881  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin assets cannot be blocked - is that helping terrorists? on: September 06, 2021, 07:39:08 PM
While most of the illegal activities in the world take place in USD and I am far from saying that bitcoin is actually worse than any other asset on that regard, I have read many news about the American withdrawal from Afghanistan and how the US government froze some billions of USD belonging to the previous government or perhaps (debatable) to the country itself. Obviously, this could not have happened if those assets were held in bitcoin or other crypto. It seems that not everything is good in self-sovereignty?

BTW, this is not a statement saying that Taliban are terrorist, just wondering about some other cases in which states were clearly linked to terror.
Modern problems require modern solutions. There is one problem that people can't understand: If we talk about illegal activities, bitcoin isn't problem alone but a whole crypto world. Will you ban bitcoin? Then we have Monero. Will you ban Monero? Then there are other cryptocurrencies and guess what? They are unique and their structure, work of mechanism is different from each-other and they aren't the clones.

Sharp knife is used to cut bread and also is used to cut someone's stomach. Knife can't be blocked, is that helping terrorists? <-- How would you answer to this question? The progress of cryptocurrencies and modern information technologies is just unstoppable and in this case both, bad and good guys benefit via the same thing because the medal has always two sides, positive and negative. So, as I said already, modern problems require modern solutions Smiley
882  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Credit cards and gambling (tabcorp, Australia) on: September 06, 2021, 03:54:09 PM
I remember the time I made the last topic about how the credit cards might be banned for the future gamblers. Apparently according to the tabcorp, banks are supposed to be responsible for the credit card bans.

They also provided the stats that only 14% of the users use credit cards and most of them use it responsibly. Therefore the ban would be enforced by the banks and not by any government and the authority.

At the same time, there was a statement that I did like in the whole news:
Quote
“If we got more information from the banks that a card was suspect, we could shut it down,” he added. “If the banks notified us that this was a problem, we would be able to stop dealing with that problem, but this flow of information doesn't happen.”

-Exactly the problem here.
The governmental bodies and the banks thoroughly oppose gambling sometimes but at the same time they are not working together with the companies to make sure it's safe and more practical and therefore it's indeed hard for them to point fingers even though they did not try to work together.

I do think this sends a strong message about how things can be done in a better way, what do you think about it ?

https://www.gamblinginsider.com/news/13007/tabcorp-banks-should-be-responsible-for-online-gambling-credit-card-bans
Nearly the same thing happened in my country but in this case the situation was a little bit different. Well, in my country the highest percentage of the society is gambler and the gambling business is booming there. A lot of people who work in the government and in institutes managed by the government, would get fired if they spend money in casino from their bank account/cards from day X. After that law, the online casinos decided to create online wallets and offer debit cards to their customers while promising that transactions done through this card would be unavailable for the bank and the government and this continues so on, the casinos found loophole in the law and offered the alternative solution to their customers. So, I guess this law while is good and understandable at some point, won't be that much effective.
883  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Spain bans betting adds - no celebrities, no sport sponsorship, no daytime adds on: September 02, 2021, 07:16:41 PM
https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/la-liga-betting-shirt-sponsors-2020-21-season

The new law has knocked down strongly all the preferred advertising options for betting business. They cannot, for example, be on a teams shirt nor celebrities from sports are allowed to promote betting houses or platforms. Also, the adds in TV can only be run late at night. Needless to say that is a torpedo on the finances of several teams and may affect their ability to recruit and maintain the right players.

Teams directly affected:
Quote
Alavés (Betway), Cádiz (Dafabet), Granada (Winamax), Levante (Betway), Real Betis (Betway), Sevilla (MarathonBet) and Valencia (Bwin).
Seems regulations on gambling are getting more strict and strict. This isn't a bad idea at all because sportsbooks shouldn't be promoted by certain teams or players. This, at some point, may leave association for some people that the team or the player are cooperated with the casino, etc. Another idea behind these regulations can be that celebrity sportsmen like Ronaldo, Messi and others have huge influence no people and the government wants to lessen the number of addicted gamblers and the number of gamblers in overall. (Remember how one rejection of Coke's bottle from Christiano Ronaldo affected the company).
884  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Japanese financial regulator considers imposing stricter crypto rules on: September 02, 2021, 06:50:21 PM
We should welcome them. The more the government debates and tries to regulate, the more the cryptocurrency will be promoted, the more the general public will know about it. When Bitcoin was banned in Nigeria, it was sold at a premium price, but the government could not stop investors.

