make sense to see his mother will do like that.

You're definitely not the first nor the last one to have this issue. Actually, the current discussion on our thread is about unfair T&C as years of experience in the industry have shown that operators will do anything to void winnings won by bonus funds. It is what it is, though and it's a lesson learned. Everyone should always read the T&C and even maybe double-check with customer care before claiming and using a bonus to protect their winnings if they get a lucky streak.
It is a lesson to all of us not to avoid the T&C even in the reputable gambling site or offline casino because we need to know their rule and prevent not breaking their rule. The reputable casino, whether offline or online, will not try to cheat their members because that will be related to their reputations. And if their members have a problem, they will try to help and solve it because that is the important for them to make their members satisfy. But yes, we need to make sure that we know the rule and read all of the T&C on that site.

UAE is more liberal when compared to the other Muslim countries, but there are a few things that you need to remind before visiting that country. Unmarried couples are not allowed as per the law, although it is tolerated to a degree. Recreational drugs are strictly prohibited, and in case you are caught, then you can expect the courts handing down a death sentence, which can't be appealed further. There are things that are illegal, but tolerated to a certain degree. But if you are unlucky enough, then you will be prosecuted for these.

In my personal opinion I just looked at the muslim countries having a same religious law or Islamic religious belief and that is including UAE.  And to be honest Dubai was a beautiful country with so many good and beautiful place to offer in the tourist if this country will going to push tourism as one of the source of their income and which of course any tourist should respect and should follow. But I am also curious does gambling will be avilable or will be implemented legally at the Islamic countries.?

The is not about ideas or thoughts, this region has very strict religious rules and the question is how can people coming from external stick to that? It is a different world that here and there tries to adjust their reality to ours, but it is still not consistent. That is why it is hard for us to really understand what the intentions of the United Emirates are.
Maybe they want to invite more investors from the gambling business to their country and invest their money. But that is just speculation to know what it is as they will not tell their reason to the public. I guess that will be the pros and cons behind that and we might see a debate on approval from many people. We hope that it will not affect their people, and the government can decide.

Still, if they found that someone is playing gambling in an offline casino, they will investigate it.

What do you mean by the offline casino? Gambling in physical one?
Yes, that seems to be it about offline, the physical casino.

Sometimes, winnings here are directly withdrawn by cash. If there's a tax involved, that was already deducted by the casino upon cashing it out. No investigation should be made here by the authorities.

Different story if we are talking about illegal gambling place.
For verification, a gambler can ask that to the concierge or any staff before proceeding if he wants to make sure about paying taxes from his winnings.
That won't hurt a lot if it's already deducted and you've won that much by that time.
Yes, that is right. It is the physical casino.

If we won a lot of money, maybe the tax can be 10%-15% from all of the total money we want to withdraw and I think that still a lot of money that we can get. So that will not be a problem for us if we're going to cash out the money.

But no matter what it is, if that money is sent into our bank account and that is a lot of money, the authorities can ask us and investigate where the money comes from. If that money comes from a gambling place while gambling is prohibited in our country, they can get the money and investigate further.
6450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos: Internal notifications, message inbox vs Email. on: May 04, 2021, 07:06:29 PM
~
I think that will be back to the player itself. Maybe they can delete the email notifications from the casino and determine which email they can read. But all in all, the email notifications can help the gambler know about the promotions from the casino. If the gambler is interested, they can visit that casino to see more information about the casino. I think the casino sends the email to inform what they did with their casino so their member knows that they are really concerned with their business, especially to their members.
Eh, to each of their own maybe to me it is annoying but to others it doesn't bother them. But I hope that there will be some unobtrusive way to deliver those notification buttons someday.
I think you can be unsubscribed from their email notification so you do not receive any news from them. Usually, every website has its subscription email services. If their members agree with the subscription the first time they register, they can unregister the subscription in the future if they do not need any news update from them. Maybe you can check it on every website email, and I think it is at the bottom of the email sent to you.
6451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do I need to pay Tax on my Crypto Gambling Winnings? A guide on: May 04, 2021, 06:22:45 PM
What you are saying makes perfect sense, if I am lucky to win a big. When going to cashout to a bank account, there will definitely be a question of
sources of income. I didn't think that far before, because until now I have never won in large numbers when playing gambling Cheesy. If caught
the source of income from gambling, my funds can be frozen or rejected Cry. Maybe I will cashout gradually, so as not to be suspected. Or do you have
any other good ideas?
Maybe you can send the win money to the other wallets, such as private wallets or wallets on the exchanges, and you can start to withdraw gradually. At least, that is what I did so far. I do not withdraw thousands of dollars at once, and if I want to withdraw thousands of dollars, I will divide it into two or three parts and withdraw it three times. That will not sound the bank's alarms because that will look like a normal transaction.

