The dispute always has been only about responsible gaming failures and refusal to honor exclusion requests. Anyone still clinging to the "you shouldn't have been there" talking point is arguing against Bitz's own written guidance and support messages and not reading the complaint carefully.

I'll leave this here for anyone confused or still pretending that "being from a restricted country" is an issue in this dispute.

1. Bitz openly publishes instructions encouraging users to use Bitz-branded VPN to “play without restrictions from any country,” including recommending specific regions to connect through. That is explicit encouragement to access the platform from a location other than where the user is physically located.

And if you want to argue that VPN use “doesn’t apply” to players from restricted countries and is somehow only meant for permitted players, then explain this. Why is Bitz encouraging users to use a VPN to access games that the provider itself blocks in certain countries? Providers block games by jurisdiction for regulatory reasons. Bitz is telling players to bypass those blocks. That has nothing to do with “loading issues.” That is guidance on how to defeat geographic restrictions imposed by the provider.

2. Bitz’s own support explicitly advises players from restricted countries that they “may play,” with the only limitation being potential site or game loading issues. No warning about violations. No instruction to leave. No account blocking.

The restricted-country issue is not relevant to resolving this dispute. Read the complaint. It never was. That said, it’s worth clarifying once so we can put an end to the posts grasping at it as a distraction after Pmalek astutely raised this red herring.

The question is, what kind of tax and on what kind of bitcoin transactions?

Since the report says it will remove the tax, that means there’s already an existing one. The only thing that comes to my mind is capital gains tax when selling Bitcoin. If I remember correctly, the rate can go as high as 20%, which is already a big chunk.

So if this actually gets approved, that’s a pretty significant amount of profit you get to keep instead of handing it over as tax.

Quote from: Pmalek on Today at 08:13:09 AM

You should try entering a seed phrase or a long and complex passphrase on a Blockstream Jade, which has left/right navigational buttons to navigate through the letters of the alphabet, numbers, and symbols. It's a lot of fun. Grin

I already find it annoying to type passphrases on my Trezor Model T, imagine typing lengthy passphrases on a device that only allows two-button navigation. To avoid taking so long and having to switch character types, perhaps it would be better to use passphrases like:

Code:

outfield rearview fiftieth outshine chatter drab

That's why I think hardware wallets with a QWERTY keyboard like Coldcard Q and Passport Prime (when it's released) are necessary.

Quote from: Pmalek on Today at 08:13:09 AM

I would even go one step further and send a small test transaction to the restored wallet. After that, send it back out again to ensure that it's working properly. That gives me greater peace of mind.

Another approach would be to note the fingerprint #00000000 that each wallet has, it changes every time a new passphrase is typed, but of course it's necessary to test at least 4 times if the passphrase is accessing the same wallet.

You should always carefully check every output addresses before you sign a transaction with your hardware signing device. For this very reason it's mandatory that your signing device has an own independant display that can't be manipulated by the software wallet that hands over the transaction to be signed.

I only recently found out there's a thing called "blind signing" for shitcoins like Ethereum. Instead of confirming each address on your screen, you have to tell your hardware wallet to just trust the software again. So that's how people got all their coins stolen from their hardware wallet.

Correct, but also quite wrong -- this is not the primary reason why people are losing their coins, not even close. What blind signing does is abstract away some of the details, but the primary culprit is interacting with malicious and phishing contracts. Do you really think that the average user would be able to interpret the calls when doing an interaction even if they were hidden? Absolutely not. Those that can drain everything that you have because most of these shitcoins have token standards that do not have native ownership. Even if wallets had complete clear signing, this would still not prevent most of these cases of scamming. What is the difference between a legitimate contract and fraudulent contract that requires you to approve unlimited allowance for USDC and similar actions (say deposit/stake)? Nothing, the average user would never be able to tell even if all ABI information was displayed for every contract (it never will be).

What they do over there is generally terrible, but let's be clear about the real causes of things. The best type of attack that shows how shitcoins are stupid is the one where a single signing drains all of your balances across every chain of the same type and all of their layers from a hardware wallet, for example EVM based chains. Cheesy

I had a friend buy some Bitcoin and kept stressing the importance of security to him. Hardware wallets weren’t really popular yet at the time, so I suggested he install the Bitpie app on a dedicated phone and set a very strong wallet password. Unfortunately, he later forgot the password, and those two Bitcoins have been stuck there ever since, unable to be moved.

I have never heard of Bitpie or know anyone that has used it. By the sound of it, it looks like a custodial service. Is it? Did your friend not generate a seed phrase or received private keys to the addresses where he sent his bitcoin? Wallet passwords are meant to encrypt files locally, so that if an unauthorized third-party got hold of them, they couldn't abuse them. But you should always be able to recover your wallet elsewhere using a recovery phrase or individual private keys.

Custodial services suck, but in terms of user failures in this case there is nothing different between a custodial or non custodial wallet. A proper failure to to store key information (which differs between wallet types) and then forgetting it will lead to a loss of coin or coin being stuck in both cases.

Bad, but this is nothing compared to the number of systems activated by these or similar tools. It is in the hundreds of millions of devices. Of course some malicious actors will jump on the opportunity, still the data shows that it represents a small amount of devices that actually have a malicious activator. The amount stolen would be much higher otherwise. Anyway there is no reason to use Windows at all, and if someone does need it they can install it in a virtual machine without a network adapter. That way it is not going to be a problem even if you put a malware-infested copy of Windows on it. The exception would be malware that targets the VM but average users commonly don't stumble upon that.

But the simple fact that it's an activator, which can be hosted by any site, without any provenance, closed source code, and so on, is all unfavorable signs that you shouldn't install it on a PC with an unactivated Windows, because what are the chances of not having something very unpleasant there?

The simple fact that it's not open source and that there's no official team behind it already makes me want to stay away from this kind of thing. It's true that just not using Windows eliminates these problems, but if there's no other way, for example, having a pc for work to run things that only work on Windows-compatible software, the best thing is not to tempt fate and acquire a license.

