There are actually lots of different casino sites that will not ask or require you to submit KYC but if you're a high roller, they will still ask you to comply with their KYC before you withdraw your funds. I don't think complying with the KYC requirement will harm you. Your details and personal information are safe as well as you're using a highly reputable casino site.

It is not unusual to be suspicious of the way people are being cheated at every level. And the image the OP is sharing here is spot on that it is divisible by 9. But here the matter of lottery selection should be kept in mind in which process lottery selection is being done. If all were not divisible by this 9 then there would be no doubt in anyone's mind. But I think it doesn't matter. Those are the lucky ones who got those numbers.

They say that Filipino bettors are playful when it comes to betting and no wonder why there are 433 lottery winners in one day. Maybe those people have been betting with the same winning combination for a long time. It may sound suspicious but anything unexpected can happen in gambling. If the powerhouse has not been honest, then it will also be unfair to millions of bettors who put their hope on them.

Well there's no differentiate between male or female when it's about gambling, either male or female can get addicted same like they have lust. The child isn't used as collateral, but she just abandon him and that's make the casino think she will return to pick up her child. But actually the woman didn't return and she seems okay to let her child to be with the casino. It's a bad parenting from the woman, I feel bad for her child since he might have a tough life considering his mother can't control herself.
More females are actually falling into gambling addiction. Gambling addiction chooses no gender and it could happen if we will allow gambling to take control of our lives but the worse thing is, when we are risking our loved ones' lives. We should not put their lives at risk regardless of how badly we fall for gambling. The child might really have a tough life if his mother won't change.

More rules make a country more corrupt.

People will always find another way (alternative) to do what they like to do! In this case, I guess a good VPN and crypto casino that doesn't require KYC is a good solution for bypassing government rules. Pretty easy and simple.
As long as you are willing to take risk just to gamble, you are free to do this but of course not every gambler will take such risk especially if there's a strong law that prohibit everyone from getting involve in gambling with a huge punishment once caught. I won't suggest any of this, this is too risky and I'm sure you don't want to get punish. For now, all you can do is to focus your attention in other things, wait for a new government to amend this law because for sure they will lose a lot of money at certain point if they continue to banned gambling, there's still a hope for this.

As long as the risk won't heavily affect you then you can still enjoy gambling by your own means. There are still regulations that don't restrict gambling that much and gamblers can still gamble with limits. Lucky are those who are able to seek alternatives despite their country's restrictions against gambling.

Countries and companies that won't value their skilled employees are like throwing gems. Those employees will only find better opportunities that will fit their skills with the right compensation. It deserves a better salary and I hope huge businesses would know that they're also the backbone of the company. They can rehire new employees but it will be a loss if they will let go of experienced and skilled employees.
1066  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Investing and the casino business. on: September 30, 2022, 04:24:50 PM
To be honest, I also didn't know that we can invest in casino businesses. This sounds interesting, especially to those who want to maximize their earnings and profit. I think this is possible for those who have huge capital so it's a big challenge for small-time investors. We only have to choose highly reputable casinos.
1067  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you change your mind on gambling ? on: September 29, 2022, 03:42:11 PM
I'm just a small-time gambler and still know my limits so I believe that I can quit from gambling if it's necessary or even asked by the law. It will only be hard for those who have fallen into gambling addiction. For sure, they are willing to break the law just to pursue gambling which will surely cause problems in the future. But to those responsible gamblers, I think this will never be a struggle.
1068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Casinos vs money laundering. on: September 28, 2022, 03:22:11 PM

So, what do you say, does crypto casinos really care about money laundering?

Yes, of course, the KYC requirement on the part of online casinos is not sufficient to counter money laundering, but also in many casinos, there is a requirement for a large win to provide documents confirming the legality of the origin of funds on your deposit.
Many gamblers might hate KYC but if they will only know its positive impact on their security as well as the protection of the casino against money laundering, they will appreciate its importance. Launderers are using casino sites as an escape from their crime so casinos are also trying to be careful.
1069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My worst day in gambling on: September 27, 2022, 05:16:08 PM
Make your worst experience in gambling the most valuable lesson in your life. Nothing forbids you from gambling at a young age, the important thing is that the money used to gamble does not cause new problems later in life. When you profit from a bet you should be able to think more realistically or when you start losing in a few rounds you immediately stop to avoid a bigger loss.
This is human nature, when you make a profit you want to get more, but when you lose, you will continue to bet in the hope of getting back the money that has been spent. Remember, gambling should prioritize common sense, not lust.

Our worst experience will be our best teacher. For sure, you will not learn your lesson if you haven't been through that kind of situation but the good thing is, you survived and were able to face that experience bravely. We've all been through a bad day in gambling because not every day could be lucky for us. Some of us have been scammed while others used their borrowed funds and lost them and some gamblers also used the money that is intended to use for other things, all those things happen because of putting all our hope in gambling which for me is a wrong mindset. We should always keep in mind that gambling has a huge risk of losing everything we have.
1070  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Casino Licenses on: September 27, 2022, 04:51:22 PM
License is not an assurance for a casino not to scam people since even if they have license still they are prone to do this action. But for having peace of mind to legit casino operators regarding on upcoming inquiries regarding this matter it's better to acquire a license because several users ask this and look at this as a basis for them to trust the casino.

