Hello dear Zockegemeinde!

First of all, thanks for reading!

Yes! I am addicted to gambling... for about 7 years. In which I have gambled away about 4000-5000€

Today is the time for me to seek help. After 500€ last month and 750€ this month, I really need advice from people who have the same problem as me

It's always the same, I register in an OC, gamble away my dough and get locked. Clever to just try a new casino then. Is there maybe a way to get locked out of the OC altogether? Like in casinos

I appreciate any advice and words, I would also like to exchange with people who are going through the same as me.


I could give reasons why, why and why, and how it just destroys my life, but I don't want to annoy you with the usual chatter.

Would just love to hear how to get out of this vicious cycle...


Thanks!

You have lost just 5000€ in 7 years? Or is there a zero missing?
It won't be easy to just stop now and then. The thrill will probably be missing for the time being. Many video games are based on the activation of happiness hormones, maybe this would be a successful distraction to stay away from the casinos for a few weeks. I think at this point it would be much easier to say goodbye forever, but I'm certainly no expert. However, it is obvious that these games are more fun and cost significantly less money.

Ohman 5000 euros is nothing. Be glad I have 100000k verdaddelt. You have to change your environment, your attitude and most importantly, accept the losses. If you look reasonably good look for a girlfriend and hobbies that fill you and your life. Otherwise you will never change anything. If you do not believe me wait a few years then it is vll 50k loss. The spiral continues to turn.

There's really only ever the same advice here, but this is the best in my opinion.
Withdraw cold turkey! Block all Deposit options, or put them in trustworthy hands (family, etc.)
(family, etc.), in addition, set up a limit everywhere or have it blocked.
At least in the usual casinos. Takes time, but is worth it.

Look for substitute satisfaction. Whether sports or anything else, something to distract.

Don't look for excuses, don't set your own limit, STOP!

Thank you both for the answers. It's good to feel that you are not alone.

I will try every single Tip, but I already know how hard it will be.

Every withdrawal is hard! But there are always enough who have also made it!
So it is not an impossibility.

What is the alternative?
Not paying electricity, not paying rent - termination.
Even homelessness cannot be ruled out
Ask some here.
Actually, you have no choice anyway!

Always keep in mind - for motivation

Your losses are still within limits......

You're whining about 5000 euros? I'll give you a slap left and right. That is nothing. You can easily pay that off with a job.

Very helpful contribution MerkurZocker, honestly...
Thought after your conspiracy theories already that you really have one away. But this really tops it again.

For one 5.000€ are a lot, for the other little.
For others, 50,000 € is not worth talking about, for some even 50 € a lot of money.

@thread creator:
The Tip with the blocking of the Deposit options is certainly the most sensible for the time being.
This can also go as far as putting your access to online banking on hold until the worst phase of the urge is over.

I'm really a little shocked here. Are you serious that a €5,000 loss is "nothing"?

Some seem to have lost here powerfully the reference to the money. Terrible...
