Poll Are you spending more or less on gambling during the Covid-19 lockdown?

[interlog]

I haven't made a deposit for weeks now for two reasons:

(1) Way too busy at work so little or no time to play
(2) I normally combine my gambling with streaming and for ethical reasons I don't find it correct to stream my play whilst people are locked up at home

 

[xraymitch]

That's the question - due to the fact that you are more than likely stuck at home, are you spending more or less now on online gambling?

Are you gambling more with a decreased bankroll? Or have you increased your bankroll and are betting more than usual? Whatever the answer is, why? Is it out of boredom? Are you using the money you'd be spending on gas at the casinos? Has the lockdown affected your gambling behaviour?

I have played a lot more on the slots but for reduced stakes per spin. My increased slot play has led to a growing disenchantment with the slots machine industry and this morning I have decided to call it a day and give up playing on the slots.

Nice one mate hopefully when this crap is lifted your decision will reep some rewards

Ever since I retired last Dec I have been playing more online and even more so due to the coronavirus. Prior to yesterday I hadnt been outdoors for more than 3 months as my health conditions arent exactly ideal. With there being no local infections in Hong Kong for more than 2 weeks I went to the hospital yesterday to have my blood taken prior to an appointment this Friday.

As always guys, please wear your face masks as this is one prime reason why we have no local infection cases recently. Schools and businesses will resume soon over here.

I am spending less during this pandemic lockdown the kids and things to do around home were keeping me busy. I'm not a massive spender anyways like I could deposit $20 with a bonus just to wager it if you know what I mean I get more of a thrill having that goal of wagering their bonus tasks but yeah I've deposited once during these 5 weeks and that was out of bordem

 

[Fiekie247]

I am spending a bit more than usual online gambling, however my bets have decreased from the standard $1 to about $0.40 on average most times and sometimes $0.60 since I play more and make more deposits a day. I do not claim any bonuses anymore, so straight cash.

Also I have been in profit during this period and noticed I have more bigger x250 - x500 wins on lower bets than the $1 range.

I also think my gambling will stay above average now for a very long while, because now it was confirmed I can work permanently from home now.

However with above said, I still stick to my monthly $200 gambling budget(Yeah I know its little, but I am a small/low roller gambler and for most its for the fun). If I lose it, I wait for the next month to play, unless I get a freebie from some casino or make a win from Social Tournaments and manage to make a withdrawal for some extra cash for more online play.

I'm spending the same amount. Though, I'm tending to play more frequently, probably because I'm bored, and playing the slots helps pass the hours.

My hat tilts to you Sir. That's a very respectable, and decent stance to take. A few casino operators, affiliates and such, could learn a thing or two, from following your ethics.

There seems to be a growing concern from the main stream media - and from the politicians that follow it - that people are throwing caution to the wind and blowing their savings out of being bored stuck at home. What say you?

I play every day anyway im use to being on lockdown im agoraphobic and live on my own and playing bingo and slots passes the days away and im quite lucky to be honest i always gain by the end of the night lol

 

[MartiniMan]

Back in the 90's I suffered PTSD, it also included random bouts of agoraphobia. I totally get where your coming from. Virus or no virus, every waking hour is lock-down. It's groundhog day, every day. Best advice I can offer is, take baby steps. It's not easy but you can beat this. Find a good therapist, someone you feel safe with. There is light at the end of the tunnel

 

[RickyMicky]

To be honest, I spend less now, since I have less free time. I have an online job, children are at home and want my attention, I am also engaged in self-education. So this is the way now.

 

[geordiecolin]

More during the last 3 days thanks to you. Or should I say your great promotions going on at the moment?
I have been bloody lazy recently and span way more than I would usually do. I have to say though that if I had been losing it would have sharply came to a stop because slotting is not my major vise and I remain in control of what I spend.
Viva the relaxing of restrictions

 

[Nobunaga]

It's been more for me, but plan to taper it a bit during the summer.

