I agree with you on this one.

The reason on why most social media promoters have lots of followers are due to their original content. Some online gambling websites approach these said influencers to insert an advertisement on a given gambling platform.

I remember, I was watching this YouTuber who frequently shares fails and jokes. After 1-2 years of being famous, he then inserted a promotion and advertisement about a said gambling website at the end of his videos. Though I do understand that they have to make a living, it somehow turned me off a bit.

Yes, gambling websites may restrict or even ban users if they discover that the account is being used by an underage person. Depending on the ToS of a specific gambling website, a person of legal age is a pre-requisite in order for them to be able to gamble at their website.

Failure to comply with these requirements may compel the said gambling website to ban or deny your withdrawals at any time.


As far as I know, this depends upon the jurisdiction of the said gambling website. If it is a land-based casino, then you may report this to your local enforcement agencies. If it is an online casino, the best thing that you could do is to report it to this forum for awareness of everyone.

Bitcointalk forum is just one of those blessings that cannot be thank enough. The opportunities and lessons it provide are truly priceless given on how cryptocurrencies are starting to create its name on the whole financial market. Large conglomerates now acknowledge its potential and on how it can impact investments in the future.

Bearing this in mind, there are lots of knowledgeable and informative posts created by our veterans in this forum. They share all their insights and other investment tips in order to let everyone know about its potential.

Personally, bitcointalk is one of those things that I consider to be one of the greatest thing that I have encountered. Not only did it provide me the opportunity of learning; but it also gave me the opportunity of working online to support my family.

I definitely agree with your statement.

Just to add, remember that these are investments no matter how form or shape they materialize. There is no hard-and-fast rule when it comes to investments- they require patience, determination, and care in order to maximize the profits. You cannot just leave all of your retirement savings into one (1) investment mechanism and pray that you would reap all the rewards in the future.

Remember that investing in BTC does not guarantee profit in the future. You still must comply and create all the opportunities in order for profit to happen.

I think this kind of scenario speaks on the importance of mixers in the cryptocurrency space. The fact that they can at least hide your transactions make it more safer for you to send your BTCs to someone.

But think of it this way- if you have given paper money to someone and that someone uses it for illegal means, does this mean that you have propagated or enabled the person to commit the wrong done? I think not- it still boils down to the person in which he/she used the BTCs for, whether legally or illegally. If this were the case, I am confident that nothing would happen to you and no one would be able to question your intentions.

If you are really skeptical about it, then you may also exercise the option of purchasing BTCs in exchanges that do not require any KYC documents to be submitted.

Fortunately, my gambling patterns are somehow intermittent- there will be days where I feel gambling; and there are also days where I vowed to myself to never gamble again. Though this may be the case, you can consider that I am stuck in this loop, like an on/off switch.


Setting a limit to your bets may be considered one of the effective ways to reduce your activity in gambling websites. If you have limited resources at your disposal, you are somehow forced to stop at a certain threshold if you reached the capped of your gambling expenditures.

There are two (2) ways in order to somehow predict the prices with basis: using extrinsic and intrinsic technical analysis on the price of BTC.

For intrinsic analysis, this include all the factors that a certain cryptocurrency may affect its price. This includes the performance of the cryptocurrency over the years when it was created and you may also apply stock technical analysis techniques in order to support your conclusion.

For external analysis, this include all the factors that affect its price that does not include the performance of the crypto. For example, the war between Ukraine and Russia; the prohibition of countries of cryptocurrencies, etc.

At the end of the day, there is no absolute rule when it comes to prediction. These are only tools in order to help you arrive at a decision on which odds are greater than the other and this also does not guarantee that you will profit at the end.

I agree with your statement.

An investment is something that a person must consistently commit-on in order to maximize its potential. Yes, it does not guarantee a person to be instantly rich but it does give a person a comfortable setting and security if the investment had matured in the given timeframe.

For example, if a person invested money from the very start he/she had earned money, then such investment would accumulate its value, thereby setting you a form of security when you reach the age of retirement. Though this will not make you rich per se, it does give you some sort of money for you to use at your fullest discretion.

In order to achieve this, one must indeed commit to such investment. If you do not commit and continue to invest, then nothing would really happen. In fact, it will become more of a liability than an asset to your experience.

If a casino requires you to submit KYC documents and refuse to heed to their request, they have all the discretion to accept/deny any act on which you will do. They may even deny your withdrawals and that is covered under their TnC which is mostly stipulated.

OP, you cannot fault the gambling website if they refuse to accept your withdrawals. KYC documents are a pre-requisite before anyone can gamble on their platform. Obviously, for failure to submit such, they also have the power to deny your withdrawals at their discretion.

I have never heard of luck block casino in the crypto space but reaching a conclusion that they are a scam just because they denied your withdrawal is fallacious. Next time, if you do not want to submit any KYC documents, then avoid playing on such platform in the first place.

I voted for BlackJack and baccarat but I suspected that slots and poker would be the top choices among the players.

Poker, being at the top, is understandable given its wide and recognized popularity all over the world. There are even poker tournaments that are being hosted on national television where it featured famous personalities in such game.

In slots, it is considered as the easiest game to play of all the games available in a casino. Given its simplicity, you also cost no time in playing such game as you only push the level and pray that the slots would be in your favour.

