1561  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🥇BEST CASINO IN 2023 - Community decide🥇 on: May 13, 2023, 04:46:20 PM
There are a lot of things that are needed to be considered when deciding which casino is actually the best, starting from the user interface and how user-friendly the platform is, how it treats its customers, what kind of games it offers (especially originals), whether it offers all kinds of gambling including sports betting, live betting, etc.

And on top of everything, whether it has a good reputation and trust among the community or not, and considering all these points, I would definitely go with Stake, it has got almost everything that I mentioned.
bottomline, we can determine if the casino is good considering the various features it is offering to its customers. not only in one aspect it is leading but the general features that a decent casino should have.
what i like about this poll is that they managed to interview some of the staffs of the casino and directly asked some good questions.
For you maybe but for the majority? They think a casino is great just because they like the bonus offered. For a few, they think it was great when they like the games offered. And the list goes on. No casino that have all the good features. That is almost impossible.

This is why we have so many casinos right now because some of them are unique. But, what is that poll you are talking about? I can't see it in the first page. Did the op remove it? but why? Though its great if they extend their question to the casinos staff because staffs knows something that a regular customer don't know. It will also be better if they can reach out the casino owner.
1562  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering requirements for withdraw on: May 13, 2023, 03:48:20 PM
When a site offers a deposit bonus, the site can demand wagering as they wish because they are offering the bonus to their customers.  If there is no wagering requirement then everyone will only deposit money and withdraw with bonus.  For example, if the site offers a 50% deposit bonus, if someone deposits $100, his balance will be $150. If there is no wagering requirement, then everyone will repeatedly deposit and withdraw that money with the bonus he he.
There is actually a difference between a wagering requirement for the deposit and a wagering requirement for the deposit bonus. A wagering requirement for the deposit itself shouldn't be higher than 2x maximum, while a wagering requirement for a bonus can be as high as the platform wants since it is not your money and is a bonus.

But when a casino starts asking for a wagering requirement of about 5x or more for the money that you've deposited, that is where the problem is, because even if you try to withdraw, you are not requesting to withdraw the provided bonus but only the money you've deposited yourself.
1563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Another side of Sports betting you may not know about on: May 13, 2023, 09:45:59 AM
I think most leagues do not care if their players make some sport bets on a sport different than the one they compete, however as soon as they make some bets on the same games or the same league then this can affect the confidence of the fans on the games, and without that trust then the whole thing comes crashing down, so in my opinion it makes sense that leagues around the world are at least very strict when it comes to any behavior which may incite any form of match fixing among their players.
I wonder how would team management know if a player has actually placed a bet on the match they are participating in since they can always do it anonymously, especially in such times when many cryptocurrency sports betting platforms let you place bets without any inquiries if the bet amount isn't too high and some even allow bigger bets since they don't ask for KYC.

And they would obviously not care if a player is generally gambling and placing bets on another sport or even on the same sport but on a different team, that shouldn't be a violation since they cannot have any influence on those matches.
1564  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Purebet.io - The first on-chain sports betting aggregator on: May 13, 2023, 07:49:56 AM

Thanks for the suggestion, I have edited the site to open "How it works" in the same tab.
Quick one, can I make withdrawal on any currency?

E.g if I make deposit in Bitcoin and. Places bet with bitcoin and want to withdrawing other cryptocurrency e.g USTD can I make that withdrawal automatically or I will have to use the inbuilt exchange to can't the bitcoin to ustd before withdrawal.
Impressive, on how he made quick changes according to the users feedback. I hope he continues this kind of attitude because some casinos here have become inactive later on. It's funny how they got bore easily but maybe they already get their true intention and that is to scam the gamblers.

Moving on, about the withdrawal on other currency, that would be cool but I don't think it's possible in a off-chain betting site since all are processed here automatically i.e if the bets are won, it will automatically transferred to the same wallet address used when depositing. The only thing that they can do is to support cryptocurrencies other than bitcoin.
1565  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What kind of rewards/bonuses do you prefer? on: May 13, 2023, 07:06:35 AM
It wouldn't be bad if you let us have all the bonuses as you can agree with me that gamblers love bonuses no matter the amount of money they have for gambling,  they still want to tricks with bonuses so giving us options when we can have them all isn't a nice one but for the record I will suggest that you emphasis more loyal bonuses  and I've hear in the past how casinos deprive some certain class of persons who .are a lot of win on their platform if their bonuses and that sidnt right as most times they feel bad a s there isn't any reason why a player will be deprive of his bonuses simply because he makes alot of wins on the platform m, and I had to tell you guys this story so you can learn from it and try to reward everyone accordingly.
Yes we all love bonuses but the casino only wants our money. So I don't think it's easy for them to give what you want because it could cost them a lot of money. Loyal bonus is a good idea to hold gamblers but how can the newbie gamblers be attracted to play for the first time if there is no welcome bonus? They need to choose wisely.

Gamblers can still come back as long as they love the atmosphere of the gambling site. That's true that there are casino who limit players who win too much. It's annoying as a fair gambler but there are still many gambling sites out there that we can milk and maybe some of them are not too strict or poor as the other to limit us.
1566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: sending bank statement for verification on: May 12, 2023, 07:10:50 PM
You have probably made the deposit using your bank account and a debit or credit card and they only want to see if you have actually sent the deposit or not and I don't see anything wrong in that. They have nothing to do with your personal information and stuff, you should simply hide sensitive details and send them the details of the transaction.

It should be a matter of concern if they ask you for your personal information or bank account details, etc. Even if they inquire about your bank account number, it shouldn't be an issue since they can't do anything else apart from verifying the payment.
1567  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why Opening an Account in a Bitcoin Sportsbook is the Future of Sports Betting on: May 12, 2023, 05:53:19 PM
I play at multiple sportsbooks so bitcoin books are a must. Instead of keeping money at 3 books, I can transfer money back and forth fast.
But since you do it , bitcoin transactions are very expensive, and if you use LN it is still expensive , it is best to Choose to use sports betting with a site that guarantees that you can withdraw without fees, there are casinos that do it and that assume that expense , and the casinos that implement it will be loved by the players, any player who takes 20 dollars or 10 dollars or even 5 dollars hurts , because to win 1 dollar Playing sometimes it becomes quite difficult to leave them there for a fee that is very much stop, I do not think that these things Should be left like that, the more Improvements they make in a casino, the more they will Attract their clients and they will be more Successful.
Bitcoin transactions are only temporarily expensive and they will be normal in a few days, I don't think one should change their casino preference only for an issue that isn't permanent, also, what casino pays the transaction fees for their gamblers? They will need to pay a lot of money only in fees if they charge nothing to their players for withdrawals.

They can do one thing and that is to not charge extra money for withdrawals and only take what the network takes as the fees for a certain transaction, that can be understood, but they would obviously not pay the fees themselves for every single player.
1568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: May 12, 2023, 04:44:03 PM
In the past gambling platforms used to start from the scratch with small investment. This means they've very limited number of games and from there slowly add more games and keep on reinvesting what they've made out of the business. Now things were different as the competence is quite high. This had made casino business owners to be millionaires, only then they were able to stand against the leading platforms. The gambling industry have grown big over time, and the online gambling have given access for all levels of people to experience gambling.
You are right that the cost of creating an online casino is pretty high these days mainly due to development and game providers fees, and also hiring people for management of the platform since it is not something that one can do alone or with only a couple of people, there needs to be developers, customer support agents, server managers, and a lot more.

On top of everything, marketing and promotional costs are touching the sky these days, and without proper marketing, a platform doesn't prosper at all. It is a good marketing strategy that can give a great initial boost to a platform after the launch.

