Is there only an issue for me on that website, or can none of you scroll down in the list? For me it only shows 10 countries that gamble the most. I was hoping for the full list to check out other countries too, or it might just be an issue in my browser. Half of the countries among the Top 10 I wouldn't have expected on that list. For Spain and Greece I know that they like to gamble a lot, but countries like Norway or Finland I always thought of being very disciplined. Seeing them on the list is very new to me. Las Vegas might be very big, but so is the whole USA. For them to be on the list it would probably need a few more Las Vegas all around the States. Doesn't it seem a bit off that the list only focuses on the average gambling losses per adults? So this list should be rather called the countries which losses the most in gambling? Maybe there are other countries who are better at winning ?

That's a great success story, I am really happy for you that you managed to turn around your trading results. For me trading was one of the hardest things I got into and I lost countless times money in the past. After so many bad trades I think now it's just part of the game when being a beginner. For me the problem was being too optimistic, I tend to focus stronger on the good possible outcomes instead of the high risk scenario. You maybe also had some luck last year with the general market direction, but that's part of the game. Only when you are invested you can profit of the market. I really like how much you learned in the last few years. That's probably the most important trait of a successful trader, to learn from past mistakes and to not repeat them.

Sure the education in western countries seems much higher than in Russia, but there is a big issue here in Europa what we don't have and what Russia has a lot of. And that is natural resources. On paper Europe looks like a good continent with a lot of strong countries. But if the whole world trading would collapse, so would Europa. We are highly dependant on imports. The question is on what cost is Europe willing to cancel the gas trade with Russia? Buying gas from Russia makes the most sense for us because it's the closest country and they already have pipelines running to us. It takes years to build pipelines, we can't just change the infrastructure for gas overnight. There is a lot of good ideas how a nation can reduce it dependency on gas and move to other energy sources, the problem is that none of these options can be short term.  Also how long will these sanctions against Russia going to last? Should we never buy anymore gas from Russia? Not even in 5 or 10 years? I don't think it's possible to have forever lasting sanctions. The economic cost for Europe is much higher from the sanction than American or Asian countries.

Nice to see you opened a coffee shop for crypto users in Nigeria, hopefully everything is going well and you make a little profit. It's good to hear that there is more and more demand around the world  for such business.  If Abuja wasn't so far away from me, I would definitely stop by for a coffee  , but would probably not pay with Bitcoins. At the moment I am still trying to rebuild my crypto portfolio, so paying anything for in bitcoins or other cryptos is counterproductive. It is important for any crypto coffee shop to accept a wide range of currencies, that makes it easier for the customer to pay in whatever is best for them. It would be nice also to maybe once a month make a get together for all the other crypto investors, that could come to your coffee shop and sit down and talk about new trends.

I think it's time to lock this thread, because we can only speculate what the OP really wanted to tell us. This was clearly not a serious guy signing up on the forum and just posting 3 times here about an gambling exploit  He hasn't been online for more than 3 weeks and didn't post anything specific on that exploit. Maybe it was meant to be an April fools joke, just one day earlier? We all can agree that there is no real exploit here. And to be honest, if there was an exploit to make $200k riskfree profit. Why would anybody sign up to a forum and give away that exploit for free? Once it's posted publicly all the casinos will know about it also and patch the exploit asap. Instead of just being quite and becoming a millionaire he wants to give his secret away for free? Seems highly suspicious to me. The wierd thing is that he didn't ask for any money, hard to imagine his motive.

If your friend is only showing you profits, but won't give you anymore information than he is definitely hiding something. There is no trader in the world who only makes profits. Even the best here will have a bad trade from time to time. It's very easy to look like a good trader if you hide your losses. Just buy 10 different alt coins, and after 6 months at least one of them will turn into good profit and the rest who didn't perform you just hide. Don't be discouraged by your friend, its very hard to succeed in trading. You already took the first steps, stick with it. But make sure to manage your expections. Getting rich overnight only happens to a very few lucky people. From every trade you will earn something new. For now focus on getting experience.

