He was putting in thousands, about $5,000 USD. They were letting him withdraw a few hundred here and there. Then he won something like $10k that’s when they did a Know Your Customer check. Which he failed, obviously. They kept his principal and his winnings, lol.

Hopefully he took it as a lesson. Not much else he can do. They said on their terms of service Americans were explicitly forbidden. Not much recourse.

My nephew fell for this trick. He’s not a child, but he was gambling online on a European site as an American. He won big, tried to withdraw, they asked for a European passport. RIP his entire account.

There really is a golden era in the mid 80s where camera quality, production value, and effort created some masterpieces. Especially in France.

Those are kind of terrifying.

“Mother chode! I SAID DO NOT REDEEM!!!”

I mean it’s an * so it could be Good, Grand, Goad, Grind, Guard, or Greyhound.

I’m assuming they meant G?d though.

The animals are the pineapple.

What the fuck even is that test question?

You would think it was written yesterday too.

Don’t forget they have a support donation button hidden in settings!

I noticed on Lemmy I get bored and leave on my own. That never happened with the algorithm based sites. Then I’ll scan it the next day and move on. Thanks devs!

LMAO, that’s amazing. Great shit post.

It is a shit post… Lol.

I think it’s a short haired woman on his lap.

The original comment was making fun of this meme. They’re pointing out that many men believe the only successful women are the ones that sleep their way to the top.

This takes away from the rightfully earned success of all women.

Yep! They gave one guy a €100,000 ticket for speeding, lol.

Alright there might be a little bit of capitalism at play. Fines so low they encourage people to just pay them.

Too steep and people will either avoid the infraction or dodge paying altogether.

So this is literally a rich people get to be assholes fee.

Absolutely! 19 in 4 years is crazy. I’ve gotten 2 in 23 years, running a yellow light and not realizing the speed limit changes at night in Texas. Both of those fines were way more than $50. New York is dumb.

This guy pays about $200 a year to drive like an asshole.

Damn.

The G2 augmented reality glasses fit that. No camera or microphone.
