Yeah this forum runs on the casinos because the two major ways to spend your bitcoins are casinos and exchanges with the first one having the bigger share, even without the numbers being quoted.

So you have a lot of casinos with their campaigns running and most of them having posting quotas in the Gambling sections and hence you see such.

But that a no-brainer for a user who has been on this forum for six years now only that the OP woke up recently Roll Eyes

I check " Show unread posts since last visit." and 80% there is advertising some gambling or bets services , does it so popular here ?
Not just being popular is the reason, casino is one of the very few places where people actually use bitcoin and other cryptos for it's actual purpose. Also there was another thread which kind of similar to this discussed why only casino related products are more here and what I read most of the replies suggest that it has restrictions on many platforms so casino utilizes the bitcointalk as perfect place to advertise their products as well as build their brand value by doing various activities.

You might have gotten the answers to your question by now, but I would consider adding little to it.
Well, the main reason why there's lots of gambling posts is probably because almost all the active posters are advertising a casino signature campaign. And the other reason is because there is no more mixer on the forum. But I do suggest that you check different boards, maybe you can find other discussions you be interested in.

I am quite convinced that few people even read such discussions.

I did not get this tone.
Did you mean you are convinced that only few people read these discussion, or did you mean not many people them? Whatever you meant, we both agree that people can run away by writing almost anything on gambling boards. Because not everyone read their nonsense posts. People mostly post what has happened in the match and how scored what (which everyone knows).

I ask people not to post the scorecards only, but to do discuss some unknown facts which could be interesting. If I remember correctly, JSRAW merited that post a long time ago. I only found a couple of quality poster on Gambling boards including Haunebu and JSRAW.

You can’t change that because campaign managers running gambling signature campaigns will always hire users who are active in the gambling section. That’s just how business works - you don’t promote what you don’t understand.
I don't want to change anything. All I know is, I don't have to post all my 25 posts in gambling section to get my signature payment. My campaign only requires me to write five posts out of 25 which is 20% of my weekly posts. That should be enough. But when people writing 20 posts in gambling section but the campaign requires only 5, then they are doing it because it is easy to spam there. I know there are some exceptions, there are some people who purely love gambling and write posts in those sections. But they maintain the quality of their posts.

Because the forum has a large gambling section, even as big as some sports forums. There is sports betting every day and betting with Bitcoin has become very popular all over the world. The companies that advertise here mostly ask for posts to be written in the Gambling section. It has been the most active section of the forum. If advertisers wanted to talk about Politics & Society and paid for it, it would get the most posts. If you remove signature campaigns, 90% of the activity on the forum would disappear.

No I am not gambler,  I am crypto marketer, doing marketing for shitcoins , and remember when I checked BCT before it was about ICO, Bitcoin and marketing, now it like a total casino advertising platform.

The forum is still about Bitcoin, you just need to visit specific sections for each piece of information. "Show unread posts since last visit" shows you a mixture of posts from all the sections, so you can't judge the forum only based on that. There is no doubt that there are a lot of casinos that are promoted and are present in the forum, but factually, since all those casinos have Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as their main payment methods, they are technically related to Bitcoin, so they have a reason to be in this forum.

On a different note, I would rather gamble my money away than invest them in a shit coin or an ICO.  Roll Eyes Or, we could say that investing in these two is nothing less than gambling in itself. Anyway, I believe the forum is better with casinos and gambling than it was with ICOs and shitcoins back in the day that used to scam people most of the time.

Maybe you are right

Yeah, most of the signatures here are from casinos, so if you check out the gambling sections, you'll see plenty of them since that’s where most of the posts are. Are you a gambler or not? Because if you are, this gives you a ton of options to choose from, and it should definitely help you out.

If you are bothered with the signatures, do this.

Go to your Profile Settings, look for "Modify Look and Layout Preferences", check "Don't show users' signatures." and click "change profile".

That’s a given since 90% or more of the signatures in the forum are from signature campaigns. There isn’t a specific board for them, but users like me are super active because of the weekly posting requirements. Just get used to it; if you’re not into gambling, just ignore them and focus on the content. Most of it actually provides valuable insights on various topics.


