1081  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: July 30, 2023, 05:59:03 PM


I think it depends on how you look at it or interpret the word addict because it's almost undeniable that there are even some positive things even after labeled as an addict. But in most situations, addicts are synonymous with crackheads or someone who does things excessively because they already lost total control over themselves, cannot think clearly and the ability to weigh things correctly as well is already lost.

It cannot be denied that addicts have very distinctive behaviors of this, since we think that we develop in a world where society aims a lot, and that society is sometimes capable of being so ferocious that it is capable of making anyone sick, for example , and where I live people are too funny, and they talk about others, but what happens? gossip reaches the intelligent person, because the intelligent person is not interested in those stories that he does not even know if it is true or not, then a casino player can say that he is vicious, that he has a skin-deep addiction, but he is the life of that person, if he does not harm anyone or anything, that he be left alone, then I think that is the Main thing about this.

In the future, when I am of an advanced age, I would like to venture only as a way of working to be alone in trading and in casinos, that is why sometimes this type of thread, all the amount is advice on how some players play and how I like how they handle things the way they do, because it is evident that they have had more betting capacity and more money than me, and those who have the pleasure of sharing it I value it, just as I tell my anecdotes and my losses or gains , because somehow I know that I am contributing to someone who is asking for advice.

We or most of us live in societies where casino gambling and sports betting are seen as something bad, as something of a vice, addiction, loss or the worst, but I have seen people who smoke a lot and get sick because of it. nobody tells them that it is harmful to health, so I think that a person who tells us that those who play in casinos are bad people, even though he is a successful player and has good earnings, well, they should not consider it that way, is very different the things that people can develop, each head is different, each person has different dreams, and that must be respected.

In an advanced age, the person who trades, plays in casinos and knows how to manage their money well, I am sure they will avoid having diseases similar to amnesia and others, because the brain is active.

I feel like you're going off on a tangent here, so much so that I no longer see the main idea behind your post lol, but all good though. If you're talking about the duality or the double standard that society imposes upon addicts and gamblers then I'd say you're particularly wrong. Efforts are being made to eradicate cigarette smoking, especially among teenagers and young adults. Alcoholism and drug abuse are seeing efforts to be eradicated. On the other hand, since Gambling isn't really an inherently bad thing, and while people may judge you for it if they found out you're gambling, the government doesn't necessarily intervene, and you're inflating the judgment part of this scenario cause in the real world, no one really cares about you except the people you care about. No one's gonna go out of their way to tell you to stop gambling or whatnot. It's you vs you in here.

I don't even understand the necessity of your final statement lol. But oh well you do you my brother.
1082  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino Slot Streamers on: July 30, 2023, 05:39:21 PM
Here I found a list of Top 10 Casino Slot Streamers which includes Corinna Kopf ,Tyler Faraz Niknamm, Flávio Fernandes and many others.

Do you guys follow the casino streamers and are they fun to watch? Or do you think that playing casino slots yourself is more fun?

While these streamers may earn a good amount of money through streaming, they sometimes may become inspirational to the gamblers which may lead the normal gamblers to gamble more or become addicted too in some cases.

Thoughts Huh


Not a specific Casino Streamer but I used to watch XQC and every now and again he'd stream slots and while some would think it's the most boring stuff ever, he makes up for it by becoming even more deranged and lively when he's playing slots. I don't know what's getting into him when he's playing slots and I'm not sure I want to know either but yeah, for the most part it's entertaining and he makes one of the most boring stream concepts more alive by just being there.

Yassuo is another but he's stopped with streaming casino games altogether and he's exclusively playing videogames again so there's that. Not sure about the legitimacy of their balance cause I know some of these streamers are sponsored by the casino and are given a streamer account to play with, fake balances and all.
1083  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A weird belief among some gamblers. on: July 30, 2023, 05:15:55 PM
I'm not sure that's the reason why the young gambler refused to make a rebet of his bet. If he explicitly said that then cool, but I think I know the reason why he refused the old man's requests.

