Re: How can you enjoy the game when you are losing?
by
Wakate
on 25/07/2025, 19:29:59 UTC
Those who got free spins and free money from the promos that they have joined. That is one way to enjoy the game without having to be worried at all. Because the spins and bets that you'll do is just free so there is no heartbreak even if you're going to lose it all. And the chances of you losing it is higher. But if you come around the forum and read those other members that have shared their wins from the promos that they've won, you'll be happy to see that there are people that really are cashing it out and making money out of it.
I have used so many free spins to win unexpected profits and it has been fun especially when I won without my full awareness of how everything plays out. Gambling is always fund when your are making money with free bets. Sometimes you get free bets or bonus weekly or monthly due to your activities on the casino and some don't even require any bet at all and in such case we used to see many gamblers taking the opportunity to use free bets to make some money from the casino. When using free bets, even though you are losing that wouldn't bother you.

Re: US Americans can now donate towards reducing national debt via Venmo

I don't think the US politicians really cares about this because we have been seeing different donations for other countries like Ukraine and under developed countries to support them  while Americans keep struggling to survive. This idea looks primitive to me if the citizens are the only one participating in this and instead the money that is being pumped on allies and neighboring countries to maintain rapport should be directed to a separate account so it can be used to clear some of these debts. Maybe I'm not really making a sense here but accumulative efforts would make a great sense.

Re: USA announces 50% tariffs on Brazil

I'm not sure if you’ve been following the news, but President Donald Trump has just announced 50% tariffs on Brazil. Some say it's politically motivated retaliation, while others believe it's a way to economically target a country that, under its current government, has been favoring dictatorships and communists, attacking freedom of expression, and going after American companies, especially those in the tech sector. So, what do you think about this?

(Click on the image to view full size)


I don't really know why this is happening but I think Donald Trump has been misusing the power the United States has to inflict other nations that don't support his political movement. This absolutely absurd and unethical for him to place high tariffs on Brazil because its one of the members of BRICS countries. Maybe he should have done the same to Russia and China so make this more ideally logical. He keeps sanctioning countries with the use of tariffs and other means possible to draw a close to deal with them. Is Brazil actually having a great business rapport with the United States? I don't really know but I think the move against this country should not be acceptable.

Re: BTC to $500, are you still buying?
by
Wakate
on 25/07/2025, 07:20:58 UTC

If that happens im going to buy a lot, but since its just a dream since , there is no way we are going to see that price, and as other said lots of people will buy, since they know what can happen a few bitcoin in that price is enough and keep it, sometimes you need to gamble on something, since we never know what could happen next, only people know the real value will not think twice.
From the current situation, $500 will only happen when most people lose confidence in Bitcoin. When people no longer find any potential in Bitcoin. If Bitcoin is dead, then we may see the price so low. These fantasies are definitely unrealistic. Currently, countries are trying to preserve Bitcoin by considering Bitcoin as digital gold. Some countries have also completed the initial stages of creating a reserve currency. When people are accepting Bitcoin as an alternative to gold, then considering the price of Bitcoin at $500 is not consistent with reality.
I am very surprised about the way some people think like the market can follow their ignorant mindset about Bitcoin. Bitcoin has nothing to do with price at $500 looking at how far the price has gone. Bitcoin is already at $117k and if the price can go as low as $500 then that means the market will crash and many altcoins will not be in existence.
Even though the market is being manipulated to the core, it will be very hard for the price of Bitcoin to go down below $20k and not $500 based on the matter of discussion. If anything happens to the price of Bitcoin, the price of cryptocurrency will crash especially many of the altcoins we are seeing in the market.

This is the most important thing of all, that they read the terms and conditions very carefully Every player before making any move should always put into context the things that suit them and know what they are getting into and not regret it later because something does not suit them, This way they avoid problems for themselves and for the casino, The casino then has fewer complaints and therefore its reputation continues to grow.

