Do you believe that the Deposit threshold can minimize gambling addiction in the poor sector?! That’s what our lawmakers believe. Right now, you can deposit as low as 1 dollar in our local casino through our local e-wallet, and because of this, many poor people become addicted to games like Bingo, scatter, and other luck-based games. So, they are enacting a law that increases the deposit threshold from $1 to $175, making it harder for these individuals to fund their accounts and play. This law is also the reason why stocks from gambling platforms are taking a big hit and suffering from a plunge, because a big number of their players come from poor and middle-income earners. The bill proposes raising the minimum age for players to 21, prohibiting the use of popular e-wallets such as GCash and Maya for gambling payments, and enforcing a minimum deposit threshold of PHP10,000 ($175) to reduce participation from financially vulnerable groups.

We never expected the first fight to end the way it did, ending in a draw. We expected Tank to beat and humiliate Roach, but Roach held on and gave Tank a fight that ended in a draw on the judges' scorecard. For the boxing community, they believe Lamont Roach should have won because Davis dropped a knee but was ruled out by the referee. I hope they get a good referee this time who can make a sound judgment. The first fight sparked a lot of controversy, with many boxing pundits believing Roach edged out the decision. However, two judges had it 114–114, while the third judge had it 115–113 for Davis. In addition, Referee Steve Willis incorrectly didn't call a knockdown against Davis in the 9th round, when he took a knee following a quick jab by Roach.
The Ring Magazine's Mike Coppinger is reporting that the rematch between "Tank" and Roach will be August 16th in Las Vegas. Date & Location For Gervonta Davis vs Lamont Roach Rematch Reportedly Set |

The undisputed world heavyweight championship will be competed for for the second time in 16 months when Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois fight at Wembley, exclusively on DAZN, on Saturday, July 19.
This will be the second meeting between the two world champions, with Usyk holding the WBA, WBO, IBO and The Ring titles, and Dubois bringing in the IBF belt. On their first fight Usyk dominated Dubois but a controversial low blow almost cost Usyk all the titles he is holding and now they are fighting with all the titles online again, and Dubois vastly improved after that controversial match. Who do you think has the edge now? |

 Its Philippines against Mexico again. Navarrete will defend his 130-pound title for the fourth time against the undefeated Filipino Charly Suarez. Navarrette is the heavy favorite on this fight, but do not count out Charly Suarez I have seen him fight and he could be a spoiler on Navarrete's good record so he should not underestimate Suarez. Emanuel Navarrete will defend his WBO junior lightweight title vs. Charly Suarez on May 10 in San Diego in an ESPN main event, a source confirmed to ESPN. |

Out of curiosity, I checked Namecheap domain search and, out of curiosity, I checked if they are selling a.casino domain and yes, they are selling it not only Namecheap but also Godaddy, but I wonder why these casino owners do not prefer this.casino domain since the domain is perceived as a casino platform instead they opted for.io,.com,.net, or other domain extensions. I seldom see a.casino domain when its cheaper than all these extensions I wonder what's the reason. You can check it here https://www.namecheap.com/domains/registration/results/?domain=abcd.casino |

We're not going to discuss facts about gambling, like playing only with money that you can afford to lose or the house always wins Rather facts about how we perceive gambling that's different from what is an established fact, like for me Losers never win, and winners never quit, and there is money to be made in gambling; you just have to feel when is your lucky day. These two contradict the fact about gambling, but it is my own fact that I sometimes hold on to or believe in. How about you? Do you have your own? |

XEmpire just distributed their token to their millions of participants, so after two months of working, I have 2 referrals. I did not participate in their upgrade but did pay 0.5 Ton which is worth $2.80 at the time of my transaction. This is my allocation checking on OKX I will have $18.99 if I trade this. I'm sure many will dump their shares, and before I dump mine, the projected price could be $10, so my conclusion is, it's a wasted effort, and maybe its time to take my fingers to rest from tapping my cellphone, or will just minimize my time and pick games that are not related to X Empire and Hamster.  How about your allocation? |

I worked on Dogs for less than 2 months and I made $70 and so are many of my friends and I worked on Hamster Kombat for more than two months and I got 350 and the pre market price based on what I saw on some article is $0.1 which will translate to $35. Do you think its worth the effort? Anyway, its free money I read that they deleted millions of participants from cheating which is why many are complaining. This picture summarizes my comparison between Dogs and Hamster Kombat, How about you? How do you compare the two. I got this picture from a post on social media from one disappointed participant. |

After Navarrette and Valdez slug it out back 2023 where Navarrette won by a unanimous decision, the two are at it again, even if the fight ended in a unanimous decision win for Navarrette the fight was so excited that many predicted that they will do it again in the future and so they did and they are here again. Emanuel Navarrete and Oscar Valdez are once again in each other’s crosshairs.
A title consolidation fight was ordered by the WBO late Wednesday evening. Both sides will have 20 days to reach terms, or it will head to a purse bid hearing. https://www.ringtv.com/674387-emanuel-navarrete-oscar-valdez-title-consolidation-bout-ordered-by-wbo/The first fight is both entertaining and competitive but I still believe that Navarrette will still emerge as the winner because of his edge in height, reach and skill.  |

Why I created this thread: I am interested to know if the conditioned response is a cure for gambling addiction. Gambling addiction develops through continuous repetition of habit, which is another word for Conditioned response, and this habit develops through stimuli, so a gambler who repeatedly gets excited through gambling develops an addiction. Do you believe another stimulus [Conditioned Response] can replace the stimuli from gambling? So my question is, what is an effective stimulus [Conditioned Response] that can replace gambling addiction?  I will lock this thread after 4 days or 40 responses, whatever comes first |

