True. But you know, BC.Game deserves some credit for trying to make things right and improve their image and  it's a start down the proper path, at least.  When a company owns their screwups and takes steps to fix them, that shows they are serious about rebuilding trust and keeping customers happy.

But talk is cheap.  We'll have to see if BC.Game can keep up and deliver on promises to clean up their act.  If so users might start trusting them more and they'll shape up a decent reputation.

For now, I think you've got the right to play it safe and only bet small amounts.

Hahahaha! Honestly, I get what you're saying.  It does seem like a lot of influencers care more about getting paid and building their popularity than if what they're promoting is worthwhile.  They'll plug just about anything as long as the moneys good, not worrying if it's really a quality product. 

That fake streamer situation makes me shake my head.  Dude was so obviously putting on an act, not genuinely gambling his cash and  it's shady.  Makes you wonder if he actually thinks that gambling site is legit or if he's just doing it for the check they cut him.  Hard to take his recommendation seriously when it seems so phony.   

I dont know maybe I'm being too cynical.  Perhaps some influencers really do use their clout responsibly.  But it definitely pays to be skeptical about endorsements, thinking about what's really motivating them.  More often than not, it comes down to money and chasing more followers.

A fair point - when choosing an online casino, safety and trustworthiness should be top priorities.  No one wants to put their hard-earned cash at risk on a sketchy site that could potentially scam.  I've noticed several forum members here recommending casinos that seem to meet high standards in those areas and  probably the best approach is to poke around the forums yourself, check out multiple suggestions, and do your own digging before deciding where to create an account.  There are likely some solid options discussed here but personal research is always the best.

I'd recommend reading through a thread or two here each day.  After you do, try summarizing what you learned and ask others if you got it right.  Going over things again and again like that can really help cement new concepts.

Here are a couple threads with good info for new members:

Your solution tries to streamline payments and eliminate transaction fees, but doesn't fully address double spending problem with digital money.  Sellers would also have to manually track every sale. This would be a complex and error-prone process, and it would be susceptible to fraud.  

There have been some cases and accusations against casino that have been piling up, but as far as I can see, most of them have been successfully resolved now. Although, I wouldn't really say that their reputation was completely destroyed since bc.game is an old and somewhat reputable casino.

Here you can see more info:

There are many casinos that fit your criteria, but we can't do all the legwork for you. You gotta dig into it yourself!  Look around at this board, read what others say compare stuff that matters to you.  Find one that clicks with what you want.  We ain't gonna hand-feed you everything.  

But, if you got a particular question rattling around or need thoughts on something specific, feel free to ask.  just don’t expect us to do everything start to finish.

Well, creating innovative and unique casino games that stand out from the pack is no easy feat, but for the right entrepreneur with a creative spark and some technical know-how, the opportunity exists to carve out a distinctive niche.  The key lies in identifying an aspect of gaming that could be improved upon or an itch that current games fail to scratch. With an abundance of repetitive slot and poker variants already saturating the market casino patrons may welcome a breath of fresh air that adds an extra dimension to their gaming experience and  though initially catering to a smaller target audience, a casino offering uniquely contagious games could garner a cult following that subsequently grows by word-of-mouth.  Of course, flawless execution and fair odds would be mandatory to earn players' trust and loyalty in the long haul.

Yeah, no doubt the gambling industry has exploded lately.  More people placing more bets has led new casinos to open up shop, kinda like a gold rush.  All these flashy new online places trying to elbow their way in has sparked a full-on advertising war too.


He is probably referring to the fact that online casinos can function without Bitcoin, they work fine taking regular money or other cryptos.  But Bitcoin has for sure helped these gambling sites get more popular.  It's just so easy to use for gambling.  The privacy used to be a big plus too - that was important to gamblers.   But that advantage is fading now as Bitcoin becomes less private every day.

From what I've seen, the big casino companies have cash to spare, so they pay for slick websites and eye-catching banners when they run promotions.  Their stuff looks sharp and  the smaller fry don't have that kind of budget, so they either farm it out to cut-rate designers or buy some generic script that makes all the sites look carbon copies of each other. 

I figure the big outfits want to keep pulling in new players and get their names out there so they shell out for top-notch design to reel people in.  The little guys just want to keep things running as cheap as possible.  Can't say I blame them, but its plain to see they don't put much into aesthetics or standing apart from the crowd visually.

