341  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why gambling and mixing called bad actors in bitcoin on: May 05, 2023, 10:27:30 PM
From my experience and observations, I noticed both Bitcoin mixing and online gambling using Bitcoin are mostly regarded as bad actors in Bitcoin despite both being the highest Bitcoin adopters and having the largest Bitcoin volume in transactions and services.
Secondly, if Gambling and Bitcoin mixing services are called bad actors, what about centralized exchanges are they also perceived as bad actors in Bitcoin?
Mixing is considered as a bad actor for crypto because it is also being used by illegal activities, like money laundering.
While gambling, I think we all know why it is considered as bad actor for crypto, but like OP has mention this 2 played a huge part for cryptocurrency adaptation, I think there are tons of crypto investor or user because of those two.

^Definitely right.
Mixing services are often associated with illegal activities the same gambling as well, such as money laundering, and as a result, they have gained a reputation as a bad actor in cryptocurrency. Governments and regulatory bodies are understandably concerned about the potential for these services to facilitate criminal activities, and this has led to increased regulation of the crypto industry until now.
The same as gambling has long been viewed as a risky and potentially harmful activity, with many governments restricting or outright banning certain forms of gambling. The association between gambling and crypto can also make the industry seem untrustworthy or unreliable to some investors who don't understand it.

It might help someone to have an easier time making calculations but that is all this AI can bring. There is still zero chance of knowing the cards of its competitors and those that are in the deck.
^That is the laziest way and it is a kind of cheat if you easily know your opponent's card using AI.
But AI algorithms do not work that way, an AI algorithm can analyze vast amounts of data from previous poker games to identify patterns and trends that can help players make accurate decisions during gameplay and it can also develop strategies, it can be trained to develop optimal strategies for specific poker games by playing against itself or analyzing vast amounts of gameplay data.
Some poker gambling casino online poker platforms can use AI algorithms to detect bots and other forms of cheating by analyzing patterns in player behavior and identifying unusual activity, that is the use of AI I think.

Also, not every land based casinos have transparent slot-machines. It's just not possible to know accurately their RTP percentage. You have to trust the house and hope they are being fair to you. The only pros I can see on such machines is the excitement it guarantees to the gambler through shining colors, lights, eccentric design and catchy sounds. That is indeed an unique experience you aren't going to have when playing at online casinos.
Physical casinos is not that transparent when it comes to RTP percentage and yes playing slot machines is not that rewarding but of course it is more entertaining if you play on physical casinos. Increasing your chance of winning are more possible online, this is also why many are shifting already from physical casinos to online casinos, plus it is now more convenient to gamble online.
If you’re looking for more entertaining gambling experience then playing on land based casinos are more advisable, but if you’re into profit then I agree that playing online can increase your chance of winning. If you notice, casinos online are more active on their promotions and bonuses, that’s why many goes online since the pandemic started. This is a big challenge to land based casinos to inform the public about their fairness but I guess they will not do this, or else they will lose more as many will leave that casinos for being not fair with their machines.
^Still they are the same for me, online slots can offer a wider range of themes, pay lines, and bonus features than land-based slots, and may also offer higher payout percentages (RTPs) and progressive jackpots. Players can access online slots from anywhere with an internet connection, making them a convenient option for those who prefer to play from home.
The basic gameplay of land-based and online slots are similar, but there are some key differences in terms of their physicality, availability, and features. However, the choice between land-based and online slots will depend on each player's personal preferences and priorities.

345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: May 04, 2023, 10:34:03 PM
One of the factors that sky rocketed online gambling  was the covid and its lock down policy and since after the 2019 covid, the demand for online gambling  has been on the steady increase and I don't see it dropping  anytime soon.
And online casinos  are extremely  doing very well in promotions and I've seen alot of prominent celebrities endorsing a particular casino and all of a sudden, the casino records massive growth in their business which is an evident that celebrities have some good influence on casino growth.
I think one of the major reasons for the widespread  of online gambling industries  is the ease of access.
^That is exactly the reason why the rise of the online gambling industry because of the covid.
With many people confined to their homes and seeking entertainment, it is no surprise that online gambling has seen a steady increase in demand. Because it is the convenient way and ease of access that online casinos provide them an attractive option for many of us. For now, it will be interesting to see how this industry continues to evolve in the coming years.
346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: May 04, 2023, 10:15:24 PM

The game is based on luck and you know you couldn't be that lucky every day. It's not possible. If there is a strategy that would make money every day, we would all be doing it already.

