No. They are banking the interest.

R is better if you want some very specific, niche statistical packages.

Python is better if you want to combine statistics with any other compute process.

Racism justifies harassment and home invasion?

You realize internet sealions don’t actually invade homes?

You realise the harassment stops if you don’t respond?

Outside the US there is a no claims bonus /discount that lowers the rate if you drive without accident.

They’ll never lower the rate

This is only true if the insurance companies are colluding and are actively stopping anyone else entering the market.

If one companies rates are too high then customers will go elsewhere.

Yes. In big established companies they are managing managers.

In smaller companies, no

Blocking someone is the Lemmy equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting “la la la I can’t hear you”.

But if this civil discussion has led you to that point then maybe we should let the topic lie and get on with our lives.

You have defined legitimate casinos as only ones that don’t rig games or do scams. A priori you are correct.

There are enough illegitimate online casinos to create a problem for the whole industry.

Online casinos = scam

explain what economic incentive do legitimate casinos (licensed) to rig game

They don’t have enough users so they need to squeeze their regular punters harder.

Even your beloved “legitimate” casinos do “rig” games by offering different odds at different times to different people. They scam people by restricting the amount that can be withdrawn (and other ToS tricks). They create user interfaces to maximise player losses.

we are talking about your “taxonomy”

No. That’s what you are trying to forum slide to.

I’m sticking to the point that online casinos are scammy, including legitimate, regulated operators.

You might not be able to distinguish a legitimate casinos by a fake one,

Not just me. Any average Joe.

but if in your opinion legitimate ones also rig games, this is irrelevant.

Your doggedness for wanting agreement that some casino games may not be rigged is impressive

what users can tell is a completely separate problem.

But a problem very much related to “what’s wrong with online casinos”.

Online casinos rig games.

From the end user point of view, the subset of legitimate casinos (that, following your definition, don’t rig or scam) cannot be easily identified.

I didn’t define shit

Here is your definition (not mine) where you separate “legitimate businesses” from “scam organizations”

So when I talk about online casinos, I refer to the legitimate businesses that are gambling businesses, not scam organizations that happen to use gambling as their cover

I’m saying this line is not clear cut, particularly for the average Internet user. A yes/no answer is not possible.

I was mistakenly taking the top comment of this thread as your comment.

Easily done. Thanks for clarifying.

It’s YOUR definition

Nope. It’s you who is obsessed with separation of “legitimate casinos”.

YOU said, legitimate + fake = online. I asked to which you applied the answer and you said online.

Correct

Now you are saying it doesn’t?

Incorrect.

So, do we agree that legitimate casinos don’t rig games?

You have defined legitimate casinos as ones that don’t rig games.

Also, you mentioned taking a cut to help laundering money,

Incorrect. I said casinos are used to launder money.

now you are retracting saying “are exposed”.

No retraction necessary.

• do legitimate casinos rig games?

Online casinos rig games. You have defined legitimate casinos as ones that don’t rig games. A normal internet user cannot tell the difference.

• do legitimate casinos help laundering money?

Yes. Not necessarily knowingly. Income from internet gambling is tainted.

Your definition of “legitimate casino” excludes any casinos that rig games.

All businesses with financial operations are exposed to money laundering to some degree.

Regulations increase costs to implement. Only “legitimate casinos” fight them.

To which ones does your initial answer apply?

Online casinos.

I bet you wouldn’t be able to show me a fake casino if I asked.

The point is simple “industry” doesn’t contain the scammers who try to abuse it.

It does. To illustrate this I linked to a bank website containing advice on combating phishing.

Here’s the definition I’m happy with.

Legitimate casinos = established businesses in the casino industry

Fake casinos = scammers

Online casinos = legitimate casinos + fake casinos

Combined because users find it hard to tell the difference.
