Gambling starts to be less fun and very serious when you create a mindset of getting a steady income from it, I always say that if people truly understand the existence of gambling they won't tale it very seriously, it's a shame to see many people spending lots of money on gambling as if it's an investment option.

All you can do when something is all about luck is to try, there is nothing here to keep pushing hard at, this is not your business where discounts can attract more customers to your office, this is not Bitcoin investment where you can't lose your money unless you sell and take your loss.

Gambling analysis in sports games like football is not a strategy because it doesn't work most times, the luck part of gambling is always too powerful, gambling and strategy is crap, even if it works today it's luck, you don't believe me? Try again some other time, you will get your answer.

It took me quite a long time to understand that nothing is really free, to the least you will be giving away your time. If you don't find whatever you do worthy of your time, don't do it.
Time is money. This is the one thing that's always on my mind. Whenever I wake up in the morning, I always think of the things that I must do on that day, and will make me productive if I do that thing/s. For example, if I work on that day, that makes me productive.

There's no such thing as free money in this world. If only there is, we might not see poor people anymore. We aren't living in a Utopia, but we are living in a cruel world where you need something to get something in return.

Ppc, faucets and such are waste of time to earn money. If you put the same amount of time in learning some valuable skill you will earn better.
Maybe it's time to add bounty campaigns in the list, eh?

I mean for me, it's a waste of time joining into bounty campaigns already. I'm pertaining to those bounty campaigns that're paying the participants with their own native tokens. You will advertise the project, and in return you will be paid a few bucks... ohhh wait if you're lucky, you will be paid. Some if not most of the bounty campaigns aren't paying the participants, and if they are being paid, sometimes that token doesn't have any value at all. Quite unfortunate TBH.
Not yet, Bounties are still paying real money but not enough, the allocations are not worth is anymore so bounties are slowly fading away, there are few bounties that are still worth giving a try, like those projects from Julerz12, they aren't that bad, I can also see few casino campaigns paying with USDT, I believe this is better than Airdrops today.

If you are very good with finding altcoin gems I believe you will be able to avoid crap list of bounties in altcoin bounties section of the forum, for someone like me it's a piece of cake as I can easily filter the bad ones among the few good bounties.

The best bounty I saw in the altcoin section was Cocos that was renamed to Combo, that project did well in last bull market, follow the likes of Vulcan Forged and Alchemy Pay.

Maybe by next year, new projects will show up on the forum, but honestly, alts bounties are the those who are strong at the mind, many will turn to shit and few will do very well, it depend on if you are ready to take the risk.
723  Economy / Gambling discussion / Credit card gambling fuels gambling addiction on: September 26, 2023, 09:08:39 AM
I don't know how deep the debt on credit card gambling is today until I do my own research and mehn, and it's very sad, many people are in debt because they keep using their credit cards to fund their gambling hunger.

Imagine someone you know telling you that it will take him 12 years to pay off his debt, I now know why few countries don't want their citizens to gamble using their credit cards,  betting on credit cards has left too many people in thousands of debt.

Which makes me think that Credit card is far more helping to fuel gambling addiction more than anything else, you don't actually have the money, but you can still gamble, this alone will make people to lose their minds and gamble anyhow.

I'm glad I don't even like using Credit cards for gambling and my reason isn't even because of possible reckless gambling but because I don't like centralized payment solutions, you should stay away from using Credit card to gamble online, it sure would easily throw you out in the street, homeless.

724  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Australia will ban Gambling through credit cards on: September 26, 2023, 08:30:43 AM
How many people are gambling using credit cards? They should try banning gambling through crypto as well if truly they want to stop their people from gambling, many gamblers around the world don't like using credit card for gambling , it's not private.

I remember in 2020 the UK gambling commission also announced a ban on credit cards for gambling payments, they claimed that some gamblers with higher level of debts are using credit cards to facilitate their gambling behaviours, I believe gamblers are gambling with borrowed money which is at a high alarming rate. 

