Online Casinos in general: Question for all addicted gamers (Page 2)

Ankor wrote on 11/25/2018 at 5:19 pm: You ask people who have problems with gaming for advice? I'll answer once anyway:

So there is no advice that just works, because in the end only you control yourself and no one else. Whether you Deposit or not has no consequences in that sense. People who have been gambling for years need at least some support (friend, family member, counseling - doesn't have to be an explicit counseling center - there are enough places where you can just talk). As soon as one can no longer keep to one's own words, one will not always keep to them in the future. At most, you can set mitigating limits and exclude yourself from time to time.

I have not even played 1 year and have stopped (since 08.11) or some time ago I had still accepted free spins without deposit (but was hardly anything, vllt. 5 minutes a day) and I have but also completely discarded because it is very seductive (ie I have excluded myself everywhere). Supporting I have a second account online unilaterally limited, I leave on the main account with which I have previously deposited only a fraction if I urgently order online what or want to pay. But it is clear that since I no longer use the free play promotions, I have significant withdrawal symptoms, I sleep worse, often have headaches and sweats when I remember to log on somewhere. Hopefully I'll get through this phase soon, then all this will have ended well for me.

Methaphors help to understand but should be chosen carefully.
Limited play nothing more than feeding a crying baby to make it shut up.

Counterquestion : What would you )or any other normal thinking person)do to quiet a crying baby ? Not feeding it would probably be a cruel "solution" - so comparing baby/playing addiction is probably a bit unfortunate.
I hope you understand what I am getting at

Please don't take it the wrong way: Then you didn't understand what I was getting at because :
By the way, how does a normal thinking person think? - A normal thinking person would be someone who feeds the baby.

But we certainly don't want to split hairs at this point - I just found the metaphor very bad - not your attitude to the subject.

I myself have made the experience that the advice "do not start playing" rarely works if he simultaneously makes positive experiences elsewhere, and be it only when he watches someone else play (or better win) - keyword: Twitch

The thread creator has asked for advice on how to deal with an impending dependency - that he considers a progressive dependency for himself is in my opinion already a step towards self-knowledge that is absolutely necessary to not run into the doom. A complete cessation of gaming activities would of course be the most sensible measure.

2) After reaching a self-imposed limit, first do something else - play a game, watch a movie, go out to eat with your wife/girlfriend - i.e. something that completely distracts you for a while.
3) After reaching a limit, think about how long you had to work for the amount.
4) Think about what you could have bought for that money - preferably something you've wanted to buy for a long time.
5) Go to the account overview and keep in mind how much you have already gambled away in the past, e.g. this year (of course, counter-calculate cashouts) - repeat punct. 3) and 4) with the sum

Works - at least for me - excellent.

I had also said to myself, oh come what may you just lost once. New round - new luck. But tomorrow - tomorrow I will win for sure. Unfortunately, the final result was negative. To top it all off, I also used my Visa card to withdraw money from the casino. My bank took this as an opportunity to block my credit cards.

Every addiction starts small. Oh come here try it out!. The fact is that you will lose in the long run. Of course you can win at roulette. I don't want to deny that, because I also won a lot. But the more you win, the more your greed increases. One makes higher stakes and plays with higher Risk --- and loses again everything.

If one would have 10000 euro on the player account and one would gamble then only with 1 cent per round, well that could work in fact. As soon as you have won 10 euros can be paid out and do not touch the 10000 euros.


Only just so no one plays! In addition, you should always say that an OC is not a bank. If the eg. block the player account or do not pay out the balance, then you look very old. The Malta to sue ? Good luck.


So again, let the gambling be. Do yourself a favor and don't play for money. I speak from painful experience.
