Hello dear community,

thanks to a user of this community who reacted to one of my winning pictures and "warned" me about my win with the words - You have to save your win from yourself now ! Otherwise you'll gamble it all away again I managed to pull the ripcord at some point. It is partly completely out of control - higher than briefly for a few spins I have never played on 20,-€ 30,-€ 50,-€ or 100,-€ compartment. I managed to play up to a total win of 150,000€ within 2 days and 3 nights at Nomini-Casino.
The withdrawal limits for German players are 2.000€ / day and 100.000€ / month. To date I have 14,000€ of my win in the account and entrusted my login details to my parents until all the win is paid out. My plan now is to stop - we'll see.
Since the win, many thoughts have gone through my head - from continuing to play, to buying this and that, to I'm going to seek therapy and for now just live normally and pay my debts

Therapy is good, and lock in the casino also works

I still play from time to time but only 2 casinos and offline times in the cafe
Because I am in oasis and that is very good
Because it is a huge difference if you have only 2 machines or just 10 as in the spielo

So a lot like you have och never won

The biggest I had was 15k
I have but directly again verballert lol
But it's been a long time

If I would win 100k or so
Think I would also entrust someone from the family to protect myself

Because as a player it's very hard to never play again, but if you want to you can do it

So you are doing everything right
Have fun with your win👍✌

At 150 k, I would also "retire" for the time being. After a few days you really notice how much cash you have won and what the real value is.

You are absolutely right. The simplest thought was then actually - how much more should go NOCH?


Tonight I had a nightmare because there are still 130,000 on the bankroll that I fell asleep with the phone and in the morning everything was gone. Not that I currently feel the temptation - but a sign is that somewhere also.

With a Gambling addiction, though, it's really just a number, unfortunately. I don't see the real value yet - except that I'm paying off my debts and want to buy a car. Other uses are not planned yet. But I think building society savings or accounts that you only have access to on day X would make the most sense.

I didn't recreate the topic to show how big I won - more to ask for sharing from you guys what should I definitely not do - How did you handle it etc.? Etc.

Stay healthy my dears... Gambling is so dangerous. And especially when you win.... BRUTALLY dangerous.

Small example: 132,700€ win - 130,000 set as a limit - reality was: 100€ spins to 108,000 (since I had set me as a limit then suddenly 100k and end) And I'm sure. If no big hit had come in the games I would have run the Risk of gambling everything away again. I had shaky hands, so much hoped it comes a big win. Actually pathetic.

Take care - I still wish you the best of luck

Right on. First take a break from all the gambling until all the fat win is in your account. Then you pay your debts and make plans with the remaining money what you might need for everyday life and for the future.


Then a little time passes anyway and you lose some interest or the desire to gamble. At least that's how it was for me.

And best from now on always set any limits, even for the future if yet again zockst. Especially with such high wins, there are 10-20 k so quickly gambled away again. I've already written this in another thread, in this downswing at the moment, especially if you turn really high then, you lose any reference to the value of money. Since 50 € are like 1 cent and with one push just gone.... 50 € .... some have to get by for the whole week to live.

First of all, congratulations on your dream win!

The biggest mistake you can make is to keep playing in the casino - only when you have really gambled away every euro should you think about another spin, because depositing new money hurts more than just gambling away the balance.

Please trust anyone here on the forum who tells you that this will not go well.

I've lost sums like that myself - I know how much it hurts in hindsight, and the likelihood of that happening again, as you experienced, is vanishingly small.

I'm not an investment advisor, you hear that a lot, but if I were in your situation and didn't know where to put the money, I'd put it in a globally diversified high dividend ETF.
For example: https://www.justetf.com/en/etf-profile.html?isin=IE00B8GKDB10
But again, this is not investment advice, but this is how I would invest the money (and then take about a 4% distribution yield each year)
Currently, this type of investment doesn't beat inflation, but that goal is hard to achieve right now without too much risk.
If I had private debts, I would pay them off first and then repay all bank loans.

If you don't have your own home: use it as an investment to give you one. If you do have your own home, use your win and enjoy it. Continue to live normally, don't squander it and get locked for life, because continuing to gamble won't do you any good. It is VERY rare to make a win like this. The probability of making it again or topping it is close to 0. Sure, not impossible, but unlikely. 150.000€ is a nice sum, but it is not millions. The danger is that after a big win, you spend money easier and faster, because you have the opportunity to do so. But if you handle your win like this, then the win will be gone in a few weeks and you run the risk of having to gamble again, because: if you spend 20k, you want the 20k back, so you gamble again. That's what I see with me, for example, even if the amounts are much smaller. It's also one of the reasons why I'm taking a break right now. Had at the beginning of the month and it was 250€ (had to buy something). Have therefore wanted to double 250€ easily and zack lost. Then deposited 1k and luckily won. But that could have gone significantly wrong.