If we're talking about sports betting, I gotta say I'm not a huge fan of systems that target a specific number of wins.  That stuff makes me kinda nervous - feels too much like chasing losses. And that's a dark road I dont wanna go down and  lose one bet and suddenly you're throwing money around making reckless picks trying to win it back real quick.  Seen it happen and it ain't pretty. 

Nah, do it right and focus on value I say.  Find them bets where the odds outstrip the true odds by a good bit.  That's how you do this thing sustainable like.  Dont gotta win most your bets doing it that way neither.  You find enough value bets, you're golden in the long run.  That's my take anyway.  Slow n steady wins the race with sports betting. 

Seriously, dude! Are you messing with us? You scored an impressive 25 merits with your very first forum post, and now you're asking how to earn merits quickly? Do you need a step-by-step guide on how to breathe?
 

I don't agree at all that this place ain't welcoming to new folks.  Sure, maybe some threads toss ya in the deep end, but I ain't seen anybody here give newbies a hard time.  People have gone outta their way to help me out when I was just startin out.  The guides here are real good for beginners too.  And it's easy to just ask questions if you get stuck.  Lots of patient users here to lend a hand and  guess I just haven't seen this unfriendliness you complain about.  Far as I can tell, this is one of them nicer internet communities.  So why do you feel that there is something to improve?

I'm totally on the same page here.  This whole pandemic thing has really shaken up how we do our jobs.  A bunch of companies are letting people work hybrid now, which I think rocks for a lot of folks.  You get the perks of doing your thing at home in your PJs if you want, while still being able to hang out and chat in-person sometimes too.  For me that's the best of both worlds.  I love rolling out of bed at 8:58 for a 9 AM meeting once in awhile and  so having both options is clutch.

I'm all for giving banned accounts another shot.  Some folks probably get kicked off just cause they didn't fully get the rules of the place and  that doesn't make what they did okay, but Ive always thought outright banning someone for copying and pasting without citing sources once seems kinda harsh.  Maybe a warning or temporary ban would work better?

I also think giving people a second chance should come with a probation thing.  And we should look at everything they added to the forums, not just a post or two that stood out.

Perhaps he found a few coins in the gutter and decided to give them a good "scrubbing" to remove the patina of "dirty money". Haha!



OK, now that we know it was CM, it's blatantly obvious that you deliberately lied here. Not only was CM the most widely used mixing service at the time, but it clearly stated its minimum mixing requirement (the minimum chip size) of 0.001 BTC on the deposit page when you start a mix, not just in the FAQ section. And, there was never a "50 page policy" or confusing terms of use, but a simple FAQ with a few simple and clear Q&A, easily accessible from the front page. Their transparency was crystal clear, yet you chose to ignore it.

Google's clearly seeing dollar signs in those flashy cryptocurrency coin trusts everyone's yammering about lately.  Makes plenty of sense they've now opened up their big ad network to companies peddling trusts holding the hot digital assets.  After all, hypes simmering at a nice boil these days around cryptocurrency.  And where there's hype, there's eyeballs.  And where companies can grab eyeballs, hey there's profit to be scored for an outfit like Google brokering up those advertisements and 

Id bet Google's bean-counters envision tons of curious folks firing up the search engine to wrap their heads around how trusts built around cryptocurrency work.  More searches means more chances for Google to serve up relevant advertisements and take a slice of the action.  So for them it's a no-brainer move to let cryptocurrency outfits place ads and potentially drive up the company's bottom line.  Whether or not average Joes really understand cryptocurrency coin trusts even after clicking one of those flashy ads, well, Google still makes bank.  So theyre happy to ride this wave and rake in the dough.

But that's not how it works. Every spin is a new game, and you're just as likely to win or lose as you were on the last spin.  There is no math that says you have less chance after winning a huge multiplier if the outcome of the game is truly random.

The only real alternative for storing your bitcoins is your personal, non-custodial (preferably open source) wallet. Why are you even asking such a question? You should already have enough experience to know that.

But the question is, how do we know you're telling the truth if you can't even remember the name of the mixer? Maybe you also forgot their terms or didn't even read them before using the service? Try to remember which mixer it was.


That's not important. It could have been $70, or even $700; that's irrelevant.
What matters is the minimum amount specified in their terms
