The fact that many legal cases have arisen due to the availability of criminal components in entertainment applications proves that innovation that lacks the aspect of security is an awful catastrophe. In my opinion, the Philippine government has a good case to act in order to secure the future of our youth. The blockage of criminal hunters is the irony, which proves that it is irrational to impose internal rules in the company. More transparency needs to be sought as any threats will be responded to immediately.

Yeah, after reading more articles about it, the Philippine government's main issue with Roblox isn't that there are games that resemble gambling, but the presence of pedophiles and drug traffickers targeting children and grooming them, and from the looks of it, this has been a long issue in Roblox, and they have faced lawsuits over it. What's more ridiculous is that I saw an article where a guy is hunting alleged pedophiles in Roblox, but Roblox banned him.

Or maybe it's about damn time for Roblox to moderate the game strictly and thoroughly. Everything that are suspicious and inappropriate in-game should be moderated immediately.
There have been reports that illegal trades (drugs), groups of extremists, pedos, violent contents, as well as gambling, inside the game. Is Roblox tolerant to these activities? It's just impossible that they're being unaware of it, and did not take actions to prevent it.

Yup, you're correct, but what can I do in this case? There is no place to complain, and even if there is an email to contact, I am sure it wouldn't be responsive.

Also, it's not only about me or one country as I am also sure there would be many countries for which the refund process hasn't started and may not start at all. Every concerned authority knows about it and they are keeping their eyes shut. We should only assume that our funds are lost permanently.

I experienced a complementary one, in the sense that I entered the room, a lady had dictated the numbers to play but the guy beat different numbers, the lady refused to pay the ticket.
The owner of the room had an angry and sad face in the same way, because he had to get the money out of his pocket and obviously he couldn't due to conflict of interest, he looks at me and says: friend, will you take this ticket? I didn't hesitate and took that ticket, the first numbers come out and I don't win anything, but we didn't realize that that ticket was for the next round (I was about to throw it away) when the holder stopped me and told me READ carefully before throwing it away it's for the next round, so I stayed another 20 minutes waiting for my turn and won a few hundred euros (I don't remember the exact amount) it was fun and I was incredulous.

Consider the suggestion from Darker45 above. I think if you spread this and get more visibility by posting to social media accounts while linking BitStamp there is a big chance that BitStamp will solve your case because I think they don't want their business to be embarrassed. Just like other businesses, if someone posted something that can hurt their business, they immediately take some action to resolve the case.

So I suggest try to get more visibility about your case bring them to Facebook, X, Reddit, and other social media accounts. I hope that they respond immediately and solve your case.

The additional Telegram link once a user register for the webinar did hint "Lawyer" but I didn't go past there even though I've accessed his link on a sandboxed environment.
I bet 0% of the users who replied here actually watched OP's webinar (registered or not), if not, about 1%.

@OP Since you're probably affiliated to the website, not just a link you stumbled upon since there's a reference link attached to it:
It would be best if it didn't require to register just to watch/listen, that alone stopped some of those who are slightly/actually interested in it.

It’s a bad idea to gamble in casinos like that. If you look at a lot of gambling adverts, they feature attractive women, and that’s because the part of the brain that controls sexual desire is the same one that controls risk-taking. So getting turned on doesn’t exactly help with responsible gambling. It’s better to keep the two things separate.

The problem with Bitcoin's deflationary mechanism, is that people will tend to hoard it more than they would use it for daily payments. That's why Fiat is inflationary by design (to help encourage spending by its holders). Minimal inflation will help prevent a currency from losing its value too quickly, while keeping it "spendable". When inflation rises too much, that's when it becomes a huge problem. For Fiat currencies with "hyperinflation", Bitcoin remains the ideal alternative.

At least, Bitcoin can't be "printed" at will. That's one of the few advantages it has over Fiat. Bitcoin only needs to improve scalability and become relatively-stable (as in market price) enough for mainstream use. Hopefully, it'll manage to achieve this in the long term.

Bitcoin and fiat currencies are different and opposite in their supply models that already shown by their opposite purchasing powers over years. Fiat currencies has lost their purchasing power over years like an example of the US Dollar.

Bitcoin has its increasing purchasing power as we see with Bitcoin price or with the following chart for satoshi purchasing power.

