I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that websites that are approved by AdSense to place ads get paid a certain amount even if the ads are not clicked but if they are clicked, they get paid extra, or maybe they don't get paid if the ads are not interacted with at all. But about YouTube ads, I believe account holders get paid based on how many hours of ads have been watched so even if the ads are skipped, there are ads that cannot be skipped and you get paid for those if you are a content creator of YouTube.

Though it looks like people don't click ads at all, that's not entirely true. If this was true, this business model would never be this much successful. The thing is, every person who is interested in something will interact with an ad that shows up related to their interest.

I've heard this a lot but I don't understand how gambling can be a cure for depression, I know that there are games that you can play which are multiplayer where you can make friends, chat with others while playing and do a lot of other things to cheer yourself up and this kind of games can help you get out of depression or a similar situation, but I don't see how spending money on gambling can be a solution at all.

And it's true that a lot of people try to use gambling as a way to pay their debts and what mostly happens when they fail is they keep taking loans from other places only to pay the previous loans when they are about to default and that gets them stuck in this even more.

I don't see why this would be a fake move, and even if they don't like cryptocurrency but still accepting or allowing it because they want to stay ahead of their rivals, this is still a good thing for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general because China is one of the most powerful countries. They might have taken the step to beat the US in the crypto movement as you said since they are not really on good terms with the USA right now.

Hong Kong has been crypto-friendly for some time now, and a lot of people are benefitting from it, if China tries, it can surely become a bigger hub for crypto than Hong Kong considering it has a way higher population than Hong Kong.

I'm not sure what you are talking about, Bitcoin transaction fees are not as high as you are saying at the moment, you will barely have to pay $3 or something for the priority transaction if you are using the lightning network and for the lowest fees it is just a few cents per transaction. We know that the network gets congested sometimes but that is not the case right now.

The scalability issue will surely be solved if it's seen to be too much of an issue in the future but for now, the network does pretty well in normal times, it is only a few occasions when transaction fees go very high just like what happened recently.

I think it's quite important to realize that online world and anonymity does this to people, and we are going to face this with or without crypto. I remember very very clearly about 10 years ago when crypto wasn't big at all, there were tons of people trying to do this as well, they used fake debit cards or paypal or whatever as instead of crypto, this just gave another layer basically.

It is casinos job to overcome all of this because it will not end, sometimes it will be more public and more loud, sometimes it will be less and quiet as well, but it will never be zero, there will always be these type of people who try to get rich quick by going around the rules and when they get caught they are going to make a big scene like they were in the right.

I've done it so many times but the problem is that the people that I invite is not interested on it but I am not disappointed. I am glad actually that I've been surrounded by good people who don't have a bad habit such as gambling. There is nothing wrong about your preference @OP if you like to bring gamblers more than the investors. Both activities have risks anyway and I am sure people are not dumb enough to not know it.

It still up to us if we will educate them further but id say it is a must so that they will have a confidence and they won't feel bad about their selves or to you. Since you are already there referring people to gamble, why won't you just use your own referral link on the gambling site you play? It should earn you great profits in case they became really active.

There is basically no evidence of who and why this happened to Dr. John apart from the fact that his mobile and laptop were used and left in the car and if they were only after the money they would probably take the wallet, mobile, and laptop with them but they left these things behind, so might have accessed his wallets or other applications and taken the money away, but I doubt if they could really get their hands on them unless they first tortured him and made him open his accounts containing cryptocurrencies and money.

This is too unfortunate and people should obviously not disclose their wealth whether it's in crypto or fiat, a millionaire should never roam around like that knowing people know that he has a lot of money.

It is a part of their business model, they can't just sit calmly once they've got a certain amount of gamblers on their platform, they will surely strive to have more. Who doesn't like their business to grow even more even if it has grown pretty big already? If you are a business owner, your business is doing pretty well, will you stop wanting to make it earn more revenue for you? You wouldn't, and the same goes for casinos.

Take Stake.com as an example, they probably have millions of gamblers already registered with them, but they still strive to reach more and more people through advertisements, promotions, partnerships, and much more, because they want their casino to earn more revenue.

The chances of turning small amounts into big ones using meme coins aren't for everyone and it is not possible for every investor to become a millionaire with just a single investment, it is all about luck just like gambling. If you invest small amounts in hundreds of meme coins, maybe one of them will be able to gain enough community hype and gain significant value, otherwise, your money is gone for good.

You can't compare Bitcoin or other popular cryptocurrencies with meme coins which are basically useless tokens that depend on community hype to gain any value and without it, they will die off very soon and those who invest in them will all lose their money.

I never knew that Switzerland was so friendly regarding cryptocurrencies, if there are not any regulations or anything like that, I think the adoption rate will increase pretty quickly this way. Such things should be done in tourist places where tourists from all over the world come to visit those places and when they see Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies being accepted everywhere, a lot of people will surely be interested in them.

A city like Tokyo or New York City should have such things and then we will see the adoption booming for sure because these are the most busiest and crowdy cities in the world and there are always a lot of foreign people in there so it surely will be useful.

