Yep there are still many people playing this game in our country but I no longer dare play it again here especially in a public place, because if we get caught we can be punished for 3 years max or a fine of $3500 max.
It's not worth the risk, even if we only bet $1 or only bet with a pack of cigs, the punishment will still be the same.
So for the OP who seems to be in the same country as me, it's better to be careful because we know how the police work here.

With less than 800 subscribers, kind of an odd marketing decision to hire this guy as a "sponsor", but oh well, and yes definitely a violation of their own T&S.
There are some casinos that sponsor streamers with small viewers/followers with special deposit bonuses (wager requirements + max win) for streamer.
So, the casino actually considers them the same as other ordinary users.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that we never read any report/accusation here from streamer who got banned by a casino because he came from and played from a restricted country  Tongue
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's there a possibility of working in a physical casino and not gamble on: August 10, 2024, 08:17:01 PM
I was discussing with my friend that works in a physical casino yesterday evening. He lamented that his work environment has exposed him to gambling excessively that he hardly saves enough, if at all at the end of the month although he sees good funds from the tips he receives regularly from his clients that clinches wins. He also receives a manageable salary at month-end, but almost everything goes back into gambling.

He stressed that working in a casino exposes you to irresistible desires to gamble and you can do little about it.

- snip -

This got me thinking and I decided to share it here, is it not possible to work in a casino and not gamble?
Are there other behavioral patterns that could be employed to reduce gambling excessively while working in a casino?
Let me have your thoughts on this.
It is very possible and I have experienced it myself, I have worked in a land based casino for 2 years with 12 working hours every day.
Your friend said "his work environment has exposed him to gambling" that's just an excuse as a justification that he can't save some money because he spent most of his salary on gambling.
In fact, he should be able to restrain his desire to gamble, because every day he sees people winning/losing there and hears sad stories about people who often play and lose there.

Your friend seems to be addicted to gambling, even if he works in another type of job, the story is probably the same.
If he still wants to gamble and has time to do so even though he has worked all day at the casino - he should only use the tips he received instead of gambling with his salary.
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Summer Olympics 2024 on: August 10, 2024, 12:44:00 AM
My country Indonesia has won 2 gold medals from men's speed climbing and men's 73kg weightlifting, and for Indonesia that is the first Olympic golds outside Badminton.
Also we might still be able to add one more gold from the women's weightlifting 81kg tomorrow.
I really didn't expect that the gold medals would come from this sports, because I know that athletes who are not from popular sports here don't get enough attention and support from the government.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is statistical analysis enough to make an informed prediction in soccer betting? on: August 09, 2024, 09:27:06 PM
I think it won't be so difficult to get the latest gossip about famous players from big clubs on social media and sports news, but it will be difficult to get the same info of players from less well-known clubs.
Another problem is that not all news about the personal lives of football players can be verified, it's only rumors and gossip.
And it's not certain that personal issues like that will have an impact on the performance of the player and his team on the pitch, especially for pro players who play in the famous club.
So I don't think there is a need to look for such detailed information, unless you have plenty time to do that before place bet on sports.

Sorry to hear about your deposit, the issue of deposit to the wrong network can actually be taken care of if the owner or anyone who has access to the finance/wallet systems on that platform are willing to handle it.
It is indeed a bit complicated and it can impact the security of their wallet/addresses to get private keys from certain address, so most casinos and exchanges usually refuse to do that with a reason that is a mistake by the user and they have stated about this in their T&C.
As far as I know, there are several casinos that ever given different policies regarding cases like this, deposits are processed with note if it happens again, they will not handle it anymore.
I suggest to contacting the owner or manager of the platform, because support will always answer no and we can't blame them either because they have to answer that way.