For one, there must be a fixed prize pot at stake for gamblers to claim after they win, having more than one winning bet will divvy the pot's prize amongst these people, he may want the pot for himself only should he win the game. Another reason would be to avoid troubles with other gamblers. I would assume he never knew this guy his whole life and would rather decline an old man's request and steer away from potential trouble if things go awry, than grant him what he wants and face discrepancies in the future. I'd say it's wise both ways and if I were in his position I might do the same lol.
1084  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ADVICE]Boy Wins $46k from Sports Bet but Can't Tell Strict Religious Parents... on: July 30, 2023, 05:02:22 PM
Someone recently won $46,606 from making a correct prediction on one of the matches in the on-going 2023 FIFA Women World Cup competition from his wager of $10 on a sports betting website. The person is unemployed and within the ages of 20 - 23. He lives with his parents who are strict religious people that frown on gambling and other youthful vices. His parents are certainly not going to be happy that their son engages in gambling despite winning such huge amount of money. He doesn't want them to be upset with him. He says he's going to keep it a secret. I disagreed with him because despite having strict parents, they are going to be mad at him for a little while but I don't think they'll tell him to return the money. What do you guys think? Should he tell his parents or secretly invest the money while acting his regular self around the house?
Is telling his parents going to do him any good? Will the money be safe with 2 more people knowing that you had less than 50 thousand bucks sitting inside the house? Are the parent's trustworthy, given the fact that they'd much rather let the kids keep secrets instead of being upfront with them cause of these stupid consequences? If the answer is no to one or more of these then I suggest he keep his money to himself and invest it for his future when he finally move out. They say blood is thicker than water but if that's the case then it's much easier to drown in blood than in water, and if I were to be given the choice between the two I'd much rather drown in the latter. I feel like I'm going on a tangent here but all I'm saying is, not everything must be revealed or told to your parents especially if it only concerns you and not them.
1085  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: July 28, 2023, 11:52:50 PM
I don't know for people but I know very well that someone supposed to have a payable job before the person have to join betting in the gambling, so I know that anyone who receiving salary is liable to stake in gambling, but using age as a barrier is not good because somebody can be at age of 25 years but it doesn't have no work or job but is a gambler it will make the person to be addicted in gambling because all its hope will be in gambling, why another person who have a job will not depend on gambling, we are suppose to be looking at the job not the age before you can be allow to gamble
There must be at least passive income to be used as betting material because of course expecting gifts from others or maybe parents would not be very ethical if it was used for gambling.
Even though there are definitely still things like this but I think of course it should be reduced especially we should also be aware that gambling is a behaviour that is sometimes looked down upon by others although I don't really care about it.
I think in this case people who are in gambling are people who certainly have more thought and responsibility because they should be aware that this is a dangerous action if they do not control themselves properly.
I agree with what you said because there is no way that people who have no income can gamble at least it's just torturing themselves.
In addition gambling is pure entertainment and is not for making money why people get loss everytime is because they take gambling as source of earn a living, if somebody have a professional job and the payment is reasonable I think that playing gambling is just an entertainment for the person because it will not be after making payments or not, so that is what I'm telling you guys to understand but a poor person gambles as if gambling is the last hope of a man

Feel like you're going off in a tangent but I kind of get what you're trying to convey. It's true, there's dangers in gambling which is why I myself advocate for it only being used as a form of entertainment and past-time, not as something you'd actively do in search of more money. But of course people won't listen to this, kids and people with little to no financial capabilities will continue to get hooked to gambling cause apart from it being fun and all that it's also something that they see is a way to earn quick cash, which it isn't. Intervention, campaigning, and information protests are good and all that but if the people aren't willing to hear or willing to instill discipline this is going to continue to be a problem.
1086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: July 28, 2023, 11:34:58 PM
I mean that's the basic gist of it anyway. The poor gamble because they feel like they need to, the rich gamble because they can. Plus as I said in a previous comment I made that certain gambling forms like sweepstakes and lotteries are literal money traps that are made to lure poor unwitting people into playing, they paint the picture of a better life if you win the game and claim the jackpot, but we all know that's far from happening considering the whole system's rigged against the player. Still, since these poor people, most of the time uneducated and desperate to get their big break in life, fall victim to these traps where they constantly spend money, some of them even dedicating a portion of their salary to pay for tickets and shit. Can we do something about it? No, not really.

