Dude, I know that you're entitled to get some treatment like having a bonus or what. A casino that has huge wagers/bettors will always be taken care of by them.
If you're complaining that they haven't given you the same money as your friends that don't bet a lot, that's not a problem. Because you can just treat yourself with that amount of money you're gambling on them. So, instead of having that day to gamble with huge sums of money, allocate it to yourself and prove that you deserve such money even if it's not from them. In that case, it will ease the disappointment that you've got just because that you were never given the same bonus.

It's not the money. A few hundred dollars won't make a difference to my life. It's the fact that I bet more in one week then most people do in a year and they don't appreciate loyalty. It's funny because when I changed to a different sportsbook a few years ago they lured me back by offering a lot of bonuses and then stopped them once they thought I would stay. I won't be staying this time, they can go to hell.
That's the best return you can give to them, if you think that you're underappreciated then you can just leave them and let them feel that you're no longer active unlike before.
Yeah, it may not be about the money but the feeling that you're given special treatment because you wage huge onto their platform. But, if you think that they're not reciprocating just as what you're doing, that's the best thing to do and that's to leave and find somewhere else where you think you're treated well.

Riki is the new meta it seems! It's been so damn long for this hero to finally shine again and this patch , if you have time in weekend to play a game with Riki , please do , it's mega fun! No wonder why , even Tundra has strategies involving Riki and they turned the game around in their favor last night , as they were down 1-0 , picked Riki twice and won by 2-1.
Yeah, that sleeping dart is a sure disable for the target although it's only targeting one hero but it's very helpful. I've done the new meta and it's really fun to use as a support. I've first seen this used by Q I think on the opening of the first games for the SEA DPC season.

Knights vs Aries should be a great game CN DPC Winter that is about to begin in aprox 1 hour.
It's live now, Aries has to win this series as they're one of the bottom two in the score board.

How ICOs affected the market of exchanges?
It's already 6-7 years have passed since the domination of the ICOs in the market and it has really affected the entire market. It's given the exchanges that they can crowdfund through ICO and that's what the majority of the exchanges that has tokens did. Those that became popular during that time, many of those projects are likely the ones that are still remaining in the market today.
The perspective of investors has changed a lot with ICOs and it's like anything you invest in the ICOs market during that time, it's most likely going to be successful no matter what the project is. And good thing that it has come to an end because the bubble was pretty much obvious.

No problem.  Wink
I've just thought that it may not be refunded for some since it's likely that the winning might already be sent and spent by those who have received it.
But it should have been voided earlier in the first place if there are bookies that are aware of it but I guess, they can't adjust too quick when it's on the process and investigation on it.

 I am not aware of the cheating but if the dispute was filed after the game, then bookies have no control over it. Normally, online bookies instantly send payments to the winners so even if PSG filed a complaint and proved, the payment was already paid. I do not think the bookies will return any money. It is what it is for now. Let's hope there is no more cheating done. There is so many cheatings done this season. This season even opened with a series of bans.
I doubt that there will be no more cheating that's going to exist. Despite of the issue, still, the team Knights managed to still have a match and they won against XG.
These players are the caliber of division 1 yet they still have been detected of cheating and, with the proper investigation ongoing, they'd still be given a chance to compete. I don't know how it's going right now but if proven to be guilty, they should have given the verdict of disqualification.

I guess a lot of people around here were shorting the market...
Nope, not me. I'm still holding and still applying the lesson I've learned for the past years in the market.

Mine is Optimism. 55.5 %   Grin
Jumped all the way to 4th place in my top holdings.
Good for you, is that the one that came from the airdrop? Mine, none other than bitcoin. So, calculate how much the percentage on it and I only look at the price of it.
So basically, from $16k up to $20,800.  Cool
That's a great gain for me so far within less than a month.

Right and was also saying that sometimes there are high wagering requirements which can be problem for small gamblers but this 1x is not so big and free choice of gamble is also good for players so they can wager on the game they like unlike some restricted zone which is not appreciated by many.So this is advantage situation for us.
The high wagering requirements for most promos are only for those gamblers with such funds and also typical joiners of contests in many casinos.
And if it's just x1 of the wager then it's affordable for everybody and that's the target of that promo, to make everyone participate in it. But if it eventually changes to high requirement, there's also the targeted and specific customers that they're targeting because it also includes bigger pot on the side.

