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

[Yamifoud]

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.

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.

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?

No names, no judgment here, just an observation and genuine curiosity about what drives those decisions.

life is not only money man. I don't like gambling, I do not participate in any gambling campaigns. I'm here for the community, not so much about earing. Of course, side hustle is always welcome, but if it doesn't fit my moral compass.. no thank you.

There are many spammers who just make non sense posts for campaign quota and in Gambling board, it's very popular.
This issue does not appear now but it has existed in many years and the merit system can not fix that. You can easily notice many users ranked up easily with very beautiful merit figures but their posts are simply shitposts.

They ranked up, and will be important members of spam community in gambling boards.

I really appreciate & respect their decision. Everyone has a personality; they rarely consider their personality. There are a few users even though they never joined any kind of signature campaign, whether it's gambling or non-gambling. It's their personal choice; they really don't care about money.

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.

Does the gambling campaign require one to be a gambler in real life or an online gambler to participate in the gambling campaign? Sometimes on a few campaigns, they just ask to register; they don't force you to gamble at all. Even if you don't gamble in real life or online, you can still participate in gambling discussions. Everyone here is not to join for earning money, but the forum is giving that opportunity for qualified users. So we are definitely taking advantage of that.

For me, I join gambling campaigns, though I am not a gambler in real life. Sadly you will not find many non-gambling campaigns on the forum where we can participate. Actually campaigns help earn some money, and it does force us to be active on the forum. This is the honest view from my side. It doesn't mean I can't survive without campaign earnings. But it does inspire me to be active and contribute to the forum. Not all the campaign participants are spammers.

Some people are Muslims is the reason but some people are old members that have large amount of bitcoin. People that have large amounts of bitcoin are only here for fun but some people that are Muslims do not see a campaign to join because most campaigns on this forum now are gambling campaigns. There are reputable members that I know that are Muslims that were in non-gambling campaigns before but they stop because they have no campaign to join now.

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.

Life is all about principles and what work's for you and align with you personal beliefs, money indeed is not everything and sure peace of mind and self respect can give more that what pleasure one can drive from money, and quit sure that we have individual differences, we have some of us that are ok with gambling but can't promote other services like mixer's but we still have those that can't promote gambling campaign but can accept to promote a Bitcoin mixer company, this is all about individual moral alignment.

I have also thought along the lines, I am not fan of gambling and neither do I encourage anyone to start it, but unless you have safety cushion whether it be irl job or savings, I don't think you can ignore your account here to make some money.

You don’t have to like gambling. I don’t spend any of my free time gambling. Think of what good you could do for the community with signature campaign funds. I probably wouldn’t be selling silver at spot price or have spent the last 13 years donating all my mining rewards to a community organization if I didn’t have supplemental income to make that possible. It allows me to do cool stuff here, without worrying about making money from it.

What i did, i bought a "beer" to all the campaign participants from my sig campaign when my boy was born, and we did some raffles among the "spambusters" community back in the day, to push more ppl to report spam when it was a big problem. It helped good place to give a big thanks to all the donators to the raffles back then

At the very least you can run a very good Bitcoin node with some rented dedicated server. Even signature campaigns for lowly ranked full members will pay enough in a month to fund a very high spec node for a whole year! That is one of the best uses for these funds for those that don't have a node yet in my opinion.

I can sense that few of them are big diamond-handed, a long term Bitcoin HODLERS. They keep their passion as a hobby, not as a kind of job. If they treated their account like a money making machine promoting those betting sites or else business thru the signature, they’d have to fulfill quotas, post regularly in those gambling boards or else, and follow daily or weekly routines for the minimum payouts. In those situation some may find it kind of boring but since it’s just for fun, they can post whenever, whether it’s one post a day or one post a year.

Always one name comes in my mind when I see such kind of posts like this, JayJuanJee! Absolutely OG guy. Whenever I come online, I see their posts, read a lot and even check when they last logged in which is usually it’s just 20–45 minutes ago, sometimes barley over an hour. jjj is a machine. They mostly write half a book in a single thread in every post, and shares daily. I find them to be a very knowledgeable person on this forum without taking any benefits.

Honestly, they might be posting another book in a thread while I’m writing this . Hats off, myan!

[KingsDen]

Why only gambling signature campaigns? I would have suggested we view it holistically, those who doesn't wear paid signature at all. Not promoting gambling related projects is a decision based on beliefs and morals and shouldn't mean much to anyone. If there's a campaign that sells gun to criminals, I know I wouldn't promote it.

Meanwhile, when I was new in the forum, there were a few users I loved visiting their profiles because they were over qualified to join campaigns but they choose not to. Among them were;
JayJuanGee
DannyHamilton
Franky1
Philipma1957
But a few years ago, Phillip started wearing signature after being motivated by one post so.
It is not easy to post consistently over a decade without monitizing your posts, harts off for the heroes.

Sorry, but how can you know that?  Just because some people dont want to talk publicly about their gambling habits does not mean they "arent really gamblers in real life."

Whatever the reason, its almost always a personal choice.  Some folks just dont care enough about the money they could make by joining a campaign.  In some places, the weekly amount they would get from signing up is barely anything to them compared to what they are already earning.

[Agbamoni]

Discipline, moral and personal experience are three core reasons why many members choose not to join  a paid gambling signature campaign. Although, one thing is constant in life which is change. I have seen few members who kept to their principles for a while now, but they later changed their mind towards what they believe. Someone can be a Muslim today and tomorrow become a Christian.

[DPHOR]

Do you really think this topic is as important as you may have created?
To me it would be better to leave this and respect their choice of decision on whatever they have decided towards joining campaign or not. This is personal issues and we should respect whatever they have decides and not pulling their legs out. Of course we know that everyone have different motive of being around here, some people may come to just get information about bitcoin how it is gradually getting adopted, while there are people who that bored at home or doesn't like associating themselves with social media hence decided to stick around this forum to have fun around with different around the world through this forum. So, they may not put money first instead of that they can post for free or without joining gambling campaign and I believe we should respect them.

I also don't see any point of this thread created, similar to someone who create a thread about religion in gambling discussion.

I can understand if it was created by someone who want to rent his signature and he specify if he didn't accept gambling company.

Creating this thread is already a judgement, regardless with or without an intention.

I have seen few members who kept to their principles for a while now, but they later changed their mind towards what they believe.

I noticed those users, but there's something like terms and condition why they accept that.

They don't want to apply for the campaign because they know the campaign is mainly for gambling, so if the campaign manager don't mind to hire them just to wear the signature without posting in gambling section, some of them will accept it.

I just noticed it, but maybe I’m wrong. It’s not like they don’t talk at all, they actually post in the gambling discussion board, sometimes on specific sports betting games. But from how they write, it feels like they don’t really know what sports betting is. Still, like I said, I could be wrong about them. Maybe they’re just forced to post because of some posting requirement. Anyway, it’s not a big deal. You asked, so I just responded.

Do you really think this topic is as important as you may have created?

Yeah, exactly. Otherwise, if I said no, it would just look like I made this topic just to attract spam.

I remember that, if I'm not mistaken it was in the CM campaign a few years ago. In any case, it was a nice gesture.

I'm not a gambler in the literal sense, but I still follow sports and sometimes dabble in sports betting - but even if I had nothing to do with it, I don't see why it would be a problem for me to participate in any legitimate sig campaign that promotes online casinos. I am not one of those who is forbidden by religion or the laws of my country (which is why some members do not want to promote gambling).

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.
