Legal action for $500? It will most likely cost you more than that $500 to claim them. To begin with, the site does not have a ToS or an "About Us" where the company number is stated, where it is located, etc. It sounds to me that it is based somewhere in Asia (I could be wrong). So, hiring a lawyer from your country to claim that $500 intercontinentally I don't know how much it could be but it's not like a simple lawsuit against a website from your own country, it's going to be very expensive.

I had not seen this thread and it seems to me that things have been taken out of context. Addiction has to do with not being able to stop doing an activity despite the negative consequences and as far as we know Neymar has not squandered his fortune playing poker. The 6-month-old daughter doesn't even know what's going on, and if instead of playing poker he was giving likes on Instagram we wouldn't be talking about it.


I agree with this, and if he has been playing poker since 2014, having a net worth currently of $250M, poker is no problem for him.

What if I use Bitcoin to exchange it for a shitcoin, and I use those shitcoins to buy Bitcoin again?


This. In the end, legislation will prohibit any movement of funds that is not perfectly identified KYC, as a bank transaction, regardless of whether it is from Bitcoin to Bitcoin or with shitcoins in between. I have been saying this for a long time and have been barked at for it, but anyone who does not see the way this is going is willfully blind.

Because I see one that has been running on the forum for 4 years and should have been banned long before mixers were banned. I don't know if it's because it doesn't run a signature campaign that it doesn't attract so much attention and that's why it's still being advertised. Besides, at the rate we are going it seems that the forum is going to ban everything that offers privacy, such as non-kyc casinos, which can be used for mixing as well.

Not that I personally have anything against the service, but it is striking to me that any service that remotely resembles a mixer is not allowed and this one is.

At least the OP has had a good idea and used the money won responsibly, with so many gamblers who when they win think they are on a roll and keep betting to lose what they have won and more.


I don't think it's a question of being an old gambler or not, but of having knowledge. Many times you are not going to win, so when you win a significant amount it is better to take it out of the casino and spend it on something useful.

Well, I don't want to get too much into the Covid issue, what I will say is that I think there was partial manipulation. Not that it was all a fabrication.

In this case of the alleged food shortage it reminds me of what happened with the emperor Commodus in Rome. He grew up with a slave who later became a freedman and by being a friend of his reached heights of power. Commodus was disengaged from power and this freedman one of the things he did was to provoke a food shortage, diverting the grain that came from Egypt to save it and later appear as the savior who alleviated the famine of the people.

With this I want to show that there are very old cases of politicians who offer to solve problems that they themselves create.

The so-called food shortage due to climate change is a scam. You only have to look at the agriculture of the Netherlands or Israel in the middle of a fucking desert to realize that if we stop victimizing stories and spreading panic among the population, current technology allows us to create food in abundance, in very adverse climates.

So far I have not done any KYC at crypto casinos, nor do I think I will.


This smells bad to me, and differs from the fiat casinos I have played at in that either you have to do the KYC before betting a single cent of real money or they let you bet a small amount but then you have to pass the KYC or they block your account and you can't continue betting until you pass it.

Why the hell wouldn't you be able to pass the KYC from the beginning?



It should not be like that, nowadays KYC is easy to pass both in casinos and financial institutions in a matter of seconds with your passport and taking selfies or videos.


That way of proceeding sounds more like a covert scam to me (not letting you do the KYC from the beginning, waiting until you have a big win and taking a long time to verify it).

The fees have come down quite a bit. It looks like the spammers have run out of either the desire or the money to overpay to get their images onto the blockchain. On the one hand it was clear that the most interesting thing for them was to put them in the halving blocks and nearby and on the other hand that the money does not last forever. Let's see if we get below 10 sats/vByte over the weekend.

A calculator that is not from Stake's official website, but from a website that has developed it to get visitors, in principle cannot be completely reliable. I don't know how legitimate it is to advertise itself as "Stake calculator" if it is not accurate and has no relationship with Stake.com.

I also reported it for the same reason and it is unhandled as well, just like other reports in the section. In my experience, moderators tend to take little action in that section, especially in cases like this. As it is a controversial section I imagine they fear a thread of complaint on Meta if they act.

Well, I'll sum it up for you. If you buy or program several bots (and you don't get caught) you can make a lot of money with no more effort or investment than the initial one. At the beginning the bots were very rudimentary and people like me who know how to play the game were able to win easily (the bots were only able to beat recreational players, also called "fish").

