Gamblers like us help scam casino sites.  Because when we carelessly start depositing without reading the rules of a casino site and lose those funds, we get excited and start calling the casino site a scam. So totally our fault and we are responsible for it. 

I'm not certain about this. Even if we carefully read the terms and conditions, it may not make much of a difference if the casino is indeed a scam, as you suggest. After all, a scam casino's main objective is to deceive players, and they will do so even if their rules say otherwise. The 1xbit scam is a prime example of such a fraudulent casino that frequently scams its players. Unfortunately, even if we follow the rules, they may still accuse us of breaking them without providing any proof.

So before making a deposit at any casino site one should research the site thoroughly.  Of course one should always focus on trusted casinos. and if one fails to recharge any casino site well then he shouldn’t definitely focus on the new site.

Yes, it's always a good idea to research a casino site thoroughly. This includes looking at reviews from other players, not just reading their terms of use and rules.

To my knowledge the shortest time taken between one block to be mined and other is 2 minute whereas the longest is 40 minutes which I personally witnessed not speaking based on any stats or anything. So average time taken doesn't represent anything it's just the average value of combined mined blocks meanwhile if we take note on every block it will be completely random and you can't do anything about it.

Actually, that's not entirely right. It is possible for a Bitcoin block to be mined in as little as a few seconds or as long as several hours, however it is quite rare for blocks to take less than a minute or more than an hour to be mined.

The Bitcoin protocol is designed to adjust the difficulty of mining blocks approximately every two weeks, in order to maintain an average block time of 10 minutes. However, due to the random nature of the mining algorithm, there can be significant variation in the actual time it takes to mine a block.

Usually the best idea is to first check their KYC Terms of Service before even depositing that least amount a user should deposit in that site because whenever amount is being credit to the casino their story's changes, and even if you try submitting kyc they have no option to be toiling with your details rejecting it and giving you more excuse in the of trying to pass kyc.
So my advise and take on this matter is not to involved any funds first rather passing their kyc's before making deposit.

Terms of Service mean nothing. They're always written in a way that benefits the business rather then its customers and almost always you'll see a clause that those terms can be changed. In terms of KYC - terms of service would usually have some vague disclosure saying that KYC checks are or may be required but without stating any specific details. So you want get much from reading those.

I don't completely agree with this. While it's true that some terms may benefit the business more than the customer, it's not uncommon for terms of service to include important information about a company's policies and practices that can protect both parties in case of a dispute or misunderstanding. Besides, businesses are required to comply with laws and regulations, which means that some terms must be designed to protect both the business and its customers. Regarding KYC checks, while the terms of service may not provide specific details, they do inform customers that these checks may be required. This is important information to be aware of.

And that's not to mention that a lot of casinos are either unregulated or operate in exotic jurisdictions so you won't have any option to sue them even if they break their own terms.

I agree with your points, but it's worth noting that there are reputable casinos that are licensed and regulated by well-known authorities and have a strong track record of treating their customers fairly. Plus, even if the casino is based in some weird place and it's hard to take legal action against them, there are still alternative ways to seek a remedy, such as through industry watchdogs or using a third-party mediators. It's not like you're completely helpless if things go wrong.

It's always good to support new gambling sites in the crypto sector. However, as some have already mentioned, there are some concerning details that we need to consider before trusting this site blindly.

First of all, the domain is recently registered, which means that there is no previous reputation to go on. The anonymous owner also causes for concern.

Moreover, the unfinished website with no Terms of Use or Privacy Policy pages and no contact information is quite alarming. The chat being full of bots and the possibility of fake statistics only add to these worries.

Overall, I think it's wise to be cautious with this site until they can provide more transparency and assurance about their legitimacy.

  -  Does this mean that if for example I deposit 30$ in the live casino since their requirements are 5x wagering, the calculation is 30$x5=150$ I will accumulate first playing win or lose before I can withdraw from their casino?

Yeah, that's pretty much how it works. It can be a bit of a downer, but that's just how some online casinos work. They want to make sure that players are actually using the platform and not just depositing money and immediately cashing out.

