First of all thanks for your kind words and it's good to see, that i'm at least nit alone and i certainly know, that it's only MY fault, because i'm old enough to make this decision and to reopen a casino account and finally Jackpotcapital have closed my both accounts at Slotastic and jackpotcapital forever and never let me reopen it, but why have they not done this at the end of the last year, because at this time i've written every casino, on which i play and which i had trust.
That's what i also thought, but to be fair, maybe they wasn't on the accredited list last year and since they closed at least now my accounts forever, something have changed?
Thanks for your tips with the quit gambling site, i will do this permanently.
But the thing with the gameblock software is also such a thing, because i can deinstall it at any time, so it's not really useful
Is there not any blacklist where i could give my name and full address, so they can block me from nearly every casino on the world? I mean something like a blacklist for emailaddresses.
Intertops is the same thing, because i also wanted to close my account there forever, but they only told me, that they're very sorry about it, but i can reopen my acount at any time, when i wish to, so that's also not okay for me.
Bodog have closed my account now the 3rd time and they even gaved me an option, to limit my deposits, but i don't want to play there ever again.
It was so easy to reopen there my account, on email and after 15 minutes i got an email back, that i must only call the phone support to confirm, that i want to reopen my account and that's all.
The only thing is, when you've closed your account, that you have to wait 24 hours, but then you can open your account again without any hassles.
Edit:
Ok, i see that if i quit gambling here, i can't read anything on this forum, so that's not so a good idea, because i'm very thankful about all the tips here.
Edit 2: now i'm a little bit confused, because the user Mavin1 have also "Quit Gambling" but he can write here on the forum: https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/members/
Hi Eu-lowroller, first off my sympathy and thoughts go out to you, I know what a difficult thing this must be for you.
The big reason I quit gambling is because I have lost trust and confidence in so many if not all online casinos for what a player considers a fair game.
The second really big reason, that I didn't mention in my post about quitting gambling, is because I also lost trust in myself. I guess I was ashamed to admit that publicly. I could no longer trust myself not to reverse really nice withdrawals and lost my last couple withdrawals back to the casinos.
So the loss of trust for online gambling with real money and the loss of trust in my own strength to follow though with my hard earned winnings, made up my mind that for now gambling for real money is just to risky when you have so many odds stacked against you, including yourself.
Now I had opted for the quit gambling link, but didn't ask to be removed from the forum for reasons of a gambling addiction. I did ask to be removed but then changed my mind. I have found that more than gambling I enjoy the people on this forum and sharing opinions and ideas. I guess being stuck at home, isolated from the world I used to know has caused me to seek intermingling with people in other ways. More than gambling and living with the constant risk of losing our money, talking with friends, people from all over is so much more satisfying, at least for me.
My quit gambling under my avitar was put there by me after I opted off the quit gambling link, as a reminder that although I may have thoughts to share, for now, I am no longer a gambler.
I still struggle with not gambling however and probably always will. But you have to put your personal priorities in order, such as taking care of your own life's needs. When we put the needs back in it's proper order in our lives, then wants become less important. Afterall, we can live without throwing our money away, but we can't live without eating, having utilities, a home and mode of transportation. It's a matter of survival and no casino will help you survive, but they are certainly glad to take every penny you have for their survival. I guess basically one has to start seeing the online gamming as the enemy to your very life, because it has no feeling for your needs, just your wants and preys on it.
It's like Pina's dislike for the winning screenshots, I fully understand her feelings about when it comes to those of us that have addictions, no matter what degree we may have it. We see the screenshots and think we can duplicate others fortunate wins. The hard cold fact is most of us will never duplicate those wins, ever. We will simply be the ones that keep funding them for someone else.
I think to myself, have I ever won a lottery, no, have I ever been struck by lightning, no, will I ever win a large sum of money, no. For the very few wins I have had in my lifetime of online gambling, it has never paid more to me than I have invested myself, not even a fraction, so I think what is the point? The majority of players will only have little wins now and then to keep the bait dangling in your mind that the big one is coming, but it never will.
So why put my life on hold, or deprive me of my needs just to keep on living my daily life for a dream and that is all it is, a dream, not a reality, but an illusion that doesn't pay my bills, buy my gas or feed my family and pets. So, my priorities for my life is that my life and those around me, come first. Things I enjoy, such as painting, watching movies with my mother in law, or listening to shows on the internet with my hubby at night, is second. Gambling doesn't even rate in any part of my life, because 99.999% of the time, it leaves me feeling mad and empty, like I have been robbed and the robber is starring me in the face daring me to do something about it.
When it comes to ones very life and survival, you have to take control and take your life back. My husband and I have been doing that for some time. We got rid of our tv connection, because we were tired of paying for garbage, filth, violence and such.
We got rid of our cell phones, microwave oven, because we are tired of the illnesses caused by these things.
As we find things detrimental to our lives, our existance, we get rid of it.
If gambling is a major force in ones life and you can't control it, then one needs to take the most extreme step and get rid of the connection, the computer. Once you get used to living without it, you will find yourself liking you again.
The casinos will always roll out the red carpet for any and all that want to give them money. So give yourself some money to buy your gas and food and sell your computer and learn to live life again as we did before we had them. This is one way a true addict can help defeat his addiction, get rid of the source.
I wish you the best.
