agree with your view..  sometimes the "welcome" bonus is often used (HIT & RUN) and IMO is not very effective in increasing the interest of newcomers to stay on the site for a long time.  bonuses for players who are the most active or play the most types of games can be an effective way to stimulate old players to stay afloat or make outsiders glance to join in..
Hit & Run for the gambler? I don't think that will work every time they try the new gambling site because it depends on the luck itself. If you are lucky, then yes, you can withdraw that money by winning some gambling games. But if not, you need to deposit more money and play more round, but that will be back to your luck again. The bonuses will be good marketing to invite more people to come, but sometimes, if people see that the bonuses are not good enough to attract them, they will not visit that website.

It seems to me that a similar strategy Hit and Run will use professional bonus abusers. Indeed, for beginners, the first victory, as a rule, only kindles the taste of the game.
But even instant luck will not allow you to withdraw bonus money, they will have to win back for some time, that's how casino bonuses are arranged. Otherwise, there would be significantly more abusers.
I do not mind wagering bonuses for a long time, but I would prefer that these bonuses be the more the longer I play, and not vice versa.

The owners of online casinos calculate everything so as not to lose their welcome bonus. They have statistics for how many games visitors lose the welcome bonus and start spending their money. Everything is set based on these statistics.

Therefore, it is better that online casinos do not give a welcome bonus, but give rewards for the number of games played, for the amount of time spent in games, and so on. This would help stimulate not only the arrival of new players, but also keep them for a long time.

I made the offer based on my own experience. In fact, I played in several online casinos, and one even gave me $ 100 to balance. I lost them and never went back.
Online casinos must have statistics on the behavior of various players. And they should see that attracting a new player is just as difficult as getting them to come next time.

We can only hope that the vaccine will pass the tests successfully. The world needs a coronavirus vaccine. And I really hope that we will get it in the autumn.
COVID-19 vaccine is still a hot topic to be discussed..  I am optimistic that the vaccine will be found, but for the time being, we all cannot be sure. before the vaccine is really found and spread, we must protect our families against this virus infection.  at this time the US is still the country with the worst COVID-19 patients. Hopefully, with the reopening of casinos in Las Vegas, it doesn't make things worse..

It is still risky for them to open the casinos. Unlike other countries, we all know how people gather in Vegas and how it can be so risky in these times. Cases are still adding up and even though they follow the new normal, they would go out and might be contaminated by the virus outside the casino. It is still better to bet or wage online.

I don't often play in casinos. I do it for fun. For me, playing in an online casino and being in a real casino room are completely different things. Online casinos don't have the same festive atmosphere. I've only been to local casinos, which don't even make sense to compare to Las Vegas casinos.
Anyone who likes emotions in Las Vegas is unlikely to be able to get the same emotions in an online casino.

We should not rule out the possibility that it is just a myth

However, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if casino employees could be discharged if something like that happened in real life. You wouldn't really expect someone to win jackpot three times without leaving the table, would you? So the dealer shouldn't have let the gambler go on playing after his second jackpot even if for the simple reason there was something wrong with the odds of whatever game was being played. When you think about it, it kinda makes sense to stop the game at once to look carefully into what might have gone wrong

In one of the casinos where I visited, a barmaid told me that they can fire a dealer just because of one suspicion that he is playing along with a client. And if the fact of cheating is proved, then the employee will also face criminal prosecution

I don't really think it makes up a criminal offence

More likely, the casino could demand financial compensation according to civil law, and the dealer could do essentially the same if he thinks their claims are unfounded and unjustified. In other words, it is a dispute between two parties to be resolved in a civil court, and there is no crime which would entail criminal investigation, proceedings, etc, and inflict punishment on the dealer according to criminal law if proven guilty

Of course, the casino will recover its losses in the course of civil proceedings.

Fraud is the deception of those who trusted you in order to extract benefits.
If it is established that the player and the dealer colluded. Wouldn't that be considered fraud?

Sometimes providing too many bonuses especially for new players aren't that effective. Some players are abusing the system as they are creating too many accounts though it could still be avoided by implementing IP restrictions for one account. I think gambling sites should focus on developing their games in such a case that players will not be bored in long term playing because welcome bonuses are only good at the start and if the gambling site doesn't really care for long term, these players will switch to another site.

Therefore, it is better that online casinos do not give a welcome bonus, but give rewards for the number of games played, for the amount of time spent in games, and so on. This would help stimulate not only the arrival of new players, but also keep them for a long time.

По-моему проще записать на запароленную флешку и выучить наизусть 12 слов, взять за правило хотя бы раз в неделю мысленно вспоминать слова, а флешкой пользоваться в самых крайних случаях, когда амнезия нагрянула Smiley Это для холд кошелька. А для сум попроще достаточно записать куда-нибудь под рукой и запомнить и заменить только одно слово в конце или начале.

