Would have been ok if those they get to stay longer are benefitting positively while spending their time on games. The benefit should be mutual, and not one way thing or just for the casinos. This is one of the reasons I think most games should be redesign in such a way that the players benefit positively while spending longer time than is necessary on them


Well said, but it seems impossible to me. The casino must make a profit, it comes from the loss of players. If players win, the casino will not make a profit, which means that it will not be able to pay taxes, rent, staff, and so on. In this case, the entire casino system should be redesigned, say, into food delivery. In that case, everything wins, but then it will no longer be a casino.

But what about the beloved Kanye West? America's savior from bad politicians.

I am for Trump, I like his methods and his behavior. However, apparently, his rating is not as high as before, due to all the crises that have fallen on him.
83  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The Face Mask Placebo on: July 23, 2020, 07:15:22 PM
It is so sad because the U.S is the only country in the world who see that the facemasks are  scam and it is bad for their health. It is the main reason why the deaths in the U.S reached 146,00 + and counting. Their citizens are most likely dumb because they cannot follow rules that the government implemented. The total cases there is now 4 Million and it keep increasing and the people out there see that the face masks are scam and ineffective. There are now a lot of researches around the world about how face masks can prevent us to have virus.

This is a very sad fact. In many countries, refusing to wear a mask entailed considerable fines, while people themselves understood the harm from this, but could not do anything due to political decisions.
They were not allowed to enter shops without a mask, and were scribbled on the street or in a public place. The pandemic and the methods applied to it have exposed many holes in current control systems.
Politicians have no idea what to do in such situations, because they are not doctors or engineers. What other decisions can you expect from them other than bad ones?
84  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you feel safe going outside? on: July 23, 2020, 07:05:17 PM
If you are wearing a mask and you always wash your hands then you don't have to worry. I myself do not want to go outside because there are assholes who are not wearing a mask and they do not care if they are infected or if they can infect. The lack of discipline is what makes this situation shittier.

Masks don't help. Infection occurs most often through mucous membranes, usually the eyes. Washing your hands and not touching your face is what you should do first.
Long-term wearing of the mask weakens your immunity and creates a favorable environment for bacteria to grow under the mask.

I think that the only positive thing about this virus is that nature have really taken a break from human intervention. This is the only plus for me. And also I want to add one negative point, that we have convinced once again that no matter how technologies develop in the sphere of medicine, this will always be insufficient.

May be. But I think this is a completely temporary effect. Now, after the "respite", humanity will start the consumption race with renewed vigor.
I am sure it will be much stronger than before. There are no prerequisites for people to slow down. You yourself noticed that this required a virus, but what will stop people now?
86  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: In what way can the crypto world help fight against Covid 19? on: July 21, 2020, 10:43:27 PM
Cryptocurrency projects are doing that possible best to joining effort in fighting this common enemy that threatens humanity. Binance made some good donations, and some others are on the forefront on sensitizing their various community. There is a project called Shengworld which produced some immune booster product that can help the body resist this disease.

There are a lot of similar projects, it's hard to say which one really works.
Indeed, according to one of the data, immunomodulating drugs, if used improperly, can disrupt the immune system and cause it to attack its own cells.
It is best to donate money to vaccine development organizations and those that are struggling with the effects of the epidemic.
87  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading, gambling and binary options. Which one you prefer? on: July 21, 2020, 10:05:48 PM
indeed some people make gambling their livelihood. but sooner or later they will fall deeper. and true, gambling is not something that is said to win or lose, but where when they get good luck and managed to go further than what was expected.

I agree. It is very difficult not to fall below when you are completely absorbed and give yourself up to gambling.
Without connection with the values of family and friends, this will happen anyway.
Each addict must be very responsible about his life and build connections with values that can help him not fall into bad conditions for him.

88  Economy / Economics / Re: Very strange most people like to buy with bitcoin , but using altcoins very few on: July 20, 2020, 02:31:10 PM
Most altcoins have no practical use beyond buying / selling. We are still not at the technological level where cryptocurrency is a value primarily due to the technology and the opportunities that it provides.
Most people are financially dependent and their main goal in relation to the currency is to earn money. Moreover, alternative currencies themselves are not an example to follow, most of them are valuable only in the context of exchange trading.

It is better to keep in mind the idea that you can’t earn money at all in gambling, and the win that you have is a fluke, an accidental reward for your labors.
The realization that casinos are designed in such a way that you lose in the long run can help people to be more conscious about what happens to them during games.
But people, as a rule, become aware of their situation after everything has happened, for example, after a big loss, a person “wakes up” and realizes that he was like in a dream.
The job of a casino is to lull a person so that he plays without stopping.

I think that most people who gamble in casinos for the purpose of earning money understand that the advantage is on the side of the casino. However, they are convinced that they can win at the casino. Perhaps they have some game strategies, ways and methods that players mistakenly rely on. There are very few people who don't know the truth about casinos.

