Good point! Soviet Union was trying to make its countries closed and didn't let people to know what was happening in USA, Europe, etc. It was very hard to leave and get out of USSR. People were living poor, didn't have access on technics, TV, Radio, (When someone had, it was a phenomenal moment), there were shit Russian cars, etc. People were living poor life and since they didn't know what was the good life, they were thinking that they were living at their best and didn't have a requirement of a better life. Imagine, if you don't have access to electricity, computers, smartphones, etc. When you don't know these things, you'll never have a requirement of them. This was the life in USSR!

Will there be a world without poverty? There is no way! People are egoists, we all want all the best for ourselves, it's just our nature and it's pretty normal. There will always be someone who will try to achieve more success than someone other and humans will always try to compete against each other.

Someone who lives average life would be considered as the richest at past. Someone called poor right now would be the richest in ancient times. As time goes, the quality of life improves, so the meaning of poor is a little bit developing and probably in 400-500 years, someone called average would be considered poor according to future criterias.

Running of Faucet was their business model from the very beginning. When bitcoin's price started to rise, it was just really impossible for them to operate only via simple dice and faucet as they had. They couldn't give away normal rewards and people aren't attracted to low rewards, so, they changed their business model. If I amn't mistaken, they started by offering 4% interest on your deposit money and then they started massive development and you'll see the result (but I hope they'll dramatically change their User Interface).

They had a promotion on Binance where you could earn the share of FUN tokens by trading them. Personally, I gained 75 FUN token.
There are and will be more opportunities in near future!

If you read meaningless reddit posts about Shibu, please ignore them. Shibu is really high risk - high reward coin, it gained 30 000% since it's launch but in reality, I think these coins have zero value and are driven for no reason like Dogecoin.

In bitcoin trading, if you want to increase your profits, you can use Futures trading and use more than 1x leverage. For example, if you use 10x leverage and bitcoin increased in price by 1%, then you'll profit will be 10% of your capital instead of one but keep in mind that 1% decline means 10% loss too.

You can also use leveraged tokens trading for lower risk compared to futures trading (I mean liquidation).

There are also some altcoins that increase 2x, 3x and even more when bitcoin rises, for example let's take BNB and Matic (they depend on Ethereum's price but in overall, Eth follows BTC too). BNB is a great for low risk - high reward because the CEO does everything to make this coin top, so, great back!
And Matic, just see the charts, this coin is doing unbelievably well.

I have been a part of Betsson team for a while and can truly say that this is the team that not only cares about the players deposit/withdraws but also cares on their addiction problems. There are numerous organizations that help gambling addicts, I want to share ones (from Betsson) that weren't included in this thread via OP or other users:

1. GA Gamblers Anonymous

2. Gordonhouse (Analogue)

3. Stödlinjen <-- If you are from Sweden

I'll create a thread and will talk more about these and additional resources, I think a similar thread should be pinned there.

What's unethical here? You registered on the website, deposited money and haven't even logged in on your account for more than six months. Why this website should keep your account? They pay money to keep servers up, to develop a website and offer you a better user experience, to keep your wallets safe and even add new ones, so, why should they keep your account and balance when you abandoned it? Have you seen any bank that allows you to keep money on your card and pay zero fees?
If I send you my car, will you keep it in your garage for free? I guess, no.

Also, they warn you and send emails for more than one time about this and what's unethical after all? I don't defend Bitsler, just don't think your argument is fair.

When you started operating on this forum, was anyone complaining you? Did anyone sad bad about you without any proof? Was anyone blaming you? Nooo, right?
Why did you start to ruin your reputation instead of building it? Why where there a lot of scam accusation threads against you? And these threads were coming with proofs, you were closing accounts of customers who won a good amount of money.
I have two questions and hope you'll answer me:
1. What changed now? Why are you trying to gain trust?
2. Why were you scamming users in past? And if you changed, then do you admit that you were a scammer in past?

