Here's the wild part about the fine - they had multiple warnings over YEARS and still didn't fix anything. Like they thought they were untouchable or something. The investigation found emails from management basically ignoring compliance team warnings. Pure greed. They even had a system to flag...
@hopes That's actually a good point. If you're gonna gamble with XRP, maybe keep transaction amounts small enough to fly under the radar. Most crypto casinos have withdrawal limits anyway.
@VelvetGambler if you're just starting with craps, here's what you need to know - stick to pass line bets with full odds. Best odds in the house, period. Everything else is sucker bets until you learn the game properly.
Here's what the legal NY betting scene looks like right now:
FanDuel
DraftKings
BetMGM
Caesars
PointsBet
WynnBET
Resorts World
BetRivers
All licensed and regulated. Plus they have decent apps that actually work!
Lemme drop some actual math here - using perfect basic strategy in blackjack gets the house edge down to about 0.5%. Compare that to slots at 3-5% or worse. No wonder casinos hate advantage players!
@hopes Nah, it's not just you. Casinos can actually choose different RTP settings for Pragmatic slots within certain ranges. That's why some sites might feel "looser" than others.
The thing with Bovada/Ignition is they're US-focused. They tolerate VPNs less because they're trying to stay legal in gray markets.
BC.Game and others don't care because they're fully crypto.
Let's be real about odds and RTPs:
Standard slots: 96-97%
Live games: 97-99%
Crash games: 99%
But remember, these numbers are theoretical. Short term anything can happen.
