At least you learned something about macro risks along the way. Good luck friend

Coming back to dollar dominance since that triggered the debate real factors weakening dollar: - weaponization for sanctions (scares other countries) - massive US debt levels - political instability - trade policy chaos But also noclear alternative yet. Euro has issues, Yuan isn't freely...

The geopolitical angle is genuinely concerning though. I'm old enough to remember when US was unquestionably the global anchor - economically, militarily, diplomatically. Now? Threatening NATO allies, tariff wars, using dollar as weapon, massive debts, political chaos. Other countries noticing

We've heard this argument since the Cold War. Difference now is you've got a president actively undermining NATO while also demanding more money. Can't have it both ways And yes, this absolutely affects dollar confidence. When your main geopolitical tool is military alliances and you keep...

Correct. USDT tracks USD value. If USD loses 20% purchasing power, so does your USDT. And frankly, with current US policy trajectory - massive deficit spending, weaponizing dollar for sanctions, antagonizing trade partners - dollar dominance is genuinely at risk for first time since WW2.

One more thing to consider - some casinos charge withdrawal fees on certain coins. betterr check the casino's fee structure. Some charge nothing for USDT but fee for BTC, others vice versa.

The stablecoin debate comes down to trust: USDT: Largest, most accepted, questionable backing USDC: More transparent, Circle has proper audits DAI: Decentralized but complex For gambling most people use USDT because every casino accepts it and liquidity is best.

Sort of but worth noting UKGC considers it illegal gambling even if the casino accepts UK players. You won't get prosecuted but winnings technically arent legally protected

Been gambling online since early days and have something to sai for both sides here: - Reg.sites: Slower, more intrusive, lower bonuses BUT if something goes wrong you have actual recourse. UKGC can force refunds, arbitration exists - Crypto sites: Fast, anonymous, better terms BUT if they...

They'd be fully legal and regulated like NJ casinos. Real money, all the same games from providers, proper licensing. But also higher taxes, lower bonuses, and mandatory responsible gambling tools. Trade-off is legality and protection vs slightly worse terms

Smart boy also maybe check out social casins too - chumba, luckyland etc. Same sweepstakes model as stake.us but been around longer.

Kinda with one tiny BUT NJ has legal online casinos still they use geoverification. You can create account in NJ but you'd need to physically be in NJ every time you want to play. They check your location when you load games too not just at signup.

Because US gambling law is a mess of contradictory federal and state regulations so your options from NY: Use legal NY online casinos (none exist yet - only sports betting is legal) Use sweepstakes casinos like Stake.us (legal but limited game selection) Risk using offshore casinos with VPN...

@coinhunter California isn't a restricted state for Stake. You don't need VPN from CA. The states Stake blocks are NY, NJ, NV, WA, ID, KY and a few others. OP is asking about NY which is explicitly restricted

Here we go. @coinner what documents did you provide during signup?

Don't beat yourself up too much. These crypto casinos deliberately hide important terms in walls of text knowing most people won't read every subsection. The fact they responded at all is actually a good sign - means they'll probably pay the £50. Some crypto casinos just ghost you after blocking...

Coinner is Cryptorino even licensed? Because if they don't have UKGC license and you're UK based, you've got basically zero protection here. Crypto casinos operating without UK license can pretty much make up rules as they go along. The "max withdrawal from bonus" thing is classic - they don't...

On-chain means bets settled on blockchain itself. No accounts, no deposits sitting on platform. You connect wallet, bet happens on-chain, winnings go straight to your wallet. Regular "crypto casinos" just accept crypto deposits but operate like normal casinos. Your funds sit in their hot wallet...

Megaways had moment its moment when it was innovative. Now its background noise. Still play them occasionally but not specifically seeking them out like before. Win potential still there (justdoit proved that) but magic is gone

Honestly I feel scammed you know, I played slots since BTC was under $1k and RTP decline across all crypto casinos this year is worst I've seen. I mean 2021-2023 most crypto casinos competed on 96%+ to attract players, while 2024-2025 looks more like race to bottom, everyone dropping to 94%...