This is not the kind of game that we use to play where there are numbers as clues on every block. It's pure guessing which one doesn't explode.
Gambling is a game of chance and luck, and it’s very impossible to have that luck everyday. At some point, you may win because you were lucky, but in gambling, it’s mostly you incur losses than winnings, simply because you were not lucky all the time. And strategies don’t work in gambling, that’s why never gamble a huge amount that you can’t afford to lose, otherwise your finances will sucked.
^Definitely right but as we observed there are still gamblers who do use strategies to try and increase their chances of winning. However, even with the most thought-out strategy, it is impossible to completely eliminate the element of chance. So never think this way, that gambling could be your source of income because that is impossible, in fact, the more you will spend time gambling the higher your chances of losing. Setting limits for yourself and sticking to them is a key aspect of responsible gambling. Losing money in gambling is always a possibility, but it a guarantee of entertainment.
347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: May 04, 2023, 10:05:39 PM
The problem is how you put gambling, if done only for fun in spare time is not a problem. But when gambling is done as a substitute for permanent work, this will be far more problematic and it is very difficult to control, the decision is in each of us and as much as possible avoid addiction in gambling.
Indeed, my friend. It all depends on how you interpret your gambling experiences. If you view them as something you do every day, you'll inevitably become dependent on them. Although what @lizarder said is the right course of action, if you gamble regularly, you run the risk of becoming addicted. Which, in my opinion, will result in a variety of outcomes because no one can control it any longer, especially for some young people who have no other employment options.Since they have nothing else to do besides spend what little money they have on gambling, I think that some people must be addicted to it. Once their money runs out, they may then engage in dishonest activities like scamming, robbing people of their property, or selling their own possessions.
Basically  I've seen and I know people who are full time gamblers and are doing extremely  well in it and just as you said and I agree that gambling  addiction  is solely  dependent  on the gamblers choice and not just because he gambles everyday.
One of the major reasons I think people get easier addicted in gambling  is the fact that they tend to chase after their losses and get sk carried  away and if you'll  agree with me that the act of chasing after  losses has never yielded any positive  result but mostly negative  results and possibly blowing bof account.
I think the man who wanted to kidnap his granddaughter  should be taken for a mental check up  to know what actually is wrong with him rather than just making  conclusions.
^Definitely right, chasing losses is indeed a common trap that many gamblers fall into, and it is probably already aware of this behavior in order to prevent it from leading to negative results such as a blown account or even addiction. When there is someone who commits a crime because of gambling addiction, it is certainly concerning behavior and could potentially indicate underlying mental health issues. It's important for him to receive a proper evaluation to determine the root cause of his actions, rather than making assumptions or jumping to conclusions.
348  Economy / Gambling / Re: Can we trust 3rd party Slot providers? on: May 04, 2023, 09:58:16 PM
My question is.... can we trust these 3rd party Slot providers? Who are auditing their games and who are checking if the advertised RTP are being configured on their servers?

