At https://duel.com/fairness they state games are provably fair. People should be able to reproduce the outcome using the seeds and that the random number generator is unmodified. I haven't checked but I really doubt that if the games weren't really provably fair this would not have already been discovered and exposed to the community. If the games are fair you can safely assume the same as for the 0% edge. I knew about the Provably Fairness and ways to verify it but if a game is truly provably fair, it does not mean you are playing a game with 0% house edge. As if it is fact like that, other casinos and other games would advertise themselves as 0% house edge already. I saw many casinos with games and marks as Provably Fair especially big casinos with Provably Fairness Verifiers from third party sites and community as well. I don't master the term 0% house edge but your explanation on it sounds not accurate. Probably fair and zero house advantage are two entirely different things and it is well that you separated them. The provably fair only can be used to prove that the game outcome is not manipulated after the bet, that is, the outcome can be checked by using server/client seeds and hashes. It does not mean that the payout structure is player-friendly and eliminates the mathematical casino advantage. It is possible to have a game that is 100% provably fair and exhibits an integrated house edge with its odds table. When Duel is asserting 0% advantage, that would be due to their payout model or fee structure and not due to fairness itself. Both claims should not be thought of as the same thing, they should be considered separately.

You missed the quotation mark: "arbitrajge". Moreover, it seems you're trying to blame me for something, and frankly, I don't understand your point. If that's the case, I insist: did you actually read the quotation marks? In any event, arbitrage isn't illegal, and besides, that's not the focus of my comment. Your assertion, in response to one of my comments, that Cloudbet doesn't care, seems misguided. Your message comes across as insistent and unconstructive.
I wasn't blaming you for anything. I was simply asking why call it an arbitrage bet if it wasn't and if you hadn't perhaps placed the opposite kind of bet earlier. Had you written about the odds shifting in the post I quoted previously, then I would have known what you were talking about. I know that arbitrage betting isn't illegal but some casinos don't allow it. As logfiles mentioned, there have been cases where people have lost their winnings or had their money confiscated because they made arbitrage bets. The reason why I said that Cloudbet doesn't seem to mind what I thought was arbitrage betting (regardless of the quotes) is because they posted immediately after you and didn't say anything about it. Anyways, everything is clear now. I believe that this was largely a case of wrong words and not ill will on anybody. Whenever arbitrage is brought up, there is a fast reaction due to the fact that certain sportsbooks limit or nullify accounts in case they suspect that strategy. One should seek clarification but not as an accusation. True arbitrage and odds changing since a bet are not one and the same. We also can not make a true evaluation of the position of Cloudbet based on a single reply in a forum. It was good the explanation cleared the way and made progress in all at the place.

Fortunately, as of today we’ve upgraded our support services and now provide 24/7 support. This means situations like this shouldn’t happen again in the future. 😉
Service satisfaction is one factor why a gambler stays long in a casino (or does not leave anymore). Having a 24/7 working support system makes every gambler feel comfortable. So keep it that way. Issues and negative feedback are not something we have to ignore and make us down but rather become a tool for improvement. This also means that users are concerned about the casino and need to help it grow. Well done. Any sportsbook or casino platform can have a lot of trust in providing reliable 24/7 support. When players are assured that someone is always on hand to promptly respond they become more confident especially when the players are making withdrawals, technical issues or even when there is a dispute with the bets. Even the negative experience can be transformed into a positive one due to fast and helpful support. In addition, positive criticism by users must never be overlooked, but should be received to show what should be done better. Listening and customization implies a sense of professionalism and long-term commitment on the part of a platform. Great decision made by Gamblr.io to update their support system.

