Maybe it was part of their terms or something? Like after a certain limit you just can't receive any bonuses anymore, and since you were pretty lucky, you were hit pretty early as well lmao. Casinos (and any marketing strategy really) often has those restrictions in a fine print at obscure areas so it's really hard to determine whether said restrictions exist in the first place most of the time so hey who knows, it may just be a natural thing though.

Still a great feeling since this might just be the few times a casino has to manually inform a player they hit their limit with bonuses though lmao.

Context lacks a lot imo since it's for a friend. We don't exactly have their situation at hand and what said business actually is. Look in my case, my dream business would be something along the lines of a game studio, and assuming that the needed ratio (75% on hand, 25% still missing) is pretty much the same as what I need (since game studios should be a lot more expensive than $20k), I'd definitely go doing both 1 and 2 since game studios don't exactly give immediate profits, unlike say cafeterias and the like.

Ofc, this could be remedied by sorting out your finances and splitting the money you get so that you can party invest and partly store your money, but again, depends on context. If we assume we can't do both then yea, I'd go with 2 instead, especially if you consider your words "over a long period", so I'm assuming that at the very least, that $5k can take a long time to be earned, what more that $15k you can lose.

Screenshots? Really? There are TX hashes, Balance statements, and other similar stuff and the one thing you had to make a point was Screenshots of your balance? Seriously? Is this your first day on the internet or something? Heck even if someone doesn't really use the internet that much they'd pretty much know not to trust screenshots.

And I wonder who the hell falls for those scams where they have XXXX amount in their wallet and talk to them to know how. Guess OP is one.

Yes and no. They're simply accounts that use bots to play the game, and due to how fast it cycles through, the live display pretty much shows them winning multiple times in a row. In reality, there's probably a bunch of losses in between those wins instead of it being concurrent wins.

As for two, I'd say it should be based on real-time data in reputable casinos at least. I wouldn't pull out that their fake though, new casinos probably do that to attract players into thinking some people actually play there as you've said. There might be some casinos that show the TX or something similar though and in those cases it's pretty easy to check whether the game actually happened or not though.

"Telling" them isn't going to do anything. They're humans, they have wants, and needs together with responsibilities. Now if no one actually educates them to understand that those come together in a bundle, it's rather inevitable that they're going to do something wrong. There's a world difference between telling them these things vs letting them understand.

The most effective way really is to have a family that can support them and educate them, but not all households are like that so other than that, there's nothing really. A being is shaped by their surroundings early on, and even if we do say they can filter out what they can and shouldn't take, by the time they understand such logic it might've been a tad bit too late.

But how would that work? Would there be additional measures to these "new" requirements that they would do? And in addition, wouldn't users just go to a casino without these strict requirements? Like crypto casinos for example. I hardly doubt they'd tell casinos to implement geoblocking for international ones, though if it was officially a law then it should work.

Unless they're able to provide a method where they can detect if the user is different from the id provided, I highly doubt they'd be able to prevent this. Even that method of having your face beside your ID selfie method isn't enough if there's some asses of a parents (or whoever is the real owner of the id) who just allows it.

Kinda funny how OP posted the site instead of a reliable source like coinmarket. Pretty sure that's already a red flag for investors since any of these websites can be artificially manipulated most of the time, and those without the knowhow don't even know how to check if the data pulled was from the devs ass or from an API of a legitimate exchange or something.

Though looking at the candles, if I got the right coin, it seems like the coin was indeed bought instead of front end manipulation, just that it was the devs who did that to artificially pump the price. Probably dumped it immediately once some idiots bought.

Well, it's not like the quote originated from him, afaik it's a pretty old ideology already? In addition, it's a really optimistic ideology. It's not like doing what you want can pay your bills all the time. Sure, if what you want is a niche that's famous or is useful, then yea, but what if it wasn't? What if it was extremely obscure? Things can become really hard in a matter of moments. Not that I'm contradicting with it though.

I mean I myself am doing work I truly enjoy and would probably not turn to other methods even if they bring in more money, but only because it can support me right now. If it couldn't, I probably would've already moved over to something else. But well, I guess it's an idea that a lot of people can believe in. There's probably a lot better opportunities nowadays as well compared to the past.

The past records are merely references to what could possibly be, they aren't exactly 100% guides to actually being able to read the future. You can say that the quote you indicated is indeed true, but it's not like it takes into account 100%, it's a zero-sum game, with that result, there were naturally people who were on the opposite spectrum and lost. Due to that, it's natural to see why erratic movement happens, because every investor often changes what they do.

While I do use history to judge the market, I don't exactly use it as a 100% basis for my decision. Well, I actually do DCA so whether I use it or not may not really matter much tbf, but anyway, I also use fundamental analysis, so it depends really. While I do trust it on some level, it doesn't sway my decision 100%.

Isn't this discussion better on Trading Discussion? I mean it's about gambling tokens, yes but it's still about the token market and not the token casino benefits.

DCA is the act of investing no matter the season of the market. The fact that you were waiting for the bear market to subside before even starting to DCA is already proof that you failed in doing it in the first place. Well I guess it isn't too late even if you start after the halving imo though. Not now though for this specific one though, as you said it just pumped after all.

Sadly I've never dabbled in crypto tokens before. The benefits don't entice me that much and I can gamble all the same with or without it after all. I think coinmarketcap has a list of gambling tokens? Not that I'm familiar with what's good but a quick scope shows that only RLB has a relatively positive price growth, the rest were up/down by 2-3% at most.

I'd say YouTube, Tiktok, and any other social media out there have a higher chance of making younger audiences susceptible to being unable to complete their education. Well making this off of a single video might be overreacting but hey, I've seen... things. More than enough to prove in my eyes that those things are poison for young kids.