I think the same thing is happening in Australia right now, so yes I don't see anything wrong about this ban on Credit cards, they have given such gamblers a name, the problem gamblers, they believe that gambling with credit cards will lead to financial problem, too many people are in debt via loan platforms and credit card.
725  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It is only Bitcoin and nothing else on: September 26, 2023, 07:48:45 AM
I don't always care about the past, what is gone is gone, the only time I feel sad about my past is because it involved a lot life, I miss my father and I wish he is still here, but for anything financial, there is no point holding on to the past.

Also, those of you complaining about a coin that turned shit, would you do the same if the opposite happened? If LUNA never collapsed and it turn holders into big whales today will you all be out here complaining?

Why are we hearing about the dead coins? What about those that are still very good right even while bears are taking over the market? Any Polygon whale on here? It's was 0.004$ per Polygon years ago and holding till date still makes you a whale isn't it?

People tend to complain only when things are not going fine, we should learn to share the happy stuffs on here too, many alts are crap but not all of them will fail, you can't rely on a single coin and call it a crypto portfolio.
726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling on: September 25, 2023, 10:21:20 AM
There is a mistake that some people make when they want to gamble at a casino, they plan to risk $30 for example and they go ahead and make a larger deposit, why a larger deposit when you aren't ready to lose all that money?

Even if you have $30 to risk in mind, since your Bankroll is more than $30 you will end up using more money to gamble, you can't make plans in mind, the mind is different from being disciplined, being disciplined leads to the right actions.

If $30 is all you can right then deposit only that amount on the casino, if you lose all that money it's better, you can feel bitter but that's for the day or week, you should be able to easily shut down your computer and walk away, but if you have a larger bankroll waiting in your balance, you will be easily tempt to use more money to gamble on that same day.
727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the Difference Between Plying Gambling on Online Sites and Real Casinos? on: September 25, 2023, 08:04:33 AM
I've never liked a casino that's based offline because of a few things that have happened in my street before, Violence and fights in a gambling den have caused some law enforcement agencies to raid some casinos before and I don't like it.

Gangs and criminals also visit casinos and to me, it's not safe to be around such people, you can make a lot of money and they will mark your face, some have forcefully asked a guy to pay them half of the money he just won, and the guy refused, they stab him on the chest and this guy bleed to death, this happened a few years back, I am thinking it's the year 2020.

I've vowed to never visit any casino nearby to gamble in my life, thanks to advanced technology and the internet, I can become a gambler without anyone knowing that I am a gambler, and also people are used to degrading you as a gambler, they believe you are on a journey of no return, that you will end up destroying your life, nothing is better than gambling online and responsibly.
728  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Accumulating Bitcoin with ease on: September 25, 2023, 07:33:59 AM
I don't need to confuse anyone to pay me in Bitcoin because not everyone have Bitcoin in their wallet, not everyone cares having Bitcoin in my country, and those that do want to hold their Bitcoin for long term, they treasure it more than spending it like money.

As per your point, if I have a specialty or a skill then that's more than enough for me to start accumulating Bitcoin, I won't mind getting paid in Fiat/Paper money, I will just have to use the money to purchase Bitcoin, Viola! I am now a Bitcoin holder.

To all readers out there, you don't have to work for someone and except them to pay you in Bitcoin before you start holding some Bitcoin, if you have no job, go out and learn a skill then start using some percentage of the money you make to accumulate Bitcoin.

I am a fashion designer and I use to accept Bitcoin as payment, but not all my customers like paying me with Bitcoin, only very few numbers of people do, like four to five of them, and they are also investors, they prefer to hold and there are times they said I will have to get paid in Fiat for now, still I don't let this stop me from my DCA ( Dollar Cost Averaging ) every week, I can get paid in Fiat, no problem, but I will just visit Binance exchange and swap my Fiat to Bitcoin.
729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Tax Efficient With Your Gambling Habbits? on: September 25, 2023, 06:29:52 AM
Are people really paying tax on the money they won from casinos? If this is possible then it's illegal, maybe some group of people are illegally taking tax from gamblers on their wins without been authorized by the government.

In my country many illegal taxes are being paid by the people, and that's because many people don't know their rights, they aren't educated and some who are even educated are dumb like zombies.

