How often do you check you Gambling balance?

[Wapfika]

Hey Bitcointalk  fam.

We have developed a neat feature where you can check your wallet balances across chains. You would be surprised how many players tell us: “I had no idea I still had hundreds of dollars in meme tokens I completely forgot about

snip

I’d like to ask you — is this a good feature to have on an affiliate site, where players can drop their BTC, ETH, or SOL addresses and instantly check their balances?

Would you use it?

It would have worked if it was a separate website and not a part of a casino site with the catch that we need not have to connect our wallet.
But other than that, the usecase is very limited and I don't think it will be used a many people.
People usually know what their wallets hold and so it's better to not put any efforts into it at all.

The target users of this tool are probably degen gamblers that usually gamble using altcoin specifically meme coin. They usually leave their balance since meme coin has very low base value while a high volatility can result to make the price pump a lot that will result to the peftover balance becomes significant.

I doubt someone gambling using stablecoins or Bitcoin will forgot their balance in the casino. There’s also some bonuses in the casino that need to be claimed consistently so gamblers often check their balance.

When it comes to gambling, I don't need to check my gambling balance that much because I gamble from one account every day. I don't deposit my entire monthly budget for gambling, I divide it into several parts and when the gambling balance runs out, I reload the balance again, of course from the monthly fund. Yes, there are many who check their balance after each bet. But the gambling feature is designed in such a way that when you go to play, you will know about the balance in your portfolio every time you place a bet.

If you have coin or token that has value then the casino itself will show it as a balance on the top, which is the combined value of all the assets and then you can navigate through the wallet page to see the balance of each asset. And who really forgets the balance in their wallet or casino account?

I don't see the usecase here unless you want to promote it as another blockchain explorer.

[rdluffy]

This is good if it works like that which doesn’t need to connect the wallet address.

This will work for someone that play on multiple casino that typically leave their balance. But as yahoo already pointed out, It’s very rare for someone that will leave huge amount on casino and forget about it.

This is possible on early days of crypto which a dust amount before is now significant since the crypto price pump significantly. Anyway this might be useful for someone as long as there’s no risk involved on using the tool.

Since you only put your adress, there's no risk to do this

This means I will connect my account to the website so you can have access to my casino balance? I notice coins.game on the image below which mean you include centralized casino.

I rarely leave any balance on my casino account after my gambling session so I might skip using this feature. I wonder how many gambler leave their balance on the casino.

NO. Wallet checks are read-only, we look up the address against public blockchain data and that's it. We don't store your address or log it.

I think some users might be thinking that this tool is for checking their balance at casinos
As if you were connecting an account or wallet from the casinos themselves

Casino wallets are meant for the gambler to see and know and not for the public. It is from the balance of the casino, we will know if the person is a serious gambler or a part-time gambler. As for me I am a part-time gambler and not a serious gambler and as for me, I only deposit when I want to gamble so there is nothing in my casino balance to check frequently. I deposit, I play games, if I loss I leave and if I win, I would withdraw everything and rest for some days.

[Awaklara]

I am not sure about checking the casino account balance. Most gamblers will definitely look at all the balances in their account when they are going to play or after the game. Even if they want to leave money in the casino, it is probably a small amount. I am not sure about the feature you are developing. We may need a more detailed explanation of why it would help gamblers in checking the balance in their gambling accounts.

Vast majority pf gamblers are just deposit to play gambler's which means that they only deposit when about to gamble and withdrew all the balance,  so what and where will the hundreds of dollars be seating in the casino account and the gamblers won't know when he is constantly in contact with the balance.

Most people will find this service as unnecessary and attempting to connect your wallet to the site as a third party,  this grants them access to your balance at the same time, so gamblers will be very sceptical about this service.

One of the strongest reasons that make a lot of individuals hesitant to get into the specifics that they are so familiar with is the low utility of the balance tracking option. Being a part time gambler, your concern about the safety of the funds, and the comfort in which you play the game is much more significant than showing your balance to the rest of the world or even people in general. Indeed you can time your depositing by when you are ready to play is a good idea to prevent such impulsivity and even make sure that this leisure activity does not get too out of control.

Probably more than I should check it if we're being honest; but I think a lot people do.
It's so convenient and easy to check my gambling balance from my phone that it happens a few times a day.

I don't know if checking gambling balance is a part of bankroll management, but I know it would be more useful to those who are more frequent gamblers as opposed to those who only do so on specific occasions.
I also don't know how efficient this new developed feature is mostly as regards protecting ones wallet against prying eyes and scammers who are always looking for means to have access to people's forgotten funds.
It's a good development though but there has to be first time experience reports from other well meaning users in order for the others to come aboard.