Anyway, gambling can easily be seen as a pretty normal day-to-day activity if people know how to limit themselves. It's just like playing games. Playing games for say, 3,4 hours a day or 7,8 hours every weekend? Those are pretty normal imo. Playing 8 hours every damn day? Now that's an addiction (if you were a kid, if you were say a streamer then that's just part of the job). If parents have a problem with their kids having one, educate them, simple as that. It may take time, yes, but fixing anything ALWAYS takes time.

Well, yea, that's why they're brokers. I reckon the profit margin they have per customer is rather minimal though, but they adapted to that by having more customers instead. I mean brokers were possible because they have their own methods, maybe even internal groups that let them have these kinds of methods.

If they were shouldering risks, I doubt the existence of brokers would've even been possible. Well, they might have some other forms of risks that gambling itself may not have, not one so I can't really say but hey, I reckon there should be some sort, just not directly related to the gambling part itself. And as I've said, I reckon their profits are rather small as well so I guess that could be one risk.

That's the way it's supposed to go. You're supposed to enjoy the process itself, regardless of whatever method you use. While the results may vary (though you'd naturally enjoy if you win ofc), the process itself is straightforward since there are only so many of them and you can basically guarantee that you can do all of them. I've had some random wins in the past where I just randomly chose between two teams I absolutely have no idea about (since they were new on the official scene), and it was still fun. I rarely flex though cause I'd much rather tell the story about the tournament itself than my bet.

Anw congrats on the win!

Man, I haven't heard of TV in a long while. They're rather different from internet ads since afaik, ads in your browser are catered to what you mostly browse yourself through some magic that google does idk really how, but yea that's usually how I see it, while on TV, ads should be regulated depending on the channel you usually watch. Now if a channel was littered with gambling adverts, I reckon the channel itself is either deeply involved with sports or gambling.

Honestly if the issue was about gambling, just explain it to them, maybe even guide them if they wanted to. If they get a deep interest, beat the shitout of them (IN GAMBLING) even if you have to cheat just so that they know they'd always lose no matter what. A lot better than them doing it on their own without you knowing anything.

Same, but more like I just abhor using credit cards in general. Don't get me wrong, I get its appeal, but it all the more reason not to use it imo. It just seems like a dumb idea to normalize that setting where you can buy stuff whenever you want but be in debt because of it. Especially if you consider how most "stuff" falls into categories about you splurging, in this case, gambling even, which isn't wrong, but hell, I would never, ever take a loan to splurge for my entertainment. I can go a long way without a source of one if needed and there's also other sources of entertainment without needing to spend money.

P2P most likely. I don't think my funds would be compromised since I already have a mix of a hardware wallet and a locked desktop wallet in one of my spare laptops so those are safe, I rarely hold coins in exchanges so I don't think I'd be hit when they start banning users. It might be hard since I don't know much about p2p, but hey, not much we can do if they block access as well as exchanges recognizing the ban itself.

It's not exactly hard to bypass some geoblocking, especially if they weren't that strictly enforced plus there are a lot of tools that can help you stay anonymous if you want to (and if you know how to). Moving to another country might be an overkill for me though.

Or you don't have money lol. Gambling is an activity that requires it after all, I don't think anyone starts gambling with the mindset already that they don't want to be addicted or what, they're simply looking for a method to spend money and have fun, and gambling is probably one of those things.

Now most of what you've said isn't actually anything bad, spend time? That's the same for any activity you want to do really. Spend more money? I mean if you have enough then why not? The thrill increases depending on the scale anw (just don't go overboard at some point). Chances are always set in stone, but a bit lower on your side due to the house edge. Addiction is eh, it's more of a condition that involves money instead of gambling itself, you can call gambling the medium instead really. That's really up to the person to identify and fix.

Legally I don't think it's a problem unless the casiuno stated otherwise. You may come across problems with trying to explain to the person who used the machine prior to you though since, well, people are irrational, more noticeably so in casinos imo. I mean if cases like this can be legally attacked, I reckon arcades and the like would've been rather profitable for scammers.

So to avoid any major issues, you can simply wait, maybe call the attention of some staff and make sure they know you're playing on a machine with prior credits in it, making sure that there's no player out there who was playing on it for at least maybe 10 minutes? If there was, you can wait or maybe just straight up ask the staff to reset the credits itself so that the responsibility doesn't lie on you but on the casino themselves instead.

Is there anyone dumb enough to fall for this (Okay your friend counts, but still)? It's like sending money to a random bank account number that you typed by slamming your head into your keyboard. It's not even a scam, it's just them asking "Yo you got some money, can you give it here since you gamble it all anyway" kind of thing. If I were to describe it, well, it's relatively close to how a phishing link works, just that it's more specific.

Find your own casinos people. This is why I don't accept messages from unknown accounts. They're more likely to be scams than not.

I don't think you need to force crypto as a payment method using crypto, afaik there have already been quite a few (from what I know) websites that offer short tasks, especially in cases where it's only micropayments. You don't have to do all that shmuck about tokenomics, whitepaper, documentation, etc, and could just, well, proceed to create the site itself and promotions for it. You can still use crypto as a payment method, but you can use well known crypto as payments instead like Bitcoin, ETH, etc.

See here's the mistake in most people's thinking when they're creating a new project. It does not matter how much damn you give in your project, you're not the one investing, it's others, so stop with that self-hypnosis that the project would do good. It's also unrealistic how the project relies on investors before fully launching. At the very least, do a full launch, and then look for investors. We're way past that stage where people blindly invest in new projects imo.
