Well, in early 2015 I turned a few 100€ (started with 50 cents / spin) suddenly into over 20K - see here: https://www.gamblejoe.com/news/casino-gewinne-032015/ Fat winning streak. I spun 1-2x on 50€ and then featues came. Of course I got used to high stakes during this streak.

I said until that time that I want such a fat win only once and then I stop. The win was even so Big that I was online even 5,000€ suddenly in the plus. That was just too awesome. Well, from that point on the opposite happened. The money was gambled away 2 weeks later as if in a frenzy + my own money. I knew this behavior from players who contacted me by mail. But I thought, if I win once thick, I am not so stupid. You always have to experience everything yourself before you can judge, I have since learned ...

When I win, I increase my bets extremely fast. I usually start on 1-2€ but I hardly ever pay out anything. Of course, it is also part of the Gambling addiction that you eventually have to play higher and increase your stakes. A smoker also increases his consumption over the years. A herion junkie also needs more stuff to get high. And even with coffee, this effect can be seen. If you rarely drink coffee, one cup is enough and you are wide awake. But if you drink coffee every day (addiction), then you hardly feel any effect.

I then went to a gambling addiction counselor and they brought in a psychologist who told me very clearly that I will always be a gambling addict. Every free game you use is a relapse and shows that you are an addict. However, I was also told that if you want to stop, you have to have very clear structures in order to organize your everyday life without gambling again. It is hard discipline and because I always like to play in bad phases of my life I was told that a therapy for gambling addiction is useful but it should not only be about the addiction, but also about the psychological problems that you carry with you to find out why you play or started to play. From September I will visit a day clinic for several weeks, until then I will go regularly to addiction counseling. My husband pays my debts but financially we are on the verge of breaking up. The marriage is no longer what it was because not only the money is gone but also the trust. I want to stop and have given all my bank cards to my husband and he has access to my account so he can see if I spend money again. However, my account is empty and can no longer be overdrawn. I decided to do this to get my life back on track and save my marriage. However, I have been tempted to use a few free spins in the past few days, which, thank God, did not help me and I realized that I am and will always be an addict. But I never want to spend money on it again and even if it is still so tempting, the free spins must be and remain taboo. Of course, everyone must know how to deal with it, but let's not kid ourselves, who makes debts due to gambling and can not resist is addicted and must decide for themselves how it continues.
