New Currency Rules: Please Read. Applies to ALL Contests

[cocopop3011]

Hello everyone, and welcome to our new and improved contests that are about to start this year. 

Due to recent events with currencies, we will have some new rules this year. However, you are ALL reminded that our contests are and will be MULTIPLIER contests. When scoring the leaderboard we do NOT take into account what bet the person would have made if it was in EUR. If you want to take your time to convert people's bets, please make sure these comments remain outside of our contest topics. Any replies regarding this matter in contests this year will be removed to prevent arguments. But you can, of course, PM me with your concerns instead. 

With all that being said, we do need to implement some rules to allow our contests to run more smoothly. These rules are non-negotiable, but I will leave the topic open for any questions. 

NEW RULES

1. ALL members can use their local currency. 

New members may be required to submit ID documents to prove their country if playing in a weak currency. We will require a document with your picture and full address. 

 

2. No one is allowed to purposely play in a weak currency to gain advantage over other players. No specific currencies will be listed but you SHOULD check with admin before picking a currency that is not your local one, USD, EUR or GBP. If you post a screenshot with a weak currency and it is not your local currency and you did not check first, the screenshot WILL NOT be accepted. 

 

Any members using IDR (Indonesian Rupiahs) and INR (Indian Rupees) will need permission first. New members who reside in a country where this currency is your local currency will need at least 100 forum posts to take part in our contests using this currency. This is to prove that you are an authentic player. Existing members who reside in these countries are not permitted to use these currencies unless you have already proven this is the usual currency you play in. 

 

3. No cryptocurrencies will be accepted 

 

4. You must play slots with at least 9 lines or more, and ALL paylines must be active at all times. 

We reserve the right to amend these rules at any time. We also reserve the right to refuse entry to any member who finds a loop hole that would allow them an unfair advantage over other users. 

The only time these rules will be negotiated is if something comes up that I have not thought of that would make the contests unfair. You are all experienced players, so I will welcome any feedback, but these rules will be enforced immediately. 

Thanks for all your patience!

So I play in INR and my base bet is INR 10 for all providers barring BOOMING and Pragmatic. For pragmatic its INR 7 which is around 0.9 cents. My INR 10 bet is almost twice of 10 cents NZD. 1.5 times of CAD and AUD. Also 1.10x more than Euro and USD. On what calculations did you come to the conclusion that INR is "Weak currency"? 

My local currency is INR and I do not get deposit bonuses in my currency. Why should I be forced to play in Eur or USD when other members can play in NZD, AUD or CAD? If NZD is not my local currency then Euro is also not my local currency.

OMG, @cocopop3011 is now MI5!? (Screenshot below)

Okay, quick question on paragraph #2. You have no problems with CAD because it can go hand in hand with USD. 

For paragraph #3, I'd assume it was too much reading up on cryptos that you decided to remove them. Ah, such a shame but I'm with you on this.

For paragraph #4, I hate you! There was only one member that found that out, how could you state this so early in 2025!?!?

Where did I say you can’t play in this currency?  Maybe you should re read the rules on existing members dear.

@Blackjax did you skip this part? 

[Blackjax]

@cocopop3011 why cant we have a rule of minimum base bet of 10 cents? Trust me this will save you a lot of headache in future.

I’ve already said we are not imposing this rule and it won’t be discussed further.

I’m not very clued up on them I will admit, but from what I can see there could be unfair advantages so I feel like a total ban on these would be the fairest way forward.

@Blackjax I also stated this rule. I have not put a blanket ban on any currencies and I certainly would not impose a rule that meant any current members could not play anymore after all the effort you all made last year. We are still growing our contests and forum and our aim is to be inclusive of as many people as possible, whilst still maintaining as much fairness as possible. 
 

There will always be times where someone thinks something is unfair, or new issues pop up as we don’t have the automated technology casinos have to run these contests. 
 

But I hope you’re feeling better about the new rules now? If not please PM me.

Its all good @cocopop3011.

I want to know if cryptocurrency casinos like 500.casino are still okay places to use. They have cryptocurrencies as well as fiat currencies. Would you strictly oppose to this @cocopop3011?

The rakeback is so !

@Icy Bro, you always seem to not get the whole picture. @cocopop3011 has already ruled that cryptocurrencies are not allowed. If you're playing at a crypto casino but betting with fiat currencies, then that is allowed.

@cocopop3011 Am I correct dear?

Correct dear. @Icy as long as you are playing in a fiat currency you are good to go my friend.

Okay thanks for confirming that it's only the cryptos and not the casinos themselves. 

For missing the whole picture, I'll try to miss it as much as possible in the future
