So I don't know grammar good enough to know what a clause is, and I grew up where people didn't always speak "standard" english in the first place, so grain of salt, but it sounds fine to me.
I'd say "where we know them from" but that only sounds a smidge more standard
i'm picturing more of an "facebook and discord are down forever? okay, i don'y need a router"
russia and china and iran all have different examples and degrees of separation from the rest of the internet. the UK is trying to backdoor encryption in a way which will force companies to choose to compromise or leave.
in the US, we have differing censorship laws fracturing the internet across different states, and the legal framework and precedent for banning apps.
we also have undersea cables being cut, which is very new i think (november and december 2024.
i'm imagining what might happen if we have a few "we bombed us-east-1" or "texas is doing ercot but for internet" incidents in the span of a year. but it's not something worth time worrying about yet i think
Yeah, that's another issue. I was looking at this as "their business model is to lose money to get people hooked, but if I don't get hooked, I'm just taking money from an evil business."
But that ~$200 loss is subsidized by the people who do get hooked. The fact that they offer $200 in bonus bets means they're expecting to extract at least $200 from every person who takes the bet to break even, which is a mind-boggling amount to spend to gamble.
At least at the site I'm looking at, this doesn't seem to be the case. But yeah, "bet $1000 get $200 in bets" doesn't make it worth it to me. Especially with a sublinear cost function (i.e. $1000 is worth more than half of $2000 for me).
Oh wow, I thought professional gamblers operated mostly in the place where skill and knowledge is useful, like poker or investing. I can't see one making a living on $200 promos.
The TOS, at least in my state, lacks an arbitration clause, which is a huge surprise.
