Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Launches OmniVista Network Advisor, its AI-Based Network Operations Companion

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, a leading provider of networking, communications, and cloud solutions, today announces the release of a new AIOps service: OmniVista Network Advisor. The solution is built with ALE intelligence to provide new and existing customers with real-time network monitoring and alerts. OmniVista Network Advisor aims to simplify and accelerate the troubleshooting process, reducing network downtime and improving Quality of Experience. The technology provides proactive protection for network infrastructure, designed to significantly reduce the time from issue detection to resolution while simplifying the network administrator’s day-to-day operations. OmniVista Network Advisor gives administrators a choice on who is notified and what measures should be taken to resolve the issue. Leveraging the unique capabilities of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise’s Rainbow TM CPaaS platform, the application triggers a smart alerting system on an intuitive interface and proposes clear, immediate action as soon as a threat or an anomaly is detected. The new system aims to fix network issues with one tap, detecting unexpected system errors and allowing network administrators to apply the solution instantaneously from any smart device, anywhere. With OmniVista Network Advisor, issues are resolved much faster, substantially reducing the need for engineers to be on site. Through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) capabilities, OmniVista Network Advisor will gradually expand the capabilities to detect and anticipate issues/anomalies by reviewing historical data to understand network behaviour. This means that even intermittent problems can be caught, logged, and resolved much faster. The system also aims to detect unknown patterns, employing automated log collection to aid remediation of new problems without a lengthy troubleshoot. Michael See, CTO of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Network Business Division comments: “Enterprises increasingly rely on an Autonomous Network. OmniVista Network Advisor accelerates real-time reactions to anomalies, so that our customers can have peace of mind that their connectivity and mission critical operations will remain secure and uninterrupted. Typically, only 5% of issues reported to ALE Customer Support are new, so our experience and intelligence is built into the tool to immediately identify the root cause of any issues and provide solutions that can be implemented automatically.” Overall, ALE’s OmniVista Network Advisor aims to improve the efficiency of network administrators’ teams, reducing the time between a problem occurring, and the problem being solved. It will be available to all customers using ALE OmniSwitches or OmniAccess Stellar access points. The future evolution of OmniVista Network Advisor, associated with the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Rainbow TM CPaaS platform, facilitates the integration with third party systems. Examples of such integration include: automated creation of tickets in the company IT Service Management system, collaboration in real time with other specialists, or interfacing with other AI platforms. This powerful combination optimizes processes and enables faster resolution of threats or issues associated with the network.

Cyber Dive Launches Aqua One, the First Smartphone to Monitor Children’s Online Activity and Mental Health

