Да даже в идеале и жена/муж не должны знать сколько крипты у сабжа.

Если нет доверия, то зачем вообще такие муж или жена? А если доверие есть, то незнание в виду незаинтересованности это нормально, но в случае непредвиденных обстоятельств это риск потери доступа: подскользнулся на улице, упал, ударился головой, вылетело из неё всё о том, как правильно восстановить сид из своих тайных мест, и всё, вся крипта потеряна, а как раз на восстановление здоровья деньги бы очень пригодились. Хорошо, когда муж или жена это и правда семья, а не просто на словах. Undecided

Правильнее сказать тогда муж/жена должны знать какими финансам располагает другая половина, но доступа к ним не иметь. Иначе есть соблазн траты средств второй половины, скажем при наступлении конфликта. Но идеально наверно в целом просто знать размеры заработка и всё. Иначе крупные денежные средства станут инструментом манипуляции. Это убережёт от "хочу на Мальдивы завтра, у нас ведь много денег" или от "ты все деньги тратишь на косметику и процедуры".

Re: Would you allow your underage kid to use your detail for KYC after a big win.

But if your child comes to you and say "Dad, I have won in a lottery, why dont you go and collect a million that I have won for us", you would go and take money, instead of acting that you are disappointed for your child gambling activity and leaving prize at casino.

Here is another example. Everyone know that a lottery is a form of gambling. Many food and beverages retails constantly create lotteries with bicycle, playstation, vacation. Idea of such gambling is buy more products, increase chances to win. I dont think that parent would mind providing his details to get a prize from such lottery.

Everyone is going to act to be decent online but the reality all parent will go and take the money first because money is everything. The highest the parent is going to do is to warn the child and that's it. The generation of parents that we even have now don't care about the things their child do not to even talk about money that is involved. They will gladly take that money and might even encourage the children to gamble more if they can make a million from a jackpot.

I don't care about the quantity of the amount the child won, I will clearly stand for him or her to get the money maybe after that we can talk about breaking the rules about gambling. No way my kid will gamble without my knowledge, if they do that means they did it in my absence and will answer the reason why they do it. The thing is that it look kind of nothing until your kids don't want to do anything about life again except for gambling that's when the parent will know it's a very bad thing.

That what I have been said previously, no matter what people post here, they will take money anyway. They will even feel happy about that, and with high probability be proud, that their child is so young, and already brink money to family.

I am no difference, I would help my child to obtain the prize. But then I would figure out the details how he managed to win. If its from participating in a lottery, organize by brand, then its ok. If its from gambling, I would let use money only when turning 18 or will take full control of those money management.

Alcohol and gambling can be very addictive for people who lack self control, that is why a lot of negativity is attributed to both. In my country alcohol and gambling adverts are in strategic locations for many people to see them, they're both also online and on TV. If I want to compare between gambling and alcohol the one that is more harmful and it's addiction can be very damaging than the other I'd say that it's alcohol. Gambling addiction will make you to be broke and always emotional but alcohol addiction will mass with your mind, when you're under it's influence, it takes control of your senses. Alcohol addiction can cause many health challanges which gambling addiction cannot cause.

From my point of view, its harder to get addiction to alcohol, when gambling makes people addicted much easier. The gap between "I can not see my day without alcohol" and "one more drink and I will feel sick" is huge. While gap between playing once or rarely and becoming addicted gambler is only one really big win away. Or gambling can make you broke in a second, while it takes months or years for alcohol to mess persons mind.

Has anyone thought, that choosing gambling as a professional, a person voluntarily refuses from such things as paid vacation, pension, career growth, stability? Even though its sound professional gambler, what is the difference from a decent gambler? Luck and random works the same. Professional gambler only gambles more often, or we might even say that under word professional hides the word addicted.

During gambling i can forget my small loss quickly probably it took only a few days but for big loss unfortunately i cannot forget it although it was happened few years ago it because this loses make me stress out and i got the trauma even i still remember the amount of money i have loss and the game which i played at that time but the difference is currently i can accept the reality that those loses is not more than a bad luck and i can learn from my previous mistakes

Dont you find it great that you can not forget your bad experience and it saves you from repeating same mistake; a mistake or choosing wrong size of a bet/being to confident/fact that you have used to big  amount to gamble that it stresses you? You will forget that stressful moment only when you will have a more stressful one, making your lost best kind of a protection, a barrier.

How to quickly forget a loss - make a much bigger loss. I dont think that losses should be forgotten. Its experience, valuable experience. Unforgotten losses mush sober up gambler from taking reckless decisions in gambling. Huge losses should try to stop greed, as they must remind that a person can quickly raise and quickly fall.

