No- you are not wrong given that majority of the gambling websites require KYC as a pre-requisite for their registration.

Even if this may be the case, there are still some gambling websites that do not require KYC as a condition for registration. Though you somehow run on the risk of such gambling website being genuine or not.

Personally, I would prefer to submit my KYC documents to a designated gambling website that is authentic and genuine. This will at least give me that sense of security and peace of mind that even if they have my personal information, I am confident that they will keep it secured and private without any chance of breach on their part.

I agree with your statement- trust is what builds the reputation of a gambling website.

It takes years of trust and effort by the gambling company in order to build its reputation on the market. With all those efforts, it only takes 2-3 mistakes on their part (even one depending on the gravity of mistake) to destroy their hard-earned reputation as they will quickly lose their loyal player base in a matter of days. Unfortunately, there are dozens of gambling websites that take part in exit scams (Betnomi).

Though this may be the case, there are still lots of genuine gambling websites available in the market. While there may be better offers of bonuses/rewards from new casinos, it is still relatively safe and secure if you bet on a gambling casino which has been consistent with their service for years.

This is the lesson that everyone should remember- even if you are experiencing financial stability, one accident or situation may change the whole situation.

There was a similar story in the Philippines were journalists interviewed several previous lottery winners and asked about their current status. As far as I know, majority of these previous lottery winners went back to their previous lives- some were broke and others were just barely making it every month.

The problem lies with the initial excitement. I mean, of course it is normal to celebrate this kind of achievement as the money you receive can either make or break you. But without any proper financial management, eventually, all of those lottery money would go to waste.

Ohh this is very deceiving and definitely suspicious at the same time! The fact that scammers can prepare such task just to scam one person means that they are indeed very motivated to introduce more and more ways in order to gain an opportunity to get those funds.

As someone who have been scammed in the past, it is very important and essential for you to doubt everything. Anything that can be accessed in the internet is prone to scam due to its circumstances and nature- expect these scammers to introduce more ways in the future.

Remember that prevention is better than cure- it is thousands better to prevent yourself in putting in those kinds of situations. With that being said, thank you very much OP for sharing your experience as this will definitely inform everyone about this very deceiving act.

I am actually amazed that an 18-year old person can accumulate 1 BTC at their disposal. The fact that you also allocate your emergency fund implies that you know how to manage your finances. If I had that kind of money at my disposal when I was 18 years old, I would have most likely spent in on other stuff.

I really admire that you also know your priorities as young as 18 years old. You understand the mechanics and fundamentals of BTC and on how it can improive its price later on. Continue what you are doing OP and this will definitely reap rewards in the future.


The BTC halving that will happen this 2024 is one of those key moments that almost everyone is anticipating. With the price of BTC sitting comfortably around $29,000, there is a huge chance that its price may increase, thereby increasing almost everyones's value of BTC in that time.

I just hope I have your resilience and patience when it comes to these things. I am having a hard time managing my finances and I hope I can learn a thing or two from you, OP.

There have been dozens of topics being created in addressing gambling addiction but I do think that the only way to resolve this is to actually admit that you indeed suffer from it.

Suffering from any kind of addiction is difficult to change overnight. It is a process that must be followed faithfully by the person and he must be fully committed to change his/her habits from it. I really recommend that switching to another form of activity is a way to at least reduce the chances of a person being fully addicted to gambling.

At the end of the day, gambling addiction has become rampant ever since the pandemic happened. I just hope the government creates programs in order to proactively address these issues as it is slowly getting out of hand for some people.

I disagree- anyone can definitely start with a clean slate no matter how dreadful or hopeless their situation may be.

We always have the choice whether to accept the current circumstances or to move-on and start anew. Accepting that your life is just over just because you have lost majority of it is somehow a weak mindset. You always have to remain positive no matter how difficult the situation may be. Sure, you have lost every thing due to gambling but all hope is not lost. There are dozens of people who have fallen to this hole and most have came back up and regained their confidence. I also know some that were able to reconcile and start again with their families.

Again, gambling is destructive but even if you are on the deepest end, there is always hope for improvement and change.

This is more of a legitimate move for their gambling company to offer bonuses to betnomi victims. Since almost all of the betnomi victims are now looking for a new gambling website, this is the perfect opportunity for Trust Dice to enter the scene and provide bonuses for them.

At the end, the amount of profit would outweigh the bonuses given away. Like what most have mentioned, this is a win-win situation for both the players and the gambling company itself.

It just saddens me to see another gambling company be dominated by green and scam their loyal members after everything they have wagered. I guess nothing is truly safe in the internet and crypto sphere in the long run.

I definitely agree with your statement.

KYC documents are essential elements of privacy and identity of a person. Blindly giving it away to someone you know little can put you at risk of identity theft and breached security. If you are planning on submitting your KYC documents, make sure you have done your research and decided that you are fully committing to this website.

Remember that KYC documents are one of the few requisites that most gambling websites ask. That is why it is better to actually decide which gambling website you are willing to submit it.

I remember there was a quote that said: you may have won the battle, but we have won the war; but everyone lost.

