2061  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: China crackdown against gambling streaming on: August 30, 2023, 04:22:21 AM

They have been banning casinos and gambling sites in their country for as long as I can remember. Took them a long time to also crack down on the advertisers of casinos, it should have been done a long time ago.

But this crackdown is just in their country so I don't see this going to affect crypto casino's revenue nor players. Those Chinese gamblers who are already playing in Bitcoin casinos know well enough to avoid getting caught.

So if Chinese gamblers continue to gamble on online platforms (using VPN or whatever methods) and if the casino operator in China also continues their business the direct effect of these restrictions only be on the gambling steamers  Huh

I guess the main purpose of this ban was to stop people from gambling, as when people will not see gambling streams they may not be tempted to gamble, but here it seems that the Chinese government is targeting the wrong audience and only the gamblers streamers are going to suffer and they are being at the edge of starving and getting hanged.

2062  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos Should Also Be Prepared For Health Emergencies on: August 30, 2023, 04:00:01 AM
This happened in 2022 and although I do not know the outcome of the court case, my thoughts are that the discussion about casinos should go beyond security measures to cover how prepared they are in the event of a health emergency . I think that well-equipped First Aid Kit and trained paramedical staff could significantly contribute to ensuring the safety and well-being of casino patrons. Although casinos are primarily places where people go for entertainment and profit, the operators should put in place health emergency measures could potentially mitigate the impact of unforeseen events. On the other hand, I would argue that the family of the deceased is trying to obtain money from the casino. Do you think the casino is to be blamed?

This is really a sad incident.  Sad
I do not know who is right or wrong in this incident but the people who can't control their emotions and who feel a lot of tension about losing on gambling or being treated in a wrong way, they should not play gambling.

Gambling is made for those who have big hearts and strong minds and who are able to absorb the pressure of the game, the pressure of a loss. Gambling is not designed for weak-hearted persons.

I have seen people faint upon having lost in the casino but this story of a deceased person is a new one for me.
2063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 30, 2023, 03:06:21 AM
Disappointment and surprises are the part of the game. And in the cricket game we mostly saw these kind of things. But today's match is showing the total favor of Pakistan. But Nepal will also try to show its power but we can't expect more. Because Pakistani team has a good Squad which already been shown its power against Afghanistan. By the way fully excited to watch the first Asia Cup match. Smiley

At least Nepal should be happy that they are getting a chance to play against two of the top ODI teams. Asia Cup remains the only continental cup in cricket. None of the other continents have anything similar. I would have liked the ACC to add two more teams to the tournament. But then that would mean useless matches involving mercenary teams such as the United Arab Emirates and Oman, who doesn't have a single national playing for them. At least in case of Nepal, all of their players are citizens of that country.

The reason why we only have Asia cup and not other continental cups because there are not many major teams in other continents. If we have European cup then only England will win always as there is no 2nd team of same level. The Australian Cup will be only between NZ and Australia and we cannot call it a continental series.

However, in Asia, we have India and Pakistan, the two strongest teams but at the same time we have Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Srilanka which are also competitive teams.

2064  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet - account closure request not satisfacted on: August 29, 2023, 05:57:32 PM
Now OP claims the casino wasn't trying to help him maintain addiction.

I'd call the complaint is baseless and OP will not get any support from the community and the casino.
The only thing this conversation proves is that Cloudbet's support is active and reacting to customer's requests.

Other than claiming this baseless wish, he also wants some refunds.
My goal is to have the deposits made after my account be reopened, refunded.
He did not mentioned whether he played after the account was reopened ?

Edit:
Wait, is a casino supposed to close an account with funds in it without first asking the user of the accounts to withdraw his funds?
This is a bit confusing though, and funny at the same time, funny in the sense that when he had no money in his account, he requested that the account be permanently closed, but cloudbet partially closed the account, op later on his own requested that the account be reopened hoping it can't be reopened since it was permanently closed, but cloudbet will open the account, op then went ahead to deposit money into the account, then contacted customer care to question why they will reopened the account when he asked that it be permanently closed, now cloudbet decided to permanently close the account as op requested, but this time with funds in the account, isn't this funny ? 🤣🤣..