I just noticed that now the market is dumping, it feels like promotions like signature campaigns are getting fewer on the forum.
During bull season, casinos and gambling sites probably expect people to gamble more, since everyone feels richer. But during bear season, most gamblers tighten their budget and spend less. So does that mean casinos also reduce their promotions when the market is down? Is this what we’re seeing now?
Or is it just coincidence?
What do you guys think, have you noticed the same trend?
I don't think so, on the contrary, they should be promoting more on the bear market. Market is down and so there could be more gamblers that might want to take the risk so that they fiat could go up just like in the bull run. So nothing will change, casinos are all in the business of money. Maybe it's just a coincidence that there are fewer campaigns. But still, there could be new casinos that are going to born, regardless of the market. And do we have the numbers though to back up this claim that fewer signature campaigns during the worst time of the market? Just asking and see and compare it during the bull run. But then again, as I have said, it could be just a coincidence and nothing more. I believe that both of these points of view might be correct to some extent. During bull markets, casinos tend to win more due to more traffic by more players and larger deposits, thus they need not worry about running large promotions and signature campaigns. During bear markets, certain platforms can cut marketing budget in order to contain expenditure. Nevertheless, some can in fact boost promotions by getting more people to use the site and fight over limited expenditure. A campaign drop does not necessarily reflect a rule, though it may vary with the strategy, reserves and plans of growth of any casino. It is difficult to demonstrate a definite trend without actual campaign statistics over market cycles. Either it can be market effect - or timing.

~ I just wonder if that slot available, how people reaction to that  I wouldn't play that kind of game. This character is disgusting. Just yesterday I read in a Telegram that of all the babies he ate, he considered Russian babies to be the most delicious. Please note that there is no longer a question of whether this is true or not. Everything is already assumed to be true. So I don't think this theme would be good for the slot. Gambling should not be associated with anything negative. This is acceptable at the level of a meme that gets into the current topic, but branding the game with this character is hardly appropriate. I understand your concern. Slots must have entertaining, as opposed to disturbing or contentious, slot themes and characters since branding has a role in influencing the way players identify with a game. In case a character bears negative or objectionable narratives even as rumors, it may ruin the popularity and credibility surrounding the slot. Creative themes, neutral or humorous ones tend to be more successful on gambling platforms as they are probably the themes that will not make most users feel unsafe. Short-term hype can be made by memes, and the lasting success can be achieved due to positive and well-accepted game design decisions.

If we are honest with ourselves, we will all agree that we gamble for money most times, not always, as fun. There are times gamblers gamble for fun, and it's okay to be pained when you lose even if it's just for entertainment. We are human, so losing to others is not what we wish for, so even if it's not major for the money, losing is painful. I can only say for those people that sleep, wake and eat in the gambling hall, they aren't there for fun, even though they started with that, or they can't accept that they are gambling for money; they are gambling for the money.
Yep, it's hard for people like us to gamble just for fun, because get more money still become important part for us. Gambling for fun only can be achieved by a gamblee that not allowing his brain focus on money. But focus on entertaining, let say a sport gambler can say if he gamble for entertaining if his betting only to makes him more enthusiastic about the match he wants to watch. So, his betting outcome is not his priorities, he only focus about sport entertainment. A for fun gambling is not easy to be achieved because mostly gambler will try to double the money. Not all gambler can reach this level, I agree with you most of them is a gambler for gain not fun nor entertaining. I concur with both of you that, most gambling is driven by money even when individuals say that they do it just to have fun. The reality is that as soon as there is real money in question, there is an automatic attachment of emotions. Victory is sweet and defeat is painful thus it is hard to remain just an entertainer. Few people with the discipline to become gamblers are able to treat gambling as a payment to enjoy a game. The majority of the individuals are later inclined to switch fun to making profits, and that is where the risk and bad habits are likely to start.

What do you guys think, have you noticed the same trend? Trends can change as market trends change, but I think casino promotions will continue even if there may not be as many new ones. I haven't looked into the details of what you're worried about, but it's a possibility given the changing interests in the industry. The gambling industry is still considered one of the most profitable sectors and interest in it has not decreased drastically, and in fact, it tends to increase along with population growth and economic improvements at the low dan midle level. However, you may be right that the market can trigger enthusiastic changes in this industry. I do not believe that it is necessarily only coincidence, but they do not happen in all cases. With bull markets, casinos and crypto gambling sites tend to promote more and create signature campaigns since the user base grows as well as deposits as people are more confident about their money. During a bear market, the marketing budgets will be tightened, and thus we might witness less new campaign or smaller promo sizes. With that being said, gambling businesses still require constant traffic, and thus they do not cease promotions any time soon. Instead, they change strategy - less big and aggressive campaigns, more retention offers and smaller targeted bonuses.