Several cases later got busted after many people have paid some official workers illegally, see everyone is fighting for their own good, either illegal or legal they don't care, if you are tax for winning money on casinos you should seek help from a lawyer, or get a police man and ask him, they will bring light to this for you, it might be illegal and some group of people might be behind it, even government workers are doing illegal activities using the government names.

Be a wise being.
730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it on: September 24, 2023, 04:06:21 PM
For some people, gambling is a good thing, but for others, it's a bad thing. It's a matter of choice and you don't have to endure it. If you feel gambling will ruin you, you ought to stay far from it. If you believe gambling can get you somewhere, you run the risk of losing your head to addiction, but you can benefit from it in the long run if you can control yourself.

There is no need to argue about which side is better, we have different mindsets so everyone is free to make a choice. For someone like me, I prefer to gamble once in a while and I believe that this is what should happen, since constant gambling is what causes the mind to form false expectations.

There are few things in the crypto world that are more reliable for making money than gambling, so gamble when you have the spare money, and don't expect to win either way. Crypto investment, trading, and bitcoin mining, for instance, require skills and time, not luck, so I prefer to be addicted to them more than gambling.

Outhue.
731  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No KYC vs KYC enabled casinos (Facts you need to know) on: September 24, 2023, 01:03:50 PM
The only fact that everyone needs to know about No KYC casinos is they are probably into illegal activities like frauds and money laundering.

Normal every good online casinos is to be registered, to avoid money laundering and crime activities through the platform, a new casino can start as a no kyc platform but they will eventually start asking for KYC, unless the team have some plans to stay out of the law radar but such online casinos are not good for customers.

You can become a victim of fraud easily to no kyc casinos because they mostly are not operating under the law, they are not regulated or pass any legal source to start running the business, the earlier you know the better.

If the no kyc casino is a good one, they will one day start to ask for KYC, that day will come as they will want to grow bigger in the future too, expand their business, and that's how they will have to go by the book and do the necessary things to stay in business.
732  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: No matter the pressure don't release on: September 24, 2023, 12:13:13 PM
If you are a newbie in crypto space, you need to be guide on how to go with p2p transactions on exchanges, not all crypto exchanges give good guidance, I do like how binance do it's thing but still, Binance isn't a real peer to peer crypto exchange, since you will be asked to pass your KYC information, I don't like the idea but there aren't too many good p2p services online this days, most are centralized in disguise.

No one should have a problem with transacting online unless they don't follow the rules, I've never lost money on any p2p platform except for Paxful, they have bad customer service and their network sucks, I heard from a friend that they have improved, it's been several years that I used that platform last.

The most important tricks that people play online with P2P trades is wasting your time, making you lose your patience, or sending you fake alert, before you release crypto for anyone, make sure you log into your bank account and make sure they paid the expected fund before clicking on fund received or you will lose your money, p2p trades requires your patient.
733  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When Gamblers Fail to Read a Casino's Terms and Conditions on: September 24, 2023, 11:02:39 AM
I am not supporting any side, because it's true that some people put all blames on casinos while they are the ones at fault, they don't take their time to read through gambling websites' Terms of Service, but some casinos intentionally use TOS to cheat their customers, they adjust rules in Tos without sending notifications to all all their customers, and they will wait patiently till you break that rules and you will be the one at fault.

Both sides are to be blamed in this case because casinos do cheat and customers do break the rules and blame the casino for it.

I don't like reading Tos myself too because its frustrating as times but I forced myself to because I don't want nonsense later on, I have found myself using screenshots to take pictures of their rules just in case they change them later without telling us.

Laziness can get you punished when using a gambling platform or even a crypto exchange platform for the first time, so I advise we get used to reading the rules of every online casinos before using the platform.
734  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: September 23, 2023, 10:59:31 AM
I could remember when I was young, my father always warn me to stay away from gambling, he said it will destroy you fast and he also made mention of some family members who ruined their lives with gambling addiction, he strongly believed that it will mess me up if I go into it, and thankfully, he saw an hope in Bitcoin investment, my father never act like old people do, we all know that older people believes less in technology but not my father, he made me, I am who I am today because of him, even when Bitcoin was just hundreds of dollars in value, my father believed that Bitcoin will work, till this day I am still surprised that my father thinks differently, like he knew something about Bitcoin's future.