Someone please explain to my understanding just in case I made a mistake, or fail to get something correctly .

But why OP deposited again ? It is purely wrong on the OP part as he is addicted to gambling and he does not know what exactly he is doing.
Remember account was reopened by the OP will and money was deposited by the OP himself. No one forced him.
2065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 29, 2023, 05:42:09 PM
Alright people. It's Asia Cup time. It's good to see several new teams in this edition who could actually compete with the top dogs. As usual, India + Lanka + Pak are the strongest, but I hope that there are some unexpected twists.
Am expecting Sri Lanka to win this edition which is an extremely early prediction. Whoever wins will have a great advantage in the upcoming WC.
In my view, the possibility is very low for Sri Lanka to win the Asia cup again in this year. Both Pakistan and India are strong, and I'm expecting one of them to win the Asia cup. Nepal is the only new team in this Asia cup. Hong Kong was the new team in the 2022. They were in the same group of India and Pakistan, and the new team Nepal has replaced them. I believe Nepal will loss the both matches with big margin.
It is foolish to make predictions before the game starts. It is true that Nepal is a bit weaker than all the other teams. But it would not be right to consider Nepal as such an insignificant team. You may have noticed the matches of Nepal team, Nepal plays much better now than before. So without watching this year's Asia Cup game. It is not possible to say by how much margin Nepal team will win or lose. Now when the Asia Cup starts, it will be understood how well any team can play
Pakistan and India are two of the top ODI teams in ODI cricket whereas Nepal is one of the bottom ODI cricket team so the difference will be that everyone is expecting Nepal to go out of the tournament without winning a match. If it was a T20 tournament then Nepal had some chance to win but since it is played in ODI format it is very difficult for Nepal to win against India or Pakistan. It is very difficult but impossible for Nepal to win against India and Pakistan, but if Nepal performs well and if India or Pakistan do not play at their best, then Nepal will definitely have a chance to win any of the Asia Cup matches. Even if Nepal can't win a match, Nepal fans will be happy with Nepal's performance because Nepal has performed well recently and they have been doing great in cricket recently.

The first match of the Asia cup between Pakistan and Nepal and I do not see any upset being happening at the start of the series. Pakistan should easily won this match and we can bet on it. I just checked the stake to see the odds for this match and was disappointed to see the odds of 1.01 for the Pakistan win. It is not worth taking the risk.

Also, do not take the risk on Nepal's 12.50 odds either. Nepal will not be able to win this one.

<snip]
This can be compared to money in the stock market or the cryptocurrency market, when stocks, or rather altcoins, flew up and you earned a lot of money. So with such a profit, you must definitely take a large part for your life and spend it. It is to spend, because if you don't, then the money that you withdrawn, you can make a deposit again.
-
I honestly do not get what you were trying to say with this one. I cannot understand how does gambling (specifically lottery)is related or comparable to stock and crypto markets. I mean, yes, they both involve risks, however, I really cannot think of each characters that are alike.
Perhaps he is comparing money in the stock market or the crypto market where when we get profit, the profit can be like when we win in the lottery. But that's clearly different because when we play the lottery, there is money that is lost because we can't win, and we have to accept it even though there are still many people who will buy lottery tickets. It's because they still have the hope of winning one day.

Meanwhile, in the crypto market, they can get their profit back if they keep holding the coin while waiting for the market to reverse so that the coin's price will increase again.

But there is something in common between the two: if we cannot manage the winning money from gambling or profits from trading in the crypto market, we cannot change our lives for the better. We will use the money for things we don't really need.

Well, people who win big money unexpectedly, they usually become greedy and will try to invest in other things like trading or perhaps going more gambling and may lose all the money. The best thing is to keep the money saved for some time and not further risk it.

Yes, you can fulfil your desires, and spend on eating, and outing but do not invest in risky markets. Better they should get some information from their close family and friends and then make wise decisions. Remember it does not take long to lose all the lottery money if we make the wrong decision and re-invest our money in the wrong places.

