Oh, I see, it's all just a conspiracy theory. For a second I thought you were serious. Of course, the US has nothing better to do than use their secret earthquake machine to target random countries. I mean, it's not like earthquakes are a natural disaster that have been occurring for millions of years and have nothing to do with any kind of conspiracy.
He is actually serious!  It is only by mere coincidence that Turkiye (this is the official name of "Turkey") is in the middle of 3 tectonic plaques, has had documented earthquakes since the year 17 AD and that provoking an earthquake would require a level of energy that is not manageable as of today without nuclear weapons. All that does not matter to the OP, he would rather believe in whatever crap he is fed from his list of trusted media. |

To the OP, mixing children, killing and "shock value" in the same sentence (despite your post not making sense) make me think you are a psychopath. Are you not? Have you been diagnosed? Abortionists do this daily. But it doesn't seem to shock most Americans at all. Let's hope Government stops it. If they don't it will only increase. The result of abortion is the killing off of our best new talent. The nation will wane without new population and talent, except if it comes up across the border from Mexico, that is. An overshadowing result is that God will destroy America for murdering kids. Even the innocent people will be destroyed for not doing something about it.  Why do you feel entitled to decide for the woman to have an abortion or not. It's her body, her life and her right. She is not an incubator. If a woman makes an abortion so the father is not worthy in her eyes to be a father. Instead of trying to ban abortion take care of yourself, to inspire confidence of the expectant mother and don't forget about contraception. Why do you feel that women should be allowed to break their sacred trust? She got together with the man. The two of them made a trust, the man as "grantor," the woman as trustee, and the child as beneficiary. Kill the beneficiary? Rather, kill the woman trustee. If she didn't want to be trustee, she shouldn't have done it in the first place. ... BA... we have already been over this: you must stop talking to your imaginary friend, or at least try not to bring the Christian mythology into your posting if you are to be taking seriously (or any other Mythologies such as Islam, Buddhism, Zoroastrism nor Judaism... all the same). You have no right to tell others about the world -particularly yourself who have very little understanding on it. Women make the decision - in my view also along with their partner if they have one (or more). You cannot keep bringing unwanted children into the world that will not be raised to become productive members of the society. I am personally in favour of contraception largely and do no like abortion, but I am not trying to impose it in the name of a 2000 years old story. |

