- Becoming the President of the United States – 1 in 209,000,000

Some of the more surprising odds that have a good chance of occurring include:
- Dying on your birthday – 1 in 365
- Being born with extra fingers and toes – 1 in 500
- Becoming an astronaut – 1 in 1,525

Debi O’Neill, spokesperson for www.cardschat. com, commented:
“There are some definite surprises that have come about from our research; we’re shocked to find out you actually have a better chance of becoming an astronaut than becoming a movie star or even winning an Oscar. Who knew? It’s a shame that the odds are so low on coming across your doppelgänger in your lifetime, but when you consider there are 195 countries in the world and roughly 7.674 billion people on the planet, maybe we should just be happy to find ‘the one’ at some point in our lives over meeting someone who looks just like us.”

Atlaslive Marks Responsible Gambling Day and Reaffirms Long-Term Commitment
On February 17, Atlaslive joined the global iGaming community in recognizing Responsible Gambling Day—a moment to reflect not only on industry growth but on how that growth is managed. Sustainable expansion is not driven by scale alone; it relies on responsibility, transparency, and player empowerment.
This year, regulators, operators, and advocacy organizations across Latin America and Europe emphasized the same principle: effective player protection depends on prevention, education, practical safeguards, and transparent processes.
As regulatory frameworks mature, licensing requirements increasingly embed stronger transparency and player protection standards. This reflects a shared understanding that regulated gambling can only succeed when operators, platform providers, and regulators align around harm prevention.
At Atlaslive, responsible play is embedded within the platform architecture. Configurable player limits and self-exclusion checks connected to market-standard exclusion systems ensure users retain control over their participation. The objective remains consistent: gaming should remain entertainment, not a loss of control.
Responsible gambling features at Atlaslive include:
-
GDPR-compliant data handling, ensuring strict privacy standards across regulated markets.
-
Built-in player controls, allowing users to set deposit limits, session time limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion preferences.
-
Automated self-exclusion verification, including regulatory API integrations to prevent re-registration during active exclusions.
-
Real-time behavioral monitoring tools, enabling operators to identify and address potentially problematic gaming patterns.
-
System-level enforcement of player decisions, ensuring activated restrictions cannot be overridden manually.
These safeguards operate automatically and consistently, reducing ambiguity and supporting transparent enforcement of regulatory standards.
As expectations rise across markets, responsibility becomes measurable through system design, automated controls, and clear accountability, contributing to a more stable and sustainable gaming environment.
Anastasiia Poltavets, CMO at Atlaslive, said:
“Responsible Gambling Day isn’t about a one-day marketing message. It’s about a year-long commitment — one that operators, regulators, and technology providers share. When the industry embraces responsible play not as a burden but as a foundation, we move closer to a future where gaming remains a source of entertainment, not a cause of harm.”