If I may assume, I do not agree to generalize that poor people feel the need to gamble, I think all factors are affected by the environment. not all poor people like to gamble, only some of them hope to win a victory from their gambling session. in a sense, getting rich in one night. and the only type of gambling that makes someone a millionaire, is lottery gambling. Lots of gamblers hope to get the jackpot from the lottery. even if it has to be percentaged, the probability of winning is very slim. only lucky people once in a lifetime win the jackpot from lottery gambling. but make no mistake, if there are some rich people who also like this type of lottery gambling.

btw, I'm intrigued by one point you said, "the whole system is rigged" I don't know how you knew that was the case. for an illegal casino, it is highly likely that cheating could occur. but for reputable casinos, which have a credible reputation. less likely, if they commit fraud. logically, they don't want the reputation that they have pioneered to be destroyed immediately because the casino is suspected of cheating.

For the rich, yes it is true they gamble because they can afford it. yet it makes no difference to the casual gambler and even the poor gambler, that they are potentially addicted. the difference is, they have a source of funds even though some of them have gone bankrupt because of their gambling. it could also be, they are just gambling for fun, after going through a series of busyness in their business.
anyway, for the most part we agree with what you said even though not completely.
Not my intention to hastily generalize a specific group of people over a discussion on why poor people gamble, I'm just saying that those poor people who gamble, do so because they feel like they need to in order to win and make ends meet. I should've made it a lot clearer which is an honest mistake on my part. I don't agree that all poor people gamble, most of them don't have the capabilities anyway and the others that do, are either aware of the nitty-gritty behind the gambling industry, or are just not interested with it.

As for my "the whole system is rigged" cabash, it's not just about getting licensed or operating under legal jurisdiction. It's just that casinos literally rigged the system in their favor. Fun fact: we have been gambling for thousands of years but casinos didn't came to be until around 1638 or 1618 if I'm not mistaken. Back then people gamble with each other with no mediator, so one guy wins and another loses, casinos came in and change the whole game by introducing more features and less transactions with other players, not to mention house advantage.

So now instead of another person earning your pot when you lose on a gamble, it's the casino that's taking it, and at the same time, the house edge literally puts them at a priority higher than the player which if is not "rigging the system" then I don't know anymore.

I'm not saying this to throw shade at casinos or gambling sites cause heck I'm playing on these casinos too, but I'm driving the point of why poor people shouldn't gamble, and why rich people gamble. The poor gamble even if they couldn't because they believe it as a way for them to get that big break they're looking for all their lives, the rich knew that the system is rigged but plays anyway cause there's thrill in beating a system that's stacked against you.
1087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🔻 List of Casinos and Sportbooks to Avoid on: July 28, 2023, 11:07:33 PM
I'm aware of the 1xbit scamming activities but can't say the same about 22bet and 1xbet fiat based platform.
It does not matter what they are doing because they have the same parent russian company as 1xbit, and I dont think anyone from 22bet casino was ever registered on bitcointalk forum.
In the end I can say that this is my list I can put any casino I want in here, but you can always create your own list and support them if you want.

I mean it's a no brainer for us to not deal with crypto casinos that do not have any announcement thread here cause 9 times out of 10 they're evading the peering eyes of the people so they could continue with their daily scam activities. I didn't know that 22bet was even connected with them until you pointed it out lol. Anywho, I don't think creating a new list is needed, and I know it's just you taking charge and all that but I'd be more than happy if you'd take other people's input and research upon the casinos placed here with their own sets of scam accusations if you may. If you don't want to that's fine but it would really help every newbie out here to avoid these casinos as most of them had no idea which casinos are reputable and which are not, and threads like these are really beneficial in informing them of such.
1088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is Gamble gaining more fans than Bitcoin? on: July 28, 2023, 10:41:36 PM
^

Gambling, unlike Bitcoin, has been known for thousands of years. Today it is difficult to find a corner where there is not known at least one gambling game. Bitcoin's white paper was written only 15 years ago, so it should come as no surprise that gambling is more widespread than Bitcoin.