I was really hoping to read some good news and to see that this is over and everyone got their money, but unfortunately this is the second time you miss the deadline you set yourself. This is really unfortunate!
Seeing how things are getting out of hand, I might have to pause all form of promotion for Betmoco till they are able to resolve these issues.. I'm still hoping the withdrawals are released in the next 24hrs..Ive spoken with the team and they confirmed it will be sorted out in 24hrs.. for a new brand this is not a good way to earn the trust of potential players.. once everything is settled and the withdrawal system is back to normal then we might see how things would turn out.. for now their reputation is hanging at a very slight corner and if they don't take it seriously, they might end up ruining the little they've built on bitcointalk.. I'm pleading with everyone to be patient with them a bit.. This is best decision to do since its hard to continue promoting their service especially if they face lots of backlash from community. So best to wait for them to do action and resolve those issue, since this situation happening is a good test to see if they are reliable casino. But since they are responding, I guess maybe there's a chance that they might fix all the issues they are facing. What people could really do for now is to extend their patience then see what actions done by this casinos towards those issues. I believe that the action of postponing promotion is a decent and responsible gesture in this case. Once a casino begins to miss their own payment funds, alarms are automatically sounded off by both players and partners. This is a very fragile space as far as trust is concerned, particularly in Bitcointalk where reputation is a significant concern. The fact that the team is still talking is good, yet words only do not suffice, users should be able to see the withdrawals being done. This will be a time that will actually demonstrate the seriousness and reliability of Betmoco or not. In the meantime, care and forbearance are be-warned.

I have to agree with you totally on this. There are users who are very skeptical about new projects or old projects in a new platform. ... That’s why it’s important for the casino/service to notify its users about any downtime in order to avoid confusion. Users tend to be very sensitive when their money is at stake and they may start to worry when they see that the website is down or when they can’t access it for whatever reason. Fortunately, that’s not the case here. Some of these issues are not from the server side and could be resolved by waiting a bit, opening another tab, clearing the cache, trying another browser etc.
In this case, it seems (but not necessarily) the issue was on the user side as the error message states that the browser failed to load a .js file. Well there's provably room for improvements and for sure that what suggestions read by support here will be taken consideration. Maybe in future if there's possible big issues that can cause downtime they start to announce it to notify their community. I tried to check their site now and everything works fine. Also people need to check if there's some issues at their end, because sometimes they might experience this since their browser and network used caused this problems. users experience frustration when a new platform has gone down, particularly when they have invested real money into it. It is significant to maintain trust through clear communication concerning the maintenance or possible problems. Meanwhile, a lot of access issues can also be on the client side, including browser cache errors, network issues, or transient .js error. These can be fixed by trying a different browser, refreshing or clearing the cache. It is good to know that ACEBET is running well at the moment, and hopefully they keep on enhancing the communication of the future concerns.

Once there is something that has been uttered with how you reason, it does not really matter if it's a physical casino or online; your ability to control and stand with your decision will be limited. The only difference will be that in an online casino there is no one to fight with or argue with or accuse of being the reason you are losing; all the frustration is also on your wager limit and choice of games.
That is true, hence, in my opinion, the impact is the same whether you play online or offline. But more than likely, when you play in physical casino and you're drunk, they will be affected. So there's more people involved than when you are playing solo online. You don't have to bother others if you are just playing online and drinking solo at home. It is a fact that gambling with a drink will impair your judgment whether online or real casino. The environment is the main difference. When in a physical casino when one is drunk he/she will feel like acting out, becoming frustrated or even arguing with other people around him/her. On the Internet, you are pretty much in solitude, and the only tangible effect is the effect it has on your bets and decision-making. Anyhow, alcohol reduces your levels of self-control hence you can be sure that you can lose money more quickly. As an individual, I will always make an effort not to drink during gambling, irrespective of the platform.