But the reality is, most campaign participants end up writing 70% of their posts on gambling boards.
You can’t change that because campaign managers running gambling signature campaigns will always hire users who are active in the gambling section. That’s just how business works - you don’t promote what you don’t understand.

In some campaigns, the number can be up to 90%. People find gambling board less moderated and they can run away by writing anything and those posts rarely get reported. I see a lot of nonsense posts that was written just because of the signature requirement.
I think it’s still moderated, though, since I see a lot of topics getting locked and probably some deleted. It’s just that there’s such a high volume of posts in this board, especially in the gambling discussions. Honestly, how do you even moderate a thread for a specific league? Users are just sharing their thoughts based on the actual games, so it feels more like a chit-chat thread. In my opinion, that’s totally normal.

OK, I forgot to add in the previous post.
Writing in gambling is much simpler and you can write any nonsense there and it won't have any impact.
There, several pages are written about one match, only to switch to another the next day. All previous discussion automatically becomes completely useless. I am quite convinced that few people even read such discussions.

There are currently 17 signature campaigns on the forum that pay up to 30 posts per week for each participant. At the same time, some campaigns have 40, 60 or even over 100 participants. So for that much you can calculate yourself how many posts there are on a weekly basis.

Good Stats!
But people always have their choice. If I cannot join a non casino signature campaign because there are not many of them available and the competition is too high, probably my last choice is to join casino signature campaign. But none of the campaign forcing them to write all their posts on gambling boards. Most campaigns ask their participants to write five to ten posts on the gambling boards.

TLDR: people are paid to post there. Most signature campaigns demands at least some posts per week per user in the gambling board.

It is advertisement and participants of casino signature campaigns.

If you don't want to see signature from them, you can customize your profile settings.

Not sure, but as far as i know there are many gambling related signature campaigns on this forum, and since posting about gambling is a must for some, we find a lot of gambling posts. That's roughly the main reason, maybe other users have more complex answers, anyone?
He is not talking about why people are posting on the gambling boards. He is asking about why most people are wearing gambling site signatures and not non-gambling site signatures. Read what we have posted above which are the reasons. Not that we are not sure, we are very sure those are the reasons.

By “legacy casinos” I mean the oldschool casinos where you can only deposit via credit card or bank wire. Crypto casinos are obviously a different and newer generation of casinos.
Many people use traditional casinos or fiat based casinos to refer to them on this forum.

Using a centralized mixer was never a good idea begin with (you’ll never know what data they are logging) so banning them was a good decision in a way.
They were banned because they were doing their work perfectly. That is the reason government see them as threat and hostile against them.

It is because gambling is probably one of the best use cases of a crypto currency. You deposit your coins to a casino, have fun and withdraw if happen to make profits. Some of them don’t even ask any KYC documents which is a great advantage. Legacy casinos ask your credit card number which could be dangerous.

Online crypto casinos provide anonymity and they are efficient.

Since people don’t usually use their crypto for grocery shopping, there isn’t much else to do really. (Other than hodling which is as good as doing nothing)

Crypto and gambling are the best combination ever happened.
What do you mean as legacy casino?

Online casinos are centralized and most of them are requesting for KYC. Many if them do not provide anonymity. Which I am not concerned about because I use small money to gamble and gambling is legalized in my country.

Another reason is because not mixer ban. Is mixers are not banned, they would have been another campaigns with many signatures.

Yes many newer generation casinos ask for KYC but there are still some which don’t. Some of those casinos have KYC in their ToS but nobody has ever heard them enforcing it. Freebitco.in is a good example.

Most signature campaigns on the forum come from various casinos or gambling establishments. It is normal to have more gambling posts on forums to promote their organization. If you count, you will see that more than 80% of signature campaigns are from different casinos or gambling establishments. Whether you are a gambler or decide to get into gambling, you will find many options and help in finding your trusted gambling establishment.
