VERY nice surprise from Guts!

[Mouche12]

Well, this never happened to me before (honestly). Just logged in and found $800 in my Guts account. CSR told me that I had won this amount in the Spring Raffle, and I can cash it all out! There was no message about this, but I don't mind obviously! I thought it was a mistake at first

Just cashed out $600 and will play some more, thanks Guts!

 

[dionysus]

well done, enjoy your windfall

 

[pinnit2014]

Raffles exist? Ppl win them?

[mina1929]

I remember the time I used to be able to play at Guts, good Casino

That’s a great start to the day. Glad you withdrew some. Spoil yourself a little.

 

[Tirilej]

Great surprise! Now spoil yourself
Also great reading something nice about Guts. They are still good in many ways

 

[Roedgaard72]

What a nice surprise! Big congrats

This belongs in another thread... and I am deeply ashamed.

Made another deposit, after I lost the $200. Worked it up to 1,900. Had 2 cash withdrawals totaling 2,500. I begged them to flush it. They said it could not be done, although it was possible 2 weeks ago. Explanation: It was busy, so it could take up to 24 hours.

End result (all my own stupid fault). Reversed the lot and blew it all on Bonanza staking $10 per spin.

That's too bad. I know this doesn't do any good now, but perhaps if something similar arises in the future you could try temporary self exclusion (for however long a cashout takes)? Not sure if they offer that for short periods of time or not there, but then you don't even have to THINK about the possibility of reversing that withdrawal.

 

[Mouche12]

Yes, when I got back to them that's what they suggested, but that suggestion was not made when I needed it and asked for a manual flush. I should have thought of that myself.

 

[goatwack]

Thought this thread was about Guts finally handling Steviedoo's withdrawal

Clickbait!

 

[dunover]

Yes, it does happen. I won £500 once at SkyVegas in their daily raffle. W/D £450 and then turned the £50 into a healthy cash-out on the Rapist IIRC.

wow Not something I thought I'd ever read from yourself

Feel your pain but only positive thing you can take from it is, bookmark this page as a reminder and don't ever do it again!

 

[Borgie]

Now if Guts had popped up on this thread having studiously ignored steviedoos..... !

 

[colinsunderland]

I won an Echo Spot from SkyVegas a couple of weeks ago in a raffle!

 

[dpp00]

i won on guts and rizk yesterday 3 withdrawals all paid within 10 mins not huge but great for me (£160/£120/£300

i just wonder how some people seem to get messed around sometimes with no rhyme or reason casinos shall ever remain mysterious,

 

[Mouche12]

Yes, I was almost begging the CSR to flush my withdrawal. I made it clear that it didn't need to be in my Neteller account immediately, just that I was not able to reverse it. Boilerplate answer: up to 24 hours....

Two weeks ago they could flush it and it was paid very fast too, but this time it wasn't.

Oh well, I think I'll go back to VS - they do pay fast every time (in my experience).

And yes, it's true Guts has been very generous with bonuses and free spins, but fast cashouts (or at least locked withdrawals or flushing) are crucial to me.

 

[SpinUk]

As trading conditions worse due to more and more regulation i think we are going to see a lot more of this stuff happening

 

[Mouche12]

Can you elaborate SpinUK? Guts promotes RG but does not (or not always) flush withdrawals. You mean they hold on to withdrawals longer to compensate for their own losses?

 

[snorky510238]

Surely if regulations are changing in favour of RG we should be seeing the back of it, no?

 

[Mouche12]

By the way, I reached out to the rep (Aleksi). As a plaster, and also considering my unique case, he has added Super Free Spins on Starburst, 100 fs on Gonzo's and a $50 nd bonus with 10x WR (which resulted in a free bonus of more than $100). To me this is proof that Guts do care about player retention.

I wasn't lucky though, but there's always next week.

I think you made out better

 

[Mouche12]

I got a similar promo (30 Super Spins for a €200 deposit), but this was tailored to my unique situation...