I understand that gambling has been around a long time. Apart from the point of duration of time that both have been around, gambling is more of direct reach to the people. Like if you bet you either lose or you profit, straight and direct process but in comparison with bitcoin, you won't say the same of it.

For Bitcoin you have to buy to invest, hodl , open a wallet, wait for increase before profit but gambling is totally different from that.
Gambling is also easier understood by people in general than Bitcoin, because it's already part of their culture and tradition since a long ago, therefore people have contact with gambling probably since their childhood. And with contact with gambling I don't mean access to physical or online casinos, but to daily plays which involve betting on some events that may occur along the day and on determined situations. That gives people a good notion of gambling and get them familiarized with this, so when they grow older, it will be a piece of cake to join a casino and start playing.

With Bitcoin, on the other hand, people may get aware about it only during their adulthood, so they will have more difficulties familiarizing with this.
Basically boils down to the fact that gambling has been a more prevalent concept than bitcoin which only came into being in 2009. OP wanted to understand why that was the case, to the point that even bitcoin and cryptocurrencies see gambling institutions being built to accommodate for cryptocurrency users who wanted to gamble. All in all she has a point but it's not because bitcoin is lagging behind or that it's an inferior concept than gambling. It's just that gambling has been here for longer, since thousands of years ago mind you, and thus it has embedded itself in the heart of the society that there were even cases where children learn how to count through gambling rather than formal education. No need to compare these two schools of thought as I said in my previous post, but OP has a valid question that warranted a valid answer.
1089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Committed Suicide After Losing School fees, And That Of Friend To Betting.. on: July 28, 2023, 09:49:37 PM
First, you think suicide is never an option, regardless of depression. This shows courage but ignores the hardships some people suffer. I agree that gambling addiction ensnares many. To claim it's unavoidable? That's like saying a poor hair day is lifelong! Even the most stubborn addictions can be overcome. Sorry about your online betting issues. Like a leaky ship, right? You can win if you realize you're more than your losses. Like a duck, let losses slide off your back and paddle hard under the surface!

I still don't know how manipulative it is for one to gamble with their school fee.
Now my question is; Is the bettor upto the minimal age requirement to gamble?
Because I know too well that responsible gambler would never gamble with his or their school fee after knowing too well about the principles of gambling, and of one gambling with what they could be able to lose instead of using a whole lots of school fees to gamble thinking they would strike a harder winning maybe doubling their school fees.
This is a wrong choice and the parent need to watch there children or take a very important steps in ensuring that they monitor there children so that they will not be lured into doing something that is not right. It is very wrong for a children especially a student to go into gambling when they are not even upto 18 years or more. Every countries had the proper age a person must reach before thinking of gambling. This days that we have online casinos, it is more convenient for school children to go into gambling even without the parent suspecting anything from the child and make Children are the ones that normally gamble.
Supervision from parents is needed so that their children are not provoked into doing something that can get them into trouble. But the problem now is that many parents are so busy with their work that they forget to watch over their children, so there is much juvenile delinquency around us.

Maybe the age limit for children is not yet 18 years old or gambling is not allowed. But with so many online casinos nowadays, they can just play gambling online and use fake identities to register. The availability of an internet network everywhere makes it easier for them to play gambling. This requires serious attention from parents to supervise their children even though they are very busy working.
I would agree with you, and I understand why you would think that considering that a lot of teenage people with clinical depression are found to have attributed the lack of their parent's apparent care and love as one of the reasons why they succumbed to that ailment. And while blaming the parents in this regard wouldn't do anything good as we all know they're the ones who are probably suffering the most out of this whole ordeal, their negligence should've really played a part in the formative years of this kid for him to be this depressed and this afraid of failure.

