Actually, we shouldn't be too surprised. In many countries, such sites are illegally banned. Therefore, they cannot transfer cash through banks. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are seen as the most suitable method in this regard.

More and more people are finding the advantages of crypto these days specifically bitcoin.
As btc is gaining popularity, they are now seeing the major benefits such as borderless and anonymous transactions.
We can't deny the fact that some people will take advantage of these benefits, hence, government is not happy about this.
But since they can't control this kind of transaction, what they can do is just regulate the crypto market and set some type of protocols just to get a hold of this market.
1642  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: WARNING! SCAM SITE on: September 09, 2022, 10:45:23 PM
Op haven't posted any evidence, but the comparison of both the interface is almost similar with very few changes. Even the colour contours were the same, which creates doubt over the platform. Always good to go with the trusted casinos available. If you're entering into the BC.game and it can get redirected to this platform. In that point we need to be very careful while entering any particular casino.
^ If OP has full evidence about what he has been scammed that is good to convince more others to believe his warning but upon reading the replies above I am already convinced. I wanted to know how OP was scammed or in what way.

I don't think it matters whether the OP was personally scammed by the casino or not. It's important to warn the community and other players if there is something suspicious about a casino site.
All in all, it is in our players' best interest to post reviews whenever possible, especially if they're negative. If a site has terrible customer service, we want to know about it! If a casino is constantly cheating players, everyone needs to know about it. If anything, I learned that you have to be very careful when trusting new casinos with your money. This is exactly where the strength of community comes in, because when you have the experience of other players before you, you don't have to risk your money on a new, shady casino.


Would be great if the OP will post this in the scam accusations board so other people will be warned as well.
But if not, this is already a good reference for all the gamblers here to double-check and beware of this site.
If they want to check this out, they can always try with their min deposit and see how it goes.
This casino has no thread here, so more than likely, they can get victims outside this forum.

We reviewed Arcanebet a while go: https://www.btcgosu.com/review/arcanebet-casino/  Cool

That's a decent rating for a casino, they could have got a higher rating if not for the very strict KYC they implement
Quote
We are required, by law, to verify all of our players' identities. We do this to comply with the requirements of our licenses, and to maintain the responsibility of actively preventing underage gambling and potential criminal activity on our platform.
Players should take note of this since they mentioned the word all in their KYC, we are used to random withdrawals or when they suspect our account only to do KYC, players should read their TOS and understand before playing but overall the casino looks great and competitive the announcement needs a lot to be desired, they should do more if they want to stand out here, design matters here in Bitcointalk.
This is the details what I actually need, KYC is my first concern when it comes to a new site or supposed new into this platform.
The site looks good and there's no doubt about it, but making this thread very plain is quiet not effective and mostly many wants to see that highlights of this site especially on what they can offer and what are the bonuses and promotions available in this site. It's good to have that reviews right away so we can know if its worth to try or not.

Actually, they are not new in the gambling business.
The OP mentioned, they started as fiat-based gambling site, and later on, added crypto in their payment method.
As you can see, they have license also, hence, the KYC requirement.
You can also check their domain registration here -
https://www.whois.com/whois/arcanebet.com

But it is understandable for most users here who don't prefer to submit KYC.
A lot of reputable casinos here don't require KYC from their users up until now.
So there's no worry if you don't want to play with them as you have other choices also.

I guess there will be more participants when the people close to the location sees that there's a giveaway like around $1k worth of bitcoin.

But this is a noble move for these two because they're helping in spreading the word about bitcoin and using the resources that they have. I think that this should be for most of those enthusiasts that have the capacity in doing it.

They're just doing this out of their kindness and helping to spread the word and with the reason of minimizing illiteracy.

I also commend this kind of initiative from them, at least they are doing something good for others.
The truth is, there are more people that can afford to do this kind of activity, but they prefer not to.
We need more people like them, not only in btc or crypto, but hopefully, even fiat donators.
After all, we don't need much money to have a simple and contented life.
But most people want to accumulate riches as much as they want.
1645  Economy / Economics / Re: Rich Mindset vs Poor Mindset : 6 key differences on: September 07, 2022, 11:50:56 PM
Many businesses started from a loan, and it’s not bad at all because it can also a big help for your business especially if you are planning for an expansion. Loans are ok as long as you will put it on something that generates income, but if you just use it into other things, then that could be a bad debts. There’s a bid difference between poor and rich minded, many think that they are doing good but in reality they are not, having a rich mind is not easy though it might take a lot of sacrifices as well.
Commonly people use loan money for something that can generate income, but make sure it has a great opportunity to earn profits.

