Oh ok. Yes, that's a great Player protection 🤦 actually the waitress in the game store should also have an eye on it I think

Eig yes, but many only ask 1-2 times and that's it. At least for me. But I'm also a quiet player. They may react more often if you press the buttons loudly and generally display aggressive gaming behavior.

They should, but do they?


A few months ago there was a thread somewhere in the forum with a video in which a reporter deliberately played a gambling addict to test how the staff in the arcades reacted. Some even offered him free sandwiches and coffee to keep playing. So somehow no one helped. Although he did a really great job of playing a desperate addict.

Sure, everyone is responsible for their money, but when something like that happens in your immediate circle of friends, it feels even different. Especially with someone I would never have thought. As the hacker has already revealed, the providers, whether online or on site, earn the most from the addicts who spend all their money. Then player protection is probably just a cover term for "the main thing is that we collect taxes from the addicts and we don't care about the rest".

I'm frustrated, but at least I've learned something again...

Are you referring to the Stern TV report? 40 hours in the arcade: Does the staff intervene? | Stern TV (2013)

It's 12 years old, so it's no longer up to date. You're no longer offered food and you have to pay to drink. How long has it been since you've been there? That was easily 8 years ago with the food and co. It wasn't like that in 2019.

A little has changed in terms of gambling prevention, but not much. Logs are kept, nothing more. Customers should be approached more often if they exhibit conspicuous behavior. I think that's really bad because there are different patterns of behavior. One person lets their anger out, the other keeps it inside. OASIS has also joined in.

The machines have also changed. You now have to press the book button. This is no longer done manually. The codes, the player cards etc.

I don't know how much your friend lost, but blaming it on the casinos (or the lack of player protection) isn't the solution either. I mean, it certainly wasn't a single session. People have gone there several times. There is the option of self-exclusion. Why didn't they use it?

Yes, that's exactly the report I meant. I didn't realize it was that old. It was shared here again a few months ago.

I don't have the exact numbers either, but probably 4 figures over several months. I didn't realize it myself. That he gambles in the Spielo from time to time yes, but I would have signed you that this was healthy gaming behavior. You don't notice everything.

Of course, everyone is responsible for their own activities. It's not my money. But it still shocks me that it's so easy. I also realize that I can't do anything about it, there will still be gambling and addicts who gamble away their money.

But that's what a community like this is for, to talk about such topics.

I see. A bit unfortunate. It's often a gradual process because you don't Deposit €500 all at once. When I'm there, it's always with a few hundred euros. It often happens that you lose track and no longer know how much you've put in. Especially if you're there for 3 hours or more.

It can happen quickly with healthy gaming behavior. I experienced it myself in February.

Your boyfriend may be able to lock himself up. 1-2 years so that he can get some distance. It's good for me personally to exaggerate sometimes.

Don't think the offer is that bad. Although 8k Wager and Taui Max Cashout, but Zwanni can be risked.

Get 1000% up to 200€ bonus

So you can only deposit a maximum of €20, no more. So 200€/8k is awesome and you only keep 1000€. Sure, you've only put in €20, but it's still too high. That's 40x

Besides, I would never deposit there, even with a 10,000% bonus.

They should change their payout policy first.