Most players check the legitimacy through its license. There are still casino sites without licenses but acquiring them is an advantage because players still choose licensed casinos for assurance. It's a good way of proving that you're trusted and a better start to building up a good reputation.
1071  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Pulsuhan niyo naman ito: Boracay, binabalak na gawing Crypto-Island on: September 25, 2022, 03:44:26 PM
Ayun dito, isang cryptowallet company named "Pouch" ang nagbabalak gawing Bitcoin Island ang Boracay.
Sa parehong article, sabi dito na may 120 businesses na ang tumatanggap ng Bitcoin as a form of payment sa Isla.

I am not from Visayas, so baka naman po may makapagvalidate ng info na to. TIA

Since tourist spot ang Boracay most probably this is for the tourist so they can spend their cryptocurrency sa island which is magandang adoption talaga ito. Aside from this, mukang matutuloy ang pagtatayo ng Casino sa boracay so this can also boost the tourist sa Boracay Island.

Sana lang ay mapangalagaan paren nila ang isla kase super ganda sa lugar na ito, and if ever na totoo nga ito sana may proper regulation para maiwasan ang mga scammer at fake crypto, sapat na kaalaman den para sa mga small businesses kase baka maloko lang den sila at the end of the day.

Isang advantage lang nito ay mas makikilala pa ang crypto sa bansa lalo na at isa sa mga tourist capital ng bansa ang Boracay. Mas lalo ring mapopromote ang island pero sa kabilang banda, isa rin itong treat sa Boracay lalo na kung dadagsain ito hindi lang ng mga turista kundi pati gamblers kapag natuloy nga ang pagpapatayo ng mga casino dito. Sana nga mapangalagaan ito kung ano mang businesses ang gusto nilang ipatayo dahil pinaghirapan din ng nakaraang pangulo ang pagrerebuild ng island.
1072  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 25, 2022, 02:40:44 PM
No news yet about Canelo yet on whom he will likely face next because he just came out from a trilogy fight against his long rival, Golovkin. Some rumors saying that he will activate his rematch after Bivol-Ramirez fight but I guess Canelo will not activate that if Ramirez will win because Bivol won't have belts by that time.

Recent rumors are saying that Canelo might activate the rematch if Bivol succeeds on his title defense against Zurdo and that might pursue because Bivol has nothing to do afterwards as Beterbiev is currently injured and he also have his own title defense he needed to win.

Also, if you guys remember our past discussion on Canelo's contract, I think it was written somewhere in that said contract that Canelo will face 3 boxers this year or hopefully next year 1st quarter, we already know the 2 boxers namely Bivol and Golovkin. Now, can somebody here guess who's that 3rd boxer? Or can someone confirm that there's indeed 3rd challenger?

Don't have any idea about that but considering that Bivol has his own upcoming fight, it might not be him for this year. But if it's coming next year, the chance of him and Canelo to have their rematch is possible if Bivol will take down Zurdo. We might see Canelo's camp to pursue that intention to have the rematch, for sure it might be more money for both fighters even this time Bivol can ask for more cut compared to what he got last time.

with Canelo's win over GGG, wondering here if he will still be the favourite if he fights Bivol. because last time, bivol was underdog. so am thinking that bookies may favour canelo here. but the odds will be tight. this will be an interesting re-match if this will happen early next year. since bivol is the belt holder, high likely that he will get the bigger cut over canelo.

I think he will still be the favorite against Bivol in this will have their rematch, although it might be closer this time, specially if Bivol will win by knockout against Ramirez or if he dominates him just like how he beat Canelo.

So it's important for Bivol to show another great performance so that he will be fighting Canelo next. And for sure I'm thinking that it will be greater that their first fight because people wanted to see if Canelo can avenge his defeat or if Bivol is really too much for Alvarez.

If Bivol win this upcoming fight again, we may hear lots of calls with a rematch against Canelo, it will be another money fight for both fighters, like what you have said, it will attract more viewers looking on how Canelo will try to avenge his first lost from that last fight, Though it might still Canelo will have bookies favorite as a crowd love fighter he might get that respect from the bookies.

It will be on the gambler's decision whether to follow that trend or they will bet against the favorite.

Though it will be a waiting time for the fans who wanted to see that possible rematch, Bivol needs to beat Zurdo first before planning or accepting another fight.

They will surely aim for another rematch because it can easily attract viewers and bettors. We all know that boxing fans always want to know who is the best among the best. It will also be another opportunity for Bivol but if ever he'll faces Canelo, he must have enough time to prepare because for sure, Canelo would aim for a sure victory this time.
1073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Go home with a profit and come back to end up losing a lot. on: September 24, 2022, 07:54:46 PM
A friend of mine works in a casino (land-based) and he told me yesterday that there was a client who with a stroke of luck won a good amount, about $8k. He exchanged the chips for cash and went home. After about half an hour, my friend sees him walk back in the door and went on a gambling binge all the night, only to end up losing his winnings and more.