I am sorry to hear about what you are going through regarding your health conditions, and I hope you get well soon, and I wish that you become able to walk again someday. I love your spirit and your personality that never gives up and is always ready to face the challenges put up by life and such people tend to get success for sure.

With your Bitcoin investments, it might not be a lot but it is better than nothing, and it will surely give you something if the price goes too high in the future, so you should keep holding. Also, regarding jobs, maybe you should try and do freelancing which you can do on your laptop and your health conditions won't be an issue for that and you will earn some money too in your free time.
1570  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering requirements for withdraw on: May 12, 2023, 08:12:34 AM
It's pretty common indeed but you need to keep doing your part in terms of reading the terms and condition to make sure you'll be able to maximize the uses of the gambling site you pick to play your game, with proper understanding of the requirements you will not be surprise if something is needed to implement since you do your part reading and understanding what is being said.

Accepting the requirements means that you are willing to follow whatever the house is implementing, for you to be able to transfer your money or for you to manage to take advantages of any offers that the house is offering.
This has been talked about a lot before, and indeed the main reason many have problems is that people are lazy to read it or they think the rules in every casino are the same, even though things are very different.
Indeed, reviews can be faked, but we can sort that out and see how many give positive reviews and how many give negative reviews. It can be a reference for us, although in the end we have to check it first. However, for reputable casinos, especially those on this forum, it can be recommended.
Though reviews can also be faked in this forum, you can easily determine that the person who is faking a review is lying based on the rank since most fake review posters create new accounts only for that purpose, if a platform hires some members from the forum that has higher ranks only to post fake reviews then that's a different ball game altogether.

I don't understand why people find it difficult to read terms and conditions when they are putting their money on the line. If I was to put my money on something, I would obviously make sure that everything is okay with it otherwise I won't risk my money.
1571  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀-Sportsbet.io-🚀 - Main sponsor of Southampton FC 👋👋 on: May 11, 2023, 09:10:11 PM
Anyway I picked a UCL special bet before the game and won it from the freebet I got in UFC sportsbet promo. I feel tomorrow would be a good day for me.
That was a pretty nice odds. So where is the rest of your bet for the evening? Well Knowing your betting pattern, you should have gone for either Benzema, Haaland or Vini to score  Roll Eyes
Hell yeah I lost the others! Luckily I just put small amount to those categories lol. It was Vini, Valverde, and Gündoğan to score. Don't ask me why these names Embarrassed
May I though? Cheesy I mean I get Vini, he scores a lot, but valverde and gundogan? Lol, I mean yeah anything could happen in sports and we could have seen them score as well, but why not someone like benzema or haaland? As we all know they are pretty high scoring people with many goals. I could understand something like vini+benzema+haaland or vini+de bruyne+haaland if you thought city would win, those are high scoring names that could do it, but gundogan? valverde? Sure they score too but not a lot Cheesy.

In any case, I had a simple bet, City to win the game, that's it and I ended up with a loss as well and it was a decent chunk of money so I am sad that I lost it but that happens when you are betting, I will do it again for the second game and I hope it gets better results.
1572  Economy / Gambling / Re: How does AI gambling sound? on: May 11, 2023, 08:53:14 PM
I have never seen anything like AI gambling. I don't know why people are always carrying trending news to make things look more interesting and bring more customers to there platforms. I have seen making AI crypto projects and I wonder why many people are always after things that are trending. We need to know what we are doing so we are not going to follow trend and end up losing our money just because we want to play AI bets.
AI is already been there ever since before. They can be found it the offline or on the online world. The auto response that we get when contact support , the auto betting, and many more. They are just a few examples of AI.

