It's that time of year again - several posts asking that admitted students withdraw from other schools early so that other students can take those slots. There's a lot of things wrong with this and I want to clarify them so none of you make a serious mistake.
1. Your applications and acceptances are yours. You paid the application fee, you did the work to warrant consideration, and you put the application together. Don't feel bad for other people who might get waitlisted or rejected. Keep your options open until you need to close them.
2. You aren't actually helping anyone. You can only take one spot at one college. Every top university will end up with full enrollment, like they do every single year. This is four years of your life and six figures of someone's money on the line - you owe it to yourself to make this decision based on what is best for you, not some random other applicant. That is not your problem and there is literally nothing you can do to help that person. Thinking you can is like helping the poor by not buying a lottery ticket, thereby increasing their odds of winning. It's silly.
3. Let colleges manage yield. Colleges admit people knowing full well that not all admitted students will enroll. They have a timeline for issuing acceptances, assessing enrollment, and addressing yield and the waitlist. They know way more about historical numbers and the current situation. You do not owe anyone else your spot.
4. Withdrawing early probably won't impact the waitlist timeline anyway. A lot of people say you should withdraw anyway so other students might find out their results sooner. According to former admissions officer FeatofClay:

I keep seeing this exhortation (that withdrawing helps waitlisted students get in earlier) on this community. I'm curious as to the source of this "conventional wisdom," and a sense of how many schools where this holds true.
There were years in the past when we'd use the pattern of March deposits to try to predict May 1 deposits, and we might admit more people in March and April since we anticipated being down on May 1. However, we learned that the "signals" we got in March ended up being too unreliable to change our admit plans. We don't do that anymore. So whether you say "no" on March 20 or on May 1, that wouldn't change the timing of decisions for students who were still waiting.

And even if it does move the timeline up, that's not your responsibility.
5. Don't try to "be nice" by giving up your spot at a college because your situation could change. This is the biggest reason not to withdraw early. Schools give different, often wildly different, financial aid packages (Seriously I've had students get $50K+ a year from Columbia and only $20K from WashU, as well as many other similar examples). Even if you have your heart set on a school and you got in, it might prove too expensive to be a viable option. Experience has shown that you will have an easier time negotiating for more financial aid if you have multiple offers. You could also have a family medical emergency, loss of employment, or other calamity that affects your decision on where to go. You could get threatened with rescinded admission for getting 2 Bs. You could decide you want to be closefurther from home. You could decide to major in bioengineering instead of economics and therefore switch from UChicago to Georgia Tech. There are hundreds of reasons why your plan could change, so don't close doors for yourself before you have to.
6. Read the details of the admissions agreement and follow them. Early action programs don't require you to withdraw other applications, so don't do it until you've made your decision. Early Decision programs usually do require that you withdraw other applications, but only after you have received your financial aid package (and it is affordable). Don't play games or try to find out where else you can get in just to inflate your ego. Keep your end of the agreement you signed. But also, don't withdraw your applications until you're SURE of where you're going.

I was asked to make a post about some stories within the Casino grounds so I thought I'd share. I have many so I'll do my best to pick the better ones.
Some back information: I've been a Casino Dealer for 11 years, I've been a supervisor for five years, and I've been a Surveillance Operator for one year. I've worked at three properties, none of which are connected or owned by the same company. I've worked on : Government/Private/Native American owned casinos.