Quote
It also means that before entering a casino that we are going to gamble with, we should first know how many x of wagering they need for withdrawal.

I agree. Just make sure to read the terms and conditions carefully before making any deposits, so you know what you're getting into. Some of these casinos can even be extra strict about which games you can play to meet the wagering requirements. For example, they don't count bets on games with low multipliers like 1.1x. I'm not 100% sure if this rule applies to just bonus offers or if it includes regular deposits too.

Yes, you are right on that point, it's just that sometimes even the license can be faked by the owner of a new casino here in the cryptocurrency business industry.

Yes, you are right on that point, I've seen some scams trying to do that. That's why it's important to check for licensing, read reviews, and verify the site is trusted and safe. But honestly, some people don't care about all that. They just want to gamble and don't care if it's fake or not. It's sad, but true.

That's why the others are okay with spending money even if it's fake so they're sure there are many foolish gamblers to enter large amounts of money to gamble on their platform, because this is what other gambling owners think here in the crypto space that cryptos are based on players in gambling games here.

I think the problem is that many people are attracted to the anonymity and lack of regulation in the crypto space, which makes it easier for shady operators to take advantage of them. I'm not sure if such people are foolish or just naive and uninformed... One thing's for sure, we need to be vigilant and stay informed about the casinos we're playing at. Don't let greed blind us and always be aware of the risks involved in gambling, especially in the volatile crypto space.

Already tried the online form 100s of times but is there any real help I can get from google without sending upfront payments to random scammers.

Google doesn't require any payment to recover an account, and any claims to the contrary are likely scams. While it's true that the Google support forum may not always provide a satisfactory solution, there are other options available such as contacting Google support directly or seeking help from a trusted IT professional. If Google support is unable to assist you, then it may be time to accept that your old account is lost for good. Honestly, storing your backup and login information on a third-party mail service was not a smart move in the first place. You should know better than to rely on external providers for something as important.

I think people are mostly afraid or panic about things they don't understand enough. It's like when a new toy comes out and everyone wants to be the first one to get it, without considering whether they actually need it or not. They get caught up in the hype and excitement without fully understanding the risks. And let's be honest, some people just love to overreact and create unnecessary drama, especially when it comes to money.
1149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you favor betting on spesific sport? on: May 03, 2023, 08:52:04 PM
I couldn't agree more! I once made the mistake of betting on a sport that I knew absolutely nothing about. I thought I was feeling lucky that day, so I decided to take a chance. Well, let's just say that luck wasn't on my side that day. I ended up losing a significant amount, and it was a tough lesson to learn.

That experience taught me to never bet on anything unless I knew what I was doing. It's not worth betting on a sport if you don't know the rules, strategies, and players involved. The same goes for making any kind of wager, if you don't know who or what you're betting on, then there's no way it can end well!

As long as that was a one-time thing then I do not really see anything wrong with that, after all we are talking about gambling here, a hobby in which we take risks just to have a good time.

Yes! I was lucky enough to learn my lesson after that one time. I totally get that gambling is meant to be fun, but it's definitely not a good idea to ignore the odds. After all, the whole point of gambling is to take a chance and hope that we come out on top in the end. But that doesn't mean we should throw caution to the wind and bet recklessly.

But I do agree that when it comes to sports betting it is better for you to do so in a sport you know very well, or that at least you like to watch, this way you can significantly increase the fun you get when watching the different matches, as now you are watching your favorite sport not only because you like it but now you have something at stake, increasing your fun manyfold.