I've read that it was an official cheat and Perfect World has also sent the accusation to Valve for which the action will be heavier and taken more seriously.
They're never scared of the sanction and it will cost them their entire career. I can remember the Malaysian team(arrow gaming) and players that have been involved in a match-fixing. They were very promising during that time but ended up too soon when they got involved in the issue and now, they can just join those mini tournaments that are not managed by Valve and other big organizers.
That is some serious stuff. Thank you @ralle14 & passwordnow for the info on this news on the DOTA2 match fixing accusation on team knights.
Just hope all who bet on PSG-LGD got their betslips refunded or void from their accas.
No problem.  Wink

You just have two options, either to comply or to find another casino that doesn't enforce KYC until they have to. Most casinos today will have you required to comply with it.
But as long as you're not the big type of gambler and you've got a consistent yet low cash flow on your account then they're most unlikely to require you with KYC. As much as they don't want to get onto kyc for their customers, they also have no option but to do it to follow the regulatory rules that's been placed on them.
The gambling platforms that I am interested in have KYC requirement, do you have any in mind that do not require for KYC? A friend won some money on a gambling platform and he was forced to pass KYC verification before they allow him to withdraw half of the money and the rest was never paid.
Duelbits has asked some players for KYC and some also that did not. It's based on what they look into your account and activity and that decision could also be the same as other casinos based on what they look into your account.
If your friend has already complied with the KYC and was paid half, what does that casino ask for so that he can receive the remaining half of his winning money? Can you name what's that casino that has still half of the money of your friend from his win?

What did you do or will you do in order to ensure your finanical stability despite all unfavorable circumstances ?
I have to sell some of my assets and that's just to sustain for the time being since everything is crashing lately since the bull of 2021 has done. Yeah, even if it's not a bull run then I have to sell some of my assets as if they're my life savings and that's the use of it. I can wait further and be patient to see its value go up but that's not the thing when you're in a tough situation. Aside from having a part-time job when you've got assets that are liquid, that's going to be the one of the use of it.

I don't like giving out my private information for any project or platforms online and I have no choice but to provide wrong personal details in order to maintain anonymity, how bad can this get if anything happens to the website system?

Is this a wrongful approach to online casinos that requires KYC? Or any of you have a better solution? There must be someone like me on here that have their ways around this. Share ideas if you can.

I heard there was a team that was playing PSG-LGD but were caught cheating using some sort of hack.
Was their team disciplined for this action. A suspension or an outright ban from competition for an extended amount of time?
In professional play this shouldn't be accepted behavior in anyway or other teams might try to do the same if they see no repercussions.
Yup, it was Team Knights that were caught cheating.

No disciplinary action was made so far since there's no confirmation but if the evidence they gave to Valve is more than enough then they're likely out.

I doubt other players that are currently playing in the DPC would be willing to do it though since getting that small edge isn't worth it when they could lose it all. And at least Valve has to do something against it since cheats have been around for quite a while.

That's for sure that we fans will still watch any of those as long as Pacman is there. But we don't know if there's still the possibility that Pacman will have those matches professionally as he has given the hint that he's going for the exhibition matches and after signing with Rizin, I don't think that we'll see any of those in the near future. And who was it again that Pacman is going to have a match in Dubai this upcoming month? I'm quick in forgetting things these days, is it another exhibition?

It's fine mate, we all forget sometimes because we have lots of more important things to think of. Anyway, Pacman will be fighting his former sparring partner, Jaber Zayani, in Saudi Arabia and not in Dubai.

That said, it will be almost impossible for Pacquiao to have a fight with either Errol Spence Jr. or Terence Crawford because I bet he's already packed this year because of the fact that he just inked a contract with RIZIN. Aside from that, I don't really think that a fight like that will materialize because Pacquiao will need at least a few couple of months to prepare intensively given that he will be fighting a strong professional fighter.
Yeah, thanks for the correction. I thought that it was going to happen in Dubai and if I'll go through the pages, it'll take a lot of time for me. I guess that match with Jaber was already confirmed last year and then when Pacman signed for Rizin, yeah that's for sure that he's got a load of commitments already after that match. Maybe 2-3 matches might be seen for Pacman for this year, 3 is already too much so maybe with Rizin that's going to be an average of 2 including Jaber's.