This isn't gambling's fault anymore although it was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back in this case, there's more likely more than what meets the eye in this case that lead to this eventuality.
1090  Economy / Gambling / Re: Top 5 Advantages of Bitcoin Casinos vs. Traditional Casinos on: July 28, 2023, 08:41:37 PM
With the integration of blockchain technology, Bitcoin casino advantage is that, they can implement provably fair gambling.  Aside from that, players from any place of the world can easily play gambling games without the need for the third party company to process the transfer.  The integration of blockchain to the casino includes the unbanked players.  That is some of the advantages of Bitcoin casinos over Traditional casinos.
Yes this can be a great advantage of blockchain based Casino. Here anyone can gamble very easily by just opening an account and depositing some bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies. And since all transactions here are recorded on the blockchain, the whole thing is very secure and trust worthy. And the biggest advantage here is that gambling can be done easily at home in the privacy of everyone's eyes using only a smartphone. that's why online Casino is very popular now
It's one of the best selling points that blockchain casinos have over traditional ones. The trustless trust system as they call it. It's very hard to emulate this with other existing technologies if you won't use blockchain technology, but it offers a niche purpose which is to act as a verifier of results for certain RNG-type games. Still, it's a great addition, and the best thing about it is not only can it be implemented in the gambling industry, but the same provably fair mechanic could also be implemented in Web3.0 games in the future.

Another benefit of blockchain casinos is that they are global. Most conventional casinos out there are specifically situated in countries that allow them to operate under, this doesn't happen to blockchain casinos as they are decentralized and can operate regardless of border, this spells well for people who wanted to play but are disallowed by their home country due to certain jurisdictions, at least without getting caught.
1091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How was your first experience with gambling? on: July 28, 2023, 08:25:26 PM
       -     I think the reason why I got into crypto gambling is because I was hyped by my friend who is close to me, because he always tells stories when he wins gambling here in the crypto space. if he doesn't make a mistake in a month he wins 2-3 times in gambling.

And for each of his wins, the lowest amount he won was 400$+ and the highest he won was 1k$ plus so I was jealous of him, that's why. that pushed me why I started gambling here in crypto.
Peer pressure is a really big factor among us huh? Lol I was introduced into gambling (online gambling at least) through the same thing although my experience was a bit more active and sadder. It's fun playing with friends and I can attest to that cause it gives more life to every second that you're playing, plus the banter and the trashtalk along with other fun stuff makes every game exciting and fun even if it's just gambling and card games. I suggest you set up a similar thing with your friends where you all gamble and hold a competition on who's going to win the most at the end of the day. Put up a prize pot or a reward for the taking and watch as chaos ensue in your discord servers lol.
1092  Economy / Gambling / Re: Exploring the Math Behind Crash on: July 28, 2023, 07:57:52 PM
For my fellow math nerds,

I have found a very useful video which explains the mathematics and probabilities behind the game Crash and why beating the game with a low multiplier strategy in the long term is almost impossible. Anyone who has played on the Roobet Cryptocurrency Casino should know about it since their code is open source, which is available to everyone but you would need to understand the code itself to make any sense of how it works.

However, there is a youtube video which explains it from a simple mathematical standpoint, so even if you do not have the necessary coding knowledge, it is still easy to understand.

Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1HA7e3acSI
Thanks. I've always tried to explain to people how you can't beat this with tactics as you should beat math behind it. But i've always encountered people who say that i don't just get their tactic. It has annoyed me because i can't mathematically prove my point as i am not a mathematician. So i've shared wikipedia articles about gambler's fallacies and probability illusions, but they don't have time to check them out.

Now i have a video answer so maybe that fits to their attention span. I just hope that allmost 9 minute video isn't too much.
Best way to explain what you want to say is to actually learn it while saying it. This video is so packed with information about crash and the probabilistic background that powers it that I feel like if I nerd out on my gambling circle and tell them that crash is a game where you can't high roll cause you'll be stacking the odds up against you if you go frugal, explaining it on the fly will be better and I would be able to persuade some of my friends too, maybe even try the thing mid-conversation to prove my point lol.

We used to do this with the monty hall problem, as well as with minesweeper, now with crash which we don't really play that much but is interesting nonetheless we might have a very fruitful discussion.

