Those who can't handle it are too weak and use addiction as a cheap excuse. Of course, things that excite a certain region of the brain are fun. But you have to be able to control that. Sounds simple? It is.

The simple rules of gambling are widely known: Don't chase your losses, don't gamble beyond your personal means, and so on.

Simple

This is what I meant at the beginning with the loss of "impulse control". There are people who can control themselves well because the affinity for gambling is present, but does not show pathological traits. It may therefore be that this "strength" you are talking about is present in you or me

For many other players, the basis for a slide into addiction may already be given by personal circumstances or a disposition to various physical or psychological dependencies, even without the affected people themselves understand or know this.

This "Nope, no daddling today" is certainly easy for some. However, it is a bit too easy to interpret this condition as "weakness" in gamers who get into addiction. Rather, the whole issue is based in the majority of different causes that can then grow in extreme cases to an addiction
It may be up to you how you evaluate this for yourself.

Just my 2 cents

Hello you,

yes, it is true that playing can be fun. But, unfortunately, every addiction also starts like this: "Come on, try it". It is really important that it remains in moderation and you do not fall into addiction. It becomes dangerous if you suddenly win fabulous at the beginning. So it was with me before years in the casino bath Pyrmont. About 130 euros used and after about 2 hours Roulette game 1,000, - Euro win.

Something in the head must be burned out then and already one plays constantly and ignores the losses. Actually I would have had to pull at the latest after approx. 1000 - 2000 euro loss the emergency brake. But no I played on until almost ruin.

Some people lose control when playing. It is not only a drug, it is like an intoxication and above all it is simply also greed. Instead of being satisfied with even small wins, people want to win more and more.

In addition, this gimmick is unfortunately added to the fact that there are more and more OCs that refuse payouts and have left the serious way. When it comes down to it, you can't do anything as a player anyway because the operators are based abroad.
