What's interesting is not the money, but the fact my email address i used has been spammed by 2 dozen online casinos ever since. I can do nothing to get myself off these lists.
Holy shit... This is happening to me now and I have no clue who the damn culprit is. Usually I give out my luckycris email... but I've signed up with a few sites recently using my real address, and like an idiot used my outlook client to send correspondence to tech support. Jesus. I may never know who sold my address. You will never know and the address will be sold on and on. Expect lots more spam from a variety of casinos using your name as well, not just your email addy  WHAT!? What do you mean using my name?!? |

I am not sure how i feel about this, isn't this mega exploiting the rating system of android? or is your app very good and you just feel underappreciated?
I don't like it - I'll stress again. No different than lying/cheating/stealing. I think if OP felt he was unappreciated, he'd let the forum know. I suspect this app is a vehicle for a some type of trojan/virus. |

Lol, indeed. I guess we can scurry on over there and get scammed out of coins. I guess for a few bucks anyone can open up a casino. |

But to answer your original question.. I have have no favorite casino. Betcoinsports was, but it's replacement BetcoinCasino...
LuckyCris, what do you mean replacement? BetcoinSports still has the full same casino which many users still play in, there is no replacement. BetcoinCasino.com is another option that features highly improved games. They will all be merged in together at some point in the near future. Interesting... I was under the impression BetcoinCasino is BetcoinSports new interface. I was actually instructed not to deposit into BetcoinSports... Now I'm a little confused. Can you please provide a little more insight? Obviously I want to get to the bottom of what's going on. |

Seemed a good idea to raise few bitcoins for newbie like me. I'm not saying that your post is wrong, but I didn't thought that a thing like this was illegal or an involvement to a scam project.
I just wanted to see the damned app anyway...
And that's how scams reel you in Welcome to bitcoin. Providing false reviews in exchange for personal gain in this situation is wrong on many levels. There is no trust in this community because of all the scams. For bitcoin to continue to thrive, we need to rid the community of scammers, not encourage them. |

RNG can be a bitch sometimes I agree but thats what slots are all about. Seeing the operation of the casinos from the inside in the classic online casino space I can tell you that 2-4% margin is correct on the long run for most of slots at bigger casinos that use popular RNG slot producers. The big differences between slots are in volatility though. I know it is hard to believe sometimes but its true.
It's believable I suppose - I simply don't know enough about that piece (other than observation and what others say) to have an informed opinion. But I would like to caveat that with this... in the long run - all it takes is that one lucky person to hit a jackpot for the casino to realize that 2-4% margin. In the meantime, 98% never cashes out. You should note that the slots that are having jackpots are having normally lower payout ratio as they are taking 1-2% for the jackpot pool to be fed with that. At least a nice example of that is a game from NetENT Megafortune. Yes, in theory I understand this is the way it's supposed to work. Take note that the slots I played yesterday didn't have jackpots. There's really no excuse for a casino to configure their slots for low payout (my example below) or increase the difficulty at particular times. Yes, a casino recently admitted their slots' difficulty level was too high for the free voucher play. Then when they failed to change the difficulty level back to impossible after trying to configure (not sure if it's done per user or at the server level) one user was literally accused of exploiting the fact that the slots were paying too high - it was an error at that point. Not a cheat gone bad. THIS is the type of stuff we don't need or want. A few happy customers don't equate to or represent the entire bitcoin gaming community. And I've given several of these places so many opportunities to prove themselves - all the while losing my money to their greed. I pay attention... in ways most don't think about. I recognize some of the tactics used to deceive players. Lots of them actually. I have screenshots/recordings of some of the stuff I've witnessed that would make you do a double take. Clever, clever programming, but sometimes they slip. Or so cheap they can't afford real devs. Indulge yourself by reading my post history if you'd like. I call them out (have two I need to do actually)... just check out their responses. They know when I know I've caught onto one of their scams. Mostly they pray I forget about it or quietly remove evidence from their site (one removed two jackpot winners!). Yes, I follow up. Who knows... perhaps it's tenacity in exposing their schemes is the reason everybody else around me seems to be winning except me. Wouldn't surprise me at all if I'm their laughing stock, I lose so often/much. I already know my IP and personal email was shared... I'll leave it at this for now. But to answer your original question.. I have have no favorite casino. Betcoinsports was, but it's replacement BetcoinCasino doesn't make my frequent list. If bitcoinvideocasino would stop cheating, they'd be it at the moment. Unfortunately I decided to give them another try and ended up losing over 1+BTC in less than an hour of play perhaps (close to 1.5 total - just today). How? played for hours at .0001 bet and the slots behaved as expected. I tried the other games for a lil while, but no secret I prefer slots. Anyways, after losing about 30x in a row, made another deposit and upped the ante to the next level of .001. First couple of spins the slot realized I might suspect something (they have a mind of their own don't they  , and I was able to recover my day's loss from a couple of spins. Sure, I could've walked away at that break even point, but it was a conscious decision to continue. Then suddenly, without even so much as a warning, it dumped no pay results on me until all was coins were gone. Naturally I'm left wondering if their slot difficulty is positively correlated with wager amount. But we already know the answer, don't we. |