Correct, but wrong. Pretty much all cracking is closed source on average, this includes everything from software to video games for Windows. If you download it from suspicious sources, then you may get in trouble. If you download it from legitimate sources and authors, you will be fine. The percentage of users that get malware this way is very tiny compared to the users that successfully use things. Yes, it would be better if things were open source -- but this is the realistic state of things. Activators should not be singled out, people who use activators are likely using other software or games that are cracked too. Anyway, if I recall correctly there was once an open source activator for Windows 10 but I don't know if it that is still a thing.

Quote from: Forsyth Jones on January 09, 2026, 05:32:18 PM

Besides, nowadays computers already come with pre-activated OEM Windows licenses...

If you buy a pre-built computer or a laptop maybe, but that is for the amateurs. Tongue

I am sure Punkz will add those eventually to its casino catalogue.

Punkz will probably add a slot from this provider if it is released, in my experience playing demos in this slot is less interesting in terms of visuals and winnings.

Quote from: Eternad on Today at 12:33:04 PM

I was intrigued when saw that game provider but I don’t dare to try new provider after experiencing a terrible loss on Shadylady slot game provider which is new to me.

Rest for a while after recovering you can return. Grin

Quote from: Eternad on Today at 12:33:04 PM

Anyone here manage to try a bonus buy on that slot games? I still doesn’t check the games.

Slots from provider SneakySlots have no buy bonus, you can only activate Sneaky Boost with regular Sneaky 2x bet level - Sneaky Super 5x bet increase, this only increases the super bonus chance.

With 3 Slots available now it's still not exciting enough.

I just realized that Casinopunkz has rebranded to Punkz.com. I'm wondering why the rebrand has been done. They have added the sportsbook, but I don't see any other changes on the platform. And my country is still on the restricted countries list there. They haven't added the geo-blocking system yet.

~snip~ I don't think instant versions of crash games are as popular as the standard games.

There won't be any option to do the cashout manually on instant version of Crash game. Limbo can be considered as an instant version of Crash game. But Limbo isn’t popular like the Crash game.

There is one major distinction between custodial and non custodial services. If you forget or don't make backups of your private key information and the software where those keys are stored malfunctions, you are done. You lose access to your coins and you will never get them back. Custodial services are controlled by someone else, and you can lose access to them. If you do, there will be a way back in, by proving to the custodian that you are who you say you are. That can be as simple as resetting a password over e-mail, entering a code sent to you via SMS, or doing (another round of) KYC to verify yourself. After that, the custodian can give you access to your bitcoin again.

Not necessarily. There are custodial solutions that require both you and the custodian, and if you lose the key information here from your side they can do nothing for you. Furthermore, again you make a false comparison by having an unfair assumption on the side of the custodial solution where you retain key information so that you are able to "reset" something. Losing private key information is the same as losing everything for a custodial solution, in the case of one that requires an email and password -- you lose both the email account and password. Getting that back will be extremely difficult unless there is KYC involved, but that defeats the purpose. Correct comparisons would be the following, don't mix and match.

Non-custodial: Lost wallet password, retained private key or seed phrase backup. Recovery possible.
Custodial: Lost account or wallet password, retained email account or phone number or whatever else was used. Recovery possible.

Non-custodial: Lost wallet password, and lost private key or seed phrase. Recovery impossible.
Custodial (no KYC): Lost account or wallet password, lost email account or phone number or whatever else was used. Recovery most likely impossible.

In terms of recovery, the custodial solution only has a small benefit in the second case but I don't believe that in most of those cases recovery will be possible.

Quote from: SilverCryptoBullet on Today at 01:24:46 PM

Lazy people can feel it is safe as they can recover their account from password to 2FA, but there is bigger risk than non-custodial wallets. Centralized exchanges can close their service as scam, their exchanges can be seized like TradeOrge exchange or their exchanges can be hacked and bankrupted after that.

We can talk about different tradeoffs in different perspectives, but ultimately Not Your Keys Not Your Bitcoin always prevails. No matter how you approach this topic, non custodial wallets are always the best choice by far. They are best for the user, they are best for the network. I'd only recommend custodial to people who can barely use technology at all (being able to open some apps on a smartphone does not count).

There is one major distinction between custodial and non custodial services.

Custodial vs. Non Custodial Wallets - "Not your keys, not your coin" Explained.

Quote

If you forget or don't make backups of your private key information and the software where those keys are stored malfunctions, you are done. You lose access to your coins and you will never get them back.

With high risk of losing your coins if you only create a single wallet for storage, without backup, when people know that risk, they must learn and practice both wallet backups and wallet recoveries.

How to back up a seed phrase?

Quote

Custodial services are controlled by someone else, and you can lose access to them. If you do, there will be a way back in, by proving to the custodian that you are who you say you are. That can be as simple as resetting a password over e-mail, entering a code sent to you via SMS, or doing (another round of) KYC to verify yourself. After that, the custodian can give you access to your bitcoin again.

Have you ever played at SneakySlots this provider is a little too unfamiliar to me because I only found out after the development of X Punkz which was just announced, and this provider only has 3 games available.

First I though that Punkz only added those three games by SneakySlots, neglecting the rest of their portfolio for a reason. But, judging by its website, it really seems like that company has only created those three games. They have announced two upcoming games, though. Gods go Pew Pew, to be released at the end of January and Unwishable, scheduled for 25 February. I am sure Punkz will add those eventually to its casino catalogue.

I was intrigued when saw that game provider but I don’t dare to try new provider after experiencing a terrible loss on Shadylady slot game provider which is new to me.

I was attracted to a gore like theme of most of their slot games but it’s brutal experience since it’s so hard to hit any win even a medium size win on a bonus buy.

Anyone here manage to try a bonus buy on that slot games? I still doesn’t check the games.

I think it's a combination of a few things, not just one.

Making digital backups like photos of your seed and storing them on your phone, cloud and/or email is one mistake. If that image gets in the wrong hands, it's goodbye to your bitcoin.
Downloading fake wallets because they saw a recommendation somewhere on Telegram, FB, or a different social media, without researching what they are downloading.