What strategies do these people buy? There is only one working strategy and that's: Buy Low / Sell High.
The problem is that people don't realize one thing: If person somehow has one working strategy, why would he/she sell it? And how can one build a strategy in crypto where yesterday price was 60K and today it become 30K after Musk's tweet and China's ban article? Can any strategy predict this? Any strategy follows the basic rule: Buy low and sell high and people have to just be very patient, trade rarely, only when there are good moments. If you have $50 and want to turn it into $50 000 then you come here with the wrong mindset.

I think usually people buy not trading strategies but the trading bots. These sellers know what people want: To earn money while having fun in the cinema, at parties, etc.

Sad but true   

As I see, crypto casinos usually use the Curacao license because it's cheap and easy to maintain + you only pay 2% tax of your net profits. Also, right now, more than 90% of crypto casinos have Curacao license and it's very usual for gamblers to see, it almost turned into a tradition. I have even seen players who were at some point amazed by not seeing Curacao license and were asking whether the website was legit or not. yeah, really!

To say the truth, the license doesn't matter that much nowadays, certain licenses are acquired for certain benefits. What matters the most is the honesty of casino. There are great casinos like: Stake, Bitsler, Sportsbet and others that have Curacao license but they are leaders in the crypto industry and have gained enormous trust, popularity and profit. I doubt there is another sportsbook with more "trusted" license but as popular and trustworthy as Sportsbet.io

There is nothing wrong if you use VPN on casinos. I haven't seen casinos that restrict VPN usage but the reason why some people get banned for using them is that they use the VPN that has shared IP. When IP is shared, it means that there is the possibility that someone with that IP was already using your targeted casino. So, in this case you have to use VPN with dedicated IP and then you can feel secure, none casino will lock your account because this is the exclusive IP that you carry.

To be 100% sure, you can always ask Casino whether they allow you to use VPN or not. In 99% cases, you'll get answer that it depends on you and there is zero problem from their side. By the way, they won't recommend, nor will prohibit to use.

I guess 99% (if not 100%) of people don't fully agree with the terms that the casino provides but finally, when you want to gamble, there is no other choice but to agree with the offered terms.
So, most crypto casinos share the same Terms & Conditions and Curacao license. But what happens now? Now people should start to look at whether this or that casino easily asks for KYC in certain cases. If the user finds that casino A doesn't ask for KYC when you win and doesn't really ask if there isn't anything suspicious, then the user will stick with casino A, especially if it has good promotions and bonuses.
Luckily, there are really a lot of good casinos out there that really match the criteria of my casino A example.

The website lasted a long time and still lasts with its old software and UI...

Even if we forget everything, this forum is just an online treasure and museum, a place where the legendary Satoshi Nakamoto was posting, a place where the other legendary people were posting, a place where the businesses were built and conquered the crypto space and a place where you'll see the community like no other.

I think this forum needs something new, I feel that as time goes, more people leave this forum. I loved the 2014-2017 years of bitcointalk. Sadly, right now, even cointelegraph has 2x better Alexa rank than bitcointalk.org

I think you like that idea because of your username

Pharma is a business, one of the most huge business. There are a lot of medicines for depression, pain management, for sleep, to calm down, etc and somehow, all of them are mentally and/or physically addictive. There are non-addictive alternatives but they are always under research and not approved. Without addiction, pharma companies wouldn't be able to sell as much products as they sell right now.
So, why I said that... Pharma companies prefer to create a new one and sell it in high price in order to gain more profit.
Btw as far as I know, medics can prescribe any medicine off-label for various reasons. And there are a lot of doctors that always treat their patients without following the protocol.
I know a lot of doctors who were giving away antibiotics to their patients while it was prohibited according to their protocol and as most of them claim (that I know), the protocol was shit and if they followed it, a lot more people would die with covid.

