Am I missing something special about DirectBet? The website looks really awful, range of markets on a game limited, no live customer support chat. Plus the directbet staff who post on this forum, just auto-spam every thread with an ad!

Are you taking a fee on every deposit or something? Depositing 1 BTC gives you 0.998 BTC in your balance. Annoying for your friends of oshi! promotion-thing too as well.

I had the exact same problem, I had to flag it with live chat who didn't understand what was happening but refunded me the fee.

They also gave me 10 free spins, but despite three separate chats with support they where not able to help me get them working.

Was a dreadful first experience and I'm now avoiding this casino

From what I understand is that the loophole they exploited is that "Games of Skill" such as Fantasy Sports where exempted from UIEGA which was the law that prevented online gambling.

The case will be about is daily fantasy sports skill or luck versus season long fantasy sports games.

What hasn't helped that in the UK both Fan Duel and DraftKings have applied for a Gambling License in order to operate in the UK

I'm excited to join the casino coin revolution.

Any progress in having online casinos accept it? What about the various bitcoin casinos?

Is NY the only state that is prohibited?

No a few states already had bans in place and Fan Duel, DraftKings and Yahoo don't accept players from:  Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, and Washington State.

The reason that New York is getting so much press is the way the ban came in place and the fact that it probably accounts for 10% to 15% of the player pool, so will have a significant impact on the industry.

I tried playing on this site but i found the slot game kinda boring. I think you should add more slots game atleast and add option to change the withdrawal address

Aren't all slot games the same? I mean they have basically like different ''skins'' like different images but it's pretty much the same, isn't it?

Slot games vary in a few ways, one is volatility of wins so lots of small payouts versus small number of large payouts. The payout percentage or what's called the return to player can vary.

Apart from that it's down to in-game mechanics such as number of reels, lines and bonus/side rounds

Re: Is there a difference between buying shares in the stock exchange and gambling?
by
DonFintoni
on 15/11/2015, 07:45:10 UTC
I think stock exchange one can make money in the long run but in gambling most likely every one will lose money. What you guys think?

They are both very similar in that if you are disciplined, patient and do your homework you could make long term profits. But most people participants in financial trading/gambling don't do this and don't make long term profits.



I think if your talking about day trading then correct mostly people make a mistake and lose money in share market but if one buy a good company shares then mostly they will make a good profits over the time. But in case of gambling one will either win profits fast or lose every thing at instantly so both are not same.

I disagree, with Poker as you are playing against other players and there is no "house-edge" it is possible (with the right hard work) to be a long term profitable player. Sports betting to a lesser extent offers the same advantages but again requires a huge amount of work.

All other casino games in the long run you are unlikely to be profitable

So there is a difference between interaction source, and money source.


That I agree with, except in the situation of a new casino, where they will have to put together a house bankroll to manage the variance of wins and losses until the player pool grows to a suitable size.

I may have misunderstood you, but that's not how roulette works, you don't win the money from the other players but from the house.

You are absolutely right, the max bet on the roulette table helps prevent the martingale system from working and also reduce the variance on house profits. The free drinks keep the player at the table longer etc etc



No you win it from the other gamblers ,where the house acts as the medium of exchange. The house keeps it's comission, the house edge, and the rest of it is distributed through other gamblers.

Nope, that's not how roulette works. Every player at the table is betting against the house. For example, if every player bets on red and wins, the house pays.

Poker is where the players are playing against each other and the house takes a "rake" as a fee for hosting the game and there is no house edge.

Best thing you can do is go talk to a professional who can help you

There are a lot of gambling advice groups who can help, a google search will help find groups local to you.

Such as http://www.gamcare.org.uk/forum who also have an online forum http://www.gamcare.org.uk/forum
these guys are also very popular http://www.gambleaware.co.uk/

Next thing you need to do is ask all the gambling sites you currently with on to close your account and accept no further bets. All reputable sites will be able to do this easily and will have no problems with it.

Best of luck!

Gambling firms do a lot of things to try and remove the player edge, be it as simple as table limits/max bets or cross selling you more profitable games all the way up to refusing any further business for consistent winners. So while mathematically I think you are correct, in reality it can be very difficult to be in the long tail of profitable winners due to random chance.


Half true. The casinos usually put those measures in place to protect the house profit, but they can still win eachother's money.

Like in a roulette for example you have maximum bet size so that a guy with 1 billion dollar cannot martingale itself to infinity and bankrupt the casino.

However if he bets flat, he can still win the other people's money.

I may have misunderstood you, but that's not how roulette works, you don't win the money from the other players but from the house.

You are absolutely right, the max bet on the roulette table helps prevent the martingale system from working and also reduce the variance on house profits. The free drinks keep the player at the table longer etc etc