You're totally right, my friend! There's no denying that sports betting can take the excitement of the game to a whole new level. But let's face it, nothing beats the thrill of watching your favorite team win AND cashing in on a winning bet at the same time!  😎

After reading many replies to my previous topic regarding wagering requirements for withdrawing a no-bonus deposit ~~
You should change the "no-bonus deposit" statement as it will create confusion here. You may use "for withdrawing normal/regular deposits" instead of it. Anyway, the list isn't completed yet. And you haven't updated it since last two weeks. I can help you to finalise the list if you want. Will you only add those casinos in the list which have at least 3× wagering requirement on normal deposits?
This is how most casinos and gamblers refer to a normal deposit without a bonus. This term is clearer than "regular deposit" in my opinion because it is rare to find a casino that doesn’t offer deposit bonuses. And beside that the term I used can be found in the T&C of most casinos while searching about how much wagering you need before requesting a withdrawal.

I agree with you on that one. If you've ever played at an online casino before, you know exactly what "no-deposit bonus" means. Using any other term would just create unnecessary confusion.

To update the list I would appreciate it if someone could share the casinos with a wagering requirement of 3x or more, and I will add it to the list. As many users have suggested, it is best to only include casinos that are discussed on Bitcointalk. I couldn’t find more than what’s in the list for now.

I remember you mentioned having a bad experience with a casino's wagering requirements. I'm totally with you on publicly calling out those kinds of platforms - it's just not fair to the players. I'll definitely take a look at any other platforms I've come across and give you the heads up if I find any more that fall into that sketchy category.

Hey OP, welcome to the forum! So, I checked out your casino and I gotta say, I was pretty surprised by the interface. You only support mobile platforms? What gives? No desktop version at all? I'm not totally convinced that's a smart move. Sure, lots of people are using smartphones and tablets these days, but there are still plenty of folks who prefer to game on their big ol' desktop or laptop screens. Seems like you might be cutting out a pretty big chunk of potential players by not having a desktop option. What do you think?

Hello Bitcointalk

sorry if I been so dummy but I was hearing words like Mining BTC can someone explain to to me with simple words ?

It's great that you're interested in Bitcoin mining, but general questions like this might not get the best responses in a forum. Bitcoin mining is a vast subject that can't be explained in just a few sentences. Other members have already give you some great resources to read, and you can also use the internet search to learn the basics. Once you get a grasp of the basics, you can ask more specific questions, and the experienced members of this forum will be more than happy to help you out. Don't hesitate to ask!

I searched and found many ways but they all seem so fishy to me so if someone can give me just a small hint here

Alright, this question is a bit better, but in order for us to give you a specific answer about the mining methods you came across, we need more information from you. What ways are you talking about? What is your source of information?

For those who haven't been following along: Curacao is in the process of passing legislation to become one of the first crypto regulators in gambling and have been explicit about the fact that in the mean time all casinos they regulate are permitted to use crypto.  I believe they're expecting the law to pass in the next month and be implemented by mid summer.

Where is the statement made by the Government of Curacao that all casinos they regulate are permitted to use crypto?

If the Government of Curacao really made this statement, then only the casinos they regulate are permitted to use crypto and as they do not regulate any casino that means no casino is allowed to use crypto!  Smiley

Perhaps, you should also ask if the government of Curacao has issued a statement prohibiting the use of crypto in all the casinos it regulates. Because, you know, just because it's not explicitly mentioned in the license doesn't mean it's not allowed, right?

You should know that laws do not work based on assumptions or opinions. However, I understand that you may not have much experience in the casino industry, so it might be worth your time to research and educate yourself before making unfounded statements on the forum. Have you ever had the opportunity to review a gambling operator's license in its entirety? It might be a good place to start to gain some insight and knowledge on the subject matter.
1154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Chat GTP destroy poker on-line gambling??? on: April 29, 2023, 09:32:07 PM
Any suspicious act of gamblers could be tracked by casinos so there's no way Chat GPT could destroy any casino games, especially poker. It's fine to rely on it sometimes in case we need help and guidance because of confusion but we should always use it as a tool to abuse the casino. The casino has the right and prerogative to ban or restrict abusive players anytime. It is better to enjoy the game using our own skills and strategy so we won't face the consequences in the future.
In the part of your comment I highlighted, I believe you meant to say that the chatbot shouldn't be used as a tool to abuse the casino..

