Don't think everyone posting here are addicted to gambling or do gambling more often. Most of them post omly for complying with their signature requirements.

I see so many people here throw their money away at these online casinos.

Well, some do afford it. And for the one playing only the amounts he affords it's a great way to spend time, you can't deny it.
Some spend tiny amounts (sometimes from faucets or received from winners) hoping for the big hit. Most of what those spend is time. You have to comprehend that one can wager even 1 satoshi, much less than at a traditional casino.
Of course, there are also addicts. Those are the ones with a big problem. And those need our attention, understanding and, most of all, help (of course, not with more money to gamble).
But how many? I don't know... I hope not that many...

1 satoshi is still money however. Remember that saying "a satoshi saved is a satoshi earned". I understand that most crypto investors are taking a risk, but remember crypto is the way of the future. One bitcoin may be worth trillions 30 years from now,
There's a good logic there mate, same thing with savings, if you can save s single penny instead of wasting it then it can turned to something big after some years, those who can afford losing their money around are also thinking that what if they win they can easily doubled their money in a short period of time, sadly that's also the big reason why there's a lots of gambling addicts as principle in life has been like this.

If this forum were embracing drug addiction, don't you think it wouldn't look as good?
I would not put drugs and gambling on the same page.

Once you are a drug addict you are harming your body and mind. You are taking substance but a gambling addict is harming his mind. The physical affect is less here.

You can not take drug just for fun but you can gamble for fun.

Anyway, there will be many more difference. Point is gambling addict and drug addict is not the same in my eyes.
yes, we must distinguish between gambling and drug addicts. if some gambling addicts lose a lot of money, they are less exposed to the risk of mental damage. but drug addicts are more at risk of developing mental illness, because the price is expensive and he must always use it.

I have never seen any place, real life or online, embrace gambling as much as this forum has. A little bit of gambling is okay but when you do it with the hope of making money it becomes a problem. The house ALWAYS wins. I see so many people here throw their money away at these online casinos.

I just banned myself from the casino IRL yesterday after losing $40 at Blackjack. I got 18, and the dealer got 20. See? It doesn't matter how good you are at the game, the odds are always stacked against you.

If you only play in the casino and realize the house always wins, why don't you try sportsbook gambling? Your decision to ban yourself from gambling is good, but when you still support gambling with using a casino signature, I don't think it looks good. Gambling depends on how you control everything well, when you play with money that you can't lose, then you should be aware of it and you don't have to continue to gamble. But when gambling is only played with money that can be lost and for fun, I think gambling is not a problem for your finances and life because you are free to leave whenever you want, different from drugs that are difficult to avoid when you become an addict.

You still adverise a gambling site so i think we really do but of course, this is just a marketing strategies of every company it is still your choice whether to play or not. There are so many gambling players around the world, and this forum is just another place to know more about gambling and it doesn’t mean you’re an addictz

Why are you comparing drug addiction into gambling addiction? there's more danger that one can encounter with drug addiction than gambling addiction.

but from what I have seen, people seem to love gambling, even if they loose.
It's the reality that people here loves to gamble and the feature that crypto's are offering to the devs/operators are very different from the usual fiat gambling that we have as we grow. No one would love to lose and everyone has his/her own determination to take back what has been lost(in gambling).

Well , if you conclude with that, it can stand as your opinion but I don't think it is really correct to adduce that. I would have you know that gambling is peculiar to people generally these days because people are looking for source of income or additional means of money. So that is the real fact both online and physically, it is not only peculiar to the forum.

Addiction depends on each and every person mind set and his interest and also the attraction from the gambling show the mistakes when we are getting addicted is always from ourside so if we get more attachment with gambling it will definitely be addictive and we cannot definitely control it easily.

Illegal is illegal except gambling where it has some exception to some countries so I wouldn't put drug addiction on this forum because it is on a different genre. Well, as you can see there are lots of gamblers here but those gamblers were just a fraction of the world population. Just accept the fact that gambling is always a part of our life, as you said you were once addicted to it then you just ban yourself to any casino because you will never win versus with the house.

