1521  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀🎲⭐️LeeBet.io | $100,000 Grand Opening | Innovative i-Gaming Platform on: May 30, 2023, 08:39:23 AM
i just wondering about this promo then i visit the website and only saw a 5 USDT Free giveaway. Is that 5 USDT for every user to claim in an entire month?
will that amount increase if we keep playing on the site and wagering a high amount?
Every 90 minutes you will be given the opportunity to claim the giveaway after which the timer starts all over again and the giveaway will last for  month (30 days), and for each clain you get $0.01.

I did a little calculation and this was the result;
In a month (30 days) we have 43800 minutes,
43800 divided by 90 gives you 486.67. which means in a month if you're consistent and don't miss any claim you'll be able to claim the reward ~487 times, and for each claim you get $0.01, multiply reward by the total number of times you'll get $0.01 * 487 = $4.87 which in this case is approximately equal to the $5.
I don't think there will be anyone who would be willing to waste that much of his or her time just so that they can claim $5 giveaway.
Well, it definitely isn't a very lucrative giveaway and they might have only planned it for their regular players and it isn't to attract more gamblers towards the platform because if that was the case, they could simply just give away $5 at once to each user a month for any amount of month they want to run the giveaway for, that would make it much better and more attractive.

So my guess is that those gamblers who make deposits and gamble regularly on the platform will be able to avail of this bonus since they are the ones who will be active on the platform to be able to claim the reward after every 90 minutes.
1522  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What kind of rewards/bonuses do you prefer? on: May 30, 2023, 06:04:58 AM
I like bonuses that aren't tied to unreachable wagering requirements of 40x and more when we are talking about casino games. There seems to be too much focus on bonus offers for slot games (I know why). Still, I would prefer a nice push for live dealer games and offerings with high RTPs.
Because I am a fan of sports betting and not casino games, I like free bets, bet boosters, and cashback on the whole turnover, not just the lost bets.   
I think only bonuses that come with deposits have that kind of high wagering requirements, the bonuses that are given on a weekly or monthly basis for what you've wagered shouldn't be subject to any wagering requirement and a user should be able to withdraw it if they want because they've got that only because they've wagered a significant amount of money for that period of time.

Still, you are right that free bets or cashback are a bit better than just free spins that can be used on slot machines, free bets or cashback amounts can be used on any other game or even on sports events if one wants to bet on them.

Ankaragucu doesn't look like the type of team that can win this game. They are decent, they played well in the cup and I agree that they are not going to be dominated that easily, but they are not good enough to win. Galatasaray most likely will end up getting 3 points, or at least that's what I am betting on, and they will guarantee their championship with that game as well, not going to be that tough for them to get that win.

I know that it is going to end up with a good proper farewell to the season. Hell, they are so certain about the situation that they have already started to discuss what they are going to do with the next season, which players will be sold for how much and who they can get instead of the players they will sell, they are already considering about next season.

The whole world is waiting to watch India Pakistan match. When these two teams start cricket, it is difficult to accommodate spectators in any venue. The gallery is also fulled when there is an international match between these two countries. However, if the governments of both countries prevent this match, then the match cannot be conducted. If India has any security concerns then playing their matches at a different venue and it can be considered as a good solution. But in this case both teams should agree.
Right now, as things are going in Pakistan there is no chance for having matches between these two teams because time is running out and as ACC and BCCI are using their tactics most chances we will have no Asia Cup or if ACC will allow Sri Lanka then still most chances Pakistan will boycott this event with nothing is clear.
We will have matches between Pakistan vs India in World Cup which is going to play in India in October if Pakistan will go ahead for playing because as we have things right now nothing is clear about anything about Pakistan cricket.