1. From Hero to Zero.

At my first Casino, I was one of the first group of people who were trained to deal Roulette . After 4 weeks of working 6PM-3AM then doing roulette training from 3AM-8AM (Not paid) , I actually really enjoyed the game and after about six months I became extremely quick at the number game and the pace of the action was steady with very low margin of errors. Young man walks in, cashes in for $500. He buys in for $2 chips and just loads the board. After a few spins and pretty decent hits, he then changes his chips from $2 to 5$ then to $10 and racks his winnings up to $10,000. It was then, five spins in a row, he loaded the board with some pretty gross bets, and every spin I would hit the ONE number with either NO CHIPS on it, or maybe 1 chip , He lost all $10,000 in a matter of minutes. He leaves , and I go on break. After my break I was going back to the same table and wouldn't you know it, the same young man walks in and cashes in another $500. He tells me he just sold his car outside and this is all that he had left. So we do the same deal, buys in for $2 chips, then slowly starts betting $5 chips, $10, $25...and he makes $10,000 AGAIN. Within the next 25 minutes it was straight agony. Every spin, same thing, he would bet $2500 in chips, and win only $250, $400, and after about a half hour he lost it all . Never saw the guy again.
2) Man down
At this property, we are 24 hours for table games. It's currently 5AM , and I'm dealing some $25 Blackjack to this guy. He's probably early thirties , heavy guy. He's sober as can be, but right away I can tell he's been losing. We know how much you've bought in for, how much your down, or up, and I could see he was down $2000+. After about twenty minutes of pure losing, his temper starts to flare.At this point I now have two other guests at my table. Drinking coffee, not saying a word, just losing their money. After losing hand, after hand, this guy looks me straight in the eye, seized up, starts shaking, he can't move. He tries to punch towards me and smashes his stack of chips all over the place and falls backwards to the floor. I call for security, we cannot touch him due to liability . I can't move from my table because, well, liability / casino cash property, all I can do is try to talk to him. As I'm doing so, these other two woman who are sitting at my table just look at me and one says "OK, dealer, cmon lets go " as she taps the table telling me to start dealing and forget about the guy having a stroke on the floor. As security takes him to the ambulance out front, I had to stay behind for a couple minutes and give a statement. I go on break. I come back, and 45 minutes later, he comes right back in with a oxygen tank and keeps gambling for the remainder of the morning.
3) You get a dildo, and YOU get a dildo!
On a late summer Saturday night, we had a large event for these massive muscle guys/strongman competition type thing. After their show, I'm at the roulette table , and five of these boys come over to play. They were absolutely hilarious. They were feeling pretty good, cashed in somewhat large amounts and I could tell this was going to be a fun time. After about a hour of dealing to these guys, it's almost midnight, everybody is pretty hammered , I spin the ball, and all five of these guys take out these god damn (what I can only tell was) two feet purple dildos from inside their pants, and wiping them around in the air. The ladies were just loving it, one of the dildos landed in the roulette wheel and we had to shut the table down to re-calibrate the wheel to make sure nothing had been changed. I just remember that night was so much damn fun, I couldn't believe what I was seeing and I would never forget it.
4) Full Moon
On this day, I was actually training dealers / supervising them on small games like Three Card poker. We opened the table at 10AM, and this older man came and sat down . He played all day. The jackpot was $21,000 and that was pretty high for this table. He played, and played and played. He's one of the players where you know he's wearing a diaper because he's been drinking coffee/pop all day and hasn't moved in eight hours. As the day went on, this man never moved from his chair. Getting closer to midnight, he was aggravated and said "I need to go have a smoke, I'm getting killed in here". He left, and the very next hand, the lady beside him was dealt the jackpot . He didn't say much, but you could just tell he just hated life at that very moment because had he not gotten up, it would of been his hand. The man calmly took his cane , his hat, jacket, coffee, and left. The next morning I found out when he did leave he drove his car straight through his bank and was arrested.
5) Slick Robber
I actually give props to people who can actually pull this off. This story may confuse you so I'll try and explain things as best as possible. A lot of casinos have machines as soon as you walk through the front doors. A man walks up to one of these machines and sticks in HIS $100 bill. He doesn't gamble it, instead he hits the cash out button and gets a $100 TITO ticket where he then takes the ticket to the ATM machine to get his $100. Now remember, his Original $100 is in the slot machine. He then takes the $100 from the ATM and goes back to the same machine, and repeats this process over a hundred times. Essentially he's taking money from the ATM, and loading up the Slot Machine . Now he knows he can't do it too much because if the slot machine gets full of money, the machine will shut down and the slow attendant will have to take all the cash out. So he deposits over $10,000 , then has a small crowbar, he cracks the machine open and makes a run out the front door. To my knowledge he was never caught . But damn, that was pretty smart .
EDIT:
6) Mental Health is a thing.
10PM man walks in to play some high limit BlackJack. This guy knows the game and played well. Dressed nice, drank juice/tea , a little bit of a attitude, cashed in over $10,000. When this man was half way down his buy in, he said something a long the lines of "If I don't win here tonight, I'm going to go set myself on fire." I wasn't sure if he was serious because when people are down, they tend to say a lot of nonsense. I actually left early that night, and from a third party was told he did exactly that in the parking lot. The next day it was clear something terrible had gone wrong in the parking lot .
EDIT:
7) Nothing good happens after midnight
After a busy Saturday night, I was dealing a mix of games, and during this story I was in the middle of Blackjack. I had one young kid (probably 19) sitting in the middle, one older male probably in his later 40's sitting beside him on his right, and I had a really nice couple in their 20's sitting together at the other side. This young kid wasn't playing just sort of watching, and ever time the old man won he would give this young guy some of his winnings. The older man, was a wine drinker, and he had black between all of his teeth, I'll never forget. He's a little drunk but nothing terrible. As the night goes on, the older man goes and uses the washroom, at which point the couple asked the young guy "Oh was that your dad?" and the young guy says "Hah, no I wish!". The couple and I just looked at each other. This old guy, was in complete control over this kid. Absolutely disgusting. The night ends, and I find out the couple called a few of their friends, and they all waited outside by this old mans truck and beat the living hell out of him. 40 years old, sleeping with a 19 year old, completely brain washed . Very weird.
8) That one co-worker where you just wish they would quit.
One of our co-workers, nice guy but had a very big ego and we as employees just sorta left him alone. One day he had enough of the atmosphere and quit. Now usually when you quit, you cannot come back until you paperwork is finalized. How ever, HR was in that day, and he was given the paperwork the very next day. He came in, cashed in $1000, and made $50,000 in about a hour at the Baccarat table. My manager, was extremely annoyed, because now this guy is just mocking the casino and having the time of his life (Thanks for the big tip by the way :) ) and so he decides to call it quits. He wants to ban himself and he wants $50,000 in cash. The casino says Nope, we are going to give you a cheque. Now here's the thing, most business people will take the cheque, how ever you CANT CASH the cheque until the following monday because it's on that day where the funds are available. The casino on the other hand will cash their own check in anytime , because they want you to play. So this guy pretty much said go to hell I want my cash, and he called the police. Police show up, and management promptly gave him the cash.I though it was absolutely hilarious .
​
9) No good deed goes un punished
I was dealing Three Card Poker, and the jackpot was around $17,000. This old man (a regular) was sitting there all day grinding it out. Super nice guy, always a pleasure to deal to. Well, after hours of playing, he stands up and says "Hey john!, can you come here for a minute?" so his buddy John comes over. He says to John "I need to go take a piss real quick, can you play my card until I get back?" John agrees . John takes the chips and I stop him and explain he can't play his friends chips, he needs to cash in and play his own. And he does. Welp, second hand out and bam, doesn't he win it. The old man comes back and is so happy, he can't believe it. John, took his $17,000, didn't say a word to his "buddy" and walked away. I never felt so much hatred in all my life. Didn't give him a dollar, not a thank you, nothing. The old man sits back down again, the progressive resets to $2500, and he sat there grinding away again.
10) The Top Knot
I had this player , young guy, who was born into a fortune. One of his relatives passed away and left him a pretty big sizable amount of money, so he played poker every single day for the rest of his days. I will add, he IS a good player. I did not enjoy his company just because of the "Know-it-All" attitude, but he was good. We'll call him John. John is 5'10, and well build, with muscle. John also decided today was the day to show off his Top Knot. (google top knot if you're not sure what I mean) So he sits down, and he's absolutely KILLING the table. Every hand, after hand, after hand. And because he's in such a good mood, he's playing any two cards, calling any $500 bet, and he's just dominating. This one guy at the table decided he had enough. He got up, without saying a word and left. A moment later, he comes back in, walks behind John, and takes a pair of scissors , and cuts off his Top Knot. I for one couldn't believe it, dying laughing inside, and it just turned into one big brawl. That was a good day.
11) That one bad seed
One of my best friends who I haven't seen in YEARS ended up being part of the crew. Was kind of nice to catch up. We never really got along as we grew up because he has a very high picture of himself . He wanted that 10/10 woman. A mansion, and a new Corvette. So every month or so we would all go up to the other casino to play. I myself would bring no more than $500, but I couldn't understand how this guy (we'll call him Kyle) was spending THOUSANDS of dollars at the tables. So this wen on for a few months. Well, one day, as we're closing the casino, he and I are in the High Limit room and we're getting ready to close the tables. We are told to take the chips out, count them, put them back, sign this piece of paper and that's it. Well as the supervisor was locking the tray, the piece of paper fell to the floor, so she asked Kyle to grab the piece of paper. As he bends over, a great big $500 chip falls right out of his sock. Kyle was fired immediately , but it all made sense. They offered Kyle a deal where if he replaced all the stolen chips they would not make it public. Not sure how that turned out.
12) If I ever decide to write a book, this will be the last chapter: <3
After working at my first Casino for five years, I met a Indian woman who was visiting from another part of the country. During this time I was explaining a game to her, which honestly I don't think she even cared. She explained she was visiting and sight seeing , and that was that.Well, two years later I ended up moving to the other side of the country and transferred casinos, and low and behold she worked there as a Dealer. We got married , and it's been 5 years.
13) The Tip
One of our tables that we've had for a couple years had a progressive jackpot that had reached $100,000. The dealer at the table was sitting pretty lonely. Nobody really played the game because people knew it was extremely difficult to win the jackpot. My memory is a tad foggy, but you somehow needed to flop the royal flush. This young guy sits down and says to the dealer, we'll call him John. "John, if you pay me that jackpot, I will tip you $10,000" Well John started dealing, and about a half hour into his shift, he F*cking did it. He dealt him the royal. And you know something?This young lad, kept his word, and he made sure there was a audience, and he tipped exactly $10,000. That was a moment right there. That pay cheque was real nice. I think we all got about $500 more than usual. The moment that jackpot was awarded they got rid of the table because the money it was making was not near what the casino wanted. I'm sure there have been bigger tips at other casinos, but that was something special .
14) The Lawsuit
Now this story I'm going to have to beat around the bush a bit due to the nature of what happened. I can't won't answer any questions that you may have on this topic other than what I have to say because it had a lot of publicity . The waitresses at this casino had to wear very thin sexy clothes. Not borderline legal, but it was noticed. One day they called all the waitresses to come in and explained they were changing their outfit to something even more sexier. Now these new dresses were very very borderline legal . The staff said No way. We're not wearing that.So , friday night comes, and the staff work their whole shift, then at the end of their shift were called into a meeting and were all fired. Welp, one of those ladies father was a pretty big time lawyer. Brough the casino to court and won. They won big. Good for them. We had no waitresses for a couple days haha.
Thanks for reading along, I have many more I can add as the day goes on, those were just some off the top of my head. Feel free to ask any questions of the Casino industry. I don't really have many stories about the surveillance department because that's the one area where I can't really say a whole lot due to its privacy and contracts I was and still am under.

If I'm off on pricing please do let me know or just call me whatever you want like we're on WSB you filthy autist. I'm open to any reasonable offers or price comparisons with other things that have sold here. Full price offers take priority if you're trying to negotiate a lower price and they call dibs.

