Just read the entire thread for the first time. My verdict: more EMSEB BS only the casino names are different.
Plus, I am just flabbergasted that players SE because they have a problem, showing they want to stop, but keep control of their debit/credit cards or other financial means which enables them to open a new account within seconds of the last SE. That is akin letting an alcoholic, who says he wants to stop, stay in a distillery!
When things go south then, they cry foul in any possible way to get their deposits back, however, we have not heard a single player that was actually in profit while playing under SE that returned the profit! ....just sayin'
Personally, I have some understanding for these cases as I too worked for years with addicts but it is waning, too many opportunists take up the "win-win" strategy.....SE, deposit, win, get paid - stay "schtumm" | SE, deposit, loose, cry foul and ask for your deposits back and please pronto!
IMO, any problem gambler doing just an SE is not serious about fighting his/her addiction. A lot more has to be done in their own responsibility, e.g. giving up control over cards and finances, joining a group, make a plan on how to fill the suddenly free time, etc.. As long as they only SE is is just like window-shopping, they will carry on playing, just at a different casino.
In conclusion - to the OP: good luck with getting your dosh back but if you really want to give up gambling then SE'ing here and there can only be a start.
