Enough is enough

[monkeymagic]

So my stakes started to get really high. I wasn't happy spining 2.25 or 4.50 a spin anymore. It had to be more, like 11.25 or 22.50 or even 45.00 spin. I've probably done about 30-40k since last November, chasing.

Enough is enough and drastic measures have to be taken.

Be careful out there everyone. Don't get sucked in like me.

Take it easy....

A casino that has all your details should be able to complete your request.

In fact, if they fail to comply, they might be liable for your losses.

Sometimes enough is enough, and I applaud you for recognisizing your "enough". The casino should help you here instead of requiring you to fill out more forms.

Damn Cheeky,

I am sure sorry to see what you are going through. Wow! Well, they say one step at a time and you have taken that step so nothing to do but keep plodding along. I fervently hope you find the strength you are looking for to harness this problem.

Maybe the answer lies in the smiles of those toddlers of yours. Load them into the ole pram and push them all over town. One step at a time.

Wishing you all the best.

They did I would imagine the forms, while not mandatory, are something that helps the casino prove to the powers-that-be it was a player request, at a guess.

Good move Cheeky. I know what you mean - the higher you bet the harder it is to come down. I actually did a similar kind of thing - closed most of my accounts and applied player protection limits to a few select ones just so I could keep abreast of developments and games for my websites and so that I wouldn't get sucked in.

Good luck and enjoy the money you save

All the best mate, keep your head up. At the end of the day it is only money and that can be returned, focus on the family now.
