2  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your definition of gambling for fun? on: February 07, 2025, 07:09:29 PM
Playing cards with friends at someone's house when everyone gathers is fun, right? We can play for pennies or we can bet nothing at all, it doesn't matter how we spent this time. For example, watching football when your favorite club is playing and betting on various events: a goal in the first half, the score, etc. is entertainment. Everything comes down to money, if you set the goal of earning a lot and at the same time taking risks, this is not entertainment.
I have periods when I can not play for months because I just do not have enough time, and meeting with friends to play games is really fun because there is no goal to earn money.

I agree with you. If you have a mentor, you will always look up to him and do whatever he does without you knowing the reason for such actions. Youths are easily carried away with what they see on social media and they will think it's for real, unknown to them that these influencers are only doing it to get paid. Most of them are not gamblers but they easily lure their followers into gambling.
here it is important that parents are an example for the younger generation, there will always be a war of generations when children do not understand adults and vice versa. Sweet lies from the Internet will always be more attractive than moralizing from parents, it is important not to miss this moment, a lot depends on upbringing and how much parents are willing to take part in this process.
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the difference between gambling addiction from casinos and loot boxes? on: February 07, 2025, 03:00:41 PM
I understand that with loot boxes in some video games, these items like skins, weapons, tools, among others, can be traded for real money. However, there are others that are equally addictive without any monetary benefit. On the other hand, with casinos, in general, you can win money 100% of the time. Therefore, these cases of addiction are not strictly related to money, but the loss of money would be more of a consequence. So, to what degree is money a stimulating factor in addictions?

Is the loss of money just collateral damage?


good topic for discussion. I know such people who systematically donate to games and buy various boxes to get skins, they look very harmless and I would not say that the amounts that they spend on video games are large and I would rather not compare this with gambling addiction, if the first type of player is more likely to simply be disappointed that he does not get the desired item for a long time, then the second type of player who is gambling will try to compensate for the losses by receiving even greater losses.
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anonymity in the crypto gambling world. Something to think about... on: February 06, 2025, 08:16:22 PM
It is possible, there are sites that do not require account verification, like in my signature, for example. The question is, will many bother and will they preserve their anonymity on the network as much as possible? We have long since left a lot of digital traces on the network, so there is no point in secrecy. Of course, you we create a perfectly clean account, wallets and everything else, but for what? If everything is according to the letter of the law, then there is no point in worrying. One of the few who preserved their anonymity in the cryptocurrency industry is Satoshi, unfortunately, we were not able to do this.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling site allow the use of double account? on: February 06, 2025, 08:02:32 PM
Puting myself in the position of the casino, why the heck would I allow you to create two different accounts with same name doing same thing with the accounts perhaps it's must be for a suspicious reason that's why you would need double accounts hence it's included in all must all casinos TOS.

I believe this is one of the reasons why KYC was first introduced in the first place because it might have occurred to the casinos what some people might be miss using their bonuses and other things in their advantages hence it's very important for casino to include that as a term of service.
Bonuses and affiliate deductions are exactly the reason why players make an additional account. And account verification can stop multiple accounts from dishonest players, I have never made a second gaming account for myself because there is a risk of losing two at once and the risk will not justify the funds in this case.In addition, the site tracks the player's IP and often those who create a second account simply forget to change the IP, thereby giving themselves away.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling videos and streams are so unrealistic on: February 06, 2025, 07:43:05 PM
Anyone of your ever get interested so much that an obsessive wish to try appeared, after watching something? I am just trying to find out how many of you will believe that gambler on a video won in a fair way, and you then had a wish to try it yourself.

Yesterday I have found an interesting video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRkotvU9fPQ, $1 to $1000 challenge. Everyone can afford to spend $1 on gambling, so this video might trigger someone to start playing. Twice in the video a person caught big multipliers with his last money. Do you think it is luck or rigged gaming?
At least it looks interesting! It's an interesting challenge and a real example showed that you can increase your capital with 1 dollar. 100% it will encourage someone to repeat his experiment, there is no doubt about it and it turned out to be good advertising for the casino. It is difficult to judge whether the video is fake or not, I don't know, I didn't notice anything strange.