As far as the general public is concerned, they are buying tickets for the hope of changing their lives into straight retirement- winning the lottery is a dream that can be achievable by means of paying a relatively small amount of money. So basically, the lottery for them is something that can provide them that dream and can create an illusion of them winning. Sometimes the thought of you winning is worth it to the price you pay for betting.

Though this may be the case, winning the lottery is astronomically low. For some who may compute the chances of winning, it is forwarded that you may have no chance at all of winning even if you bet daily starting from the day that you were born.

In conclusion, you are paying for the thought of winning and the chance of going straight to retirement. Though the chances may be lower, still, I guess it is still worth it to pay such amount of money for that chance of you winning, even if such odds are low.

Man, the KYC documents that Stake had been asking is far more stringent that those of the KYC documents which my local exchange asked for me. These are just ridiculous- good thing there is a representative of stake here in this forum that may help you with your case.

Regarding the extra documents that are being asked, I find it very intrusive to ask for such magnitude of evidence. The fact that you also complied with all the requests that they asked speaks on how you are compliant with all the requests. This should imply that you are indeed a legitimate customer of their services.

Again, this is not looking good for a reputable casino to somehow create an endless loop and cycle for requesting such documents. I would definitely exercise all the means of help, including messaging all the representatives in this forum to look on your case.

As far as I know, my friend went to this cruise ship in Europe and he told me that casinos there had limited games.  There were slots and the environment was pretty conducive for gambling but expect less games than your typical casino.

Personally, I would definitely avoid gambling in cruise ships due to its nature. When you are in a vacation, you are expected to relax and enjoy the peaceful serenity of such limited time. Engaging myself in a stressful situation may make or break the whole vacation in the cruise. There is also that potential of losing so much money to the point that the entire vacation is somehow ruined for you, including your family.

Just like any other investment, the younger generation would be the one to continue and most likely provide more innovation towards cryptocurrencies. They are the the essential element to make cryptocurrencies successful because without them, there would be no party that would seek the potentials of cryptocurrencies.

On its own, BTC should be treated as an investment. While they are growing up, however, they should be fully aware of its consequences and uses on the market. For them to actually understand this concept, they must have at least a fraction of it for them to invest and understand its fundamentals in the blockchain technology.

I recommend using a hardware wallet for maximum safety and protection for your BTC investments. If you are holding a relatively small amount of BTCs, then you can put them inside exchanges but make sure to send it to your hardware wallet as soon as the latter becomes available.

If you are living in a country where it supports a local wallet, then you may also put your BTCs inside such local wallet for maximum convenience and support. In my country, we have a local wallet called coins.ph where it is regulated for transparency. The reason on why I keep them inside is because I can conveniently convert my BTCs to our desired local currency and even purchase or pay bills with it.

Though this may be the case, I am slowly migrating my BTCs to a hardware wallet as soon as I purchase one.

I think you should invest and purchase BTC for you to HODL it long-term. Regardless if you want to give it to your wife as a wedding gift or not, you should definitely invest in BTC. Though it may be somehow difficult given the current circumstances surrounding your country of its prohibition, the fact that you purchased it already makes it possible for you to do it.

Personally, I would give my wife something that she would understand and love. Giving her BTC as a form of investment is like giving someone shares of stock to a certain company. I mean, it is not bad per se but a wedding gift should be something that is tangible for her to remember as a remembrance of your wedding.

From my experience, I usually prefer to bet before the match starts. As far as I know also, some betting platforms close their betting deals once the game starts which makes it impossible to bet. Though this happens rarely, I mostly encounter this situation.

In addition, I find myself winning every time I stick to my gut. I do not change my bets and prefer to bet whenever a certain timeframe is given for us to place the wagers.


I find this interesting- I might try and explore other sports betting websites that offer bettings that can be changed during the game. Most of the ones that I have tried had locked once the game starts.

I find it both funny and ironic that some people claim cryptocurrencies or BTC as a ponzi scheme, but they are the ones who are not knowledgeable about the given topic. I am very sure that they get their information on false media platforms, like TikTok, Facebook, or any other medium which spread false information about it.

I am also appalled that the teacher mentioned and agreed that BTC is considered as a ponzi scheme. As a teacher, he/she has the responsibility of informing his/her students through verified information, not by some rumors or any kind of false information.

I do recommend to ask your nephew and question on how his teacher came up with the conclusion on why he considered it as such. If the teacher cannot give any verified information and/or source on why he claimed it as such, then better to ignore him and his classmates.

I appreciate the insights you provided and the concrete examples on how the VIP system works and the different qualifications in order to receive rewards/bonuses from different casinos you have participated.

The VIP system was designed in order to keep a loyal player base in a given casino. The focus is catered towards a loyal clientele by providing more bonuses the higher they spend on a certain amount of time (on your example, stake requires 3000 usd wagered weekly to be qualified). Of course, the higher you spend, the more bonuses you would receive.

In conclusion, I think everything boils down to one's preference of availing that VIP status. But if you were to avail such status, might as well pick a casino that had already established its name in order to maximize it. Avoid casinos that are relatively new on the market due to the risk of them closing down without any notice.

I really doubt that BTC would become the currency for as little of 10-15 years from the future.

Remember that BTC solely exists on the internet. With this, there are many countries who do not have access to basic food and education, let alone the technology to support a cryptocurrency online platform with their designated wallets inside their mobile phones.

In addition, to become the currency of the nation, it must have approval and acknowledgement from all the countries in the world, or else it will prejudice them. There are some countries who prohibit the utilization of such and there are even massive prohibition from its usage.
