That's the case, the topic starter has placed some bets and lost his/her money. And yes, this is also the fault of the gambling site, their mistake of promising something they can't afford to do (or they can't do for whatever reasons). All employees (whatever position they hold) are company's representatives. If I buy something in an online store, for instance, and they say the goods or services will be delivered in time, and if they are not delivered in time, I have the right to be remunerated for this mistake of them. I think Stake should try to fix it with the guy not because they allowed him/her to play, but because this is a good lesson for them to train their staff not to give promises they can't keep at all!
However, on the casino's place, I would not give this remuneration directly in cash, I would pay it as the first payment in a clinic where the guy is going to have gambling related treatment. This would be fair, I think.

I don't know but for me it sounds ridiculous. This is a person's mistake to play when they know they are game addicted. I think it is simple as ABC. Even if one online casino bans you, you will find dozens of others where you will play:) with brick-and-mortar casinos everything looks easier as you will have to make a long trip to another location when you have banned yourself from all the closest gambling houses. With online casinos, you always have a choice:) if we are taling about addiction, you will never stope until you get the shot. Otherwise, you will not be able to think about anything else except gambling. It works the same for drug or alcohol addiction. If you ban yourself in one casino, it is never enough. A friend of mine did that in one online casino, but the next day he was playing in a brick-and-mortar one. If you think it is enough, you should do it on your own. Hidding a shot is not the way...

I think you are too serious about choosing a casino. Playing a gambling site is more about the fun than about profiting from investments. When choosing an exchange, for example, you should be more serious as you have more chances to profit there or to earn interest from whatever. As for online casinos, long term odds are against gamblers in all cases (otherwise, casinos would never operate). I personally use some methods like gamblers' reviews and all this blsht like license. But to tell the truth, you never know. Even a decent casino may close at any moment.

Good idea, mate but some competitors use this "SCAM" word + casino name scheme to beat their rivals. Currently, almost all casinos are "SCAMS" as you will definitely find a website, where they are called scams, even decent ones:) When I deal with fiat casinos or even with some crypto ones, I personally look at license (Curacao) and their reputation on Askgamblers or Btalk. I know that casinos tend to pump their reputation by buying reviews, but if you read some 10-30 reviews, you will find some true information about a casino. All in all, gambling is more about fun. Even if you win a decent amount, you will not be able to withdraw it all due to withdrawal limits that you can see in all casinos be it an excellent casino or a notorious scam

I would place some bets for short distance events. As for long-distance ones, no one knows if Futuur will operate in two-three years. This is like having 50/50 odds about particular events minus some percentage of risk that the website will close:)
