Im new to gambling and i have been getting into it a lot more recently, i mostly been doing some live betting during Nhl matches on Bet99 but Im still trying to figure things out. One thing I noticed is I dont know what separates a good bet from just guessing. A lot of the time it feels like I’m just going off instinct or what feels right in the moment.

For those of you with more experience, how did you start improving? Was there anything specific that helped you early on or did it just come with time?

How in the fuck are we okay with this ? The new law basically taxes people whether they win or lose. If you win 100k then lose 100k the same year you will owe taxes on 10% so 10k even tho you didn’t actually keep the money. It’s fucking sick what our government gets away with.

So, I’ve been messing around with this new app for the last week that automates bets on online casino table games, and honestly… I didn’t expect much going in.

I figured it would be another “too good to be true” thing I’d uninstall after a day. But man… this thing has been printing for me.

Basically, their motto is “Take the Emotions out of Gambling” and it is true. I always chase my losses and with this app I don’t! I setup my betting strategy and let it run. I program my max loss, how long it will run and I forget about it! I set it up before bed and let it run for 3 hours and came back to $880 in PROFIT!

I’ve been running it in beta for about a week now, testing different tables and strategies, and I’ve averaged right around $75 an hour. I’m already sitting at $1980+ in profit this week, and that’s with me still learning the settings and not even running it full time.

I have tried the app on several sites including Stake, BetOnline and Bovada but it works with a lot more sites.

The devs just pushed the official release, and they gave me an exclusive 35% off coupon code to share since I was part of the beta group. I wasn’t even planning on posting about it, but after seeing how consistent it’s been, it felt dumb not to at least let other people know it exists. The monthly subscription honestly pays for itself stupidly fast. I made back the cost in the first afternoon. Everything after that has just been stacking.

If anyone wants the code, just drop a comment and I’ll send it over. Not trying to be spammy — just sharing something that’s actually been working for me when most stuff in this space is garbage. If you’ve been looking for a way to make your casino sessions less chaotic, this might be worth checking out.

Their website is www.maxxedbets.com and currently they've got a 3 day free trial running, which I ended up profiting more in that time period than what the subscription costs. It was basically free other than the initial bankroll I put in. See below for my 3 hour session stats!

Been gambling more and more on my phone the last year or two (legal online casino state). It started out just deposting $10 here and there but lately I’ve had some big wins and I’ve been getting more hooked. Had a great week a couple weeks ago but then this past week I was down like $1000 in a few days. Just kept thinking I could win it back and kept losing. So I decided to self exclude from online gaming in my state for 5 years lol. Kind of regret it now because I’m bored and I want to play some Buffalo but it’s probably for the best. I need to save up for a house

The title pretty much says it, I'm looking for Discord/Telegram channels similar to Seal Stats that post the bonuses/freebies from multiple casinos.

Facebook groups would be cool as well.

Thanks

Been trying out a few different sites recently and most of them feel the same tbh — slow withdrawals, weird limits, or just dead games.

I came across one a few days ago that’s actually been alright so far. Decent selection of slots, runs smooth, and withdrawals have been quicker than I expected (at least compared to others I’ve used).

Not saying it’s the best or anything yet, still testing it properly — but it’s one of the few I haven’t had issues with so far.

Just curious what everyone else is using right now? Any sites you’d actually recommend or stay away from?

I'm not sure where this belongs, here or in problem gambling or both. I didn't want to potentially trigger sober players in the problem gambling subreddit by sharing this win replay there, so I decided to share this story here. This is probably a long read, be advised.

I was bet-free for 15 months! Until one night I was extremely bored, sick of everything, and voila, I deposited some crypto in an online casino. Long story short, for the past 6 weeks I was playing almost daily and was up 1k until 4 days ago. I was lying to myself that everything was alright, I’m in control, I know when to stop, I’m up... But one morning I lost 1k, then redeposited 1k, then another, and another until I was 9k down in a matter of 4 hours! The only thing that stopped me from going down more was that I had no immediate access to more cash because I was over the withdrawing limits for the week. I borrowed 2k and lost those too. I tried to borrow more but thankfully no one would. I was sitting on my couch when my son mentioned that he was going to buy something in the summer with the cash he had been stashing for a year. Guess what happened? I took that money from his closet without him knowing and deposited it (in Tunisia you can go to a physical shop to deposit money into an online casino). 450 TND of my son's money.