Yet another hotfix is out, including a number of changes that will most likely make it worth the wait. Notably, the production AI has seen many changes, which should translate into a more reactive and generally more fun to play against unit buildup. We have also implemented equipment tier conversion across the board, which should get rid of the endless stacks of useless equipment that always accrue in the late game. Due to a number of mapping bugs, this hotfix is not at all save-game compatible, and as such any saves will break. If you desire to finish your current games, the manual Mediafire download link is available on the PDX forums; else, enjoy the new additions!

• The KR4 team

Changes
Notable Additions

• The construction/template system for the AI has been considerably overhauled. You should now see the AI properly upgrading their starting templates and building a larger variety of decent units.
• Transamur’s tree has received an update, now focused on taking back the country during the Weltkrieg - as such, its AI will no longer be passive during the war, and may attack Russia if not puppeted by Japan beforehand.
• Equipment is now convertable between tiers - e.g., a 1918 rifle can be upgraded to a 1936 rifle, without making a new rifle from scratch. Upgrading existing equipment is cheaper than making new equipment.
• Rebalanced the League War with how tags declare war and the costs for units - different tags will find it harder or easier.
• The Internationale now has access to exiled Russian Bolshevik military leaders, denoted by a special trait.
• Korea and Taiwan now start as Japanese cores - but with significant penalties, as represented by their new state modifiers. Should the Japanese Empire collapse, those cores will be removed, and cannot be regained.

Reworked/Expanded Focus Trees

• Transamur

New Events

• Union of Britain
• Russian Socialist Republic
• League of Eight Provinces Collapse event chain

New Decisions

• Transamur

GFX

• New portraits for:
  • Ireland: Richard Mulcahy
  • National France: Napoleon VI (all three versions)
  • Netherlands: Jan van Andel, Murk Boestra, Herman van Voorst tot Voorst, Izaak Reijnders, Hendrik Alexander Seyffardt, Gerardus Johannes Berenschot, Petrus Best

Music Mod

• Added two songs from Kaisercat’s latest production, The Divided States.
• Various localization fixes.

Mapping

• Bohemia has been given new, more historically authentic states and population figures. These are merely changes in anticipation for the A-H rework. The OTL Sudeten states are essentially redundant because they only are in vanilla to simulate the temporary 1938-9 border, but there is no need for KR to simulate the Munich Diktat and Pan-German nationalists claimed the entirety of Bohemia. The new states are a compromise between existing administrative divisions, economic units, and rough ethnographic regions with some notable exceptions.
• Fixed a misplaced mountain in Manchuria.
• Added a missing impassable adjacency in the Pyrenees.
• Adjusted Wallonia's build slots.
• Britain now has larger oil deposits.

Miscellaneous

• The ACW no longer spawns four thousand planes out of thin air.
• Australasian factory-building focuses have been given easier triggers.
• Reduced the number of volunteers going to Italian countries.

• The Russian Socialist Republic is no longer punished twice during Reconstruction.
• Russia can now attack Japan after the Fading Sun.
• Added a failsafe for players forgetting to annex Hawaii in the ACW.
• France no longer attacks the Netherlands all the time.

• Romania needs to be at peace and own Transylvania to disband the militias.
• GEA can no longer annex Austria with cores.
• Peru now joins any of Bolivia's wars if the PBC forms.
• The Indian states now receive a decision to attack either of the other two Indian factions if they are somehow already at war, but we are not yet ready to take an attack focus against them.
• Added a failsafe so civil war tags always annex each other after a peace conference.
• Added focus tree localization for the Mutasaffirate of Jerusalem and Suez International Zone.
• Made Savinkov Russia more likely to take Mobile Warfare.
• Romania now immediately joins the Serbian war against Austria if in the Pact.
• The Netherlands now actually embargo Germany in their focus to do so.
• National France now correctly joins Mitteleuropa if the Germans demand it at Lyon.
• Added a decision for Indian countries to attack one of the others if a war between them has started before they can use their war focuses.
• Egypt will now give Arabia to Hejaz in the Ottoman Peace Deal, if possible.
• Nerfed some NFA resistance events.
• Mordacq is promoted to field marshal if he wins the Fight for Influence.
• New England can now core occupied American states, just as the other ACW factions do, though it does so more slowly prior to using its claim America decision.
• France now is told when a Senussi Zawiya is formed and if they have successfully attacked one.
• Made PatAut Georgia idea less punishing and removed a research slot in focus tree.
• Added dynamic coring costs for NFA coring the Metropole.
• Added difficulty slider for OTT in the game rules.
• AI National France now waits for Canada to declare war first, or until 1940.
• CNT can no longer invade Portugal via focus before the 2nd Weltkrieg.
• Added a description for “”An unlikely Alliance” spirit for UoB.
• Added a description for "Resistance to Andesia" spirit for Patagonia.
• The Baku Conference will now give Germany resource rights in Azerbaijan.
• Japan must now be losing the naval war to unlock Kamikazes.
• A slight rebalance to the Japanese air tree.

Fixes
Notable Fixes

Hi, over the course of 4 weeks I’ve made a total of 1800$ and lost it in the span of 2 weeks. I started with a 10$ deposit on a gambling site and I played multiple games until I eventually made my way to 200$ on live casino games then down to 60$, where I tried slots and made a total of $1200. I ended the night off with 960$ from 10$ and was fucking stoked and feeling the best I ever could. I withdrew it and over the course of 2 weeks it never came in my crypto wallet and I can’t really file for support because they would ask for my KYC and then I’d prolly not even get the funds and my dad would kill me if he found out I was gambling (especially since now i lost everything).
Following this I opened 650$ worth of csgo site gambling, csgo cases, and more gambling in general using my real money (I’ve been saving for months and my birthday just passed). I built up a 1200$ cs inventory and this past week I couldn’t hold onto it and deposited it back into these sites and have gambled it all away because I couldn’t really cash it out into real money and the rates I was getting the crypto equivalent was worse than me 650$ initial deposit so my brain told me to gamble it till I was in profit and little by little my whole inventory disappeared and I now have nothing.
This has taken a toll on me mentally and physically. I use to workout everyday and keep up with my social and now I haven’t in a week and respond to everyone every 10 hours. My schoolwork is up to par but I’ve always been a consistent student and I don’t want to slack. I didn’t think I’d be addicted to gambling as I’ve done multiple other things just as bad that haven’t affected me like this but it was probably due to the fact I made it to such an insane number from 10$ I thought I could do anything. Now here I am sharing my story and hopefully never going to gamble again (yes I’ve already started a plan to stop) and I am kind of thankful it’s happening to me now and not when I’m a working adult who could potentially be a crippling gambling addict (although 650$ is a lot of money but if it’s saved me from a future of debt I’m thankful). Now initially I was gambling for the thrill because my profits way exceeded my deposit but these past few days I’ve chased my losses and tried to actually make money (which was never the intent I always knew it was a losing game) because I was delusional to think that I could make it all back easily.
So here I am 1800$ profit down the hole and 650$ of my own money down the hole. I’ve been gambling little amounts since quarantine because I was bored out of my mind but they would be at intervals of like 10$ every other week or so (which is still bad but not even close to as bad as this month). I’m also physically and mentally drained and I haven’t felt worse in a long time. The craziest thing is that no one knows besides who I told that I’m even like this right now and I seem completely normal. I dont have any cravings to gamble right now and hopefully I won’t in the near future as I have accepted my losses and started to do online work to get it back (without gambling). It’s also a test of willpower to see if I relapse or not which I hope I don’t
Now your probably asking me why I wouldn’t just cash out my 1200$ inventory and I can’t even give you a proper answer to that one. It’s mainly because I saw that I’d be selling it at 60-65% lf it’s marker value which breaks even with what I spent and then you have to add in the commission from the website and the fact that crypto is really high rn so the amount I’d be getting isn’t as much as it could’ve been (although I could just hold it it’s bound to go up long term ETH and BTC specifically). So I thought that if I could deposit all my skins on the gambling sites (they take it at like 70% of the market value) and then proceed to gamble it all the way up till 1200$ I could cash it out without losing that humongous chunk of profit because I’m very greedy and pessimistic when it comes to settling down for a reasonable price. Then it went downhill and I lost everything. My luck in every game was horrible I was literally losing every game I played (which doesn’t surprise me it’s like these websites know when your desperate and when your not).
Moral of the story is don’t gamble and if you do use an amount your comfortable with losing. If you do and you lose don’t go back in and if you do and you win cash out and don’t go back in because once you win you get this feeling that you could profit if you just put in a lil more and this is when you’re sucked in. There are better ways to make money (I invested in Bitcoin when I was younger and my profits r insane but I will never touch my btc wallet for money because it’s a long term investment). Don’t chase your losses either if you lose accept that you’ve lost and you won’t be digging yourself deeper in a hole you can’t get out of. I actually hope that you lose the first time you gamble because you’ll probably stay away from it which is way valuable than any sort of winnings you would’ve had.
I should say though that not all of it is your fault (most of it is tho). Online gambling is as enticing as ever especially during a pandemic, and although most of these sites always say “don’t go on unless your 18+” they know that a lot of underage people use their website. These big sites like csgo case opening sites are filled with shiny bright coloured cases with a price tag on them (I’m not saying that they encourage youth gambling but I am saying the layout of the website is appealing to children). Youth are attracted to these shiny colourful cases and they as a result are more likely to deposit these shiny looking cases (this sounds like a stretch but this is my opinion so feel free to disagree). It’s also the fact that it’s SO EASY to deposit onto these sites and withdraw. Since most teenagers have a debit card (or even buying prepaid cards works on most of them), it takes a quick 3 minutes to put on a few hundred dollars if you really wanted to. The withdrawals aren’t usually restricted either unless it’s big amounts in the thousands (which most kids don’t have in the first place) meaning it looks like an easy way to make money and cash out. Most of these sites won’t push for age verification because it’s easy money when teenagers deposit money. And before they even go on these websites, games like csgo and dota 2 have BUILT IN GAMBLING SYSTEMS. These case and cosmetic openings in the game usually cost a small sum of money but are usually the start of thjs gambling interest especially when they get something good from the case and want to put more down. I’d call myself a lucky person considering I’ve unboxed 2 knives, and a red and multiple pinks in a kind of small amount of cases compared to the average person and this just drove me to try my luck on all these gambling sites since I had good luck in the game. These websites and games aren’t “anti- teenage gambling”.
If you read all this and are looking for a reason not to gamble, I hope this helped you and if u read thru all this thanks for listening to my story
TL:DR I’m a 16 year old who made 1800 gambling, then used all my savings after losing some, and am at 0$ currently and physically and mentally drained