Ha, ha, ha! Good catch!

You are right, the chatbot is a tool for learning and not a tool of abuse, I believe the developers who came up with this idea didn't do so with the intention that the program be used for abuse purposes, casinos have all the right to monitor and take appropriate actions on users who are caught abusing the casino through any means, not just with this Ai chatbot, this, I believe most of us already know.

However, I do think that there is a possibility that someone will eventually develop an AI specifically designed to beat casino games, which is a concern for the industry. As you mentioned, the development of AI technology is rapidly advancing, and there are already instances where AI has been used to beat human players in games like chess and Go.

^^ I agree with you on the token thing. I mean, there are already so many established casinos that accept different cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, which is widely used. And if a casino decides to create their own token, they're adding an extra cost to maintain it. Plus, it's tough to get it listed on exchanges without paying a lot of money. And with so many altcoins and casinos out there, it's easy for people to get confused and not know which one to use. I think it would be better if they just create a platform where people can play with the currency of their choice.

The only way for a dedicated token to make any sense is if the casino has a special feature that requires its own token. Like, for example, if a casino offers a 50% bonus on all deposits made with the token. Or maybe they offer lower house edge odds than other casinos do. But I mean, that would take some serious effort on their part.

A decentralized casino and a centralized casino without a license are basically operating the same way, without paying any taxes and running off the radar and that is the reason why usually see authorities hunting down some casinos that are unregistered and unregulated, so decentralized casinos are probably going to get targeted too.

You make a valid point. However, there is one key difference between decentralized and centralized casinos that should not be overlooked. Decentralized casinos operate on blockchain technology, which provides an added layer of security.

Therefore, the authorities will have a much harder time hunting them or shut them down. The operators of these casinos can easily move their servers to a new location and continue operations as usual. This is not something that traditional casinos can do.

I guess it will be more odd if you just bet even if you don’t know the whole thing about that sport, it’s like putting yourself at its losing end even if the betting has not yet started. That’s why most of us here would only want to bet on the games that we are also familiar of, on the game that we have certain favorites that are most likely to win and manipulate the game. You know, it’s useless to bet and put your money at risk when you don’t have any idea of the game you played, you are increasing your risk of losing, even though some games like this would still end up uncertainly.

I couldn't agree more! I once made the mistake of betting on a sport that I knew absolutely nothing about. I thought I was feeling lucky that day, so I decided to take a chance. Well, let's just say that luck wasn't on my side that day. I ended up losing a significant amount, and it was a tough lesson to learn.

That experience taught me to never bet on anything unless I knew what I was doing. It's not worth betting on a sport if you don't know the rules, strategies, and players involved.

I am intelligent and rich, you are a stupid signature spammer who makes nonsense posts for pennies!

I must admit, your intelligence and wealth are truly impressive. It must be nice to be able to look down on us mere mortals who have to resort to making a living through signature campaigns. I bow down to your superiority.

Did you ask your employer to show their license to operate a crypto currency online casino?

So according to your crazy theory, absolutely all crypto casinos are unlicensed and illegal? And, you consider yourself intelligent?

There is no fun of taking the bonus on the lowest amount. However, it is easy to complete the low wagering requirement.

To be exact, in order to release a 1000 satoshi bonus, you need to wager at least 50,000 satoshi. So, when you asy that a bonus has a "low wagering requirement," I would take that with a grain of salt.  Grin

It’s obvious you tell them to either put it on their credit note or they can trust you to follow you, so is it in this very situation, you are outside and the device you have for crypto-currency transactions is gone/broken there is no hope for you in such situations except there is a bitcoin ATM in proximity.
<...>

If he doesn't have access to his crypto wallet, a Bitcoin ATM would be of no help to him. However, if he used cash to buy bitcoin at the ATM, he could use it to pay the restaurant bill. But I find it hard to believe that a business would only accept cryptocurrencies and not fiat.

OP, there is another solution. You can simply text the payment information to someone who has access to their crypto wallet to do the transaction for you. You can pay him back later.