For Asia Cup mostly peoples are feeling BCCI will allow for the hybrid model which is not going to work because in this case still there is chance for them to go to Pakistan for playing their final or semifinal which is not in their agenda right now this all is political and personal ego which is hurting this game but no one can do anything with these two countries.
1525  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Your favorite season to trade cryptocurrency? on: May 29, 2023, 03:53:24 AM
I never thought about it that way. It's when there is no rising or hype in the prices of any cryptocurrencies, that's the time when they prefer to have that research and see projects that are built to last. We will see how much they are going to last for those who claim that they can. I think the people who have started from the bear markets know what it's like and probably reaped rewards during the bull season. Don't you think so? This will make them even stronger, for sure.

My favorite season is the bull market, for sure. Almost anyone can profit, and that is going to be a hype. I hope that it will come to a time again the BTC will rise with an ATH again.
Although one can get more profits when there is a bull season, I believe a bear market can be favorable for some as well because it provides you with the opportunity to buy the tokens or coins of your choice at a very cheap price, and once that is done, that is when you start waiting for the bull run to come so that you can reap profits from all your bought cryptocurrencies.

I personally love the time when the market is just about to start going up, that is when if you buy, you will start getting profits immediately and you won't really need to wait for a very long time before seeing your assets getting in green.
1526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: increased Youtube Gambling ads? on: May 28, 2023, 01:14:34 PM
I've seen a couple of them on YouTube and elsewhere on some other websites too, but if you've been seeing that way too much lately it could indicate that you've been engaging in gambling during that time as well. I mean you mentioned that you've been watching several streamers gambling which could have an impact on the ads you receive IMO.

Nowadays, marketing relies on smart tools that precisely knows exactly your interests allowing them to display ads related to those interests across various platforms, such on (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter... etc)
That is done through cookies, every website has cookies and you agree with them to collect information and details about what you click and what you use, or what you watch mostly on that particular website, and websites and services exchange information with each other for monetary gains which makes you a target for a specific brand that is advertising a particular product on that platform.

It is a very simple yet complex system that is running everywhere these days. I've even heard that if you are chatting with a friend and you mention that you want to buy shoes, you will start receiving advertisements for shoes after that. That is how much the level of marketing has increased.

The new outfit of the casino site is very good. Almost all the casinos in the forum are there and each casino has their own bonus to give out, that is well arrangement. I am very amused of the trust score of Trustdice. I really like the way you analyze the casinos without biasness. I saw everything there is all right. Keep it up.
So, this was not their first design? I don't know if what is their previous design but I like the current one. Yes, I can see familiar sites there but as usual there are those sites that are not promoted in the forum. Are these gambling sites contented with the review sites? Or maybe the promotion fee there is only cheap. They don't know that creating announcement thread in the forum is free.

It can help them already even without having a signature or bounty campaign. It is great that they are not bias when it comes to reviews not unlike to most review sites out there where an unknown and shady casino is rated with a 5 star. This is automatically a red flag for me.
Casinos that are not present or promoted in this forum probably don't know about it or maybe, as you said, they think that there is a fee for opening their ANN thread in the forum and providing a link to the casino. If they come to know that they don't need to do anything else other than design their ANN for announcing their casino in the forum, they would probably do it.

About review sites, you are probably right that most of them are biased or not honest with their reviews these days, maybe they don't actually review the sites themselves and write those reviews out of nowhere or by copying others.
1528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never Expect Consistent Winnings From Gambling - A Lesson I Learnt. on: May 28, 2023, 06:49:24 AM
The effects of gambling on player are dependent on how the player manage his gambling activity.  Gambling is not a bad thing if viewed as a form of entertainment and the person is in control of himself.  Though I disagree with @OP that gambling is not a business, I would say in a player's part that gambling shouldn't be viewed as a source of income that can replace our job.  Gambling result is always random and we might experience a green streak today but there is no guarantee that it will continue to be green streak tomorrow.  Those who are caught in the thought of gambling is a good source of income often ends up with nothing in hand.
If a player has a control in their gambling activities. The effect of gambling to them are purely positive like they will release their stress and it can also allows them to earn a profit. Like many are saying, it's easy to earn money in gambling but the hardest part is stopping, which was true. I can prove it as I am one of the pioneers in gambling.

