First of all, congratulations on the dream win. Now is the moment when you have to do everything possible to get away.
There is the danger of a powerful loss of control.
I know a person who used a 21k win as startup capital to start his own company and today runs a successful small security company in Berlin.
But I also know many people who after a similar hit after 2 years were in Debt to the point of no return.

Both directions I have in the family.

My cousin has once won just over 30k, made his master craftsman as a SHK and now has after almost 4 years 18 employees and the company is going bombs.
The ex-husband of my sister has won 25k and from his debts meanwhile by gambling, others buy themselves ne condominium 🙄

Congratulations to the creator here. Really watch out. The fast luck and the long suffering afterwards are unfortunately often very close together..

So my biggest win was once a little over 4000,- Euro, resulting from a win I got from 10 free spins. In the 10 free spins I achieved a win of 1.62 euros and then became over 4000, - euros, the dilemma in this story is, I had at the time only 2 or 3 euros real money on the account, so I could not venture the free spins given to me, I did not know that you have to venture the I do not know how many times, anyway, after the real money was gambled away, all the winnings were just more bonus money. I was happy as a snow king when I had the 4000, - there and was probably about to have a heart attack when I got at the payout attempt with, all just bonus money. I have then turned down with 5, - Euro spinners this completely worthless money. I have made some screenshots of this win to always remember why casinos give you bonuses.

Yes, congratulations on the win. this is a real opportunity. From my 10 years of experience I can tell you, after such a win, hands off from playing. You will only lose in that casino and I think they are so interconnected that you won't win anywhere right now.
How I got a handle on it... I never intended to quit. But I gave myself a little more self-love and didn't want to self-destruct anymore. I keep a strict budget, income and expenses. This as a ritual every day. With this, I have found the value of money again, at least on paper. And there is something left to play with. And I appreciate small wins again. With a high balance, I turn up at most to 5, -€ and that with limit. After a big win, I immediately look up and go out. When I come back, the rush is over and I can act with a clear head. It's hard to secure that much money. I would commit it, at least for a year and in that year think about how to invest it.

You are absolutely right about that. Thank you for your numerous comments and experiences. This is exactly what I was hoping for.


I would rather choose the path of your cousin, even if I would like to take a break now, take a break to get back on the ground.

But I can also understand your ex-brother-in-law. It's so red hot - what happens in a player's head and how perception and reference changes. Another comment here wrote of: 50,-€ per spin - in one second - that must be enough for others for a whole week. That's extremely true and absurd... especially since I had similar thoughts, but just completely blocked them out at that moment

I have not been active here for a long time, but I signed up again today out of boredom and discovered this thread. I can give you a few tips...

About 3 years ago I had endless stretches of luck in Dead or Alive 2 and other games. Just have to click on my uploaded pictures. Summa summarum I probably paid out about 200k € in total. Most of it I still own today. The demand to play should be lower, such a run will most likely not be repeated.

I was active in the stock market before and used the money to grow my stock portfolios and my crypto holdings at the time. Here I was able to take more wins at the height of the run. In the meantime, I play only rarely, but relatively high. The money I made at that time allowed me to dive deeper into the crypto business, to network, and now I actually only participate in private seed or institutional rounds to get into projects early.
Still, the last 18 months in and on the market have been brutal. But the slots have hardened me quite a bit.

So the money has already helped me a lot, you have to invest it right though and handle it. In the meantime, with a bit of luck, I see the goal of stopping working completely on the horizon!

Set up limits, pull out all that money for now, and then calmly and thoughtfully consider what you want to do. There's nothing wrong with putting in a few new bucks now and then and having fun, but remember: it's probably never coming back.

Good luck and congratulations, you have experienced what most people wish for. Use it! It opened my eyes.

Congratulations on the win
i can also only advise you first to settle all debts. Just the feeling to be Debt-free is already worth a lot. And then invest the sum well and thus prevent that you spend this for some nonsense or gambled away again.

I had the luck to win 30k 10 years ago. At that time it was not so bad with the banks. I was able to withdraw everything to my checking account. At that time I also had debts. Unfortunately, I was then as a young guy so flashed by the money that I just bought expensive stuff. And had partly gambled away again, because can happen again.
Had not settled my debts at the time. What had followed me then still some years negatively.

I hope that you have talked to your bank advisor before the payout. Describe the situation. Otherwise it can also quickly backfire. Money laundering termination etc.

Hey @Iknowyou

Thanks for your advice and comments. I'm sure this is exactly what would have happened to me two-three years ago.
Currently I'm planning to open a call money account (there are currently offers over 2.55%) and of course I want to take that. In addition, it is not so easy to withdraw the money (at least without losing a part of it again, which is why I think several times whether I really do this)

Or I definitely will. I was 3 years ago also once at a win of 21k€ from which I could have paid my debts, which I did not. I know the feeling - especially the pain due to the fact that from a large part is no equivalent there. Have you managed to stop?
Glad your situation is better now.

And then?

Well, I am not SO fit in this respect. But my bank has also allowed payments to gambling providers - in this case Curacao.
In general, a win from gambling is in my opinion not a big problem for the tax office.
I haven't heard from my bank yet - 28,000€ have already been paid out.

Why would it be a problem to withdraw your money from the daily allowance account?

You should then probably opt for a fixed-term Deposit account.

Should probably go for a time Deposit account then.

That's what I meant - thanks !

f2eak wrote on 03/23/2023 at 09:09: Hey Langhans,

Correct. You didn't know about my gambling, what you did know though was that I had gambled before when I was 18 and at the time in my youthful frenzy I withdrew 500€ from my mother your 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.

HeyHo, I just discovered your answer. Thanks for the again interesting contribution and I am good things that the story finds a happy end with you