I understand where you're coming from, I for one don't like when I feel like I'm getting ripped off especially off of my hard work, but in this scenario I think the site is just correct although I wouldn't really go so far as to deal with casinos that aren't well-received in this forum. Going back to my reasoning, there's rules and regulations imposed by every casino on every user to protect the casino's best interests and the user's safety/fairness all in all. You've never played with them for over 5 years, with your $10 deposit probably valued more than that just because it's before 2020's bull run. Plus it was imposed upon their terms and conditions which you probably didn't go so far as to give a look-see at. In this scenario the casino is correct, only thing I wish he could've done is be more polite about it instead of calling you a poor idiot lol.
1094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experience using loan money on: July 28, 2023, 07:01:47 PM
I knew that there's many topic like this in the past that asking advice about loaning for gambling. The intention of this thread is determined what's the actual feeling when you are using a loan money on gambling knowing that there's an interest rate on your borrowed money which means you already lose part of your money before you start gambling.

I saw many high rank users here that asking for loan and directly deposit the loan amount on gambling account. I want to know what's the experience on using loan money. Is there additional pressure on gameplay or just the same using regular money without an interest rate.
Some people in the forum use their gambling accounts as some form of hot-wallet to send funds and easily transfer it for use cause withdrawal and conversion is easy and streamlined for one, so just cause these people are sending money through their gambling accounts doesn't necessarily mean they'd use it for gambling, although it would make sense in the grand scheme of things if they were to use the loaned cash for gambling purposes so I understood your line of thinking. Anyhow, I don't condone taking up a loan for gambling, that's one of the worst ways to shoot yourself in the foot cause not only are you losing money once, you lose it twice.

When you take up a loan, you're stealing money from your future self. That's already one good reason why you shouldn't take up a loan in the first place, now, when you use that money to gamble it's a way worse thing cause now not only are you stealing money from yourself, you're also burning it without a worry. So don't take up a loan guys, at the very least you'd end up with an empty pocket that can't be filled easily cause you'd have to pay the one you're indebted with, worst you might get into bigger trouble especially if you took up loans from shady dealings.
1095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 5 Bitcoins to never gamble again. Will you take it? on: July 27, 2023, 11:41:48 PM
No matter how skillful or strategic in gambling you can't make up to 5btc in the space of 1 year through gambling, in the world of gambling there are very few punters that would say they've come close to getting such amount in the space of one year, so I wonder why someone would decide to reject such an offer, if I'm given such an offer I'll quit gambling and invest my money in other valuable commodities like investing in Gold, petroleum or even investing real estate and if possible owning my own gambling platform.

That's true mate, for how long will it take a gambler to have the opportunity of making upto that amount of money, gambling is what we do without having certainty on either winning or not whereby when you're given the opportunity to rece 5btc just like that, no body in his right thinking mind will not accept the offer of bitcoin over gambling since gambling is all about making money and we've already received the offer of having money without the stress and risk to gamble.
Shit never mind earning 5 btc in a single year, most of us here truth be told no matter how high roller would never get as much as 5 bitcoin in their whole gambling lifetimes. And that's with all factors included so if we're being realistic here the amount of things you can do with 5 btc beyond just the simple monetary gain is already astounding especially if you're living in third world countries where price of stuff isn't that high compared to world standards. I get why some people may choose gambling over money, it's their choice and I respect that but it doesn't mean I agree with it or that I "understand" why they chose so lol. The point of some for gambling is to chase money anyway, and then the moment they were given a choice between money and gambling they chose gambling, what a bunch of losers.
1096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Confident Are You In The Reliability of the KYC system on: July 27, 2023, 11:20:52 PM
When I heard there's a gambler don't want to gamble because of KYC reason, I feel it's completely bullshit. Even you're play in no KYC casino, the site already record your IP address, your device specification etc. Maybe you only gamble for small amount money and think, the casino will not ask your KYC, but when you win big amount of money and they ask your KYC, you will choose to give your KYC.
And in light of this gamblers need to avoid suspicious casinos without a reputation that offers them the ability to gamble without KYC, as if they happen to win big then they will be asked to pass that verification anyway, without any guarantee they will receive their withdrawal, in that case it is better to gamble at a reputable casino and accept the fact that at some point we will have to verify our account anyway, but at least on the case we were lucky we will be sure we will receive what it is owed to us.

