Shocked at the amount i have deposited in 2015

[asadzareef89]

I never deposit more than 50 ever at a casino with only 1 deposit of 100 quid in 2015 at slotty vegas(one of the few casinos i have never managed a withdrawal).

Anyways, got back from work and checking my emails when i saw an email from neteller with the amount i deposited just via neteller in 2015 and needless to say I was shocked

''Hi asad,

We're fast approaching the end of 2015 and we would like to give you an update on your VIP status.

You're currently a VIP and have transferred 16330.6727 USD to merchants in 2015 so far.

Based on your current transaction level, you will remain a VIP Bronze in 2016. Congratulations!''

I have roughly deposited the same amount via my bank account as well

Today I came to a realization that had i saved all those 20 quids that i deposited I would have saved roughly 20,000gbp. Who needs a win of 300-400 when you can save all this money by just not depositing

Any one of you ever calculated the amount deposited in a year?

The most annoying thing is that the casinos that most of this money went to have no appreciation for me as i deposit 20-30 quid a time, e.g i have made deposits totaling around 300 euros in a week to casumo but because they are in amounts ranging 10-50 i will always be classed as a low roller and no benefits but someone deposits 200 euro in a go and doesnt go back for a month will considered a high roller and treated as royalty

Today though,I have decided to cut my gaming in half and save half as recently its been awful and on top my favorite casino (guts) bonus banned me

It's all relative, when I think about it I probably only deposit about £3 - 4K per year and I consider that a lot. I tend to go no higher than £50 deposits but generally go in the £20 - 30 range. I'd rather do a lot of micro- deposits and see how the session goes before deciding whether to add more.

My withdrawals probably amount to about half of my deposits over a year, and most of the time it's just re-invested into, erm, let's see.....more gambling!

But seriously, 20 grand is a lot to deposit in anyone's world, cutting that in half can only be a good thing, especially when you're on a bad run

I know but my point is because i only deposit in increments of 20-30 quid I never realized i had deposited more than 11000gbp just from my neteller,

I deposit by a variety of different methods (some of which I don't record) and I also play with my affiliate commission at some casinos where it is paid into my player account - so I don't honestly know how much I spend in casinos per year.

I am a bit different to the OP and I can't actually understand why some players make multiple small deposits. I almost never deposit less than €/$/£100 - most are in the 200 - 300 range - but only 3 or 4 total deposits per month. I have been known to play for many weeks, and sometimes even months on one deposit!

I recently checked ALL my Neteller transactions (in and out) since I opened my account in 2005 - and the amount was totally staggering!
I don't want to post how much it was exactly, but if I had that amount in one lump sum I could buy a pretty nice house with it!

I got a similar email. my total was 39291.6368 USD, which is roughly £25,500, but although I do play almost exclusively using Neteller, I tend to only keep between £300-£500 in the account, anything in excess of £500, I transfer to my bank, and rarely deposit anything into Neteller.

So it's not like if i hadn't played at all, I'd be 25k better off, in fact I'd be worse off, since I've withdrawn more from Neteller than I've deposited.
The money has just circulated.

I had a really good August. I started the month with £300 in my account, made deposits of £6,500, withdrew £2,500 to my bank, never deposited any cash into the account and finished the month with a balance of £500. So although I made deposits of £6,500. It didn't actually cost me that, in fact I made £2,700 profit

Think of it like wagering, you could wager through £3,000 on a bonus, meaning you'd had wins during that session totalling £3,000+. But that doesn't mean you'd have had a balance of £3,000 at any point.

I got the Neteller e-mail too and the amount is pretty mind-boggling. I'm glad most of it came back, so it's not too dramatic.

However I find it quite remarkable that Neteller encourages me to deposit 248213.2579 USD more until end of the year to reach Platinum VIP. Yeah sure...

To the OP: I agree it sometimes might make more sense to deposit €100 or more in one go to be considered high(ish) roller and claim some more VIP benefits instead of depositing little amounts constantly.

I know what you mean.

I recently asked for my own history, and though the absolute number (in isolation) is one thing, you have to remember that the number is, in fact, NOT isolated. There is a context, and the context is that this is merely entertainment. I spend money on films, and that's money that I will never see again. Same with, for example, going out for a beer to carouse. The entertainment industry is HUGE, and it's something that people will NEVER not need. It's an essential part of life.

So I don't quite understand why gaming should be any different, especially when - on balance - we'd often be in the BLACK if we had cashed out when we should have.

Obviously, you have to budget, and exercise self-discipline. So if your means have been tightened, then your entertainment will need to also be tightened up.

All my transactions are recorded in my netbank and last time I did some accounting management on it checking all my deposits (direct deposits, ecopayz, neteller) since July 2014 (when I started playing slots online) up until August 2015 I had done about 19,000 AUD in deposits.

That for me personally was WAAAY more than I expected (was thinking about 10,000 AUD) as I never deposit more than $50 per transaction but to make it all better I had about 18,500 AUD in withdrawals so it was more or less even over the course of 13 months. There have been days (and still going) where I will not play at all and then there are days I deposit maybe $20 for the day and be done with it - and other days (usually weekends) where I tend to deposit ... deposit ... deposit ... deposit.

There is no chance I would have deposited 19,000 AUD worth had I not been able to make a few (or alot) of withdrawals along the way. Playing online has that nice advantage of being able to go over your entire deposit/withdrawal history and that is what I did because from April-August I had hit a brick wall with my online luck combined with my increased play during this period pretty much evened up my deposits and withdrawals.

Right now if I had to guess I'm about 22,000 AUD in deposits and 21,000 in withdrawals. Will do another check at end of the year!

Despite fancy spreadsheets and tablets and the ability to view financial info on the web, etc., when I gambled online I kept a ratty old notebook by my keyboard. Drew column lines on the pages myself - date, casino, deposit & method, withdrawal, then total up at end of week (for a heavy week) or end of month at bottom of page. Not fancy, but all I had to do to keep track of money/in out to casinos was right there by my keyboard in one glance.

All gamblers, especially those having hot streaks, should always gamble AWARE. Know, feel, realize exactly how much, where, and the cost. It may take some of the 'fun' out of it, but it also might help us not to feed every extra penny and every withdrawal right back to casinos.

I do also, Just open up an elxel work sheet on my computer and jot it down, nothing fancy, By the end of the month you need more than computer brains to try and figure what the hell I typed in but gives me a quick idea, By the first few days of the next month its normally deleted, I have just started to put them in a folder but makes no difference, But I have a few months there and wow does it add up

You should keep your spreadsheet and just keep adding to in IMHO. Excel can handle VAST amounts of information!

My Neteller spreadsheet goes back to 2005 and lists every transaction I ever put through them; currently something over 2,200 entries!