We have indeed hijacked this thread a tad, i've PMed the OP asking if he's alright and offering to help him contact local services if he needs it.
See OP - there are people who actually care Just brush/laugh off the comments from those bullies. Take it one day at a time |

Anybody want to share what these fake reviews you're getting paid to rate high is all about???For all of you participating understand this: If this app turns out to be detrimental to this community
you're part of the scam and will be treated as such! Android is open source; how do you know you're not rating a virus that will send people's coins off to lala land? But the fact that you're actually accepting coins for false reviews says a lot about you. You are the type of people who don't have a vested interest in bitcoins so I can see why you don't care if this turns out to be a sham being offered to bitcoiners. My PM works BTW. Feel free to drop a line if you realize what you could be doing now. I won't say you told.

You shouldn't gamble at all if you don't want to lose it's almost set in stone that you will lose eventually.
Well, with the performance of most of these casinos lately...eventually isn't far off at all. |

I invited a girl I liked to spend holidays at my place and to make a good impression taking her out almost every day. The only thing she paid for was a train ticket and I ended up spending half of my life savings in 1 month (equivalent of 6 months wage). I later found out she was happy to visit me anyway and would be even if we just ordered food instead of going out and stuff. Anyway, we had fun so I don't regret it.
Believe it or not, keeping it real impresses a woman more than trying to impress her This won't be the dumbest thing you'll ever do for love, though! hehe Don't you guys have female friends to give you tips and such? Indeed - but those wanting that fairy tale aren't your keepers, at least not until they're ready to settle. Think of that fairy tale chick as an extended one night stand Wait a minute... I'm giving love tips now?!? First I'm ragging on casinos, giving hardware advice, debating about laws and shit... Jesus. Somebody please find me a thread to troll! lol |

Maybe you've had better experience than me, but in all the cases i've contacted law enforcement over someone suicidal they've only responded if the person in question was making an active attempt - they did not respond when it was simply suicidal ideation without an active attempt.
When there is an active attempt, they will intervene, otherwise their response has usually been "not our role".
I have up close and personal experience actually. I'm not sure what type of work you do; a public servant/work in civil services... if this applies to you --> Just understand that you too could be named in a lawsuit should someone call LE because their spouse is having suicidal thoughts, LE don't respond for a 'welfare check' and the person follows through. Depending on your role, you could be named a defendant vice witness. I'd have to know more to determine whether vicarious or another form of secondary liability would apply. But hell, with today's laws, people can sue for anything, right? Let me get pulled over for intoxication (will never happen, I don't drink) and LE let me go with a warning and I get into a wreck and hurt myself or someone... I'd sue their asses for jeopardizing my life and others' because they failed to arrest me for DUI. Really I wouldn't sue, that's just an example to show you how far things can go. Back on topic, perhaps you have a lazy department servicing your municipality, or they're just pulling a fast one over your eyes, IDK. Not all of them are good, and we all know the uninformed are taken advantage of. But if I were you, I'd become informed; just so I'd know I'm protected if something like that ever happened. Just saying. Sorry - I know I talk too damn much. - and in every case i've reported a threat to law enforcement they only acted if there was an imminent danger of an actual attempt, otherwise they advised it was not their role and stated that I should contact the individual's healthcare provider. To be fair, in cases of an imminent attempt (i.e a person posted "i've just taken a bottle of pills") the police were quick to locate them and act. Simply seeing someone express suicidal thoughts was never enough to get law enforcement to respond. Ah! That brings another beast into the equation... perhaps a slightly different beast? This piece is out of my league; way too many variables for me to even pretend I know what I'd be talking about. So I guess in this situation, the mentally ill person making the threats has immediate supervision (therefore no opportunity), don't have the ability to act, so their life isn't in jeopardy? Just can't imagine a non response in situations where opportunity, ability, and jeopardy exists. Unfortunately not quite - most people with mental health issues are NOT under constant supervision (and in fact should not be unless it's absolutely necessary). Neither do they not have the ability to act. Do not read "mental illness" as the hollywood depiction of someone shouting at invisible voices in their head, it's far more complex than that and suicidal depression in itself is a mental illness which manifests purely as regular old depression combined with suicidal ideation. I won't pretend to know where to begin to with this one; too many variables outside of my scope to consider. Obviously the hollywood versions mandate a response (high potential for violence), and so do cases where a person is clinically depressed (more likely to act). Mentally ill or not, I can't think of one reason why LE won't respond, but evidently they exist. Pure speculation at this point but it could be because it's third party info, the person might not be threatening only thoughts with no desire to act, IDK to be honest. But the last thing I want to do is rent out space in head to thinking about it; that space is already reserved  I'll have to get back with you if one comes to mind. Boy, haven't we highjacked this thread? Good stuff though - I hope others found it informative. And why can't the the majority of communication exchanges on this forum debate with tact like us? Another thread I suppose We should do this again. |