You may be right. But keep in mind that crypto investors have already the mindset for risk taking. Gambling is just one (irrational?) step forward.

A little bit of gambling is okay but when you do it with the hope of making money it becomes a problem.

You are not the only one writing this. I do too in many occasions. Also the top casinos write to "play responsibly".

To be honest, I haven't read every single post in this section, but from what I have seen, people seem to love gambling, even if they loose.
There's a ton of gamblers online because the minimum bet is lower than an irl casino and you don't have to spend a dollar to win big. Others become addicted because they have too much time on their hands and couldn't get a hold of themselves whenever they start losing.

They aren't addicts, if they were then you won't see them on forum more often. Most of them are just pretenders and many of them are only here to meet their post count.
I agree most of the time you'll see them on a gambling site's chatbox and sometimes brag about their winning/losing bets.

Also some casinos even have their own self exclusion feature.

Well, the number of forum members are getting larger and well in fact that there are a lot of categories we need to consider.
Gamblers in the forum are getting larger today because dApps are so much promising that they don't need to go the casino to play and bet. Honestly, these people are so much into the gambling the only thing is that cryptocurrency does not offer a great gambling platform before and the gamblers focused on trading and volatility of bitcoin. But today, the online casino is getting more matured and it is enough to convince people to gamble online.

It always depend in yourself mate. If you just play to make yourself happy, relieve your stress, or just to unwind yourself its not bad at all. But if you are playing because you depend your future in winning maybe you have to think very well. Dont depend on the game of Luck because not everyday is Christmas day. Cheers Smiley

I have posted in this section a few times before criticizing gambling and like before, I was criticized for the sig I'm wearing. I already said this once, but it seems everyone missed it so I will say it again.

I joined the signature campaign because it was the only campaign available.

It just goes to show how truly this forum is addicted to gambling. I see so many advertisements for casinos here, every second or third programming job I get is for a casino and so forth.

I only associate myself with casinos here because they are so rampant on this forum.

To be honest, I haven't read every single post in this section, but from what I have seen, people seem to love gambling, even if they loose.

All people who posts on this board are not gambling addicts. I agree that there are people who are broke and mentally disturbed because of gambling addiction. I am a gambler and not an addict. Mostly, i look for promos, tournaments, bonus and challenges that run by different casino platforms. Its been beneficial to me and I am sure that there are people like me on this forum. If this forum were promoting drugs, I won't be a part of it.

You are wearing a casino signature Smiley

It's so awkward to see one wearing a signature and at the same time not promoting it. As a gambler i had the opportunity to promote many casinos website even though not an addict of gambling. There has been threads about ways of handling gambling addiction in the forum and cautions has been given in most of the gambling threads.

Here people talk more than they gamble, it`s a first thing, second is that most of the gamblers from this forum gamble with free money, or money made here on forum or some other site, service, rarely people give money from their pocket to gamble. You can notice that in their comments about gambling. Many of us here advertised gambling sites, just some of us actually gambled a lot with higher bets than 1 satoshi.

Truly I will never understand why this place offers up gambling as a legitimate way to increase your holdings like it's some type of fun Saturday job.

If people want to set their money on fire then fine. They ain't getting any sympathy from me.


I would not put drugs and gambling on the same page.

Once you are a drug addict you are harming your body and mind. You are taking substance but a gambling addict is harming his mind. The physical affect is less here.

Anyway, there will be many more difference. Point is gambling addict and drug addict is not the same in my eyes.

Problem gambling breeds lies, theft, suicide, and ruins lives. Just like drugs funnily enough.

There's plenty of people who can take it or leave it but the normalisation of gambling in recent years must have fucked up millions of lives that would otherwise have been untouched by it.

What can you expect then?

this is a Gambling section by the way so it's normal for people to talk about their techniques and stories about gambling.

If you'll go to the casino in real life you will also see people that are gambling, right?
