  The post two above yours Simon, is interesting. Looks like a real account, but the post is bot like as it includes a link to a betting site.

  Precisely! The betting site link wasn't there when I first read it, though.

  cyrusthegreat:

  I saw that post a few days ago, and I'm pretty sure it just read "As someone who gambles online, I haven’t really faced such drastic shifts because the platforms I use tend to prioritize consistency." I think it was edited later to add the link!

  Yeah, I was wondering "That's weird, I don't remember seeing that betting site link." Good catch!

  ScottHope:

  As pointed out by SamSpayed a while back, editing in links seems to be typical of some bot posts. But paradise1503 is an eight year old account with game stats.

  Then, this means the bot operators have found ways to "hijack" genuine accounts, doesn't it? It can happen to my account, yours, ANYBODY'S practically! Now, this is concerning!

  It is concerning Simon. I wonder if a bot would improve my average!  8 )

  "=I’ve been there with online casino games, too, where newer versions brought flashy features like mini-games or unnecessary add-ons that felt gimmicky. It’s not the same as the original experience that pulled me in, and honestly, it’s frustrating when the focus shifts away from what made the game enjoyable.

   

  If you’re still into games with rewards for skill instead of just ""pay-to-win,"" you might explore things like these free spins casino codes in Australia. They can be a good way to test games without big investments upfront. For more details check https://casinobonusco.com/au/free-spins-casino-codes-australia/

  I get why long-time players of WGT feel frustrated when the game shifts toward a more "pay-to-win" model. It changes the experience, especially when traditional gameplay and community elements take a backseat to in-game purchases. I’ve seen the same happen with other games that started as skill-based and then shifted toward microtransactions.

  That’s why if you’re looking to make money online, social media offers so many better opportunities. There are plenty of ways to earn, from affiliate marketing to selling digital products, and you can check out this guide https://cashyeah.com/blog/how-to-make-money-on-social-media.

  It's always been a "pay-to-win" model. Like any other companies in a capitalist system, WGT prioritizes profit generation above all else. To a certain extent, this is only natural and to be expected. What d'you say, bot?