If it is for an expansion, it's not at the beginning of a business, but it is for the further development of an established business.
Using loan money for a business startup isn't a good idea since we don't know what the probability of success is. But if the loan money is for the further development of an established business, it is not a bad idea because we know that the chance of success is higher.


As much as possible, if you are just starting up, use what you have.
There's nothing wrong starting from small beginnings, that's when you will also see the potential of your business.
Taking a loan without the assurance of generating income, would only give you a headache because you may not collect the amount for your dues.
I can agree that if it is for expansion, then, you have better chance of returning your loan at your specified arrangements.

Sorry for the mention that when it comes to review sites or listed ones then nothing beats out BTCGOSU for me.
It does have it all without the need of those referral links.
It's not that you don't appreciate his work, right? Be it BTCGOSU or any review site when they feature a casino with an objectively rated trust list then I would really appreciate it. Rather than casino review sites that still feature shady casinos and even scammers with non-objective ratings (such things should be ignored). To the OP for me, he did what he was supposed to do by referring to a trusted casino.

In any business, everyone is welcome to put up their own niche.
We know there are reputable review sites already, but for me, I am open also to anyone who will try to create their own.
They maybe similar, but they can always find a way how to offer a unique or different content.
Let us give him time to increase his content. By the way, not everyone knows a particular review site and just stick to it.
They will always look around and compare or find some new ideas.

The fact is, basically anyone can make their predictions in this market.
But it is up to how solid is their basis of such speculation.
If you will listen and follow the prediction of those sites, you may end up bankrupt in the end.
Filter what they are saying, do they have tangible reasons why they are thinking that price level?
Most of the time, these people are just spreading FUD or FOMO to the public.
1648  Economy / Economics / Re: MONEY IS THE MOTIVATING FACTOR, what do you think? on: September 06, 2022, 10:08:48 PM
What's your take on this?
There will be many people who define money. In terms of value, the function of money has so many benefits. Motivating to encourage people to further improve their self-quality power and develop their potential to achieve financially as expected. But often money is made into a god as if they forget that money is also a double-edged sword. Make a person forget who he is. Why is money so motivating? because in this day and age without money will be an obstacle. I admit everything costs money but that doesn't mean money can buy it. Therefore there is such a thing as self-respect, in economics, it may not be too strange that in fact, self-esteem is the only controller so that money can follow you. Skill, quality, and knowledge make you have value.
The world has turned into a very materialistic and everything is about money. To be honest, it’s hard to live and overcome all the problems we have if we don’t have money, because living without money is like the biggest problem after all. The reason why money becomes the best motivating factor to work hard so that once can gain and earn money. But definitely, if we deeply seek the real truth, money is just temporary so we don’t need to become a slave on it.

Definitely right, but for those who are starving, can we say that they don't need money?
That it will just pass and later on, their fate will change? That's a hard one though.
We know, later on in our lives, we will realize what are the important things in this life.
But as we want to live a decent life, we still need money to survive.
For other luxurious things, I can say, some are living in that kind of lifestyle.
And later on, once they experienced a hard life, they will understand that they don't need such kind of lifestyle.
1649  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What I've learned after 3 years building an algo trading bot on: September 05, 2022, 09:54:15 PM
using bot app I think it is one of the things that do make some people to lose their money, one of my friend who use bot app complain to me that the profit is making through bot and the subscription of the app is similar and he will not advice any one to use such application for trading. So i don't know why some people is valuing the application
actually depending on the bot application used, there are some bots that do help to make the trader's job easier and there are bots that are used for full trading but have a high risk of losing. Trading bots are just for automation, but don't trust bots completely. many bots end up scamming and stealing funds from all their users, such as the fahrenheit trading bot and many trading bots that are very detrimental. it's good to learn technical analysis, trade manually using our own analysis, it will be better because we have full control for the funds we trade. Don't be fooled by the promise of big bonuses, it's just bait to get more people to use it.