We cannot know for sure. Millions of people play casinos, and we don’t know what each of them thinks about the casino, our selection is too small.
Some of my acquaintances, some until recently, thought that playing roulette betting on a red or black chance of winning 50 \ 50.
I am sure that everyone guesses that something is wrong with the casino, but far from everyone realizes and thinks about it.

The lack of promotions primarily indicates that the project is saving money.
Then the question arises whether the project will be able to pay rewards bonuses, and what happens if they don’t have enough volumes for payments on deposits.
Given that crypto casinos are not regulated, it is not difficult to imagine the classic situation when the conclusions are closed for an indefinite period, and various checks are introduced.
Each marketing step would really have lots of consideration first before on making it happen.They wont really just throw away up some promotion if they do know that they are attaining sufficient revenue.

Its just suicide for them to do so on launching out something that they arent capable to do so thats why we do see that new sites arent really that much active when it comes to bonuses and perks

I don't think this is how most small businesses operate in general

Especially when we are talking about startups. Put simply, it does in fact border on financial suicide in many cases, but the point is you don't know that for certain in advance. Moreover, you can't even know that beforehand at all. But seriously, how do you picture that in your mind's eye? I refer to "having lots of consideration first before on making it happen". What considerations do you think of? What is there to consider if most of the factors that you should base your considerations on are unknown to you and can only be learned in the process, i.e. any valid considerations can only be made in hindsight when they are already less than useless for the business in question?

All right. Most startups do not know exactly which paths will be most effective and will give the greatest result. You can find out only by doing something, checking one of the ways.
Therefore, it is always a double-edged sword, on the one hand decisions that are moderately risky, and on the other, a limited budget. Nevertheless, you have to make a choice, and often too careful steps lead to the death of the project.
91  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Kudos to Bitcasino.io on: July 10, 2020, 04:32:06 PM
This is still an element of the business. The platform does not want you to leave and makes the only right decision - to compensate you for your small losses.
Especially considering that the fault is entirely on you, I would regard this as a reward for loyalty. And look at the result, you already thank them causing a standing ovation among the members of the forum.
My respect for such a service.

That's a good move for Bitcasino they understand the flight of their players who are undergoing this experienced and this is very hard for any gamblers, Bitcasino have proven that they are not only reputable but very understanding and considerate of their clients, I'm sure many gambling sites will follow their lead.


I think that any service should do this, turn unpleasant situations related to customers into a win-win situation. Indeed, even if at first glance it seems that the casino has lost, it will all be evenly won because the client won. I came across a lot of similar situations, both myself and reading reviews. Sometimes you are at a loss how this or that service treats its customers.
92  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there any successful and relatively new casinos? on: July 09, 2020, 07:27:00 PM
I think it is difficult if they do not do promotions because the old sites that have a good reputation still exist today, and thus of course for them or a relatively new gambling site will definitely be difficult to compete, but it all depends on how big and high their consistency to build and grow their reputation, because even if they do promotions but they are not consistent then in the end their project will die too and at least many things like that have happened.

The lack of promotions primarily indicates that the project is saving money.

You are right, even if the hacking occurred due to the user's fault, an unpleasant aftertaste always remains.
Now crypto casinos have a lot of competition. I think they understand that in the future, with the spread of cryptocurrency, many people from the classic casino will switch to crypto.
The main task now is to prepare the ground for this, to expand our platform and to recommend it in the market. Anyone who does this will achieve very great results.
94  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Physical Casinos Decoded : on: July 09, 2020, 07:09:24 PM
Staying discipline is difficult, and I guess many gamblers have that experience. I am sure that we can remain disciplined in the first 30 minutes, but after we play more about 30 minutes, I don't think that we still have discipline because the tension and the pressure will be there. Only a few gamblers can still have discipline on their plan, and perhaps, pro gamblers will still have control although they play gambling for a long time.


Players who cannot be disciplined during the game, as well as can't keep calm and stop in time - no place in gambling. Such people are at great risk of losing all their money, as well as becoming addicted to gambling.

So no matter what, the discipline is the important thing that we need to have in gambling. Such people will not realize even if they play longer because they don't think that discipline will help them to keep their money. That will be worst if they become addicted because if they get addicted, they will only want to play more and more, and don't stop if their money is gone.

Many qualities you need to possess in order not to become dependent on gambling. This is of course the same discipline and calmness and the ability to limit yourself. Also, the main thing in gambling is to understand that you can't constantly try to earn money from gambling. Everything is arranged so that for a long distance, players lose the casino.

It is better to keep in mind the idea that you can’t earn money at all in gambling, and the win that you have is a fluke, an accidental reward for your labors.

95  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can we still enjoy the anonymity in gambling in the long run? on: July 09, 2020, 07:05:51 PM
I think anonymity in gambling is simply to some extent; for example, if you stick to gambling on bitcoin or crypto currency supported platforms; then you can remain anonymous as much as you want to be. But if you use an online gambling section where your inputs and outputs are in your local currency; anonymity is limited because if you are opportuned to earn huge millions; you would need to walk in to the head office for wirhdrawal. One thing comes to mind; is there anything secrecy about gambling ? that we have to worry about being anonymous.