Several times I’ve had an off bet with a close friend and even with my brother and at the end of the day the the agreement were not honored, we get mad at each other initially but at the end of the day we just get over it and didn’t really take it to heart. We know the implications of what this kind of thing can bring to the family, friends and relatives so it’s even more advisable not to bet with a close friend or relative if you know you’re not easily letting go of anything just for peace to reign.
You are very lucky to have that kind of people around you, who do not seem to hold a grudge on bets or unpaid money, because that kind of stuff is what destroys family and friendships here in the country I live in. Since we are going through a very complex economical crisis, money has become more important than ever and it can mark the difference between death and life sometimes. I have seen people here who literally commit murder over an unpaid debt of 50$. I assume where you live things are different, so that is good for you. You should learn from experiences in other countries and previous experiences you have had yourself and never bet with friends and family member ever again. It is not worth it, to risk getting a relationship to end because a relatively small amount of money. Admittedly, even in certain areas, a trivial bet will result in a bloody battle, in case of a shortage of money. I believe that the appreciation and trust amongst friends or family is more important. When everybody can forget about minor differences, as it happened to you, it is all okay, but this is not very common. Personally, I have seen the negative side of it when I bet with a close friend or even with a relative. There is no valued money that is worth losing a friend or a family. The first should always be peace and trust.

When some are new to gambling, the first-time welcome winning luck makes some of them start thinking that gambling winning is very easy and simple and they can make a living from it. As time goes on, they keep on losing; instead of changing that mindset, they will still continue to go by that force of hope until they later end up ruining their life.
If someone is new to gambling, the first time winning is always a trap because its purpose is to make newbies believe that gambling is easy to win and for them to remain consistent in gambling so they will keep losing their money. It's easy for people who have lost so much money in gambling to change their mindset because they have lost the money they can't afford to lose, and they will keep chasing losses in order for them to recover the lost money. If we are to go by this, your logic of new gamblers winning is a trap set by the casino for them. Are you also, on the other hand, trying to say the casino knows who is new and who is not, and as such, they try to make winning a bit easier for the new gamblers and harder for us who are old in the game? Because I don't usually buy into that logic, it's just a coincidence that some newbies are lucky to win during their first time trying; other times their lucky charm takes a break and allows them to face reality. I also agree that gambling cannot be considered as entertainment. New entrants who firstly win on the first try tend to get a misleading impression that winning is easy and he even might make money out of it. The reality is that the house always has a higher chance of winning and it is always typical to chase the losses after the fortune is lost. What appears as fun can just be stress and money trouble. Entertainment must be harmless and entertaining, yet gambling can be very risky not only in money but also in life.

Everyone is playing safe here including the casinos that are providing the games service for gamblers to try their luck. Luck from gamblers is what these casinos are scared of and it wouldn't be nice if they failed to add limit to how much you can gamble when betting. At least this will limit gamblers from betting too high that could make them bankrupt casino if their luck hit a jackpot. Very well, casinos have to be very clear and specific on that matter, putting in place mechanism that makes running into bankruptcy impossible for the casino and also keeping them in business all the time, this is the first thing for team to do before going live with they casino operations there must work out modalities that keep them in business and also not allowing their fear to limit the players so much at least not in a noticeable way and manners. the key to any crypto casino is risk management. None of the KYC sites provide greater freedom to players, yet casinos require powerful systems that prevent them against extreme situations, such as a casino on a hot streak, who may find themselves in serious liquidity problems. Proper bankroll management and setting reasonable betting limits can make the casino remain in business but not to restrict players too much. The transparency is also important as well--gamblers must be aware of the limits ahead of time, and casinos must have automated systems that will balance the freedom of the players with the security of the operations. It is all about to keep the games just, interesting, and sustainable to both parties.

Monthly bonus is out! Check your email guys. I have decent monthly bonus although I expect a little bit higher since I’m wagering more actively this January compared last month but still I get close to the previous monthly bonus. Bonus money go straight to the casino bankroll as usual.  It is good to hear the monthly bonus was finally lowered. The monthly I have with Stake is typically pegged to not only total wager but net loss, type of game, and overall activity pattern, and therefore, at times you wager more and the bonus does not increase as high as projected. Many players lose their memory that heavy winning session may make the calculation less too. Nevertheless, it is not a bad thing at all to approach your former bonus. Good move forwarding it directly to bankroll, that is the most effective to stretch value. Do you intend to use it to play slots or sports bets mostly this month?

