Bad luck and/or bad money management is not the casino's fault. If you lost a couple hands of blackjack at your local B&M and then cried foul to your senator, asking that all B&M casinos be shut down because you didn't win every hand, you would probably get the same response you're getting from us now. If you can't handle gambling then simply don't do it.

I dont understand why there are so many people on this site that are happy to loose money, and book it down to entertainment "you allways lose at gambling", "its not the casinos fault"
The fact is that at the moment this is a very grubby unregulated industry, hosted buy countries that are obviously on the side of the casino due to the huge licence fees they pay, so to call for it to be banned until this is sorted out is a fair call i think, wait to you have a problem with these casinos, there is very little recoarse avaliable when they decide to make rules up as they go along.
Blackjack is a game that with some self control you do not have to loose at, I have proven that online not that i got my winnings though.
I play because i like blackjack i dont live near a casino but a b&m casino is a far better bet than online underfunded unregulated junk that is out there.

this has nothing to do with regulating the industry. it has to do with personal responsibility. realistically, no friggin way to regulate online gambling. no way to even come close. ban it until they sort it out? years and years would go buy and no way gamblers are gonna wait that long. if people know its shady then dont play. cant get more simpler. no one is putting a gun to anyones head to place a bet. yes it sucks to maybe be playing in a rigged game, no doubt, but thats the nature of the beast. i spend plenty of money every month playing. enjoying it either way. made plenty of money at my job. no illusions of making any signifigant money gambling. dont care. ya gotta laugh when the ace comes up 4 times in a row on a double down. what did you expect? its how they make their money.

see 1918 thats what i mean by people happy to play for entertainments sake win or lose & accept what the casinos deal out is ok, if you won $150,000
dollars and casino says you using basic strat and a progressive bet is illegal and wont pay- not mentioned in there t&c not illegal anywhere else,

The country that regulates them wont show you there laws or return phone calls so you hire lawers to persue it for you , I think if that happened it might take the entertainment out of gambling

That's impressive ... two different people slamming the owner of this site (and its mods) with nothing but their own opinions about things.

You know, I'm gonna add something to the whole "if you can't handle losing, don't gamble" thing ... "if you don't like the site, DON'T COME HERE!"

Yeah, the first poster quoted may not have been trying to offend, but you did. I'm just tired of people questioning the integrity of people they don't even know.

lucky21 I'm going to assume (I try not to do this) that you've got a non payment issue regarding an online casino.

If this is the case I suggest putting in a PAB here:

If you have a legit claim then CasinoMeister will assist.

Gambling should be entertainment, winning is good, but it's fun to gamble. Seriously learn some bankroll management, would you spend 2000 that easily on something else? Many players here hopefully, have set aside some dough to gamble with each month and stick to it. Many people here want to make money as much as the next guy. Hell, KasinoKing talks of his consistent winnings which are definitely possible with lots of control. Maybe you can play like him and win consistently, but if it's not enough of a high for you, then gambling maybe isn't your thing. I hear skydiving gives great highs. I don't think it costs 2000.

Spot on! I gamble online virtually every day. At the end of the month if I have lost $100 at 5 casinos, and won $101 at another 5 - I'm $5 up!
I've had a whole month of entertainment (which is all gambling is) and not made a loss.
That is my 'high'!

Look I am not out to bash any one our any group.

I said the games are set to make people chase and wait for the big hit.

The games are desinged that way, some people fall prey to this.

Yes, you are all correct in saying a game is just a game ....and gamble within yor means.

But...

They are taking advantage of people in a simaler way to Alcohol and Cigarettes.

Should their be a buyer beware befor you play, maybe there is.

In
fairness to Goverment...yes laugh..HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

One thing I noticed that people have not mentiond.
(or maybe so I may have missed it)

How can they afford to pay for the people that need help for their addiction, when the money is not taxed before it leaves the province/ state.

IE ....Cigarettes and alcohol.

At least when people gamble locally the goverment receives a percentage much like a rake to cover the cost of treatment plans in Canada anyway.

Just keepin the peace