I'm really sorry that happened

I don't really play slots unless I think I have close to a neutral or positive EV opportunity. But 2-3 times, my impulsiveness got the better of me and I raised my stakes and lost ~€1-2k each time, because my RTP can never go above like 60% when I raise the stakes! When it happens though, I'm completely aware of what's happening at all times & I feel sick to my stomach! But I still just keep going. So I was curious when reading this (and others are free to chime in too); did you feel the same way I did during the process of losing the €2.5k? Or were you enjoying yourself just gambling away and then after some time had passed, realized "shit, I just lost it all"? Or something in between?

I'm just a bit fascinated with the effects that gambling can have on one's brain after these events and after watching a bunch of documentaries about problem gambling (to deter myself from ever doing that again). Because I used to think that I would never stoop to that sort of behavior, yet I still did because I entered like a really degenerate state of mind. And the shame afterwards felt crippling, like I just wanted to disappear lol.

 

[Mouche12]

Very good questions xexe. For me it's like I am entering this "zone" (while I was doing $10 stakes on B.) and I'm trying to "will the slot" into paying me at least 150x-200x or a bonus feature, which then of course never happens in that session.

There are also times that I have sufficient self-control as I don't allow myself to emerge completely into this "zone". Still, this doesn't explain all of it. It can also be attributed to self-destructive behaviour at that point. Self-punishment triggered by some subconcious motive(s) perhaps... But in the end, I just love the rush and find it often difficult to stop playing. High levels of adrenaline and dopamine that keep me wide awake and excited for many, many hours.

Of course I felt disappointed about blowing it all away, but I didn't feel stressed or depressed about the loss itself. In the end I had lost $254, that's around my weekly limit. I was upset about my withdrawals still being pending, despite my request to flush them.

 

[SlotGrinder]

Slots use covert hypnosis and persuasion techniques to keep you spinning also . Visual and audio . Have you ever been spinning away and then thought "shit how did my balance get that low " ? That's because you have been induced into a trance whilst on a long run of losing spins . You will notice that during that time the music will have gone low and repetitive , just as one example , to not break you out of your spinning "routine" . When you get a win the music will get louder and more energetic to draw your attention to that win and make you think "hey its ok look Im winning" , before dying down again as the dead spins return
I'm not blaming the slot providers entirely but mix their psychological tricks with a gambler's mentality and that's what you get
Show me one game where your balance (the most important thing ?) is displayed prominently in big clear numbers No , they hide that away somewhere in the corner but when you win any amount there's usually no getting away from it as coins fly in the air for your 2x win and the win amount appears in big letters right in the middle of the screen
Also casinos hypocritically spout responsible gaming whilst using the same techniques . Deposit button is green , withdrawal button is red etc

 

[Mouche12]

I always have sounds on, but via headphones which I leave on my desk - never on my head. But it's all true what you mention SlotGrinder. I am quite picky when it comes to slots and only play a few. A less dangerous slot for me in terms of balance is Cloud Quest. I love the visual effects most and had quite a few decent wins on it. A RG session for me would be playing slots with low to medium variance at higher stakes. Just a couple of 100x, maybe 200x wins here and there make me quite happy.

 

[SlotGrinder]

Yeh whenever I lose a big balance its because Im chasing some hard to get bonus on a merkur game (over 500 spins at £5 on Gold of Persia the other day didn't end well) or because I keep buying bonuses and gambling them hoping for that max megaways start When you get it in your head that a massive win could be just around the corner it becomes very hard to stop

 

[Mouche12]

Very true SlotGrinder! And most Merkur games can be absolutely brutal (they're no longer available to Dutch players, maybe that's a good thing).

When spinning $10 on B., I was adamant to get 100x or 200x, THEN I would end the session. Unfortunately the slot was dead and I couldn't stop...

Understandable if you're a low roller. I got exactly the same promo, but CS knows that I usually deposit around $270 a week. Unfortunately the time frame doesn't fit my schedule, but I often get rewards if I don't cash out...