But they have been improving more and more, and with the use of AI I imagine that they are more and more indistinguishable from a good flesh and blood player.

So, if you buy or program several good bots you can make a lot of money. It would be something like being able to program several undetectable AIs that run Bitcointalk accounts and join signature campaigns.

As for whether it is popular, poker is becoming less and less popular. It boomed when Chris Monemaker, then an amateur, won the WSoP main event in 2003. His story became popular and made a lot of amateurs try it.

From then until Black Friday poker in 2011 the boom in popularity continued, and from then on it clearly declined. Regulations were introduced, with their taxes, which caused the houses to charge more rake and give less rakeback. Poker schools also became more popular, so the overall level went up and it became harder and harder to win. This made recreational players enjoy it less and less and look for other games, just as the houses themselves also encouraged them to try them. Even Pokerstars introduced casino games, something unthinkable in the golden age of poker.

The thing is that the houses prefer casino games because everyone is a net loser in the long run, while in poker, although the houses collect money from the commissions, the winning players withdraw money from the system, and they don't like that.

In online poker emotions do not matter. Those of us who play to win money try to stay away from them, and those who get carried away by emotions are fewer and fewer (especially compared to the golden era).

I couldn't have summed it up better myself. That's the dream, or rather nightmare, that I have. And it involves going in the opposite direction for which Bitcoin was created. But the bad thing is that I see a majority of people who are going to embrace this willingly.

Maybe because those feedback are 8 years old and two of them are untrusted?


This does seem to me to be a compelling reason.

Sometimes I see loans in the lending section that I don't understand, they seem to me like a bomb ready to explode, and in this case I'm not saying it for Shasan, but that's up to them, the one who lends the money and the one who receives it.

Dream on, OP. It's like asking if states can stop collecting taxes. The direction we're going is the opposite: states are increasingly taxing more and more, just as they are increasingly attacking privacy. We have no reason to think they are going to reverse their decision and start doing the opposite.

Aside from the technical issue, here's what happens:


If that were to happen, which is not going to happen, as things are now, the Bitcoin would only be used to buy stuff on the deep web and today it would not even be used to bet in casinos, since there are hardly any unlicensed casinos left, and with all the cryptocurrency alternatives there are, they would be forced not to accept bitcoin.


Something like that.

How are you going to win $100K starting from $54 playing slots? Even if the machine gives those prizes the probability is so small that you can spend your life betting without winning. It's a 20,000x, but if we think that you said you were making $0.20 bets, and you didn't say you were going to change the bet size, even more difficult.


When I have played slots I have done the same. I play as normal and since every once in a while they give you free spins I don't buy any bonus.

If in the end such a measure ended up being taken I don't think it would be a solution either, as someone who didn't want comments in their thread apart from their accusation and bumping it could make it self moderated and delete all replies, or the ones they don't like, which I wouldn't be surprised if Fuckingretardedraccer did.

So if measures were to be taken I think there would have to be two, not allowing lock threads in the section (at least with less than x comments) and not allowing self-moderated threads, as happens in Meta.

I prefer laptop. Most sites are adapted to cell phones and I see mostly young people betting with them but I prefer the wide screen of a computer. And if you want to play poker seriously it is a must to be able to play several tables and run the necessary software, like PTR. But even when I have played casino games, such as slots, which you can do quietly from the mobile, I have preferred laptop.

You seem to be the one who understands the legislation best, d5000.


Hopefully it will take a little longer. It would not be the first time that a moratorium is put in place because of how slow and inefficient the administration is, or even that legislation enters into force but in practice takes longer to implement.


Well, for nuance that is the upper limit for the whole EU. In Greece the cash limit payment is 500 euros (lol), in France and Spain it is 1,000, while in Belgium and Portugal it is 3,000.

With this, I am not so much concerned about the immediate future but where we are headed.

Nor was I going to do that. I have two of the 4 quoted in the OP on ignore. I was simply going to put the other two on ignore as well, but I didn't know about polo7 being a scammer with an active flag against him.


The quotes I have posted are not conclusive, they are just circumstantial evidence, but in the case of Polo7back I think he could be red tagged because he is so dumb that he used that nick (who else would use that nick?).

If we look at the threads opened by Polo7 in Economics they are of the same style:
