I see a lot posts and replies being drafted using ai bots on many platforms like reddit, discord and quora. Do you think this is a bad sign for the future?

I have friends who practically run their whole lives around chat gpt, every little daily question or thought goes straight to the AI, it worries me because they aren't thinking for themselves anymore  Huh

I feel like the word retirement has a totally different meaning in the 21st century. I doubt anyone actuals "retires" anymore, it more like financial freedom to just pursue what you want, when you want.

I'd happily "retire" onto a nice plot of land and fix up old cars, it'll be hard work but I'll be doing what I want knowing I've already secured my financial freedom.

Just my 2 cents  Grin

I'm sure there are some shady places where this kind of tech is implemented to scam people but the reality is the casino doesn't need to scam anyone.

Roulette is a game of chance where the odds favour the casino, why would any reputable provider risk their customers loyalty in favour of greed and law breaking when they already have the advantage.

Some great advice and opinions on this thread, great to see. I think all gamblers overdo it once in a while but as a person who genuinely enjoys gambling for entertainment and has previously made some poor mistakes I will say.

1. Learn from your mistakes, those times you took it too far were because you lost control and ignored your gut telling you to slow down.

2. Substitute playing yourself for watching someone else play, it can be just as entertaining and sometimes even more entertaining when the stakes are higher than your typical bets.

3. Read the stories of others who over did it, it will keep you humble and you'll learn from others mistakes.

There's no such thing as a winning strategy, most of the time you're just making your balance go further than it would without a strategy, which is fine! If you're gambling for entertainment then staying alive longer is good value for money  Grin

Why did the banker switch careers?  Huh Because he lost interest!

Then he was going to be a doctor, but he got sick of it.

9  Economy / Gambling / Thought's on many major fiat-crypto payment gateways ditching casino business's? on: August 24, 2023, 10:58:53 AM
Hey guys, so I've been doing some digging into fiat-crypto casino payment gateways specifically. Right now Stake.com and Bc.game use Moonpay for their "buy crypto" function, however after contacting Moonpay, Transak and a few other major fiat-crypto payment gateways I've learned that these providers no longer accept new casino business.

In the case of Moonpay they are upholding their existing agreements with casino providers (for now I guess) but new operators are only being accepted with casino licenses in the UK and USA (both of which require their own unique gaming licenses) as well as a reputable international license (e.g. curacao, malta, antigua etc.).

Transak on the other hand are just straight up removing themselves from the gambling industry altogether.

I think it's a real shame that new providers won't have access to reputable fiat to crypto on-ramps, it creates an uneven playing field as the big guys get treated differently.

Ever since I watched that Joe Grand guy crack that trezor wallet with 2 million inside on youtube I've been turned off. There's no perfect solution right now but I still think using hardware wallets as a 2FA approach is a good thing.

Sup guys, I have some long haul flights coming up and would love some mobile game recommendation's (offline preferably).

I like a lot of the puzzle stuff which is usually offline friendly but if anyone's got some hidden gems it would be much appreciated!

I don't mind paying for game by the way
12  Other / Off-topic / Re: How to teach children about money? on: August 24, 2023, 10:00:09 AM
Rich Dad Poor Dad is actually pretty relevant, I know a lot of people like to shit on this book because it's very basic and some of the lessons are out of date but the whole thing is written from the standpoint of the guys "rich dad's" advice and his "poor dad's" advice.

There's a great story about when he and his friend (rich dad's son), try to "create" money. They go around collecting their neighbourhoods used toothpaste tubes (which in those days were made of lead  Grin ) and melt them down into nickels. When their dads discover the operation they get a lesson in counterfeiting but rich dad is proud of their out of the box thinking.

Anyway the first few chapters might be of some use, they start a comic book library and other silly antics as kids which might inspire your children!
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I will pass KYC later is a bad idea on: August 24, 2023, 09:18:20 AM
Definitely agree that crypto casinos should keep KYC to a minimum unless they suspect the player is a politically exposed person or perhaps their transactions appear to be money laundering related. It's usually quite obvious to the casino when users are attempting to launder ill-gotten funds, the players meet minimum requirements for deposit withdrawal (usually 1 or 2x wager of total deposit amount) and then immediately try to withdraw the majority of funds.

Gambling should be for entertainment and not a route for scammers to clean funds after all but I'm definitely pro no-kyc!
14  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: BetChain Casino scammed me on: August 18, 2022, 11:11:44 AM
I have a problem with the withdrawal of winnings in BetChain Casino https://www.betchain.com/. The fact is that on July 12 I won 4.22 LTC and from that moment the difficulties began. I sent my driver's license for verification, address confirmation, and a selfie with my license. In my account, all my documents are approved and confirmed. I also received an email that the account was fully verified, but for some reason, they refused to withdraw my money. I don't understand what's the matter and really want to figure out this problem.

I have written complaints about several well-known casino sites, but I have not received a response yet. What else can I do?

You could try these guys https://www.askgamblers.com/submit-complaint , hope you get your money bro
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think this is can bring good drive to crypto market on: August 18, 2022, 10:46:55 AM
Do you think this can have any good impact on the market?
I'm sure that the news about PayPal having a support to crypto has been long time ago and this isn't a new news.

Well, as for this news, it has a very good impact to the market but, AFAIK this support from PayPal doesn't really support crypto deposits and withdrawals and it's like you're just playing numbers and names on their platform.

But with their TOS on that page and under it, it seems that they're already supporting in and out transactions which is totally a good news.

Yea paypal have had Ethereum,BTC, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin since 2020, I suspect Bitcoin Cash is still there since it's a legacy coin they'd already set up.

The only update here is the ability to transfer in and out but I've had some pretty rough experiences with Paypal holding funds for days before conversion. At the time I was just testing with 500 bucks of eth for science and I remember it was a least 3 days before I could liquidate.

Not ideal if the market is moving fast, they are more than happy to put your funds on hold for extended periods while they "investigate".