Previously on Fused Crystal, we got all of the available badges and ran into an insurmountable problem with a Machine Part and a Waterfall. Y had a bad time and we got some new teammates, so now all seems right with the world. Where to now…?

• We start the day inside Tohjo Falls where we'd been badger hunting, but stepping out on the Kanto side reveals a Trainer! Cooltrainer Megan was so cool she had a Ho-cune that obliterated our team. No wonder she said not many people seem to come that way, the road to the League will surely be filled with other powerful challengers. Worse trouble is, it didn't checkpoint Y in New Bark Town, so we got flung all the way back to Blackthorn City. Oops
  
• After puttering around for a while to make our way back, we get the nerve to try again, and we won! ….With only half the team still standing. XD But Y is a smart kid and decides not to push his luck. Besides, didn't the professor say something about a present?
  
• Y heals up using the machine in Elm's lab and goes to see what it was Elm wanted to talk to him about. Honestly, he just wanted the kid to know he's been such a huge help and his research is going great! And maybe just to help him out in return, he gives Mister Y a Focus Band as thanks. <3 Y wasn't expecting that, and his bag is full, so he just sort of… stares at it. Elm seems to understand though and says he'll hang onto it until the skater is ready.
  
• Heading back out Route 27, we get past Megan, the gatekeeper of the falls, and begin challenging the other Trainers that line the path to Victory Road. Of these, we find another Cooltrainer and, because we deleted Jack and Wade when Y was having a bad time, we get Reena's number! She admits she likes him and wants him to be a new training partner. She's always up for a rematch especially since Y winning this time was totally a fluke. Yeah. Kappa
  
• Reena wasn't lying when she said not to underestimate the Wild Pokemon here and she was right! We found a Snoractyl in the grass and it looks like this bane of our journey is common out here! There's a Rest House out here too though. With the team all back in top condition means we also have a nice training spot. Swiss Suzie evolved into Baytortal! \o/
  
• We get to the awaited gate, make our way to the entrance of Victory Road, and come face to face with true terror! "You need ALL the badges of Johto and Kanto to enter." Nooooooo! D8 Oh but what's this? The door to the east is unguarded meaning we can go to Kanto from here! What glory, what joy! To be able to reach the last three leaders without the need to face Snoractyl!
  
• Y decides to checkpoint at the Pokemon Center and head southward in order to challenge Blaine first. This seems to be thrown out just outside of Pallet Town and we turn back north to challenge Brock.
  
• Healed and ready to go, Y goes to the Gym and we find out quickly we are yet again over powered by an overpowered Leader. Brock greets us by saying he doesn't get very many Trainers from Johto and explains how the Rock-type is impervious to most physical attacks. And frankly we know very well if he actually had the Rock-type, we'd be dead on arrival since he has five Pokemon all in their 50s. Note, Tess, our highest, is only at level 51 and the lone Gym Trainer we fought before this was at 48 and only had one.
  
• Fight, fight, fight! Starting off it's a Lv 53 Tangekrow against our Lv 47 Togetape. The beaked mass is faster, spraying Feb with a Stun Spore to paralyze him, but he still manages to pull off a Fly to put the bird in red health. Tangekrow didn't seem to like that much though as it now Slams down on him, then tries again as he goes for Fly once more. A bit risky with the paralysis, but he nails it!
  
• Next out is Pidgeonaw! Not only is it a huge jump from Lv 53 to 57, using Agility to build itself faster, but smart too! As Feb goes for Fly, the reptilian bird uses Mirror Move, soaring upward as well to dodge Feb's attack then use his own Fly against him! D8 Feb is maaad now, using Fly again to avoid a Hydro Pump and lands a crit to crush the Pideonaw! But it managed to survive in red health and finishes off the monkey-faced bird with a Hydro Pump! Overkill! He's down! We send in Bii to finish the job but as he goes to use Strength, Brock decides to ruin things with a Hyper Potion. Exchanging Strength for Hydro Pump a few rounds, these displays of physical power seem to be going nowhere. Pideonaw switches to Mirror Move to throw Strength at us, but Bii switches to Mega Drain for the knockout!
  
• Next up is Rapidgon2! Oh… dang. Bii tries to use Mega Drain again, but the Fire type merely shook it off and used Agility to get ahead. That looks bad, so we switch in WWW the Dratsprout to take the fall to Tri Attack as we switch to… Bii. Well that was useless XD The speedy robotic stallion goes in on Fury Attack, getting three strikes to bring Bii down to orange. Bii tries again for a Mega Drain, doing minimal damage, and gets lucky as another Fury Attack still only brings him down to low red. Time to switch to Strength before being torn apart by Tri Attack!
  
• We bring in Tess who surprisingly still outsped and narrowly dodges doom a Zap Cannon to try a Rock Smash! ...For being Super Effective, that sure did a whole lotta nothing. XD Fury Attack also missed, and then didn't do much when it hit, so Tess just keeps whittling away at it with Rock Smash. It's down!
  
• Out next is a Jolteckle! Being part Rock-type, Tess succeeded to lower it's defense with Rock Smash, only to be obliterated by Thunder! D8 We only have IRS left, and he unfortunately gets paralyzed by Thunder Wave before getting to use Strength. A couple more Strength attempts just isn't enough as a pair of Thunder strikes ends the challenge. Blackout!
  