These are the very common ones that I think, anyone who comes into this space for the first time without any proper orientation would make. It always carries in it a sense of safety, safety in the fact that the device you are handling is yours and for those that stores data on the clouds, they trust too much on these for systems for backup and feels it’s easy to have these data recovered.

Some might even message themselves on social media as a way to back that up give it’s 2-way protection policy and you wonder how your message gets leaked in an investigation…

These are very unreliable and can at the least unexpected time constitute a security breach that one might not get to recover from.

Bitz Casino claims to possess a Curacao Master License and that it's owned and operated by Win Sector N.V. If you visit the official website of the alleged owners, there isn't much information there.

Raj.Bet is similar to Bitz in that you can't find license information on their website. Both casinos claim to be owned by Win Sector N.V.
If you try to authenticate the two websites to check if their licenses are valid via https://www.curacao-egaming.com/public-and-players/authenticity, the result is "Unlicensed."

Separately, we want to inform you that we are currently obtaining a new license from the island of Anjuan, and there will be an update on the website in the next few weeks. We will inform you separately when the license is updated on the website, and we will celebrate this event together.

But you're still under GC until July? If you are, I think it'll be best to still put their seal of validation on your site. If you're not, then it'll be best to scrap any claim of being under GC altogether for the time being.

Bitz_Casino:
Based on the above, there appear to have been unresolved issues in the past regarding verification of your licensing status while operating under a Curaçao license. Do you mind kindly explaining your current license.

Your website states that Bitz.io is licensed and regulated by the Government of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros, under License No. ALSI-202411066-F12. However, unlike other operators holding valid Anjouan licenses such as BC.Game, no official license seal or verification badge is displayed on your site to allow players to independently confirm this status.

In addition, the Anjouan Gaming License Register appears to show this license as expired as of November 21, 2025. Please clarify whether this information is accurate, and if not, provide confirmation of your current licensing status and its validity.

Clear confirmation would be helpful for transparency and player assurance.

Acting before thinking and asking questions is another common mistake. You will hear about cases where victims got a message and were tricked to import their seed phrase or download an updated piece of software. They do, they lose their crypto, and then they start asking if that was the right thing to do.

This is one easy way for one to fall into social engineering attacks sadly especially when such individual is communication with an account that can be link to his/her identity/location. The ironic fact that anyone can fall into this if they are not cautious, after all the scammer doesn't come to scam first but rather gain trust and then one is vulnerable to their schemes and attack.

Quote from: noorman0 on Today at 04:53:14 PM

Unwilling to learn technical side, they often prefer to store their Bitcoin in centralized wallets.
They lack the opportunity to perform even basic technical tasks, such as sending Bitcoin on-chain, which requires manual setups to get the best network fees.

Technicality are not necessary in coin protection basically. The on-chain transaction is something also in the CEX, and sometimes I consider theirs more complex since it has different options.

Wallets like Bluewallets gives users simple understanding, there is the send and receive with other options to increase fee or replace fee and even if they don't bother about that, it still gives good fee estimation, not like CEX or some said non-custodial wallets like Trust wallet.

Quote from: noorman0 on Today at 04:53:14 PM

Knowledge can even be overridden by carelessness, leading to major mistakes. This isn't just about a Bitcoiner's background. I remember the news a few months ago where a crypto developer's wallet was drained.

One thing I have come to notice about such scams on technical individuals is that this is often through social engineering attacks or carelessness.

Correct, but wrong. Pretty much all cracking is closed source on average, this includes everything from software to video games for Windows. If you download it from suspicious sources, then you may get in trouble. If you download it from legitimate sources and authors, you will be fine. The percentage of users that get malware this way is very tiny compared to the users that successfully use things. Yes, it would be better if it were open source -- but this is the realistic state of things. Activators should not be singled out, people who use activators are likely using other software or games that are cracked too. Anyway, if I recall correctly there was once an open source activator for Windows 10 but I don't know if it that is still a thing.

Besides, nowadays computers already come with pre-activated OEM Windows licenses...

If you buy a pre-built computer or a laptop maybe, but that is for the amateurs. Tongue

I don't think that's your standard clipboard hijacker. His clipboard wasn't hijacked in the normal fashion. He copied the correct address from his Trezor and pasted it into his Binance account. The correct address was also confirmed on the hardware wallet. Only after the transaction was sent from Binance do we see that it got sent to a different address.

This is something else and maybe a combination of a few things. Fake Trezor software or firmware, fake Binance exchange, a malicious browser, script, or extension that replaces crypto addresses in the background, or something like that. He did something very wrong to catch that nasty thing.

Yeah, it could be a combination of several factors. It's more likely that he downloaded cracked software or a game, and that same installer may have downloaded several other malware programs through malicious ddls to increase its success. This means that if you identify a clipboard hijacker on your machine, it should be considered a red flag, as it's very likely that its malicious code may be downloading several members of the same family of highly undetectable malware.

For Bitcoin, yes, one can keep it offline or an airgapped device, etc, but what about people storing altcoins and especially the stable coins in Unstoppable or Trust Wallet (I don't recommend this wallet), etc ? Does this mean that we are at risk if we keep our coins in the Unstoppable wallet ?
Also they do not have any desktop version, so what are our options for altcoins storage Huh

There's always the risk of your online machine being compromised by an infostealer that can scan your machine in seconds. Malwares is increasingly using encryption techniques to remain undetectable by antivirus software. So you never know if your device is infected.

A hardware wallet like Trezor is considered a "secure" device because the private keys are stored on the device's chip and transactions are signed in the device's isolated environment, invalidating any malware from acting there (to date, I haven't heard of any malware obtaining private keys from such a device). Besides supporting various altcoins, you can use it on your Android/iOS device (depending on the model, like Safe 7).

I prefer airgapped wallets like Passport, Coldcard or Krux (for Bitcoin), but for those who want to store altcoins, the best alternative is Trezor.