For real estate this is probably too little or depends on where it is located

Gold is always good as an investment

I personally who there also over demands
But I think I would get shares of Apple or so very safe shares, I'm not an expert but Apple should be a safe number and there certainly make more than if it lies in the bank

After 5 to 10 years have there surely ne good return on investment

For crypto investments, I can recommend Bison is from the Stuttgart stock exchange, which will probably soon offer shares
But shares and crypto is also a kind of gambling, you should invest only in things you know

Then there are still watches, art or precious stones
But if you have no expertise there, it's also all hard and safe is not all that

The safest is probably gold
That will never be worthless, the rest is just all speculative and has risks especially if you have no idea^^

Hey guys,

First of all, thanks for your congratulations and especially your feedback.
Eigenheim was planned to expand at least the upper floor of my parents (about 160m2) with a separate entrance etc - for this I would have taken a loan later for sure. My parents wanted to allow me to do this anyway and then I would have paid off my siblings since all married, have house and children already and do not want to go back there.
For this, a part - whether in 2-3 months or 1 year is definitely intended and then beautifully fix up. There is nothing big to renovate. The house is 20 years old and extremely large and solidly built.
My girlfriend does not want to move in with my parents but this project I will definitely represent. Property is today almost unaffordable and to finance currently yes also difficult or expensive. And if I rent this then only. A foreign object swallows 150k as a down payment for financing.... ^^ Since I also KfZ-Finanzierungen Vermittle I know what interest already at amounts of 30-60k€ accrue since mid 21 - that's brutal... 1.5 years ago my customers still financed cars at 1.74%. Today they are happy for anything under 6%.

Since I have also often bankrolls around 5-18k€ again gambled away, I have me - I can recommend the app Betablocker installed on the smartphone and PC. The blocks all sites that have to do with gambling for a certain period. Although you can uninstall you, but it is switched before uninstalling an alarm - quasi as a wake-up call.
I log in to OC daily only for the payout at 19:25 from another PC. I can recommend the app. Is not a guarantee - but even me you shakes awake and I'm more the type of player who likes to play with his bankroll, canceled withdrawals again to still get out what etc..

Greetings F2eak

I know that too well! Especially since you often create it from 250 times just to make 375 or so. Then you always want more. Come down to 250, hasn't cost anything yet. And poof - it was always gone. This vicious circle.
I will set up the lock tomorrow during work.... I would like to finally get away from gambling. Even if I would have liked to go to Baden-Baden with 5k or so But we all know, it remains there rather than that you come back from there with only one cent more.

Unfortunately, you can not set any betting limits in Nomini Casino. I would do that immediately! Or I would have done immediately!

With me it is even more violent, because I play Blackjack. I have never made 100€ per spin, but 1k per BJ hand and not only once or 2 times, but easily 10-20 times. The scary thing is I find myself wanting to play higher 2-5k. When you win, it's a cool feeling to have won 1k in such a short time. Even cooler is to play BJ with 2-5k and in such a casino (never done, because the nearest casino is 80km away from me). If you put such an amount at Risk, then you have forgotten for that time how much money it is. By the way, I'm not a high earner and I'm not rich that I can afford such stakes. I do have some money at my disposal, but I would never use it for gambling. It's just the addiction that grabs you and makes you make crazy bets, and I constantly ask myself why you do that. What do you hope for? You don't get rich from it and in the long run you lose. I gambled anyway, even though I was aware of it. I must also confess to you that the break is very exhausting. Sometimes I log into the casino and watch how others play. Already experienced everything. How some have cleared fat or how quickly some have lost 20-30k (mind you no streamers). I want to at least last the month completely. Actually, I want to stop completely, but since I'm still slightly in minus, I would like to win that back and then draw a line. But whether I'll risk that, I don't know. I hope I don't.

Therefore, stay strong, even if it's hard.

What did your parents say about your "coming out" (I had understood that they didn't know anything about your gambling...maybe I'm wrong) or about the amount of money that is now in the room? PS. Have your case even recently in conversation with my mother times touched...She thought that was pretty cool with the blocking of the casino sites via blocker or what you call it. Except just 10 minutes to take care of the finances

Hey Langhans,

Correct. You didn't know anything about my gambling, but what you did know is that I had gambled once before when I was 18 and in my youthful frenzy I withdrew 500€ from my mother's account and gambled it away within several weeks. That was forgiven and forgotten and I even attended a self-help group (20 sessions) and never thought about gambling again until I was 22-23 because I didn't want to disappoint them.

Better than expected, my father told me, this story was unknown to me now 27 years, that he had also won large sums at Poker in his younger years and kept betting his winners until he had won 120,000 D-MARK at the age of 21 at that time. A fortune - he put everything on the line until he had "only" 30,000 D-Marks left. Then he made a vow and explained to me how dangerous it is to win. I showed you all the screenshots and described my feelings. That I was ready to gamble down 30.000€ within 20 minutes. He said he felt exactly the same 40 years ago. And that I am now at a point where I vow never to gamble again. He wants me to talk to his psychologist who also knows his story. My father says that his grandfather was a gambler and that the affinity for gambling runs in the family and that we are prone to addiction. My brother has been addicted to alcohol and drugs for 18 years until today.

Of course, my parents were not thrilled, of course, advise me to invest the win decently and not to gamble under any circumstances. For me it was very difficult to confide in my parents because I did not want to disappoint them. With a win in the back it is of course easier, but I can advise everyone to entrust relatives / girlfriend, etc.. This alone reduces the Risk of gambling. Especially in my case - how would I look now if the money does not come? This thought makes it almost impossible to gamble.