All Russian soldiers, their supporters, and collaborators in Ukraine will be eliminated. It is a given. Putin can keep sending them, and they will die soon after they arrive. This is an unwinnable war for Russia. You really are an unusually good representative of what seems to be the mentality of the standard Ukroid pawn. Small wonder Ukraine is losing 10 or 15 to one KIA to the Russians. It's getting more and more difficult to maintain some level of empathy for your class of cretin with every visit this board. I have to remind myself that it is in the interest of a lot of the small-hats to have the world sympathize not-at-all with the Ukroid slavs who they've decorated up with swastikas and who are the real targets of this genocide, and that there is every possibility that people who act like you are pretending to be something they are not. People who support Russia are genocidal, imperialist psychopaths. Russia is the aggressor. Always has been. Ask any of its neighbours. Yup. Another classic illustration of the cretinism which characterizes the Ukrainian Nazis under control of the Zelenzkij/Kolomoyski regime (which is itself a tool lovingly cultivated by the OSS/CIA/U.S State Dept for decades.) Well done, but the question remains as to whether you are 'for real' or LARPing as a mouth-breathing Nazi? And if the latter, for political, philosophical, or financial reasons or some combination. There are more than a few desperate 'work-from-home' wanna-be influencer people kicking around who will say and do anything which is spec'd out in a tasking. --- As for 'Russian aggression', looks to me more like since the fall of the Soviet Union Russia has been quite inward looking. Even when the Donbass people begged to join Russia they declined and instead went the ultimately futile way of trying negotiating a treaty (Minsk.) It wasn't their fault that the counter-party (Ukraine and the West) were just trying to buy time to build up for this war and never had any intention of making good on the deal. Seems that when Russia is reluctantly stirred into action, they take care of business then leave ASAP. Georgia comes to mind. In other examples (e.g., Syria) it seems like they do stick around if asked by the client and basically do what is necessary...as long as it doesn't involve crossing their master with the ' Little Horn'. Ukrainians fought the real Nazis while the Russians were watching from the back. The soldier raising the Soviet flag over the Reichstag was from Sumi. Keep on repeating the official propaganda, that only makes it even more clear that there is no legitimate reason for this aggression. You just say Nazi this or Nazi that... no argument, no credible information, ... you are the definition of a troll, a not very particularly effective one. The level of propaganda is getting off the charts here. There's whitewashing, rewriting history and then there's this! Surely there's a ton of other shit you can accuse Russians of but this  is this an attempt to polarize and radicalizing your core at the cost of alienating all objective people? Or the quality of propaganda is just a function of desperation? No attempt to do anything, no rewriting - just plainly stating what the propaganda department of the Russian Federation is deliberately forgetting, along with many other things. The effort of fighting the German Nazis in terms of territory and manpower fell into the Ukrainians greatly, which at that time did not have a country. Next time, before crying bot and fake, care to have a look a any decent history book, or do a basic search if you do not have books in your lair. I am not surprised you ate the Kremlin argument on Nazism, most have, because most do not care to have a minimal look into facts of the WW II: . According to Soviet statistics, 409,668 Ukrainians were awarded medals for bravery in the war; 961 became heroes of the Soviet Union; and 60 per cent of the 250,000-strong Soviet partisan force in Ukraine was Ukrainian. 7 MILLION UKRAINIANS SERVED IN THE RED ARMY
A common misconception in Western historiography of WWII is that the Red Army was Russian. The term “Russians” was interchangeable with “Soviet” during the existence of the USSR. In actual fact, Russians made up only 55-60 percent of the population of the USSR. This meant that 40-45 percent were non-Russian. These demographic figures were reflected in the ethnic makeup of the Red Army. While it is true that Russians were given preponderance in the officer corps, to call the Red Army “Russian” is simply to miss the point.
In actual fact, non-Russian nationalities served in the Red Army in great numbers. Seven million Ukrainians served in the Red Army, and made important contributions not only in battles in Ukraine but also in Russia – the surrender of General Paulus’ 6th Army at Stalingrad was accepted by a Ukrainian general. All told, some 7 million Ukrainians served in the Red Army, including over 350 Marshals and Generals.
So, I say it again: Who is going to teach Ukrainians to fight Nazism? The guy sitting in his comfortable chair (behind a 3 meter desk away from anyone? Will Mr. Adolf Putin teach them about being free from absolutism and have their own destiny on their hands? If so, he is going to find some obstacles in the way - they type that may cause your fall. |

^^^ The war would end almost instantly if: 1. The US and Nato pulled out of Ukraine; 2. Ukraine stopped fighting and waved the white flag. ... You are a genius! All that Ukraine needs to do is to give in to the dictatorship from Moscow and accept "some kind of punishment". You are an artist of peace. Yet, stupid as the argument is, is also false. Even if Ukraine would decide to yield, Putin would not stop there. Next could be Finland, Poland, the baltic republics, Bulgaria, Moldavia... and guess what: Ukranians would be forcibly recruited to fight those wars and Ukraine would once again in history be the scorched land that Moscow would sacrifice in case things go south for them. As usual, you are a simple mind that likes simple yet wrong answers to complex problems (no wonder a supported of Trump). ...
Do not expect any reasonable or serious argument from the guys here. One is obsessed with "fighting capitalism" and thinks Putin is communist. Other guy believes any conspiracy theory that crosses his path. There is one that accuses other of being Nazis, but calls Ukranians "Ukroids" and a couple of them rutinely repeat the Kremlin's official propaganda, which can only be accepted for people who are really desperate to accept it. Of all these, only one seems to have ever been in a war, the rest are just people who want others to die. |