For more information about multicoin wallets, visit this thread: list Multicoin Open Source Wallets

Besides using an air gapped wallet, an investor can decide to protect themselves by using some strategies like evacuating hot seed phrases that has been typed on your device and stored on a cloud backup by creating a new wallet and move holdings there.
Use lockdown mode for iPhone users , disable cloud backup or iCloud sync to remain safe and lastly never leave or take screenshots or photos of your seed phrase and store on your device.

Bitz shouldn't have allowed a US player to gamble on their online casino. That's my opinion. But the US player should also not have been at the website at all. It was the player's responsibility to make sure of that. Since you inspected their terms in detail, you couldn't have missed point 3.4. that goes hand-in-hand with 3.3. I have already shared my feelings about Responsible Gambling guidelines and how ineffective and silly I think they are.

I am sorry, but my opinion hasn't changed. If you had won and Bitz refused to pay you your winnings because they didn't want to, I would have supported you and you would have me in your corner. However, that isn't the case here. You were looking for a specific service. That service was online gambling. You found what you were looking for in Bitz. They offered you the service to gamble online. You gambled and, sadly, you lost. That's it.

What you’re advocating is the functional equivalent of jury nullification.

You’re discarding the governing terms and substituting your personal beliefs about what “should” matter. No mediator, regulator, or court evaluates disputes that way. They apply the rules as written to the facts as established. Personal ideology is irrelevant.

Pointing to alleged U.S. ineligibility doesn’t change that analysis. A term that the operator itself applies inconsistently or ignores does not excuse separate, affirmative violations of other written obligations. One breach does not nullify all others.

That approach might be tolerated in forum debate. It has zero value in any process that actually resolves disputes.

For the second time, I’m not here for sympathy, concern, or life advice from an internet forum "legend". Everything is fine on my end. The issue is compliance with written obligations. Nothing else.

If you have a separate machine only for your financial needs and operations and you use it properly, it won't get infected with malware and crypto address hijackers. You wouldn't be interacting with anything that can cause that. Worst case scenario, such malware infects your day-to-day computer and unless the malware can spread all over your network and connected devices (unlikely), the most important machine stays safe.

What I see being little disclosed, but the risk is imminent, is when thousands download Windows activators/crackers. These are downloaded from random, unverifiable websites, such as KMSpico (activator software). There have been mentions that they may be full of malware designed to steal cryptocurrencies and banking data...

Imagine how many people have activated their Windows/office using cracked software and are using wallets on these activated Windows systems, and are at risk right now?

There is even a bigger risk which is that people download that software to be installed before crack from third-party cracked software providers like getintopc and it is obvious compromised software gets into their Pcs. They now crack with the KMSpico and the damage continues.

Furthermore, less tech-savvy people do not actually download their software themselves but rely on the services of the computer engineer to install his own software for them which may be compromised. Most of the engineers copy software from their peers and install for their clients, including operating systems, so if a compromised software enters a location of PC engineers, it has the ability to spread quicker and attack a wide range of clients who patronize them.

To mi više izgleda kao 2 blockchain potvrde. Prva je bila u 8:15, druga a možda i treća u 8:35. Ne znam šta im ta budalaština o 24 blockchain potvrde treba da znači dok u isto vrijeme iznad toga pišu da se zamjena kripta očekuje u periodu od 5 do 30 minuta. Ne može i jedno i drugo. Moguće da se to odnosi na ether i Ethereum tokene pa su nešto iskomplikovali ili pišu isto za sve mreže bez obzira kakav je 'block time'. Uglavnom bitno je da je prošlo.

Bilo bi zanimljivo sad vidjeti kakav je risk rejting tog ethera kojeg si dobio. BTC kojeg si njima poslao je imao medium-risk i coini potiču iz eXch, jel?

Iskreno, nemam pojma odakle sve potječe BTC koji sam im slao jer sam istu adresu koristio nekoliko godina. eXch nisam koristio tako da mislim da od tamo nemam ništa direktno. Jedino ako je nešto neizravno završilo u mom walletu. Kod mene su bili kojekakvi ordinalsi, BTC iz prošlih kampanja... Ma stvarno svašta.

Najverovatnije je u pitanju maksimalan broj potvrda koje neke transakcije zahtevaju. To se uglavnom odnosi na ETH i tokene na toj mrezi. Mada tih 24 potvrde na ETH mrezi znaju biti mnogo brze nego dve na blockchainu.
Slicna stvar je i na Binance, s tim sto mislim da je tamo potrebno preko 50 potvrda za depozit da bi rasoplagao sredstvima.

Ma da. Meni se isto čini da im to po defaultu piše bez obzira na kojoj mreži se rade transakcije. Za Ethereum su mi 24 potvrde OK ali za Bitcoin nisam nikad čuo da netko traži toliko. Zato sam i išao to ovdje napisati, a kad ono ipak nije tako

Nikad nisam čuo da neko za bitcoin transkacije traži 24 potvrde i prosto ne vjerujem. Jel moguće da ta osoba s kojom si pričao nije nešto pogrešno shvatila ili ti dala informaciju za neku drugu kriptovalutu? Kad započnem proces zamjene BTC u USDT npr, na dnu stranice mi piše da je očekivano vrijeme swap-a 5-30 minuta. 24 potvrde na Bitcoin blockchainu je prosječno čekanje od 4 sata. To je nenormalno skroz.

Btw, Swapuz nije DEX. To je CEX i instant mjenačnica.

Ne, ne. Nisi me dobro shvatio. Nisam pričao s osobom koja mi je rekla da su potrebne 24 potvrde. Koristio sam Swapuz i tražilo je 24 potvrde da bi napravili zamjenu i poslali mi ETH. Evo, jutros sam ponovo pokrenuo swap i evo screenshota:

Isprva nisam to niti primijetio. Ali onda kad je transakcija bila potvrđena, a ETH mi nije dolazio u wallet, išao sam provjeriti i vidio da piše "Number of blockchain confirmations 24". Meni je isto nevjerojatno pa sam htio podijeliti s vama da računate s tim ako ćete koristiti Swapuz.

Are you saying that I should mention something in my OP about the Use SSL option and how it should be ticked for network changes to be recorded properly? I could add that somewhere in the tutorial.
Or perhaps you were trying to say that it should have been noted by Blue Wallet in the network settings tab?