this is why before you create an account to any of these casinos or bookies, make sure they have pretty good reputation in this industry. because if you will be a loyal patron, you are also preparing yourself to trust your funds to the site. and if their terms state that you need to undergo kyc for whatever reason they deem necessary, you should also prepare for that. so if you are complying with their kyc, better be honest with your details the first time you register your account so you won't have any issues later on.
Exactly. While I understand the hesitation and sometimes outright reluctance to provide information thanks to these goddamn ad agencies using your data to target ads to you and perhaps even steal your information for more money, it's also established that KYC is something that will be a staple in this industry moving forward, and it's not like the process is arduous for the user especially when it's literally just typing your information and then providing some proof of identification which doesn't take a minute to take a picture of, all for a guarantee that you're in a trustworthy casino that's not going to screw you over your money. I know we're all gamblers out here but it's literally the last thing you should play with as a gambler.

I would agree with most of the points in your read except for one: Licenses. While in the past they certainly held some value as licenses require rigorous registration and authorization processes before you could even get signed with a reputable gambling license provider like Curacao, nowadays they're cash grabs that do not hold up to what they stand for anymore cause most of them aren't even that hard to work with. You could literally just pay your way into a license and then voila, you're now a "reputable" casino. In my opinion this is bad as it could be abused by scam sites and fake casinos to make their unwitting users think that they are trustworthy, and then from there consider your money stolen.

There are better ways to choose the right casino for you, as it stands today however, looking for a licensed one may seem like a hit-or-miss idea really.

gambling license is just one factor to look at. but if you will seriously play on a casino, always check for their actual reputation in the community by checking legit reviews and feedbacks. lucky if you know this forum as you can already have a very comprehensive source of which casinos and bookies are trustworthy and worth your money just by looking at their trust summary and reading their respective threads in the forum. there are also couple of review sites that are also maintained by members of this forum.
Took the words right out of my mouth brother. Player recommendation is the best replacement for "licensing" really as it guarantees that a site is not only reputable, it's also fun to play with. Although checking this forum every now and again to find out which casinos are reputable or not isn't so bad either in my opinion. All in all it boils down to finding the right casino by means of looking for those that the people is trusting. Don't take any chances with this one as it's better to be in a casino that is reputable with no bonuses and perks instead of getting reeled to play in a shady casino with lots of bonuses and perks and then by the time you withdraw your stuff you're blocked and your account is banned for some reason.

Even if it's only a white label, it doesn't make a difference because, in that scenario, Megapari is simply a front, and all the crucial operations are handled by 1xBET behind the scenes. It's basically just another 1xbit/22bet/Adkinsbet/Kawbet/Melbet/Pnxbet... case all over again.

I've used Megapari once and I lost everything so I haven't had any bad experience with them yet.

1xBET, 22Bet, and Melbet are the most popular bookmakers in my region, and I've used all of them without issue. I currently have two tickets running on the 1Xbet. I've been using these stated bookmakers for a long time with no problems.

These bookies are tightly regulated in my region; they have heard offices and the most of their employees are locals. These bookmakers are advertised on the TV stations on a daily basis.

What am I missing...
1xbet and 1xbit apparently came from the same company. With 1xbit being the illegal derivative as it doesn't operate under a license and is stuck in a deep cesspool of scam reports from people within and outside this forum. If you're not having problems with 1xbet, good for you but 9 times out of 10 people will have and had issues with 1xbit and how they operate their business. Plus there had been reports in the past of people who had withdrawal and account banning issues with 1xbet too, so I guess this is just something that they do on a regular basis to scam people off of their hard-earned money. So yeah with mixed reviews between these two sites and a massive problem that they still aren't able to solve I wouldn't trust these two with my money even if my life depended on it.

Just ask for direct assistance in their announcement thread here:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2072589.0, that's the only way you could get a definitive answer from your question. You could also just use another provably fair tester along with the ones that they sanctioned just so you'd have the peace of mind that they are not screwing you over. As for mines, I don't really know if such a feature exists since those games are randomized at best although you can try scouring the internet for answers for that. At the end of the day we can guarantee that your doubts over the validity of odds in stake are understandable and fine, but would be clarified once you find the proper answers you're looking for.
