ace779 wrote on 12/01/2018 at 00:14: Hello Qwertee,

i made my first post here to the forum about 5 months ago, with great response.
My topic was the dwindling wins, permanent verifications etc. I think everyone knows the game of OC's.

I am now 100% clean since that post, I am doing great. Professionally as well as personally. It was a life experience, which I apparently had to make . I can only suggest to everyone to take a look at what kind of money flows into the mouths of the OC. Pure madness.

And I was a High Roller in my time as a player, incredibly high wins at the beginning. After that it became gradually less and less.
Luckily I then pulled the rip cord 5 months ago and quit completely. And I took a small win, but I didn't really care that much. Even the high losses were indifferent to me at some point, when I think about it today...:-) I didn't even have to lock myself, just stopped from one day to the next. I concentrated fully on my work and my social environment again, and suddenly all thoughts of gambling were gone.

It works 100%, you just have to want to. It's like smoking (which I still do ), I'll manage that too.

Distract yourself, do sports, look for a new hobby which becomes an "addiction", then it will work out.
And reward yourself for your perseverance, no matter what, the main thing you reward yourself!

Oh, I almost forgot, you write at the end that you now want to avoid gamble joe, you do not need to, on the contrary, pull you like me at the beginning of the Youtube videos purely, I often watched the Roshtein and these guys from Sweden, found that on the one hand entertaining but also frightening, how bad the relation of win to stake was. Ultimately, I got so online confirmation that this is all a huge bullshit.

This whole gaming industry is the biggest rip-off the population experiences. But with addiction and happiness hormones, a lot of money has always been made.

I get my fun hormones in other ways

All the best to you!!!!

I can sign the post in many parts and wish qwertee much success, see also https://www.gamblejoe.com/forum/online-casinos/allgemeines/so-fur-mich-wars-das-nun-8751/
However, I am unsure whether it " goes 100%" "you just have to want..." If the social environment, etc. is good, it seems probably easier. However, it is probably not easy for many to "want" it. I myself have already pulled some ripcords, after months or a year then started again, so do not know if it really depends (only) on the will or what the will actually is. The desire to play ("psycho level") is, after all, directed at winning, feeling a kick, distracting oneself or whatever, so that one decides ("will") to pay in something and push buttons. In the end, however, ("Ratio") I know that I have to stop, not only because of the waste of money but because of the waste of time and because I believe that the permanent flood of images is not exactly beneficial for thinking, perhaps also for brain development in the short, medium and long term. However, this is perhaps an unscientific private theory, which I have heard similar somewhere by Manfred Spitzer. Has anyone ever tried to have a meaningful conversation or read a book after a long period of playing? Well, all the best and have a nice weekend!

Hello Community, now I wanted to thank you for the support and kind words on your part, which gave me to the exit again a great push! I would like to report to you today how it has happened to me and what has moved me. Maybe it helps one or the other to take the courage or he recognizes himself again and realizes that he is not alone. First to me, I am now 35 years young and play since I am 22. With me everything began like with most at that time with a win. I worked as a night shift (student job) at a travel restaurant on the highway, that always Saturday to Sunday. At night, a nice gentleman played for hours on the machines hanging there and constantly changed large bills with me. One could play at that time always only 20cent and had at the side the possibility its employment for special plays to set. Shortly before sunrise the gentleman pulled of his way... bent. I went to my work but the "devil" in me forced me then but also to "try" So I threw money got immediately 3 suns and won until the morning shift came 200 €. The Gambling addiction was born. Over the time I threw always again 1-10€ in pressed 20-40€ out and was mega happy. This went well for a while but you know it, you always want more! Slowly I noticed that I paid more attention to whether playground equipment hung in my environment and I was always willing to feed them with a few euros. After about 1 year then accompanied a friend with in the arcade. There were 12 machines Novoline without these limitations, so I became a regular player and visited the hall 2-3 times a week. I must also say that you often won something and you could have fun with 50 € a whole day. The spiral started it began the rule that you can win a maximum of 1000 € and I played more and more beyond my means, so I stopped first of all. About 4 years ago I was from work on a training and next to the hotel was a casino. In the evening I went there with other students and gambled a little. I played until night and won with 400€ stake just over 8000€.But instead of stopping I stayed one day longer and gambled away 15.000€, first real loss of control. From then on I could not get away from it, my first big win was my downfall with several subsequent losses of control. After I discovered online gambling and it was so easy to quickly load 500€ with my credit card, my financial ruin started. What I can confidently say is that since then arcades and casinos leave me totally cold. In the last 2 years it became totally excessive, it made me actually no more fun I zockte halt squeezed times fast in the course 200€ away and such mad stories. The value of money is completely gone with me, so I also then lost control. My absolute highlight was with "Football Star" on 25€ a 15.000€ hit in the Freegames. On the hunt for another such big hit I gambled away 40,000€ in 2 months. Then I finally realized that I had to stop playing. So I tried to set myself limits, only that is problematic, you play with your 50 € 1min you log on to a new casino to continue to play. I think by now I'm signed up at every goddamn casino in the world. In January I finally cleaned up my act, blocked every casino and set my monthly Deposit limit to 1€. Overdraft credit set to 1500. Cancelled all but 1 credit card and set the limit on the existing card to 1000€. I have now taken a loan to pay off all my debts financing etc in the amount of 40,000€. I am now paying it off monthly, slowly I am getting back on track and without help. At the beginning it was really hard, it really takes a long time until it finally clicked in my head. I have noticed I need a balance when the addiction overtakes me, when I have the urge I put on my sports clothes and power me out.I have really tried everything only that is what works for me! In the beginning I also went to livecasinos and watched the people playing Blackjack, where I really noticed how much you get ripped off. How often I call it "luck of the dealer" to conjure a 21 or 20 from a 5 or 6 is unbelievable or how often the Dealer has a 10 or ace to start. I had seen how a dealer has such a "mad luck" 5 games in a row a Blackjack fetches and once even with 7 cards. To the players such a thing happens very rarely to not at all. Everything is gambling, only the others get rich and permanent wins are really impossible. I don't even start with slots, you all know that too well. My dad used to say to me: "Boy, you don't play with money". I should have listened to him.... All the best to the rest of you!