Cyber Dive

Cyber Dive, the preeminent pioneer in making the digital world safer and healthier for millions of children through tech-forward innovations, announced its new Aqua One smartphone is available for purchase today. Aqua One is the first ever smartphone to eliminate all barriers that have prevented parents from accessing their children’s digital activity, empowering them to comprehensively monitor their children’s health and safety online. With cutting-edge monitoring software designed by an ex-military intelligence officer and a Mental Health Check, this custom-built Android also bridges the gap between the digital world and its all-too-often damaging effect on children’s mental health. “Aqua One is designed to help real families facing real dilemmas—from their children’s struggles with depression, eating disorders, body image issues, and attempts at self-harm to the very real dangers of sex trafficking, drugs, bullying, and explicit photos,” said Cyber Dive Co-Founder and CEO Jeff Gottfurcht. “We hear so many real life horror stories from parents that have real life consequences. Our goal is to arm them with the ultimate tool to help protect their children from a digital world that is proving to be more and more fraught with complexities and dangers we could never have imagined even a decade ago.” Cyber Dive Co-Founder and CTO Derek Jackson, who previously served as a Captain in the U.S. Army, where his intelligence work focused on the social media activity of U.S. adversaries and radical insurgents, built Aqua One to be a game changer for families. “That's why the Aqua One is so powerful,” he said. “Screen time and app/website blockers are a cop out, easy answers to bigger issues. Instead, the intention behind what you're doing, the actions you're taking, and who you're interacting with indicate what type of effect social media will have on your well-being. If we can use AI and parental involvement to help our kids create better habits and better self-awareness, they will be better equipped to handle the effects of social media.” The Aqua One phone allows children to explore safely online with their parents at their side. Every action taken on the child’s Aqua One device, including the watch history, text messages, search history, and social media activity is mirrored in a comprehensive web application on the parent’s iOS or Android phone, allowing them to see everything. With full internet access and no screen time restrictions, the Aqua One encourages involvement over limitation, reinforcing the importance of open communication at a time when so many children are quietly suffering from the negative impacts of social media—and making potentially irreversible decisions. Moving beyond monitoring, the Aqua One is also equipped with a revolutionary Mental Health Check, designed based on the insights of in-house clinical child psychologist Jackie Henretig PsyD. The Mental Health Check interrupts the child’s scroll three times per day with emotional-, environmental- and mood-based questions that are based on the child’s age and previous responses. These questions help assess the child’s overall safety, family communication, connectedness to others, and general mental state. Parents can then view all of the responses in their Parent Dashboard, providing them with unparalleled insights into their child’s mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. Cyber Dive’s Human Trafficking Advisor and Clinical Psychologist Angela Solomon, PsyD says it takes an average of 18 minutes after initial online contact for a predator to groom a child and request sexual content. By providing instantaneous access to all of a child’s online activity, including both positive and potentially negative interactions and experiences, parents can intervene as soon as they see anything inappropriate or potentially dangerous to their child. Available exclusively at http://www.cyberdive.co for $59/month, $0 down and no contract, parents can now sign up for a subscription that provides them with the Aqua One smartphone, Cyber Dive’s parental monitoring web application, and unlimited free phone replacements. Mint Mobile is the exclusive wireless service partner for Aqua One devices. “We are excited to be the exclusive wireless service provider for Aqua One,” said Aron North, CMO of Mint Mobile. “The team at Cyber Dive has created an innovative and cutting-edge solution, and we're excited to make it as affordable as possible with premium wireless starting at $15/month."

Cyber Dive is a progressive technology company that is the preeminent pioneer in making the digital world safer and healthier for millions of children through tech-forward innovations. The company created Aqua One, the first-ever smartphone for children that empowers parents to monitor all of their children’s online activities through a single, comprehensive dashboard. Technology changed children and now Aqua One is changing parenting by empowering parents to go places in their child’s digital world they never thought they’d go.

Million-Dollar Owner Mike Geygan Retires & Reflects on 31-plus Years in Business After Selling Minuteman Press Franchise in Lebanon, Ohio

