🐳 Whale.io - Casino & Sportsbook 💰 Daily Cashbacks 💰

[Lakai01]

Yeah, even aside managing and maintaining high end cars like that, shipping such cars to the winners location or country plus clearing and documentation in some countries will  cost almost the same as the car itself, and from my observations, if the winner decide the casino should ship the car for real, the cost of shipping, clearing and forwarding and other expenditures will be on the winner and not the casino.

This is why the most viable option is to request and accept the money equivalent of the car, with this, the winner can easily and stress free purchase the car or maybe a cheaper car within his country.

These luxury cars are simply a great advertising gimmick and eye-catcher, and they have already fulfilled this role here in the forum, at least

It is highly unlikely that anyone would actually choose the car as a prize (it is even questionable whether whale buys any in advance), as there are enormous costs on top of the actual price, especially for delivery. It's better to take the equivalent in USDT and buy the car yourself, without all the hassle.

But as I said, these boxes are incredibly well suited as advertising measures!

I just saw that Whale.io has a Super Car Lootbox. It turns out that some kind of cars are being raffled off there, from a Lucid Air (I’ve never heard of that brand before) to a Ferrari F8. I have two questions: why isn’t there a Range Rover Evoque among the possible prizes?  The car I really would like to drive. And how is this kind of prize even handled? In each jurisdiction the rules are different, I really don’t understand how you can transfer a car to the winner, how it is registered and becomes their property.

Am not sure how they manage to deliver the prize and all, but they actually end up rarely doing that since most winners prefer the money equivalent of the prize which makes complete sense considering the fact that it's not easy managing such cars regularly.

This is a common thing that I observed in all crypto gambling sites out there basically.

Yes, I understand that many people would prefer a cash equivalent. I myself chose the cash option several times, because I didn’t like the games or items I won in a loot box and converted them into currency. However, in those cases the prizes were generally legally “justified”, and I didn’t see any potential issues with their delivery. Here, we are talking about very expensive cars, which are difficult to purchase even in the country where you are a resident, not to mention delivery from abroad.

Cash equivalent is the best option because of the boarder clearance payment and other shipment fees. But if there expenses are not much. It would be better to received the car. And I don't think those expenses are high as the car itself as you said. Example. If the car costed $20,000, the boarder clearance should be $1,000+ and all the expenses should be $3,000+. I will prefer to take the car and not the Cash. But if the expenses is more that, taking the Cash it better.

I won a $25 free bet last week from a Whale.io raffle. I waited a few days to wager it, but decided to bet on Juventus - Pisa in Serie A last night.
The final result 0:2 makes it seem that Juventus won the match comfortably, but that wasn't the case at all. Pisa hit the bar and post before Juve scored. Juventus looked weak, and the manager made some unusual tactical changes by placing McKennie on the left wing and Cambiaso on the right. As soon as they switched, Juve started playing better.

Very nice win.
I like playing single bets but with higher odds, and last time I won big with one of the Whale freebets on Aston Villa win.
We dont have so many matches around New Year but Premier League and Seria A are a lifesavers.
Dont forget to make prediction for new Whale prediction contest

We dont have so many matches around New Year but Premier League and Seria A are a lifesavers.

Most of the big European leagues are on a winter break right now and there isn't much else going on. There are matches from the African Cup of Nations every day. However, I have always found that competition difficult to predict historically. There are too many surprises and unexpected results, so I try to stay away from it. African and Middle Eastern football leagues are still on, but I doubt many people bet on those. You can find plenty of ice hockey and some basketball as well.

Well, that's only football. Basketball for example has plenty of games going, even today and tomorrow. Personally I don't like football too much, both watching and for betting on it. Somehow I always got the worse end of the stick betting on this sport, so ever since i stay away. Also three way factor with having draws is not what I prefer. 
Anyway, still plenty of sports available during the holidays, for all the degens.

Anyway, still plenty of sports available during the holidays, for all the degens.

In Europe in particular, skiing sports such as downhill skiing and ski jumping are currently experiencing a real boom around December and January, so it's definitely possible to place bets, even though in my opinion it's very difficult to predict the winners of races here, as the top racers are very close in terms of performance. On the other hand, the odds for a correctly predicted victory are of course very good.

Otherwise, the German Bundesliga will also be starting again soon, so you won't have to settle for just the English Premier League anymore.

I calculated the approximate cost for my country using perplexity and came up with a figure of almost $5,000.
For me, that's a F- -G LOTS of money, and for many people with limited incomes, too. Therefore, when there's no choice (money or a car), it might even make someone consider whether they should accept the prize at all, since many don't have the money to pay for imports and all sorts of taxes.

P.S.: Not long ago, I received the Solana Seeker I ordered, followed by payment of all duties and taxes, and with the cost of the smartphone itself being $450, I had to pay about $100 for all these procedures... to be honest, I even caught myself thinking that it wasn’t worth it.

What do you mean by saying that one should not accept the prize? If I understand correctly, you can still decide that you do not want the material prize (i.e., the car) but rather the equivalent value in USDT?

Then, apart from any taxable income, you will not have any expenses to expect, and the whole thing should definitely be worthwhile.

But otherwise, I agree with you: with non-cash prizes, it's always an issue that receiving and importing them can be very expensive and subject to very high fees.

Whale has some updates, as far as I can see. Now we can actually do something with Whale Token. I have noticed that new function, where you can Mint your tokens and turn them into saleable goods. You can then sale them on Magic Eden for Solana. Whale.io says that it creates a new liquidity format inside their ecosystem. I believe it is also a preparation stage for listing Whale token on exchanges.

How did you get your Whale tokens? What is their worth and can you trade them on exchanges?
I have zero Whale tokens in my account and I cant see any changes you mentioned in your post.
My total account balance is not zero, and I think I have some USDT available.

This is exactly why winners prefer the money alternative since it's too much of a pain and hassle to take care of all the procedures. He/She could just as well take the money alternative and purchase some other high end car which is already available in the country and have spare change left.

I believe he was just referring to accepting the car aspect instead of choosing the money option though I could be wrong here.