Something like: 'Make sure that "Use SSL" is ticked' should be enough.
It's switched-on by default, but in cases like what happened to "@Not your key not your BTC", the note should prevent it.

If you like sports and know how to bet on them, that's a good idea.
What were you playing before that you didn't have any luck with? You could try Dice or Plinko. I have seen players trigger big multipliers on crash games like Aviator or one of the alternatives created by competing game providers.

When it comes to betting on slot games, the first thing that comes to mind is crash games. Because this is where I work best. Sometimes I focus on Dice or Plinko, but the plan doesn't work properly. But your idea is very good, because sometimes we should think of exceptions. But I never worry about rakeback. I use a very small amount of money to bet, so as not to lose too much. As he has experience towards sports games,So he should give his time there.

Racial games such as Aviator may be challenging, however, those huge multipliers are alluring. Dice and Plinko are better alternatives when you have less time and need to have something less risky. I appreciate the fact that you bet little at a time- this makes the losses easily manageable as well as makes the game enjoyable. And, of course, when a person has an experience of sports betting, it is logical to concentrate there. Occasionally it is best to be safe and secure, and to venture a little on the side.

Another thing I noticed when I took a look at your Casino Guru thread. In the summary, CG states that you are a "player from the United States." Is that true?
Have you checked what the casino's terms state regarding players who are residents in certain territories, including the United States of America? It's under 3.3 in the terms and conditions.

Hi Pmalek:
It’s interesting that you are now selectively citing Bitz’s Terms of Service and pointing to provisions you believe have full force and effect in this dispute.

You reference Section 3.3 regarding restricted territories. Yet throughout this entire thread, you have consistently refused to give any weight at all to Section 6.8 of the same TOS and Bitz’s now-deleted Self-Exclusion Policy (https://bitz.io/self-policy). Apparently, in your view, some sections of the TOS matter and others do not.

That inconsistency aside, I anticipated you would raise Section 3.3. After Bitz refused my self-exclusion request and still before any deposits were made, I sought an independent basis to have my account closed. I explicitly informed Bitz that I was a United States resident and quoted the very language from Section 3.3 you now rely on. Under their own terms, my account should have been blocked immediately.

Bitz refused. They stated that the account could not be blocked until the self-exclusion tool “under maintenance” was repaired and a seven-day self-exclusion period had elapsed. In other words, even when presented with a clear territorial prohibition under their own TOS, they still declined to act. Now ask yourself why a casino would claim a self-exclusion tool was required to block an account from a restricted territory. You can decide whether that explanation reflects a legitimate constraint or clear bad faith.

It gets worse. On December 15, Bitz support, through the same representative involved elsewhere in this matter, claimed that players could play from any country, with the caveat that there “may be issues loading games or the website.” That position directly contradicts Section 3.3 and further demonstrates how casually Bitz treated its own rules.

So now that you’ve decided to engage with the TOS, perhaps you can explain how refusing to honor a self-exclusion request citing gambling addiction, refusing to close an account for a prohibited-country resident, and continuing to accept deposits complies with Bitz’s published terms.

You won’t be able to. That’s why your arguments keep pivoting to personal responsibility while avoiding operator obligations entirely.

You’ve seen only a fraction of the evidence documenting Bitz’s conduct beginning December 7. I have no obligation to convince you of anything. But when you thought you had found a clever angle by raising U.S. residency, it was necessary to correct the record once again.

Screenshots attached for clarity.

If you truly are a gambling addict, then I am sorry for you and those close to you. And yes, the "personal-responsibility rhetoric" still applies to you. It's your fault that you are addicted. It's not mine, Bitz's, or the world's. If I didn't say it earlier, then I am going to say it now: Go seek professional help before you destroy yourself and the lives of people that depend on you. That's also your personal responsibility, not someone else's. I don't think you should be in control of your own finances if you can't make sound decisions. The best thing that could happen to you is if someone gave you an allowance, enough to provide you with everything you need in life, but not an amount that you can gamble away and destroy your future and that of your loved ones. That's all assuming that you aren't capable of making normal decisions yourself.

I read up some cases about some of gamblers try to exploit the self exclusion policy of the casino and they try to exploit it by asking compensation especially if the casino forget to impose the request of those gamblers.

I don't want to accuse him trying to do that, but it seems that's what's happening especially seeing his actions done here.

But if we really think about the situation he is the one to be blame on those actions he have done. So if he don't have any hidden agenda with those issues he raised here, much better if he moves on and just find other things that can make him busy then stay away on gambling.

I’m not here to solicit or accept life advice from strangers on forum.

Responsible gambling exists precisely because personal responsibility alone is not sufficient. That is why reputable casinos provide tools like limits, timeouts, and self-exclusion, and why they bind themselves to honor those requests once made. Those tools are not charity. They are contractual obligations Bitz chose to publish, advertise, and enforce against players.

Bitz failed on every front. I disclosed addiction. I requested self-exclusion. They acknowledged it and refused to act while continuing to accept deposits. That is operator misconduct under their own terms. Your fixation on “personal responsibility” ignores the equally real concept of operator responsibility and the written obligations Bitz voluntarily assumed.

What’s striking is how some people like you treat responsible gaming provisions as optional or second-class, while insisting every other term. KYC, AML, country restrictions, bonus rules, wagering limits. be enforced to the letter. Contracts do not work that way. Every term carries equal force. Casinos do not get to cherry-pick compliance based on ideology.

It’s difficult not to respond when people continue to spout misinformation, as you have, but at this point it’s no longer productive. The complaint is progressing through the appropriate channels.

Bitz had a duty to provide the responsible gaming safeguards it advertised and incorporated into its terms. That is the issue. I have no duty to convince you of anything, especially when you insist on ignoring the factual record and the governing terms.

You’re entitled to your views on addiction. They are irrelevant to whether Bitz complied with its own TOS and self-exclusion policy. This dispute is about conduct and compliance, not sermons.