A business can also be an activity but as long as it earns you money and each business has their own down times too. Some can even fail miserably. I guess gambling can be classify as one because sometimes we can also earn money in gambling, more if we have a skill and we play games which skills can matter.
That comparison between gambling and a business was a poor one, to be honest. How could you possibly compare gambling which is totally a game of luck with a business which runs on your efforts and hard work? Even if a business can have its bad days, it is still not comparable with gambling because you can barely have good days in gambling and you barely have bad days in a business if you know how to run it well.

And, it is definitely not easy to make money from gambling, ask that from a gambling addict who spends most of his time in a casino and has gambled away almost everything he had only to gain something, ask him whether it is easy to make money from gambling or not.
1529  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: obsolete bitcoin investment advices [change needed] on: May 27, 2023, 08:42:24 PM
Your modified advice for the second one is basically what the first advice is all about. Isn't "Invest what you don't need for the next few years" the same as "Invest in Bitcoin with your spare money"? Yes, it is, spare money simply means money that you don't need to spend right now, it's like savings or the part of your salary that doesn't go for the household or overall expenses of the month.

And, I don't think that doing research is only to find out if the coin is worth investing in or not, research conducted can also be aimed to find information and knowledge about a particular thing. So if I ask someone to do their research before they invest, it can also mean that I want them to know Bitcoin before they get into it.
1530  Economy / Gambling / Re: ❤️ BitcoinCasino.to - Guide & Reviews - 1400+ Crypto Casinos List on: May 27, 2023, 05:05:09 PM
Welcome to the forum.
Your website looks good, and I hope the reviews are honest and unbiased as you say, but I'm surprised not to see some of the big names of the industry in there, like Stake.com which is the number 1 casino and sportsbook platform at the moment, and you say you've reviewed and added over 1,400 casinos accepting cryptocurrencies and I think you should have covered the top ones too in that.

Anyway, as a player if you ask me, I would probably want to know if a casino is trustworthy or not, I know my deposit will go through successfully but whether I will also be able to withdraw my winnings if I manage to get any is what a review should cover.
1531  Economy / Gambling / Re: Freebitco.in - FUN Token Investment Experiment on: May 27, 2023, 11:49:23 AM
The important thing here is that when we as players enter a casino we want to have many privileges and among those privileges is that they have a very good way of rewarding old players,which means that a bonus would be ideal for them, but for the average player who is always looking for Bonuses and rewards in a casino, the only requirement that can be demanded at this point is that they are achievable bonuses, not with a 100x wager Because that is something quite Impossible,so when it comes to reasonable requirements,well I think it is in the Normality index.
It's definitely not reasonable to expect a casino or a betting platform to provide bonuses with no wagering requirements since that would probably have no effect for the casino itself. Casinos provide bonuses only to attract more users towards their platform, players that will stick to them and gamble every now and then, if they start giving away bonuses without asking for deposits or wagering requirements, they will simply be giving away money for free.

So having a reasonable wagering requirement is essential for a casino to stay in the business and keep getting new and active gamblers in their platform. We as gamblers will need to understand it from their perspective as well.
1532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: May 26, 2023, 09:03:19 PM
Jason Roy is just the tip of the iceberg. Already it is reported that 6 of the regular England players are in talks with IPL franchises to pull out from the ECB contracts. And I am sure that many of these players are having regular contracts with ECB at this point. ECB simply can't compete against the money power of IPL. In the long term, this will impact the ability of teams other than India to conduct bilateral tours. More and more national players will retire from international cricket and focus solely on franchise cricket (similar to what Trent Boult is doing now).
Yeah but all of them are white ball players and hardly anyone has any Test future.

For example, Jofra's test career is almost finished due to injuries, the best he can do is play white ball cricket. Trent Boult is almost 34 and i guess he took the right decision.