Выше я приводил ссылку где велось обсуждение по хранению сид фраз. Там были сотни вариантов, параноидальные и не очень. Поэтому в вашем варианте нет ничего сильно замороченного. Я храню тоже на флешках, только несколько другим способом, не буду здесь его описывать повторно.

You can check forum like reddit to see how man people were kicked our from casinos for no reasons

I read another story. Don't know whether it is real or just an urban legend of sorts but it goes as follows. Some extremely lucky dude in a brick'n'mortar casino hit jackpot three times in a row. Since it was too late to kick him out anyway, the dealer has been disposed of instead for not doing something to stop that lucky bastard halfway

Take this account of events for what it's worth, though

I never thought that it is hard to work in a casino. If that is happening, that is just cruel. The job of the dealer is to manage a table, not to stop people from winning but I guess that is how the casinos work really. Reality is just a cruel place. I have a friend working in the casino in the past but he never said anything about this, maybe this depends on the casino?

Причины вывода венесуэльских сбережений в криптовалюту ясно, не понятно только одно: волатильность биткоина высокая, можно как заработать, так и крупно потерять. А учитывая бедственное положение жителей этой страны, ущерб может быть по их меркам существенный. Почему же тогда они не хранят свои сбережения в стейблкоинах? Или USDT, TrueUSD, USDC и прочие у них также блокируют? сомнительно..

В условиях когда денежная единица государства постоянно идет вниз по покупательской способности и никогда вверх, то гораздо менее рискованней купить Биткоин, который может пойти как вниз так и вверх по цене. Причем рост цены Биткоина лишь вопрос времени, да и поменять его можно напрямую на доллары, которые тоже стабильнее национальной валюты Венесуэлы. Поэтому народу сильно выбирать не приходится.

 The same thing also happens with online casinos as well when someone win bigger they will be accused for some kind of cheating and their funds will be on hold forever.

Is it not necessary to present evidence to accuse a player of cheating the online casino? After all, there is a presumption of innocence and until the guilt of a person is directly proven, he can not be considered a cheater. They can simply deny a person the opportunity to play, but they need strong evidence to block a player's money.

Most recently, in a neighboring topic, one person made claims to an online casino because the hash of the specified algorithm did not match when checking it. It turned out that the site owners made a typo and wrote SHA 512 instead of SHA 256. And this typo was not discovered earlier. This may indicate that not many people play in such casinos

You probably refer to stake.com

If so, I've seen this topic with a lot of stones flying in every direction. However, stake.com is not a decentralized, blockchain-based casino. It is a regular online casino, and as such, it doesn't use blockchain for making bets and storing their outcomes (so that they can be independently checked). If I'm not mistaken, VipGames.io is such a casino, which makes use of the EOS blockchain or whatever goes for blockchain there (I don't know much about how EOS works internally)

No. I didn't mention the stake.com. Here I give a link to the topic I was talking about. There was a completely different online casino. You can view the topic, where everything becomes clear after a few pages of discussions.

But what to do if the result of the match exceeded all expectations and the bookmaker suffered losses. However, the game was fair. In this case, the bookmaker can declare the match as a contract and refuse to pay the bets.

How can those who placed bets get their winnings?

That is an issue and tricky situation that can happen. I guess that bookmaker can make the decision according to his estimation, however if he wants to keep the business he should play fair. Unfortunately, frauds in sports are also very often and that makes situation even more difficult.

I know that every bookmaker has a reputation. And they value their users ' feedback. However, if they have the right to question the integrity of the matches they have played, they may well, if necessary, question the integrity of the matches that ended with great damage to the bookmaker.

Everything is possible in this country, even that which is very illogical and suspicious  Wink
But I don’t think that there was such a reason - bookmakers have the right at any time to declare any result “unplayed” and return bets to betters. This is done to protect them from such fraud.

The strange powers of the bookies. In this case, they may try to declare any suspicious match invalid. Especially if they suffered losses on it.
There should never have been a match like this.

If the bookmakers did not have such a right that protects them from dishonest matches, then all legal bookmakers would go bankrupt for a long time. There is a lot of situations where fraud (in sports) is obvious, but it is unrealistic to prove collusion. These rules help bookmakers protect their business.

But what to do if the result of the match exceeded all expectations and the bookmaker suffered losses. However, the game was fair. In this case, the bookmaker can declare the match as a contract and refuse to pay the bets.

I like fortnite and it's a good game with good graphics. Since we're talking about bets, it's kinda hard to bet on which player who'll win in the game. Bettings on battle royale isn't effective, even the best player have the possibility to die at start if he don't have good loots. The chances of winning is very low since there are many players each game and it's not easy to be confident on someone you'll a bet on.

