Although poors and riches play in different ways, it doesn't give any advantages to the riches on long run. It's like saying someone who place huge bets with 1.01x multiplier on win and 94% winning chance is in a better position than people betting with a low bankroll, 2x multiplier and 48%-49% winning chance. One huge bet lost by the rich gambler already put him in a much worse situation than the poor gambler who is gambling with pennies. Riches lose much more money than poor gamblers, because they have more money to afford to lose on long run.

I think what we can say is that money lost by poor gamblers will be missed later for basic needs, while for rich gamblers it won't make any considerable difference at all. It's probably just change money...

Yes, considering gambling as a source of income is not a good thing, because every time we gamble, we have to spend capital to be able to gamble. In gambling, we don't necessarily mean we can win, let alone consistently win the gambling we play, but what they will get. only losses in gambling, when you experience a gambling addiction, of course this will be very detrimental for everyone who gambles.

No one can ever win anything big from free spins or bonus spins because of the sites algorithm setting a small amount of rewards so that it is always possible to win something small from free spins.  And this gives gamblers a chance to enjoy that spin and keep depositing again and playing for a long time. This is basically their marketing policy so nothing to get too excited about it. And always keeping yourself in check, gambling should not be taken seriously

do you think some people can get to gambling too because they have too much disposable income and don't think they deserve all the money they got?
could be a thing too imo.

having a support network definitely helps a lot.

In my opinion, it shouldn’t be considered a source of income at all cause it literally isn’t. Anything considered a source where you earn money should at the very least, be reliable. Money won from gambling isn’t reliable as it doesn’t come often. It doesn’t come when you want or need it so I don’t see gambling as a source where one could earn money.
If one is looking to earn some extra money, that person should get a side job where the paycheck would actually be steady and reliable. It’s better to look to gambling as an activity rather than a job. The win is more enjoyable then.

I highly agree, it is best to compare their implemented features or how this games are presented.  Because if we base the worst provider due to personal experience of losses, as stated, every provider will be the worst subjectively.

Slots game that have slow phase sucks.  Because it only waste time due to its sluggish animation, and presentation.  I like fast phase slots game because it saves us a lot of time whether we win a jackpot or emptied our bankroll, it can happen in a flash with fast phase slots game.  This way, we only lose money if we are unlucky an not much of time consumption.

That is also true and it is not easy to get out. I had a period, 12 years ago, where I would stay up 5-6 hours at night to gamble on random matches and sports that I knew nothing of. Started to gamble with bigger and bigger amounts (couple of 100$) and had 1 night that I went all-in as everything was going wrong. Won my bet, cashed out and I will never play with bigger amounts again. I still like the experience of gambling (it can make sports more entertaining to watch) but I am always careful and limit my balance on every site.

I mean it would be quite possible for Messi to be in 2026 world cup, that is about 2 years away, which means that he would be only 38 years old, I think Ronaldo was something close to that on the last world cup and he did alright, why wouldn't Messi be alright at 38 years old. I get that we are not used to it, I understand that we have seen many players retire before 38 years old, and it's still common, but at the very least we need to realize that we are seeing more and more players not retiring at early ages anymore.

I remember when I was a kid, a player that was 32 years old would be someone near the retirement age, but nowadays we are seeing in every sport where people play until 40 and even some more maybe after that. I think Messi will be just fine at 2026 world cup, and in fact I can take it one further and say that in 2030 if he is still playing hen he could be at the squad. Yes, 42 year old Messi may not be that great, but he wouldn't be like not top 25 neither, he could be still at the squad even if just for leadership.

It may not be about making something easier to restrict, also has a lot to do with the control over income and taxation the government of certain countries want to have other people who gamble and also the casinos. Regardless of it, the historical case of the USA prohibition era is was a big lesson to be learnt by the western world about the extent a government can actually control the traffic of relatively common substances.

Perhaps, Since I am not from Bangladesh, I cannot fully understand the context of banning casinos and gambling, but if I had to bet on it, I am pretty sure religion is involved. Pretty much as happens in Saudi Arabia.