I read the whole article, With hacks being heard from exchanges every year. Japan has begun to crack down against hacking from exchanges, and revised travel policies to prevent money laundering, which is also crypto-friendly.
I think all the steps taken by Japan are positive, I think they have taken such an initiative to officially adopt the cryptocurrency.
I don't think so. When the governments trie to regulate the crypto, if the number of them increases and if the regulations are becoming strict and strict, at first it will promote crypto because there will be a lot of news written by the media but final result will be the less usage with high control. You can attract attention if you kill someone but this kind of attention will damage your future. On another hand, you can become rockstar (just saying) and gain people's attention and become celebrity. It will make your future bright. There is a huge difference between promotions and I think this kind of ones on bitcoin isn't that good. There are a lot of news written how volatile it is, a lot of futures contracts were liquidated in a very short time and a lot of people lost money. So huge interest and volatility at the same time makes it very risky compound and turns light on new regulations about investments.
885  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Twitter seems likely to integrate tipping using Bitcoin. on: September 02, 2021, 05:58:06 PM
It sure seems like they're going to require KYC/AML. And while it sucks for sure, can we really blame them? It's highly like that Twitter allowing non-KYC money sending(even if it's just a front-end UI thing, not necessarily them facilitating the transactions) is just going to get themselves in trouble with the government.

In the end, while again— it sucks, this is still in no doubt positive in my book.
It's very positive news but at the same time the trouble that user has to go through doesn't worth and in this case I mean, you have to create account, get KYC verified, deposit bitcoins and then fund others. Will people really do that just for twitter? Maybe yes if Strike will partner with Google, Apple, Facebook and other companies that will share the same provider for tips.

Idk, since they are going to do that, there would be a lot of research behind this and most likely they expect that this service will work and it will benefit their business well.
886  Economy / Gambling / Re: New Crypto Casino with a built in MIXER and token bridges!!! on: September 02, 2021, 05:35:15 PM
I don't think that it's a good idea to build website like that. You may already know that casinos are always under radar when it comes to money laundering and because of that, they ask almost every user to do KYC verification. Still it's not very common in crypto casinos but lately there are a lot of KYC cases.
So, I think that it will be a lot of trouble that you are casino and mixer at the same time. Yeah, you may sound very attractive to some people but this is a big no from regulators and from the government. I believe no one will let you to freely be casino and mixer at the same time.
Btw wish you good luck! Hope you know what you are doing.
There are 93 countries that do not regulate online gaming and our casino is located in one of them. If it is against the law in your country to participate in online gaming using virtual currencies, please do not participate.
Seems you didn't understand the point. I understood that your casino is located in a country where gambling isn't regulated but don't you think that usually casinos look suspicious for governments when it comes to money laundering? It's pretty common fact that in most cases money is laundered through casino and when you offer casino and mixer service at the same time + use 0xmonero, I think that's a big red light.
Otherwise, as I already said, wish you success. I'll wait and see how this business will grow or exist, this business model is really a strange combination.
887  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Alternative to Purse.io on: September 02, 2021, 05:01:06 PM
Difficult to cheat the system if you ask me.

- Either the item received is damaged:

If you buy something and it doesn't work, you're supposed to send it back and get another one or receive your money back (like everywhere)
With Purse, the person has to get the return label from Amazon, and he can get it on his purse"s account.
Once Amazon receives back the item, they refund with a gift card added to the account that generated the return label.
If the person doesn't want to return the product, it means he has no problem finally.
Some years ago I guess that was the easiest to do. I received fake frangrance from Amazon and they refunded me without even asking for the return or any proofs. And a lot of people were lying that time that made the situation bad, it's still good and okay but was way better that time.

