Compared with offline Casino and online Casino that requires KYC, I think offline or land-based casino gives more anonymity and privacy to a gambler than an online casino that requires KYC. The reason why I think land based casino is much more anon and private is because the securities of land base Casino don't ask us to submit KYC or present ID when we are playing at their establishment. Except of course for some special cases,

The special case here is that whenever one wins a big gamble or gets a jackpot he has to compulsorily do KYC in the casino. Be it land based or online based. Because a gambler with large payouts needs different information not only for the casino but also to follow different government regulations of that country. However, land-based casinos usually offer more opportunities than online casinos. I agree with you that land base casinos are safer for gamblers than online casinos.

I've not been in a traditional casino for a long time but afaik they are already asking for IDs before a customer can go inside. But the fact that your face is seen and you are on thier cameras the whole time, that's not being anonymous. Every one is checked whenever you go inside a building. A person with a young-looking face will be asked to present an ID. If you are a regular gambler I guess the guards can just let you.

In the wild western movies which I think also show history where card tables are inside the salon or a whorehouse, people have to surrender thier weapons before going inside. That's kind of a KYC.

I agree, casinos are probably the businesses which have the most cameras, I will venture to say they even have more cameras around than banks and that is saying something, so anyone that thinks they have more privacy in a traditional casino are wrong, also while people complain about having to identify themselves after a big win at an online casino the truth is that the same applies to traditional casinos, and just as their online counterparts if they think there was something fishy about your win then they will investigate more thoroughly and maybe they will refuse to pay you.

Gambling is for the people who really likes an all or nothing game. A game betting everything you got! Just remember, gambling can change your life, what I mean is gambling can be addicting that can lead to debt that makes the gambler desperate to bet almost everything that went wrong. Always remember play for fun.

remember when we start gambling for fun , someday we will addicted and maybe could not stop. alot gamblers start only for fun , but when they got loss or profits slowly they trapped in this circle. curious when losses and passion to recover make gamblers drop dipper till finally they understand want have no more to start as balance.

It doesnt have to be all or nothing, I disagree there is a whole range of bets and strategies possible that are more slight then all or nothing. Poker is very much patience and observance of others in order to win on odds that are never exactly known but guessed hence the gamble but its quite slight not all or nothing imo. I realize poker often comes down to that face off situation but the opposite of carefully accumulating bets and luck is there also; I will argue this is true with all betting to some extent you can be careful also.

Some people see gambling as an opportunity to seek fun and get entertained themselves and also there's some people see the gambling as one of the source of income which is the reason why people keep having trouble for being greedy to earn more instead they are getting enjoyed they got tons of stress just to earn a lot and wasting a lot of money and effort. Gambling, the first place, must need to know the player. It is a risk with half chance of winning, and not all the time gambling can hit a good shot of profit. It is better if you always play consciously with your decision-making.

Time moves very fast and we just needed to have some of the history of gambling in our head so that as a good gambler we cam tell our friends and growing ones about the origin of gambling so that at least we can look like a knowledgeable person before them.

Lol, if you do that you'll get busted if your audience started to question you for additional information about the gambling history. Don't ever try to look cool or knowledgeable in front of other people if you knowledge is very limited. It always end up not good. Grin

There is one solution though, just have your mobile phone within you and open the gambling history wiki and rely on your best friend google for additional information.

Quote from: ?? on ??

Gambling is not easy but we just have to ensure we face our own part and do the best to making good profits whether strategy or no strategy.

Gambling is easy, easy to access, and easy to play, it is easier than way back eons ago when one has to walk or travel miles before one can engage in gambling. It is easy because in one touch we can be able to play and access it anytime and anywhere with the help of technology. But it is also easy to get hooked and addicted to it so yeah, we should do our part in order to constraint ourselves and have discipline while engaging in gambling activities.

I had been in a different casino, and the security maybe lapse in my country because any adult can enter the casino after some security check but they do not ask for any identification document. Of course if the security suspected a person to be a minor then they have to ask him of his Identification card to prove that the person isn't a minor at all.

