Has anyone stopped because....

[just play]

I know there has been a few posts about people quitting gambling, but this is sorta different I guess.

Has anyone stopped gambling ONLY because of the problems depositing and waiting forever to receive your money?

I wanted to do a poll, but I wanted to hear people talk about it.

If you did stop, how hard was it? And do you miss it?



For me...I'm thinking about cutting down because it takes so long to receive money, I usually reverse the cashout. So far I can usually deposit with no problems *knock on wood* lol

I've had that problem where the casino deliberately take ages for anyone to cash out but they instantly allow deposits, bet365 are notorious for making someone wait 2 or 3 days before they finally cashout. Its mainly the primary reason why I've stuck with betfair and betvoyager so far, they don't use this practise.

I cut down at RTG's and MG's for the simple reason that I cant seem to win anymore. Ive had a bad streak at 3dice too and got rid of all my rivals.
So Im down to one new RTG and 3dice. I havnt even made a deposit at the new RTG.

For me, depositing and getting paid are not the problem, its winning

depositing too might become a problem....if you never win
The problem its called :shortage of funds

Went cold turkey for a full year when the NETeller chit hit the fan. I hung out here just like always, I just wasn't playing. If a casino hit me with a no deposit bonus, I'd play (and lose).

I missed it at first I guess, but I was so mad about the UIGEA and NETeller and all that stuff that I spent a lot of time trying to keep up with what was going on. Now, I pretty much stay busy with other hobbies.

When I started playing again, I got back in slowly, one casino at a time, and with small deposits. I've seen no reason to increase my deposits. Can't hit anything, can't even get playtime for my money so I've already cut back even more to playing only occasionally. It's a PITA (and costly) to get money to and from the casino -- especially when it's mostly 'to' the casino and nothing coming back. Soon, I'll be on the sidelines again. If it's not fun I'm not doing it. And the piss poor amount of 'fun' I get out of my deposits is convincing me to step back even further.

Being from NY I have a very hard time depositing. I play the free tourneys at MG'ing casinos and 3Dice. I've actually won some at 3Dice and a few kind folks here have gifed me some free money there.

So to answer your question...I miss it so much but I know when I get home I can still "gamble" so to speak!

I haven't stopped and have been doing pretty well. No problem depositting and as far as it taking too long for a cash out. If the casino is not one to do an overnight withdrawal (ie: inetbet) then I request that they flush my account (regardless of how small my win is.. cause I will cash out as low as $50 to quicktender if I don't see a positive session at a casino).
So far when I request a casino flush my account it is usually in my quicktender within 24 hours of my request.

I deposited $200 this weekend and it was gone pretty quick, my husband said to me "your done already?" He even noticed the different lately and he's not a gambler.

I hate waiting the 24 hours, then on weekends you have to wait allllll weekend because they don't do business on weekends it's just becoming annoying instead of fun. Not all casinos, but a lot of them.

Believe it or not Bodog used to by my absolute favorite, but waiting 2-3 months to get paid!!!

Free tournys at MG suck for me, I always come in around 200th place...lol...and the few lucky times I have been in the money, I never get anything cuz there are buy-ins and I just get passed. Why do they let you play past the time with buy-ins anyway

3Dice tournys are worse...I won a few when I first joined but haven't won since then. (and sometimes I play A LOT of them) Sometimes I can tell who is going to win just by looking at the names of who is playing, I am almost always right. I bet a penny with my husband...lol, or I am in first and in the last few minutes I get passed...I think I am the unluckiest person here.