Trading bots are good if you know how to program them right.
But if you want to learn the basics of trading first, you will trade manually.
This is also good for yourself to understand better this market.
In that manner, you can also develop your bot better.
When it comes to using other bots, be very careful as you don't know what they are programmed to.
There may be hidden commands that you are ready for. As much as possible, make your own trades, if bot is not really necessary.
1650  Economy / Economics / Re: Nigeria to establish an economic zone which is crypto friendly with Binance on: September 05, 2022, 09:18:47 PM
While this in itself is a very good news for Nigerians, we should hope that the management of the region/zone will not fall into the hands of the corrupt. This is a huge opportunity for Nigerians to learn a lot about cryptocurrencies, and this might help open up jobs for people in the country. However, we all know that a lot of politicians in Nigeria are corrupt. They cna easily embezzle the profits made by this economic zone and it those $$$ will never see the light of day again.

Binance keeps on opening up partnerships on a lot of countries. It seems like they really wanted to be on top of everybody when it comes to introducing cryptocurrencies to a wider audience.

The move is for the sake of the Nigerians when it comes to crypto market.
So it is now on the hands of their politicians if they will utilize it for good or not.
Corruption is rampant in this country, so we can't do anything about it when politicians decide what to do with their income.
But setting aside this thought, I believe, the initiative of binance is great.
Reaching out to these people to offer their services and the chance to connect with all the other people in this world.
1651  Economy / Gambling / Re: 1 - The copycat epidemic within crypto casinos. on: September 05, 2022, 08:43:07 PM

Many site will choose light and attractive design to get more gamblers, maybe this is just a coincidence and with regards to the games, there’s a few game provider and most of the site have the same provider and that’s why the games are almost the same. Competition is good, and if you have a gambling site you will always aim to be more creative and introduce new games, those who can innovate will have a better chance of staying in the market and get more gamblers.
From me i noticed that the design of a website also attract people towards that, because the way I'm seeing this, some people don't like to gamble with a site that have a low design and a website that have issues of deposit delay and withdrawal delay, this two things are the things that make some people to quit from a site that having all this kinds of situations problems

Sometimes the UI/UX is not the topmost priority of many.
It is what kind of reputation the site has among the gambling community.
Because the word of mouth is fast, if in case the site is guilty of delaying either deposits or withdrawals.
You can't escape from the criticism of the players when it comes to this aspect.
So better take care of this so as not to give bad impression to other players.
1652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Set Of Action When Your Account Face An Issue on: September 05, 2022, 07:48:43 PM
So you're playing in a casino and you triple your wager but when you try to withdraw you cannot what set of actions are you going to do,
Are you going to screenshot your dashboard and your deposit, are you going to create a ticket first and ask support what happens to your account or you will ask chat support and screenshot all conversations because of the fear of getting your account ban, or you will directly post your concern here in Bitcointalk.


First of all I will get a screenshot of my account, the balance and the withdrawal request that is on hold.  Second, I will contact the support for inquiry and get the reason why my withdrawal is taking too long.  As much as possible I will avoid any conflicting action to escalate the event.  IF they wanted KYC, depending on the amount I am withdrawing, I may or may not comply.  And if ever I comply and nothing happen, I will still contact the support for the possible problem.  I will implement full patience in the issue and if it happens that the Casino just wanted to keep my money that probably that is the time to seek advice here in the forum.

I will do the same, take screenshots before anything else, even before filing a complaint or talking to their support.
Then, I will contact their support regarding my concern and be honest with the issue as much as possible.
I will also check their ToS if I haven't violated any of them. And think of the reasons why they are not letting me withdraw.
And if they haven't responded and I feel confident that I haven't violated anything, I will still wait for maybe few days.
But if nothing happens, then, maybe, it is high time to seek help from the forum, if in case they have thread here, I will also post my issue.

