1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which casino would you trust more: one that requires KYC or one that doesn't? on: Today at 11:47:35 AM

So, if we could find a casino that genuinely adheres to what they advertise (whether as a non-KYC or KYC casino), which one would we trust to gamble with? Additionally, if you have doubts, what are the risks you might be taking that could bother you while regularly gambling at such a casino?

I sincerely don’t care too much about them adhering to asking customers complete kyc verification or not what matters is them being reputable.

Even if a user completes his/her kyc verification it would still be easy for a shady casino to still come up with a clumsy excuse just to take the players money and the user won’t have anything to do against them. So it is better to move with a casino that has good reputation and has been known to settle customers disputes or problems with good outcome not one that just comes and dictates what the customer did without any real proofs that they did it.

The fact they even asked leads me to believe that someone likely complained about a theft of their ticket and this is the result.

I don’t think that’s the reason because from what I read in the article it states that - lottery tickets that won up to a $1,000 dollar should be able to identify where they bought it from, if it was a case of theft then the identification process would have been implemented in all winning tickets and not just to a specific amount won.
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / A man is unable to collect his price cos he forget where he bought the ticket. on: June 13, 2024, 09:19:28 PM
I noticed on the news that a man won a lottery and when he arrived to claim his prize, he was requested to state or provide information about where he purchased the lottery ticket, which he couldn't do because he didn't know where he obtained it. It drew my interest, and I wondered if forum users could still tell where they purchased all of their lottery tickets in the previous six months (For those who still engage if physical tickets).

5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino/gambling center near an institution of learning? on: June 13, 2024, 04:32:44 PM
Do you think having a casino or any gambling center close to an institution of learning, will influence the students somehow or should I say be a positive or negative reinforcement on them, in anyway?

Thoughts?

This is nothing new in my community - there currently is a school that has some betting center at their campus and yes you’ll see some school kids going there to bet games and some do it while classes are on going or during break. The school I mentioned is a public school so most of the time kids are left to do things by themselves without proper supervision from their class teachers so they end up doing some unethical stuff like staying out while teaching is going on, playing balls during lecture period and watching football matches in betting centers during school period.

It does have negative impact on those that have been wanting to bet in the past and also those that have never bet before have in one way or the other, sometimes when their class mate comes back with the money they won from their bet they tend to become more tempted to gamble.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The real winning of gambling is withdrawals on: June 13, 2024, 04:25:16 AM
As long as the money is still in the platform, there is a high chance of using it to gamble more. I decided to create this topic to see how other people manage their winning in gambling. If I notice a better approach, I will switch immediately as I don't want to continue experiencing the pain of winning and later losing the money again.

I thought I was the only one facing this type of issue, I also have this urge to gamble more whenever I have a balance in my account - that’s why whenever I’m done gambling, whether there is profits or no profits I still make sure I withdraw my money from the site (if it’s up to the minimum withdrawal limit) and deposit back when I am ready to gamble again I don’t just like leaving money in my gambling account because I would want to go back and just play a little more with it.

The only time I tend to leave money is when I mange to win big amount and then withdraw part of it - when that urge comes I’ll use the amount already withdrawn to distract myself from going back to my account and with that strategy I can go for weeks without gambling even if I have money in my account but if I haven’t withdrawn anything I won’t be able to distract myself.

This casino sound like Bitstarz but I don't mean they are the same but there's similarity in their name. Although its to bad for scam victim to learn a lesson this way maybe next time they should gamble on selected casinos. Reading terms is important but also they should find reliable feedback to know the casino is scam or not before depositing some amount with them.


If that was their intention I don’t think the name would be enough to fool gamblers into using it. Bitstarz and Bitz may look alike by on clicking on the site you’ll instantly be able to tell that they are both different and if you’ve been playing there you should be able to tell that you’re in a different site.

Well, I don’t know how they’ll resolve the issue but it seems like they have not been online for more than a month now meaning the accusation will remain unattended until they decide to comeback continue their activities here. We don’t know if @Andrew221 did anything that warranted the banning or not, we have to wait till we hear from them before deciding on what action to take.

Despite me using percentage in my post I don’t actually use it in real life senerio - I don’t even have a fixed amount, I usually make deposits based on what’s available and what I can afford to play at that moment. There are times when I feel like just playing and make deposits that not even up $2 and I’ll still enjoy the whole section.

To be honest, even being a proponent of small deposits, I think $2 deposit is unbelievably small, especially these days when you have to pay $2 as a transaction fee. Maybe it was a typo and you meant $20? Because this is, like, the smallest deposit I can imagine these days. Anyway, if your deposit is small and you still enjoy the session, I admire you. That's what every gambler should be striving for.