I wouldn't rely on that if I were you. At some point you want to cash out the money and financial authorities may scrutinize your account even in the future. What do you answer them if they ask you where the money comes from? Even if it's from another person because you sold from an exchange, they could ask you how you are related to that person.

You are playing a dangerous game my friend!
No, I do not think that the financial authorities will do that. But if they do that, I think I will answer that the money comes from other ways. I will give the proof to them and I think they will not be suspicious with that. If that money comes from the exchanges, the financial authorities will search for that exchange and maybe they will ask about that. That will not be a problem for me as I also trade on the exchange to make more money.

We will have our way to withdraw the money, whether that is the money from gambling or the exchanges.

I don't know where you come from but financial authorities usually cannot be cheated on as you are trying to explain it. If there is a single part of your story inconsistent or incoherent you will have a problem. Perhaps you are right and in your country it is not that difficult to present them with a fairytale about the origins of your wealth.
I hope they will not ask many things so I do not have to cheated them because I do not want to do that. But I think if our wealth comes from the crypto, I guess they will not find it unless we send the money from the third party services to our bank account because that can make them easily know how much our wealth. So far, the financial authorities are not trying to investigate people who won from online gambling, but I do not what will happen in the future. Still, if they found that someone is playing gambling in an offline casino, they will investigate it.
6452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manga Betting on: May 04, 2021, 04:24:02 PM
I was reading Kengan Omega and Records of Ragnarok and I think that it can be used for potential betting because the story is ongoing and it is a fight which means that we can put our bets on who wins or whether the round is a draw. RoR has a predetermined roster though so you can only bet on who wins the match and no in-between since it is a fight to the death. Does anyone think that it can be a good idea to bet on the fights that only the writers know who will win?

Edit: I didn't mean a large scale betting it is more of an informal, like how you do a bet with your friends and nothing more than that.
Maybe that games are not used for gambling, but maybe that will happen in the future as the gambling industry grows fast in this era and the gambling owner can have many new ideas on what they can use to have a new gambling game. But if that games can be used for gambling and only the writers know who will win, I guess that will not be good as the match can be set by them and win the character or players they like. That will not be fair for people who play that games.

Didn't know about this, I just assumed that they are all strict since Islam is a strict religion that has been following their Qur'an for a long time, not meaning to offend but being more liberal even though your primary faith is strict is a progressive thing to do.
But if that is about gambling, I think the government will not let gambling allow in their country because that can break their rule. Gambling is haram in their country, but we do not know if their people do not play gambling publicly because that can attract the officer to arrest them. Islam is a strict religion and if there something that is not matched with their Qur'an or Hadist, they will not tolerate it. But we do not know more about that, and maybe we need to wait for the next news from them so we know what happens in that country.
6454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This happened many months ago but still wanted to share. on: May 04, 2021, 01:45:29 PM
I think gambling sites need to be carefully monitored for bonuses and deposits before betting on them. Then I would not fall into such a bad situation its activities are very complex before betting you must take a detailed look at the game before betting see how many points a team has how much profit will be made by betting which team will play better what are the options etc. Then place your bet it can be used to determine the amount of dollars.
If you can be like that, I think you can become a wise gambler who knows the situations and you will not force yourself to continue betting if the moment is not right for you. It is what we need to react in betting so we do not fall into such a bad situation which can happen at any time. The more information that we can get before we place the bet, the more chances we can see how big the percentage that we can win so we do not try to place a blind bet. That can help us to manage our money that we want to use to betting.
6455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you limit your gambling time? on: May 04, 2021, 12:38:29 PM
gambling is a trap for people who has greedy attitude and those who are desperate to want a faster increase in life.
Obviously, but we can't blame gambling for that as gambling exists for the purpose of entertainment, so as a gambler, we should be aware of the risk and in order to get away of the risk of getting addicted, then we follow the basic requirement which is to be responsible.

It sounds so simple but I know there are people who struggle doing it, but it's their fault, not gambling, and in the first place they should not gamble at all since they don't have the discipline.

It is not really greed IMHO, it is more like a click in some people´s brain that lead them to feel a strong stimulus when winning and not much of a pain when they loose. They appreciate two equivalent events differently so earning 50 makes them very happy and loosing 50 does not make them sad. Thus, an advice is to limit your gamble time, for example, gamble 1 hour a day and make sure that you can do so sustainability within your budget.
That still greed because they got a strong stimulus when winning and wanting to make more money than the money they already got before. They do not remember that enough is enough and if they are still trying to make more money, they must know the consequences of gambling. Maybe some of them will not feel much pain but for the others, losing their winning will be a pain in their head but they can not do anything even if they are trying to recover from their losses and chase their winning before.

