I have seen a lot of posts in this section, of users complaining that one government or the other banned gambling, when they should have just regulated it. Never thought i'd see a thread complaining about the authorities making gambling legal and generating revenue from it. I thought that is something gamblers wanted.

Gambling is regulated in the state and the authorities are generating revenue from it, i don't see any reason to complain. People would always lose money to gambling, that is normal, just the same way people lose money in other activities as well.

Importing your wallet into another online device doesn't make you any safer. As long as the device is connected to the internet, then there is the risk that you can be hacked. A better advice is to move your funds into cold storage as soon as it is worth an amount you cannot afford to lose. A cold wallet with an added layer of secutity, such as a passphrase is a safer setup for your bitcoin.

Lol, what the hell are you talking about OG and who is Roy Kent.

I guess you do not need to tell us that you don't know anything about football (not soccer by the way), this post already passed that message clearly. Not like you'd care or understand, but Manchester City have been found guilty of inflating their revenue over a period of 9 years, effectively breaking the Premier League's rules, so now they face the possibility of heavy sanctions, should their appeal fail.

Are you sure about that, i like to believe it would depend on how hard they come down on these promoters and the kind of punishment meted out to them in the end. If at the end, they get fined a lot of money for example, which would make whatever amount they were paid irrelevant, then it could serve as a strong deterrent and make other promoters think twice before accepting offers from illegal casinos.

No, that is not it. AHOYBRAUSE explained it perfectly above, most casinos would allow you withdraw amounts that are lower than your deposit, without much hassle. Now, taking your winnings is where many of them draw the line and they start asking questions.
Uhm, that's not exactly what i said. I said the amount is too small for the casino to be going through extensive checks for over 48 hours. You'd expect withdrawals of smaller amounts such as this to be settled quicker.

The amount is quite small and the casino should have sorted this out quickly. It does not make any sense for them and their business, to see scam accusations for amounts as small as $86. It is funny just thinking about it, what kind of checks would require 2 days for an amount that is less than $100.

Degen has had quite a few scam accusations against them in the forum, and a few of them were resolved when an independent third party got involved, if i remember correctly. Maybe you can wait a few days before escalating to ADR, to see if that would get it sorted.

Bro, this stuff has been discussed about a million times already in this forum, both in this local board and in the general sections of the forum. TBH, there is really no need to start a new thread about basic stuff like this that everybody alread knows.
If you have a password that you can remember, then i am almost certain that it is a weak password. A strong password is a mix of upper case, lower case, special symbols, numbers and should be at least 12 characters in total, you are definitely going to have a hard time remembering that. What you should do is create unique and strong passwords across all your accounts and back them up.

I'm surprised that these individuals agreed to openly promote these illegal websites online, they ought to know what was coming for them for doing that. All 18 promoters have a combined followership of 3.6m, and that's small when you look at it in isolation, but when you compare it with the population of the country, which is around 9 million, then you get it that it's a large number.

These illegal platforms would have to find more cladestine means of advertising their services, because after this event, i am not sure they'd find promoters who are willing to take their money.

I am not even sure about that anymore. Even after their entire database was exposed and their customers have been bombarded with phishing attacks to this day, they went on to introduce the opt-in Ledger recovery service, but still business has been excellent for them and their sales didn't slow down.

Now who's to say people wouldn't buy Ledger after this, particularly when this attack wasn't directly their fault, but that of the vendor. I and a lot of other users in the community stopped recommending Ledger a long time ago, but that's just us, i guess a lot of other people feel differently about them.

And why is that, players can disagree with the decision reached by the casino or their providers. I know that at the end of the day, it is a custodial platform and the decision to release the funds ultimately fall on them, but if an independent mediator find them "guilty" and yet they fail to pay the player, it would reduce their ratings and ward other players off.
In case you missed it, just a few posts above, the OP has agreed to let an independent mediator settle the dispute.

Gambling is regulated in most jurisdictions, so you are not going to be able to find NO-KYC casinos, such platforms would be identified as illegal and even if there are a few of them, they'd be operating in the periphery. Like i have also said a couple of times already, the fact that a casino advertises itself as NO-KYC doesn make it true in all situations, many of them could still ask their customers for identity verification, which then defeats the purpose the person used them in the first place.

Anybody can create a bitcointalk account with any username (as long as it hasn't be taken), so this does not prove that you are whom you say you are. You say you worked with them for two years, surely you can share some redacted information to prove that, it could be as simple as just an email correspondence.

How do we know if any of this is true and if you were actually a former employee of Duelbits. Do you have anything to prove what you are saying here, or is it just your words, and if it is, i'm sorry nobody is going to take this seriously.

Let's say you were even a member of their staff, it is still within their rights to let you go if they think that's what's best for their business and that my friend does not warrant a scam accusation topic. As long as you were not owed salaries and they satisfied all that was promised in the event they no longer need your service, then you don't really have a case against them.

That's a fair request. The truth is before now i've never read your loan thread, but i just did and i think the terms are fair, based on the loan amounts involved. There would naturally be a lot of emotions when you are offering this micro-loan service to your countrymen, and that's the reason you're very lenient, it's only normal they respect the terms in return.

That said, it is your service and you make the rules. As a suggestion, you could post additional rules in your thread that if a borrower fails to repay their loan, and fails to communicate with you reasonable reasons as to why, then you may apply stronger measures to get them to pay.

That is not always the case. Let's say a casino doesn't have the local license to operate in France, but it is a registered casino with a valid license, E.G. a Curacao license. If that casino goes on to offer their service to gamblers in France, they would be regarded as an illegal casino and can face severe penalties. And my point is that the players who go ahead to use this offsore illegal/unlicensed casino could still face KYC verification in the event of a dispute, even though it could just be a means by which the casino tries to stall payments.

You are correct that they added automatic AML checks mid last month, but they disabled it a day later after they were called out by the bitcoin community. They tried to sugarcoat it as not being a KYC/AML process, but the community were having none of it, as it obviously was, leaving them with no choice but to disable it. Though i'm sure a lot of their customers would have already lost faith in them as a result.

I am not sure the problem is that too many people don't want to submit their personal info to these casinos. They just hate the timing it usually comes up, which is mostly when you win a big amount of money and you're trying to withdraw it. If many casinos asked for KYC upon registration, or randomly, and not just after a big win, i doubt that a lot of people would feel hard done by.

My answer to this is still similar to what i've already said to you. While there cannot be a perfect scoring/rating system, you cannot get anywhere near accurate based on a one-off review test or even a couple of it. I would only rate a casino based on multiple experiences from players over a long period of time, amongst these players would be big winners and small ones, that's how i would get a strong idea of how a casino treats their players and score it accordingly.
You can look around the community and find them yourself. Roobet has been here for a very long time. Whale, Stake, Rollbit and many others, there is no shortage of them here.

Let me clarify my position in this topic, what i'm talking about is not so much about the content or whatever the person puts out there, but how successful they are in it, in order to be able to pull a large followership and promote stuffs to them. It is very common to find people who say their job is "social media influencing", but they do not really have much to offer, in order to build followership, thus i advise that people be careful how they jump on the trend.

Are we talking crypto to crypto swaps or crypto on-ramp and off-ramp. If it is the former, then there are good/reputable NO-KYC instant exchanges in the forum. A few i've used lately is Dex.fo and Sageswap, do your own research before using any of these services. And remember that instant exchanges are custodial platforms, so it is in your best interest not to send a large amount in one go, do it in smaller chunks, even if the platform states they would never ask for KYC from you.