Moin,


i join that, I am then also times away!

Have it about a year ago violently exaggerated and me so indebted, I was able to straighten some again and the Debt relief goes forward.
Some months I have not played, irgedwie was the pressure to play again there after some has done in the private environment, and I tried it again, there were some good wins then was as so usual nothing to get from the slots, new debts I have not made, I go out with a small plus, is probably because I have set me differently as before nen budget and have worked directly with limits in the casino.

For me, playing in the last few weeks no longer fun, you sit in front of the PC jumps from slot to slot and hopes for the big win, you have somehow put yourself under pressure, the disappointment when it has not rung was great, the attraction to get the money again.
There was a small win in the last week, the casino refuses to pay, however, because of Verification, this was however already through for several weeks, it just annoys me, be happy with the 350 € I hope you choke on it.


I would now like to get help for a gambling-free future.

Haut purely unf exaggerates it not, plays with responsibility!

Thanks to the GambleJoe team for this great site, I wish you continued success!

Daniel, I ask you to exclude me from the site, virtually like a self-exclusion in the casino, thank you!

I watch daa also no longer long with...

My problem is: I often win several K and then put the same shit in again. If I "can" leave that, it would all be a little cooler.

In the long run, of course, you're in the red anyway, so I'm currently "only" playing once a week and see if I can land another big win...if it doesn't work for a while, I'll gradually stop playing altogether. There are also better things you can do with your time.

Quitting is the best in the end! Thumbs up for the decision and good luck.

I haven't played at all for about 2 months.
It's funny how much money you suddenly have at your disposal. g*
I'll rather treat myself to something with the money.
Maybe I'll rent a Porsche for the weekend and really go for it.
Or a hooker with whom you have a lot of fun.

Throw the money in any vending machines ? I think the time goes slowly but surely past.

With me it is so, also because I often wanted to make ne break, I did not make it to 100%. Sometimes or rarely it tingles with me still but since about 3 months I play only 2-3 times a month, this month I played so far 1 time and I could at least make up for my stake and have paid out accordingly. I will now leave it for this month and also in the future I try to play very rarely.

The problem is the vicious circle, if one has gambled away quasi 100€ in 20 minutes (without simply getting nothing) one wants to have his money again and one pays accordingly again 1-2 times (is with me so). If it runs ultra badly, you have easily gambled away 200 € in 1 hour and you are annoyed

Therefore, the vicious circle must not even begin and you must not try it at all to make a Deposit!

@Tropper: I feel with you - so it was me also often. Have now also reduced significantly and directly after a BigWin I pay myself a large part to have it safe. 2 months ago I won 1000, gambled it away and then paid in another 800 to recoup the loss. Absolutely brainless bullshit...this is stuff to get depressed 🙈