I know some casinos especially for the ones that are still coming up and they will not wanna spend more on gambling softwares like having there app. This does cost lot of money and the team can be more tasking.
Since using browsers we can enjoy everything app will give us just like using app. I do prefer using app than looking for each casino's app to use.
No casino gambling that does not have the mindset of spending money in their site because the more you beautiful your site it is more it is attractive to people who is coming to gamble in your side so you want you will say if that building of reputation it is one of the things that collapse her platform especially casino gambling platform Curious that you mention that. I recently read an studio about how sites that are successful are not necessarily that beautiful and attractive. Sometimes less is more and sites that are simple and do not try to overdo the "nice interface" mantra can do well if the players find it easy and makes them focus on the bet rather than on the looks. This is not like selling cookies I am afraid. |

I guess that the elephant in the room nobody is talking about is the fct tht is nearly impossible to find arbitrage opportunities as the sites are already comparing their stakes and adjusting so that they do not fall for easy tricks. I know someone who was very good at it, but if you are caught they will ban you from the sites.
It's actually quite easy to spot arbitrage opportunities on a regular basis pre-game and live to be honest, but the returns are miniscule unless you bet humungous amounts which is why most punters avoid them. Matched/Arbitrage betting is actually a lot more popular in the UK where punters take advantage of deposit bonuses in various sites in order to exploit them and end up earning sizeable profits though they get limited/restricted later on. Which is pitty as ppl don t see some extra value that crypto bookies offers.
Just need to think a little bit outside the box …
It's definitely not that simple. They are probably afraid of the risks involved as I mentioned earlier. Of course, I am talking about arbitrage opportunities that stay there for long enough to make the bet and are also significant enough to be worth the effort. An arbitrage of 0.5% is, in my view, not enough to make the play and anything bigger is unlikely to stay in there enough time to be spotted. Also, you need accounts in many sites to catch a few chances regularly. |

https://nypost.com/2023/01/15/gambler-loses-massive-1-4-million-bet-on-chargers-jaguars-game/One bettor wasted a massive $1.4 million wager after betting on Los Angeles before the Jaguars mounted an epic comeback to beat the Chargers 31-30, according to Action Network’s Darren Rovell. It seems that a gambler has loss this massive amount (1.4 million USD) playing a bet with an odds lower than 1.01! (exactly 1.008) I think there are several lessons here: - there is not easy bet! even lower odds there is always a risk. - it's really risky playing an huge amount. This not helps gambler because the risk is much much higher then rewards! - gambling is not easy at all! it's really hard achieve a profit even for easy games! what your opinion about this gambling issue? did you had experience similar experience? how a good gambler should avoid such mistakes? I wonder whether there is some easy conclusion to be drawn that the player was addicted. We don't know his bankroll and maybe he doesn't even bother because he has billions, but if it was a substantial amount for that person, would it ever make sense to place a bet of that size at all? Saying that this person wanted to play it safe would only apply if that amount of $1.4 million is within his perfect bankroll management range. Otherwise, if someone is seeking the kick in putting up $1.4 million for the chance of winning $11,200, I would think that there is some loss of control at play because nobody would care winning $11,200 in exchange for risking over a million. That's a crazy story either way and as you already put it, there is no such thing as a 100% safe bet ever unless you are hedging somehow. But this one ended with way more than a punch in the face... Money is relative to the wealth of the individual. For most, 1M USD is a lifetime of money, if not several lifetimes in some places. However, for the whales and the big players, 1M USD is just change. It is difficult to understand for people who will struggle all their lives to make a living for their families, but there are people out there that will loose that amount and will not even blink. |