Minuteman Press International Inc

Minuteman Press in Lebanon, Ohio, has been sold by retiring owners Mike and Karen Geygan to new owners Frank and Melissa Hiti. The longtime design, marketing, and printing center has been operating for over 40 years, and Mike and Karen are retiring after owning the business for over 31 years. All of the staff have been retained and will keep working to serve Minuteman Press clients in the community. Minuteman Press in Lebanon is located at 101 Dave Avenue, Suite E, Lebanon, OH 45036. New owner Frank Hiti says, “We are really excited to take over a business that has such an outstanding reputation in the community. As business buyers, we are blown away by the strong foundation that Mike and Karen Geygan built with Minuteman Press in Lebanon. This business is a well-oiled machine thanks to their hard work. Everyone has been so welcoming to us as new owners, and we will continue the path that Mike and Karen set by being a fixture in our community and make sure our business takes care of our customers.” Frank continues, “I am an engineer by trade, with a business degree. I spent my entire career in automotive manufacturing doing sales, engineering, project management, and procurement. I climbed the ladder but I always had that desire to be an entrepreneur. I felt I was in a good position to find the right opportunity and the right business to purchase. Everything I’ve experienced in the last few weeks since purchasing Minuteman Press has been even better than I expected. The support has been phenomenal from our local field rep Ryan, our team here in Lebanon is simply fantastic, and it’s so much easier to hit the ground running thanks to the strong customer relationships that Mike and Karen Geygan built. They earned their retirement and it’s been a win-win situation all-around.” History of the Business When Mike and Karen Geygan first purchased an existing Minuteman Press franchise in April of 1991, they took over a business that needed some work. Mike reflects, “We bought a 12-year-old shop and we needed to upgrade our equipment and clean things up, so that’s what we did. We liked the business model and the industry, and I really wanted to be involved in my community. Lebanon, Ohio is a rural town, and it just seemed like a unique place to own a business.” At the time, Mike worked in industrial sales and he liked that Minuteman Press wanted to him “to focus on running the business, not running a press.” He continues, “We looked at small businesses, other franchises, and another printing business. With printing, I liked that I would be selling to customers who could become repeat clients and order more from us. I also found the business hours and employee structure to be appealing, and with Minuteman Press, the royalty cap was a huge plus.” On that point, Mike shares, “Minuteman Press is a franchise that really cares about our success as franchisees. I feel that we get more help and support for the limited royalties we pay than other franchises who don’t have a cap. It’s not just about the dollars, it’s about the work they put in. They adapt and stay current, and the tech team is really cutting edge with everything they put into FLEX.” Another thing that really stands out to Mike after 31-plus years is the fact that he has always been able to run his business in a rural town like Lebanon in the way he wanted that best fit his community. “I always liked that Minuteman Press was hands-off in the sense that we could do what we needed for our business. We can do what works for us in our marketplace and go in the directions we want to go with our products and services as well as our pricing. They never asked me to charge $5.99 for a Big Mac because that’s what New York is charging.” Mike also credits his wife Karen Geygan for really solidifying the business from the financial side of things. “Karen worked on the financial side of the business and made sure everything was handled in that area. Her contributions over the years have been invaluable to our bottom line.” Growing to a Million-Dollar Business From 1991 to 1998, Mike, along with his wife Karen and his staff, were able to steadily build the business. They first joined the President’s Million-Dollar Circle in 1998 and they continued to hit that impressive milestone every year for the next 24 years (with the exception of 2020). Mike shares, “The biggest thing for us early on was growing through word of mouth referrals. At that time, I found that most printing companies in our area were not ‘good printers’ in the sense that their quality wasn’t great and they didn’t meet deadlines. We stepped in with printing that looked better and was always on time, and as a result we developed an extremely good reputation.” Mike continues, “We grew significantly based on those two key areas of quality and service. After 31 years, I can’t think of one customer that we lost because we dropped the ball. It’s all about communication. We talk to our customers, and we are honest with them. If we need to fix something or deliver on a tight deadline, we find a way to get it done.” He adds, “I have found that the shops that are the most successful operate with a sense of urgency. You have to be proactive. If a job needs to be delivered Friday, get it done early in case a machine goes down, paper or supplies