Most of my Ethereum-based cryptocurrencies are in Ether Wallet, so I don't think I need this.

Regarding gambling balances, since I am only using Stake.com, everything with a balance can be seen. I have set the setting to hide the currencies with zero balance so that I will know what is left in my account. I have LTC, Doge, XRP, and more. All of them are showing in my balance, so the need for an application to show it is irrelevant since Stake.com will already make it happen.
I think the target of this is those who are forgetful of their accounts. Those who have copied their addresses but forgot about the amount deposited in them. It's helpful in a way, but I don't believe it will be used regularly.

[Charles-Tim]

I do not check my balance on the gambling sites that I am using. I only prefer to check it when I visit the site and I can easily see it immediately I login on the gambling site. The balance is one of the things I will noticed on the gambling site even if I do not have in mind to check it. I do not know how other gambling sites is, I am talking about Stake. That is the gambling site that I a using.

Would you use it?

Are you talking about my gambling wallet balance or wallet(s) I stores my Bitcoin and crypto funds investment portfolio?
I don't know why I am feeling skeptic about this development.  
In fact, I don't like affiliate sites because when there is a contradiction even the site at fault will find it possible to deny it that it is from their end and I will be the one at the risk.

I will not be so stupid to store my digital assets in a gambling site neither would I be so ignorant to connect my crypto investment wallet address to any other site.

On the contrary, every gambling sites including the crypto casinos is expected to have provisions for users to check their balance. I don't know the essence of this your feature.  

[Muba20]

Gamblers check the balance of the account they are betting with regularly. I don't think any other features will attract them to use it. Moreover, those who gamble continue to bet with money or any assets in their balance until it runs out. As a result, it is true that the assets left in the wallet of gamblers will not be very much. If you can make a good feature that brings benefits to gamblers, then maybe some will use it, but for gamblers' use, I think it should be easy and shortcut, otherwise gamblers will not be encouraged to use it.

[Mrbluntzy]

It sounds like a good feature, the gambling industry has a large number of players that has their individual priority in every new features related to gambling, this your new development could be what some players are looking for but there are also a large number of individuals who already knows their balance since they are more sensitive to money than anything else, they would not easily forget how much they left in their balance and they would not also leave a big amount in their account, like myself, I always have such information in my head from the last bet or last withdrawal I made. If I withdraw, I know how much is left there.

[nimogsm]

It's just a nice feature, but it's not new. It's essentially the same blockchain explorer, but with a different twist. More experienced cryptocurrency users understand that there are networks that can offer airdrops, as there have been hundreds of them on various networks. For newcomers, this might be a revelation, and someone might be able to claim their bonus if they meet the conditions.

[hyudien]

To be honest I'm not a person who likes to keep a balance in a casino account, at most there are only a few cents and even then only the remnants after playing or after making a withdrawal, not enough to use to bet or play slot games, I always simple, deposit and then play until it runs out or and if I win I will immediately withdraw it all, so this feature is not quite useful for me, but it will certainly be useful for those who keep their balance in their wallet.

[Doan9269]

Ideally, we check our balance before we even place a bet, this will give us the direction to what we should do and how we should gamble for that moment, it's also helps to work on our budget plan so that we don't get caught in and unprepared circumstances, knowing our balance is not something bad to do, but it will be very unfortunate of us when we try to do this and still yet fail to responsibly gamble at the end, we must plan before gambling to know what is at stake for us and also be able to manage our bankroll more effectively.

[Sammye3]

Personally, I would never forget how much balance I have on any gambling site on all occasions. I don't play casino games frequently but I still have an idea how many cents is left. After a successful gambling day, I would always withdraw my winnings and leave nothing until another gambling day.

This is because after close examinations, leaving my balance in the gambling site would only force me to make more bets mostly after a good betting day. This is what helps me ascertain how much balance I have on every casino or betting site, which could be mostly empty on most occasions.

[Gentle_Soul]

My gambling sessions are usually longer because I take out some times to really analyze the games  am interested in and take my time  to scrutunize before predicting, all this times am usually very active online and while gambling I also watch my balance too and that decides how much stake I would take.
Even despite watching my balance there have been a few times I had forgotten my balance after a gambling session so if your service is capable of checking ones balance without having to link wallet or release any sensitive information out then it can be worth trying especially if it is swift and easy as you have explained then its fine and worth trying but if that is not the case then I'm sure I wouldn't want to release any sensitive information just to check my balance.