I believe that all of the casino should indicate their rules such as KYC on their terms and condition. If they haven't indicated about it, Gamblers would assume that the casino is not requiring gamblers to submit their KYC. In the future it will cause a problem between the gamblers and the casino if terms aren't indicated. If we are on the situation that there are problem on a casino that haven't indicated about KYC, Gambler has the upper hand in this kind of situation no matter how you look at it knowing that the gambler doesn't broke any rules. Casino can easily be tagged as a scammer if they refuse to pay. Though it is unlikely to happen that the casino wouldn't or forgot to put a KYC policy knowing it is a very important part. It is essential for casinos to make their policies, particularly the KYC process, readily available to players in their terms and conditions. Not only does the casino's image benefit from a clear and concise policy, but so do the players' rights. The modern digital world makes it even more important for casinos to have clear and comprehensive KYC policies to prevent any ambiguity or misinterpretation. And players can rest easy knowing the casino is trustworthy and dedicated to protecting their privacy and personal information if they have a clear Know Your Customer (KYC) policy in place. A reputable online casino will always ask its customers to complete the KYC procedure, thus this is also an excellent approach to prevent fraud and other forms of dishonest gaming. In conclusion, the casino and the players should place a high value on having a well-defined KYC procedure. It's a great way to solidify mutual trust and set the stage for a fun, stress-free gaming session for everyone involved. That is totally true. The first thing that one needs when joining a site is some minimal guarantees about the intentions and the professionalism of the owners and workers of the place and the first slap in the face is when the site is unclear about their policies, these are pages long or have a nonsensical set of conditions or are not even there. I guess that's the moment you hit the X and close the page. |

- What are some current pain points in the crypto gaming/gambling space for players?
- What would you like to see?
- What makes one game fun to play -- more so than other competitors that have similar games (ex: why you enjoy playing crypto poker on X site rather than site A)?
- Who are some absolute Degens in the space?
- Aside from BitcoinTalk (this forum) where else do you get your news that you trust (which newsletters, sites, which Youtubers, any twitter accounts)?
I kind of stopped using twitter last year. After Elon Musk bought the company it got a bit crazy with all the verified users that started trolling. From time to time I check a few feeds, but don't really use it anymore for any news and upcoming events. Bitcointalk is the main source for me about anything new going on in the crypto gambling community. The main criteria for me when it comes to where I play poker is the rake back percentages and the regular promotions. When I can get a few tournament dollars or free sit n go tickets each week that I am happy to play there regularly. I used to test any new poker website and when I managed to make a decent return on my first deposit than I would stick around. After playing for many years now it's all about keeping my bankroll and only make withdrawals from my winnings. The main problem I see is that on some websites there are not enough active gamblers, it's hard to get a full table going, especially after the rush hours. It would be nice to see some promotions to keep players more active and play more. I think that using twitter is a good idea as long as you follow the right people and ignore the noise as much as possible. In my case, I do not go there looking for people to argue with or to make a point, but rather to listen to some people who I know to be professionals and have something that is really worth listening. I do not care much about who is the owner. You do not trust news, you trust people. |

One of the major reasons for the war is that Ukraine and Russia were always moving towards togetherness among the common people. The West can't take this, because it's a push-back against their One-World-Government ideals... ideals that are in the form of old USSR expansion, if not in they mode or style of the USSR. But there are always those in both Russia and Ukraine who want to rule their own country without the other. Russia wasn't in a real, do-or-die fighting mode. They are being pushed towards that by the West interfering in Ukraine. Without the West, Ukraine is simply in a 'Die' mode. At least at this stage of the game. The point is that any nation that has the ability to fight, if it fights with all its strength in forceful do-or-die fashion, can often beat many other nations that it normally wouldn't succeed against. The people of Ukraine are essentially dead as far as their effectiveness. Any effectiveness that they have in the future will only be US and Nato effectiveness. The West is not in do-or-die mode. At least not the people. In fact, the people are starting to become vocal in their protesting against West involvement in Ukraine. Russia, on the other hand, is a united nation - even if there are those who don't like certain aspects of their country or government. They aren't in a do-or-die mode yet, but the West is pushing them in that direction more and more. If they ever get into that mode, they will sweep across Europe something like the hordes of Genghis Khan. Nothing will stop them. Not even nukes, especially since they can fight back with nukes. There reason for the war is Russia invaded Ukraine and won't leave. That's the reason. Most common people from Ukraine and Russia did not hold much of a grudge IMHO. Creating such hate and issues where there were not is all Moscow's doing. Two army corps fighting an illegal war in the Donbas for years goes a long way into creating a false narrative of hate. You may be right, the Kremlin is scared of having what many Russian see as the poor brother being successful in an alliance with Europe. That cannot be uh? |

