Respect to Those Who Still Stick to Their Principles Over Gambling Campaigns

[Finebone]

I just want to share a small observation I’ve noticed around the forum. There are some posters here who are clearly qualified to join gambling signature campaigns, good posters, active members, and definitely meet all the requirements but they still choose not to join.

They could easily earn every week if they wanted to, yet they stick to their personal principles and avoid gambling-related campaigns. I honestly respect that. It’s rare nowadays to see people who won’t compromise what they believe in even if it means missing out on rewards.

The truth is that even though we all have eyes to look, but we as individuals see differently, just like the first user have said, everything is not all about money, some people are ready to say no even though you stick a knife 🗡️ in their throat, while some will just rethink and accept the offer when their is a bit of pressure on them to do so, but that's humans to you.

At the same time, I also notice the opposite, there are some users who aren’t really gamblers in real life but still apply for gambling campaigns, just to get a slot and earn something every week. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s just interesting to see how differently people view it.

True, many people are like that, they just want to make a living as long as they are not stepping or blocking another man's way.
So everyone has their own way of doing things.

So I’m curious, for those who avoid joining gambling campaigns even if you’re qualified, what made you decide that way? Is it a matter of belief, religion, or just personal choice?

As for this, those that are in the best position to answer  this are those that abstain from it entirely, because me I gamble, even though it's not on a regular basis but I gamble. I just believe that those that don't or don't want to have anything to do with gambling are doing it mostly because of believe or their religion kick against it, I may be wrong, but in most cases, it's more of believe or religion.

Unlike mixers, payment processors, or crypto exchanges -  there’s really no religion that’s against those.

Which religion support money laundering?

I know not all people use mixers for money laundering, but we can't avoid the fact some of them will use for bad thing. So it's all about perspective, I heard in few countries, they gamble and the money will be fund for a charity, which mean it has a good purpose for humanity.

It does not make sense to dismiss mixers because a tiny minority of users use it for money laundering and then make a case for gambling because a tiny minority of users do something good with it. In percentage terms not even 1% of gambling has anything to do with charity.

If you want to go this route casinos are used much more massively for money laundering as they have licenses and registrations. Money laundering requires a legal entity of some sort you can't accomplish it only with crypto mixers. You can hide the traces of your crypto but you still need a way to convert it to legit fiat for it to be money laundering. It makes no sense to be accepting of casinos and be against mixers from this point of view.

They are just few and it is just a personal decision and nothing is attached to it. Someone mentioned Muslim, religion has nothing to do with this but it is the person's decision not to participate in gambling campaigns. For them discussing gambling events with others is spamming and they don't want to spam. In this forum, gambling section has been tagged as the spammers zone. And many people avoiding that to clear their profile.

Every forum user is entitled to he or her decision to join or not join any signature campaign as long as they're eligible to apply. You doesn't compulsorily have to be a gambler before joining a gambling campaign , and perhaps if there uas being some who criticised gambling campaigns and the discussions in gambling board but later on had a change of decision, it's still nothing to judge them with. Change is constant and people can always find a ground to adjust decisions.

Bitcointalk actually made life easy here.

• You don't need to be a gambler in order to promote gambling projects
• You don't need to speak in favour of the project you promote
• It is not compulsory to patronise the project you promote

So, it all boils down to personal decisions and convictions which are sometimes also influenced by beliefs and traditions. Many countries are so so sane and ethical and people from those countries try to maintain the sanity even when they join the global community.

Not required -  it’s not written in the campaign requirements, but it really helps if you’re a gambler yourself since it’s easier to relate to gambling discussions. For example, in certain sports like NBA, MLB, or soccer, even if you know the sport but not sports betting, your posts might not sound that relevant. Some even force their gambling-related posts just to meet the quota, especially when campaigns require at least 10 posts per week, which can be tough if you’re not an actual gambler.

That’s just my personal opinion though, not meant to offend anyone. We all have freedom to apply, and in the end, it’s not us who decide who gets in, it’s the campaign manager.

At some points I agree with you, such as forcing 10 gambling posts. It would be really hard to make ten posts for whoever is not very familiar with gambling. But I still believe even if you aren't a gambler, you can engage in constructive discussions in the gambling section. It shouldn't be an issue if you are a fan of sports. On the other hand, whoever is active on the forum and constantly engaged with the signature campaign actually becomes familiar with gambling, though not an expert.

However, managers sometimes become hopeless when the owners ask for more posts in the gambling section. If one manager doesn't accept them, then another manager will accept since there is a lot of competition on the campaign. However, spammers will be everywhere; it's the managers' choice how they aren't going to pick the good participants.

Also, many of us have promoted mixers, payment processors, cryptocurrency exchanges, and maybe a few more things without having anything to do with those businesses.

Of course I would’ve promoted it if I was actually hired to be part of the campaign. But I think gambling is just different. Like some users mentioned, it goes against their religion. Unlike mixers, payment processors, or crypto exchanges -  there’s really no religion that’s against those.

I think I read that some even mentioned that according to some interpretations of their religion, investing in cryptocurrencies is not recommended or even forbidden. Maybe I misunderstood, but I always found it strange that any religion would restrict a person so much as to forbid them from promoting gambling or investing in cryptocurrencies, because neither is inherently bad, but it can turn into something bad if the person involved in such a thing is not aware of their actions.

If I go to the casino once a week with $20 and have a little fun until I spend it (or maybe win something) I haven't done anything wrong - but if I spend money that I need for my family then I have definitely done something wrong and it would be better if I had never known that gambling existed.

I will not say that there are no bad practices by casinos, but still people are to blame for the bad things that happen to them.

There are many reasons why some users here don't participate in promoting gambling campaigns, which those reasons are best known to them. But I can only think of this three reasons: first reason is either they are just here for the community just as the second person who commented made mentioned of that, they are not here to earn by participating in signature campaigns and most of this users here who are not participating in signature campaigns see those payments from signature campaigns as peanuts why because they have other better sources of income or they are holding large portion of bitcoin so they already see themselves as millionaires and billionaires who don't necessarily need those peanuts coming from signature campaigns. Second reason is either there religion forbid anything gambling nor promoting anything that has to do with gambling. Although I can't really tell of any region that forbid gambling or promoting gambling platforms, but I believe such region exist. Third reason is either they don't like gambling natural so for that reason they choose to outstay from anything that has to do with gambling including Signature campaigns that mostly has to do promoting gambling platforms.

Cryptocurrencies are about 2 decades in, religions are much older, how could they forbid investing in cryptocurrencies!? I can't wrap my around it.
