Short and sweet about me. I am/was/transsternchen addicted to gambling and am currently working hard to improve this condition. I started with setting a block or cool-off period until the end of March. I am locked since October 1st at 00:00 in my regular Online Casinos and will be unlocked on March 1st. So I do it similar to you, just a little more clever.

What did you do before you got locked out? Let me guess, you gambled away your entire salary / Hartz-4 / other transfer payments at the beginning of the month, right? At some point you thought: "I'm going to show some balls and lock myself every month after I've gambled everything away, for a period in which I can't gamble anyway".

What's the point?

Sorry, but I just have to ask you directly at this point: Are you stupid?

If you are stupid, then everything is ok and we become friends. But if you are not stupid, then I have to accuse you of fraudulent intentions. It's up to you how long you want to be locked and if you want to be locked for only one month, then that's your decision. No one has prevented you from banning yourself for a longer period of time or forever.

To me it looks like this: If you're not stupid, then you didn't even seriously intend to stop playing. And you have repeatedly blocked yourself for periods in which you can't play anyway, so that you have a money-back-joker in your pocket in case of a loss. If that's the case, then it's really good that you're at the psychologist and start working on yourself. Because such a deceitful mindset makes you unhappy and partly causes your Gambling addiction itself.

My Tip to you. Stay away from gambling, write off your losses and work on yourself. First blame yourself, then forgive yourself. Then keep working on yourself and do better in the future.

So you want to insinuate that I planned the whole thing 1.5 years and 10,000 euros less? Wow. It's clear.

As written above, I think times you have read it only half-heartedly, I am on the Trichter with the MGA license and the gambling addict behavior, only after inquiry in another forum came. So nothing with i.a malicious years-long forged plan.

Whether I am stupid because I have not completely blocked me, well, if you go to therapy and talk to the people there you will find that many, including some here in the forum, constantly convince themselves to make it and that you are not addicted....

I was surprised myself, after requesting the necessary data, how often I let myself block and that it was always the same reason.

Good luck on your journey out of addiction.

As a gambler you do stupid things and yes, then you are indeed stupid. But you can change that now in the future! But what I would ask myself is whether it makes sense to look into the past? Look back and see what YOU have screwed up with your own hands. Accept it, forgive yourself and look into a different future. Leave the past behind and start into a new, game-free future and be done with it.

What are you going to do now? Sue back the money you voluntarily lost and go into victimhood? Boy, you're about to fight an addiction: this isn't a touch-and-go ring game, and until you get out of the victim role, the road will be rocky and you won't be able to win the fight.

Just check it off, the money is gone and you've already gotten a little smarter for once. If YOU hadn't lost it in Online Casinos, YOU would have gambled it away in gambling houses and casinos. YOU messed up something in your past, YOU don't want to be a victim and only YOU have your future in your hands.

If I were you, I would put my focus 100% and 24/7 in the next few months on my therapy and my personal development and not on any junk casinos that were supposedly to blame for the misfortune of your past.

I will now deliberately only go into the initial post, because so many things are mixed up there and some really misleading things are also integrated.

Too bad that you can not highlight users here, because this topic is made like for @DanielGamble! He will certainly contradict me here in some, but it seems as if he has a deeper look into the subject.

First of all, forget all about UKGC, it's for us from 31/01/2020 as they (have to) get their own platform - everywhere! Means the technical options are, possibly, separate from each other.

To the SE: The mga is despite all theoretically existing regulations 0 interested in consequences for OCs, especially in this area! There you can also wave in the direction of Curaçao - the consequences for OCs are identical! The reason is simply due to the fact that the mga has to support itself financially.

THEN! Gambling is currently still forbidden by law in Germany, EVERYONE who breaks it does so at their own Risk! In some things Germany is really a Kackland!

Sue? Reclaim it? I was just pointing out the negligent behavior of MGA and the Lapalingo example here.

An addiction has nothing to do with stupidity, in my opinion, I just realized it too late and overestimated myself to deal with it.

The post was for information about breaking the self-imposed rules of MGA.

According to the gambling treaty, we Germans are, except for Schleswig Holstein, anyway in a legal gray area on the road....

You can call me names, but you still don't know me at all. There are alcohol-addicted people, who are like us also, in an intoxication. How probably the landlord of the pub stands there if he sells the already totally drunk alcoholic still beer and liquor? Only because he says that it still goes.... You still have a responsibility. And so I see it with OCs also....

7xSperren with Gambling addiction as a reason and then to do one would have known nothing.

I think rather YOU have no idea what is really gambling addiction. But the main thing with raised fingers to point at others...

I agree with you.

Then I also do not understand why this platform here, 1. exists or still 2. published a few months ago an article about the seriousness of MGA.

I am on a good way to get away from the crap. Therefore also to all the information about the OCs licensed by MGA to take distance.

If Germany as a constitutional state would have balls in the pants, we would long ago no longer be able to access the OCs with German IP.

Then you would just get a VPN and access the OCs via IP from Taka-Tuka country. And if the banks block the payment flows, then other payment providers will follow. And if everything is closed, then you just gamble offline. I've been reading here (with interruptions) for what feels like ages, but I don't understand the logic of many people here.

Sure. If you want to gamble, you can do it.

Only if the ways become more complicated, advertising on TV is banned. Then it just doesn't trigger you as much....

This TV advertising.... I don't watch TV anymore for that reason alone. It feels like every second player is an OC. It makes me want to puke.

Bruuuh that's nonsense!
First of all, Germany is shirking its responsibility and even worse: Money is wasted (for prosecution) for something like this instead of regulating it!
In a regulated market, the premise is completely different. But this comment of you incl. the first here, without looking beyond the edge of the plate, says enough!