^^^ Need a job? Hire on in Russia. Good pay. With the West pushing, more workers needed.. How is your citizenship application BA? I heard about those jobs you are talking about, they seem that even common criminals from any prison are accepted. The economy must be going great. I wonder where are all those bloggers and tiktokers that are in military age and promote the war from the media... "fighting hard with they keyboards" just like you? All those who are absolutely fine with others dying while they pretend to know anything about war. The western (global?) propaganda first about covid was something to see. Then just seeing the same playbook thrown at Ukraine was also insane. I don't care about partisan politics, I like seeing the truth. And the west has been getting blown the f*** out of Bahkmut for months on end now. Radio silence from the mainstream.
Would that be the same Bakhmut where Prigozhin buried thousands of criminals recruited from prisons and was still unable to take it? Great success for Russia and a great metaphor for their entire special operation. One must rekon that is faster than 10 years in deathrow awaiting execution. |

Yet the RF GDP drops and dropsssss....... It seems to me that Putin would be a CIA operative and a brilliant one.
There is no accurate way to measure Russian GDP. You can't use standard banking measurements, because Russia is exporting and and growing in other ways. Standard measurements don't work because of the sanctions. For example, if there is a 100 acre farm in the US, and the farm doesn't produce much if any product to sell to the American market, does that mean the farm dies? Not necessarily. After all, 100 acres is large enough to feed the family of 6 that owns it, plus a whole bunch of families in the area. Yet, none of that will be counted as part of the GDP for that farm, because they are not in the system of counting that way. Russia is similar. They are simply not operating GDP-wise in the way that the West counts GDP. This might mean that they are even more successful in ways that the West doesn't measure. And actually, that seems to be the way it is. Your usual confusion about economy and general lack of knowledge at full-throttle again. There is no way of accurately measuring any GDP, all of them are through indirect measures. Funds, credit and investment agencies routinely estimate growth and economy in many countries through indirect measures such as movement in seaports, exports, imports, traffic, power consumption... there is little doubt about what is happening to the RF economy. GDP is GDP, it is not about how "the west" counts it nor is about "growing in a different way". You are so used to using sources that distort reality and make things "an opinion" when there are hard facts that you think you can talk your way out of an economic crisis - bad news is you can't, the economy does not care about excuses. Yet, UK economy is tanking, unlike Russian one https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-04/boe-signals-worst-years-for-uk-growth-since-great-depressionhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/imf-recession-germany-uk-gdp-2023-b2272655.htmlRE UK, absolutely, the IMF and others have already mentioned that there will be recession or very little growth across the west. Controlling the inflation requires creating a crisis by raising interest rates and that is what the FED, the BoE and the ECB are doing and it is likely to last 1 or even 2 years. However, that does not mean RF economy is going well or "growing in a different manner". Many qualified workers, the people you need to run a economy have emigrated, the commodities need to be exported to countries like China at a lower cost and if the Saudis decide tomorrow to cut production, the cut in flow of cash into Putin's army would be demolishing. Nope, RF's GDP, employment and salaries, not to mention the interest rates for the Ruble do not show a prosperous growing country (in "any manner"). The RF is re-purposing its economy to sustain a long war effort. A war that would confer the RF no economical gain of any type, even if all the objectives were achieved. Even by creating statelets in the Donbass and keeping the "bridge to Crimea", the economic and production facilities have been destroyed. Nothing to gain on this war for RF, Ukraine nor Europe. Guess who is happy? |