Remember what happened with the Monero coin, when it was removed from major exchanges?
I agree that if tokens get listed on exchanges and the team is public, then the market will likely support the project more but this comparison is a bit off IMO since Monero is a privacy coin instead of a casino token. People who use it should've expected that exchanges or any business needing government approval would drop them sooner or later. Not to mention its main appeal is the privacy feature, not necessarily profit like many casino tokens.
The main thing is that you got the gist of what I meant, of course I understand that there is no point in comparing their technical characteristics. That is why I am sure that you should not expect this token on large exchanges, most likely it will be dex or a swap mechanism will be implemented in the casino itself, which would also be quite convenient.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Thailand to Ban Polymarket in Online Gambling Crackdown on: February 05, 2025, 09:51:55 PM
This is a rather strange event. I read that Polymarket does not have a license in Thailand... But, in my opinion, you should not equate this prediction platform with a regular casino. After all, it is a largely decentralized platform. Trying to ban it on the basis that it does not have a license is the same as trying to ban Bitcoin because Bitcoin does not have a license in a particular country, lol. The gaming industry does not stand still and gradually more and more elements of decentralization are beginning to penetrate it. Sooner or later, national governments will abandon the idea of ​​​​licensing everything.
They are trying to ban it because they cannot regulate it and get income from it for the state treasury. You are right that it looks pretty funny, those who want to continue making forecasts there will bypass this "ban" without much effort since it is simply impossible to track everyone there, the industry is developing very quickly, but governments are not keeping up with technological progress, it will not be possible to simply ban it.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: sports you do not enjoy on: February 05, 2025, 09:24:31 PM
I simply would not be able to bet on matches or sports that I do not understand or do not like. I bet only on a few clubs and national teams and also a few boxers that I am confident in and understand. And chasing quick bets and following clubs that I do not like is not interesting to me. I can at most read the results of the match as they played for general understanding, but nothing more.
This is a very good attitude especially for a conservative gambler, if you are on the conservative side, you can see this as the best to explore but for an aggressive gambler who believes they can make the money literally from almost any game, they don't really put that to consideration and so they aren't advantaged on that side but having a good knowledge keeps u a step ahead in the better bet on such games.
I know people who bet on something they don't understand at all, but they argue that there are good odds on the game or there is some dubious inside information, and in most cases they lose, what an irony. I talked to them about the fact that it might be worth concentrating on what they understand, but the excitement takes over and every time it's the same thing.

It is good to see you making more clarifications on this, many do not believe that a casino token will be a reliable token one can use and have this notion that it is only secluded to the casino all the time. Those that were introduced in the past and weren’t successful has been used to judge the idea of Niyvi introducing their own token, that’s why people are most sceptical and watching to see what is coming from the casino and how they tend to achieve this in the future.
The success of this token will depend on a well-designed economic model. If the conditions for owning it are favorable, users will quickly buy it, since a valuable and profitable asset cannot stand idle for long. I like the idea that part of the casino's profit will be distributed among the owners, passive profit for me personally is an interesting proposition, so if the conditions are good, I will buy this token without hesitation.

There are two ways that can make the token more attractive. List it in well known Centralized Exchanges where people can buy and sell. Then another way is the price. Those who got it at the first time, if they make good profit from it then others will follow up and those who make profit from it will tell others to invest and also using it to gamble in the casino site can make people to participate in the token and the casino. Let be that the transaction for the first half year should be free .and that will also make people in the exchange to use the token very well. Since we are the participants here, we will suggest a possible ways for the company to succeed in their businesses.
I am very much happy that niyvi is very active and responding to questions and bringing more information. Activeness in the forum bring more benefits to the casino.
Regarding many exchanges, I don't think they will be there right away at the first stage, I think the emphasis will rather be on the internal market inside the casino. After all, the casino is anonymous, and popular exchanges like it when the team is public, it's more profitable for both parties. Remember what happened with the Monero coin, when it was removed from major exchanges? An interesting compromise is needed here, and it's interesting how the team will implement it.

Everyone have their reasons why they are gambling most are gambling because of the money or should profit they think they can make from it , and some are gambling for fun ( especially those that financially stable), but those that are doing it for money they can get from gambling are more common than those doing it for fun , most folks are addicted to gambling because of the way or the mentality they use to approach it , some gain such mentality from things they came across, like those showcasing their winnings via social medias just to get more engagement not knowing they are endangering Young folks lives , because they have given them the mindset of believing gambling is the easiest and fastest way to eradicate poverty, which it's isn't because it can also lead to that same poverty if is not being approached wisely.
Now the trend among young people is gambling and betting, because their idols on the Internet very often advertise this, which in turn arouses interest in their fans. Who of them is more vulnerable will show time, since they are all from different families and with different upbringing, and this is also an important factor. I think in a few years, gambling will be completely something normal and everyday in many countries, there remains only one question: will the state be ready for this and will there be help for those who suffered from gambling and at what level.

14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling loss lead to suicide! on: February 04, 2025, 08:43:34 PM
I saw a news today about a person who decided to end his life after losing around 150K in a single bet, the person is an average middle class with a wife and baby and his annual income will be around 40K (max) then why on earth he decided to bet that big amount on a single bet. It's evident that his greed forced him to take such decision but as a result he lost the life and leaving the loved ones stranded. What's your take on this matter?