Let's just have to move on and accept that fact the Pacman has retired for good, no more professional fight for him because he knows that he can damage himself if he fought a bigger guy like Spence or Crawford still in their prime years.

So lets this fight happen, whether 147 or 154 lbs if might be good for us boxing fans. At least Spence could argue that he is facing a live underdog as compare to Crawford who faces an unknown boxer in David Avanesyan whom he knockout.
You're right, more exhibitions and no more professional bouts for him. Going back to what the title of thread is all about, what do you suggest for the PPV?

I watched the match between Fnatic and Blacklist Dota 2. It was a 2-1 series. The first game was won by Fnatic easily but 2nd and 3rd games were won by Blacklist too easily.
For those teams that will have a match against Blacklist, I guess they should not forget about banning Furion(Nature's Prophet). If it's not Raven that's going to use it, it is Kuku on the offlane.
2155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is it becoming a thread for casinos refusing paying very huge winnings? on: January 13, 2023, 04:35:56 PM
This is like a last line of defense for the casino and allows them to use the malfunction card whenever they feel like it. You won to much? It was malfunction and we won't pay you. You saw the sign before you started playing! How can the player know if the machine is damaged before playing? If it eats the money and doesn't show any win it's fine, but if it shows a win, the casino will claim malfunction.

Imagine if you had the same thing written on any electric appliance. We aren't responsible for any damage caused by malfunctioning equipment. Your dishwasher breaks your dishes? Should have never bought it! Your pressure cooker blows up in your face? Malfunctions happen, we're not responsible. This is a bunch of bullshit.
They usually use those "trap" cards or reasonings just to avoid paying the eligible amount of their players. That's the logic there, they should have shut down any of those machines if they were malfunctioning. But not, I think it's sort of a modus operandi on their end and they've been doing that reasoning and flipping the trap cards for the poor players that should have won whatever is indicated on those screens.

So am curious to know if everyone is still holding or have chicken out and sold theirs.
Fortunately, with the lesson that I learned before the bull run in 2021. I've managed to keep a few of them, it may not be big as what I've read from the other members here but still, I'm happy with this achievement of mine.
2022 was certainly full of challenges and if there's a market that's been challenged a lot, then that's bitcoin for sure. With all of those biggest collapses that has been reported, still, look at it right now and it's still alive and pumping.

I wasn't aware or can't remember that WazirX was already acquired Binance. And since they're under the wings of Binance then that's usually what it is after acquiring another business. I think what's surprising to me is that the 90% is just around $285M which I think isn't a lot for the largest crypto exchange there in India. But to be fair on this one, they've chosen the reserve to be in the form of USDT and not their native stable coin which is the BUSD.

Honestly, the bear market last year wasn't even more noisy than in 2018. When people have used the bear market of 2018 as a reference as usual with their comparison to the current and past markets. Bitcoin is here to stay and that's without a doubt. If someone is still too concerned about its existence then that person will just be too late to invest and will always ask if it's okay to invest now whether we're in a bear or bull market.
No matter what good bitcoin shows on its chart, there will be those folks that will never be enticed to buy because they've got a negative belief that's stuck in their minds.

Another one bites the dust. I don't get why there's so many scumbags in this space and all of them show their faces trying to make you feel like they're legit and honest but it doesn't take a lot to make them turn. Mashinsky from Celsius, Do Kwon, SBF... People should learn that there's no investing in personal endeavors in this space. When you're sending money to someone in hopes that you'll make money this way you're not investing, you're donating!
I don't believe that people will ever learn to be careful with cryptocurrencies, no matter how many scammers make money on their stupidity.
It's because new investors are trusting more personalities than themselves. It's like an easy gateway for them to be invested through someone who thinks an expert on it.
But it just so happens that most of these "experts" aren't really experts and the actual experts can't be found in the dumb of social media and hiding from being a public figure.
The sad truth even though years have passed, there are still many investors that fall for the "invest and earn by doing nothing" tag.