He's exemplar of Cantillionaire privilege.
I don't know what that means, It comes from the term 'Cantillion effect' which when applied to this means that those closest to the printer take advantage of central bank policies to get rich, while those same policies erode the economic capacity of the majority of the population. Nah, Bitcoin and Value Investing (Warren's Buffet well-known strategy) are perfectly compatible because there is enough market and enough investment opportunities for all.
I agree, and I would add that Buffett and value investing, while not fighting against the establishment, are well aware that cash is devaluing, and the way to fight it is to buy shares in companies that beat inflation. With Warren's wealth, it is impossible not to have a network that confers advantage when making deals and access to many phones and certainly political influence and the ability to gather first-class information. However, he does not close "shark" style deals and has a "friendly" attitude in general. I think that the philosophy is that there are so many companies, stocks and possible deals to make that making enemies, sharking companies or making hostile acquisitions is simply not needed. You can simply take advantage of the market craziness and do really well. |

Nah, Bitcoin and Value Investing (Warren's Buffet well-known strategy) are perfectly compatible because there is enough market and enough investment opportunities for all. Warren does not invest (at least not Berkshire's money) in bitcoin, gold or any commodity, only in companies or entities that have a balance sheet because that is how him and his team decide if a business has potential or not, not by looking at scarcity or demand which is what you'd do with crypto.
His company or personal relevance however are not threatened by bitcoin or crypto, at most he may have opportunities for investment in companies that operate in that area someday.

I think is not as much about the proportion but rather about the absolute sum and what you have decided that you would like to have to live with. If you passive income cn cover what you have decided that your lifestyle requires, you do not have to work or do it in a conventional sense at least. You may have to keep working if that is not the case no matter which is more.

Soaring Death Toll Gives Grim Insight Into Russian Tactics
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/02/us/politics/ukraine-russia-casualties.htmlWASHINGTON — Moscow is sending poorly trained recruits, including convicts, to the front lines in eastern Ukraine to pave the way for more seasoned fighters, U.S. and allied officials say. The number of Russian troops killed and wounded in Ukraine is approaching 200,000, a stark symbol of just how badly President Vladimir V. Putin’s invasion has gone, according to American and other Western officials.
While the officials caution that casualties are notoriously difficult to estimate, particularly because Moscow is believed to routinely undercount its war dead and injured, they say the slaughter from fighting in and around the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut and the town of Soledar has ballooned what was already a heavy toll. With Moscow desperate for a major battlefield victory and viewing Bakhmut as the key to seizing the entire eastern Donbas area, the Russian military has sent poorly trained recruits and former convicts to the front lines, straight into the path of Ukrainian shelling and machine guns. The result, American officials say, has been hundreds of troops killed or injured a day. Russia analysts say that the loss of life is unlikely to be a deterrent to Mr. Putin’s war aims. He has no political opposition at home and has framed the war as the kind of struggle the country faced in World War II, when more than 8 million Soviet troops died. U.S. officials have said that they believe that Mr. Putin can sustain hundreds of thousands of casualties in Ukraine, although higher numbers could cut into his political support. Ukraine’s casualty figures are also difficult to ascertain, given Kyiv’s reluctance to disclose its own wartime losses. But in Bakhmut, hundreds of Ukrainian troops have been wounded and killed daily at times as well, officials said. Better trained infantry formations are kept in reserve to safeguard them, while lesser prepared troops, such as those in the territorial defense units, are kept on the front line and bear the brunt of shelling. The last public Biden administration estimate of casualties came last November, when Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that more than 100,000 troops on each side had been killed and wounded since the war began. At the time, officials said privately that the numbers were closer to 120,000. “I would say it’s significantly well over 100,000 now,” General Milley said at a news conference last month in Germany, adding that the Russian toll included “regular military, and also their mercenaries in the Wagner Group.” That does not include bodies cremated by Russians in the mobile crematoriums. No bodies, no payments to families. Russians do not care how many of its citizens they kill in this clusterfuck. Nobody is counting them. The reports from the frontlines show that they send them in waves with losses in the 80%+ for each wave. Some Ukrainian servicemen describe the attack on Bahmut as a surreal Zombie movie. The Wagnerites get a few rounds of 7.62 and keep going until they lose enough blood and drop dead. Nobody is picking up their bodies, new waves come in, and get chopped up, and this is repeated, for each 100m of advance. I think Putin is prepared to sacrifice millions, so I think Ukrainians need to change something, as they might not be able to sustain this type of attrition war. Hint: Logistics wins wars. Yep, numbers are not to be ignored that is for sure. You certainly need a number of troops in the ground to hold a territory and that is clear to everyone. A different matter is driving an offensive action without the right support of combined arms - it is the closes to trying to run towards a machine gun with 200 people in the hope that 10 will make it there. On paper, it works, 10 people get to the machine gun and kill the operators. In reality, the 200 guys may choose to shoot the officers by the back. Putin is certainly ready to use (others) lives, but there may be a point in which the lower ranks stop accepting being cannon fodder.
War is essentially never worth it. But, despite losses, Russia has taken back much of its land that Ukraine has illegally held for some time now.
Let's see here... Russia's economy and relationship development within BRICS has never gone better ... ... Some say that 'the Russians' played opossum for a two or three decades while they installed their operatives in the West. Looks entirely possible to me. Yet the RF GDP drops and dropsssss....... It seems to me that Putin would be a CIA operative and a brilliant one. |