@ptaylor78
In essence: You created an account at Bitz Casino, reviewed their Self-Exclusion Policy, found that it wasn't to your liking, and decided to gamble there anyways. Would you say that is a very brief, one-sentence explanation of your case?

To me it seems like that was a very calculated and intentional move on your part. You might have done things like that in the past, someone advised you to do it, or you figured it out in some other way. You are not dumb, you know what you are doing. If you won, there would have been no complaints, and Bitz would have been an wonderful casino. Since you lost, you now want to change the past, and get your money back.

I learned early on that when someone starts a rebuttal with “in essence,” what follows is usually fiction. You’ve confirmed that rule nicely.

I won’t bother reposting all the exhibits that corroborate my positions. They are already in the record. Your speculation adds nothing.

Your summary is wrong at every material point. On December 8, before a single penny was deposited or a single bet was placed, I disclosed gambling addiction and requested self-exclusion. Bitz acknowledged the request and then refused to implement it while continuing to accept deposits. Unless you can explain how Bitz's December 8 refusal to self-exclude complies with its own Terms of Service and Self-Exclusion Policy, everything else you’ve written is irrelevant.

For completeness, explain why the same Bitz support representative, Jessy, gave materially different answers on self-exclusion on December 15 and again today, January 8. That inconsistency further undercuts your narrative.

If self-exclusion was available via email, as Jessy states on January 8, why was my email request denied on December 8. And why did Jessy state on December 15 that self-exclusion by email was not possible.

Now that the “calculated gamble” theory is dead on the timeline alone, feel free to resume the personal-responsibility rhetoric. It still won’t change the facts or the obligations Bitz chose to publish and ignore.

Just for the record, I don’t expect a substantive response to any of the issues raised. Your pattern is consistent. You post assertions without evidence, disappear once they’re debunked, then reappear days later to repeat a new version of the same unsupported narrative.

At this point, it’s noise, not analysis.

Bitz has always run a bit slower than other casino sites in my experience. It takes a bit time to get used to it but afterwards it's fine.

The site was also slow when i tried to use my smartphone, it's so slow in loading the casino features as i have to wait up to 30 seconds and above before a feature i click on will open. I missed out on a game i was trying to place a live bet on simply because of how slow it took for the live bet interface to appear. Well, i find it faster while using a PC, every feature i click on opens instantly unlike the challenges i was facing while using a mobile browser so for now i can only use Bitz when am with my PC at home because i can't endure the annoying time i waste while trying to wait for a page to load when using a smartphone.

It happens that the mobile can't manage to run the system faster for some reason.

-hardware specs
-graphic processing
-not fit for mobile phones

I know many of us encountered the same story, not just in BITZ.io. That is why it is advisable to use higher-spec phones if we want to. Otherwise, use a computer for a better experience and faster game loading. Aside from that, the wider screen helps us avoid wrong bets that usually happen on mobile phones.

The moment i see Jameson Lopp as one of the BIP author, i'm not surprised about details of the phase B. After all, he already wrote blog post Against Allowing Quantum Recovery of Bitcoin.

He is one of the authors of the BIP proposal but there are five more. So they all agree on those points in Phase B.

I don't know what to think. It feels like choosing between two evils, hoping you picked the lesser one. Allow satoshi-era coins to be stolen if a strong-enough quantum computer becomes a reality. That would cause a devastating affect on the network. The alternative looks even worse: freeze the coins and effectively take them out of circulation for the greater good of the network and again destroying trust in Bitcoin and censoring it.

I think everyone is overestimating the effect of this. All it does is reintroduce some more supply into circulation, it does not change the total coin count or anything else. Once it happens, it is done and the network has swallowed the solution to the problem. We are not talking about something that will kill Bitcoin for example by completely breaking it. One of the reasons why people are exaggerating this is because everyone has been writing about this in a very negative way for a long time. If it is something that is an expected progression of the network's evolution, and if we start talking about it as something that must happen and something that is normal then the fears will lower over time. A smart attacker would not dump compromised coins fast, it is actually a very good way to build a country reserve. Wink

Shitcoin people inflate both their circulating and total supply all the time in many ways, relax.

Fair point. Some people would mention that they don't want 1 million BTC mined by Satoshi getting stolen. But they don't realize 1 million BTC is an estimation[1] and IIRC each 50 mined BTC was mined into different P2PK "address". While the effect probably isn't devastating on Bitcoin network, it definitely will have impact on Bitcoin price and easily turned into FUD.

Quote from: Satofan44 on July 19, 2025, 04:36:47 PM

You can reframe it to something more normal such as "some satoshi-era Bitcoin finally mined using quantum computers".

You've probably read it, but Jameson Lopp write interesting argument about this viewpoint. Here's a part of his argument.

Quote from: https://blog.lopp.net/against-quantum-recovery-of-bitcoin/

But wait, you may be thinking, wouldn't quantum "miners" have earned their coins by all the work and resources invested in building a quantum computer? I suppose, in the same sense that a burglar earns their spoils by the resources they invest into surveilling targets and learning the skills needed to break into buildings. What I say "earned" I mean through productive mutual trade.

[1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=175996.0

One thing this thread makes very clear is that the hardest part of a post-quantum migration is not choosing which signature scheme to use, but dealing with long-lived key exposure and mandatory coordination.

Larger PQ signatures (SPHINCS+, FALCON, etc.) are an unavoidable cost if we keep the current model of static public keys that persist indefinitely on-chain. The real tension here isn’t “which algorithm”, but whether the protocol should continue to rely on permanent key material at all.

From a research perspective, many of the Phase B / Phase C dilemmas disappear if keys are treated as ephemeral by design: frequent rotation, unlinkability, and proofs of authorization that don’t require revealing reusable public keys. In that model, quantum resistance becomes a gradual property, not a cliff.

We’ve been experimenting with these ideas in the context of cross-chain protocols and ZK-based authorization, focusing on reducing static key exposure rather than forcing global migrations. Some notes and experiments are public here for anyone interested:

Not proposing this as a Bitcoin change — just sharing a different framing that might be useful when thinking about post-quantum threat models.