 

[RazuBit]

More definitely, since I'm working from home. I'm trying to limit myself since it's too much of a distraction at times.

[bookofpeker]

Nothing changed for me, I was a gambler going to land-based casino, now I am gambler playing in online casino. Thanks God I did not lose my job during this period and managed to spare some money from my winnings online. Good luck to everyone and Stay safe and play responsibly!

What choice did you make from the list of online casinos?

 

[johnnybagel]

I've been spending about the same, but I have been rinsing all the free games at places like William Hill and Coral and Starspins. And i'll jump on any offers that are nice and easy to get as well. I didn't really do that before. So i'm spending the same but playing more

 

[Downsman]

Mine's reduced a lot lately, mainly because i've started playing Hearthstone after hearing @ChopleyIOM
mention it in one of his vids..great game.

 

[BrianGhattas]

I’m down $2100 after half a year, which is way more than I usually lose in a whole year. I have gambled more because the COVID-19 pandemic has kept me away from my more expensive vices. From 2017 to 2019 I spent a good $8-10000 a year on “working ladies”.

 

[Playford7]

My deposits are almost at nil, well have been for weeks.

No work means any savings etc I’ll not be using to gamble, So in answer to the question my gambling isn’t less, due to the lockdown it’s stopped.

I fell into a category that I wasnt employed,un-employed or self employed..

8-10k is ufff too much for me. Are you okay with that?

 

[BrianGhattas]

@RickyMicky

I don’t have a choice if I want no strings attached fun.

 

[JohnSnow]

Offcourse you do but maybe you are just ugly and a introvert like me.

You can also fap.

Brian has only been with 10 last year, they were $10 hookers, but they charged him "Ugly Tax" so it cost him $1,000 a time

(Sorry Brian)

I think this is an offer that is difficult to refuse.

Bloody hell. I have been reliably informed that Madam Fifi near me charges £30 a pop so I could afford it every day barring religious days and afford to buy seductive candles for that

 

[Raman2202]

I had stopped gambling for 3 months when but once I stated again I have gambled way more than before lockdown. Tbh i've been lucky i've had a couple of big wins on slots and live monopoly which saved me from some big losses.

Same. Now I prefer to read more reviews before I make a decision and usually this is the better strategy. Many of my friends act too confident and lose money for stupid reasons. Valuable tips in CrapMeister Casino can save you from real troubles. Knowlege is powerful weapon and strategies are made for this specific reason.

Good luck!

Spambanhammer duly applied to this Polish spammer.

 

[GordonotRamsay]

Yeah, I've been really gambling online more. It's hard to think about the outside world right now, so this is a sort of escape. Hope all of you guys are doing fine!

 

[Marry Sweet]

I agree it is better to escape in this online gambling than to see what is happening outside. During this pandemic, everything is getting crazy.

 

[przemo10p]

During the pandemic times I am spending much more time on gambling. During this time I found socialtournaments which still are taking my time

 

[Marry Sweet]

Not sure that I am spending more, maybe you are playing on incorrect platforms. You know, now we have a lot of possibilities to find the best gambling games. If you are losing maybe you have chosen the wrong game. Now I'm playing here at ***SNIP*** and I'm happy that my friend shared this with me. I won from the first try an amount of 100$ with is great no?! Of course, now I'm spending there some money but at the same time, I'm still earning money. So maybe it is time for you to change something in your gambling games?!

Which is why you use proxy servers to come here and shill for a dodgy oriental casino. Bye.

 

[olga909]

I spend less time

 

[YixingLao]

I think I am at the middle. Also been trying other stuff to keep myself busy. But I really did enjoy playing casino games. You guys might wanna check out *snip*. They also have a lot of bonuses and rewards. I also noticed that I am earning points as I play.

[maxd says: hold the spam please. if you didn't intend it to be spam please be aware that it certainly looked like spam. live links to casinos are generally NOT a good idea, especially for newbies.]