One can easily give KYC in casino if it is jackpot. Isn't it.
I would do it. For sure! If it is real jackpot and the casino is authentic. And of course because of online scamming and fraud we trust more real casinos than online

Nothing beats out on land-based casino when it comes to security since you could really make actual dealings and interaction.Whenever you do hit up some jackpot then you would definitely getting those on point.

For online casinos, i have seen platforms which doesnt really ask out for any information and directly make those withdrawal to be processed no matter how big the amount is.This is what other platforms makes them

more popular compared into those sites who are stricter when it comes payouts or withdrawals on big amounts.There are still some casinos that exists today which does still remain
on being non-hassle and that what makes them the favorite.

I'm not sure about privacy and anonymity because gambling platform now is gearing towards KYC.

Online Casinos especially fiat casino had already geared to KYC a long time ago, but because of the emergence of Crypto Casino, gamblers had his moment where we don't need to submit KYC because the government by then doesn't know much and isn't interested in cryptocurrency. The government took notice of it when lots of scam companies that exploit cryptocurrency and many of its citizen fell victim to it is recorded and many of these scam company make use of the crypto platform to launder those money. So anonymity and privacy in crypto casino is about to become a history of the past now. We should enjoy it while it last. Cheesy

But I do agree that it's a very different sensation all along, if you just played all alone at the comfort of your living room, of course when you win big, it's going to be different as compare to lets say that you are in land base as many players will see that you win the jackpot or something. That's one gambling evolves with the advent of internet gaming.

This is one of the ascent games that still an existence. I loved this game in those days, we used to play it in the fishing camps to pass time. most time we played it in the day time then when night we switched over to story telling and puzzle falk tales. We calls it "WATT" and that is the name written at the back of the paper.
Historically there are lot of games played in the olding days that are not played in this 21st century. This new generational children have forgotten most of the ascent games unless the child come from a family that loves ascent things. There was gamble we used to played in 90s. We Bet on 5 Cabin Biscuits that is one person would eat the 5 biscuits and another person to run or paddle a canoe across the river and come back again. And saying was that. "THE PERSON WHO WAS EATING BISCUITS WOULD NOT FINISHED IT BEFORE THE PERSON WHO IS RUNNING OR PADDLING WOULD RETURN". And really if the person could finished eaten the biscuits the other person has won so he would take the bet.

Indeed, there are lots of variation of card game aside from poker and blackjack, we have here a card game that used to be famous in our community, the tong-its and pusoy dos. These was the pass time of people in my neighborhood when they have nothing to do. A friendly game that can be played with money bet or a fun game among friends where the loser drink a glass of water, or got painted with soot.

The latest technology has a huge impact on the growth and changes in the world of gambling. We can now gamble freely whenever and wherever we want without anyone controlling or even noticing us. Most of us want to keep our gambling journey private so it will be convenient to use online casinos if that's our preference. The service is still the same and we can also play comfortably even with just the use of our mobile gadgets.

Online gambling services make it very easy for gamblers to bet anywhere without time restrictions, support the privacy factor because we can keep gambling secret to anyone without suspicion, but online gambling still has its drawbacks because we cannot enjoy the sensation of crowds such as physical gambling places, face to face with bettors, see hot girl and i really miss physical gambling.

I'm not sure about privacy and anonymity because gambling platform now is gearing towards KYC.

But I do agree that it's a very different sensation all along, if you just played all alone at the comfort of your living room, of course when you win big, it's going to be different as compare to lets say that you are in land base as many players will see that you win the jackpot or something.

Before the advent of online gambling, when people gambled in physical casinos, many people could understand the sad look on the gambler's face if he lost. Sometimes that situation was also a matter of great concern for someone . But the current state of gambling has improved a lot. People now gamble but on one can doubt it he is gambling or not. So now gambling has become much safer and accessible.

In earlier days, if people gambled, it would be revealed, everyone could understand and know. But now, if someone gambles, no one can see it. However, I think the system in which gambling is played now is fine. From the previous days, everyone can get good opportunities by gambling. But now there are many types of gambling sites that we can gamble on.

It is absolutely true that now even an avid gamer who loses almost all his money is difficult to distinguish from an ordinary person.

