Hello to everyone. I used to have a normal life. A permanent job, good earnings, a house and a happy family. I came across pokerstar almost 2 years ago. My bets started out very low. And as luck would have it, I actually won a large amount. That triggered me so much that I wanted more.
It has driven me so far that I have lost everything.
Private insolvency, wage garnishment, account seizure, foreclosure.
It's all just beginning, but it all feels very empty inside me. And my situation is truly hopeless.
I have lost and betrayed myself, but in all humility what I have done to my family is much more terrible. They have always helped me get back on my feet financially.
Now I'm leaving my only child a mountain of Debt that I can't get through bankruptcy. And that thought is terrible for me.
Today is 16.12.23. The account is empty, loss of control across the board.
Always on a kick, now I'm going for the Jackpot.
And I'm leaving my child €30,000, he's just starting out in life. I feel so ashamed, despondent, sad and helpless.

That is very sad but 30k is not the world now!

You can pay off this amount.

Others have lost far more.

What's important is solidarity, family, friends and therapy.

Cheer up - get up and learn from it.

All the best and love

Thank you for your answer.
Yes, everything seems hopeless at the moment.
I can and only want to convey that it can't just be fun to be out and about in the online casino. I never thought that something like this would trigger me to the point of losing control.
But it happened very quickly. It should be banned in general. My total loss amounts to €300,000. I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THAT I, as a single earner, was repeatedly given such funds by banks. I won't get the €30,000 through bankruptcy. That's my worry. And hating myself and why I got into this situation. Yes, I still can't understand everything, but I now understand that I actually need therapy, I thought I could do it myself. NEW YEAR NEW LUCK

Welcome to the boat, I've spent around €2 million in 16 years of gambling. It feels like shit...

The banks are not a reliable protection, there are credit protection requirements, but if you are well under the radar it helps, even if only a little bit, and gamblers are very good at behaving "normally" themselves


30.000 € and 300.000 € is a lot of money if not a lot of money to change your life but at the end of the day it's just money, paper! Your life your health your family these things are important and cannot be paid for with any amount of money

I myself also had a phase where I was really down €500,000 in a relatively short period of a few years, although I didn't make a minus in the form of loans, but I was even stupid enough to sell part of my parents' house within the family to give the money away - you won't make such a mistake a second time, I promise you

In the end I just want to point out that your situation is bad, no question, but there are people who have lost more money than you, even than all of us here in the forum combined, and they have also got back on a normal and healthy track in their lives you just have to know when it's time to fight and if you can do that the world will be open to you again

My question would be, when you say you played on Stars Poker or Slots? If your bets were low, what do you mean by that?