Of course most gamblers are that very lazy to go through their terms before they proceed gambling and whenever the rules are strictly adhered it makes gambling very easy and simpler than not following up what they had on their ToS, and like I know most of the gambling site strictly frown against the use of vpn and if they don't know before gambling they would also be a victim. Most of the Gamblers always have that mindset to outsmart the casinos without them knowing that the gambling site do have a tools that runs through their system to detects those who are cheating on their site.
Many gamblers are very lazy to take a look at the terms and condition of the site they want to use and this is not because they can not through that site but because they are not interested in doing that. Sometimes that is the one of the reasons that do result in not knowing what the terms and condition of a casino stated and the region it restrict from using their casino.
Sometimes some casinos do not give a warning about people living in a restricted regions they ban, making it difficult for many of them to know especially when they don't read or have not studied the casino rules and terms. There are also restrictions on games and other activities on a casino.

 Your explanation is pretty cool since the interest rate is based on the value that is available in the wallet. Although I have seen some wallet retrieval services that collect a fee of 20% flat rate without negotiating on whether the amount on clients wallets can be huge or not.
I think crypto wallet retrieval services need to be flexible and relate with clients in a comprehensive way in case some might want to give their own rate which might still be adjustable. In a case when the wallet recovery procedures are simple and easy, slicing the price can attract more clients since service rate should not be fixed and less affordable.



Not disputing the fact that some service providers indeed charge really high but price compilation is a sure way to build trust for the clients
This estimation to me it's fair enough but what if one just needs a wallet back probably it was used for something in the past and currently does not have any holdings or probably less than a 100$ what would be a subsequent charge for such a service
I think however he the case it should be captured in the analysis
The wallet recovery compilation is to help this community to find suitable services that could help their need. Since their are so many wallet recovery services in this forum but the good ones are hard to find due to inactivity on their threads and not coming online regularly.
There are people that are looking for these services to help them recover lost wallets that might be hard for them to recover due to different reasons like not having the right resources or tools to recover the lost wallet due to incomplete seed phrases or partial forgotten passwords. Any of us can be a victim of lost pass key and that alone can hinder our access to the wallet making it difficult for fund recovery.

Re: Has El Salvador been lying to the world?

El Salvador has not made any new Bitcoin purchases since February 2025, according to a new report released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on July 15.

The disclosure directly contradicts President Nayib Bukele’s long-standing public claim that his government has been buying one Bitcoin per day.

The IMF’s findings were included in the first formal review of the country’s Bitcoin program since El Salvador secured a $1.4 billion loan agreement in December 2024.

[...] The report noted that although on-chain activity shows BTC moving between wallets, these are not new acquisitions. Instead, the transactions reflect internal transfers between cold and hot wallets.

The IMF emphasized that these movements had led to a “misinterpretation” of El Salvador’s Bitcoin activity. Officials further argue that reallocated reserves or assets obtained through legal seizures do not qualify as state-backed Bitcoin buys.

El Salvador probably wanted to keep their image as a bitcoin friendly country. Not only do they want to appear friendly to bitcoin, it seems like they want to be a country known for having a lot of bitcoin and possibly get investors in their country. I have seen some people doubt IMF's reports but what do you think? It makes sense if bitcoin has become El Salvador's political move.
You don't need to be surprised about this because that has been what had been happening in the crypto space since their are no proof to know if El Salvador is actually buying Bitcoin or not. There has been so many claims like this one in the past, billionaires claiming they are Bitcoin friendly just to get huge support from the crypto community.
During the United States presidential election, President Trump was able to attach himself to the Bitcoin community so he can get massive votes from many crypto influencers and lovers. This one was one the ways he was able to convince the world that if he is voted for, he's going to support the adoption of cryptocurrency.Thank God for Trump for keeping to his world.

All of this happenings is making me all worked up especially based on the Trump speech that keeps changing the price of Bitcoin and making things unpredictable. I think trading before was found much more easier and stress free compared to now since then you can be focus on the fundamentals and technical analysis to see the position of your trade, but right now there have been a shift and thus affecting the whole system.
Trump has been gaining followers and influence in the financial market and I will not be surprised if I see anything like market manipulation from him. Perhaps trading the market currently has been fun and easy to make money when you are smart and know a good source to get information that can increase your chances of making money from the crypto market.
Once you keep following good and profitable strategy on X, you won't have much problem making money from the crypto market. Trump still has influence in the market since he's still in charge as the president of the United States.