2067  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: August 29, 2023, 04:43:05 PM
Maybe those who rarely gamble can have a strong desire to stop gambling, especially after they know what impact they get from gambling. But usually, the impact of this gambling will make them return to gambling even though they want to stop it. It is a dilemma that each person must be able to resolve.

The fact is that in life there are different situations with people who are able to change people very much internally. For example, tragedies, or mistakes that those are no longer able to fix. And such deplorable internal states will stop pushing people to not quite deliberate actions or to a rash lifestyle. And if such a person visits the casino, but will play regardless of the chances or the concept of money management. It is especially difficult for such people to give up the uncontrollable desire to play. Because the root cause lies in themselves, in the events of the past. And gambling is a kind of answer to any problem, because they can bring a lot of money. And money is needed by any person in any condition.
Exactly the way it can bring alot money that's the same it can also collect alot of money from you. If such person enter into gambling I aslo agree that the ability for him to stop will be very hard and he might be insink to such habit making his current situation even worst than before. It's actually kinda hard trying to stop this habit especially those of us that lack control and discipline because it's just as similar with same as taking illicit drugs for self pleasure once it's sinked can't stop.

Again, quitting gambling is not impossible at all but it requires only one thing, that is the individual will to stop gambling. Unless you have a will to stop from your inner self, you will not be able to achieve it. No other person can make you leave gambling.

Now the question is whether it is easy or difficult for the gambler to quit gambling. If the person has control over himself, then he would be able to do so. But the problem is that gamblers do not have control over their mind, so that's why they are gambling addicts. So this gives us the conclusion that it is indeed hard to quit gambling.

I suffer from Gambling addiction and I requested my Cloudbet account to be Permanently Closed.
It was closed indeed but two days later, due to my addiction I requested to have my account reopened, and it was reopened immediatly.
.....
My goal is to have the deposits made after my account be reopened, refunded.


I am a bit confused on reading your whole story. At one point of time you asked them to close the account and then you requested them to reopen and they reopened it. So is there any issue with it ?

Now what do you want ? The deposit which you made after the reopening of account to be refunded ? Did you play at the casino after reopening and lost the amount/bets ? Or you did not play and the deposit are still there in your account ?
2069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Glitches still affects online casinos? Or it's the casinos that sucks on: August 29, 2023, 04:00:46 PM
I don't know if anyone have come across such fate when gambling online before, imagine playing a game and the game start freezing after few successful trials, the game just crashes on you and you lose money? Anyone?

Now who is to blame for this? The casino or your internet connection or something else? I've asked this on Twitter and some said it's technical glitches, that's acceptable, but if this costs you some money, all because of technical glitches who is responsible for your loss? What will you do about this?

It's a shame that technical glitches and server errors still happen on some online casinos, games that aren't even graphically intense, they aren't even using lots of data resources to run e.g upload and download speed.

This doesn't happen to me but my very close friend and he is at a loss because of it, im just wondering what I would have done if it happened to me?

You need to see if the fault is at the casino's end or at your own end. Sometimes we have a slow internet connection and the game stucks while we are playing and later we blame the casino. We usually experience this in the crash games as there we need to be quick and smart to end the game before the crash.

If the issue is at the casino end, you should talk to their support and ask them to refund your money if any, if you lost it because of the game freeze. In case, they do not respond, then it is time to change the casino and play elsewhere.

I had some scenarios of my stop loss being pushed down a little bit incurring  me more loss what could be the possibilities.

Depending on your trade plan you should not move the stop loss below because it will further increase your risk if the market move on against your trade plan. In most cases you will keep the stop loss as it is,  in case the market move against you.  You will incur the loss and get out of the market.

If you want to dollar cost average your future trade then it should be a part of your plan before you initiate the trade. Stick to your plan and you will be safe from big losses.
2073  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: August 28, 2023, 05:38:40 PM

There are still some things to consider before sharing with loved ones. They need to understand you and the concept of gambling. You can not argue with someone about something that they don't know. Those who know about it, only they can give you the best advice. We easily get influenced by news and everything that is happening around us. We only hear about negative things about gambling in the news. Only the negative ones make the big news. So their first thought will be, it's a bad thing.
If you are able to control your emotions and gamble responsibly, those around you will put a negative effect. So after telling them the whole thing, it is important to explain what gambling is and how far you have gone. Enjoy with everyone. Happiness increases only when shared.