I have a small suggestion that instead of using relative words like "tomorrow" mentioning the exact date will make things clearer for the users. Different timezones and repeated updates often create confusion. Giving exact date + time will help everyone understand the same expectation. The task is not easy especially when you have to review many withdrawal manuals at once. I hope the process will normalize quickly and the pending withdrawals will be completed smoothly.
I have been very use to the word a lot to refer the next day but with what you said it is very correct because there are a lot of countries here and if I'm not mistaken I think all of them doesn't have the same time and that's to say that what the time is saying on one country is not the same with what another country would have so there would definitely be a misunderstanding from the word tomorrow if someone is using it for description, so actually the right way is using a date to differentiate it because a date is something that is usually accurate even with those differences on time. Although is good when the two people that's having the conversation has the same time in common, let's say your time and mine are the same then it could be very understandable. You have an excellent point with the use of precise dates rather than the inclusion of relative words such as tomorrow. It is easy to cause confusion with users in different countries and time zones, particularly in cases involving withdrawal updates, or even deadlines of any kind. Communication would be considerably more understandable to all in the event of the use of a specific date and preferably the time in a typical format (such as UTC). It is also useful to prevent the repetition of follow up or confusion where the follow ups are regular. I concur that although tomorrow is acceptable in an individual talk, in the case of a global company such as Betmoco, accuracy is certainly the way to go.

I don't think that's possible, as it poses too many risks for citizens themselves. Soldiers who sign contracts receive good salaries, and online gambling can drain all of a player's savings, with consequences that can vary greatly. I think special gambling zones will appear, something like Monaco, but it's difficult to say what the demand will be.
The law is not going to force people to gamble. The law will only make it legal for citizens to gamble without fear, as some of them are already gambling even when it's not legal, and the gambling industry will have to legally be taxed, which will bring in more revenue to the country not looking at it on the war currently going on but from an economic standpoint. Even war may not be enough to make a country legalize gambling since the dangers to citizens are high especially to the soldiers who are on a guaranteed contract with a fixed pay. Gambling may soon empty personal pockets and cause severe social impacts. More probable to be witnessed are prescribed gambling districts, like Monaco, in which the sport is regulated and checked. Legalization does not make people gamble, it will just enable those who do it illegally to continue doing so without the fear of being caught. Economically, a decision to regulate and tax gambling will be a significant source of income, regardless of the aspects of war.

Have came across many people talked about positive mentality or mindset while gambling, and of course it's good to have positive mindset or mentality while gambling but, to what extent would you keep losing to understand that not all time you would keep counting on positive mentality or mindset than drawing a close check of your gambling statics to know that you don't need only positive mindset rather you need strategies to get winning instead of keep losing without adequate planning.
The fact is the mindset doesn't make you a winner, it keeps you disciplined for the winnings days. Some gamblers gets carried away by their emotions more often than normal, after every loss they begin to act vvengeful. not that any of these would guarantee you winnings, but they help you avoid unnecessary losses. These kind of losses looks more like a set back and over time because you know you have been losing, you just tell yourself that you won't win and it happens accordingly...To me, mindset of a gambler should be neutral as possible. It keeps your balances without thinking too much about wins or losses. You can't be more positive than negative or the other way round.. staying neutral sounds more like it... A positive mindset will always keep you happy and enjoy everything very well and because of this, you will not get emotional easily. Emotion is the weakest point which causes a lot of harm to every gambler. If you have a positive mindset, you can stay away from that emotion because if your mind is fresh and happy, emotion does not work. At that time, even if you lose money, that loss can be accepted very easily. However, normally, most gamblers take bigger risks to recover that loss, and they deposit again to recover that loss, and due to such panic decisions, they have to lose frequently. I do concur with your arguments. Positive attitude cannot make one always win but it is necessary to control emotions. The majority of the losses occur when the gamblers make hasty decisions or when attempting to fruitlessly pursue a loss due to frustration. Being impartial, as you said, is a way of keeping disciplined and avoid taking unwanted risks yet being able to enjoy the game. Positive thinking helps the mind to be calm thus easy to accept losses and also easy to avoid panicking decisions. Nonetheless, the mentality is not a sufficient success factor; it is strategy and planning that can bring victory. Mindset is a safety net and strategy is the success tool in a nutshell.

