Daniel wrote on 16.06.2017 at 22:07: I think every addicted gambler or every gambler who at least notices problematic gambling behavior in himself or herself will eventually come to the point where he or she wants to stop gambling. Unfortunately, the fact is that you come into contact with gambling almost everywhere. When you want to stop gambling online, you often experience situations that trigger you. Of course, if you don't avoid these trigger situations, the chances of quitting are lower.

If you are serious about quitting online gambling, you should take the following precautions to increase your chances of recovery:


  • Create a new Youtube account: Those who frequently watch winning videos on Youtube are also recommended winning videos and may get triggered by them. Therefore, a new Youtube account must be created ...



Hello Daniel,

my son is about to turn 20..he is doing therapy against slot machines..and I thought he was on a good path..bus then recently 500.00 euro was missing from the household budget..when I then looked at his internet history, there was very often youtube video, Moneymaker84, where you can see the guy playing slot machines....
when i approached my son about it, he said that helps him against addiction...so, i find that statement illogical..and that's when i started googling, and came across your report....
So, he does support group every Monday, but watches these games all the time....

So basically I would not leave large amounts of cash, cards or anything else lying around

It goes without saying, if someone is addicted to gambling!

Yes, you're right...he has not played for 2 months and always went to therapy..I thought the is over the hill..and have halt my wallet not immediately hidden..my household budget, or my money for this month was inside..now, I have all the credit cards hidden, and cash I have now also none at home....

But I would be interested if watching these videos could really help someone?
I think it would be the same to say "I need to lose weight, go on a diet!" and watch all the time how to eat citizens in youtubevideo.

Besides, now we all know he has the problem, and we've made some sort of emergency call list where he can always call one of us if the addiction gets in his way again....

We can only speculate about that.
Basically, the vast majority of such YouTube videos do not consist of low-risk bets with unspectacular results, but of games and game results that stand out from a "normal" game round for some reason
In the vast majority of cases, no neutral or negative result is shown, but special wins. In this respect, I would not assume that this is a deterrent.
It is a subject area in which one cannot simply disregard the development over time. The comparison may be lame, but e.g. also former referees in professional football follow the further development around the topic when changing profession.

In any case, I hope that the problem with playing with him is not more noticeable through such videos. Hold these anyway for quite irresponsible and reprehensible. On me, individual winning videos even had a notable impact, viewed retrospectively. And by the way, I criticize the whole thing as a gambling addict who himself likes to make his highlights from the gaming practice known to a wide audience on occasion.

So to look at winning videos I consider quite very problematic... rather he should read through stories of people who have gambled away virtually everything and who are at the bottom... something like that helps me very well. There are good forums on the net. All the best for you!

Thank you all for the quick response..I agree that as long as he watches these videos he is at risk..but before I finish my opinion I wanted to see how people who know this Gambling addiction see it with these videos....
thought to myself, even if it sounds illogical, maybe he got the Tip at the support group..from your answers I have confirmation that this is not so....
He must write applications..I give him the laptop no longer in room (although there is currently huge noise at home), but it brings nothing if I go to therapy on Mondays, wait there 2 hours and he is at home then these videos pure pulls and his psyche is still only busy with machines...

Greetings and pleasant Sunday I wish you all

The only therapy that works is the "I'm on the street with no money and no place to live" therapy.
This has helped some people wonderfully. After that, you suddenly see a 10 euro bill with completely different eyes.
And it is the only thing that really opens your eyes when you have NOTHING left. Only then do you realize what you are doing to yourself with gambling, not before.

You can compare it with a child and the hot stove. You can say so often that the plate is hot. The child will only let go of it when he has burned his hand.

It may be hard for parents to let their children down like that, but everything else has the opposite effect. It is already enough 2 days where you have to sleep on the street, that shakes most awake.

Gambling addiction is a very difficult and delicate subject for me!
I have almost made a self-exclusion at all Online Casinos (permanently). Only a few I still leave open. (Slotsmillion, MagicRed, CasinoJEFE and Highroller). At each of these casinos I have a Deposit limit of maximum 50 euros per month! In the worst case I lose 200 euros... That also hurts, but I have the feeling if I also exclude these sites that something is missing in my life.
Financially I still manage quite OK - even if it is sometimes really difficult. I play again and again with the thoughts to exclude me at least three of these casinos, so that the temptation to deposit sinks even further!

Gambling houses, however, I never enter again and this for more than 1.5 years already...