don’t show up, or an employee is out unexpectedly. Don’t wait until Friday morning. The quicker you know something is wrong, the easier it is to find a solution. That is what’s always worked for us.” “We went from 100K in yearly sales when we first started to about $1.3 million per year. We got very comfortable and now it’s time to retire.” -Mike Geygan Today, Minuteman Press in Lebanon is a digital print shop with six full-time staff and two part-time staff. Mike shares, “We specialize in digital printing and do a good amount of mailings. We are in a rural town and so we do a lot of saturation mail for local school districts and other clients such as a large HVAC company and an addiction treatment facility. We also saw that during the pandemic, our community needed products such as large format printing, labels, posters, and signage.” Speaking of the pandemic, Mike says, “We were fortunate enough to be cushioned from serious impacts in 2020. In 2021, we found ourselves back at 2019 levels, and in 2022, we were up 20% over 2021 sales.” With new ownership coming in, Mike sees ripe opportunity for growth. “We have a nice foundation in place but I also see room for growth in wide format, apparel, and automation mailing. There are a lot of studies that show print is more effective than other forms of marketing. I think it’s important to mix in different ways of marketing and use print, internet, and social media channels.” Selling the Business When asked what it was like to work with Minuteman Press International to sell the business and secure his exit strategy, Mike shares, “I first had the thought of selling in March of 2022. I was turning 63 in July, I mentioned to my Regional VP Gary Nowak that we were starting to think about selling the business. My original intent was to retire by 65, and conventional wisdom told me that it would take some time to complete the sale. We were not intending to sell this year and weren’t ready to actually list the business for sale.” Mike continues, “Gary informed me in early July that he had potential buyers who he was already in contact with, and I figured there was no harm in meeting with them. As it turned out, the meeting with the buyers went well, and we ended up getting an offer fairly quickly. By September, the agreement was signed, and the sale was completed in November of 2022.” From his perspective, Frank Hiti says, “When we started looking to buy a business, I came across a business for sale ad from Minuteman Press. Gary Nowak reached out to me and as we were discussing a couple of different opportunities, we were introduced to Mike Geygan. We liked what we saw on our end with Minuteman Press in Lebanon and now during the transition, we are absolutely thrilled with how things are turning out. We bought the right business for us from great people in Mike and Karen Geygan.” “Our attitude was that if we get a good offer for the business, we would sell, and if we didn’t get an offer we were comfortable with, we wouldn’t sell. We really liked the buyers Frank and Melissa Hiti. We sold the business at a good time for us at a price we were comfortable with before we needed to sell, and while things were going well.” -Mike Geygan Mike shares the following three keys to selling a business: 1. Have clean financials. It’s important to be properly prepared for any questions and document requests, and to know your numbers. 2. Run a solid business and invest wisely. My dad was a financial planner, so in addition to running our business, we took care of ourselves on the personal investment side. That really adds up over the years, so be smart about how you invest and start early. 3. A business where the owner is doing everything is worth less to buyers. The company needs to be transferrable to new ownership. Delegate responsibilities to your team, and cross-train your employees. The more they know, the more valuable your business will be at the time of the sale. Final Reflections & Advice for Others As Mike and Karen transition to retirement, he reflects on what he’ll miss most. “Everybody says it’s the people that make the business, and that’s so true. We love our customers and our employees; they are like family to us. I also love being involved in the community and served on many local boards. Because we deal with such a broad variety of customers and organizations in the printing business, I was one of the people who knew everyone and so everyone would come to me. I simply loved being able to help and connect others.” He adds, “Our customers are happy for us, and I am very impressed with our local Minuteman Press field representative Ryan McIntyre who is helping with the transition, as well as the new owners Frank and Melissa Hiti. I know the business is being left in great hands.” Mike’s final piece of advice for others is this: “There are three functions that have to happen in order to be successful: 1. Find the business; 2. Get the jobs out on time; 3. Get customers to pay for your products and services. When you are small and just starting out, these functions may fall to the owner. However, if you want to grow, you need to delegate responsibilities and develop a company, not a monument to the owner. Remember, it’s a team effort.” Minuteman Press in Lebanon, Ohio, is located at 101 Dave Avenue, Suite E, Lebanon, OH 45036.