I was actually down to the last 100 TND in slots where I accepted defeat and decided to play roulette instead, doing all-ins. 100 on black 4 times in a row and I’m back. I decided to start covering numbers too and placed 2 TND on some numbers. Number 7 hit with a 1000x multiplier (XXXtreme Roulette) and I won 2k lol. I was like wtf, this is even better than slots! For the next 7 hours or so I was playing this roulette and swinging up and down. I was even back to 200 TND once, but I gave up at 3.6k TND which was a solid comeback in my book.

I had dinner and decided to go back to slots. I played many and was always swinging from a 2k to a 3.7k balance. I was very tired, it was late, and I was literally exhausted from gambling almost all day long. I needed to make the money I lost back ASAP before my wife found out, or she would literally leave me. Out of desperation, I started doing 9 TND spins when I usually do 0.4 to 2 TND. I landed a bonus and I was so happy, but it only paid 52x. I upped the spins to 18 TND and was actually winning from normal spins. I was so sleepy and so desperate that I upped the spins to 36 TND, saying fuck it, either it gives me my money back or it doesn't. I was actually banking on a normal spin giving a good multiplier, but on my 6th 36 TND spin, what you see in the replay happens.

Now I made my money back with some profit too, and I have been battling the urge not to play again since this win 12 hours ago. This gambling is a disease that hijacked my brain. Wish me luck guys and don’t be a degenerate like me. There were dozens of times where this same thing happened to me and I just lost everything and dug deeper into my debts.

Hello, gamblers!

You can read my first part of this post here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/gambling/comments/1sc8eva/the_stake_marketing_phenomenon/

Lets continue!

It’s 2017. EasyGo is up and running, and Stake has officially entered the market. Owners have crypto casino and their own slot game provider. Now the focus shifts to driving traffic to a new crypto product.

What traffic channels did the founders use?

1. BitcoinTalk — the top crypto forum of the time

Stake followed PrimeDice’s playbook and created a thread on BitcoinTalk in the Gambling section.

2. Signature campaigns

BitcoinTalk users placed a Stake ad signature under every post — paid in BTC. This generated thousands of brand impressions daily across EVERY section of the forum.

3. Promotions

$50K weekly challenge, BTC giveaways, biggest multiplier contests, rake races. The founders’ reputation built through PrimeDice since 2013 handled the trust.

4. Reddit

Announcements and engagement across crypto subreddits (r/bitcoin, r/cryptocurrency, r/gambling).

5. Existing PrimeDice user base

Thousands of loyal crypto gamblers from 2013, effectively migrated to the new platform.

6. Micro-streamers on Twitch

Stake started to bought streamers in 2017, when of the first in this niche. Through 2019, mostly micro-influencers: gamers and crypto bloggers.

7. Banner ads on crypto sites

Via Coinzilla, Stake ran banners and native ads on DexTools, Etherscan, BscScan, and similar platforms.

8. Affiliate program

A referral program paying a percentage of referred players’ losses. Motivated hundreds of bloggers and forum users to promote Stake with no formal contract.

9. Community as marketing

Rain: Stake had an active chat open to all registered users. A bot randomly dropped crypto to active participants every few hours.

Live chat: players communicated in real time — creating the feel of a live casino.

Giveaways: random BTC drops for active chat participants.

Rake races: weekly competitions for the highest betting volume, with a prize pool.

Tip system: players could send crypto to each other directly in the chat.

Users felt like insiders, not customers. Stake built a subculture.

10. The 2017 BTC bull run

BTC went from ~$1,000 in January to ~$20,000 in December. Millions bought crypto for the first time and were looking for somewhere to spend it.

11. Founder’s personal brand

Craven acted like a gambling streamer, not a CEO — played on camera, gave money away, engaged in chats. He posted giveaway and contest links on Twitter and actively ran his crypto account, resonating with the audience and driving significant brand reach.

Result by end of 2018: 100,000+ monthly players (Tehrani, Reddit).

November 2019: sportsbook launch — product expansion.

Hey guys,

I've developed a responsible gambling calculator. It's fully anonymous, doesn't collect data, and it also includes the PGSI score, so it's science-based.

If it reads like a spam link, sorry, that isn't my goal. But if you wonder how science would rate you, it's a good one.

I'm happy that I'm well, but I know some folks aren't. Happy to receive feedback, as well.