Re: Does trading belongs to everyone?

Trading is actually a dangerous profession.

I can't call it dangerous, but with my little trading experience, I do not believe trading is for everyone because it involves a good understanding of the market, techniques, and analysis.  When I first read here that trading requires a solid understanding, I was thinking it would be something easy to comprehend until I joined one trading tutorial platform that a friend introduced me to, and to be honest, the tutor is very good, the videos he directed us to watch, the more I watched the videos, the more complicated it became, and only the few patient ones are still following the tutorial. Trading requires patience, discipline, emotional control, and a solid understanding if you can maintain all this you will find trading suitable.
Trading is risky and it could be a danger for people that jumps into it without accurate knowledge but it doesn't mean that it is dangerous by itself. To understand the technical analysis of trading is quite complex and not everybody that can have the patience to learn so if you think that it is difficult to learn or you are not making profit, it is better to invest and hold instead. Many newbies gets the wrong impression about trading, they think that it is very easy to make money from it and they will rush into it and most times they will lose all their money before they understand that it requires patience to monitor the market.
Since trading is a complex activity, it is fine when I see people trying their best to learn about trading without being too desperate. Making money from trading is possible except when we become too greedy to let go and always chasing loses. There is no guarantee in trading and it will be wise when traders carry out research and focus on how to make money from the market.

The process is always about analyzing the market, checking charts, using fundamental and technical analysis to get things done. Without this it will be very hard to make money from the crypto except you have a trading signal group that always gives signals in the market. The process can be very strenuous which can guarantee you becoming a successful trader when you follow rules.

There will be a lot of people on the internet trying to get you into some exchange with hopes of making good amount of money through trading. But in reality trading has never been an easy thing. This reality dawns much late  on most people and that is what the problem is.

For those who have been trading for sometime, they will avoid such people who are only here for the affiliate commission from your losses. Dont start trading because some freak on the internet told you to, try to learn it on your own first.
These people in particular are the ones that are making trading looks very easy to newbies while making them to subscribe to crypto exchanges by using their referral links. The market the process looks too easy so they can indirectly pasuade them to trade even when they don't have a complete understanding about the crypto market.
When the ignorant newbies finally get into trading, they start losing money and also complaining that trading is scam without accusing the people that made them to subscribe to their channels to learn little about trading.

Sometimes I just feel they should be at least considerate to some extent, because without the client approaching them, they would not have much job of recovering wallets, and for those reasons, it would be best to encourage the client as well because a job well done would have a good reference and referral for the organisation, which also helps in building portfolios and also fostering relationships amongst organisations and their client.
 Being considerate is also part of business and it's understandable when a client to take the person in charge that want to work with them in a way that can reach an agreement. Service fee should never be a problem for a person that always looking for clients that need their services.
There are some nitche that can be very hard to get clients especially when you don't have enough reputation for people to trust you and your brand business owners are failing in the aspect of build a recognized and confident brand that everyone would want to associate themselves with. Business understand with customers are very crucial to pave way for other customers in the closet.

Re: Which is more regrettable?

on 22/07/2025, 23:59:25 UTC
Let's say when gambling, you follow a specific pattern. Let us use lottery for example. You bet on the same specific set of numbers. What would be more regrettable? Betting on the same set of numbers for the rest of your life and not winning or... changing up the set you bet on only for your old set to win?

Basically, would you rather bet on the same thing again and again then regret not exploring more or explore different kinds of bets then miss out on a win?
What can of questions are these dude? These are very hard to answer looking at how hard it could be for your to totally back out from a specific pattern of gambling, maybe due to severe loses then, for you to realize that your previous pattern of gambling could have made you win huge profits from betting. This alone can be very annoying and heartbreaking if care is not taken. People are passing through shits and this shouldn't be when all these would be happening after so many practices, betting activities and efforts, then you noticed that everything became a big waste of time.