I don’t deposit such amount through crypto - bcgame allows deposits through fiat so when I get a bet code from a group or friend and I know that it has some good predictions I tend to make such low deposits (when my account is zero) and stake on the game - as a bettor you know that risking large amount on a parlay that has more than +10 games is not a wise thing to do and thus the reason for that little deposits. Sometimes I still deposit large amount and still use just that one from it, but the issue is that I’ll have this urge to go back and gamble with the rest of the money left in the account.

So what if transactions from the casino are then withdrawn to a personal wallet first and then sent to the exchange? will it also affect addresses blacklisted by exchanges? It's possible to track them, but do exchanges have to check all suspicious transactions in their opinion?

If you withdraw first into your personal wallet before making deposits I don’t think it will affect your address - for me, I feel exchanges use the size of transactions that are being received in a wallet to carry out investigations to see if the funds are safe (clean) or not.

So if you withdraw first then make deposits I’m sure they won’t get anything suspicious from it, that’s what most punters do.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to resolve gambling related wallet issues on: June 11, 2024, 09:19:27 PM

I have read one or two exchange terms of service and I haven't come across such warning, and haven't seen them blocking users who receive funding from casino's.


The only two I have read something like that is Binance and coinbase and a user have already shared that of coinbase above and this right here is for Binance.



Personally, I have used my Binance to receive my money from a casino just once and when I did I never got any notification from them or warning concerning what I did - although that was the only time I did it (not sure if it would have happened on continuous usage).
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How were you able to handle a losing streak up to 5 times and above? on: June 11, 2024, 06:11:43 PM

And reason to select these teams was that I was actually targeting odds that came up a bit, Well, to my latest surprise none of these games were in the money and I can't really recall the last time I had such a losing streak, and the annoying part was that I didn't place this game on same slip, it was a single game all through and secondly some had different match date.

Have you had this experience before, and how were you able to manage/handle it?
[/pre]

When it comes to sport betting I rarely place bets on a single game - I usually go for parlays that way I would be able to use little money to bet on games that has the potential to give me high returns rather than to stake on them individually and then risk more. In terms of parlays, I have several tickets that lost with just one and some that has numerous games that cut it.

I’m not a consistent sport bettor so I haven’t experFenced a straight five lists but when you come to slots - I have lost more than amount in a straight game and I never felt anything because I knew right from the start that something like that is possible so me trying to console myself by being frustrated with the outcome seems like a foolish thing to do.
12  Economy / Gambling / Re: [Just For Laugh] What kind of advice is this? 😂 🤣 🤣 on: June 11, 2024, 04:48:40 PM
The reason what made me laugh after reading the context in the image is the fact that it’s something that I’d also tell a friend if they should come to me for advice and they’ll instantly understand what my true intentions are which is for them not to continue borrowing money to gamble.

And again, the guy asked the wrong question - he asked how to evade the person he’s indebted to he never asked how or what means he could earn money to pay back, meaning the response he got was the best that fits his case.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ALLinBETS Casino Gaming Platform on: June 10, 2024, 12:44:48 PM
I feel it’s the same pattern of hype that goes with all these new platform claiming to being able to revolutionize the whole industry.

From what I’ve seen after checking their site - they don’t have a large community yet (so I believe the aim of this thread is inclined to getting more audience) and also they haven’t launched yet, so unless they finally launch and bring what they have in-stored I won’t consider them any different from gambling/gaming site I’ve seen before.
14  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀 4CryptoBet: Reclaiming the Throne of Online Gaming! 🎲 on: June 10, 2024, 07:06:41 AM
It'd be nice to get an explanation from OP on what went down after they disappeared from the forum to tie up some loose ends.

From what I can see, there were talks about revamping/reopening -- has this been pushed through? kinda odd to suddenly drop bitcointalk from promotions if the reopening pushed thru considering the traction made from here 🤔

The team were also aware of delays and possible overlooked withdrawal requests before disappearing... I'd be interested in reading @tyraxx scam accusation thread when that comes out. Hope you do so @tyraxx as it appears, you never made one before.

I’m starting to think that we are no going to get any response from the Op. if you look at their profile you’ll notice that they went offline as soon as they made this thread and since then they have not even bothered to log into their account account - for a company that has been in Bitcointalk and has even launched a signature campaign they should be aware that such a behavior would hinder their growth here.

Or maybe they are just trying to delay response so that users would have already shifted their attention to something else - that way they won’t face too much pressure from forum member. Just my thought.
15  Economy / Gambling / Re: Playgram - The Telegram Casino: Claim your VIP Spins now 💎 on: June 09, 2024, 08:36:38 PM

The only negative point I see is when the Telegram platform goes down due to servers failure or anything else that stops users from accessing it, this will effect also that casino and the customers.

It’s very rare to see telegram experiencing server issues - so it is not something that’s going to happen all the time and even if this happens users won’t panic as it will be general (since telegram won’t work) unlike when they have a site and it experiences server downtime.