I think that prizes for the EarnBet wagering contest have been distributed. It was one of those nice surprises... I decided to check EarnBet, and I saw I have a nice balance waiting for me there. I guess it's from a wagering contest.
I think so, I noticed the balance yesterday and played with it but unfortunately lose it all quickly  I guess you are the 1st winner on the wagering contest since there was $120 in my balance when I logged in yesterday which is the reward for the 2nd winner. I have no idea how much I have wagered during the contest but I believe it is no more than $15k. It is a tremendous unforeseen advantage to log in to, congratulations, should it be the result of the betting contest. It demonstrates that even the players who had a middle-range volume thus had a decent chance this round. Shame you consumed it too quick, but that is how bonus money usually passes in when we bet a little bigger. It would be the hope of EarnBet that the final standings and bet amounts be provided - it would make everyone realize how competitive the competition was.

And in principle, I believe that the casino will also be open to criticism, as any good business should be. Another thing is people who cheat and, when they get caught, try to blackmail the casino in the thread.
Fully agree. The most useful thing a forum can offer any casino discussed here is honest feedback that can be openly debated. Platforms that are specifically designed for reviews usually do not provide an opportunity to develop the idea expressed in a review or to critique it. Here, however, discussion makes it possible to arrive at a truly balanced position that takes a wide range of opinions into account. That is why everyone trusts the casino sites on this forum, especially those sites with very active and positive discussions. And to take advantage of these things, new casino sites are constantly coming to this forum and promoting themselves. I have not gambled on any site outside this forum so far. Because I cannot trust those sites that are not on this forum and those sites that do not have positive discussions on Ann. The positive discussions here are not just feedback, they are a great asset for casino sites. I disagree with you both that one of the greatest strengths here in this forum is the open discussion. Honest feedback (both positive and negative) assists in establishing transparency and providing players with a more realistic perspective of the way, in which a casino functions. Simultaneously, it is also necessary to divide real complaints and situations when users violate the rules and then attempt to make the platform publicly pressurized. ANN threads that are actively used with real-life interaction, resolved, and support responses visible tend to provide greater levels of trust than review sites. Nevertheless, regardless of how good the conversations are, players are advised to be cautious when it comes to testing the waters of any casino and begin with small amounts before they can confidently place their trust on the casino.

The live chat works, but you have to play around with the categories as it tries to see if it can solve your problem with pre-generated content. Ideally, choose options that best suit your problem.
For instance, you can try to select Casino and then select Other in order to be queued for a live agent.
Which is reasonable considering there are a lot of people who will ask simple questions like "where is X feature I couldn't find it" and having a real person answering that would be futile and waste of resources and some AI chatbot could answer that if it's good enough. Only when you face serious trouble like having trouble with withdrawing or not credit the correct amount etc etc hose real money problems are the only reasons where a live chat support would be needed, and if you insist, eventually you do get them, they are there. That’s the problem, there will always be people who are used to spoon-feeding, and we can’t avoid that kind of situation. Whether the question is important or not, or a waste of resources or not, live support is still crucial and feedback matters. But yeah, for questions like that, AI can handle them. Have you tried reaching out to support? How was the response and response time compared to other known casinos here in the forum? The category-based live chat is a trend today and it is logical since the questions posed by most users are rather simple and can be answered immediately through a built-in automatic response. It is time-saving to the support teams and players. Nevertheless, even with real money, human agents cannot be offloaded as the matter of missing credits or holding up on withdrawal, where review by personal judgment is needed. Artificial intelligence assistant can be used to assist, but it should not entirely replace humans. Response time can be satisfactory in most casinos I used in case you select the right category and wait in the queue.