El-Savador never had a better yesterday, ever since bitcoin adoption till now.

https://twitter.com/stacyherbert/status/1566463771656192004?t=CsWtFmW8b25Hja0KQFyDxA&s=19

Yes, Bitcoin has really given El Salvador an alternative investment and payment platform. It has been reported that its adoption of Bitcoin as a legal tender has attracted tourists to this nation, thereby increasing the income gotten from the tourism sector.

But the tweet you quoted was specifically for the nation's success in making El Salvador safe and not about Bitcoin. El Salvador was ravaged by gang-related crime and the government has done a very good job in limiting their activities to a large extent. President Bukele understood that for his nation to become a Bitcoin hub, it must be safe for investors and Bitcoin tourists.

I am sure in a few years we would begin to see the positive contribution of Bitcoin to the multi-dimensional development of El Salvador.

In El Salvador process was not done the way it was supposed to be, the government should have created the awareness of Bitcoin and it's benefits to the citizens before the adoption. It was lack of knowledge that made the citizens withdraw to 10% of it's users when Bitcoin plummeted.
The government should have study her people and understood what should have came in first before the adoption of BTC.
El Salvador has gone past that stage now. Currently, people are aware of the benefits of Bitcoin and more awareness is still going on. Now it is up to the citizens of this nation to choose between fiat and Bitcoin. Those that are interested would definitely grab the opportunities and options that Bitcoin offers.

In my opinion, we may not see the effect right away of btc being the legal tender in El Salvador.
It may be few years from now, because this development within their country is like work-in-progress.
We should not expect something superb will come out just few months of its implementation.
But if their tourism sector is gaining from this initiative, then, at least, they are already seeing positive from this decision.
It would take time for people to appreciate its existence, and they need to experience it first-hand to understand its advantages.

Gambling should stop when it has a negative effect on your life and those around you. Someone who plays gambling only for entertainment and uses the minimum money that has been provided, of course, it will not interfere, but it will also become a habit. Stopping from gambling when you have lost and spent a lot of money is a very unfortunate thing, because when gambling is still winning, it will not cross the mind to stop.
therefore manage your gambling game well, don't be too greedy and continue to gamble. use minimal funds that will not interfere with the needs and lives of you and your family.
in my opinion gambling is not a healthy activity and all the gamblers stop gambling sooner or late.
Gambling in excess is serious trouble. And one should try to avoid it as much possible.

when they are gamblers who are used to it and earn income from gambling, they will find it difficult to stop. Gambling is not a healthy activity, but there must be control for those gamblers who are already professionals. Gambling excessively will have a negative effect and will damage life. if you can avoid it then avoid it, but if you can't avoid it, at least limit it to playing gambling.

Gambling has negative connotation in our community owed to negative impact of it in most gamblers.
It is not a secret to anyone about the influence of gambling to any person especially if he got addicted to it.
So you won't expect anyone to promote gambling if you have the chance not to venture in this habit.
Great if you are just an occasional gambler, but for those addicted, that's when trouble arises.
Gambling problem won't go anywhere, as gambling is already part of human history and I don't think it will be erase soon.
1656  Economy / Gambling / Re: Some Crazy Fun Facts About Casinos And Gambling You Might Not Know. on: September 04, 2022, 11:50:25 PM
Maybe some gamblers are just territorial and they don't want any disturbance while playing so they just pee right on their seats. Funny but also disgusting for staff who will clean their mess. Some gambling addicts aren't mindful of what they're doing anymore as long as they satisfy their urge to gamble.
But at least they can urinate before continuing the game to avoid disturbing other players who will play gambling after them. Thus, everyone will remain comfortable playing gambling and there will be no such minor annoyances. Maybe once or twice would be fine but if he kept doing that, he probably wouldn't be able to play at the same casino again. Even though they are gambling addicts, it shouldn't be done for any reason so that other gamblers don't feel disgusted when they replace that player playing gambling.

- If that's one of the effects of being addicted to gambling, well, that's embarrassing. You can only give your body what it wants in gambling, you don't care what to do like that, just pee or defecate without caring what other gamblers around you say. It's very difficult, Sir, it appears that the gambler who did that is already abnormal and his actions and thoughts are out of his mind.

Because I have seen many people who have become addicted to gambling through the articles I have read here, but I have not seen any addicted gambler who urinated or defecated while playing games in a casino.

