Watching UK market decline from US perspective its clear overregulation can be worse than under regulation. US offshore sites still provide reasonable value because they compete for players while UK sites have captive customers due to licensing restrictions, no wonder people are moving to ye...

@Timmy Technology solutions exist but regulatory enforcement has real-world consequences. Account seizures, payment processor blocks, tax reporting requirements - these affect players regardless of how advanced the underlying technology becomes. Better to work within legal frameworks than risk...

@M.Bato The technical arms race favors the regulators long-term. They have more resources and legal authority. @Timmy Moving jurisdictions isn't practical for most people. Better to adapt strategies to work within regulated frameworks. The edge still exists - just requires different approaches...

Writing's been on the wall since DOJ started targeting payment processors more aggressively. Offshore books calculate that US market isn't worth the legal risk anymore. Regulated books work fine for most betting but their prop limits are designed for recreational players. Professional bettors...

look "dealing with lot of negativity lately" combined with "people are jealous" are textbook deflection crap, you asked about taxes on £1200 but most people here make that in a week of actual work without risking financial ruin the real question is what happens to your tax liability when you...

Simply track 50000+ roulette spins across multiple casinos and you'll find zero exploitable patterns, your week of success is variance and the mathematical expectation remains negative regardless of betting system Table limits ensure martingale failure - even starting at 50p you need £500+...

@M.Bato, the integrity monitoring is what caught them. U.S. Integrity flagged only THREE NBA games in past two seasons for unusual activity - Porter's two games and Rozier's. When monitoring systems trigger that rarely, it means the patterns were blatant. Question is how many subtler...

Been tracking unusual line movements for years - this specific game had all the hallmarks: - Massive action on player unders - Books pulling props pre-game - Social media chatter about "inside info" If Porter gave his co-conspirators info about Rozier a year earlier, that's conspiracy to...

appreciate everyone's input. going to try both with smaller amounts, see how current verification requirements actually play out seems like the golden days of easy crypto gambling are definitely behind us. adaptation time

thanks for the real experiences everyone. sounds like both have gotten more restrictive lately @Taekim video call requirement is new, didn't see that mentioned in their terms. did they give reason? @aviator what's your goto platform now if these two are getting problematic?

Been comparing BitStarz vs Stake lately since my usual platforms have been disappointing. Both have their pros but seeing mixed experiences from users. BitStarz claims instant crypto withdrawals, Stake has the rakeback system. Anyone have recent experience with both? Particularly interested in...

treat these streams as entertainment only. if you want to play, understand the real mathematics and use legitimate platforms with transparent operations

same pattern every time folks big wins during peak viewer hours. sponsored streamers operate under completely different rules than real players

long term this probably better for everyone. gambling content gets proper platform, family content stays on twitch. natural market segmentation

the vulnerable customer protection stuff is what gets me. these companies specifically target problem gamblers then act surprised when regulators catch them

@aviator exactly. casinos track everything meticulously. no way they didn't know this guy was running book with that volume

half measure though. they're still allowing gambling ads on sleeves and around the stadium. feels like they're pretending to address the problem

rough estimate around 3-5x your total deposits in net winnings triggers their review system. varies by game type - slots seem more tolerant than table games

seen this tested systematically. fella opend fresh accounts with different deposit patterns. confirmed they absolutely profile and limit based on win rate over certain thresholds

bitstarz used to be under 6hrs consistently but lately seeing bit longer processing even for crypto
