I will not mention any particular gambling casinos, but what are your thought if the casino or casinos with good feedback from the community, but with one unresolved scam accusation but from all angles, the accusation is legit with all the screenshots, transaction hash email conversation are provided by the complainant lets say he is not allowed to withdraw his earnings amounting to $100k but from all angles the accusation is valid, don't you think with thousand good feedback, its enough for the casino to lose his reputation with one legit accusation.

If the accusation is 100% legit, then yes it is enough to ruin the reputation of the casino.

Why wouldn't it?

It happened many times before. Just because a casino has 1000 positive ratings don't mean the 1001st will be a negative rating.

That's how gambling works too. Just because you won the earlier 10 games don't mean you'll win the next.
1622  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sources of gambling news on: August 11, 2022, 05:09:28 AM
I was wondering if there are reliable sources of gambling news.
For example, we have sites for political news, fashion news, sports news, weather news, and so on but I never come across sites where there is gambling-related news.
Will appreciate it if anyone shares the gambling new sources as it will be additional beneficial for the gambling community.

Since people gamble on the outcome of the political events and sports, Sport & Political news = Gambling news.

Maybe you mean gambling regulations, laws and stuff like that? These are different in every country so it would be hard to track them all.

Distrusting someone simply because they distrust you is childish for sure as well as somewhat naive, but I don't see it as being that malicious. Some people are naturally distrusting of others, so doesn't take much (JG is a great example of this). Trusting someone predominantly because they trust you in return is the sort of trust farming that can easily become abuse of the system as doesn't show good judgement at all.

Trust system is all about trust farming lol.

It is probably not going to work now because I am writing this post but test it 1-2 months later.

Distrust everybody in your trust list. Most of them will distrust you back without asking why you did what you did.
1624  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Myths that we often hear on: August 09, 2022, 06:52:29 PM
Most of these are true but gambling addiction is indeed very hard to cure. Almost impossible. That’s because most gamblers don’t admit that they are sick in the first place. They simply don’t want to be cured because they think they are perfectly fine. To them, gambling is the only way to live the life.

You can’t really cure a person that don’t want to be cured.

The moment they get some money, they’ll gamble it all again.

I don't even remember the last time I read his shit. Reading wall of texts is something I can endure when the subject is interesting but I can't stand reading wall of word salads.

I made up my mind about him long time ago.

He is full of shit.

I also remember somehow, trolling is against the "unofficial" forum rules. You may get away with it when you do it lightly on some relatively "unimportant" matters though.
1626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think New Casino Should Partnered With Bounty Managers To Gain Trust? on: August 09, 2022, 06:07:39 AM
We have no record of bounty managers admitting they are part owner of one casino, and I don't think they will disclose it, it's a conflict of, interest who will hire a bounty manager that is a part owner or owner of their competitor, they are good as an independent bounty manager than being part of the team and if they are part of the team they are not going to disclose it to protect their hard-earned reputation here.

How is advertising your own casino promote conflict of interests? Isn't the goal of bounty campaigns to make your brand well known? If the owner is good at marketing then he/she should take the position for the betterment of their company. It's also faster to answer questions since you got the answer to every question they have for the campaign that you're running.

Aren't we thinking too much here?

Let's suppose you own a company and you hire a trusted marketing manager who increases your sales by the extra mile. Will you be happy giving him good pay or will you make him a partner in your company and he can claim profits of the company? I think no company wants that employees started to become the owner of the company.

I hope this example makes it clear that managers aren't the owners of the casinos.  Smiley

I want to agree but the manager can't stay innocent if the casino was a scammer.

People who manage, promote, shill for the scams is as guilty as the scammers.

The only exception here is, if the casino wasn't exposed as a scammer earlier and the manager didn't know about it. Then you can't blame the manager because he very well might be a victim as well. But you also can't know if the manager was a part of the scam.

It is a very difficult situation.

I don't think Microsoft is amateur enough to hire coders without making that clear. If the employee don't want to share his work with MS, then he'll get the boot.

So it should have been commonly expected?

Definitely. The coder is under no obligation to share the source code unless it was clearly pointed out in the contract.

Would he not have had to make/have the source code to produce whatever product he gave him? What would be his reasoning for not providing the source code?

Providing the source code to the employer needs to be discussed separately before the job begins. The freelancer may indeed provide it if he wants to. If he doesn't then you can't force him to do so. The employer is free to find another coder.