The online gambling market became very competitive over the last 12 months. A lot of new casinos opened up and are fighting over market shares. The old school casinos who are still around today have huge customer base. It's very hard to compete against the industry behemoth. As for your bankroll it depends on your target customer base. If you are looking for average gamblers you should probably limit the amounts of promotions and you jut need 100-200k. But if you target high rollers and whales its better to have at least 1 million to cover short notice withdrawals. For advertising I would recommend running a signature here on the forum. And once you have some active customers you could also put some adds on Google.

I think that nobody in Europe actually believed that Putin would go into a full war with Ukraine. Maybe people now say they knew it was happening and expected it, that seems wrong to me. If the West would have known about the war than it would have been possible to prepare for the sanctions. Russia is the aggressor, they planned everything even if the plans where not accurate they could atleast prepare for the impact of the sanctions. The main problem for Europe they need the gas from Russia. Sure USA would love to sell more liquid gas to Europe, but its more expensive. We can't just ruin the economies in Europe to hurt Russia. Every sanction not only hurts the targeted country but also the country imposing the sanctions. If economy is affected too much, the people will just vote for another party that will loosen the sanctions again.

You shouldn't worry about these things, there is no point feeling bad about the past. You can't turn back time and change everything. It's also not healthy losing sleep over this. Most of us here on the forum started to get involved after bitcoins where more valuable 1$. We all could feel bad about being go late to the party. But I do think that bitcoins will keep rising long term. There is no way the sideways trend will be forever. The world changed a lot from last year, Russia Ukraine war, rising inflation, worse economic outlook. There are so many problems we face right now and still bitcoins are holding strong. Don't worry so much and try to forget everything for a couple of months. When you come back prices will be higher.

BLAST Premier Spring Showdowns in Europe and North America are starting on Wednesday 27th. Semi Finals will then be on the weekend. There will be some really exciting games coming up, looking forward to it. Liquid vs paiN is probably the most one sided game this season, who is looking for a small profit could bet on Liquid here, this seems like sure a sure win for Liquid. The payout with below 1.1 seems almost a waste of the funds. In my opinion much better games are Astralis vs Movistar Riders, should be a good win for Astralis. And also NiP vs Bad News Eagles should be an easy win for NiP. They played already last week against each other and NiP won that one.

West Ham United has good chances of winning against Frankfurt and going to the finals. But after the Barcelona loss I am really afraid to bet against Frankfurt, maybe we will see another miracle. So far I haven't put down any bet yet for the semi finals, maybe I will just skip this round and only put down a small bet on RB Leipzig vs Rangers. The payout for Leipzig winning is so low that there isn't much profit to be made and better to wait for the finals. If there won't be any surprises than we are going to see West Ham United playing against RB Leipzig in the finals. In the finals I will definitely put my money on Leipzig again. Will be close match though.

I wouldn't really say that capitalism defeated socialism, rather socialism together with communism defeated itself. Looking at the political systems today we all agree that capitalism was the better system. USA grew so much stronger in the last 80 years than Soviet Union or China. Socialism is strongly connected to communism and share a lot of the same principals. On paper it is a good system, it focuses on the common good of a country and helping everybody to have a better life. Things like central plannings makes that everybody should have enough and nobody is missing out. The problem is that people at the top are changing with power. Even if they were very good people before coming in office, once they taste all the power and money they will change. Instead of focusing on the common good eventually the politicians start to focusing on their own good, accumulating wealth and being open to corruption.

I am not aware of such an exchange these days. It became the norm for exchanges to request a lot of information from their customers to avoid the problem of money laundering and tax evasion. Crypto currencies became so mainstream in the last 18 month that exchange companies need to protect themselves. Being labeled as supporting criminal activities can be the end of an exchange.
If you want real privacy, have you thought about finding similar minded people in your area? You could either look for gettogethers of a crypto community, or maybe maybe some local adds that you want to buy crypto currencies. Doing transactions directly with each other - like paying cash for cryptos would give you the highest level of anonymity. Just make sure you meet somewhere in a public place and verify that the funds are real before bringing large sums of cash with you.  