Regarding streamers from restricted territories, this actually happens in all casinos - almost all casinos have ever worked with streamers from the US or other countries that are on the list of prohibited countries from playing on their platforms.
The only ones who can warn them are the licensors - but I'm a bit pessimistic they/the licensors even care about that.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Post-loss speeding is caused by bad performance on: August 09, 2024, 12:28:46 AM
Post-loss speeding is the speed at which a gambler wagers again after losing in gambling. Different studies confirm that gamblers who lost their game start a new game 20% faster than when they won. The player's goals cause this before starting a gambling session. The more a player fails to achieve his goals, the more he loses profusely.
Do you experience post-loss speeding when winning or losing?
Most of gamblers must be often experience this post-loss speeding when they lose, because they want to win the money they lost before.
And it can cause us to lose control when gambling, especially when we bet on sports or live table games, it can cause us to bet with emotion and increase the bet amount.
This is the reason why I use the reverse martingale strategy when betting on sports, to avoid post loss speeding and loss of control when gambling.
9  Other / Off-topic / Re: Risk or regret? (2) on: August 08, 2024, 09:57:08 PM
For me, regret not taking a risk and fail to win a life changing amount is more painful.
Because as time goes by we will forget about our losses on gambling, and I'm sure all gamblers also don't want to remember about that.
But the regret of fail to win big money/life changing money will never be forgotten, we will always remember it - that's why it hurts more than losing because of taking a risk.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bookies right to features matches of leagues where gambling is banned on: August 08, 2024, 12:08:21 AM
I think it's considered legal because there are no regulations and institutions in the world that regulate gambling globally.
And the government of those countries cannot do anything either, because sports betting providers and online sportsbooks do not operate in their territory.
Also there is no benefit for them in taking legal action for that matter, they can't ask for taxes, etc either because for countries that consider gambling to be illegal then they can't collect taxes from gambling.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Indonesia gov blocked poular search engine over gambling results. on: August 07, 2024, 09:35:24 PM
Just encountered this news - "DuckDuckGo blocked in Indonesia over ..., gambling search results." which has dropped a bomb on me. I have never been in this country and always thought it is loyal to gambling. But it seems to be not. How does the matter lie at present? I wonder this because of my plans to visit Indonesia for a couple of weeks and when visiting countries for the first time  I commonly show myself  round the local casinos.
Unfortunately you will not find any legal land based casino in Indonesia because all forms of gambling are prohibited here.
If someone invite you to play at an illegal land based casino here, it's better not to do that because it could bring complicated problems for you if the police caught you there.
And if you play online on a phone, I suggest not to do it in public places, and you also have to prepare a VPN or change DNS when using a cellular/wifi network because everything has been blocked by the internet providers here.
12  Local / Trading dan Spekulasi / Re: Penurunan Harga ₿, Mungkinkah Sudah Direncanakan? on: August 07, 2024, 12:23:11 AM
Direncanakan? bisa jadi, karena pemerintah Jerman, big whales, perusahaan investasi, traders, dll di dunia crypto dan saham mungkin sudah yakin resesi ekonomi dunia bisa terjadi pada tahun ini.
Stok market itu sudah mulai down sejak 3 minggu yang lalu, para traders/investors yang punya saham banyak sedang pada pusing sekarang.
Faktor lainnya adalah situasi perang Rusia vs Ukraina yang entah kapan bisa berakhir dan situasi Timur Tengah yang semakin panas.
Tapi ketika situasi mulai membaik dan stok market mulai normal, maka harga BTC juga pasti akan mulai naik dan saya tidak akan terkejut jika harga BTC akan mencapai new ATH setelah itu.
13  Economy / Speculation / Re: Road to 100k? on: August 06, 2024, 09:03:11 PM
No one should lose patience with Bitcoin investing. Be sure to sit back and relax by investing in Bitcoin. Moreover I believe so much that those who invest in Bitcoin and who are genuine investors will never lose patience and definitely go ahead and prepare themselves for more purchases. Real investors always think of increasing their investment. Maybe there are some new investors who invest and create volatility among themselves when the market goes down a bit. But to all those new investors who invest and feel uneasy when the market falls, I would like to say to those investors, hold on to your investment, you can't control yourself in this dumping market, if you can hold on tight. Better days are ahead will come, then get a good return. Although the market is currently a bit dumping, I expect the market to regain its momentum soon and reach the peak price by 2024, but I would say to those who have invested, go ahead and invest.
Yep, the price of BTC reaching $100k will definitely happen, but we don't know when.
Crypto prices are currently falling because they are influenced by the Global Stock Market which also crashed starting 3 weeks ago along with the tension in the Middle East.
And when the global stock market starts to improve + the political tension in the Middle East starts to decline, then fears of recession in this year will also disappear = BTC prices will rise and hopefully we can see a new ATH at the end of this year.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't Be scared Use this Dip as an opportunity to HODL more. on: August 05, 2024, 07:02:32 PM
You are right. Not many saw the dip coming. If you take a look at the bitcoin price prediction contests in Games and rounds section of the forum you will find a lot of the prediction were bullish, mine included. This shows that bitcoin investment/trading is really not for the faint of heart. Bitcoiners who have been trading/hodling for years are not new to the volatility of the bitcoin market. Newbies however may find it difficult to hodl their bitcoins in the bear market. With the FUD creeping in the internet and trolls spreading fake news about bitcoin, weak hands will be selling off their coins.
Actually, many people have predicted this bear run, but no one knows when it will happen.
BTC prices cannot always continue to rise due to many factors including the current world economic and political situation, and don't forget that after the halving BTC price always going down and reach new ATH a few months after that.