‘Woke’ Chairman/CEO Takes Visa Inc. Everywhere He Wants It to Be — Like China

National Legal & Policy Center

National Legal and Policy Center, a shareholder in Visa Inc., has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a report that outlines several missteps and ongoing “wokeness” on the part of Chairman and CEO Al Kelly, and will call for the board to implement a policy to separate the two powerful leadership roles at the company. NLPC’s proposal, found on page 90 of the company’s proxy statement, is the only one that will presented by a shareholder for the annual meeting, to be held on Jan. 24. NLPC’s report to the SEC seeks greater accountability for company leaders by asking fellow shareholders to vote for an “independent chair” policy, which if approved, would mean they support checks-and-balances under which the Chair of the board could not also be the CEO. NLPC’s report to the SEC also rebuts the board’s opposition to its proposal. As part of its case, NLPC calls into question several “missteps” — and even outright blunders and possible criminality — by Visa under the leadership of Chairman/CEO Kelly. From the report: There are several examples where we call into question Mr. Kelly’s leadership, with his powerful combined positions. Consider: He continued the Company’s quite-visible sponsorship of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, despite a diplomatic boycott by the U.S. “There is no way around it,” wrote U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. “By supporting the Winter Olympic Games, [sponsors, including Visa] are helping the [Communist Chinese Party] whitewash slavery and genocide.” He capitulated to the violent, anti-police, “Black Lives Matter” riots of 2020, decrying “social injustice and racial inequality,” implying that the thousands of employees who represent the Company are insufficiently respectful and sensitive to minorities. “These corporations in America…they’ll blow a gasket, you know, for these small issues in the United States,” said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. “But yet they’re willing to underwrite games of the country that’s committing genocide.” In his response to the fraudulent BLM movement, Mr. Kelly pledged to institute quotas at Visa for “under-represented” racial groups among executives and in overall hiring. “We want to achieve these goals for Black and African American people, and for Latinx people,” said Mr. Kelly, ignorant of the fact that the virtue-signaling term “Latinx” offends many Latin Americans and Hispanics. “Our initial emphasis will be on Black and African American talent,” he added. A federal judge in California ruled in a child pornography lawsuit against Visa, and against Pornhub’s parent company MindGeek, that “Visa knew that MindGeek’s websites were teeming with monetized child porn”; that there was a “criminal agreement to financially benefit from child porn that can be inferred from [Visa’s] decision to continue to recognize MindGeek as a merchant despite allegedly knowing that MindGeek monetized a substantial amount of child porn”; and that “the court can comfortably infer that Visa intended to help MindGeek monetize child porn” by “knowingly provid[ing] the tool used to complete the crime.” An influential activist investor said, “Visa’s conduct here is inexcusable, likely to cause the company incalculable financial and reputational damage,” and will “create serious… personal liability and potential criminal liability for the board.” He succumbed to pressure from progressive political leaders to adopt a specific purchase code for firearms merchants, making it easier for anti-Second Amendment rights advocates in political power to flag gun sales. “This new system is ripe for abuse and brings to mind similar policies of Big Tech companies and payment processors that have targeted law-abiding Americans for engaging in constitutionally protected activities. I urge you to immediately reverse course,” wrote U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, in a letter to Mr. Kelly and other major payment processing company CEOs. Two dozen state attorneys general also wrote to Mr. Kelly, warning that the new code may violate state consumer protection laws. Rather than hear shareholders’ legitimate concerns at annual meetings as they choose to address them, instead Mr. Kelly and his team avoid such discomfort, and hold “sham question and answer session(s) with planted softball questions.” Late last year Visa announced that Ryan McInerney would assume the role of CEO effective Feb. 1, while Kelly will retain the Chairman of the Board role. Companies regularly divide the roles on a temporary basis as part of a “transition” while shifting executives into new top roles, then within a few months to a year recombine the Chair and CEO roles. It remains to be seen what Visa will do, but nonetheless, adopting NLPC’s good-governance proposal would establish separation of the roles as company policy. “Al Kelly’s decision-making as both Chairman and CEO has brought great harm to Visa’s reputation and credibility, as the results have shown,” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project. “It is past time for the board to permanently implement policies that improve accountability for leadership, before these ongoing unchecked mistakes end up being catastrophic for the company – and its shareholders.” Read NLPC’s shareholder proposal for the Visa annual meeting here.

