Hey everyone,

since many people here are dealing with this topic, I'll get in touch with you here.

I play for years already from time to time sports betting, there were never problems, every month times 30-40€ deposited, even with little win always paid out. So rather the fun player, since I also like to watch soccer.

This month I started with online slots, and am a bit worried about my gambling behavior and wanted to ask you if the worries are justified. I have deposited 15x 10€ in the last 2 weeks, so 150€ deposited and lost. And I'm really angry about it, especially because when I lost over 50€ I decided to stop and still kept on depositing. Also this thought "maybe I win now and make up for my loss". I have blocked me at 4 of the casinos as a conclusion and then still registered at a new casino that was well rated with the hope there I win now.

I know that for some 150€ is nothing and some have very high debts and have lost EVERYTHING, but for me personally that is VERY much for such casinos (especially as a student) and rather it is about the fact that I did not have myself under control this month...

and would like to hear your opinion Thanks!

I give you the advice better to stay with sports betting, with your deposits in the amount of 30-40 euros. 👍 It's better to keep your hands off slots and the like, because in the long run it only gets you into trouble.

I would also advise against slots if you gamble permanently, pure money destruction. Sports betting is probably better, but probably best not to Deposit anything. Or make 1-2 bills a week with a few € stake, then you can also still fever at TV broadcasts or the like and the losses are kept within limits.

I fully agree with the Rainmann/Refucs chorus. With a very small budget, you can get far more out of sports betting and, best of all, staggered bets and shimmy through the week(s) with one or the other win. Purely theoretically, the chance of winning is ultimately roughly the same, but 40 € are - if it goes badly - gone in the casino in an hour even with small stakes. 8 bets of 5 € each on sports bring you 16 hours of latent excitement

Listen - you obviously don't have yourself under control. You may get bored with all the gambling very quickly, or you may become addicted to gambling. Both alternatives are bad. So pull the plug as soon as you can.

Hello Alphafin,

The fact alone that you are already concerned about your gambling behavior should be reason enough to keep your hands off the slots. I think the question you are asking the community, whether the concerns are justified, should already be answered for you.

It is of course painful to lose 150 €, but it is better to cope with the loss and learn a lesson for the future than to lose even more money.

Thanks for your answers guys, which motivate me additionally with the slots completely stop. Abturn I also got, maybe better that I only lost and was not even close to a good win. Was already a nice feeling when 3 books came, although then they have only brought a maximum of 10€ anyway.

The loss of money is an important factor in the development of an addiction. If you have the feeling that you can't keep to your limits in Slot machines, it is advisable not to play these games of chance. When you drew that line and made a conscious decision not to, you effectively took back control. The fact that you observed yourself so well and made this decision is quite remarkable!


As a tendency one can say that problem gambling starts at about 1% of the monthly salary. For most people this is somewhere between 10-50€ per month. Whereby this is also only a rough guide and should in no case be considered as a single factor.

Many greetings

Thanks also to you for your answer, you have all helped me!
Therefore, a nice update: Since this post here thank God never again deposited in casinos! Even if now and then honestly quite briefly the consideration came to try it once again, but I remain faithful to me regarding slot machines
Sports betting continues with low amount and only if a nice bonus is offered.

Maybe you should also look for a betting Provider that does not offer slots

Because son impulse comes quickly, always remember.
Continue to stay strong 👍