This quote really hits deep when you think about the consequences of war both in the winner and on the loser side. Sure, the winner may have won but at what cost? Money on ammunition, explosives, etc. have been used; lives were lost; and the economic impact which would therefore last for ages would soon hit the country.

In war, the only one that benefits is actually no one. Everyone is lost during the war due to its overall impact to everyone,

Just to add from what you have mentioned, following and observing the forum rules is extremely essential in order to prevent yourself from getting banned. I also recommend that you also utilize the search bar in the forum to ask anything in particular. This also helps in avoiding multiple threads that have the same question, which was already answered already.

Lastly, I also recommend that you enjoy your journey without rushing things quickly. The journey of BTC is going to be the most fun that you would experience and it is also going to be a wild ride! Best of luck, OP!

This is the potential dangers of gambling- it gives you this sense of accomplishment whenever you win an amount of money. It somehow fools you into thinking that such venture can be profitable but in reality it is not.

Experienced gamblers often have the tools in order to prevent from getting too addicted. Even if they do know what to do, they are still victims of a risky venture. As far as I know, these experienced gamblers view gambling as something that must be done rather than a form of entertainment. With this, they can shift their priority and prevent themselves from getting too addicted in the first place.

Just to clear your thread, you are asking which is risker- either investing in BTC or gambling?

To answer your question, gambling is the riskiest venture that a person can enter into. No matter how experienced you may be, you are against the odds which cannot be controlled. Sure, there may be techniques and tips in order to lessen the risk but the odds are still the odds.

Some may argue that investing is gambling in itself due to the unpredictability of the result. Though this is true, it only applies to a certain extent since there are methods and factors that can somehow give you an accurate forecast on the price of BTC on the market.

While we may have our respective rights, this should be respected and used in a way so as not to distract and hinder other people as well. Sure, the person may have won something or be in a good mood but such action does not justify on why he bothered and annoyed other casino members as well.

This kind of behaviour can be considered normal depending on the country where you are staying but it is just truly weird and frightening at the same time. Who knows what other bizarre actions the person may do when he is in a good mood or when he breaks his limits in the future.

When I first started my journey way back in 2017, I pretty knew nothing much about BTC. I just discovered this forum when my friend told me the opportunities of earning money online while enjoying the convenience of doing it on my personal and free time.


My knowledge and understanding about cryptocurrencies (BTC) had grown extensively. Before, I used to be this guy who was just focusing on earning but when I understood the potential of applying cryptocurrencies as alternative payments, my curiosity filled with excitement. I will not say that I am somewhat of a pro- but at least I have a good grasp on the fundamentals of it.


INVEST! While others may contemplate the time on when to invest, I usually tell newcomers that the best time to invest is when you actually discovered the existence of BTC. The reason is simple- by basing it purely on the history of the price of BTC, you would see a pattern/trend where its price continually increases (while occasionally decreases) on the market.


Probably one the memorable experience was when I attended this conference in our country when USI-TECH visited. I was not aware of the existence of these so-called "ponzi-schemes" so my young-self got influenced easily and lost a bunch of BTCs worth $100.

This experience really taught me the valuable lesson of being aware. This also inspired me to become a person who advocates in providing a clean and scam-free forum.


The journey of acceptance of BTC had come a long way. When it was first released, only a few believed and understood the potential of the system. This is also the reason on why at least majority of the users know the 10,000 BTC pizza story.

The help of BTC personally is greatly appreciated given the fact that earning through signature campaigns is one of the most efficient ways of earning money in my country. While the value of money is relative, as someone who is living in a third-world country, every dollar counts.

There are these so-called "merit sources" that are granted by theymos a specific number of merits (no specific timeframe on when) to be distributed among the users. They are called sources because they have established their credibility on the forum in creating multiple helpful threads and other relevant topics/discussions.

From what I remember, every local board has at least 1-2 merit sources that distributes these merits to the users. They are also tasked to exhaust these merits in order to help and give incentive those people who are contributing greatly to the forum.

In conclusion, if all forum users exhausted their sMerits, then merit sources would be granted an additional set of sMerits which would be distributed again on the forum users.

Generally, predictions are personal in nature where you are the ones who had created them. Most of the predictions made by gamblers are carefully planned and thought about by considering several factors that can affect the outcome of the game. While some may find it weird, I think the gambler is completely in the right in refusing to share his detailed information by re-betting his current one.

I agree- again, bets are personal in nature and they should only be casted by the gambler himself. But if the person asking for the re-betting is someone close to me, then I would consider re-betting in by considering the circumstances of the situation.

Neither of those choices- I only bet which is included on the extent of the limit that I allow myself to gamble.

Most of the time, I only set a limit to the extent on how much I should gamble a day. Setting a potential limit for winnings is very dangerous as it may lead to a person chasing profits in a very risky and undesirable circumstances.

For example, if a person has a goal of earning $100 in gambling, earning such amount can be relatively difficult especially if that person has a limited budget. Not to mention, there is that risk of losing more than what you have earned in the process.