Yeah, it's true that eSports always hit in the gambling industry but not all.

The bookmaker doesn't care if a strong player wins or not. It is important for the bookmaker that the game is popular. The more popular the more bets will be placed. And given the difficult-to-predict nature of the winnings, it will be more difficult to place a bet on the winner.
1035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Physical Casinos Decoded : on: June 27, 2020, 10:29:10 PM

When it comes to multiple big wins on a consecutive manner or lets say hitting up continuously  then im not surprised if those casinos would kick you out since you would be definitely

the culprit for their business to be on the unprofitable side.Making out alibis or reason for you to be cheating so that you wont able to play further but in most cases its already too late or the damage
had been done already.

There are lots of situations of this kind.

And isn't there a clause in the rules of most casinos that they can refuse to serve a visitor without explaining the reasons? I think on the basis of this, they can't allow to play people who often win, but their cheating is not proven.
1036  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never Before Experience On Gambling...!!!! Stay Safe. on: June 27, 2020, 10:05:20 PM
This will be a big problem because in gambling a person cant force himself to bet if they do not want to go bankrupt and fall into poverty. There are many cases of someone who used to be rich but fell poor because of gambling.

I drew attention to the discussions in this section. The problem with most players is that they can't stop playing in time. Even if they have set the amount for the game in advance, they can't stop in time and will try to win back.
1037  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Physical Casinos Decoded : on: June 27, 2020, 02:27:24 PM
How many times do we need to learn the result of failure before we accept the fact that gambling is really made for fun and not for profit?

Not everyone can understand this. Many people think that they will be lucky and they will become very rich thanks to the casino. People don't even try to calculate their chances of winning.

Hey, I agree with that. It is hard to realize the fact and accept the failure that we made before because if we regret and sad, we might think about how we can get the money back. We do not calculate the chances of winning if we play more, and we might be blind to realize that we need to take a break for a while. Many people already experienced that, and they still trying to get that lesson. In the end, when we can realize that gambling is not for making money, but for having fun, we can enjoy the game without thinking about making money from gambling.

This is the right approach to gambling. It is worth considering them only as entertainment that makes your nerves tickle. The more people think the same way we do, the better it will be for people's health. However, in this case, the casino will be much less popular and their earnings will fall.
1038  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never Before Experience On Gambling...!!!! Stay Safe. on: June 27, 2020, 11:44:47 AM


There are two kind of people gambling here,one is having enough money or not they just gamble for a while to get fun on the other side there are people who is looking to become rich in quick way keep betting.

Even those who play for fun have high hopes of winning. It's just that they came first of all for good emotions and if they don't win anything then nothing terrible will happen.
Those who initially came to earn - they are at least very upset that they lost and want to win back their money. And by doing so, they lose more and more.

this is freakin true . i often hear this words on big wagerers on the site where i play  .  

why is that big players can control their selves more than us small time players  , because they are already rich and not worried if they cant bring home money to thier self or thier family  ?  im a small time player but my only goal is to earn a profit and yeah i cant help but to rage when i loose , when i rage i bet more and if i loose , ill depo more   .  how i wish i can control my temper sooner or later  

Rich players also have a problem. For an ordinary person to worry about their bet it is enough to put a small amount of money. Big players to experience the excitement of making big bets in a gambling game. On the Internet, you can find many stories of millions losing poker games in one night.
If a person does not have the ability to control himself, then he can lose all his money, no matter how much he has. This is a little more difficult for a rich person to do.

As far as I know the Russian military. They don't waste words. If they say that they can start mass production of the vaccine in a short time - they will do it. The main thing is that the vaccine was successfully tested on volunteers.
Let's hope it can be true. It is not only the Russian military who don't waste words, but all military around the world also do it as they know how to keep promises. But yes, the focus on whether the research can be successful or not on the volunteers. It will be nothing to expect soon once the research failed. Of course, there should be other research but must take a longer time. 

We can only hope that the vaccine will pass the tests successfully. The world needs a coronavirus vaccine. And I really hope that we will get it in the autumn.
Medical experts that it will be ready by 2021, as testing is non stop in countries like US, China and UK. And that is a good sign, there are experimental drugs for Covid-19 already, but then again, it is just experimental for now so we don't know and of course before they can mass produce it, the WHO will have to approved it first. Let's stay positive that a vaccine will be developed to contained this infection.

I wrote a little earlier that the vaccine is already being tested on people in Russia. Therefore, the vaccine is likely to appear there in early autumn. We will follow the news and hope that this is how it will happen.

I know it won't make things worse. Look. Protests across the United States did not significantly affect the number of infected people. But there in the crowd, no one checks people's temperature or looks at the symptoms of the disease.