And why exactly these three wallets? There are so many wallets available as browser extensions that support multiple currencies and work perfectly on Linux. I personally use Enkrypt - it fits all my needs and I have no complaints.

There are also web wallets, which are even more convenient.

Convenience and security are two very different things. Web and browser wallets may be convenient and easy to access and use. So are custodial exchanges. But in terms of security, browser wallets are the worst type you could use.

I understand that a browser is a complex, open environment where the potential for vulnerabilities is higher. However, threats vary, and personally I fear physical access by an attacker to my phone more. Someone takes my phone, sees a wallet app, and drains all the crypto from it. If they only see a browser, they still need to figure out that the browser itself is the wallet used to steal crypto. So in my personal risk model, a web wallet feels safer than a standalone app.

Also, I remembered one browser wallet that can work with a Trezor device - Komodo Wallet. It's possible that its security may be acceptable even by common standards. And it definitely fits the use case described in the original post: it's multi-currency and works on Linux, of course.

Bitz has always run a bit slower than other casino sites in my experience. It takes a bit time to get used to it but afterwards it's fine. I haven't noticed that it has slowed down additionally yesterday. I did have issues with it in the past, when trying to access it with my uBlock Origin ad blocker turned on. If you are using an ad blocker on your machine to block ads, turn it off for Bitz and see if the site works better from that moment on.

I feels better yesterday accessing Bitz.io than few days ago. They are doing good with their job and I am sure they will improve more better in the future.

I don't activating ad blocker in my browser and I don't have a problem accessing any sites.

But it will depends on your Internet ISP because if they have lack, your connection will gets the effect.

...

It's not as easy as that. There are numerous laws that govern how companies are supposed to treat your data and the purposes why they store it. Ledger is based in France. They are required to comply with EU data protection laws. On top of that, there are also various French laws that the company must respect. One of those concerns taxes, accounting, invoicing, and the like. I think that particular law requires French companies to keep customer data for up to 10 years. So even if your personal data that they keep for other purposes can be deleted, the tax & accounting law requires domestic companies to keep your data for a very long time.

Thanks for the explanation
Here in Brazil, the government has a law called the “General Data Protection Law,” which stipulates that companies must define how long they will store customer data, but there is no definition of a minimum or maximum time frame Tongue

In short, it doesn't work at all, because companies store customer data practically forever
And when there is a data leak, no customer is compensated

Nowadays, these customer data storage laws (in general) are quite outdated, with so many risks out there, especially in companies linked to crypto, investments, banks, etc

I noticed something unusual while inspecting your Terms and Conditions. It's the part about which games are eligible for wagering. The terms state that wagering requirements can only be fulfilled by playing slot games. This is weird because PlayBit has sports betting as well. Does this mean that I can't wager my crypto deposits on sports, and that my sports bets wouldn't count towards the wagering requirements? Ultimately, you are forcing players to play slots only.

Quote

Eligible Games for Wagering: Wagering requirements can only be fulfilled by playing Slot Games. The following game types do NOT contribute to wagering requirements:

Live Casino games (Live Blackjack, Live Roulette, Live Baccarat, etc.)
Crash games and similar instant games
Table games

I checked the terms and it seems that they do not welcome sports bettors

if bets on sports does not count towards wagering requirement for deposit without bonus means that they are forcing sports bettors to play slots games.
Even worse, they also do not welcome players who like to play live games, crash game and other similar games which is really strange terms.
They should change this term, it is reasonable if they put this terms for deposit with bonus but it is unusual if they apply it for normal deposit without bonus.
How can a casino force their players to play games that they may not like to play just to withdraw their money?

How people spend their money in this day and age is possibly the worst that it has every been. They will buy overpriced subscriptions, clothes and whatever other junk that they have but meanwhile they won't buy a second laptop or phone. The machines that are required to solely run wallets or other financial software is very cheap. As the OP mentions zero-click vulnerabilities for phones, you can't be hacked this way if you use crypto on a separate phone that is solely for that and that remains offline all of the time that you don't use it. This security measure is better than most technological solutions that one could think of, simply because the phone has a very limited surface of attack and limited activity. I have some old phones like that with different things, they are offline 99.99% of the time and never has a single one been compromised.

Signal included into the list really socked me. Okay, Whatsapp is Meta's product and I don't trust it, I only use it for the work and I don't find Telegram attractive too but Signal in the list? I don't know.

I'm not sure. I never really used Signal that much.

Whether software has vulnerabilities has nothing to do with the privacy goals behind the software, there is no reason to be surprised that Signal is on the list.

It was recently discovered that a version of KMSPico contains a Clipboard Hijacker monitoring victims' clipboards to replace crypto addresses divert funds.
There are several videos on Youtube warning not to use these Windows activators, especially KMSPico, as it's suspected of being infested with malware and we already have news about people being robbed.

You are at risk keeping your coins anywhere if you don't know what you are doing. You can mess up in different ways on an airgapped setup as well. They are not bulletproof against accidents and mistakes. But they are inherently safer than hot wallets. Let's not forget that hardware wallets weren't around in the early days of Bitcoin. Bitcoin Core was and can still act as a hot wallet, but you wouldn't call it unsafe, right? It's what you do on the device where you have installed your Bitcoin software that can make your wallet and your coins more or less safe.

Most of the hacks are due to complete incompetence of the user or some really dumb mistakes. It is probably 99.9% of the hacks. Even in the case that is given here, it is because the users are using crypto wrong. They have a significant amount of crypto on a mobile device, and it is the one that they actively use and have many other installed applications. That's 3 large mistakes chained into 1 scenario. I would be very concerned only if we see some very sophisticated hacks, but fortunately everything points out that the tools that are available and the cryptography that is used is very sound.

As a matter of fact, on their support site Ledger explained why their customers received a warning email from Global‑e rather than from Ledger itself:

You have a point, but the issue that I mentioned wasn't about them not notifying their users through email... I genuinely believe most of the new ledger users either don't know where to look for certain information ^{[one of the reasons why they've chosen their products, despite different known issues]} or they don't bother at all to go beyond social media platforms and last time I checked, ledger didn't care enough to take a minute to post a warning on their socials ^{[@Pmalek and @dkbit98 did it and they don't even work for them (ledger only cares about profits and nothing else)]}.

