Hello, I am 22 years old and have gambled away all my money and do not know what to do. It all started 2 years ago when I had a balance of 22.000€. I gambled away a large part of this money within a year. The only reasonable purchase was my car(purchase price 6000€), currently still has a value of about 4500€. After I had gambled away almost everything, I had a time in which I was about 3 months no longer play and it was finally once again a time in which I had no worries and could also treat myself. But unfortunately I went back to gambling because a colleague had asked me if we didn't want to go out together again. Now I was again completely in the addiction drinne and gambled away also my last money. Since I now had no more money, but I still continued to play, the first Debt collection letters came flying into the house. My father had to pay the bills for me. In the meantime I have about 3000€ debts with him. I promised him never to go gambling again, however I still do and since about 4 months it is as bad as never before. I get monthly 400€ pocket money and the money is mostly already gone on the 2nd of the month. This month it is even worse, because I have not only gambled away the 400€ but also another 200€ by direct debit. With the last 100€ I still had in my wallet I went to the gambling house today instead of filling up the tank and gambled that away as well. Actually I would have to work tomorrow, but now I don't have enough gas in the tank. In October, I also start studying and have to pay almost 500€ in semester fees until the end of this month.

Yes well, that sounds bad at first, but some others here don't have 3000 € debts but 30.000 or 300.000 € and more.
So this is certainly not an amount where you as a 22 year old have ruined your entire future.
I would recommend that if you can't stop, or if you can't control yourself, that you give all the money management to your parents or to someone you trust.
So that you sort of hand over your money and only get money from them when you need to go shopping, etc.
You probably can't control yourself - so talk to others about it and give your finances into trustworthy hands so that you don't have any money in your hands anymore.
Otherwise it will probably not work......

Hey,
so that is already violent. I play more online, because I have the feeling that my money is swallowed in the game store and I was also confirmed by many. Online you build up a certain status on some sites (through levels, etc.) and always get something small for free and can thus bridge the days easier without paying in. I'm 23 and still studying, but I don't have that big of a problem - I don't go into the red one cent. I can't afford that and I don't want to burden anyone with financial problems.
If you can't control yourself, then go ahead and try therapy and ask your parents for advice. It can be very hard, but if you really want to, you can stop for a while or limit it. For example, only take a certain amount of money with you if you really want to go to a gambling house (20-30 € and not much more). I also lost 260 €, but I was able to cope with it - because I have reserves that I don't use for gambling. Be aware that in the long run you are always the loser and even in the short run many fall back into the red - you can't make money easily there. To get rid of this illusion is hard for some, the money you put in degrees is gone? No problem, next time it will surely work, again not? I still have a few bills and the piggy bank...
You should never think like that and never try to get the loss back, first don't play at all and if you have to, always with a limit. If you can't stick to the limit, stop completely, you're in a tricky situation - but you can cope with it and get through it in a few months if you pull yourself together and get help. You can also ask in the Spielo if they can lock you out.