Who dominates the ocean, fish or whales? I guess, whales. Everything is always dominated by the whales, they just use amateur traders to achieve their aims. Whales can create the hype around project and make amateur traders to buy and buy the coin, then whales make some move that makes amateurs to panic and boom, your bubble is exploded.
Amateur traders just follow the flow that whales create, once something goes wrong (i.e. any negative news, massive sell), then people try to move away from this flow as soon as possible. Some people have a little patience compared to others and wait a little further, then they think that price falls so much that it's time for them to leave too, then others follow and once the price reaches the low point (the point when the majority of people sell), then it starts to rise again and then these panicky people are lost in vain and repeat the same.

There are softwares like XD, Figma, Invision, Marvel, etc that lets UI/UX designers to create the prototype of its product and let the users test it. You won't be able to download and install an app from Appstore or Playstore or even download APK but you will be able to test all the basic functions and feel how the app works, it's called user-testing and is done in order to know what you need to improve in your UI, how easy and pleasant experience it is for your customers to use the app, etc. (Before that, you create Personas and build the product according to their statistics).
Some nice updates will come soon and I'll prototype it also and share it to the users.
Again, I don't make the actual App, I only make the UI, design.

Wait, what do you want from trading? Do you wanted to buy bitcoin exactly at $28,808.00 ? What did you want? To buy today and become rich tomorrow? If you think that price is high at the moment and there is the possibility of price fall, then you can call short on futures trading and you'll profit when the price declines.

Every time is a good time when the price is far from it's all time high, that's what I think and that's what has always succeed for me. It's not necessary to check your portfolio every day and every time, just seat and wait. One year ago, bitcoin's price went from 9K to almost 3K, I really missed that moment and the second day price recovered. If I have watched that fall, I would panic and sell, glad I missed that moment.

The drive was mostly caused by the post-halving expectation, PayPal's adoption and yeah, Elon Musk had an impact on the further rise too. His post affected bitcoin's price very significantly and caused a massive drop (but I'll mention that it was going to go from 30K to 40K pretty quickly but then it got another hit from China). Then we saw Polygon (Matic) despite the fact that BTC was falling and it happened after Elon's tweets... So yeah, he affected the crypto market but I guess, his influence has lowered a lot, a lot of people blame him for crypto fall and especially his Doge fans.

Have a look at HashOcean, it's not gambling-related but is pretty much near to this discussion. They were claiming themselves as the real bitcoin cloud mining company and imagine, they were paying users for almost two years, you were getting the invested money back in 3 months. As time was going, people were both, amazed by the ROI and were believing that this company was really doing cloud mining. Lately, a lot of people sold their houses and invested money in HashOcean and one day, they closed their website and went away. There was petitions, etc, but nothing happened. And HashOcean steal so much money that they even affected the bitcoin's price.

You won't see a normal company scamming people.

Compare two to each other - 1xBit and Stake. The first one has BetB2B script and scams people, the second one has it's team and departments and operates honestly. The first one doesn't try to build reputation, it tries to attract as many customers as possible and then do the all-in-one scam.

Is it easy? Yes and that's the main idea of UX but at the same time, it's not aesthetically pleasing, at least I think so. You have to seriously work on UI and change the current structure a little bit and make it much more beautiful.

I think that the buttons and fonts in the middle and right sides look very big. I would also change the font type. And I guess there wasn't spend much time on color combination and psychology. You can find amazing color combinations on Dribbble.

Also, have a look at competitors and seriously analyze them. And in this case, I don't only mean crypto casinos but every digital casinos overall.

There is one bot/software on this forum - mydicebot that lets you to create strategies, test them and modify the way you wish + there are some popular strategies implemented too. It lets you to do bets and test your luck without risking your bankroll.

But people, when there exists a house edge, there is absolutely no way to win over the casino. House edge means that the casino has an advantage over you. Every game / casino product is based on mathematics.
To make things more clear and easy to understand: According to math, 1+1=2 and there is no way to receive any other answer, none strategy can change the answer, none, there simply doesn't exist any strategy that will change this result. So, there is no way/strategy to beat the house. If you beat it, that may happen because of your luck, fortune!