Yoshitsu Co. Offers Duty-Free Shopping Services As Japan Opens Its Doors To Tourists

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga In October, Japan lifted its COVID restrictions and opened the door to tourists, unrestricted, for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. Japan was one of the countries with the strictest travel precautions and restrictions. The number of foreigners that visited in October, both tourists and business travelers, rose to 498,000, which is more than double September’s amount of travelers. The Japanese government is eager to have the tourism industry boost the economy. In light of the return of tourism, Yoshitsu Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: TKLF), a Tokyo-based provider of health, wellness, beauty products, home goods, and food, announced some new domestic duty-free shopping opportunities. Cosmetic and beauty products are some of the most purchased duty-free products. Yoshitsu is hoping to take advantage of the desire for tourists to purchase Asian beauty products at duty-free locations. Since early November, Yoshitsu has provided pickup services at its Urawa and KoshigayaRyutsudanchi stores in Saitama, Japan. Additionally, the company is offering the same service in Nagano, Japan; Yoshitsu is the first company to offer this service in Nagano. To accomplish its pickup service, the company partnered with Digital Transformation Service Provider, iEnt Co., Inc. The partnership allows the company to enter the e-commerce market; foreigners can shop on the TaxFreeOnline.jp (TFO) platform and pick up their orders at one of the three designated locations in Japan. The company is planning to offer sweepstakes and promotions to bring awareness to new opportunities and meet the demands of tourists. Mr. Mei Kanayama, the Principal Executive Officer of Yoshitsu Co., Ltd, commented, “We are excited to see that the Japanese government opened its borders to foreign visitors, which should prompt the inbound tourism recovery in Japan. We strive to attract foreign visitors by providing TFO and pickup services at our stores, which offer them a convenient shopping experience during their stay in Japan. Looking forward, we will remain focused on providing unparalleled services and diversified selection of products at our stores. We are confident that our improved customer experience and promotion activities will attract foreign visitors and our strong capacity will meet the anticipated increased needs of foreign visitors.” Companies like Yoshitsu offering unique opportunities like duty-free shopping for tourists will be instrumental in driving tourist spending. The Japanese government is hopin g to reach an annual 60 million foreign visitors by 2030 and is aiming for an annual 5 trillion yen in tourist spending.