For me main danger of becoming a professional gambler is an unpredictable future. If I work on a regular job, or I am an employer, I have risks, but my far future and old age are protected by taxes and pension. In some way, I get support from government. Becoming a professional gambler for me is risking a life. I risk during gambling, additionally I risk with my future and additionally I risk if I have a family. For me this is too much risk in exchange for only a chance of success.

You have a point on that. But that's if a gambler will only focus on being a professional gambler. I bet there are those who also have a day job while also gambling in their free time.

I agree that there's no future in doing it mainly. There's no pension, but there are taxes. There's no income tax retur,n but gambling is still taxable. Then, you will have to save a lot of money so that you will have something in case you retire from doing it. I mean, there's always a time that our mental state will deteriorate and I don't think it's healthy to still gamble at that point or we are just going to lose more without thinking clear.

I dont believe that it is possible to be good at both, be a professional gambler and show best performance at work. Imo those who call themselves professional gambler, dont do anything besides gambling. Professional gambler not only means that a person earns with gambling, but also means that his funds are deposited, invested, spinning around gambling. With that, its close to impossible to save for money for retirement. All the money that gambler save are always his backup plan for losses in gambling.

That's what am trying to explain since some people thinks that alcohol doesn't have much addictive effect like gambling, maybe they don't know how some people have become addicted to alcohol that they get drunk every day and night. A drunk can not even think properly or manage anything like a business or job. I remember the first night I got so drunk, I broke the screen of my phone that night and also hide the phone under my mattress, when I woke up the next day was around 12pm with a severe head ache, first I started looking for my phone without remembering what happened the previous night. When I finally found the phone, it was damaged in a way I had no memory about. So, being addicted to alcohol can really be bad.
If am to choose between gambling and alcohol addiction, i will choose gambling addiction. Both are evil but gambling is lesser evil compare to drinking addiction. Alcohol do not only destroy your finance, it also destroy your health, cause you more pain. The funny part of alcohol addiction is that even if you do not have money, there are people willing to buy for you. But in gambling no one will give you money to go and play gamble, you play with your money and when you are broke you stop. no one will give you free bet.

i stop taking alcohol at my 30th year birthday.  when i was taking alcohol do drink responsibly i only got drunk once. I always stop at my level, if am drinking beer i wont exceed three bottles. I apply same method to my gambling , once the spare cash finishes am done gambling. Nothing will make me borrow money or touch my saving. One must be guided, drink and play gamble with your head.

For me gambling problems are more serious problems than drinking. Drinking is easier to control. A person might drink a whole bottle, but then, at some point, he will feel so seek, that he will stop, and for the next couple of days, dont think about drinking at all. Those who started gambling, its more problematic to stop. Winning causes to continue, losing causes to recover lost money and is a same continuation. Moreover, when you cant gamble physically anymore (tired), a few hours of sleep make you be able to continue. You have said that alcohol destroy finances, but gambling does the same faster and in a shorter period.

As a parent to the child, can you allow the child to use your details to pass KYC verification, if asked? And if you do that, does it also mean that you are supporting underage gambling?

Is there a parent that will allow his child to pass KYC verification for the purpose to gamble. I don't think any parent will knowingly allow it as it will also put their identity at risk.

A caring parent will never support underage gambling or even allow his child to learn it. Children at their young age tend to make more reckless decision than those who are adults already. They are more prone to gambling addiction so as a parent, it's up to us to guide them to not get into gambling.

But if your child comes to you and say "Dad, I have won in a lottery, why dont you go and collect a million that I have won for us", you would go and take money, instead of acting that you are disappointed for your child gambling activity and leaving prize at casino.

Not sure if this is called gambling addiction, but once I was greedy to pay for Netflix subscription, so I used to gamble to win $8-10 per month to pay for Netflix to be able to say that I watch it for free. It was a moment, when I tried to cover tiny monthly expenses with gambling wins. $8-10 is not a huge amount, I can easily pay that, but the fact of getting something for free was motivating me to do make a deposit and play low risk gambling. Btw, it all ended as usually, a loss and understanding that I should stop doing that.

Re: Why some countries gamble more than the others?

Is it fair to assume that a better economy and a solid framework will make people gamble more but be addicted less? This is the source, by the way.

You have said truth yourself, the better economy has country, the more «free to use» money their citizens have. From the article and picture in it, we should cross out USA and Macau, because of Las Vegas and licenses, these countries will always be in top among gambling. Rest countries that are on the picture are counties with most powerful economy. I know that for UK is already part of a culture to place a bet on football, sports betting is so developed there, that they have places to place a bet almost on every street. Also we can go to a religion. It matters a lot. Not a single country with Islam religion mentioned in that article.