If you want to share your friends about the gambling the most important one is you need to know they will get addicted or not.The gambling had both positive and negative things,the positive one is you can get some stress reduction because of the gambling.The negative one considered in the gambling is addiction,the addiction is hard to over come in short period of time.The gambler should not consider the gambling as the negative one.The thought process is most important one in the gambling.

I won't mind telling others that I am a gambler and I often spend my time on online gambling. But I tell this information only to those friends who know me well and they have no objection on gambling.

Other people who do not encourage gambling or they do not like gambling , better not tell them about my this habit because they will create an necessary comments and will only disturb me and nothing else. No harm in hidding that you are a gambler from these people.
2074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A weird belief among some gamblers. on: August 28, 2023, 04:28:14 PM
^

We also used this strategy when we had the opportunity to gamble in land-based casinos. Now I have the opportunity to gamble only online, so this strategy is no longer relevant. In fact, using this strategy can really increase the chances of winning, at least we managed to win several times almost immediately after the previous gambler got up from behind the slot machine.

It is a real strategy funny enough. Perhaps in the online slots, you'd find the highest RTP game and play it till feature, change games then play till feature again and swap

Don't take my word it though, gamble responsibly! Smiley

I think people (gamblers) are too serious in the matter of strategy, they strongly believe that it will increase their chances of winning, but I would ask is it true? honestly I don't really believe in the various strategies they use to play gambling, I've tried it several times but still it has absolutely no effect and all will return to the basic concept of gambling which is just about luck. And also for the RTP itself, well I am one of the gamblers who always pay attention to the RTP percentage before playing, if the RTP is high then I will enter the game and vice versa. But I say don't trust RTP too much, because it's not uncommon for casinos to keep fraud there, I mean not always when RTP has a high percentage then the spin will also be good, it could be just a trick from the casino itself and I experienced it. So the bottom line for RTP is that some are accurate and some are not. But in my opinion don't rely too much on anything, gamble with the feeling you have because it's just about luck.

Do you know how many times it happens that we see a high RTP game but as soon as we enter and start playing that game, we start to lose that game?

In my gambling experience, I have come to the conclusion that no strategy, or trick works with accuracy. Some tricks may work for some gamblers for a limited time but then it is not because of the trick that they are winning the games but it is only the luck which is making them win.
2075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Still not a safe practice even if it works on: August 28, 2023, 04:09:32 PM
I have seen a few pieces of content online that are saying Stake, Fortune Jack, Casino Gap and few others are VPN-friendly.

Are users on here agreeing on these few mentioned online casino? I am asking this because I believe those who still use VPN on these casinos are not safe.

Because using a VPN is not openly acceptable by these online casinos, there is no where it's written on their website, I know readers might feel like, why would they wrote such on their website when the law isn't permitting such?

Well, what will stop them from using this against you too as a gambler? Bypassing restrictions is not the problem, but it was never allowed officially, meaning you should accept whatever will be thrown in your face.

What do you think?

Even if you keep on playing through VPN on gambling sites and not getting banned or something like that, it does not mean that you will keep on playing forever. Someday if you get caught, the gambling site will ban you and you will lose all the balance on that site.

The best approach is first to check with the gambling site if they allow VPN or not. If VPN is allowed on the gambling site then you can play using VPN else better avoid using it.
You can also get this information about VPN usage on the terms and conditions page on the casino's web site.
2076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What does it take to play casino? on: August 28, 2023, 03:34:55 PM
It must have capital Cry

However, which one should you be more dependent on when it comes to making money from the casino!

Is it really good luck for you?
Which basic technique to use?

For gambling, you need only one thing, and that is the money to gamble. Without money, you cannot think of gambling. Some gambling platforms may offer some free play but that is very limited and in most cases useless.