Agree in the long run it'll definitely affect cricket but that's how the market works. And ECB should be the last one to complain, someone should remind them how these very same guys were sucking out every talent from other countries.
No one going to remind them about these all because they don't like things like these which were hurting others in past and now creating problems for them, but now it's time for them to have changed their system and policies if they want alive in this game otherwise things could be gone from bad to worse for them, and they will be completely useless in coming years specially if we have good franchise leagues in Gulf region then surely many countries will be suffered with this all due to infrastructure and money which are they providing players.

Test is now reducing, and white ball is just going to have one format T20 so from this all we can expect what is going to happen in near future ICC is not interested in any strategy as their deep pockets are already filled with BCCI money hopefully they will learn from FIFA and have some changes.
1533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Crypto coin Do You Gamble with the Most? on: May 26, 2023, 08:11:21 PM
It is still possible to track your gambling spending using an unstable crypto. You just need to list their actual value before you use them. Doing a list can help us maintain our desired spendings but maybe there are exception for a person who have a strong urge in gambling. If they commit it several times, it's better to not list their gambling activities as it doesn't really make sense at all.

In my case, I never track my spending because I have no problems on controlling myself lately and I don't chase my losses. As for the coins that I use the most, that will only be Ripple because I like how fast it is compared to Bitcoin and other cryptos. The fees are also affordable. Perfect for a budget gambler like me.
1534  Economy / Gambling / Re: BCGame Affiliate Program Issues on: May 26, 2023, 08:50:50 AM
As far as I can see in that regard, there is nothing you can do if bc games change their established rules because they are the ones who administer or control games and we are just players who decide whether we follow it or not.

But it cannot be denied the size of the percentage of their referral bonus. But if you think you have a fight or claim against what you are fighting in games, it is your right as long as you are in the right and you have strong evidence against them.
Well, whether it is a change in their games, in their terms and conditions, in their bonuses, or their referral commission percentage, a player or an affiliate can simply do nothing at all, they have all the rights to make any changes they want and casinos also mention this in their terms and conditions that they can always make changes in anything within the platform.

An affiliate who used the casino and earned commissions from their referrals will probably have to migrate to another platform in such a case since they will probably not change their policies only for one affiliate and they probably made the changes for a reason.

Do not get your hopes up too high... Eddie promise new features and new gambling sites to people in restricted countries, every streaming session ...and it seldom happens.

He is creating content and these things might be in the planning phases, but nowhere ready for implementation. He even laugh at himself, when he makes promises like this... but let's see what happens.

Most of their budget goes into marketing and not into development of new features.... just look at the time that a new original game were last, launched.  Roll Eyes
I think there is a difference between a new game and a new feature.
A new original game doesn't bring new players, a new feature like poker would 100% do.

Besides poker and casino, poker would be the 3rd leg of the site. Other than the costs for development and hosting there is also no risk of losses in this area. Lean back and collect rake.

Also, he didn't laugh or whatever when he spoke about it. He actually sounded pretty serious.
Of course it does. Original game is new in the eye of the gamblers so they will get curious to try it and who knows? They might like it and it can now be one of their favorite games. Poker is not a feature but it's called a game. One example of feature is the chatbox or the notification bell. A new feature can excite a gambler and it can enhance their existing experience so it is helpful too if the casino will came up with it.

Stake is a big casino so don't worry about the development and hosting fees. They can surely afford these. It seems clear to me that this was a stand alone poker game or category, just like sports betting. It made sense since I know there are already several poker games on Stake.
1536  Economy / Speculation / Re: My advice to you regarding bear markets. on: May 25, 2023, 02:51:44 PM
You are right people loss attention on crypto when bear market begin and when bull market begin people will become very agresive in buying, there are investors that is very hard headed and sometimes i did not understand them, it is maybe because the market is very unstable and very hard to understand also and it leads everyone to loss the end only one thing i can say never invest during bull market you need to have a big capital unlike when we buy on bear season we only need small capital to get big amount of coins.
that is wrong belief mate, because people are more giving attention when there is a losing price because we are waiting for the perfect timing to buy again.
maybe you wanted to say is that people lose buying chances , and that is not about attention because Pump or Dump people are aware and yes people are   giving attentions.
Well, that might not be entirely wrong since the market mostly consists of small and mid-level investors and all these investors have either bought already when the price was pretty high and they thought it won't dip more or have bought just recently and now if the price drops more, these investors become more concerned about the market than anyone.