If you are the gambler who happen to have that kind of situation, then, why not prepare for it?
Like wear diaper if you need to, because if you know yourself that you will get into such situation,
better be mindful about others, not only yourself. But for sure, this still happens.
Remember, a gambling addict would do anything not to miss whatever is happening on the gambling table.

If you have noticed the vulnerability of betlucy recently you will know that abuse of casino systems is still prominent. All the scammers are looking for is just a gap to penetrate the site with the illegal activities that are all

With that being said, the casino itself should invest in their security protocols.
Because as we have seen, scammers will always find a way how to abuse the system.
They won't stop up until they are caught or banned or the site already done their security checks.
If you are holding a good amount of money that is not yours, or even yours, certainly, you should
do something to secure and protect it. If not, you will be the one who will lose in this market.
1658  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: September 04, 2022, 09:49:05 PM
The fan of his would also acknowledge that possible lucky punch despite all of those percentages of winning that has been shown.

Not a disrespect but this could be taken by him as a challenge and prove everyone that he's got what it takes to beat the champ. Well, that could just be his mindset upon looking at these odds and percentage that's shown to the public by many speculators.

Most likely that will be Paul Butler's motivation here, because he is a huge underdog so his mindset should shift gear and focus that he can do it, be positive against the Monster.

So in the first couple of rounds we will see if he can stay with Inoue and that motivation and his big heart of him will be enough to counter the power of Naoya and survived the distance. But I doubt it because Inoue is truly an amazing fighter and complete and still improving every fight.
Yeah, exactly.

Too many things to consider by Butler and look at it as a challenge and motivation that he should throw some great punches that will prove that the fans are wrong and he's that great.

But still, we'll see it then if he's going to be that one great puncher against Inoue which we know that he can really win on this match even it's not yet started.
Lots had been anticipating that this would really be an easy park walk by Inoue on this fight but we are really just underestimating too much on Butler.Preparations would be surely made and Butler is fully aware

as much as we do that he would really be fighting against a tough and powerful wall considering that we arent that blind on what history does Inoue has when it comes into its previous fights.
Some do even conclude that it would only last up only 2 rounds which is something that on the real side but we dont know on how this would be ending up.
It all matters on preparation and on how these fighters would be trying out to knockdown their opponent.

Inoue surely has the edge on this match, but we can't guarantee what will happen inside the ring.
This is boxing, anything can happen inside the ring and upset is always part of this sports.
Though I am leaning on Inoue's side, but still, we can't disregard Butler's preparation.
But more than likely, this fight will be interesting to watch. I hope Butler will give a toe-to-toe fight on Inoue.

By imposing those requirements they ensure that cheaters and those who only claim bonuses and never make real deposits will be excluded and won't be able to abuse the promotion. At the same time, they reward their active and loyal customers.
Dropping bonuses without the deposit requirement from time to time will help to attract new customers and give them a chance to try out the casino before making a deposit.
What I like most is that the required amount to deposit and the wagered amount to claim the bonuses aren't to hard to achieve even for small players without having to change their gambling habits.

The impact can easily be seen by the casino owners, when it comes to dropping those freebies.
So they should act fast and place their terms and conditions, otherwise, it can easily be abused.
I don't think it is fair to say, a site was bankrupt because of these freebie hunters, because the dev team has the control to stop it.
If they will not do anything about it, no conditions or anything, definitely, these hunters will take advantage of it.
1660  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you play online/offline without your wife or family knowing it? on: September 03, 2022, 11:47:36 PM
Based on my personal experience, it's very hard to keep this secret from everybody, especially your wife. The more you hide, the more you are prone to lose so better tell her that you are doing this gambling activity and explain that it is for fun and you only gamble extra money that you have, if she listens then good if she insists that you stop it then it is up to you how to convince her that this is just for fun.

Bottom line, you should tell to avoid surprises in the future as this will not be a secret all the time.

Honesty will also give you at peace when you're playing.
At least you are not hiding and always looking over your shoulder.
Whatever you agreed upon with your wife, is much better than hiding it.
Because you will be discovered also later on, and that will give you much trouble.