Once you have the money, then you need luck to win. Yes, gambling only requires luck to win, no experience counts. No matter anyone playing gambling for years can lose and anyone playing gambling on the very first day may win.

However, gamblers only need money management skills. If they have that skill, then they can surely limit their loses.
2077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 5 Steps to Manage Your Bankroll with Bitcoin Betting on: August 28, 2023, 03:26:04 AM
~
Don't casinos usually have the Bitcoin amount already converted to USD at the moment of the bet? And the fees as well. Casinos usually have an internal wallet for crypto so that each game doesn't need any transaction fees, I'd imagine the rage of casino players if each game they played required them to pay a fee. That could amount to something pretty big in the long run after all. You'd only ever bother yourself with the fees when transferring money from an external wallet over, or if buying from the casino through their promoted/hired third party crypto-fiat provider.

Also, most people gamble using trx, dogecoin or litecoin, the three most popular coins being used for gambling. Only a few people bet with btc and those who do should know the technical difference between BTC and mBTC.

From my point of view, managing the bankroll is not calculating the fees and conversion of fiat to crypto or vice versa, it is more of a way to manage your portfolio in such a way to minimize the risk involved. It is a way so that in case of a single loss, we do not lose our major bankroll. Money management is the true essence of gambling bankroll management.

It sounds to me that they're trying to work around their own beliefs which is just weird to say the least.

Yea if we look at the title alone we could say that they are misleading the public base on there belief but going through the entire video the speaker is actually making some points and it’s not encouraging gambling but rather he is advising those Muslim who already found them self in the means of gambling to not use that as an excuse of not praying because of the surrounding that they finds their self that doing that could be seen as a double sin, anyone who see any Muslim in the means of gambling should not also stop them from praying that they should allow them pray, that everything is done one step at at time, with them doing a little of good thing and praying always that they will have better chances of realizing that they are committing a great sin and are likely to change and come out of the sin over time, But discouraging them and calling them siners won’t help the matter at all, he also gave an instance of those who see people who dress half native that it’s better to advise them to dress decently than telling them to completely remove the cloth since they choose to be naked. I finds his teachings educative rather than weird.

Yes, I watched the whole video and found that the title of this video plus the thumbnail in this video does not match the content presented in the video. This is more like a clickbait title/thumbnail and there is no talk about the legit casino in this video.

The speakers say that if you are doing one bad thing, that should not force you to do many bad things. Rather he is of the point of view that one bad deed should not stop you from doing other good deeds and when you keep on doing good deeds, you will automatically be refrain from doing the bad deeds which you were doing. That's the whole concept that is being explained there.
2079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How real?That football players required to bribe before they are allowed to play on: August 27, 2023, 06:03:35 AM
I have also heard of some local stories about how some coaches require money from new footballers before they allow them on trier both in their clubs and national teams. Is this happening globally for new players who are still seeking to find a spot in clubs?

Although I do not have any proof of bribes being taken from the players before they were allowed to play for the clubs or teams, I think we cannot rule out these possibilities, especially at the club level.

Also, this bribe talking is not just from the coaches or higher management, sometimes the players themselves will be willing to give bribes in order to play for a club or team. They do this because of high competition, or else they may be left out and other players may be given a chance. These things do not come out in the media as if this information is leaked, then it will be an embarrassment both for the team and the player.
2080  Economy / Gambling discussion / China crackdown against gambling streaming on: August 27, 2023, 05:26:34 AM
China is one of the leading industries after US and the decisions they make have a global effect. For example, when they say that they will ban Bitcoin, this has a negative effect across crypto markets globally and not just China. Will this gambling ban affect the overall gambling business worldwide? That is yet to be seen.

Now that Chinese Content Platforms Reportedly Exclude Live Streaming Features, this has caused the revenue decreased in those platforms. It is obvious that if you block gambling streaming, then those people won't use that platform if they were using it previously to watch those streams.

Also, the Chinese were very keen to block the illegal gambling platforms and they also block payments in millions from those gambling casinos.