I have one of my relatives was such a gamer for many years. And I only realized this when I learned about his passion for gambling from his wife. By the way, she did not know what to do with this addiction. And how to help your husband heal this addiction. At first she simply scolded him, then she realized that she could not cope with the disease. But, oddly enough, he managed to overcome this addiction himself. And now he lives well. But he doesn't gamble at all. He never even looks at the game of other players. If he had not played online, just by his appearance,
I think everyone would have known about his addiction much earlier.

Without a doubt this is one of the aspects which makes gambling addiction so difficult to identify, when it comes to alcohol or other addictions related to restricted substances it is easy to see there is a problem with the person by just looking at them, but in the case of gambling addiction it is almost impossible to see if there is something wrong unless you can take a look at the banking statements of the addicted, and when we add that now you can gamble from the comfort of your own home then this is making gambling addiction more difficult to identify at its earlier stages.

I had a friend that used to be an introvert, he doesn't join us in conversations but it doesn't mean that he doesn't enjoy the conversations. When we discuss odds and betting he will keep mute and other of my friends were not happy at that as they see him pretending to be a Saint. Whenever we have winnings we will announce and go drinking with part of the money. Unknown to us that our introvert friend bets online and wins big.
He called me one day and showed to be, I was very shocked and then I kept it to myself without letting the other of my friends know. Online gambling can actually save you alot and including privacy.

Online gambling gives the privacy than any other form of gambling. This happens everywhere and I too have done it. Not as a saint, but I used to give advice to stay within the limits. The funny part, the same day my loss will be higher than the one I give advice. As they don't know I was into gambling they take it good. If they know about my gambling activity, surely they'll have a negative thought on me.

Online gambling is now more popular and has found a place for gamblers so that they can play gambling by hiding their identity.
Maybe some of our close friends have never played gambling but who knows, they play gambling and can win more than us and especially if they play online gambling.
That's what keeps gambling history going well, and even if they use online gambling, we will never know how their experience was.
And when we also use online gambling, it might be better if we don't tell many people to maintain our privacy.

Maybe those who experienced the defeat could show their sad expression in front of their friends so they would know that their friend had lost in gambling.
The people will eventually know those who hide in gambling.
But nowadays, people who experience defeat online gambling will not easily show their expression of losing in front of others and can hide it from others.
And that is what makes gambling transform from physical gambling to online gambling.

Without a doubt the Internet has changed our lives and this includes gambling, but at least to me the main factor why I prefer online gambling is simply the cost, gambling at a physical casino is too expensive as you have to overpay for everything like transportation, parking fees, drinks, food and you have not even began to gamble yet, and as we know the minimum bet at casinos is very high, while at online casinos, especially cryptocurrency casinos, the minimum bet is very low.

And also energy, you'll have to exert effort going there and you don't know if you're going to come home with the wins or you're already expecting to come home with nothing.
Many have preferred to gamble online these days because it's very convenient and it's part of the history when there have been rush into the physical casinos and it's known for a place where men can enjoy gambling and as well as meet girls that they'll have fun together.
Well, it's a different story nowadays and I agree to you that minimum bet is really low and affordable.

Another problem with regular casinos is their customers as well, in the past I remember enjoying the company of other gamblers as they were educated people that had very nice conversations skills and you could even make friends there, but things have changed since then and now at least where I live the average person going to the casino is not really someone that you may be too willing to become friends with, so this is yet another advantage that online casinos have over regular ones.

I had a friend that used to be an introvert, he doesn't join us in conversations but it doesn't mean that he doesn't enjoy the conversations. When we discuss odds and betting he will keep mute and other of my friends were not happy at that as they see him pretending to be a Saint.

He called me one day and showed to be, I was very shocked and then I kept it to myself without letting the other of my friends know. Online gambling can actually save you alot and including privacy.

If you are one of the few players which can obtain profits when you gamble then without a doubt online gambling can help you retain your privacy and keep some unsavory people away from you, while I am not one of those players as you can guess sometimes I got lucky and I was very happy when that was the case, but as soon as that happened some people at the casino immediately began asking for money or drinks, and this was very upsetting as I had no relation to those people and they just wanted to get some of my money for themselves.