What kind of secret do you mean?
If you win millions, it is obvious that you should worry about your anonymity even if your money is clean.
It is not known who is the creator of most online casinos; there is also no regulation in them, which means that in the event of a database drain, there will be no one to complain about.
It is known that even Facebook collects statistics on users and sells it to corporations. Imagine how many statistics of users of online casinos. Based on these metrics, high-class online casinos are created.
96  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there any successful and relatively new casinos? on: July 08, 2020, 05:41:26 PM
Most new casinos created in the recent days just have the similar user experience with the existing reputed casinos so they literally can't drive people into their sites without having anything new in their site.And also some casinos were started with very less capital so they will go bankrupt even if there are few huge wins on their site, we need to understand casino business is not for everyone, start one when you have enough money to run casino atleast for a year even without making any profits.

With casinos, they have similar functionality and user experience. The only thing that a casino can lure people into is a profitable offer, more profitable than that of competitors.
Otherwise, no one will risk their money in a new untested place. It should be suspicious of all new casinos. They are not legal, unregulated, and if they make too attractive conditions, it is worth being wary.

Your discipline can counter the tricks of the gambling house, gamblers who understand the nature of this business
knew when to quit both when already achieving good profits or already losing decent
amount of money from his pocket, even there's a lots of tricks to entice you to keep on
playing if you have good discipline you will go out without losing a huge amount
of money.

Discipline has been studying for years. This is the most difficult skill to acquire, because it is based on willpower.
The casino plays on our weaknesses, on our desires. The best casino will do so that we succumb to all our desires as often as possible in this its essence.
Only discipline can save you from this, but for this you need to become a truly professional, a similar path is not for everyone. We are too emotional "animals."

I dont know if i would agree that we are emotional animals.  Grin

But i do hardly agree on the fact that have you said that discipline will be easily be put up if we do really have that will power which can really be obtained if we do have somewhat experience
into this thing because you wouldnt know if you havent tried it in the past.

Of course they will do all sorts of things for you to stay and thats their primary motive since from the beginning.

I like the opinion of Stanford Robert Sapolsky regarding our background and features.   Smiley

Discipline is not something that can be acquired easily. If you have 1 inch of will today, then when you train it tomorrow you will get 2 inches, then 3 and so on.
Discipline is one of the most difficult things because you have to learn not to do what you are used to doing, and our habits hold us very hard.
Although difficult, it is possible. It all depends on what goal you are pursuing, and how you are willing to pay for its achievement.
99  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can we still enjoy the anonymity in gambling in the long run? on: July 08, 2020, 05:26:57 PM
However, at the same time, does this endanger users of such platforms without a license?

Obviously, yes. It's a double-edged sword because of those illegal activities.

The time you signed up and start playing endangered your information (such as: ip, device), because operating a casino that is not registered and without a valid license is illegal.

I dont see for ip or device reveal would be a big issue towards that matter since we can make use vpn or other service to hide it out if you are really keen towards your privacy aspects but
most of the time, users arent really that much of concern thats why i dont count this as a risk on playing online specially with crypto based platforms and as long you dont give out your
personal details then you are still good.For now we can still cherish out these good days with crypto gaming because of anonymity aspect.We can question out their legitimacy since majority
of them doesnt have license but just simply stick out to those who are commonly being used then you are still in the right platform.

In this case, casinos of this kind are a rather dangerous place to store money. It makes sense to keep there only small amounts and withdraw profit as often as possible.
It seems that crypto casinos are now some kind of "offshore zone", and in theory it can last a very long time.
It is difficult to regulate cryptocurrency, and the use of VPN complicates the blocking of sites by providers.
As always, cryptocurrency expands the possibilities for everyone who uses it.  Grin
100  Economy / Economics / Re: Growing number of institutionnal investors on: July 08, 2020, 05:20:00 PM
I’m expecting better changes in the price of bitcoin. I just don’t know why the price has been finding it difficult to get pass the current rate at which it is now ($9,400). It’s been quite long that it’s been at this rate. I have been seeing the media saying that there institutional investors getting interested and investing in bitcoin. Seriously, there should be better changes in the price by now, it should start going up more than this level we have been at. Through out last month of June this was what I kept looking out for and still never happened and we are in a new month, hoping it’s going to be different.

Institutional investors are known for creating FOMO in crypto market if they are really growing in big number in crypto space then we can expect a strong bull rally incoming weeks. It is going to be midway of July but we are still unable to pass the biggest psychological resistance level of $10,000.

You won’t fool anyone with this tale. 2 years ago everyone was waiting for institutional investors to come to the market and transfer the game. Everyone was waiting for crypto spring. And what is the result?
We got BAKKT and other tools for institutional, but nothing happened. Everything remained exactly as it was. A lot of time has passed already, where did you get the idea that now institutional people will change something. I doubt it very much. To do this, they need to be one team, or otherwise they will have each other in a speculative game in the market.