If the contract between the two parties says the employee will provide the source one the work is finished, then he should do that. If there isn't anything about that in the contract, then well... the employer should have asked about it.

You want a product, you get the product.

Every time when you buy something from Microsoft or Apple... do they give you the app's source code for free? I don't think so.

Idk man..
He was hiring him to make a program, not buying an off the shelf program..

What would be his reasoning for not providing the source code?
Would it be more work?

I can’t imagine apple or Microsoft hiring someone to create a program and not expecting to receiver the source code..

Like I said, It should have been discussed beforehand.

I don't think Microsoft is amateur enough to hire coders without making that clear. If the employee don't want to share his work with MS, then he'll get the boot.

If you can’t code your own online casino, you shouldn’t be running one imo. That’s all I understand from this case or anything similar happened before.

Take a look at freebitco.in. It is 2-men operation and has been working flawlessly for years (5+)

Running an online casino without knowing how to code is like running a restaurant without knowing how to cook.

It may seem to go fine for a while but sooner or later that damn day will arrive and you’ll have to cook yourself.

Jolly, Royse, Pammy why don’t you all kiss each other and be friends? Sad
1631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling winning tax in the USA on: August 07, 2022, 12:30:47 PM
Gambling taxes is really but I’m not about the exact rate because it’s always subjective. Lottery just don’t include the word tax free to make the jackpot prize huge but  this is the reality on the US. The winner still got the huge part and he will still pay that tax if the lottery company give the whole prize because IRS will surely questioned the sudden increase of that person money.  Cheesy



There is nothing subjective about tax rates. There is probably a bracket of tax rates depending on your income in the US. It seems to me you just don’t know them.

It is not surprising to lose most of your gambling profits especially when the amount is as high as a billion goddamn dollars. That’s treated as income and taxed like how they tax income.

Since they tax the rich more and the poor less and a person that has a billion mother fucking dollars income is definitely rich, of course they will tax the shit out of him.

Being rich aint easy.

You have serious ego problems if you think you are important just because the admin talked to you or somehow did you a small favor. (Like changing your username, unbanning/unlocking your account)

It is a regular thing here. If I remember this right, Not so long ago (like a million years ago) there was an issue about lauda and theymos pm’ed everybody and asked us to distrust her. Most people sided with lauda against theymos’s dumb call. LoL. Nobody had a ban because of this.
1633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Online Gambling Streamers Ever Get Addicted to Gambling? on: August 07, 2022, 07:47:52 AM
Like davis196 said, they don’t get addicted to gambling. They are professionals. Pros don’t lose control. They don’t get addicted. In every step they take, they exactly know what they are doing because that’s the definition of being a professional. That’s how they make their money.

It is them general public get addicted and lose their life savings because they have no control and they are stupid. They are the “amateurs”.

Red tags are not even an important issue now. Flags are where the shit is at. Many DT1 trusted members got 1-2 red tags nowadays just because they stole someone’s sweetroll. You just don’t steal other people’s sweetroll. It is a crime against Skyrim and its people.

Trying establish a business in this forum is risky af too. Lots of stuff can go very wrong very quickly. People messed up a simple mediator/escrow business before.

If you are going to something like this, do it on a smurf account but then most people won’t trust you because nobody in the right mind would trust a newbie with no history.

Conclusion: Doing business here is not worth it.
1635  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: September is already here on: August 06, 2022, 08:37:55 AM
So it seems September is the last month we will be able to mine Ethereum, what's next to do with our mining rigs? I believe Eth is the most profitable and Ethereum Classic is just trying to catch on, what do you believe in this stage? Can ETC be just as profitable as ETH.

ETC is an abandoned chain. It will never be as profitable as ETH. Sure, somebody somewhere is doing something on ETC but ETH has Vİtalik. ETC don't. So, nobody really cares about ETC. I think mining with GPU's will soon die because there isn't really a replacement for ETH. You'll have to mine shitcoins like ETC but for how long? It will be slow long death for the GPU miners. It is smart to leave the scene while you still can. You don't wanna hold them heavy GPU bags.

What shit you are writing. ETC and abandoned chain? XD You are my hero. ETC is the original Blockchain from ETH - ETH forked away in 2016. ETC has max cap, block reward reduction every year, but has implemented all updates like ETH. ETC is in the Top 20 back again.