• Seeing as we didn't even see his last Pokemon, some serious training might be in order. We head for Pallet Town since the Wild Pokemon there are about the same level as Swiss but we find to our dismay there is no healing place in town. We stopped by Blue's house to find Daisy keeping watch while her brother is out of town so often it's become a nuisance. We find Oak who said we've about 20 Pokemon left to see and a hundred more to catch to complete the Dex. Going to the only other house in town, the kind woman there tells Y that her son, Red, hasn't been home for a long time… but no news is good news, so she's hopeful. Y heads upstairs to check out Red's room, but no sleeping in the bed. Guess it's time to move on.
  
• Surfing down to Cinnabar, we find the city is encased under a mountain with only the Pokemon Center surviving. But Y quickly realizes he's not alone and goes to meet the fellow teen nearby. The guy introduces himself as Blue, a former Champion before Red did him in. Still, his troubles seem so small in the grand scheme of things. Just look at this island. Nature so much as twitches and an entire town vanishes. When faced with that, human problems seem so small. But… he is only human and seeing another, clearly strong Trainer wakes up the competitor in him. He'll return to the gym for Y to battle against. Thanks, man! <3
  
• But while we're here, Y heard there was another leader we had to fight. All healed up, it's time to cruise for Seafoam Island, reduced to nothing more than a few mounds of dirt, and enter the cave to find… Blaine! The crazy old coot cries how he's now homeless and his gym is gone because of the volcano. Waaaah! But he is still a Leader and promises to give Y a shiny new badge if he can beat him. This kid better have Burn Heal!
  
• Here we go, it's Feb versus Hauntchoke! At Lv 50. Guess the game really did expect us to come here first. XD Feb goes first, throwing Strength at it only for us to realize it's a Ghost-type. That doesn't stop it from trying to hurt us with Vital Throw, but Feb's Flying-typing makes it not very effective. As such, Feb shows off by one-shorting it with Fly!
  
• Next out is Weezomoth! Feb still having the advantage, gets to avoid a Sleep Powder using Fly! But he missed!! Weezomoth seemed to be hoping for that as it throws a Sleep Powder at him on the landing. Feb just can't seem to wake up as the moth mutant fills the room with a Haze and whittles him down with Psybeam! The second strike is a crit! He's down!
  
• Next out is Tess who comes in swinging as she strikes it with a Rock Smash! But the Poison typing makes for not much damage. At least she lowered its defense before being put to sleep like her fellow bird. The Weezomoth didn't take to that too well as it suddenly uses Explosion to take them both out! D8
  
• Out now is IRS versus Lanticate! The ratfish turns out to be faster, but it's aim is poor as it misses a Hydro Pump. IRS goes all in on Strength, throwing a couple of rocks as the Lanticate literally takes a chunk out of his health with Super Dang. But another Hydro Pump misses! Blaine tosses in a Max Potion as we continue to throw rocks in high hopes. It's in red. Hydro Pump hits! We're down!
  
• But not out. With only Bii left to fight (well WWW is there too but let's be real) victory is just within our grasp if he can just hold on. No heal. We're faster. Mega Drain hits! It's finished! \o/ Blaine seems pretty sour as he admits he's burned out. Y can have the Marsh Badge! It's said to really help bring out a Trainer's firepower. The old man swears to us that one day he's going to rebuild his gym. You'll see! YOU'LL ALL SEE!
  
• We start to leave when we realize we're not alone in the room. A stranger appeared while the match was going on and Y turns back to find out who he was. It's the Gym Guide! He didn't know where to find the battle since the gym had been destroyed, but the match was over and we won handily. He knew Y was too smart to need his help.
  
• Okay so this isn't important it's just funny. We ended up leaving the gym with only Bii and WWW in our party when we came across a large dragon-hybrid Charazam! Naturally, Chat wanted to catch it, but after the first ball, it torched Bii with a Flamethrower! WutFace The game asked if we wanted to Run and we said no, making some in the party pretty mad because if we died at this point, we'd lose 8,000 poke bucks which we need for Poke Balls since we only have about 30 left. Chat decides "the worm" is too low leveled to successfully run away so we might as well throw balls at it since there's a 45 catch rate chance we'll survive. A menu struggle begins to fight between the pack and running when the pack wins out. And Charazam uses Scary Face. Then Recover. Then Future Sight. Chat is eager and worried that we could still do this if it won't attack, but we're also on a timer before Future Sight hits. We caught it! ….We're COMPLETELY stumped that it worked, but we did it! Now Fly, you fools!! WAHAHA
  
• We wander Saffron a bit before heading to Vermillion where Y decides to go house exploring until he stumbles across the Poke Fan Club. A little chat with some of the members and suddenly he's finding himself listening to the President's whole life story. Yeesh… But even the man seems to know he tends to go on for far too long and thanks the ice skater for being such a good listener by rewarding him with a Master Ball! ...Wait, what?! 8O
  
• Naturally, Chat begins buzzing with ideas to get rid of it as quickly as possible and seems to decide the best choice of action is to go after Lugia thanks to Clair's Silver Wing. Navigating the pitch black of Whirl Islands, we find a large creature in its depths… It's Ho-Cune! Prophecy fulfilled, it's in the Master Ball! ...Though at LV 19, it's staying in the PC XD Since we spent all our money on balls back in Olivine, we decide to badger hunt until we pass out.
  
• Deciding blackout will take too long due to our levels, we manage to navigate out and Fly to Cherrygrove to say hi to the Guide Gent, then to Goldenrod to check up on PG4 and Tazz in the Daycare. Guess some of what Blue said has sunk in and we're just taking some time to appreciate the small things. Like fishing and returning to areas we haven't fully explored.
  
• We found the all mighty Suitwo in the fields of Route 43! Someone call Eusine! And tell him it ate all our Poke Balls! 😂
  
• While exploring around the Lake of Rage, our pack continues to give us problems as we found a Max Potion, met Wesley of Wednesday who tried to give us a Black Belt, and a hermit in a house who tried to give us some Black Glasses. None of which we can carry. There's a bit of a debate as we toss or use a few items to make room and then make the rounds again. This area being so remote, we wouldn't want to come back after all and Wesley is on a time limit.
  
• We also make a stop to go skating in Pryce's gym before saying hi to the man himself. He reminds Y that someday the snow will have to melt into spring. But he's sure Y and his Pokemon will be together for years to come. Cherish it, okay?
  
• At last, it's been teased long enough, Y FINALLY gets the nerve to explore Mt Mortar. We check the main route where a ladder leads to the top of the waterfall, a wide river that spans most of the inner mountain. He stands there without moving for quite some time and Chat starts to wonder if he's contemplating on jumping with a few calling out to him not to do it. (Personally, it gives such a sense of a view that I'm sure it would be mesmerising to watch in real life. Buuuut considering what happened last time we came here, some PTSD is not out of the question.) Back out the door, we move to the cave's "secret" entrance that allows us to Surf right up to the falls and climb it to search the mountain's darker depths.
  
• What's this? An item? Could it be? The secret treasure that has long since eluded us and cost us so much on our journey? It's… IT'S… TM05 Roar! WAHAHA
  
• We run into a Super Nerd who mistakes us for his friend Markus. #YoMarus and #FreeMarkus quickly start trending as we all really want to know who that could be. Upon defeat, Super Nerd Hugh explains that he and his buddy came to explore Mt Mortar, but the guy has gone missing. If Mister Y doesn't mind, could he keep a lookout for a Trainer with a Slowbuto that knows Strength?
  