I think that this is a stupid and ill-considered act, one family member managed the general budget without consulting with others, as a result, he left them with problems that they will have to solve for many years. It is surprising that having many factors that should have stopped him, this is his family and children, he still made such a choice. And yes, I would like you to add a link to this news, maybe there are some other things that happened in this story.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling videos and streams are so unrealistic on: February 03, 2025, 09:13:25 PM
For streamers, this is just a job, a way to earn money, and clicks or views are not always important to them (although they choose those with a large audience), sometimes it is important for them to simply create a video in which they win a big prize. In fact, I think that such a prize is very difficult to win, and it is almost impossible for an ordinary player to achieve this, but there are many who are able to believe that they can also win, after such a motivating video, this is what it is designed for.

The work of such streamers is to create the illusion that it is very easy to win, I often see in YouTube shorts how streamers of model appearance spin the slots and of course they are happy to provide their affiliate link. The earnings are double since donations from viewers and those who followed the affiliate link and make deposits and they have their share of it, which surprises me every time that this type of streamers have a lot of people watching the stream, which means this scheme works and will be relevant for a long time.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Era’s really do come to an end on: February 03, 2025, 08:31:24 PM
Observation - It’s been going on as a gossip or will I say argument.
That players of nowadays are more focus on making money rather than playing for passion like the old days.

I also can strongly say that passion for football ends in Ronaldo and Messi ERA.

So many headlines has been flying around, about players either wanting to change clubs because they want to secure a huge paycheck. While others still in their current club demanding a pay rise to a new contract.

The Saudi Arabia side has now made it more obvious by opening the door to players who are more interested in money than passion to come in.

I need more clarity on this matter, which is the reason I brought it on here.
Please when commenting let there fact that will be helpful


This is not only happening in football, MMA and boxing stars are in exactly the same situation. Bloggers who think they are professional athletes challenge old school athletes and only for the sake of a show of fame and money. It looks ridiculous, just like wrestling, I am not a fan of it. The spirit of competition is disappearing now, it seems like the new trend is a show without results.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: crazy bets may pay off sometimes on: February 03, 2025, 07:32:58 PM
in sports betting, people often stick to what they know and what has been known in the past people tend to analyze results of the past and tend to apply it again in recent and most of the time it pays off

aside from the live matches there are also bets that do not really involve the match at all like for example teams and players’ contracts

if someone had betted on luka dončić being traded and everyone would have betted against that then that person would have made some good money but seeing as the news has been surprising for almost everyone it is quite a reach to make bets this unrealistic

sometimes though it seems to pay off to take some big risks and make outrageous predictions
I think such forecasts are not possible for all sports bookmakers. In addition, there is insider information leaks can be from the management of the team itself, which means that the result is more than predictable, another thing is the match there are many more factors that can affect the result.
This is more about the opportunity to make money on rumors; to be honest, I wouldn’t be interested in that.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The banning or regularization of casinos by govs has not resulted in anything on: February 03, 2025, 03:51:34 PM
People are encouraged to cheat the government because of their unfair policies and restrictions. Of course, I won't say it is a good idea, but if we think this could give fairness, then I support it.

Indeed, the government doesn't consider how it affects people's lives like they own it. I understand their interest in doing this, but they also have to consider people who want to gamble. Because the more they become strict on gambling, the more people think they are abused and will find ways (illegal) to pursue their wants.
a direct ban without alternatives will definitely lead to bypassing the blockages and finding other ways to play. The government will be the loser in this situation, it is clear that they wanted to control the market, but the decision to block everything indiscriminately turned out to be easier. Perhaps in the future they will reconsider their decision when they realize what a huge layer of taxes could be earned.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Logan Paul vs Conor McGregor (canceled) on: February 02, 2025, 08:32:46 PM
I really don't want to envisage the endpoints of their fight.Already the fight has sparked a lot of interest from everyone with many giving conclusions of the outcome already and it's really seeming like a controversy.
Logan Paul,seems to be very ambitious and teacherous at the same time.Meanwhile,Mc Gregor returning to fight after a long years of silence could be an exciting warm-up fight.Its really goin'to be an energetic and entertaining piece to anticipate.
I look at all this only from the point of view of the show. Professional versus amateur already sounds strange, I saw in the news the other day that they have not agreed on the fight at the moment (most likely they did not arrange a reward for the fight) Remember the last fight against Tyson, it looked very predictable and it was clear that Tyson did not even try to win, in this situation it will be exactly another fixed fight with elements of a show and not a serious sports confrontation.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: sports betting, skilled base or luck base? on: February 02, 2025, 03:56:45 PM
It's skill fs. My friend lives from bets and all I can say that from tenis and a few tournsments betting he lives not bad at all.
In this situation, the fact that your friend is well versed in tennis and can make good money on it proves, and this proves that you can make money on it with the right approach. I have a friend who makes good money on boxing because he himself was a former athlete and this helps him in analyzing the favorite of the fight. He does not make millions, but it is enough for him to have a good vacation once a year.
