Some people can hear you, some unfortunately need to reach own bottom rock to finally open their eyes. Gambling is fun as long as you use common sense, but with addictions it is never that simple and easy to stop.
This is what addiction makes to you. It is very hard to stop with something that gives you the rush. Took me lots of money to loose before I grew strong enough to never consider gambling as a way to earn money.
@ThereSheComes To be honest it was never about making money, because I knew that could never be the case, I have been online gambling for 13 years now, I lost more than I won obviously but had my win moments that compensated for my loses from time to time as you expect, my problem started on Videoslots when I noticed a huge difference in my play starting Feb 2019 when they changed rules for UK players and lowered RTPs as well as stopping bonus buys, and auto spins, I was not aware of these changes, because they had published them hidden on there website, that came out later from another customer who published what they where doing online.
Anyway unaware I continued to plough money after money into the site, I mean thousands after thousands of pounds never getting any returns, it literally broke me, in a very short space of time, I carried on playing thinking one day I will surely hit something, I was hoping for a win just enough to purchase a computer that is all I wanted and needed to start my own business to get back on my feet, however it never happened I just couldn't get a break, being an idiot I just carried on thinking surely one day I will hit something, it never happened.
By the end of it even the wins I had from other sites just wasn't enough because the hole was just to big and any wins I had could not even cover any gambling loses or cover normal daily bills, all I wanted was to win enough to cover my bills for a few weeks and buy a computer lol, it never happened, I started looking into the company and quickly realised it was never going to be a possibility as the lowered RTPs and where literally offering different RTPs to different people, I mean how is that even legal? it had become 100 percent impossible to win, when questioned they where in full denial, even though I had evidence that they had published themselves what they had done, this started raising huge flags for me, when they started blatantly lying and using excuses, they even had all my bank statements of what was coming in and out, and could see I was spending more than I had coming in and they never questioned me once, I could deposit however much I wanted without question . It basically lead me into researching the company which lead me down huge a rabbit hole on the industry. How this company market themselves as a reputable casino and leaders in the market is beyond me, because this could not be further from the truth, because they are getting away with absolute murder. No wonder they keep getting fined millions.