• Burn Heal… Hyper Potion… Full Restore… A Berry??? Quick Claw… Iron… Max Potion… Max Repel… Max Revive… As someone in the chat put it, this place is quite the Cave of Wonders, huh? But unlike Aladdin and his Magic Lamp, Y has no trouble stuffing as much as he can into his pack! XD
  
• We spot a Black Belt at a dead end and immediately wonder if it's Markus. Much to the Voices' disappointment, it's not. 'Tis the Karate King! The old martial arts master we heard from the Saffron Dojo had gone away on a journey of enlightenment. The King tells us himself he had trained here in the darkness for some time, and now that a Trainer had arrived he wished to battle!! We beat him with Feb and he quickly realizes his Training is not enough. But he offers to give Y a rare Fighting-type Pokemon if he ever returns with an open slot in his party. For now? No thanks.
  
• Going back the way we came, Y spies the curious outline of a boulder. And he's looking for someone with Strength… Might see if he can still find Markus.
  
• TM13 Ice Beam... Escape Rope… Max Ether…Potion… Doesn't look like it's in this cavern after all, meaning we never needed Waterfall in the first place. Or at least not before the League. Time to head outside, and explore the third entrance and see how far it goes.
  
• ...TM40 Defense Curl… Nugget… Machine Part… … … MACHINE PART?! What do you know, we found it!!! 8O Y immediately tries to call the Guide Gent to signal his success only to be reminded there is no reception inside a cave. We dig through our bag for the Escape Rope and Fly the heck out of Mortar!
  
• Calling him again, the old man seems quite pleased and tells us he had a curious encounter. A Fisherman came to his house crying that a loud man stole his Fishing Rod so he made him some tea to make him feel better. But goodness the thief couldn't have gone far, could he? We Fly to Cherrygrove to help in the search but eventually give up due to the hint being perhaps too obscure.
  
• We also realize we never found Markus and #RIPMarkus starts trending. XD
  
• After our long attempts at cave training, it seems it's high time we went back to try Brock again. The Voices have a brief talk among themselves about the fate of WWW as we've had him at the back of the line since he joined after nearly a day, and all our adventures, our Worm had only grown two levels. If Y planned to keep him, he NEEDS to be trained. Y seems to understand and moves the dragon up to the front in place of Swiss to begin switch grinding.
  
• We make our way back to Brock and the second attempt begins! It's Worm versus Tangekrow but not for long as we switch in for Feb! He comes right into a Slam attack, and tried to retaliate with a Cross-Chop only to miss! Tangekrow seems to laugh at our misery as it goes for a Stun Spore just when Y was considering moving to Fly. Payback is sweet though as it gets to go first and misses Slam but Feb comes at it with a successful Cross-Chop! It's super effective, it's down!
  
• Next out is Pideonaw! It's still faster than Feb and love him with a Hydro Pump before we go for Fly, dodging a Screech, and then getting the strike! Brock calls for Mirror Move though, allowing him to steal our Fly and dodge Feb's attempt at Strength! Fly hits, Feb is out! Next we bring out Tess, who also has Fly. You think we would learn our lesson the first time as Tess goes up, so does Pidgeonaw, and as it dodges our Fly we get struck by theirs. Hey… Next round, Tess goes for Fly and the opposing bird goes for Hydro Pump, taking the hit and going for Screech on the landing! A great maneuver on Brock's part as Tess thought to finish them off with a simple Peck and the Gym Leader throws in a Hyper Potion. Now with her defenses down, we go to Peck again only to have Mirror Move show his bird is stronger! Tess tries to even the field by lowering Pidgeonaw's defense with Rock Smash but gets put into red by a Hydro Pump. Barely hanging on, it's time to Fly, dodging another Hydro Pump and earning the K.O.!
  
• Out next is Rapidgon2, but Tess is still the faster of the two as she flies again to avoid a Tri Attack only to be knocked out on the landing with a crit. We send in IRS who managed to dodge a Zap Cannon and land a Rock Throw with ease! The fuzzy snake isn't so lucky the next time as Zap Cannon hits to take out half his health in one go, but we get some relief to know it won't happen again as Rock Throw takes the mechanical horse down!
  
• We finally get to see what Brock's final Pokemon was and it's… another Tangekrow! Jebaited It proves to be faster, using Growth to raise its Special Attack as IRS switches over to Strength. Slam misses as another Strength brings it down to red. Another Slam hits but it doesn't do much, we're paralyzed so it strikes again! This time Strength hits, it's down!
  
• But now it's time for Jolteckle, the fiend who beat us last time. Thunder strikes, taking out IRS before we even get to attack! (D8) with the little ones still in tow, our only real chance is with Bii. Counting on it's Rock-typing weakness, we go for Mega Drain; which while super effective, doesn't do nearly as much damage as we might have hoped. Thunder Wave misses as we Mega Drain again, but then T-Wave hits to paralyze our plant puff! Now faster than Bii, Jolteckle goes for the big guns with back to back Thunder strikes, Bii being fully paralyzed can't defend himself! He's down! We send in Swiss but another successful Thunder renders her useless! All hope seems lost as we send in Worm, Thunder misses, Poison Powder lands! Can we hold out? No! Thunder strikes again! Blackout!
  
• It feels we got really close but made a few bad plays so Y us determined he can win this. We head straight back and begin Round 3! Starting off its WWW versus Tangekrow, but we switch in for Feb! While we walked right into a Slam, the Togetape shakes it off as he goes for Fly! We avoid Stun Spore hoping to one-shot the tangled mess, but it just barely holds on and tries Stun Spore again; but Feb won't take it! We use Fly again to dodge a Slam and get a (pointless) crit to finish the job!
  
• Next out is Pidgeonaw! We worried that it was faster than Feb, but it turns out that was because our monkey-bird was paralyzed from the Tangekrow. Feb goes for Strength only to be countered by Mirror Move! Feb then switches to Fly, which again, you'd think we'd know better as Mirror Move allows Pidgeonaw to avoid our strike then come down hard with Fly to send Feb reeling! We send in Tess and take another chance on Fly, dodging one Hydro Pump, but coming down into another. Brock throws in the Hyper Potion, as expected, which gives us time to get in another Fly, strike, and take off again before he tries for another Hydro Pump! It's down in low red but drops a Screech on Tess before we knock it down with a Peck! Fail!
  
• Next up is Rapidgon2, so we switch in for IRS to tank a Tri Attack! We exchange blow for blow, Surf for Zap Cannon, until on the third strike Zap Cannon missed! But IRS is fully paralyzed! With both opponents only a hit away from falling, it's crucial who will land first. Zap Cannon missed- Surf hit!! It's good!
  
• The second Tangekrow comes out, and is faster due to the paralysis. A single Slam, though not effective, is just enough to take down our snake. Tess returns though to wipe that smug bird out with a single Fly! ... But it didn't. Still hanging on, the bush-bird tries to trip her up with Stun Spore but SURPRISE she has a Przcureberry to counter that! Another Fly to avoid Slam and it's down!
  
• Only one Pokemon left, the dreaded Jolteckle. Tess goes for Fly but is nearly struck down by Thunder still being able to hit! And Fly barely makes a dent in it to add salt to injury. Thunder strikes again and you can say goodbye to our Orb and Saviour. ;o; Once again, it's up to Bii to save the day as he comes rushing in with Mega Drain! Thunder hits! Mega Drain crits!! Jolteckle decides not to take any chances and goes for the Thunder Wave which works as Bii can't move! A single Mega Drain ought to finish it off when- IT HAS REST?!?! WutFace
  
• That actually changes everything and Y realizes that if he wants to win he needs to slow down and play it smart. While the Jolteckle is sleeping, we move to use Leech Seed, hit Cut, then end up fully paralyzed instead. Jebaited Jolteckle wakes up and immediately goes back to Thunder when our Leech Seed finally hits! The tables have turned in our favor as Thunder misses and Mega Drain hits, leaving the fuzzy turtle in low health. But it uses Rest again! >O
  
• Chat starts to debate if it would be better to keep using Mega Drain or use something less damaging to try to make it waste all of the Rest it has before we go in on the full offensive. RNG seems to decide it best Bii doesn't get to move at all due to paralysis twice. We eventually decide to continue with Mega Drain as the slight upside is we probably have more PP than he does for Rest due to our not attacking. Buuut he's not either while he sleeps so the debate continues. At least Leech Seed is doing something. We try Strength and wonder if it's within Mega Drain's range and try to switch back. It woke up! Thunder missed!! Leech Seed brings it into red as Mega Drain strikes! It's down!!! VICTORY! \o/
  
• Brock is impressed Y managed to get past his defenses and gives us the Cascade Badge! He admits that while he did enjoy battling with Mister Y, he is a little upset about losing. Still, the Cascade Badge should make Y even stronger as he moves forward.
  