I believe its a bad habit to gamble in from of your kids, they are too smart for everything, they catches every move around them, good or bad, your environment is what will reshape your children.

When I was 10 years old, I nearly turned into a smoker, because I have an uncle who was one, I was spending holiday with his family then and I felt like trying it out, because I thought it's cool to smoke some cigarettes, I tried it and my father dealt with me for doing it and he stopped me from visiting my uncle again, he died before my father and the cause was cancer.
735  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hate speech and it impacts on bitcoin on: September 23, 2023, 10:08:43 AM
Ignorant is a big disease, if anyone hates Bitcoin it's because they know nothing about it or they are in the governments office, making decisions that only benefits centralization, normal people living around me today have no knowledge about technology, when something like Bitcoin can give you money, they call it a scam or Ponzi, without them trying to figure out what Bitcoin truly is.

My message to such people is to keep hating, since I've knew about Bitcoin there are countless of hate speeches from people, even from popular figures in the world, but the smart ones later started buying Bitcoin and took their hate speech back, like seriously, you can't or shouldn't judge what you don't understand.

Some set of people lacks the courage to change their lives, when they see challenges or failure from anything online, to them, automatically everything online and the internet is a scam, they don't even bother to learn from their own mistakes, sadly there is no way to change their minds, the world will ways be full of such people.
736  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: September 23, 2023, 09:20:50 AM
Gambling can affects your relationship if you are a stupid gambler who don't have any gambling boundaries, who is less responsible and only think about becoming a millionaire through gambling, there is 1000 percent chance that the gamblers plan will fail and he will end up broke, this is why a gambler must learn how to gamble safely and responsibly, so that even if the gambling journey doesn't end well you will have other things going on in your life financially.

Everyone understands the risk but they fail to take it serious, I've seen few gamblers knowing how risky gambling is but they still end up getting nailed to the wall because of gambling, if they truly understand the risk why did they end up like that?

Gambling addiction comes with a lot of bad results, you will lose your best friends and your loved ones, you will end up be alone, because they are there warning you about gambling, trying to stop you from addiction, but you aren't helping yourself.
737  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Warning] Don't share your casino account! on: September 23, 2023, 08:38:27 AM
Thanks for sharing this @coin trader, I've get multiple PM myself and till today I still wonder what they plan to do, I never give them the chance because I don't like the idea, it doesn't sound legit to me, its like there is more they are hiding, since I don't like free things and easy money I always feel like I will get used if I open door for them, moreover they are all strangers, they can't have anything good in mind for another stranger like themselves, so I believe they are looking for a way to use me.

I have also received a PM from strangers mostly through telegram asking for my crypto exchange account, the question is what's stopping them from creating their own account on the exchange.

I believe they are criminals, looking forward to use people space and make the account owner the look like the culprit, it's not a sin to get rid of strangers from your life, it's one out of hundreds of them that have good things in mind for others, avoid getting used by strangers.
738  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin kwoledge is not complete without bitcoin investment on: September 21, 2023, 06:56:37 AM
Leave the experimental side of investment for the later, I spend months after months for learning Bitcoin and other necessary things, if you lack money you will have to work or get a job first before you can invest in Bitcoin, so it's not something everyone can rush.

I used almost a year to learn about bitcoin and I have never thought of wasting my time because I don't have money to invest yet, those who don't have money are still welcome to participate in crypto, they can start with testnet experiments or move into airdrops, there are still free ways of earning coins so having money doesn't mean you are not welcome.

Some people have all the money,  such people are still not fit to invest in Bitcoin because they don't have the knowledge, either you have the money or not, you have to seek for knowledge first.

