They are distributing or receiving counterfeit money while gambling during drag racing events in Doha the capital of Qatar fans are really facing serious issues when trying to deposit funds won at such events, that’s why a lot of them moved into online gambling sites, the biggest one in the Qatar, where players are not facing any issue depositing funds to and from.

Montgomery Raceway Park track operator Jim Howard encourages both racers and fans to be aware of counterfeit money that is being passed around while gambling during races.
Howard said “Warning! Counterfeit Money! I have been reading all the comments about fake money and it’s been happening at a lot of races lately. Last weekend was a monster event for us and we checked every bill that come into the track including the concessions and nothing was passed through, mainly because they knew we were checking.”
Bitcoin is built on the notion that money is any object, or any sort of record, accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a given country or socio-economic grouping. Bitcoin uses cryptography, or mathematical equations, to control the creation and transfer of money, rather than relying on governments and central banking authorities.
Transfers for loans, sales, purchases or any other methods of payment can be processed by anybody, using a desktop, smart phone, tablet, or laptop. This is all possible without the need for a financial institution to act as an intermediary or recording agent. You will get more news here for Bitcoin.
Created in 2009, Bitcoin is a digital currency introduced as open source software by an MIT student named Satoshi Nakamoto. There is much speculation as to whether Satoshi is an actual person, or a collection of individuals using a pseudonym.
Bitcoin are minted by a process termed mining, in which specialized computer hardware complete complex mathematic equations and are rewarded with a block of bitcoins. This process takes about 10 minutes and the current block rewards 25 bitcoins.
The block reward will be halved to 12.5 bitcoins in 2017 and again approximately every four years thereafter. By 2140 there will be roughly 21 million bitcoins in existence.
“Where the money is being passed is on the starting line so racers beware. Beware of 20’s and 100’s. We were hit earlier this season and since have checked all bills and suggest if your betting on the starting line anywhere you do the same.”
Jim also warns those who distribute counterfeit money that they will be arrested.