No one's laughing, you have to start somewhere. According to this mining comparison chart, that seems about right. I can't help you with the other issue... haven't built my GPU rig yet. Thanks for the reply, and the chart  That chart will really come in handy in the future when I do upgrade to a standalone mining rig. It does seem about right, I guess I just think that'd I'd be getting more mhash/s then a USB device would haha. Thanks again! Yip, no problem Be sure to check out My Rep Thread (signature below) if I helped you out |

man just call 911 and get the police to take you to a psych ward for suicide watch then claim disability and get SSI because you hear voices in your head telling you to kill yourself.
Unfortunately the emergency services tend to be quite useless with people merely feeling suicidal - they MIGHT respond well to an actual attempt, but for mere suicidal ideation (the medical term for "thinking about suicide and thinking it's a good idea") you're better off going straight to a psych. Not to mention most people who are suicidal do not have "voices in their head" but rather a severe lack of serotonin triggered through a random biochemical glitch or from a life event - or for the truly unlucky both (for example, someone with bipolar who has a bad life event). The nasty part about depression is it hijacks self-esteem and makes the victim believe that nobody will care (it's a common pattern to see people claim they're doing their friends and family a favour by removing themselves from the situation), when in reality most people have SOMEONE who does care and would be hurt - which is why the best approach is always to encourage people who talk about suicide to talk to their friends and family in person. Of course some threats are just attention seeking or even plain old trolling, but from personal experience it's best to assume the threat is real and encourage people to seek help - i'd rather be fooled by a few trolls than see someone die who could have been saved, especially as i've had friends who took their own life after people thought they were joking. You sir are 100% INCORRECT!!! Law Enforcement WILL respond to situation like this. It's amazing that this thread went 5 pages and no one bothered to mention that maybe, just maybe, they should ask the Mod to notify ANY law enforcement agency (even anonymously by friggin email). All the Mod would have to do is obtain his IP, Google its location and anonymously send an email containing his post and his IP to the local police. If the IP is valid and not a proxy, Law Enforcement would be able to obtain the posters address expeditiously without a warrant because it would be considered "Exigent Circumstances" and negate the need for warrant - at least if it's in the US. I can't speak for any other country. And before anyone starts with the b.s. about snitching. This isn't about a dime bag or other nonsense. Someone made a post that in substance said that they wanted to kill themself. ---- if his initial post is legit, your intention is to save his life. I did my part and notified the Mod --"report to Mod". It's now in the hands of BitcoinTalk since I can't obtain the poster's IP myself. Maybe I'm over reacting, but it's outrageous that someone would be posting information about things that they truly aren't knowledgeable about rather than attempting to actually do something about the situation to help the individual. Maybe he's just a scammer trying to get free coins with a sob story, which is more likely the case, but what if he's not. - I have direct personal experience in this area and know what i'm talking about. In my experience (and i've had to handle way too many cases of suicidal people to count) law enforcement will respond if someone is RIGHT THERE AND THEN making an attempt, but otherwise will not respond to pure suicidal ideation. The way to help people is to get them to see a psychiatrist. huh? Where are you located, the US? My local PD would respond (and I believe most accredited departments have to). There may not be any action taken e.g., escort to hospital for psych eval, but they WILL respond. LE's job doesn't all revolve around criminal activity. Their purpose is to protect and serve; meaning provide service to their citizenship. That service comes in the form of changing flat tires, escorting funeral processions, giving the elderly a ride to the grocery store, performing lifesaving CPR on a bloody baby a mother pushed out on her living room floor, and the list goes on. This is the type of service they swear to uphold. No, it's not in the job description, but protecting the lives and serving the people is what they do. And they do because they care, not because of the lousy ass paycheck. I'd like to know which departments won't respond to conduct a welfare check if someone is having suicidal thoughts. Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. I have direct personal experience with LE. I know what I'm talking about... and I'd be willing to put some coins on it. I'm that confident. |