You already saw it before mate and even up to now but you are not only aware because you have a different expectation of what AI looks like. Carrying trends is one of the ways to attract a customer, so expect that each business including gambling will follow it. As long as they are legit, they will offer games which are fair, that players has the chance to win too sometimes. It's not wrong to follow them but we shouldn't rush of course. Observation must still be in place.
1573  Economy / Gambling / Re: A reminder for gamblers to avoid FortuneJack (ongoing lawsuit, 120k usd stolen) on: May 11, 2023, 07:43:22 PM
For a gambling platform to have a lawsuit does not mean that the casino is not good for other gamblers to use and make bets. Lawsuit is a normal thing as this business may concern because I don't see anything wrong for a company to have a lawsuit or a matter in the court. Same thing happens when stake was taken to court and many were think of reducing the rate at which they make bets on the platform.
Lawsuit is not common in online casino because the only way customer will file a lawsuit is when he is confident enough to his case. Typical issue of the casino always solved via the forum, 3rd party gambling arbitrage or Curacao report. What common instances is casino always have an active scam accusation in the forum.

A lawsuit will automatically junk if there’s no basis on the case. So if the casino has a an active lawsuit therefore something is really wrong. But on this case. OP is just full of BS because he can’t provide any evidence for having one. I doubt too that he will waste money on lawsuit while his case is very obvious against casino terms and conditions for doing double same bets to rigged the casino.
Maybe it is common but we are not aware of it because our forum has no section for lawsuit, just a scam accuse. The number of scam accuse is more than the lawsuit because it is easy to post it and it was only free but lawsuit has a big money involved and the only one that can do it are the whale gamblers because they can gamble huge amounts.

I totally agree on what @Desmong said. Not all sites that has a lawsuit are now dangerous to access but maybe there is only a miss understanding between the player and the casino owner. We can just continue playing there are long as the site is still proven to be legit and the lawsuit issue will just be resolved later on. Stake got a lawsuit too before but they are still standing strong.

You've heard the adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Why tinker with snappy catchphrases that simply vibe? It's true, every Tom, Dick, and Harriet might be spewing the same rhymes, but c'mon, they hit the mark for good measure!
There is no gambling site that is perfect 100% but time after time there will always be issues that will be experienced and this must be fixed as soon as possible so that customers will not be bothered. In case there are no issues at the moment, it does not mean that the gambling site will now be contented but they must still do something in order to improve the existing feature of their casino, as the customer is always looking for something fresh.

Snappy catchphrases are a kind of marketing tool so they are still helpful as we know that marketing plays a big role in the success of a company. It can turn heads and people will stop by to check the site. They will then decide if they will add it on their playing list or not.
1575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 11, 2023, 10:40:30 AM
Whenever I see the performance of Ac Milan and Inter Milan as champions I think Napoli could have a much better performance than both teams if they didn't lose the chance in the quarter-finals against Ac Milan however they just lost the game because they didn't have their most important player Osimhen, otherwise Napoli could win that game.
Before Napoli against Inter, they will fight Monza first, and I'm sure Napoli will take advantage of Monza to win by scoring lots of goals because, so far, Napoli's matches have often ended in a draw, so the points they got are not as many as last week. Napoli must improve their performance to win every match.
After having title under their belt most chances things will be not like we have in early part of this season for Napoli because most chances they will go through with their different strategy and having more youngsters for practising as well because surely we will have few changes in next season which can create problems for them in case of exit for few top players which are under the radar of many big clubs with their performance.

Monza is also having good performance in last few matches, and they are trying their best for the improvement of their rank before end of this season, so they will also try their best for having better result currently both teams are at the top in form with their performance into last five games.

This Juventus deal is getting a bit silly, I understand the logic and I understand that it looks like Juventus may have done some financial crime, and that is totally understandable. But I think the result of a financial issue should be a financial penalty, not points and that just doesn't make sense.

If a team of your nation is doing well, then attacking them to make them worse never made sense for me, other teams find it illegal and unfair? Then give them financial punishment so that you would have the team get a little worse, just like the little better they got with financial issue. However, giving them points penalty, the points they won on the field, makes no sense, crime was done in an office, punishment was given to the field, illogical at best.