Very strange that both of your wallets either don't work at all or don't support Taproot. I just checked again - both wallets generate a Taproot address by default for receiving Bitcoin, and treat Taproot addresses as valid when sending.

But yes, I agree that in both cases the Taproot support is implemented very specifically: only receiving and sending are supported, not direct on-chain storage.

Quote from: Pmalek on Today at 07:56:45 AM

Maybe that's because Phoenix is supposed to be a wallet meant for the Lightning Network. Does it keep on-chain bitcoin deposits at all or are all on-chain bitcoins immediately swapped for LN funds? It would be weird if they only did it with Taproot addresses.

Regarding the Phoenix wallet, Taproot support is organized like this:

- User sets the maximum on-chain fee they are willing to pay in settings.

- User receives an incoming on-chain transfer to a Taproot address (Taproot is the default, and I'm not exactly sure if there is an option to receive on-chain Bitcoin to other address formats). In general case, the user's private key does not allow controlling the funds at this address.

- Wallet gets from its server an estimated fee size that is required to move the received coins into a payment channel.

- - If the fee does not exceed the threshold set by the user, the funds are moved into a payment channel. If it does exceed the threshold, the funds remain unusable until the estimated fee drops and the wallet is able to move the coins to the Lightning Network.

- - If the fee does not decrease within 4 months, the user's private key becomes usable to control those coins. For example, the Phoenix seed phrase can be imported into Blue Wallet to create a transaction and spend the funds.

I didn’t read their terms, but to be honest, this is not unusual. Many casinos have the same requirements. On some casinos, you will even see in their terms that bets on slots count 100% toward the wagering requirements, while bets on sports or in-house games count only 50% toward the wagering requirement. So no, this is not something unusual.

Their terms and conditions talk nothing about sports betting or the sportsbook, so my guess is they later introduced the sportsbooks after previously launching with other games, and they forgot to update the terms of service.

It is likely the sport betting does not count towards the wagering requirements

I agree with what @satscraper said about the possibility of data breaches happening on any platform, but what worries me is that Ledger doesn't seem to care enough to at least post a warning on their social media ^{[SMH (it literally takes a minute)]}.

In that case, I don't think it's a good idea to include Arkade Wallet and Blitz in the OP. Or, at least, he can add them with a visible note, informing the readers that your bitcoin will automatically be swapped from L1 BTC to L2 BTC. Without such a notification, someone might find this thread and decide to test one of those two wallets, only to find themselves in a situation where their bitcoin is gone and was swapped to something they never requested.

But the original post includes Phoenix. It also receives bitcoins to Taproot addresses and immediately forwards those bitcoins to L2.

Blitz and Arkade can both send bitcoins to Taproot addresses too. So they fit the list just fine.

Quote from: NotATether on January 01, 2026, 08:56:40 AM

But why do this? Well OK I guess for Arkade it makes sense because this is an Ark wallet, and not really a regular Bitcoin wallet, and to use the Ark layer we'd make use of Taproot addresses.

Blitz was never an onchain wallet either. It started as an LN wallet built for the Greenlight architecture, and later migrated to Spark.

But if you want to purchase crypto with fiat, you can do so with seven different fiat currencies: Those are EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, NOK, SEK, and JPY. The supported fiat payment options are: PayPal, MasterCard, VISA, Paysafe card, Google Pay, and Trustly. No Apple Pay, though.

Yeah I know but I don't plan on making any purchases on the site yet because I have crypto in my wallet (campaign payment) and I just want to see more local currencies in the game (just hope for the future) By the way I have made my 2nd deposit this week unfortunately still no luck, I don't know why these games are not friendly with me even though usually these games are friendly to new users Cheesy

next time I will probably ignore slot games and just focus on sports betting.

Punkz do have daily loot boxes which can give random rewards and with different level with increasing rewards. I still have no luck to hit rewards on this boxes but I believe high level boxes can offer something good.

I think he could mention anything here for the team to consider. Actually Rakeback and Cashback are available here but I don't know if it works on sports betting

Yes, Remember Me feature keep you logged in without log out automatically. But if the site still activating this feature, the account will logout automatically especially if you leave the site or don't do anything.

If the casino has created a "Remember Me" or a "Keep Me Logged In" feature, then players should remain logged in until they decide to log out themselves. This isn't the case with Bitz. Even if you tick that option, the casino logs you out every day. The "Remember Me" feature is not useless, but in my opinion, it also doesn't do what it's supposed to. I never went through the settings in my account to see if this can be edited in any way.

Maybe they will modify it later so we don't have to keep re-login.

I feels the site is a bit slowly than yesterday. This is my first login on this day. Anybody have the same as me? Hope that is just from my end and not from the server.

If you are talking about users from restricted countries, then the casino should not allow them to access their website completely and not only display a warning or a notification message. But, that’s just my opinion!

I think the notification message is enough if done correctly. It should display a warning that the person is accessing the casino from a banned territory and that they are not allowed to play there. If they decide to ignore it and proceed, they should be responsible for the consequences of their actions.

I look at that the same way I look at speed limits on the road. They tell you how fast you are allowed to drive, and they serve as a warning not to drive faster than that. If you ignore them and do what you want, don't be surprised if you get pulled over by the police or get a speeding ticket in your mailbox in the near future.

However, before a user should be able to login to their gambling account the casino always gives a warning messages that this casino is not permitted to operate in your country. Sometimes you won't be allowed to login to the casino due to the restrictions except that person login with VPN or tor where he would want to bye-cute the the restrictions without knowing that he could face another penalty while trying to access the site illegally.

The warning message clearly before the user is allowed to log in is often sufficient as it will advise the users that the casino is not permitted in their country. When one chooses to disregard such a warning and proceed on, particularly with the aid of a VPN or Tor, he/she is entirely cognizant of the danger that they are about to get into. In this scenario, the user should be blamed as opposed to the casino because the rules were very clear since it was announced initially.