Some holders especially bitcoin newcomers must be panicked because of this crash, but in the next few months/years there will be many people who regret why they didn't buy cheap bitcoins in August 2024.
So I agree with the subject in this thread, no need to be scared because BTC new ATH will definitely happen again.

P.S. Trumps odd of winning the election has increased from 1.67 to 1.83 while Harris has shifted from 2.20 to 2.00 at
I guess, it's good to see odds increasing when it comes to Trump because with increased odds players can make more profit if Trump wins the elections. Hope to see odds of Trump going above 2 so that could be much better for some players. I guess Kamala is also trying her best but we all believe that she won't win election against a competitor like Trump.
After Trump was shot and Biden resigned, the odd for Trump was 1.44x, and after the poll it changed drastically from 1.44x to 1.6x and now 1.8x ish.
Actually, I was quite surprised by the poll results, because my prediction was that Trump would be unstoppable in the polls because of the shooting incident.
Moreover, the world political situation is getting hotter now, without underestimating Kamala abilities - it seems Trump is a figure who is needed more at this time.
It's better to bet from now on if we're sure Trump will win, I'm pretty sure the odds for Trump will go down again soon.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2024/2025 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: August 04, 2024, 10:03:36 PM
How do I explain to you that Manchester United cannot improve with the likes of Aaron Wan Bisakka, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Scott MC Tominay, Casemiro declining and Antony. No good will come out of these players honestly. Last night was a good show that Casemiro is finished.  Top player but tj y should be preparing for his exit.
Well, honestly speaking Manchester United needs to do a lot if they want the team to elevate again and go back to being one of the top teams in the league. A lot of reshuffling needs to be done, lots of players needs to be sold or released and new players should be brought in but the major problem is that the coach doesn’t seem to be in charge, he doesn’t even know what players he needs and the ones he doesn’t. Players you mentioned above are all players that won’t get the team anywhere, Casemiro should be in the Saudi League or China league by now, they need two solid center backs to replace Maguire and a backup for Martinez since he is injury prone, Mc Tominay is the type that deceives coaches with their work rate and doesn’t contribute much to the team, Antony already as we all know is a flop and many more players needs to be replaced but I think they should firstly start with bringing in a new coach.
This! yep, Manutd must dump a lot of their players if they really want to get better, Ten Hag will also definitely agrees and now the decision is up to Ratcliffe.
And I believe he will improve everything at Manutd and I hope he will get rid of high paid players with minimal contribution.
Manutd will be better in the next season and will probably dominate the PL again in the next 2-3 years.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you already happy if you can double your money, or do you want more? on: August 04, 2024, 05:29:54 PM
For me personally, x2 to the balance means that the plan has been completed 100% and there is no point in taking further risks. I have not had the goal of hitting the jackpot for a long time since I no longer believe in it, and I consider multiplying my initial balance a very good result and I can finish game. Discipline is my faithful friend.
the plan is completed if you withdraw it and secure your capital.
But if it is still in your gambling account, then nothing is done because it will remain in play or at stake.

and you also don't have a goal to hit the jackpot, then you just need to stop and take everything.
But if there is still hope, only use those profits to try to hit the jackpot, even if the odds are very small.
I think it depends on what type of gambling we play, for example:
On sports - I will definitely stop after won 100% - 150% of the starting balance.
On casino/slots - this depends on playing time, if I get 100% profit in a short time/less than 60 minutes, usually I will still continue playing.
Being greedy when gambling is normal and it doesn't matter as long as we can control our emotions and know when to stop, whether we win or lose.

I didn't watch the live match but after watching the footages on youTube, the extra time of 16 minutes + 2 minutes 48 secs and Var ignored a yellow card for an assault were very absurd.
4-6 minutes should be enough, because the match is running normally for 90 minutes. The ref seemed want to help France women to reach the final - match fixing failed  Tongue

Even though I rarely post in the scam accusations section, almost every day I read the threads there.
Apart from almost all reports coming from newbie accounts, the reports are always for the same casino within a certain period of time.
For example, this month there are many reports about casino A, and next month there are many reports/accusations against casino B - sometimes I think the accusations seem organized and carried out by a group.
So, I will not believe any accusations like that until there is clear evidence of who is right and wrong.