Typical markets you can bet on at these Dogecoin betting sites include: Win market Both teams to score Total goals Handicap / Asian Handicap markets Over/Under Corners Cards The beauty with these markets is that they are easy to understand and easy to find at pretty much all betting platforms which accept Dogecoin. What to Take into Consideration when Selecting Any of the Dogecoin Betting Sites The best Dogecoin betting websites we have looked at offer a far better range of sports and markets than standard online sportsbooks. This means you cannot only enjoy betting on top competitions in soccer but also wager on other popular options such as tennis, cricket, rugby, basketball and the NFL. In addition to this, there are literally thousands of markets with the best odds available for you to bet DOGE on at specialist crypto sportsbooks. It is though key to compare the various platforms in order to see who has the very best odds to take advantage of. Sports and Sporting Markets One thing which is essential for any DOGE bettor to do before signing up with a crypto sportsbook is check the variety of sports and markets on offer. This will give you full confidence that the site in question has everything you need and all the sports/markets you want to get involved with. Reasons why You Should Bet with Dogecoin With FIAT money losing value each year and looking old-fashioned next to innovative cryptocurrencies, it is no wonder bettors are starting to turn to options like Dogecoin now. This has seen crypto betting sites really take off lately and become the preferred option for many bettors for 2023. It is clear to see where this trend in sports betting is heading and that placing wagers at traditional FIAT-based sportsbooks is no longer the de facto choice. Do the Sites Have End-to-End Crypto Capabilities? Many bettors assume that they are using an end-to-end crypto sportsbook because it accepts Dogecoin. This is not always true and can be an expensive mistake to make. Some standard betting sites accept DOGE but with a large hitch. This is in the form of sizeable transaction fees and the fact your DOGE is converted into FIAT currency when it hits your sportsbook account. It is a much better idea to find proper end-to-end crypto betting websites. This is because these kinds of sportsbooks enable you to perform all transactions in digital currency. As well as being more convenient, it also means you can profit if the value of DOGE increases while your cash is in your sportsbook account. Bonuses Anyone who bets on games regularly online knows that various cool bonuses are on offer. But which type should you look out for? Welcome Bonus Pretty much all betting sites which accept Dogecoin come with a Welcome Bonus for new players. This often comes in the form of tempting matched deposit promotions, where the platform matches your first deposit. While this might sound awesome, the large wagering requirements many of these bonuses come with can make them less appealing, so make sure to check they are fair in the T&Cs before depositing. It is usually best to look at the VIP promotions and site offers. VIP Benefits As noted above, the top Dogecoin betting platforms offer VIP packages to their best customers. This is normally in the form of a points-based rewards system which gives you a point for every dollar wagered. These points build up over time and can lead to cashback rewards or other prizes. Are the Promotions Worth your Time? Rather than quantity, it is best to look at quality when deciding if a DOGE betting site has promotions which are worth your time. There is after all no point in spending time on numerous low-value bonus offers which are not worth the effort you put in! The good news is that the best Dogecoin betting platforms do run promotions which are worth your time and leave traditional sportsbooks in their wake. Customer Service It is never a good idea to ignore how crucial top-class customer service is when choosing a DOGE betting site. If you do and run into any issues with your account, you will be left with no one to help. On the other hand, well-trained and knowledgeable customer support can make sorting out any issues very easy. All of the sites we have looked at score well in this regard and offer great support to their customers. Payments It doesn’t matter how many promotions a DOGE betting site has or how many markets it offers, they are not worth risking if the reliability of payments is a problem. As well as transaction limits and payout speeds, it is also key to check out what other assets you could use as well as Dogecoin. How Much can you Withdraw at One Time? Standard betting platforms are well-known for implementing frustratingly low limits on payouts. This can be very annoying for regular bettors who may wish to withdraw more than this each week or month. Luckily, our top-rated Dogecoin betting websites come with high withdrawal limits and allow bettors to take out large sums. Some sites even offer no limits on what you can withdraw! Speed of Withdrawals Dogecoin is famed for its super-quick transaction speeds, and this makes it a great option for sports betting. This is because it enables you to get fast access to your cash and enjoy almost instant withdrawals. Crypto Variety Although you might be focused primarily on using DOGE to bet on matches, you may sometimes fancy using other popular coins too. As a result, it is always good to look at the variety of coins a crypto sports betting site accepts. The best for example will not only accept DOGE but well-known options like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Does your Country Allow Betting? While many countries around the world allow sports betting, there are some which don’t. If you live somewhere where it is illegal to bet on games from, then you should not try to get around this. The best DOGE sports betting sites are only open to users who live somewhere it is legal to gamble on sports and will only accept bettors who can place wagers legally. In addition, some countries allow sports betting, but not betting with crypto. It’s up to you to do your own research! What is the Reputation of Dogecoin Betting Sites? Although Dogecoin might not be as well-known a coin to bet with as Bitcoin or Ethereum, it is still a good choice for crypto bettors. This is because it is a cryptocurrency with a positive reputation in the industry and one that has been around for a while. In addition, the top Dogecoin betting sites for sports games also have a glowing reputation for fun, fairness and safety. What are the Benefits and Drawbacks of Using Dogecoin on Sports Betting Sites? As any crypto fan knows, there are lots of coins you could use to bet on games with. But what are the pros and cons of betting with Dogecoin in particular? Pros Large amount of Dogecoin users in the global betting community Easy to buy at most crypto exchanges Secure due to the Blockchain network it is based on Offers high-level anonymity and low transaction fees Cons Limited technical support for users No maximum cap on supply which could impact day to day value Prone to volatile changes in price Final Thoughts on Choosing the Best Dogecoin Betting Sites If you plan to bet on any upcoming sporting events, where you do it is super important. For people who like using Dogecoin to bet on matches, this means finding the top Dogecoin betting platforms is crucial. To make it a little easier, our guide above shows some of the very best to create an account with. Just remember that each site has its own rules and regulations, so you must also do your own research before signing up. Contact Details SuperLenny E admin@superlenny.com