One more thing is that there is basically no perfect time for buying Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. You will probably only miss out on the best buying positions if you simply keep waiting for the right or perfect time.
1537  Economy / Gambling / Re: Is this considered a safe practice on: May 25, 2023, 01:43:39 PM
You can use virtual credit card and virtual phone number. In my country it is possible using bank apps, you don`t need to use some special unknown services for it. Of course the bank will give information for police and some secret services, but it can protect you from different cheaters. Of course if you don`t make silly thing specially.
Yes, there are other alternatives but I think it's also inconvenient to have to re-create an account to create a virtual bank too, after all it's just another option for gamblers using a credit card, I'm sure not many gamblers use this alternative because it's clear that apart from being unsafe it's also inconvenient, a lot payments that are much easier and faster as well as safe, namely using crypto is the right way to deposit at the casino.

I believe that there is no other alternative that I think is safe and hassle-free except using crypto even though the OP asked if this is a safe way, actually it doesn't look safe even though I have to use anything virtual it still looks troublesome to me.
One should basically just let go of a bonus that requires them to use a credit or debit card. There are tons of other casinos that offer bonuses to you even if you make a deposit using cryptocurrencies so that is obviously a better thing to choose and don't put your privacy and your security under the verge of getting compromised.

The bonus will obviously not be worth it if something goes wrong and your card details are misused and your credits are used without your consent, so it is always better that a person takes a decision that is safer for him instead of more profitable for him.
1538  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Just.bet | The Web3 Casino You Deserve - Bet directly through your web3 wallet on: May 25, 2023, 12:05:32 PM
I have a question, can this really works? Because the ability to place bet straight from your wallet means that you can take winnings straight away, if such online casino offers bonuses and free spins or offers many gamblers will manipulate this online casino, there will be no waiting on withdrawal and that sounds cool, but to run a online casino withdrawals need to be crossed check very well.

Also, tell me how you plan to run such casino without KYC verification, if you guys become successful with your casino it's only a matter of time before the news spread and your casino will be categorized as illegal because it's just illegal, running a casino without KYC means no clearance is involved, the law agencies will be on your asses.
I've also always wondered how a decentralized betting platform would provide bonuses to their customers when there are no account registrations, no wallet, and the balance that is used is directly coming from the players' wallet. I think it might be possible to provide free spins to players based on their IP addresses but I'm not sure if that is going to work.

About the KYC part, yes, the authorities will obviously start regulating decentralized platforms too in the near future, they might be able to operate without that for now, but when that happens, they will be compelled to either comply with the rules or shut down.
1539  Economy / Gambling / Re: Help us to choose a bonus for a review campaign! on: May 25, 2023, 10:35:09 AM
Since you are looking for a limited amount of participants and reviewers, you should get a fixed budget for it and make it either in BTC or in a stablecoin which would then provide the winners the opportunity to purchase the cryptocurrency of their choice if they want or they can simply convert it to fiat through a P2P service if they need funds.

Paying this way will increase the chances of you getting the best reviews since people usually tend to work harder if they know they are going to get paid for their work, so if the budget is good enough for each participant, I'm sure it will be a successful campaign for you.

I wonder how Madrid will play. Will Vini play? Will he stay with the club or leave the league as a whole? I am not sure what's going to happen, he may end up leaving the team as a whole which would be devastation for the team, and to be fair for the league as well.

I believe if Madrid has any care about Vini at all, they would put him to play and they would give the ball to him constantly without missing any single possession, just focus on him as the target and make him feel loved. They will want to beat the opponent, no matter who it could have been, consider the opponent as the league, and will destroy them. I sense a huge gap this game, something like 5-0 is quite possible. Or maybe I am wrong, and they will play terribly, but I doubt that.