I taught the post would really spot out the solutions to gambling of which we are duly aware of, but talking about how a gambler can be responsible in his dealings without being addicted. On this note I'll say that gambling ain't the problem but rather we are our problem, we may not see it but everything proves it. So the solution to gambling is knowing the right thing to do as gambler to avoid loses, addictions etc.and it's consecutively things that are said on basis here in this forum.
Self discipline has been the problem of son many gamblers and that had been the reason why we have been seeing so many people become addicted to gambling for no tangible reason.
If anyone is serious about staying safe from gambling addiction, then they must be ready to be disciplined and gamble less. There are too many people that have seen gambling as a ponzi scheme, making them to think and feel like they can make huge amounts of money from gambling without spending much. That are the kind of people that are taking the wrong steps to hit jackpot at the same time become addictive to gambling.

Re: gambling in strict countries

on 22/07/2025, 23:43:56 UTC
keep in mind that gambling is also illegal in south korea. so my point is, everyone eventually finds a way.
You are absolutely correct that is the real truth about it. However, sometimes I used to wonder whether those government are doing the right thing, noing fully well that humans are always humans. Though, there is no how banning gambling in a country would easily work for everybody, it is quite obvious that gamblers would definitely going to look for a way to manover. Because even till now there are countries who is against Bitcoin and other things, but even as that people are still doing it in a coded way.
Banning gambling will lead to the popularity of illegal gambling platforms. Gamblers will always seek means to satisfy their craving for gambling. The use of VPN and other anonymity tools is common in such countries. But banning gambling will help to reduce the rate of new gamblers since there will be less advertising. And when gambling is not promoted it will not reach a large part of the population.
The government cannot take very strict decision here because gamblers can always use VPN to bypass fire walls and get into gambling. Banning gamblers from betting is not a good move by a country that has huge population. I think we all have the right to speech and freedom so banning  people to stop gambling should not be the problem of the government. The government have their role to play so as the people. By passing gambling restrictions has been what have been existing for many years now. There are so many good and sophisticated VPN we can use to bypass gambling restrictions without the government officials know what's going on.

Some service providers do charge up to 20% while some do charge lower depending on what could be available on the wallet. To me charging more than 20% is too much for a service retrieval to collect as fee. The fee can be stabled, not tagged to percentage of what could be on the wallet. If fee is determined by what is in the wallet, then there will be some retrieval services that will be earning close to $100k or more depending on what's available on the wallet address. This also might be lesser when fund in the wallet is below $1k.

It is okay to charge on percentage on what is available on the wallet but i will agree with you here that charging above 20% is way too high for the client to deal with irrespective of the fact that it is a recovery services. If the client did not seek their services, would they have had such opportunity to have such a percentage pay? In terms of a stable fee, that would be quite alright when not tagged to a particular percentage, it could be a fixed price based on standard and not too exorbitant to start with.  All things being equal, the price for charges should be moderate and if it will be cool to say this that the possibility of having a price range would  be alright based on what is in the wallet.

Eg;

               Amount Range                                Fee(%)     
              $100  -  $1000                                 10%
                $1000  -  $10,000                              8%
              $10,000 -  $20,000                              6%

Maybe something like the above example could be a good one to start with.

One person with one ticket can won $400. How lucky that person among the other people who also claimed free raffle ticket. We can be like that person with our lucky so we need to wait and still claim the ticket.

Until our time come to win the raffle, we can take our time to do many things, including playing so many gambling games in Rainbet. You can test your lucky in slot or other casino games and see the result.

Don't forget to claim your free raffle this week. You have your time now and wish you can be one of the winners.
Winning in a casino is all about luck and that is what gamblers need to understand about gambling. You need to keep trying for you to get a better and admirable result. I have used free bets to win multiple high profits which is because I always try new games to boast my knowledge and become accustomed to different games.

If there is a gambler that is not making anything reasonable from the use of free bets or raffles when betting, I will always advise them to stick to games that are familiar with so it can increase their chances of winning. I know some gamblers are very good at sport book while others might be casino games, any games we are good at should be our first choice when gambling.