In the first place, what choice do we have? And I don't think "trust" should be the keyword here.
^Trust + provably fair system would be the answer.
When it comes to trusting third-party slot providers in online casinos, consider having your own research and choosing a reputable casino that has been licensed and regulated by a reputable authority. For me, it should be the RTP is typically calculated based on a theoretical simulation that assumes a number of spins. This means that the actual RTP that a player experiences over a smaller number of spins may differ from the theoretical RTP, and there may be variance in the short term.
349  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Did I can make platform without KYC verification on: May 03, 2023, 10:23:19 PM
The reason of making Bitcoin in the first time is decentralized money and make P2P safely but now we can see many platform start controlling this crypto currency by KYC .
My question is can we make platform that can we verify account by deposit only .
Account have two wallet one of crypto and other with real money he can swap and withdrawal money or crypto anytime
I think you can do the platform without kyc the question is, How people trust it or how people think that it is safe, maybe there are a lot of people that did not trust it or did not use it because kyc is the most common factor to gain trust as we can see almost all wallet even crypto exchange need kyc to deposit or withdraw funds to avoid scammer.
^The number one problem that you will probably face is that trust.
So the reason why those companies that are related to financial institutions choose to be centralized and regulated by the government.
If your platform involves financial transactions, such as receiving or sending payments, it is probably the best way to implement some form of identity verification to comply with financial regulations and prevent fraud, this is how people will trust the platform especially if it is new, the assurance of the platform.
350  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can we help to Bitcoin education? on: May 03, 2023, 10:04:18 PM
In my opinion,  it is a bright idea to publish online lessons and courses on internet specifically on popular forums such as Reddit and Medium and of course Bitcointalk and create simple Tuto videos on youtube. In addition to that, we should attract youth due to Bitcoin’s future will be dependent by them. In conclusion, the more we spread Bitcoin education, the bigger community we entice. By the way, it would be better if we let only expert Bitcoiners to teach the beginners and youth, if you’re are not capable to do this task, there is no need to publish lessons or anything related to Bitcoin.
Publishing lessons on the internet helps a lot people to learn about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. People nowadays spends a lot of time on digital devices and learns from online courses. Also bitcoin is not legalized by many countries so online course is go to choice for bitcoin education.

Though there are a lot of educational articles and videos about bitcoin but you can also write or document case study of bitcoin related projects.
^Definitely right, it is very easy to learn now using the internet.
We have Google to answer your question when you are confused about BTC, the problem with people who did not aware is how to engage and get their interest in BTC. Most people now have more fun on social media which is also what I think to help to promote BTC is to create a short video clip that people trigger their interest in BTC.
351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Questions of the day for gamblers on: May 02, 2023, 10:05:57 PM
If a online casino claims to be a decentralized platform does this mean that their games are fully decentralized too?

Do you guys know that some casinos regulates their own slots machines themselves, can you gamble with ease of mind on such casinos?

If slots games is all you are good at, are you really good at it or you are just lucky? Can you use the word 'good at it' with slots game?

What is the most convenient games you play on gambling platforms?

Is using leverage about luck or skills? Or even a rigged game?
^If an online casino claims to be a decentralized platform, it typically means that its operations and transactions are decentralized, but it does not necessarily mean that its games are fully decentralized. However, some decentralized casinos do exist that offer fully decentralized games. It is good to research the specific casino and its games to fully understand the extent of decentralization. A reputable casino should be trusted by the community, and reputable casinos will usually have their games audited by third-party companies to ensure fairness and transparency. This can provide peace of mind when gambling with them. The most convenient games are those has a real RNG and also have a provably fair game.
352  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why Opening an Account in a Bitcoin Sportsbook is the Future of Sports Betting on: May 02, 2023, 09:43:32 PM

You won't need to convince anyone to register an account on Crypto bookies especially if you post it in this forum. The question is if the Sportsbook can be trusted.

In fairness to this marketing guy of Nitro betting casino, He is still following the forum rules by not promoting the specific casino he came from and just use a recycled gambling facts to attract user on engaging the topic for his name visibility which in this case the casino itself. This is almost a perfect plan for marketing if he only wears signature code and engage with the discussion of the community to prolong the activity here rather than opening separate topic every week with same purpose of describing the advantage of bitcoin sportsbook.
^Or probably the OP wanted only to share his thought about sportsbooks using BTC. If OP aggressively wanted to promote his gambling casino for sure he wear also a signature under his profile but he is not. He is talking in general about the sportsbook and does not mention any name on it. We have here different sportsbooks to use which we prefer. But if he is repeatedly posting the same topic, that is spamming and should be against the forum rules.
353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The psychology of betting..... on: May 01, 2023, 10:17:54 PM
People always talk about strategy in gamble but I disagree because bet does not have strategy because the more you think you know the more you fail, even when you consistently play a particular odd that favours you one day you will get the greatest shock in the game because it will fail.