Human will found many ways about how to make money and they use slapping tournament to make money. Yes, that is a brutal tournament for some people.

6457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What age bracket is perfect for gambling on: May 01, 2021, 05:43:08 PM
Every country do have rules regarding to gambling, what age a citizen is allow legally to gamble. But to me, Gambling involved so many risk, and should be played only by people who are mature enough to manage risk.

I dont support under age gambling, because when a child of about 12 years start gambling, what future is that child creating for him/her self.Parent should be extra careful about their children, lecture them the side effects of gambling and the spirit to say no to it.
Gambling is highly addictive, even for a adult. Age is just a factor, the important is a person knows the risk of gambling and can afford the risk, if a person can do this, then i think even his/her age under legal gambling age, he/she can gambling.
I am sure no matter if that gambler is an adult or teenager, he will not become addicted instead of controlling his emotion if he gets win or loss if he can have good control in gambling. But gambling better played for an adult because they already mature and know about how they need to do in the current situations. An adult people can think wise than the teenager, although not all adult people can do that. But maybe gambling will be okay to play by people who already reach more than 20 years old.
6458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Internet connectivity - Gambling wins/losses on: May 01, 2021, 04:46:35 PM
I only use a mobile internet connection to my laptop, but I always check the connection by pinging to some website to check how the connection is. But so far, I do not have trouble and the connection run smooth. Playing gambling does not need a high-speed internet connection, but some gambling games that need an image will need a good internet connection. I feel annoyed if I see a lack of time to opening the website or it takes seconds to load a full page. But so far, I can hande it.

I agree that playing online gambling does not require an internet connection that is too fast, but requires a stable internet connection.
My experience using a mobile internet connection has a few problems, because the mobile internet has a shortage of instability,
sometimes it is affected by  the weather and the number of users in the area. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for a full page to load,
and if that happens a little bit annoys me. Therefore I prefer to use cable internet over fiber optic, which has proven to be more stable.
Sometimes, I've got a problem with my internet connection, and I am tried to complain to the provider but they can not do anything except check the connection. That makes me annoyed if I lack the internet connection because no matter if that is because mobile internet connection or a fiber optic internet connection, we will sometimes face a loss in the connection. But if I have that problem, I will close the tab in the browser and shut down my computer or close my mobile phone because I do not want to feel bad.
6459  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are females welcomed in gambling thread? on: May 01, 2021, 11:57:09 AM
As time goes by, technology has become more modern, women can exercise the freedom they have with just a gadget, the majority of people in this modern era, of course, have many who have smart phones. Currently, many women like challenges like those carried out by men, for example, currently there are many women who like challenging online games, they can easily access everything online, as well as online gambling, of course many women are starting to like online gambling because it can be done without having to be known by people around
Maybe that thing needs an open mind from males that the era is changed and gender differential is not strange. If males can accept that, I think the gender differential will not be a problem. But we should think about a culture in a country that still not allow females to change their lifestyle into a modern lifestyle. But it would back to every people perception.

Yes, this sometimes happens, there is a striking gender difference and it is considered that women are not right in the crypto world, especially or in certain jobs. Sometimes they say that the female is weak.
Even though at least, women have the same rights in this crypto world. Even though emotionally and mentally, women may be less stable than men in general. However, it does not mean that they are all the same. There are also many women who can control and use good emotional management, especially when gambling, especially when it comes to "money" where usually women are more careful about this one thing.
Many women are now involved in crypto, whether they are using crypto secretly or telling people around them. I think if it is about using crypto, that will not be a problem. But if that is for gambling, hm I do not think that some women can show it to the public because it depends on how their environment can accept that fact.

I agree that women have the same rights in this crypto world and that will not stop them to use crypto because crypto is for all people who want to use it. Crypto is not about gender but some people have busy judging that crypto is only for men. But I think emotional management will be necessary for gambling and all of them must have it.

Maybe we can give Biden more time as we are still at the pandemic, which we never know when it will end. If Biden can give his best to his citizen, I think that can lift his popularity and be elected in the next Presidential election. Biden was tested in this pandemic, whether he can do his jobs by a concern to help the people and save them or he can not works as what he said in the election before. We hope that Biden can work and do many things for his people while Harris can help Biden's works so, in the next election, Harris can be known as one of many people who helps the people.