This is why it's important to have more than one asset all the time. Those who have funds in their casino accounts and those who have other cryptocurrencies apart from Bitcoin are not going to face any issues in such a situation. You could easily deposit a different asset to your gambling account and played with that.

I personally don't gamble much, so I can definitely wait for all this to become normal before I gamble if I ever wanted to. Others will obviously use the method that I mentioned above, using different cryptocurrencies for their gambling deposits and withdrawals.
1578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Politicians behind the development of gambling platform on: May 09, 2023, 01:50:03 PM
Casino owners are doing tremendous work for some countries and many people don't know it.

there are many politicians in my country that are into the gambling business and they have been running the casino for a long time now, the casinos are now family businesses.

I don't think that the law will go against this person that OP is talking about because one way or the other casinos are benefiting the government in every countries, that is what I heard from someone who knows some casino owners.

Several things are not being told to us by the government, and I don't expect them to do so. In my opinion, they are making sure every casino is up so that they can earn money.
It's an obvious thing, they (the government) get very large amounts of money as income tax from both casinos and the gamblers and that is the reason why they let them operate if the business is lawfully allowed to operate within a country, and I don't see any reason why a government will not allow a politician to have or run a gambling business if it's legal.

The government will not tell us everything but we know what they do and what they don't, we even know the motives behind every move they make which they might try to cover up with a follow-up event only to divert the attention of the public.
1579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: May 09, 2023, 01:11:22 PM
As I understand it, few countries are really interested in identifying people dangerous to society at an early stage. More to the point, they are not even interested in reducing the number of gambling addicts. Everything the authorities do is in one way or another about increasing the level of control over the citizens. Everything else is just for show. That is why close people are the only ones who can help to identify gambling addiction at an early stage and help a gambler to overcome it.
Well, in a way, gambling addicts are also dangerous to society since the urge to gamble when there is no money left can make one do vicious things just like the story in the OP, so if there is a special force in a country that aims to identify people dangerous for the society at an early stage, they need to add gambling addicts in their list for sure.

And about those gambling addicts who identify themselves to be in a bad situation and need help and even ask for it, they deserve getting help since its a curse and one should be taken away from it as quickly as possible.
1580  Economy / Speculation / Re: My advice to you regarding bear markets. on: May 09, 2023, 06:09:22 AM
According to the data from CoinMarketCap, there are more than 23,000 cryptocurrencies on the market so far, most of which have very low trading volume and acceptance, and there will have many scam projects. But Bitcoin is exceptional from all these cryptocurrencies. Which is at the leading position worldwide.

Bitcoin is favorite among investors for several reasons one of them is its market capitalization. Bitcoin has larger market capitalization than any other currency and have much liquidity, allowing it to be easily bought and sold without significantly affecting the price. Currently, there are various initiatives based on Bitcoin. Some countries have already recognized Bitcoin as a legal currency. As a result Bitcoin is now a naturally high demand cryptocurrency. But before investing here an investor must give importance to the timing. This must be a scheme for rich people who can hold bitcoins for a long period of time.

Since cryptocurrency is highly volatile, its ups and downs should be taken with ease. Those who simply accept the bearish and hold on to the bullish period will be the successful. Just remember that bearish market is the source of energy for bullish market.
I think there are like 40 projects on the market, rest are beyond my scope and would never invest. People who invest out of top 40 projects are people who are taking risks that are not worthy and shouldn't do that. I have seen people invest into projects that are not even in top 1000, that is a stupid move and should be avoided if you could and yet they still did it for some reason, no idea why they did that. Long story short, bitcoin is something I can agree with, that is the best coin and will stay as the best coin and will do as well as hoped for.

People who are acting as if bitcoin will not make them "enough" money do not realize that there are people who got rich off stocks, if stocks can go up that much, bitcoin can go up even more without a doubt, there is still enough potential left.
