Corona and slipped into online gambling addiction

Hello all,
I got a little lost in online gambling during the Corona time. Lost sounds good, I have lost more than 7,000€ in the last 4 months.
I won just under 2,000 on Twin last month and cashed it out.
Since this payout I am totally obsessed and deposited more than 2.500€ in the last 2 weeks and everything is gone! Now I realize that there is no point.
I play a lot of Blackjack and bonus buys (Bonanza/Money train/Red Chilli) and realize after a certain point (When I am 200/300% up from the deposit) NOTHING works. As if someone flips a switch and you can only lose.
I stop with this. I realize slowly that it is extremely dangerous to lose/win so much money in such a short time.
Why is that with the human psyche? I've always been a bit of a gambling addict, but the arcades are so crappy that you spend €50 and then have no more bock.
I am very disappointed in myself... I wanted / needed to tell someone because it eats me. I can not talk to anyone about it.

Let me guess - you can't talk to anyone about it because it's frowned upon everywhere, unless it's someone who plays themselves and if no one in your immediate family plays themselves then there's just shaking of heads and incomprehension which makes it impossible to talk about it calmly.

I feel for you and can about relate. Winning is simply addictive. And if it worked once, then it will surely work again, right? It does. The question is only after how many thousands of Euros deposit. I hope you can keep due finger still. I can not

In my opinion you should deal with it openly. With honesty you can always achieve a lot. It doesn't help if you keep it bottled up inside. Pick your closest confidants and bring up the subject. They will understand and support you. For sure!

Online casinos have a huge advantage. If you go to "permanent self-lock" in your regular casinos, it's over forever. Yes you can switch to another site, but the game can be repeated at will. I find this feature extremely valuable

if you are a gambling addict I would avoid this site because there is so much temptation to gamble again....
this site is even indirectly financed by online gambling offers

look for a support group!

That's the beauty of Corona...you can blame everything on it.
Gambled it all away? Corona is to blame.
No friends ? Corona is to blame.
No social contacts? Corona is to blame .
No success in life ? Corona is to blame.

Herlich.