By the way, thanks Playgram for the 5 free spins awarded to players, although I didn’t win anything significant but still I was able to spend some time and have fun without having to risk my own money.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Free Litecoin telegram channel on: June 09, 2024, 07:12:15 PM
What guarantee do you have that the selection process will be done fairly? We’re talking about telegram here meaning there’s a possibility for you to just select  your other accounts and present them as the winners and then continue the process for the next sets of users that joins your channel and you’d have successfully gotten free subscribers without spending a dime.

So it would be nice to know that you’re indeed not going to use any dubious means to cheat, it would be better to use an online random selector so that everyone can verify the results to see that the winners were selected fairly.

I haven’t joined any group for quit some time now, but since it’s free I might try giving it a short and see if I gets selected among the winners.
I was about to say that we will still notice it if the winners are repeating but then I realized that it's also possible to change our usernames in Telegram right? And they'll possibly do it to remove our suspicion. They still can't guarantee that people will stay especially if they think that they can't benefit there, unless if they offer interesting stuffs that can make people to keep on coming back at them, like a free sports betting tip or something.

Online random selector seems an outdated way to pick a winner and may not also be a good fit if we are here in crypto but is using such provably fair system not possible here? As I can trust this one better.

From what the Op has explained after my post I think we should let him run it the way he wishes to - since his goal is not to focus on just Bitcointalk users then it won’t be fair for this community to be the one to decide how the game is being run. Also, there’s a possibility of it being canceled due to low number of participants - the first time I went to the channel the Op is trying to gain subscribers to I saw just 7 members and now it’s 9 meaning since the creation of this thread only two people have subscribe to the channel - unless he finds a way to boost the channel I don’t see any reason to him continuing the game since he didn’t achieve his goal.
17  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀 4CryptoBet: Reclaiming the Throne of Online Gaming! 🎲 on: June 09, 2024, 11:48:47 AM

4cryptobet has no license, uses the cheapest software, is practically unknown and has no players, has unresolved payments for a ridiculously low amount of about $400 (I don't remember exactly)

think what will happen if someone wins a lot? if company was unable to pay $400

If what you say is true and you have evidence (solid one) then it would be best to take the issue to scam accusation board and make an appropriate thread there - presenting everything you have against them.

I used the site back then, when I was a part of the signature campaign and I did make withdrawal but not a large one (since I’m not a big gambler) - but if indeed they owe you +$400 and you’re sure you didn’t do anything that requires you to lose it then go and create the thread if analyzing your proofs forum members should be able to decide on what action to take - if it’s to tag and create a flag or not (depending on whether you’re telling the truth or not).
18  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🔥🔥🔥 BC.GAME - CASINO AND SPORTSBOOK | $1,000 GIVEAWAY LIVE! 🔥🔥🔥 on: June 09, 2024, 09:25:03 AM
I haven't played at this casino for a whole year, but I decided to just go in, check if they fixed what I noticed last year, and more specifically:
You can place a bet in (example) 1 BTC, but the maximum payout can only be 0.5 BTC.
But if you lose, you still lose 1 BTC, although the chance is +-2x.
Even if you bet 5 BTC, the site will not forbid you to do this, but the maximum gain will remain exactly 0.5 BTC, and if you lose, all 5 BTC will fly off your balance.

Is this normal?
I was playing with JB to show example.

I tried it with my jb and it’s not exactly as you described it in your other thread.

When you try to bet with an amount that’s greater than the max win - you’ll be notified of it, they don’t just allow you place your bet unless you agree to it.



But still, it would be better to remove the option of users being able to stake an amount that exceeds the maximum amount they can win.

Thanks for words, being within industry for long time, not specifically on a single business title. I will make sure to later fix the portfolio link on LI, for now you can use https://east.ovh to check my portfolio, thanks.

This was the url I was referring to or am I the only one who’s unable to access the site? Each time I try accessing it I get a “site can’t be reached” error message.

Here’s what it shows on my browser.


I can access the website from my end here and it is opening very fast without any delay. Possibly it might be a network issues or you can clear your cache and try it again if it would open this time.

I don’t know why it didn’t work at first, even after changing my browser it still didn’t work. But as soon as I connected my VPN and tried it I was able to access it.

I don’t know if it’s the network or my device but it seems like something weird has been going on with it - there are several sites that I have tried to access and been blocked out - even the once I often visit in the past have all started displaying same results.
20  Other / Off-topic / Re: How much of my salary should I use to gamble on: June 08, 2024, 07:10:08 PM

I think I have to repeat my opinion, it is better not use percentage based on our salary to be spent on gambling but it should be any amount that will not affect our financial life.
I would not even suggest 1%-5%, because 1%-5% can be something big if our salary is big while in fact it can be used for other important things first.


Despite me using percentage in my post I don’t actually use it in real life senerio - I don’t even have a fixed amount, I usually make deposits based on what’s available and what I can afford to play at that moment. There are times when I feel like just playing and make deposits that not even up $2 and I’ll still enjoy the whole section.
