I can remember exactly how it started for me.... In our small town, an old Löwenplay casino closed and reopened shortly afterwards in new, modernized premises. Our daily newspaper had 5euro vouchers for the modernized Löwenplay casino attached for advertising purposes and thus attracted many of my friends, but until then my interest was more in sports betting.
A friend wanted to redeem a voucher for the 5th time and gave me one. You went to the bar with it and got 5 euros in 1 euro coins cash in your hand and could gamble with it or just leave the store again if you wanted to .... Everything was free like any soft drinks, snacks and every half hour you were asked again if you wanted something free. Everything was great so far and I was like many new gamblers, I immediately won something and was also well catered for ...Theoretically you could sit there with a few euros in your pocket and let yourself be pampered all day long, the main thing was that you sat at a machine and gambled away cents ...I always made sure that I ate as much as possible so that you could talk yourself into making up the loss with snacks.
Since then there have been ups and downs, good wins, days later 3 times the amount gambled away again and so on .....I love to play for money and have done so since my childhood....dice, black Peter, higher or lower, fancy schnack schnuk and much more. At the moment I only play online and personally have almost only had payouts through no Deposit and other Bonuses, with regular deposits I could never make a good win and I actually won 15,000 euros through no deposit in a casino which unfortunately only paid out 500 euros in the end because I kept gambling through Verification and waiting almost 1 week ....although I was sad not to have got the full 15,000 flakes but still happy about 500 euros and that without having deposited a cent in this casino.

I also stumbled into it by chance. I remember topping up my bwin account with a 25 PSC. missed 2 sports bets at 5 each. Then decided to test BoD with the remaining 15 euros. It was 5 to 6 years ago, when the credit was not yet separated. Put on a euro bet and fire away...
Second or third spin, free spins, 400 euros. That was (unfortunately 😉) enough to make it palatable for me...
Of course, a few more euros ended up in the slots, naturally a few more than came out again 😂
But now I almost only bet on sports.
I've never been to a casino, no need.

It started in 2019 out of frustration. I tried it once back then, but wasn't that enthusiastic about it. I had to quit a few months later. I was really looking forward to the Christmas bonus and the money was already earmarked. Well, out of frustration I went to the Spielos and for me, a €10-20 win was already so much that I paid it out There was no big win. My first big win came with a €100 bet. combination of 4 - 1.7k won. I think Qatar played against the Saudis in some cup. Qatar with 1.20 -1.30 odds, Saudis with 4.5 odds. I bet on the Saudis because I thought their Tournament was strong. Well, in the end it was enough to win. Then I became considerable, ventured 300€ bets - once even 600€. End of the song: everything gone + something else paid on top.

Well, from 2021 I often played at Platin, then at Pino. I uploaded my biggest wins here, although I now play fewer slots and have switched more to blackjack. But this year I actually played less than in previous years. 2021-22 were really excessive, not in terms of bets, but in terms of the type of game.

I also had some pretty dark times in the meantime and was ashamed of myself.... I had an amount of 500euros to pay at my mom's and really wanted to do it that day and on the way to her I just thought to myself ...Hmmm, just under 20 euros in change in my pocket, try my luck......well, less than an hour later the change and said 500 euros were gone and I didn't know what had happened, ...as if in a trance I operated 2 machines and couldn't stop ...came out of the gambling shop, switched off my cell phone and went home, darkened everything and spent 1 week in the dark and full of self-hatred and pity for my human failure, wishing for my death.....a few friends and my mother were extremely worried, thought something else had happened to me, as it had never happened before that I was unreachable for 1 week ....then I came crawling up like a loose cannon and confessed everything to my mom .....she was just happy that I was alive and laughed at me, my son, my dear son, we are all only human and make mistakes....of course it wasn't right what happened but I understand and in the end it's just money and this feeling that was in you seems to have been strong enough to not do anything like that again in the future, at least not with money that doesn't belong to you and hopefully not in general

Fortunately, I was spared anything like that. I only gambled with my money and never ran up gambling debts. Maybe I ran up a bill now and then, but it's nothing earth-shattering. Today I'd have money to gamble like a madman, but I'll leave it at that because the money is too good for me. Maybe I'll try again sometime next year, but I don't want to relive the times when I overdid it. Like blowing 5k in one day. With the BJ, it happens really quickly. If I remember correctly, I was only €200 short of +-0 at the time. Balance was 4.5k or so. So I played a 500€ hand so that I could get out with a little +. What can I say... lost almost all the hands. Was able to play my way back up to 1.5k in the end, but then lost that too. How do you feel afterwards? Like a fool