At the end of the session he signed the self-exclusion.

If it weren't for the fact that this person is going through a drama, the story would make you want to laugh.

Has this ever happened to you or do you know of cases like this?

This case is common because there were plenty of gamblers who come back after winning a lot. This usually happens because of greed and they disregard their losses thinking that they can win the same profit again. If that person didn't go back and just enjoyed the 8K, I think that will be used for his treatment. He should have been wiser and kept in mind that not everyone could be as lucky as him.
1074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i get banned for Card Counting in online casinos? on: September 24, 2022, 06:40:50 PM

Here the question is, have you ever seen a user getting banned from an online casino for card counting?

To be clear, card counting isn't a method to always win, it's just a method to have better odds.
Never seen it, to be honest I personally have tried counting cards but that didn't work, maybe i'm really stupid or just unlucky and I think this strategy can be applied in land-based casino but not online casinos. The online casino only banned users from action multiplying accounts and abusing bonuses, for card counting possibilities their program is developed with the most advanced intelligence.

I've tried it as well and it didn't work for me. I'm not sure if I had a mistake on counting but I guess card counting doesn't work for everyone. Yes, I haven't heard about a casino site that bans players for such a reason but better not do it if it could possibly cause banning.
1075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chinese version of Metaverse will be great for meta casinos. on: September 23, 2022, 02:50:54 PM
If we talk about a future where technology will develop much better than now, there is a possibility that AR and VR technology will also have a better form. Currently, the technology is still in development and has not yet reached its maximum stage because its appearance is still not as smooth or "live" as we see it in the real world. So I don't think it will be implemented into gambling yet because I think the price to buy the equipment is still quite expensive for most gamblers who still prefer to use the existing technology. But that will change when the equipment price can be cheaper so they can buy it easily. It all depends on how much it costs people to buy the equipment and if it's still expensive, not everyone will try it.

Due to high competition, I'm sure that gambling sites will still empose developments and improvements when it comes to the quality of the game regardless of its price. The emersion of the latest technology could still grow and have better changes in the future so we could expect that there will also be people who would spend so much to enjoy and be entertained with the latest features.
1076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much money do you leave in crypto casino? on: September 22, 2022, 03:46:46 PM
As much as possible, I don't leave my funds in crypto casino wallets. I withdraw it right away after winning because I feel safer and secure if it's in my hard wallet. We all know that the risk of hacking is already present to better safe than sorry. I just deposit when I feel like playing. I think securing our funds is always important so we can get rid of hacking.
1077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gacha Game on: September 22, 2022, 03:03:22 PM
I haven't tried this game but I'm familiar with it because one of my colleagues is addicted to it. This will only be addicting to those who always want to purchase items online but to those who only want to focus on betting and winning money or crypto, they wouldn't surely get interested in it. This is fun but will only waste bigger funds compare to regular and traditional casino games.
1078  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Twitch gambling problem and Sliker issue on: September 21, 2022, 04:29:17 AM
The issue does not lie in censoring the influencer or the social network, it is necessary to parameterize what content can be seen without warnings.

 Any form of alert is useful, since censorship is not the way to go since that only serves to create other alternatives, which exist and are not as popular as Twitch but are worse.

 It is a question of the will of the platform to create this type of alerts in the same way as they do to block audio and video due to copyright or advertising embedding.

It is possible not unless the site would pay the platform so they could run their stream freely without being blocked. I think it will be more effective if we will avoid such streams like this or as much as possible try not to fall into their trap. Gambling addiction is still our personal choice and the decision still depends on us.
1079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Choices: Gamble or Help the poor ? on: September 20, 2022, 09:20:19 AM
It is not our responsibility to help the poor but we can do it voluntarily out of love. If it is necessary to help a poor family, then I will sacrifice my one-month gambling habit to help them. I could stand and continue with life even without gambling but it will be hard for me to see a family who is suffering because of poverty. That will not solve their problem but it could ease their suffering.

Ducati is very fast this weekend, it seems the victory goes only through Ducati and Bagnaia, would be very important for Bagnaia and the championship if he can keep his form and at least finish on the podium tomorrow. For Fabio it will be difficult to get on the podium and also Aleix could make up points again. Will be an exciting race tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it.
The front row has been controlled by Ducati for tomorrow through today's qualifying and another remarkable thing is Pecco Bagnaia who is pole position for tomorrow by breaking last year's speed record of himself by setting the fastest time of 1'46,069 seconds where last year's was 1 '46,322 seconds. And yes tomorrow is another day of victory for Ducati if the Ducati rider doesn't crash in tomorrow's race.
Ducati has been consistent on his previous performances. I hope that he could maintain the same speed or even exceed it for him to beat his own record. I could also smell a good victory for Ducati tomorrow. It will be another challenging day yet he already has an edge for sure. He deserves another win this time.
