You are what everybody in my village calls AN ASSHOLE! There is no need for such condescending comments. The OP has a sickness and if you knew anything about it you wouldn't be such a dick to him.
I know exactly about problem gambling as I stated I have had issues in the past the only way I managed to get better is by taking responsibility for my actions. This man knew he had a gambling problem yet still allowed himself to have control of large amounts of money ,bank cards etc only one thing was ever going to happen
I think rather than blaming the casino he should take responsibility for his action and get the help he needs or next month he will sign up to another new casino spend all his money and be back here trying to work a angle to get it back.
Why do I say this because I have been there , I lied to friends and family to gamble , I worked silly anounts of overtime just so I could gamble , I sold most of my possessions so I could gamble . I did everything I possibly could to gamble . And how did I stop by waking the FUCK up and taking responsibility , did the casino encourage me to gamble yes , was it there fault no it was mine and mine alone gambling is a illness but unless you do something about it then you will never change .
I'll tell you a story my friend had a £180k house mortgage free , he worked earning £1200 a month , had a family etc he would gamble thousands every month m- get loans out to pay back what he owed then more loans to pay the loans he had . He then took out a massive loan against his house ( all while hiding this from his wife ) every time I spoke to him he was more and more stressed trying to win his money back . He complained and blamed everyone except himself . Then one day it all came to ahead he lost his house , his wife found out how bad it was and he lost his family for weeks after he sat around feeling sorry for himself until a family member told him some home truths
They explained you had a bought house , a family that loved you and a secure job. You had financial security .
But you choose to gamble , you choose to take loans out , choose not to pay bills to hide your issue from family . They said you were well enough to apply for the loans but not well enough to pay bills ...
My friend said that gambling is a illness , his family member took him cancer a illness , a illness were the person has no control over the outcome . Gambling is a addiction which the person does have the power to control the out come . He said you keep telling me it's not your fault you have this gambling illness and it's not your fault and asked what you have done to make things better . My friend said that he complained to the casino and bank as they should not have allowed him to gamble as if they spotted the large amounts he was spending and stopped it this would not have happened . My friends family member said that's a lot of shit as you would have spent it somewhere else and said complaining to someone isn't doing anything that is passing the blame . You are quick eniggg to say you have a illness but do nothing about it . Your family have lost there home , there security , your wife has lost her husband , your kids have lost there dad . Your actions have destroyed 3 people's life's
That was the kick up the backside he needed , my friend joined a ga meeting , he worked extra shifts to pay back bills. He gave control of his finances etc to that family member and got a private let . After 8 months of Hard work his wife and kids came to live with him again . I was speaking to him the other day and he was extremely happy and looked stress free . He said that if it was t for his family member to give him the wake up call then he would not have his family around him and would have probably took his own life through self pity . He said that's been over a year and I haven't gambled and that he could not be happier