Even if someone is willing to lend you for bitcoin, buying a very variable asset such as crypto with a loan is like playing Russian Roulette. There is a chance it will go well and a chance it will go terrible and you will be left with a load to pay a nothing in return. There is also a chance that it goes well and you decide to double because it is such a good idea... you know and the loose.

It can be unsecure to download the app from the gambling site. I understand that sometimes it is the only opportunity to download the app but it must be named, well-known casino - in the other way the best way to gamble using PC or mobile browser at least. Play Store gives us guarantee(not 100% but it is much better than nothing) that the app is secure and you don`t lose all your private data.
I was living in the country before, my native country when apps were downloaded from banks there were many hacks and they stole people's money, the safest way was to do it from the personal pc, pp like these have to be Well downloaded and they can't make any kind of error, I downloaded an app the other day but it crashed, and it was from the play store, and that gave me a bad feeling, I didn't trust much, and it was for a casino, I blamed the internet, but since so many bad things have happened with the apps I decided not to trust and not play much from the phone. It is so. There are different rules how to avoid such situations but when you use PC, you defend yourself much easier. Installing the app, you give several permissions to the app and you don`t know what it would do with your phone. Using web browser more secure, even if it is mobile browser. Yeah! I also think that at present, those who use a personal computer are still much more strongly protected from intruders. And you are right - when, for example, in an Android application you give permissions by choosing from the list that the application requests, you usually do not understand why certain permissions are needed. And of course, scammers of all stripes should, or rather are even obliged to use such loopholes. And they obviously take advantage of those permission loopholes. On a personal computer, all the same, this user approaches more carefully, not as easily as on a smartphone, when he presses all permissions in a row. And he doesn’t even think about the security and consequences of granting such permissions at all. So it's safer to do everything not on a mobile phone, but on a personal computer. In my opinion, both are high risk from hackers/intruders since you are downloading an application that you don't know what else is installed on your device, and like on the phone you will just realize that it's heating up even though you are not using it. then it means the background apps are running without you knowing the same with the desktop you can only see it on the running processes via the task manager. apps which are in an app store and in general safe to play and install in your device, but anyway security is not really an issue for most people who do activities on-line. But regardless, it is true that a desktop will provide some interface advantage, due to it, I think that protecting your privacy is also better guaranteed with this system that seems innovative, but is no. |