Yeah, this was still a great time killer. It reminds us of the good old simpler times when we are still using a Nokia phone and a Gameboy. The earning part is only just an addition here. There were so many play-to-earn games invented already but most of them pays in foreign cryptos or digital currencies (non crypto). We never know the faith of those coins so it's kind a worrisome if our goal is to play to earn.

We can hardly focus in the game and it affects our performances. Being paid in Bitcoin currency is still different because it can give us a confidence. We can continue stacking our small earnings and sell them when the bull run comes for a boost.

Yeah you're right, you are not just late but extremely late because the thread was posted in January the current year and we are now in June. That was 5 months ago. Are you away in the forum last time to not spot them?

But, anyway that's still great that you congratulate them. About the advertisement, that's pretty interesting if you see them more often lately. That shows that they are still very active to run a constant promotion although not here in the forum but your suggestion is nice about running a signature campaign here. They can also do a bounty campaign if they want to. Bounty has more coverage than the sig campaign. That should help them gain more exposure.

A guy once shared a story here in the forum that a person from his neighborhood won something big from gambling and it made him think that he is now going to just earn money from gambling because he won for almost three consecutive days and he thought he can do it every day, so he started living a luxurious life, even left his job only to become a full-time gambler.

Soon after, he lost everything that he had left after enjoying his life for some time and then came back to earth from his flight to the skies with happiness and he had to start asking for money from others only so that he can eat food. That is what happens when you consider gambling a source of income.

Well, who doesn't want an illness to get cured without having to seek medical care? It is what we want all the time but when we see that our condition isn't getting better and we now need medical attention for sure, that is when we approach a professional medical specialist to treat or cure our illness because we are unable to get out of it ourselves.

The same is the thing about gambling addicts who have gone too deep into it that they cannot come out themselves since they've usually lost control of their minds, and that is the reason why they might need to go through such things only to get out of their addiction because it is causing them issues.

No they are not. They are only created by the humans so therefore humans are still the ones who are smarter than them but no matter how smart the human is, this is still not enough to beat the gambling house. Many have tried and yet they all fail. How much more the AI. Do you think they can do something? No, I don't really think so but they can only get lucky just like we humans do and win the bet.

It might give a false impression to someone else that they are working. Worse is they can bet big amounts above their capacity and then lose the bet this time. I just hope it won't lead to that. That is one of the disasters that an AI can cause to a human.

I think there are street gambling which are regulated. They are more fair and safe to play. There are usually located at the crowded areas or in downtown but local street gambling or the ones that can only be found on our backyard are the ones who are not regulated and they are kinda illegal so we must only play on them at our own risk.

Both types have their own set or rule or the rule can also depend on the game but I wouldn't say that a gambler can do anything that they like. There are some people who enjoy street gambling no matter whether it is regulated or not but some only play on the regulated ones. When they are confident, they have nothing to worry so their enjoyment is at its fullest.

I think it was the Web2 casinos are the ones who usually has a License but Web3's are like a Decentralized gambling site so License are sometimes unlikely here. I heard there are fake Web3's casinos out there but maybe they have a license too. That's fine I guess because having a License would mean that they are not a scam because if they are, they can't obtain a License at the first place and then they will be traced easily as I think it requires the team to be doxxed before they get their very own License.

Both Centralized and Decentralized casino has their own Pros and Cons. Some of us still prefers the Decentralized one because they stick on the vision of the original Cryptos which is to promote Decentralization.

This must be a small amount but not totally because there is no thrill on it anymore. Sometimes when we already done this practice, we can't feel to be uncontended so we are going to deposit again. This is why I am practicing to separate my entire funds from my online wallets so that I won't be forced to re-deposit again.

Being an addict in gambling is surely damaging our mental health which can also affect us physically because we can hardly eat and sleep when we are addicted on one thing. Worse can happen is we can threaten other people only to get more money which can support our bad habits. Gambling is very manipulative so one should be fully prepared before they engage on it.

I don't know if it's just me but the closer we get the higher chance I feel like City will win. I know that they have been good already, so it shouldn't really be getting a higher rate, but for some reason I just think they will do better every single day. All in all I believe that the best thing to do would be betting on City moneyline for this game and maybe up the ante a bit if you want a bigger return.

There is basically no doubt in my mind left that City will win. At first after the real game, I saw them play amazingly and felt more careful, like "yes they are good but anything could happen!" but the closer we get the more I started to feel like it's guaranteed that they will win. They won't miss this chance, it's not going to be this easy probably ever again.

A right-minded gambler should understand when they need to stop when they are gambling, whether they have got a big win or have lost a lot of money already as in both scenarios, they would know it's better if they stop right there because if they play after winning, they might lose everything they've won, and if they gamble more after losing a lot, they will end up losing everything.

Gambling is obviously not only about winning and that is simply because gambling is a game of luck and if your luck doesn't work in your favor, you are guaranteed to lose and you can win only when you are lucky.
