Olá! Sejam bem-vindos quem vier por bem! Recentemente, li uma notícia que me deixou perplexa: uma mulher ganhou 61 mil euros num casino online, mas o prémio não foi imediatamente creditado na sua conta. No dia seguinte, esta mulher recebe um telefonema da própria plataforma online, a informá-la que o valor do prémio a pagar seria inferior ao que efectivamente tinha ganho. Foi, ainda, ameaçada caso não aceitasse. Já captei a vossa atenção com esta história?
Hello! Welcome to all who come in peace! I recently read a news story that left me perplexed: a woman won €61,000 at an online casino, but the prize was not immediately credited to her account. The next day, this woman received a call from the online platform itself, informing her that the prize amount to be paid would be less than what she had actually won. She was even threatened if she did not accept. Have I caught your attention with this story
This case is a warning about the dangers associated with online gambling, which, despite becoming increasingly popular, continues to be shrouded in suspicion regarding the protection of those who gamble! I don't know if you've noticed, but after 10 p.m. on national television, advertisements for online casinos dominate, with appealing messages and promises of easy prizes. I think it's becoming an ethical problem, because younger people are more exposed and vulnerable to these aggressive marketing campaigns!
I think it's not enough to just warn people to gamble responsibly. Effective regulation and digital literacy education are needed. We urgently need to rethink how online gambling is being promoted! This woman's story is an example of how this industry is not transparent. A simple pastime cannot profit from the vulnerability of others. Are you guys gamers?

Be careful. The game begins when you think you're in control. And often it's already too late! As the soundtrack for this post, I chose Sting's famous song, “Shape of My Heart.” It's not a romantic song, as the title might lead us to believe. The lyrics are about a card player who doesn't play for money, but to try to understand the hidden meaning of destiny and life! But beware of the hidden risks of the game; the traps are well set and legalized.
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance"
Bem-vindos meus caros amigos e leitores! Na próxima quinta-feira, 1º de Maio, celebra-se o Dia Internacional do Trabalhador. Mais do que uma data simbólica, este dia atravessa gerações: todos os direitos conquistados; horário de trabalho; descanso; protecção na doença e na maternidade; foram conquistas de muitas lutas e sacrifícios.
Welcome, my dear friends and readers! Next Thursday, May 1st, is International Workers' Day. More than just a symbolic date, this day spans generations: all the rights that have been won - working hours, rest, sickness and maternity protection - have been achieved through many struggles and sacrifices.
Porque, no final o progresso só é verdadeiro se for para todos e, não apenas para alguns!
Because, in the end, progress is only real if it's for everyone and not just for a few!
FELIZ DIA DO TRABALHADOR!
HAPPY LABOR DAY!