if you are betting on luck-based games, there's no known strategy that can indeed guarantee your winnings. but you can work with some of the popular ones like martingale, however, you also have no way in knowing when will luck will hit you. so yeah, games of chance, don't expect you will go home as a winner.
people should accept the fact that when in gambling, always use your spare money, otherwise you are subjecting yourself to getting rekt if you will use your money for your bills or for your food.
^ No, it seems like a wrong perception which I don't agree with.
Gambling is a form of entertainment that should be approached with caution and with the understanding that it is primarily a game of chance. While some strategies may increase your chances of winning, there is no foolproof method that guarantees success. It is always important to gamble responsibly and only use money that you can afford to lose. Using your spare money ensures that you won't put yourself in financial jeopardy, which is crucial when it comes to gambling. Remember, the goal of gambling should be to have fun and enjoy the experience, not to make a profit.
354  Economy / Gambling / Re: Crypto Gambling OK HASH on: May 01, 2023, 10:11:14 PM


No TOS for this casino but I like it that it has an internal exchange where you can trade inside. I can only assume there will also be no KYC in this casino.

It is however hard to trust because this is new. They will need to gain trust and if they are willing to do it, they should be doing campaigns in the forum.
I agree with you. Yes as we are new platform we don't have any trust at the moment but I believe time will tell. Thanks for your advice.
^But TOS is very important because that is a term that most gamblers need to follow.
Without clear terms or TOS, customers may be unsure about the rules and regulations of the casino. This can lead to confusion, misunderstandings, and disputes. Now how can you gain trust if no clear rules and regulations, casinos may be able to treat customers unfairly or arbitrarily and this can lead to complaints, bad reviews, and a damaged reputation.
Because for me, having clear and transparent terms and TOS is very important for any gambling casino to operate responsibly and ethically. It helps to establish trust with customers, protect the casino from legal issues, and ensure fair and consistent treatment for all.

Withdrawals are very slow. Made one 7 hours ago and it is still not processed. You should make your withdrawal process faster.

Hello, check your wallet a couple of hours ago we finished all pending payouts, I hope you liked the site Smiley
^Usually, how long is the withdrawal process to be completed?
Most gamblers like to have faster or quickly withdrawal but at least it was less than 24 hours which is not bad at all.
By the way, a good thing to know that your gambling casino is VPN friendly as you suggest users above use VPN. That is a cool website that probably people will adopt. Just one more question, I have been here in the forum for how many years and I have witnessed many gambling casinos that start without asking for KYC but as years passed they have changed and ask KYC.
356  Economy / Gambling / Re: Looking for the best tipsters in the world on: April 29, 2023, 09:41:58 PM
If a tipster would earn a living himself through his bets, I don't think he would bother sharing them with anybody considering the fact that he may lose the extra odds he gets when he bets alone v/s when he tells others to place the same bet and increases the number of bets on the same selection which decreases the odds. I don't think there is anybody whom I can call a perfect tipster. All tipsters use disclaimers and say that whatever they share, it's their opinion and if we lose, it's our choice to follow their opinion and then it's lost and they are not responsible for that. So don't waste your time finding a perfect tipster, rather go research yourself and place bets and if you don't think you can do that, my personal advice is to leave gambling.
^Definitely right and that is true.
In the first place, if they are sure of their prediction why not place a bet if they surely know they will win?
So they are an unreliable source even though there are some reputable and knowledgeable tipsters who provide valuable insights and analysis, there are also many who are unreliable and provide inaccurate tips so we should be careful if someone offering this kind of service. It could be there is a chance that they will milking you in terms of money.
357  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Day trading is perfect work for jobless peoples on: April 29, 2023, 09:28:04 PM
It sounds like, OP is too optimistic as well as self perception person! But what I've learn about trade is, "Its the most difficult thing in the world." trading all the day without doing job/business aside is very risky. Cause if somehow you loss your large capital, then situation could be difficult. Trying to regain those, could make you more loss. There is nobody who didn’t face loss! But It'll be another subject of discussion if you already reach the peck of mountain
in the world of trading, you can lose your money if you are not careful. even though this is a job that has the potential to improve one's economy, many people forget about the risks of trading.
yes, trading might be very profitable full time, but I think the unemployed also need income from elsewhere just in case they don't succeed in trading. well, many people are successful in trading and succeed, but many are not. I'm just worried that the unemployed will be even more stressed if he doesn't have the skills and experience in trading as his main job later.

