How did Brazil do? Horrible. Vinicius wasn't there? Bright. Without their main player, the Canaries looked lost and were pecking at the defenders like chickens who don't know what to do. Brazil was hesitant, which helped Uruguay, who played smart. Loss like this isn't just a blip; it's a sign of a bigger problem. There would be no Vinicius, Neymar, or leadership. When you take away that much punch, the team is left with little to offer

Ballon d'Or. Why is Vinicius not in the running? That's really a shame. He was really hot, but this accident makes room for players like Bellingham. This loss for Brazil pretty much sums up their season: lots of promise, no return. That's the way things are, but that's sports for you

Thank you for your honest opinion, I appreciate it and have put it into my consideration upon the attempt to see the situation from different perspective. I'll say that, seen from different lens, the recent discussion can indeed cast an impression that I try to paint Stake as a good casino while Peeps tries to point out how they cheated their players.

However, if I may offer my perspective and the way I see the development of the case, to clarify, I am not defending Stake in sense of turning my ears deaf and my eyes blind. I don't think I won't do the same for any other random casino if it ever happened to them. I simply don't want someone mudding a situation, especially when addressed to one that tries to go by the book.

Unless I understand things wrongly, OP got his account locked roughly three weeks ago --let's say a month, just to be safe-- he got stuck at level 3 [proof of address] because he can't provide a utility bill under his name, and level 4 [proof of wealth] because they asked him for the latest 3 months of payslip, and OP can only gave the last two.

This situation then remedied as the month changed and OP got his next payslip, enabling him to submit three last payslip, as well as having his credit card statement as proof of address in place of the utility bills.

With these, Stake immediately proceed, investigates his account, and unlocked his withdrawal.

This is not like the neighboring case where they throw impossible reason of rejection, like things being too blurry, all details should be on the same page, etc. This time they play by the book. I don't think it's fair if the casino [any casino, really] rewarded with a statement that they tries to steal.

If Peeps's comment was addressed to other cases, perhaps the one that spanned for about six months, where even I commented once that they crossed a line with their KYC requirement, I wouldn't waste a breath to address statement Peeps gave here.

Stake's KYC cases is something that piqued our curiosity, about how they seemingly tries to weeded out their players by imposing borderline-irritating KYC. I even agreed to an opinion on earlier page on this thread, about how their KYC requirement upon first deposit should be player's decision and not something being enforced to them. But the situation here is different.

A Czech mercenary from the Carpathian Sich battalion is being tried for looting in Bucha

In Ukraine, Killings of Surrendering Russians Divide an American-Led Unit

The first link is especially interesting. A Czech mercenary admits to war crimes he committed in the place of the high-profile staging of accusations against Russia.

Maybe that's only for change their call for playing slot game to Scatter so only people who often playing slot game that will knows. That will not makes other people curious with slot game because they only hear about Scatter and not slot game so they will not thinks much.

That can makes kids not thinks about gambling because they don't understand the meaning of that word. But if they curious with that word, they will asks to that person about the meaning and that can makes them search from internet. Gambling is truly not a secret anymore but adult people should not talks about gambling in front of kids because that can makes them curious. We don't know if Scatter is only popular in one area or it's been known in many places so we can just guess that many people understand the meaning.

Bronny just got drafted because of the popularity of his father, other than that, we can't expect him to contribute to the team significantly.
I guess enough for Bronny, we criticized him too much but let's give him a chance, maybe he'll make a miracle and will be able to be one of the starters, probably replacing Reaves. lol

Saric hasn't had a big impact with the Warriors, I don't know why they didn't use him much but if he'll be with the Nuggets, that would be another good addition so they could  give Jokic more time to rest in a game if necessary.

Assuming Xavi is still the coach, Barcelona will still be in second position at the end of each season until the club is strong enough to win Laliga, but currently that a new coach has taken over I don't know ifit will be a problem for Barcelona to finish second in the table next season. Flick is a good coach and I believe he will be supported by the management but it might be difficult for them to win Laliga till they have the players that can outsmart Real Madrid.

Olmo is a good player and very young, if he comes to Barcelona it will be an advantage to them because the team will improve in performance. He can play along with Yamal if he is not sold out and their attack will be strong. However, it will take the coach time to strengthen the team to win trophy but with time he can turn Barcelona into a team that use to be a nightmare to Real Madrid.

But i think used such gesture was unnecessary, though UEFA was sanctioned merih, but they were no parties who can be blamed. I agree. UEFA was not fair about the ban given to bellingham and merih, bellingham was 1 match, but Merih was 2 matches. Merih could have avoided the ban by not making a sensitive gesture. And i think he should have known very well that if he is playing in the highest national competition in euro. I think both, merih and bellinghem deserved it.

UEFA is not totally wrong here. I think Merih must realize if he did something wrong that cost his club a loss against the Netherlands. Last, I hope Merih will be more professional in the next competition by avoiding use such unnecessary gesture like that.

There's nothing huge expectation that Bronny would perform better since at first place he didn't get drafted at higher place.

Also his stats is pretty bad that's why lots of team avoid to get him. If there are few showing an interest then provably they are just luring Lebron to join their team. So provably that Bronny will just be a bench warmer then get few minutes in court just for marketing.

LBJ maybe just hope that Bronny could learn something on Lakers but if he totally became another Thanasis like then provably he's career will end up early especially that Lebron is going to retire soon.

There is no treasure or natural resources that's a curse, is just about the individual that has been assigned to look after it or what comes from it's sells that matters, i know that people will always say why am i using africa as a case study, yea I will because am from Africa and my country is not doing great in anyway, we have this mineral resources in large quantity in the state where I come from but our government has decided to pay us back with bad, although I know that corruption is everywhere but the corruption in terms of rulership in Africa is nothing to right home about, there is know form of transparency in my country, a country that has many mineral resources but still borrow to finance their budget, unemployment always rising like the price of petroleum product, i think we need change that will impact the life of the citizens positively.

Many developed nations are using their natural resources to developed their states iirespect how populated they are but it is a different case all together in this side of the world, op, if anyone say oil discovery is a curse in Africa don't blame the person because it what it looks like, we see a situation where the previous government is always better than the present one and sometimes one will ask what's the problem with Africa, you will be forced to say that it is greed and too much of wants, people embezzle to accumulate wealth for generations to come without giving it a second thought if the generation can continue in that lane, Africans really needs to change their mindset to make things right unless the want to remain in darkness.

There are many real issues that need to be reviewed regarding the application of KYC requirements to gambling, because the application of KYC can be exploited by casinos with bad reputations to collect a lot of user data. I think the solution to this problem must be an official site or list from the government that indexes officially registered casino gambling sites following regulatory requirements, so users no longer need to worry about providing KYC data at casinos that have been officially verified by the government.