- Either the person says he received nothing (which can be true with Amazon)

It will be up to you to contact Amazon to investigate this matter. They're honest about this and are very good to know the truth (they track the delivery men street by street (I know this because I can see in the morning when I wake up what time he arrives and when he arrives in my neighborhood I can follow him street by street)

In this case, the refund will be sent to you, using the same payment method used initially.
Do they really do that? Because a lot of people use shipping forwarder companies and still lie to amazon, hp and other companies about not receiving the item. That's sad reality and that's why I am asking about what happens when someone cheats through purse.io (mostly I mean some liars who use shipping forwarders too).
888  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Alternative to Purse.io on: September 01, 2021, 07:49:49 PM
Since this thread has been revoked, I'll ask here.
On purse.io you can earn bitcoin or bitcoin cash by ordering for others. When you order, you send the tracking number and other details to the client. Once the item gets delivered, he/she has to confirm that the item is received. And you know, there are a lot of cases when the buyer lies that he/she hasn't received the item or it's damaged, etc. What's done in this case? Does the user has to ask for refunds all the time? This will turn his/her account into danger. Idk, is anyone earning crypto on purse.io?
889  Economy / Gambling / Re: 1XBIT.COM ᐉ 7 BTC WB ᐉ Altcoin Betting ᐉ no KYC on: September 01, 2021, 07:28:58 PM
~snip~
You can create a scam accusation thread against them with proofs, including transaction.

Overall, this casino is very shady. They were the ones who were asking for KYC documentation when people were winning on their website and most of the times were just blocking their account without a legit reason but... As I said, there were asking for KYC for anything and now the title of their thread is - no KYC. It's very hilarious, they had a great chance to develop legit, successful business but you can't expect that from a team of scammers.
890  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can we do what China did to gaming with gambling? on: September 01, 2021, 06:33:05 PM
Ban crypto mining = losing this industry.
Ban gaming - losing this industry.

Why is China going to lose industries where it was the leader? At some point it's understandable, children are really addicted to gaming and this really has negative effect on their mental health and social skills. Gaming is really different from real life games like soccer, basketball and others. I have seen CS 1.6 addicted children who were destroying their keyboards and mouses because of lose and most of them had very sensitive and anxious reflexes.

What if the same applies to gambling? When the government bans gambling, then people find different countries that let them gamble without restrictions. On another hand, the country that bans gambling just loses a lot of money and benefits other countries instead of own one.

Hello guys!

I am asking for your help. Could you please suggest your favorite game provider.

v2.0 includes allot of new games and new game providers. Based on your suggestion we will have a priority list.


blackjack.fun got developed with Your help and suggestions.
Thank you for being part of this journey!
Thank you for considering our suggestions. It's really nice when we see new things build with the community.
To my mind, these are must to have slot providers - NetEnt, Yggdrasil, Microgaming (NetEnt is owned by Evolution right now).

Then, I suggest you to add EGT slots on your website if you have customers from post soviet countries. This slot provider and it's games like burning hot, are very, very popular in these countries.
Oh, and igrosoft is a must in this case too, Fruit Cocktail is very popular.

On another hand, you also should consider slot providers like - Pragmatic, BTG, Red Tiger, Novomatic, Endorphina, iSoftBet, PlayTech, etc.
893  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reminder: US House meeting to end privacy, mining and software development in US on: September 01, 2021, 02:50:22 PM
We're all springing off to a very Chinese-like style of governance and ruling at such a fast pace it's scary. Unfortunately, announcements against privacy aren't met by negativity as much as I wish they would be.
Have you ever been in post soviet countries? Elders like communism a lot, they wonder about that era because there was massive corruption and nepotism. The highest percentage of people over 30 year prefer total controll and their argument against those who prefer privacy is that if you don't do anything illegal, then why are you afraid abouy anything? Let them know what I buy/do, what's the problem? I don't give a f.

