Who doesn't know the phenomenon known among gambling addicts (if it is one at all) - the madness. When you lose all control, have tunnel vision and feel like you're being remote-controlled...

With me it was so far 2x very extreme. Play actually always between 1-2€ per spin. Have the one time won pretty good, deposited 100€ and played up to 800€. For the one day be let and me the next thought "oh come, 50€ only. Once only get free spins, if nothing comes then that's just so". Sat at the time in the Ice and have there over WLAN then Neonstaxx Touch played on mobile. Said free spins have not come of course, after 500€ I have then increased the stake, to 3-4 euros, after a short time to 5€. The 800€ were gone within a short time... Then I deposited another 200 and set it to 8€. It actually came directly after the Deposit free spins, in which but on 8 € stake just 150 could be won.... In my madness I have then again increased to 15 €. No 2 minutes later, the coal was gone, account empty and still ne week until the beginning of the month... F**k

The other time I could also win quite well. Was ne very ausbiebiege session, 150€ deposited and could me with some high and low points at about 400€. For about 2 hours I played my favorite games - except for one, Aloha Touch. "Only get free spins once there, then f**k it". I didn't even want to play, I just wanted to get free spins once, so I was satisfied. 3 guesses what happened 🌚. 400€ gone, little by little 100e Eus deposited until 1000€ were gambled away on ever increasing stakes - then the account was empty or I couldn't deposit anymore. Luck in the misfortune, it was again towards the end of the month and I had only n few days with little money to bridge.

Such situations, in which it simply does not run at all, one has of course often and you know it surely also. But the situations were so crass with me, because I knew what would happen and I was simply powerless against myself. It was as if I was watching my body gamble away my money on autopilot.

Have you also had experiences like that, where you ended up being scared of yourself and it got completely out of control?

Well, that's called loss of control Who doesn't know it? I've also had days where I just wanted the free spins on a certain game and they just didn't come. Then when they came and paid badly, you get even more p**sed off and want to see "good" free spins or at least mediocre free spins. When the money runs out, you are then overcome with a strange feeling of weakness or despair (really disgusting) and you hope that you can at least save some back. This has happened to me more than once in the past

When I used to play in gambling houses on such days, I occupied all the free machines and sometimes it was really the case that the hoped-for freesins didn't come on any machine. Exactly the same in casinos and of course in online casinos.

I think this loss of control is a typical symptom of Gambling addiction and almost everyone has it. I have it, Matthias has it and many other players I know.

Of course, I have also gambled away, but never really high amounts, but I think it does not matter at all, it is just extremely annoying when you miss the time to stop.

It's often the case that you miss the moment. You want to play. Believe that is simply in human nature that you always want to have more than you have. Have you made 50 euros 100 you want to double. Have you done that with a lot of luck, you can of course not pay out and continue.

When is that time vivera?
In the middle of it it is probably hard for some to get a clear thought and afterwards you are always smarter.

there should be something for everyone to recognize and find for themselves ne strategy^^

  • I find several ausz. zwischendrin

  • and after a good run make a 2h break (box off)


facilitates the "clear thoughts" grasp but significantly

I can tell you exactly when that time is - you should set it yourself beforehand and stick to it leg-hard.Bankroll Management! Yes, I know it's always easy to talk smart. I remember a great advertising slogan for casinos: Let the rolls glow - your planlosikeit is our profit! ðŸ'¹ðŸ'¹ðŸ'¹

Hey, so I personally can only say that if you play long enough, the main problem is rather that you no longer have any relation to money.I have often played 5000 euros + in one day..This is sick and you have to realize but, to control yourself is actually for people of my caliber NO MORE.Daniel etc. are I think on the same LvL so that only goes completely or not at all! I let me e.g. always in all new Online Casinos directly lock because I know how I am in SPielbanklen I have eh already long lock... and the 500 euros I let times inside spielo I can cope .But otherwise if you are addicted you will always lose control x)

Strangely enough, I have only had such losses of control more often at StarGames. In other casinos I also often withdraw smaller amounts from 50 euros. I don't know why this is often a problem at StarGames.