Why did I create this topic: My nephew noticed that after I come home from work that involves sitting the whole day, I continue to play or gamble for hours, so he gave me a warning that too much sitting will have a bad effect on gambling. Many gamblers are likely to suffer from mental, emotional, and financial issues, but do you know that there is a health risk that many gamblers who are playing online are not aware of? Sitting for too long; if you are a work-from-home guy or working in the office and you sit the whole time you are at work, and you continue to play online for hours, you can suffer from these health risks. There are chronic gamblers who are glued in their chair for hours, and they are likely to develop these health risks. How about you? Are you aware that sitting too long while playing without interruption can be harmful to your health? https://www.healthshots.com/fitness/staying-fit/sitting-too-long-know-its-side-effects-and-how-to-deal-with-it/ Will close this topic after 3 days. |

Why I created this thread: There is a popular TV noontime show that incorporates casino games like card games Hi and Low in their show, this game excites my friend who ended up playing in a local online casino because of the attraction in the card game that was introduced in the noon time show.
Do you think it is good that a show that children can watch incorporates games you can only see in casinos, it might end up introducing gambling to their audiences.
What's your opinion on this? I hope the name of the show, if you happen to know it, will not be mentioned, as the topic was created to be a general topic, not an attack on a particular show.
Note: I will lock this topic after 40 replies or 4 days after the topic was created or which comes first.

Why did I start this topic? I experienced this myself, and so are my friends who are into gambling, and I'm sure many of you did too.
We have been advocating for responsible gambling in this forum, but there will be a time or circumstances when you lose control. When I lose control of my bets, I usually run out of money for my family's budget, which results in financial difficulties I have to take a loan to cover expenses.
Also, one of my friends suffered from heart palpitation because of overexcitement from long hours of playing; in my case, I sometimes felt a headache even though I won from over-excitement that I carried even in my sleep, which is why I limit myself from betting on horse races, I replace it with betting in a lottery, sometimes you gotta do what you have to do to combat the bad effects of too much gambling.
So I ask each and everyone What are the other bad effects of gambling that make you stop or limit how you play?
I will lock this thread after 40 replies or 4 days after the creation which one came first

Why I started this topic: This really happened with my neighbor
I have a neighbor. They are both retired teachers living on their pensions, and all their children are professionals living on their own. They are just enjoying their retirement until the husband goes back to his old ways, which are cockfighting and horse racing.
He's not really allocating his pensions he gambles with money that he can afford to lose.
The problem is that whenever he wins, whatever the amount, he invites friends and neighbors to a drinking party, and his wife finds this annoying. However, he cannot argue with his husband because he just wants to enjoy his retirement by enjoying the things he loves.
His wife confesses it to us, and the wife asks us to help her make his husband lose so as to stop the drinking spree that goes overnight and might harm his health.
Of course, we declined. We told her that we'd just advise him and decline his invitation for drinks; however, the drinking spree continued every time the husband won, even without drinking partners. How about you? Do you have a loved one who doesn't want you to win in gambling?
I'll lock this thread after 40 replies or three days after.

This really happened:I have a neighbor who hates any form of gambling, and he wants gambling to be banned; at one time, we argued, and I argued that here in our country, taxes coming from gambling are a big help to the poorest of the poor, so he should not support banning and just let people bet. Still, it seems back then nothing can change his mind. Then one day it happened one of his loved ones needed an operation and medication, and since he was poor he had no money to use for the operation and to buy medicines, but one of his relatives advised him to go to the hospital's social welfare and with the help of the social welfare and the taxes coming from gambling that's allocated for the health sector his loved one was operated, and he got free medications. With this, his perception of gambling changed. He now supports betting on the lottery and sometimes takes a chance by betting as a way to thank the agency and, at the same time, try to win the jackpot. How about you what made you change your perception of gambling from negative to positive? Or what will make you change your perception? Let's have a discussion on this. Reference on this discussion :PAGCOR helps fund health, education, sports programsNote: I'll be locking this thread after 40 replies or three days after this creation.

Why I started This Topic : I was helping my nephew do his assignment about mental health when I stumbled an article about ADHD and gambling. What is an ADHD Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is generally characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. You can still live the fullest life even if you have ADHD it will not hinder your capacity to live the life that you want Some of the world’s greatest achievers with ADHD include Richard Branson, Bill Gates and Walt Disney But if there's one thing that a person with ADHD cannot do, and that is to gamble. Why Someone with ADHD Should Avoid Gambling in All of its Forms
Proven Link Between ADHD and Gambling Disorder
One of the primary symptoms of ADHD is impulsivity. From a behavioral perspective, impulsivity is characterized by a number of actions that are inappropriate or even dangerous to a given situation. Those without impulse control tend to act quickly with no thought to consequences. It should therefore come as no surprise that ADHD and gambling are intrinsically linked. Lack of impulse control certainly sets the table for trouble when it comes to casino gaming and sports betting. https://kindbridge.com/gambling/adhd-and-gambling/So, if, after reading this article or any other article about ADHD and gambling, you know someone close to you who is gambling, how will you react? How will you approach them even if they tell you that they are not harming themselves with how they gamble? Note: I will be locking this thread after 40 replies or 4 days to avoid the topic becoming redundant