This is how the majority thinks, people like total control and think it will stabilize the world and beat the crime. Eh...
894  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Daily Investment Compound Calculator - Newbies Attention! on: August 31, 2021, 11:32:19 PM
There are two things which always can make you rich that are
1. Luck
2. Experience
First is most important because if you have a good luck than you can easily survive and get more valuable profit.
Sure, if you are lucky, you can come, open position with 125x leverage and wait for the immense profit within a second.

This is attractive but you didn't add the fact that the market is volatile plus you have to keep up in investing to reach that amount that you are posting there which is unrealistic for many newbies, what this post does is that it only misleads newbies into thinking that they can make easy money investing in cryptocurrency.
No, it doesn't misleads. The reason why I posted this is to show people that trading isn't a sleep today become rich tomorrow thing. People want to make 5-10 percent profit daily and they don't realize that even in some months, such movement would make them billionaire. On another way, it's impossible to make regular profit in trading, otherwise a lot of people would conquer the world's budget in 1-2 year.

I remember years ago when I was a new traders and I bought those "learn how to trade stock" PDFs or courses. They would all talk about how "Markets travel lots of %'s everyday you only need to make 1% a day to become a millionaire in a few months". The issue is that, yes its true markets do travel maybe 2-3% up and 2-3% down every few hours or days. And all you need is a solid 1% and within a short period, if you compound it you can become a millionaire. Problem is this is easier said than done.
That's what I say. If it was that easy, everyone would become a billionaire and even more. This calculator is a pure mirror for them to see how unrealistic goals they have.
895  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HODL vs Staking, What is the best strategy? on: August 31, 2021, 09:55:22 PM
Do you guys ever hear about holding bitcoin in staking platform?

If yes, can you give any advice to stake bitcoin on staking platform?

I've been asking for many times about it, but I need proof experience of you. Please share below!


I think you are a little bit mistaken. When you hold coin, it means that you just hold it in your own wallet or on exchange and when you stack them, it means that you add your coins in the pool and just wait for the reward while holding at the same time. I.E. the difference is that in first case you just hold and on second one - you hold + get additional reward.

For example, Binance has Launchpad platform where you can stake your coins like BUSD, BNB and get reward every hour + you are able to withdraw your coins anytime you wish. There are also locked stacking and DeFi stackings. You can find more information there - https://www.binance.com/en/pos
896  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Credit card bans introduced in Ireland. on: August 31, 2021, 09:10:48 PM
Worthless proposition from worthless authorities. Gamblers won't stop gambling and going into debt because credit cards and advertisements are going to be censored. There are another ways to acquire credit to gamble and I would say they are much more dangerous if compared to credit cards... Or maybe these gamblers can just move to another country to play without any problems.

If the people who introduced this ban were really worried about gamblers, they would firstly worry about the mental health of the players and help them with that. That is the root of the problem.
Credit Card ban may play positive role in this case because it's easy to spend money that's on credit card but it's hard to spend the real cash. Belive it or not, this is reality. People look at credit card balance like just a mathematical numbers and spend them very easily while it's hard for people to spend cash out from their pocket.

Advertisement bans may be good for the future generations. When kids see the advertisements, they are getting interested in gambling. It's easy money after all and that's what kids want and they can't think critically.

But overall, to be fair, I prefer full freedom in this case. Adult means that he/she can make decisions on his/her own, so controlling him like a child in this case isn't necessary.
897  Economy / Economics / Re: The lending problem on: August 31, 2021, 02:35:00 PM
The only I can think about the lending is the loan rate in different countries. Otherwise what's the problem? The bank acts like a middleman and offers guaranteed profit to the depositor and the loan to the borrower.