Two charts are strongly and clearly show opposites between fiat currencies and Bitcoin in purchasing power changes over time.

I like how you put it that way, this should really be redemption fight for Casimero. And if we go further, we could say that this is really a must-win for him otherwise, it could be the end of his career and won't get any chance to fight quality boxers.

Yes, that triangle theory, but it could be that in boxing, this theory doesn't work. So Casimero still has a good chance to beat the man if he would just focus on training and avoid noises like his former trainer saying that he won't win against Nery.

You are absolutely right, though the thread subject or title said gambling specifically, the op in the thread focused on sports betting, of which I believe he specifically was created this thread with sports betting in mind but failed to title the thread accordingly, this is can pardoned😁

Now, speaking of games like dice, crash plinko, keno, blackjack and the rest of other casino games, all these games are games where the player or gambler solely is dependent on luck to win, you are absolutely correct that hurrying, being fast or slow does not matter here, and this also extends to slot games as well as this is also a game that is purely luck based, if a gambler will be carrying out any form of analysis for this type of games, it definitely should be on how to effectively manage bankroll to help the gambler spend longer time playing before they run out of balance, because anything other than this is simply a waste of time.

It not be that the guy has a lot of money, if we investigate it could be that the $10,000 it was part of his savings he had at the time. Many of the customers that will be illegible for this distribution may be those that did not trust the ability of the exchange "FTX" that the process will be successful eventually, cause at that point FTX has already destroyed the trust given them initially.

When trust is broken it's usually hard to resuscitate it in an instant, there must be trust issues and rigidity of the whole process for completion of forms filling could also be discouraging for many persons to neglect what has been lost.

While FTX announces its 4th phase distribution, we are still left with no option but to wait and see what happens to our funds, as our claims aren't fully registered, as there were no distribution services providers available in our jurisdiction.

Today, I tried to open the portal again to see if there are any further options/instructions for me, but I couldn't even log in to the claim portal now as they sent the OTP to my email, but it never arrived.

Anyone here who was lucky enough to get these details fulfilled and got any refunds in early distributions 

Bonuses are not to test the system, it is there to increase the engagement and obviously, there is no free money here because casino is a business not a charity. Expecting them to double the deposit with 1x wagering is not possible. They give like 10x 20x or higher to protect their bankroll from getting wrecked by luck while still one can make it if they are lucky enough.

Some says bonus are like a play money to test the system. Guess this is because they also find it hard to profit on them but if so, then casinos should rename these. The name bonus doesn't simply fit IMO. Maybe except only to those that only has no deposit requirement and those that has no or only has 1x wagering requirement.

I think no. Say you will register another account on the same IP, these bonus won't pop-up or if you can still see them but you can get an error once you click on them. An abuse is an abuse, no excuses on that. There are only shady casino that alibi's that the player do some abuses by the time they are now on the withdrawal page but I believe these players are honest at most times.

I agree that contests shouldn't be seen as gambling because they are not open to the public to bet and either win or lose also the perticipants are not relying solely on luck to win, their skills can determine who wins the contest. But I believe that some contests have the features of gambling that is if the organizers are doing the contest for profit purposes where many contestants pay to register and after paying the winners more than the amount that they used to register the organizers are making profit. I think such contests are gambling indirectly maybe not for the contestants but the organizers are no different from casinos that have the house edge over their gamblers or contestants in the case of contests. If a contest is not profit driven then it's not gambling in anyway.

Stake inform their users whenever they made changes on their ToS through popup message when you open your account and you need to agree first before that popup message can be closed to assure that user read and agree to the changes.

I don’t see other casino does it and the closest notification that I saw on some casino for the ToS change is an email notification that often being ignored.

The US already have one of the strongest military strategies with a high degree of warfares.
So apparently before they launched the attack on the Iran, every necessary strategies must had been put to place in order to have an edge against the war.

Of course all of the plans and executions of every single move against the war surely consume resources of which we can not say they are loosing a dime in the war rather the costs of resources budgeted for the war may not affect their (US) economy system.
It is also unbelievable that the US government's does not value the lives of their own people. We also see the reactions of the US Presidents when they loses their military personnels.