I've had the best luck, the fastest withdrawal and deposits from https://www.bitcoincasino.us/ they do require a 3x wager of amount deposit but the cash out immediately. What do any of you think?
Yeah , your luck makes you forget this thread completely, because right after posting you also gone and never even supported your claim of how you become lucky in this site.
sorry to ask but are you lucky because they Paid you for shilling like this?have you already got your payment right after this thread?
I've had the best luck, the fastest withdrawal and deposits from https://www.bitcoincasino.us/ they do require a 3x wager of amount deposit but the cash out immediately. What do any of you think?
Most likely the casino link you provided has an error due to which I could not access the casino site. However, before working with casino sites, you should pay attention to its reliability. Nowadays there are many fraudulent casino sites and hundreds of people are cheated by these casino sites. Therefore, you should not open an account except on a trusted casino site online.
how I wish OP has even a small interest to come back and give His answer or even opinion in all matters here.
After reading the original post myself I was curious to know who this person is so I viewed his profile only to find out that he is not active anymore, it seems the main reason why this person created his account was to shill about bitcoincasino.us only, I have seen so many newbie accounts doing the same thing, and I do like sending them PM, telling them about how much of their time they are wasting.

Maybe this person is even the owner of that casino? The link is not working anyway but it seems like he is trying to make victims out of people on this forum, they know what they are doing, they are just pretending.


Sorry if you aren't going to like this but I don't like points that lacks the truth, some people wears signature of casino platforms and they have never use the casino themselves, they are in to get paid, this is not hard to say because it's the truth, just because someone is promoting a project doesn't make them an investor or customer either.

The difference here is if the casino is scam-related, you will be warned for promoting such platform and also, the casino ANN will receive red color tag from different people on here and if you still don't change the signature and find a reliable project to promote, you will also be painted red.

There are some casinos on this forum that have been working for many years and till date some members are still wearing their signature banner and they still manage to maintain a good reputation till today.
That's right, it's barely the case that when a member in this forum is wearing a signature or a banner of a casino platform or any platform it means that they are also a member of that platform. People are not forced to join the platform for being a part of their signature campaign unless a signature campaigns has a rule where the participants will have to create accounts on the platform as their payments will be sent on their accounts in there.

But that is not always the case, since the time I've joined the forum, I've been a part of a lot of signature campaigns but I wasn't a customer of their services all the time. Maybe sometimes we are already a member of a casino platform and then it starts running a signature campaign in here but that's a totally different thing.
It is true that what you say is true because every member who participates in the signature campaign may not necessarily be loyal and is truly willing to spend most of their gambling budget to play on the platform they participate in the campaign but there are also some members who do not participate in the campaign but they are very generous to the site or platform.
Here if were talking about the OP it actually like he offering or promoting the site he uses but we don't know what his real purpose is because he also disappeared from the thread and don't coming back.

Yes that normal because you as a gambler of course also have a favorite place or site but when you take part in a campaign it would be better to also use that platform to gamble even if it only for a small amount of money because after all you have to always know and understand everything developments from the platforms their.
Loyalty of gambling on a casino is not needed to join their signature campaign, follow their rules and complete your work for the week to get paid is all you have to do, using the gambling platform as a promoter to gamble is not compulsory, if it is, it will be included in the bounty rules, so your definition of loyalty because you don't gamble on the casino you are promoting makes no sense, it's not a must.

Get a lawyer, write a will, go the official way, there is no better advice than this for your situation, that's if you have trust issues but for me, I don't mind, because I have no trust issues, there is nothing that will go back with you when you passed, even if you will all your properties, those who get them might still waste them, such is life.

If you have children, make use of this time and teach them about crypto and Bitcoin, you still have the time, but first, ask them if they have interest, if one doesn't than Fiat is better passed down to such child, because even if you will him BTC he will sell it right away.

If you have no children but a spouse, husband or wife, then pass on the knowledge to them, willing BTC or private keys to them with out them having an idea can make them to throw the BTC away, while trying to sell or move the BTC around they can make bad mistakes or decisions.

Teach them about crypto first, so that they can make good use of your assets when you are here no more, many beginners have make a lot of mistakes because they lack knowledge about Bitcoin wallet and private keys.