Why would they take less compared to what they have to take for a service? I am not trying to argue for a less pay but all I'm trying to express is that some companies that are into this kind of services might decide to increase the fee more than what they ought to take especially when they know that the fund in that wallet is huge.
Since it is better to recover a lost fund with high fee than to leave it for the money to be forever lost, people would have no option than to look for every means and get their money even though it will cost them high fee.
I think there's nothing to argue here, they have a fee and I think is by percentage, so anyone saying that they have either lessen there pay or accept a reduced pay wouldn't be making sense at all, in as much we have stressed the genuity of this kind of services, individuals should understand that it is not an easy perform this kind of role, we are talking about wallet recovery which ordinarily every cryptocurrency enthusiasts undertand how important this particular aspect is to cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) in general, i wouldn't want to go much further on this, they have percentage they I think this percentage depends on the amount in the wallets thats been recovered, if there should be further negotiations on this, it should be with the organization and the clients involved.
Hey, no one is arguing about pay or for them to reduce their service fee so that more clients could see them as a good alternative, my major interest is if a service has affordable fee, there will be more clients than will patronize them than trying to have high fee that might not be affordable for those that don't have huge amounts in their wallets.
This is very clear and I don't mean to go off trying to tell anyone to reduce service fee. Not all wallets have the retrieval procedures, some will require extra effort to accomplish a complete retrieval why others might just require short procedures and everything will be done.

I recently hit a crazy multiplier x5601 on Sweet Bonanza. Just a small bonus buy and ended up winning $400 after the x1000 bomb dropped and hit. I’ve been enjoying it since then, though I don’t spend a lot of hours playing.

But ever since that win, it kinda feels like I’m slowly giving the money back. Been losing around $10 a day for the past week. I’m still in profit, but honestly, I’m starting to lose the excitement. The game doesn’t feel the same anymore.
That's why I don't just stick to one type of slot game, especially when it gives me a big win, then I usually move on to other types of slot games like Gates of Olympus, Mahjong, Destiny Megaways, Big Bass Bonanza, and including the games you mentioned that I often play, and there are several others that I didn't mention because I don't play as often as some of them. Therefore, I think it's good to try others so I can also get a new entertainment experience, and a little hope of getting a profit from the game, or at least getting interesting entertainment (the length of the game there, in the sense that it's not that short).
Slot games can be fun but we also need to know the edge so we just don't keep spending money to bet and not seeing anything reasonable. It is not always easy to win the house especially when betting on casino games.
I have tried many dice bets on different casinos and the chances of winning can be very low. Although you might be winning initially but with time, you will be surprised that the winning is reduced as you can start seeing loses gradually. It is good we know games that are very profitable and the ones that is less profitable for us. Not all casino games would be profitable for us.

hahah that is a funny question, obviously it goes to the pocket of the casino?? But! Due to forum pressure, protecting public image, etc etc
a lot of casinos would eventually let the user get that money regardless. But, if the wrong doing of the user is severe, the casino is keeping that money,
maybe in good gesture they might reimburse the initial deposit, but not guaranteed!
The money will be in the casino especially if that is a scam casino. They will not let their members get their money and will not give an answer to their questions. Maybe the casino hold the fund because casino found something suspicious with their members. So they need to check everything before they process the next thing. But if that a good casino, they will let their members get their money after the checking finish.

That is why you need to research before you choose the casino. That will help you to stay away from a scam casino.

You are absolutely right, there is too many scam casinos out there which people sign up for without doing any research on them before doing so!
What a big mistake! Thankfully, a lot of people can view forums like this one and then see ratings of good, reputable sportsbooks that wont do scams to users.
People must be educated on good sportsbooks.
Anybody that is not ready to do research before using a new casino is doing that on his own risk. There are too many casinos currently and majority are good while others are not taking any chances at all for your to win the house. Some would ban your account while some could accuse you of cheating with no evidence. Since they hold your money, you won't be able to do anything rather than to complain and when no tangible answer is giving to you, you will have no option than to leave the casino while they are holding your funds. We ought to be very careful what casino we are using to bet.