• Well on the note of moving forward, with that done, Y still has some unfinished business. We Fly over to Cerulean and walk the rest of the way to the Power Plant so we can finally deliver the Machine Part. It's probably worse for wear as opposed to the piece they had stolen, but the owner is thankful nonetheless and gave us TM12 Sweet Scent! ….Thanks TriHard As we prepare to leave, the security guard comes over, saying he just got a call about a Shady Character in Cerulean. Maybe we should check it out. Slow...poke
  
• Time to head back to Johto and find a good place to train Worm, we stopped in Olivine Mart to sell nearly our entire bag (the Berserk Gene and Focus Band we went back for included) then flew to Goldenrod to buy Poke Balls because they're cheaper. Y decides to explore the basement of the store and realizes the door to the underground maze is still there. ...And it's still occupied. He follows the noise to find the Radio Tower Director still cowering behind some boxes as he pleaded with Y to save the tower! Who knows what Team Rocket plans to do with a signal that can reach nation-wide! But… if he's still here… then who gave us the Coin Case? WHO IS RUNNING THE TOWER?!? O_____O
  
• A single Voice leads Y to the PC while no one is interrupting and deposits Worm. Then goes up north to see that the Kenya side quest gives us a Chardabra! DansGame If they didn't want to grind before, this is worse as we now traded in our level 18 for a level 4. A PC struggle breaks out as Y shreds the mail that was supposed to be delivered, throws Kenya into the PC, and kicks out a Golemnitar for good measure before pulling out a Nineswine and storming out.
  
• And then goes all the way Y to Celadon just to play the slots. Dang this kid does not take well to PC shenanigans. XD
  
• We take a bit of a detour with the change of shift. As we only lack the Mind Badge, we ride down Cycling Road to see if Janine might have something to say, but back down only part-way through the Gym. Off to Viridian City then we battle the Gym Ledge and inside is…! Nothing? It's possible the place has been under construction, as there's no maze or puzzle or gimmick yet the walls are uneven by what the Voices call "Lego Blocks." Blue awaits us at the back of the building.
  
• The Leader explains he wasn't really in the mood for a battle back at Cinnabar, but seeing Y again has awakened his eagerness. … … … They stare each other down in determination before Blue notices something. Does Mister Y seriously have ALL OF THE BADGES? Heh, Johto must have not been much of a challenge then. Well come on, Johto Champ, he'll find out just how strong Y really is!
  
• Fight fight fight! Starting off it's Feb versus… a Nineswine! Guess we're not so different after all. XD Feb goes on the all offensive with Strength as the fluffy boar starts with Mist before going in on Fury Attack! That was pathetic, it's down!
  
• Out next is Rapidgon2! Not again… Feb switches over to Cross-Chop, but the steed is faster as it lands a Zap Cannon! We're fully paralyzed! Another cannon strikes and we're down! IRS comes in swinging with Slam as Blue falsely predicted our defenses against Fury Attack! Another Slam! Zap Cannon hits and paralyzes again! IRS pulls through to just keep swinging as Zap Cannon finally missed! Slam prevails, it's down!
  
• Blue sends in for a Gengchamp making our Slam somewhat useless. But it doesn't matter since he goes first with a successful Cross-Chop of his own. It's x4 super effective! Our snake is out cold! Tess comes in with her own super effective attack with a Peck! It's something of a good thing too since Gengchamp hits her with a Confuse Ray that would make Fly somewhat risky. She can't stop hurting herself though as she gets pounded by Cross-Chop! She's out! Time to send in Bii who goes for Mega Drain but quickly gets zapped by Confuse Ray! To shake it off, we sacrifice NNNNN the Nineswine to a Cross-Chop and thank him for his service. Swiss comes in, but it's no good as she gets one-shotted by the brute, leaving only Bii to take on all four left of Blue's team. This. Is. Bad. Bii goes for Leech Seed before getting smacked with Confuse Ray again. We switch over to Mega Drain as Gengchamp starts pounding him with Vital Throw but Leech Seed wins out to finish it off!
  
• Blue brings in the big guns as he sends in an Artikou! D8 The Voices start to panic over being faced with such a hideous bird monster we don't even get the chance to fight. A single Ice Beam and it's all over! Blackout!
  
• We debate on if there's anything to do besides Blue and check on the League again. Still no luck. Guess there's not, so time to do 20 laps around the gym before getting inside only to be CRUSHED. Due to the Ledge, it seems unlikely we can use Blue as a sparring partner to gain levels for the team.
  
• (Though I can't say enough how it kills me we still have several side quests we can do including Mt. Moon rival battle if I remember right and Diglett Tunnel we've completely ignored after being spoiled by having two Fly users.)
  
• Crushed again on Round 3, the Voices begin contemplating the PC again. After attempting to switch boxes, we end up stuck on Box 1, run outside, and start saving. Somehow this causes the boxes to switch?
  
• With everything in order, we march into the Pokemon Center, deposit NNNNN into the PC and JKILT HAS RETURNED!!! ;o; Oh it's been too long and Y proves he never wants to lose him again by immediately attaching some Surf Mail. The Quagynx has some catching up to do as we approach a full day of adventures he's missed out on, but the team is certain he's the key to defeating the dreaded griffin of Viridian.
  
• An NPC tells us that Blue doesn't have Trainers since he wants to be able to win without any underlings. While good in practice, that just makes him sound like even more of a terrible Gym Leader since the point of a gym is for people to generally go and learn from an expert. Not to mention, is he really a "leader" at that point if he has no followers? But whatever, it's time to grind as we prepare to beat his butt so we can finally be on our way!
  

We spend the rest of the day training with JKilt off the coast of Cinnabar since there's a surprising number of Fire-types in the water. How long may it be before we finally breach the gates of Victory Road? And just who awaits us atop the sacred Mount Silver? Hopefully we'll learn all that and more, next time!

Okay so I decided to create this guide with the hopes of it becoming a sticky thread for all newbies to the online slots world, to read as we deal with the same topics repeatedly and the same answers/advice are given repeatedly. Not that we do not want to help, but these would prevent you from getting into situations before its too late, or blaming casinos when you were in the wrong.
Signing up or Registration
Registration – Please carefully read the general terms and conditions about every "Right" the casino has and please note that you accepted these terms upon signing up, which means you are saying you are okay with it and agree with what the casino state about what they can and cannot do.

• No Deposit bonuses/Signup bonus – Many players are still NDB (No Deposit Bonus) hunters and register simply for these reasons. Please read the NDB/Signup Bonus terms carefully to make sure your country is eligible to receive the NDB/Signup bonus. We had many players getting upset about this factor and then end up closing their accounts immediately out of anger which leads to SE (Self Exclusion) at times. which I will address later in this thread. However, we do have instances where a casino does not list the eligible countries that can or cannot receive the NDB/Signup bonuses.
• More than one player in 1 house Hold – Many casinos only allow one player per house/IP address to register at a casino. You can ask a casino if you and your partnesibling who stays together can both signup and some casinos would give the "Ok". Just make sure you have this in written confirmation via email or something and not live chat.