Have you noticed that some posters purposed punishment, limitation or something of that kind to a underaged kid who had a big win. Why punish a child, when its parents fault that let underaged to gamble, its their fault that they havent paid enough attention to what their child is doing. Parents are responsible for their children fully until they turn 18. Punish yourself instead.

Re: Economic differences between older and younger generation

on 21/07/2025, 20:55:42 UTC
The younger generation seems to prioritize a work life balance that is why a lot of them only work from home or work only as freelance.

I have noticed, that younger generation that work 9 to 5, at 5:01 are already not in the office. Whenever something require spending extra, that is never paid, they leave it for tomorrow, even though it will them 5-10min to do. I have faced numerous times when it would be great if something is done today/now, so I could continue me work, answers « I have already turned off my pc» at 4:58-4:59. Those extra 5 minutes at work wont change anything in their life. They will spend them in queue waiting for coffee on a way home anyway. If not paid, they wont stay for extra minute at work. They dont have that feeling of team spirit, and rarely aim for promotion (maybe they think instead of working hard now, they better work for 10 years 5 to 9 and get promotion automatically).

No - in fact from the start I would not allow him to gamble or try to gamble, so that kind of case will not happen. I don't want to be another person who allows their underage children to gamble instead of preventing it. Underage gambling is prohibited and should not be done under any circumstances - but perhaps some parents might consent to KYC documents if there's a large win waiting to be withdrawn.

I am not trying to make you look bad, but if turns that your child has won a million, I think you would change your mind and give him your details for KYC verification. I think everyone would do so. Speaking for myself - I would give my data to pass KYC and withdraw a big win. But, if that success was achieved without me knowing about it (gambled secretly) then I would get really angry and figure out a punishment. Probably I would hold that big win until child turns 18+. I think that would be fair.

Or, celebrities are what helps something to get more recognition. Not many might know about Rollbit and might not even get interested in that casino, but if people see celebrity use Rollbit for gambling, they will get interested and might even want to try it. I see nothing bad when celebrities advertise something, because we are so used to a small number of products and services, that we barely try any other, which might happen to be useful, profitable, good.

You’re right, celebrities or influencers usually have a decent number of followers based on their popularity and some of them is not into gambling until they saw it to their idol and get an idea to try gambling for fun.

Influencers is the most popular now as tool for casino promotion because they can show case the casino through live stream by playing it themselves and give bonuses to lucky followers.

I value when celebrities try to be honest or natural. I dont like when celebrities try to advertise everything their manager agreed to advertise. Its so fake to see when a celebrity upload a video where he/she says that this is the only drink they drink, cosmetics use, food eat and only play on that casino, when this casino looks like recently registered. Its so fake to see celebrity say that Nissan Juke is the best car, when he drives lambo. Its so fake to see celebrity advertise each week new casino and call it as best. I am not against new product try to get noticed on the market, but that products advertisement should look natural.

I dont see how banning solves any problem generally. It limits from something only those who are lazy. However, people are very creative. Once they are used to something, its hard for them to stop and they will put maximum effort to get what they have lost. Ban gambling and illegal gambling will increase. Try to ban illegal gambling and people would travel abroad to spend their money and support economy of other country.

Has anyone tried to compare, what gives more variety? Card games, betting, slots (even though they are all the same and only have different game design) vs alcohol drinks, cocktails, all the taste and ingredients it contain and provide. I only try to understand, what will become boring first, from what a person will become fed up faster.  I think with alcohol, you can try new drink more often than find a unique gambling game. For addiction, it makes drinking more explorative than addicting.

The experience of gambling is truly a fascinating one and it is unrealistic to compare it with drinking alcohol. I enjoy gambling more than drinking alcohol because gambling gives me pleasure and sometimes my pleasure increases many times with winning. The moment of losing hurts but a win can make you forget the moment of losing before.

Drinking alcohol causes physical damage along with financial loss but I drink on various occasions and when I spend time with friends. I mostly refrain myself from drinking to avoid mental depression and further financial loss due to intoxication. I feel more comfortable in gambling because the joy of winning is combined with entertainment.

You know, with alcohol, it is easier to tell yourself stop when you have already started. There are moments when you physically can not even get in more liquid inside of stomach. With gambling, there are no moments when you can stop. Wins and losses always stimulate to continue. Both activities can force a person to come back, but alcohol sessions can not be endless, non-stop. Alcohol limitations also work well to decrease addiction. In some countries alcohols stops selling after 10 in the evening, or dont sell at weekends at all. With gambling its a non-stop activity. Gambling is more dangerous.