They need to have a backup fund while investing, there's no guarantee that they will always have a winning trade, I see your point and I agree that the chance to improve your financial status can be done by using this venue of investment, but also not to forget about the risk that you need to take care as there's always a missed interpretation in this business.

Trading both short or long term is profitable to those who know how to manage their finances and how to anticipate the movement of the market.

Without the knowledge, even you have a whole time to trade, you will still suffer losing your initial investment.
^Stable source of income is very important to us and even for me, I will not risk my lifestyle by relying on an unstable source of income.
But if I were you, it may be wise for the unemployed to explore other sources of income while they work on building their trading skills and experience. This could include taking on part-time work or freelancing, or even investing in themselves by pursuing education or training in a field that interests them. Because on my own, is good to have a backup plan and to be prepared for any potential challenges or setbacks along the way. So find a stable job that gives a stable source of income and trading could be your alternative source of income.

Although I'm living primarily offgrid, I'm still a member of conventional society, and utilise thosed facilities that are useful to me. I'm monitoring the current banking changes, and hoping to increase my use of Bitcoin.

As an individual residing in a van, what power source do you depend on for mining?

I am right here because using a generator will probably be too loud upon using it but probably it is a generator too.
It is great to see that you are exploring new options and considering how to live more sustainably and independently which is called offgrid. I now start wondering how you will able to survive that kind of lifestyle. It should be you have a backup plan for your resources.

359  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is a web3 casino for you? on: April 29, 2023, 09:01:17 PM
A decentralized casino and a centralized casino without a license are basically operating the same way, without paying any taxes and running off the radar and that is the reason why usually see authorities hunting down some casinos that are unregistered and unregulated, so decentralized casinos are probably going to get targeted too.

You make a valid point. However, there is one key difference between decentralized and centralized casinos that should not be overlooked. Decentralized casinos operate on blockchain technology, which provides an added layer of security.

Therefore, the authorities will have a much harder time hunting them or shut them down. The operators of these casinos can easily move their servers to a new location and continue operations as usual. This is not something that traditional casinos can do.
You are absolutely correct, shutting down a decentralized casino can only be possible if the entire blockchain which the casino is built upon is shut down, and shutting down a blockchain, like we know so far is close to impossible, if it was, I believe the government, due to their hate for bitcoin, would have moved to shutting down the bitcoin blockchain.

Regulators can only succeed in shutting down a casino built on the blockchain, only if the casino is not a completely decentralized casino, like we've seen with some casinos, claiming to be web 3 based, where as in real sense, they are just web 3 like, not web 3 based.
^That is definitely right, it may be hard for them to hunt down because they are decentralized and operate on the blockchain which means that the casinos operate on a decentralized network, and the games and transactions are executed on a distributed network of nodes and servers, rather than on a centralized server. But they still operate within the legal process of the jurisdiction in which they are based. As with any other type of gambling operation. Web3 casinos are still subject to legal and regulatory processes, which can limit their ability to move their operations to a new location. Many jurisdictions have laws that prohibit or regulate online gambling, and operators must comply with these laws if they want to avoid legal penalties or regulatory action.

However, it is commendable that you took the time to educate your friend and provide resources for him to learn more. And, it is up to each individual to weigh the risks and benefits of trading and make their own brilliant decision.