Claiming Bonuses
Read the bonus terms carefully before claiming any bonuses and look for the following pointers when reading the bonuses rules:

• Wagering – Many casinos have increased their wagering on bonuses lately which makes bonus wagering very difficult to complete these days. Decide whether the wagering attach to the bonus is high or low for you since you know your game play and strategies. Many factors can influence whether you will be able to meet wagering, which is the x amount of wagering, game providers availability and deposit amount just to name a few. Also note that wagering for "certain countries" are higher than others. For me personally I think wagering between x35 – x50 on the "Bonus" amount "Only" is reasonable and fair.
• Max Bet – 99% of casinos have a max bet rule in place when claiming a bonus. Note what the max bet is for the specific casinos as it can range anything from 1 – 5 euro/$ per Spin. Deposit methods can affect the max bet as well as some casinos limit the max bet rule between 1 – 2 euro per spin for deposits using e-wallets, however that same casinos allow a max bet up to 5 euro per spin for credit card/Alternative deposits. Even though a casino state the max bet rule another tricky rule in the terms that we tend to miss is the coin value. Some casinos state that the max "Coin domination/value" should be $0.20 or $0.50 per spin which means if you want to bet higher you would need to adjust the "Level" portion in the slot if the coin domination/value limit is reached according to the terms. If you breach the Max bet rule and it is stated in their terms, you do not have a case, period. There are some casinos who you can explain your situation if it was a mistake and they do sometimes make exceptions.
• Deposit methods – Many casinos lately have restricted the claiming of bonuses using e-wallet deposit methods such as Neteller, Skrill etc. Note they mention these 2 as they are most popular, but that also means any other form of e-wallets are not eligible to claim bonuses. I have seen a lot of players complain that they did not receive the bonus simply because they did not read the terms before claiming the bonus and the deposit has already been made. Also make sure you deposit using your own card, do not use your parents or any other siblings credit card to make deposits as this would cause a problem during verification which in the end results in to winnings not being paid out.
• Deposit Methods Additional Info – Many deposits are available from Casinos or let's say most casinos have the same deposit methods available, however the country that you reside in has the influence on what deposit methods are available and the same counts for withdrawals. So, for instance if AskGamblers website state deposit by phone which is "Boku" is available at that specific casino it does not mean that it will be available for all players, as that is depending on your country. Deposit by phone is mostly available for the UK players basically as an example.
• Max Cash-Out – Many players claim bonuses and after they complete wager, they tend to withdraw immediately. Some players are left with substantial amounts only to find out they can only get x2 the bonus amount (Casinos like "Viks" casino and "Quasar Gaming" have this rule) or x10 their deposit. I understand this is frustrating and upsetting, but the problem is with the player itself. Stop blaming casinos because you could not do the simplest thing in the world which is just take 5 minutes to read the bonus terms.
• Restricted games – Please check which games are allowed and not allowed to be played with bonus funds. Some casinos have a feature where bonus money is not even visible on the restricted games, but other casinos bonus money will show on restricted games. In many instances these would not lead to confiscation of winnings, it just that it would not count towards wagering. They also have a term where they would say that bets place on all "Other" games other that "Slot machines" will be deemed in violation of the terms and condition and your bonus winnings will be voided – So watch out for this one.
• Double up feature – The only thing to say here is that this will not counts towards wagering.
• Cashable and Non-Cashable bonuses – This one is another tricky one, some people call it a "Sticky bonus". This just means where you receive the bonus you can use it to place bets and for wagering purposes, but the bonus amount can never be withdrawn. I find this term ridiculous and always avoid this type of bonuses.
• Bonus Abuse – This is a very complex/broad subject but mention the basic ones (Thanks for forum members tips which I included on this one), the rest you can do your own research about the rest associated with bonus abuse as we all have different opinions
• Bonus per player, per account, per IP address etc. If you take that same bonus twice or more times, using different accounts under your name, then it's an abuse.
• Claiming free spins offers – Deposit to get free spins and withdrawing deposit after claiming free spins but continue to play free spins is also some form of bonus abuse.
• Accumulating bonus rounds and start playing them when your bonus balance reach zero, and you win those money as real cash.
• Anything you can think of that disadvantages the house (Casino).
• Bonus wagering period – This never really is a problem, but just make sure you complete you bonus wagering with the set time frame the casino provided. This can range anything from 3 – 30 days otherwise winnings will be voided.

There are other bonus terms that I have not mentioned but I think the above ones are the most important as these could affect you in terms of confiscation of your winnings should you breach any of them.
Verification
This is pretty much standard for a casino to ask for some form of Identification, proof of address and proof of deposit when requesting a withdrawal. Depending on the amount win, some casinos might not need documents, however when a substantial amount has been won additional verification or security checks might be done which means a longer withdrawal time frame. Verification or KYC is necessary, however I feel when casinos ask for selfies with your ID next to you etc. in my opinion is just ridiculous. Also, I have noticed some casinos requesting your source of income to see where you get the money to make deposits etc. This seems standard and you would need to do it to get your withdrawal, however all of us have different opinions about this verification procedure.
Withdrawals
Many casinos have different withdrawal time frames and when you accept the general terms and conditions you have to a abide by them, by this I mean stop being impatient and complain that the casinos withdrawal time frames are the worst etc. As you knew this before you started playing provided you have read the terms and condition. You decided to deposit and play so then wait for your money, eventually it will come unless you breached some rule, or the casino is a rogue casino.
Here are some of the tips you should note when it comes to withdrawals at casinos:

• Verification – This is standard procedure and you have to do this if the casino request it.
• Time-frames – This one I feel can be interpreted in many ways but let me give you my version of how I View things. When a casino says e-wallets 0 – 1 or 0 – 24 hours. This means that the casinos use that time-frame to process your withdrawal and after it being processed your money should be instantly available. Credit cards that state 3 – 7 business days and this is where some newbies get this wrong – This simply state the time frame they take to process the payment to your card, it does not mean you will get your money within 3 – 7 days, however this is possible. Prepare yourself for the longest waiting period to avoid becoming impatient and upset – So if a casino says 3 – 7 days expect to get it in 10 days max, however you can get it within 4 days, but sometimes casinos just stretch it to process it on the last day possible with the hopes you would reverse the withdrawal and continue to play. This technique of casinos sometimes works. So, if they process your withdrawal it can take another 3 – 5 days to hit your account based on your location and the banks in your country as they have internal controls with foreign currency. There are however hiccups with payment providers/processors etc. but these are at times out of the casinos control. My best is advice is "Patience".
• Reversing Withdrawals – With the timeframes explanation I just gave above and being impatient, players tend to reverse their withdrawals. They continue playing and end up losing their winnings. Stop blaming casinos as this is your own fault that you Lost the funds. You made the decision to reverse the withdrawal. If you really need to play, make a deposit at another casino or sister website and play there while you patiently wait for you withdrawal. Some casinos have the lock feature, so lock down your withdrawal so you do not reverse the withdrawal or play at other casinos which has quicker withdrawal time frames of 0 – 1 hour instead of days. The key here is "Patience".

Self-Exclusion
Self-Exclusion is a big thing these days and most cases substantial amounts are involved that are being confiscated. There are at times very little that us forum members or even AskGamblers can do when a player self-excluded and played at a sister website or similar, as we know the result and of course the house is kind of right. However, I think it's bad that a casino only realizes the self-exclusion portion on a player profile once it reaches withdrawal stage, because I feel they should have something in place that can detect that you self-excluded upon registration or before you even make your first deposit. People with gambling problems tend to self-exclude but the alternative is to read this guide - https://www.askgamblers.com/forum/topic/2152-sos-i-am-addicted-to-gambling-what-to-do/ . My advice is to keep your casino account open and do not play there anymore, because even if you request a permanent account closure, some casinos tend to self-exclude you without you knowing it and this would cause problems in future since you opened another account at their sister website or something.
