MegaPari user ID: 739126501

Registration:

I’m not sure if this is important but the link we were instructed to sign up on was flagged by ublock origin (extension recommended a lot in the forum). In case of confusion, I’m only talking about the sign up link on the op and not necessarily the megapari.com domain, see photo:



On to signing up. It was actually recommended to use gmail but fortunately, I had no problems with proton email.They also don’t require a lot of personal info upon sign up, I just went with email + password so that’s plus points. For extra safety, I enabled TOTP 2fa and it went smooth. But instead of google auth, perhaps we can recommend a better app like aegis with far easier backup system?

Deposit:

I went with cryptocurrency for my deposit and as per the ToS, it doesn’t come with a bonus.

At first, I was going for bitcoin but it had 30 bucks minimum deposit amount + it was a legacy deposit address – I would highly recommend replacing this with segwit for cheaper miner fees. Fortunately, Megapari offers a wide variety of deposit methods so I did not get stuck or anything and had other options. I went with LTC and it was credited almost instant.

Games:

I first noticed the wide variety of sports they offered as well as the countries covered. With this many stuff, it could actually be hard to navigate, good thing filters/drag downs helped ease that for me. Perhaps a dark theme so it’s more easy on the eyes as well? Anyhow, the live betting went smooth, got my price after the game ended.



The problem is when I checked “casino” games particularly, fortune rabbit. What happened was, I placed a total of 2 bets and both returned an "error", it would have been fine until I noticed I got debited after a couple of mins. Fortunately, this was just a test and I only did $.60 cents each bet.



So I took this chance to talk to their support. They responded kindly + in timely manner and are looking into it.

I also tried a game in megagames called “Witch: Game of thrones”. I’m glad there was a demo but I think I’d be a plus to add a simple “how-to”. I also noticed some games don’t offer a demo version but perhaps that is the marketing strategy lol.

For the live casino, I suggest adding a filter for english-only games so players could make the list shorter. I’ve looked into the non-english games and I don’t speak a single language so there maybe people like me who are looking for english-only games hence I think this would be a nice quality of life improvement.

Back on topic, I ended up going with monopoly and won a couple of cents. I’ve also no idea if this was a troll or what but thought I should add:


Note: it's a thumbnail, you have to click it!

Withdrawal:

I suggest a bigger withdrawal pop up page so the whole address could fit hence easier to double check if you have the correct address. and perhaps, add the withdrawal fee on the page as well?



Withdrawal test, success!



Conclusion:

On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d say 8! Since the website is packed, it’s not that had to find something you’d enjoy which was the case for me. There were some tad bits of hiccups but overall, it was a fun experience.

Honestly not sure if op is offering a good deal given that the whole process of recovery is honestly complex and uncertain. I'm also not sure how such address would play when who knows how many times it has passed hands.

10% is no small amount... perhaps after the money has been recovered would be an appropriate time to discuss a reward.

Quick lookup indicates the NFT's were also made available on Binance.US and they could be making an angle with that. Article: https://support.binance.us/hc/en-us/articles/10119442847127-Binance-US-x-Cristiano-Ronaldo-CR7-NFT-Collection

Also, it should be noted that the suit was filed by a few people and not SEC. These people likely just want Ronaldo to shoulder the burden from their bad decisions AKA losses lol.

Honestly, the percentage is too high and I wouldn't be surprised if some locals are trading underground, ahem.

But I do wonder how India is tracking these evaders. Because for laws to be effective, it should be properly enforced, no? IIRC there was an article about locals signing up on foreign CEXs to evade taxes. I have not heard anything since then so I've no idea if they were caught and fined.

Whatever the service is, as long as their wallet is fully custodial, then you're not supposed to treat it as a storage. We've seen enough hacks, scams, funds management problems, etc. to know how fragile it is.

Best to go with non-custodial and non-hot wallet for storage 

Sounds like Philippine SEC finally remembered to research basic stuff such as licensing after all the recent binance headlines.

3 months is a good time frame but I do hope binance has already started sending out notices both off and on binance for philippine based users. Can anyone shed a light on this?

Basically why I view them as a service that comes goes -- a lot more often than custodial exchanges.

I'm afraid this trend will continue... since authorities focus a lot on the negative side, completely ignoring those who came for privacy. In addition, didn't some/a govt/s wanted for mixers to register? and most likely implement AML policies as well which essentially breaks the service.

Nevertheless, seeing how new ones are coming up probably means there is a demand for the service.

Welp, even asicminervalue isn't 100% sure of their list so why should you?


But yeahh I could imagine some people blind trusting their tested list hence this disclaimer should be on the list as well and not just on the FAQ or... just completely omit the "tested" tags and whatnot, it's not like they add specific supporting info for each yawns.

Honestly, influencers should definitely be careful of what they're tryin' to promote but there is something fishy about Ronaldo's case.

Sounds like plaintiffs saw an opportunity to sue the man to cover for their crypto losses lol. They're also seeking 1 billion USD in damages huh? is a bit too much imo.

I would also add ways to search threads in the forum as it will absolutely come in handy.

1. through ninjastic.space
2. by appending "site:bitcointalk.org" in your searches using your go to search engine. Btw you could also do it in reddit In case searches through reddit website ain't returning thread you want. There are loads of crypto subreddits as well and stuff like this are commonly covered.

When the [bitcoin] mempool gets congested af (loads of unconfirmed transaction waiting to be confirmed), miner fees sky rockets which is what has been happening lately. So long as you transact bitcoins + mempool condition remain more or less the same, expect to encounter higher than usual miner fee.

And the bit where the service decided to delay sending your bitcoin earnings is an internal policy of theirs in response to the high miner fees.

Perhaps I'm being over the top but I don't view centralized exchanges as something that here's to stay, they will come and go for whatever reason -- that's why as a user, I take some precautions.

But exchanges can however, make some wise decisions to extend their lifespan. For instance, don't go with strict jurisdictions such as US and treat your users with a minimum amount of respect.

Then don't cash out during the bear market. Before diving into investments, one must setup an emergency fund and all the basic stuff so they're less likely to dip into their investment when it's not harvest time yet.

I did suggest to hold bitcoin in my previous post as an alternative but it was never on anything custodial, much less on blockchain.com. In fact, my post was against that very idea. I'm not gonna repeat why as I've already said so in my previous post.

OP may only be interested in stable coins but who's to say we can't attempt to change their mind with a sound alternative :p

There are loads of glossaries you could use for these!

They go to the miners


It goes to the address where you mistakenly sent it! it's not exactly "lost" as well as it has just moved to an address where you don't hold the private key hence is inaccessible to you.

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible so it's up to the person on the other end whether they wanna give it back which in most cases, they don't. But fear not because prevention is better than cure.

I was a part of previous week

Perhaps the page has loaded prematurely or something?

I have traveled to places with shit connection and sometimes, some pages do not load properly hence I would see some parts of the website break and I have to refresh -- I'm not primarily talking about bitcointalk but websites I've encountered in general.

I thought the same last night as I checked it before going to sleep however, I'm afraid the error has shown up again, same with RU being the default language. I added a gif.

You could also look through merchant directories such as:

1. cryptwerk.com
2. spendbitcoins.com

[keep in mind that not everything listed will be legitimate, watch out for scams]