ETC forked to the ETChash algo to get more hashrate into the network after the hacks in 2020 - the ETC community want ASIC´s in the network to secure it!!!!! Is really nobody understanding how important ETC is and what is possible? ETC is the 3. biggest network after BTC and ETH

ETH has Vitalik.

ETC got who? Nobody.

Nobody uses etc. Nobody cares about it, other than the miners. ETC don't have any breakthrough fintech projects on it. ETH got all these thanks to Vitalik's brilliance.

We have seen it with bitcoin's bcash hard fork, we've seen it with eth/etc. A chain where only the miners like won't survive for long. Users decide the winner, not miners.

1636  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is the Coinbase wallet safe? on: August 06, 2022, 08:33:36 AM
I've been allocating some savings to BTC. I keep seeing exchanges fall, and not your keys not your coin. I've been using the Coinbase wallet app. Is that safe?

If it is not a cold wallet which you own the wallet's private keys, then it will never be "safe". Coinbase wallet app is an "app". It is connected to the internet. App's can get hacked. Operating system's can get hacked. Plug-in's can get hacked. The only way to stay safe is creating your wallet when you are offline, preferably on a fresh formatted  linux OS computer which don't have a wi-fi adapter on it and then writing your keys down on a piece of paper.

If Coinbase goes down am I out?

That's how it works with the exchanges. They go down, you go down.

I need to look into a cold wallet but for right now am I good?

Nobody knows what kind of crap you'll wake up to tomorrow.

What are your thoughts on this moved?

A sad day for the bitcoin community. I wonder what made him do this. I mean he very well knows that bitcoin is going to make a new ATH in the future, so why step down now? $1b loss is a pocket change for a hedge fund as big as his. And did he close his position? Because if he didn't then he didn't lose anything. 1 btc = 1 btc. A hardcore bitcoin veteran like him should know this.

I can't make sense out of this. Was he... paper hands? Was he full of shit? Maybe he didn't believe in our cause at all. That would be the saddest shit I ve ever heard.

1639  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Government Owned Online Casinos What Do You Think Of Its Potential on: August 04, 2022, 06:51:38 AM
The Covid is still here and we are still in a pandemic, I have a topic where Macau is struggling to keep their casinos open despite the spike in their country

Macau's Casino Operation Continues Despite The Latest Outbreak

What do you think if these countries or cities that totally depends on their casino for their revenue to keep the economy floating launch their own online casinos, there are already online casinos based in Macau or a country where land casinos are government-owned but it's privately funded what I mean is government-owned.

Will they get enough support, will they get a huge slice of the market that is ruled by companies, they have the funds and they have the reputation because they are government who are more established and will be more compliant

Their rates will suck against the private casinos but they will probably be safer as well. That's usually how it works with the government owned anything. It is a price you pay for extra safety.

No decent country will do the same thing directly but then they don't really have to. Since the governments tax private businesses, it means they own a portion of every company out there.

I don't think Macau is a decent country so I think they are free to do it.  Cool
1640  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rise of Streamers in Online Gambling on: August 04, 2022, 06:43:46 AM
Most of the times these so called streamers are being paid by respective casinos to promote their casino.
It's their joint effort to show that the streamer is making massive profits while in reality most of us lose money.
It's a strategy being used by many companies and works out well. As a user we have to be aware and only gamble within our budget.
Yeah, streamers playing on casino accounts and might have a fixed game to show users watching the stream know what happened when they win, the thrill behind it. Full of manipulate so I have a very bad view of any casino being advertised by streamers.
I don't even think so. It's not that streamers promoting the casino will always be a bad thing but yeah seeing how easy those scammers got max win will make people feel curious about what if they will get that max win. Maxwin was not an easy thing to be achieved and it's pure depend on our luck. I think that in this case it's not casino's fault. It's people's choice whether they wanna try that or not.

There is a thing called "streamer luck"

I used to play a hack&slash game where you hunt for items. A regular user can try to farm a certain item for 1000 hours and get nothing but then you'll see a streamer getting 2 or more in 100 hours. Then people found out that the game devs and certain streamers were in an agreement and cheating. It means the devs raised the drop rates of the streamer accounts.

The same thing may happen with the casinos. You'll never know.

Most highest rollers / winners boards you'll see on online casinos are fake too. It is a marketing trick. Lying works.