I don't know much about the DeFi but this is how traditional lending works:
1. Person A has surplus of money and wants to profit by giving it away to other person(s) but at the same time he is afrad that he may not receive the money that he lent.
2. This is where the banks shine. They connect the depositor and borrower to each other. Person A sends money to the bank and the bank send money to the borrower (person B). Person A feels secure and gets guaranteed profit, bank risks and gives loans in high percentage to the borrower.
3. Depositor gets profit and feels happy, borrower gets the loan, banks get the huge profit. Because the bank is a major player in lending and it's almost the only institute people use to lend/borrow money, they feel safe when giving loans cause the possibility of defaulting is very low, otherwise person gets blacklisted and won't be able to take a loan in his life.
898  Economy / Gambling / Re: Roobet.com | Crypto’s Fastest Growing Casino 🦘 on: August 31, 2021, 02:04:29 PM
Especially if the gambler knows the KYC can be asked anytime after registration on Roobet. If you want the fully anonymous casino, better to check alternatives. Btw, not all users are forced to pass KYC, you can still use VPN and fill fake data in case of using Roobet service for fun with a small balance. This KYC thing protects players too and lets the Roobet team comply with the rules of regulation. I don't register on the website before reading the overall feedback on Trustpilot or Reddit, so marketing team should try to remove the bad ones and improve service feedback especially after this KYC drama.
Is there still anyone who just asks for images of your ID card / Passport and then verifies the user? I guess, lately, people are asked to take selfies with their documents in live and they can't upload images from the gallery.
So, even if you can upload images instead of live shoot, if you fill the fake data, I think it will look suspicious for them and will ask you for more details. Sometimes, these are bills or bank transactions.

There isn't 100% guaranteed way for them to make sure that they know the actual user because someone may ask his father, mother or grandparents for KYC verifications and they'll do it easily. Or someone may pay some bucks to their friends and they'll give away all the information in a second. But it doesn't happen always.

899  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker casino but need KYC, is this really necessary? on: August 31, 2021, 01:19:40 PM
But, have you ever been asked for KYC to be able to play and withdraw in Poker? Rarely do I see a casino asking for that, until today...
None casino asks for KYC documents when it comes to certain games. They ask for KYC documents in overall, when you use their platform/services. I believe not every casino wants to ask for KYC and make their customers uncomfortable but sometimes they are pushed by the government and the regulations that is in the area where they operate.

Speaking of KYC, I'm sure most people here don't want their identities revealed anywhere, and KYC is something really bad that we always want to avoid, even when A highly regarded project. No way we can use crypto to stay anonymous and then do KYC so they know exactly who we are, where we are, what we do, right?
When you use online casino, even if it is crypto one, you have to acknowledge the risk of asking KYC in order to withdraw from casinos, especially if we consider the fact that cryptocurrencies are getting more and more regulated and recently the number of crypto casinos asking for KYC has significantly rised.

What do you think about this issue? Do you want to do KYC just for gambling on any platform?
Also added that they are giving new users registered through their referral link some money, and they also require KYC to receive it. I heard that this amount is up to 200$, if you are, would you like to sell your identity to get this money?
I am against KYC, yeah, I don't like them but at the same time think about this, don't you want to know who are your customers? What if illegal transaction is made through your platform and then the government asks you for the users identity?

This is wrong, i asked if is possible so we play all on our laptops, 6 members, on the same ip wifi. also gambling casinos or sports allow to make accounts every users and play if they are real people , and all can play on his accounts on any ip.


i don't see where i said i want play on multiple accounts, i only told my situation, i not get how you get to this conclusion

what is wrong if every family member have 1 account here? light me please
You're fine with multiple accounts as long as you don't touch faucet and abuse website in other way. You and your family members can gamble from same IP without any restrictions.
But please don't sign-up on each other's referral links. It counts as abuse.
As far as I know (still suggest to check) you can use multiple accounts on freebitco to claim faucets but you shouldn't abuse it (otherwise there should be IP restriction on free roll). You may login via 3-5 different account and claim free bitcoins but if you use bots connected with VPN, have 60 account and claim free bitcoin in every minute, etc, then sure you abuse the system.
Also, another way of abuse and what's prohibited is that you don't have to referral yourself and make more bitcoins that way. Your referrals should be independent from you!

But you can always email to freebitco and ask for official answer.