Welcome to the forum, it's a good place to find out information about gambling. There were already a lot of posts here that recommend you casinos with good referral programs. But depending on the size of your telegram channels you might have much better options that the ones publicly stated by the casinos. In case you already have a casino where you gamble regular, I would recommend you to contact them directly about a special referral system for you. If you have channels on telegram with several thousand followers who are all into gambling, than you could bring a lot of new customers to the casino. For all the traffic you generate there should be a special program just for you. It' similar to the youtubers who have their own collaboration with casinos and make a lot of money of it.

Both CSGO and Dota2 I know very well, in both games I probably have 1k hours each. Initially CSGO was not free to play, and even today if you want to play competitively you need to pay. This is mostly to make it more expensive for cheaters to have alt accounts. Personally I prefer free to play games because it let's you try out game for free and see if you like them. Not like the battlefield where you pay 60 USD just to find out the older ones are more fun to play. I also like the monetization of free to play games where they add different cosmetics. So if you reallg enjoy a game and play it more regularly, you can spend some money. And there is no pay to win approach. But free to play games also have some issues, they mix players who only play for fun with competitive players together, that can lead to a toxic environment.

In my country saving money in a bank account is still very common even though it's not profitable. My grandmother and even my father have almost all his savings in a bank account that is paying 0.1% interest rate for the last 5 years. With inflation rates of above 2% they are losing money every year. I keep telling them that there are better alternatives to at least protect the money against the inflation, but they are not listening to me. The strange than is than they are complaining every month how much more expensive food and other things become. I don't see that interest rates will rise a lot any time soon. The higher inflation is a very good situation for all the indebted countries and helps them to reduce their refinancing costs. That is why I would expect to see a constant higher inflation in the future with only moderate interest. It just doesn't make sense to bring anymore money to the bank. I would recommend anybody to look into staking rather than saving to get at least some return after inflation.

But why would you look at the currency market as a validation for sanctions. There is almost no more trading going on. European and American banks have stopped to accept rubles or convert them. Russia has no real access to Dollars and Euros anymore. They have a lot of reserves in foreign banks, but can't access them anymore. There is no buy or selling going. That's why the currency markets don't give a real price for the Ruble. This is also why Russia is getting downgraded to partial default by the rating agency. They need to make interest payments of their bonds in dollars, but they have no access to it. They try to pay them in ruble, but not getting accepted. It's also why Russia wants gas payments in ruble and not euros or dollars. As long as sanctions hit people close to Putin and reduce the military spending its good, but if the sanctions only hit the average citizen it's not helpful I think.

The Phoenix Suns are still on top for the 2022 championship at the moment. It seems like another derby against the Milwaukee Bucks. Hopefully things will change up this year and it's going to be more exciting. The odds for the next few contestants are much lower and closely together. My favourite tram is still golden state Warriors, even though they don't have the strongest team anymore. Just going for the most likely winner has usually the lowest payout. Going with the underdogs is where the real profit is.

I am not very familiar about the Lightning Network. Only read about it a little from time to time, but never saw how the implementation in a casino would actually work. Could you maybe explain a little here in the thread what the advantages are over the usual casino design, and what the draw backs are? As far as I understand it the Lightning Network is a second layer over blockchain networks that helps in making smaller transaction between 2 parties without need to actually transfer funds. On paper that sounds very good, because many people trying out a new casino will not do so with large funds, but rather smaller amounts. If it is a cheap and easy way to reduce transaction cost I am wondering why it is not being implemented.

First time i hear about that website. Always nice to see new gaming platforms offering services. I am wondering what is the average return a decent CSGO player makes on your website? Over the last 4-5 years I tried out many different gaming platforms, with very mixed results. Most of them offered rewards in their own loot boxes which advertised dropping chances for valuable skins between 1-10% for the cheaper boxes. But even though I played there for months I never managed to get any decent skin. Most of the them where 1 cent skins, some 5-10 cents, but nothing more valuable. Only one of my friends managed one time to get a 20 USD skin. The dropping chances felt a bit rigged.