I don't know whether this is also happening in other countries, but it made me think about this topic a news I read the other day which said that that the AI had guessed the number that will be luckiest the national Christmas lottery, and that it ran out in a matter of just a few minutes. I'm very curious to see if it is right, and I would buy myself one of these tickets if it was still possible, but to be honest I don't think it will be able to guess correctly the lucky digits based on past performance. Probability doesn't work like that, until I'm proven wrong at least.

~snip~
If you are gambling having a lot of money is really advantageous on your side, as you can place many bets which can increase the probability of winning, while the poor could only afford to bet one at a time which lowers the probability of winning. I agree that money can't make the person better at gambling, but it could differ both on their money as one option to make. Rich people have the money in short, they can go back to gambling anytime they want, so casinos would give them bonuses and discounts for being loyal customers to their casino, plus they could also build connections with their fellow gamblers which is one of their advantages. You can't tell if a person is rich or poor in gambling, but you can assume that a person that you can always see in the casino a rich as they can gamble anytime.

If it's free I doubt if they offer live chat therapy, I think it's either resource or public discussion like this forum, so you can't expect it's a professional who respond to your case. Any kind of project need money to survive, they could survive by donation, but we don't know how much people willing to make donation to them.

Although Al is very popular instrument right now, but it still doesn't give you win guarantee. Anyway, it's better to rely on your own analytics.

One of the reasons why the negatives far outweigh the positives is because bookmakers create casinos not to feed gamblers for free but their goal is to profit from gamblers who like to go overboard in acting out of control by providing a temptation through the opportunities provided which is basically nothing more than a trap for gamblers to come back soon. As evidence, we can see that many are now suffering from large losses and that means we can conclude that they are trapped by something that has been designed by the casino.

The events that they experience, especially those experienced by addicts, can actually be used as examples and lessons so that we do not overdo it, and as you said it is better to gamble normally, meaning by putting small money that you can afford to lose, because usually disappointment from results that do not match the wishes that can make you act out of control, so it will be very useful for a preventive measure.

 It don't mostly bothered myself about playing slot games because I know the house always have an edge on who is going to win and would is going to lose. Once we understand this, we have to be very careful how we bet on slot games especially when we don't have skills to back up our bets. Any person that are slot game friendly maybe are those that knows how everything works and they are more interested in trying their luck or knows how to manipulate the game to make profits fr it.

The more one learns each day. I was not even aware Bangladesh was a country which has tough restrictions on gambling like those which are being described by him. Also, keeping in mind parents there discourage children and the youth from start to gamble, I can only assume there must be a very high and developed underground gambling industry in that Asian country.
My problem with Underground markets like that is they are usually controlled by corrupt and dangerous people who may take advantage of children and vulnerable people in different ways, from child labor to debt traps...
Someday, when I have got time, I gotta read more about the gambling market in southern Asia.

quite dangerous thinking there. pretty sure you would feel differently if the result of the bet didn't end in your favor and would feel glad that you only lost $1 instead of $10. don't get me wrong I understand your frustration when your friend didn't do what he promised but saying you would have won bigger if you had the $10 is simply not true, there was no guarantee that you would win if your bet was $10.

There is no doubt that Messi is not going to have a good performance even if he plays in the next World Cup. Messi is currently in the good form and he can play in the World Cup if we are going to see the World Cup in this season but we are talking about the next season when Messi will get older and this will be harder for him to have a good performance.

I will start with Hacksaw and Wazdan... In my experience, these two are the worst of them all! Almost impossible to hit some bonus round with normal spins, and most bonus rounds pays under x10...

But as you suggest more providers I will add them to the poll. So let's find the worst provider ever!

After betting $1 to win $50, you feel like you could have made $500 on the bet if your friend had paid you back $10. You feel like you should have bet more because you won the bet, but before you bet you probably thought you could lose that dollar amount. Since you made $50 with one dollar, I would say that you took a high risk gamble and that risk was high. You are lucky so you won in this gamble. It's a different matter if your friend didn't pay your loan on time, but it's wrong to think that you could have made a lot of money just by paying off the loan. Since money is gambled with risk, the outcome of the gamble can go either way.
