Living with gambling addiction: Game free and worries

Topic created on 11th Apr. 2021 | Page: 1 of 2 | Answers: 11 | Views: 5,847

Hello,
I deposited about 1000 - 1500 Euro per month in online casinos.
The day before yesterday and yesterday it was even a total of 14 deposits and 4 withdrawals.
I would like to become gambling-free now, professional help is "requested".

I have already thought about telling the savings bank that it should no longer post Trustly payments.
But I'm afraid that something happens to me because of the excessive gambling the last two days. Is actually illegal in NRW.... What if they book my win back on Monday or something? So far, nothing happened, but I had not exaggerated. Makes stomach ache and tired.

So they will certainly not charge back your win.
You write that you have made large monthly deposits, you can be sure that these have not gone unnoticed, but it seems that the bank does not mind, they would certainly have contacted you in the meantime.
You have now pulled the emergency brake, which in my view is the only right thing to do if you have the feeling that you have already developed an addiction.
I would just wait and see and if the bank should contact you against all odds, you can tell them the truth, because as written, they can already assess that when they take a closer look at your deposits.
There is no reason to be ashamed and you are now in the process of wanting to change that.
Exactly this point I would mention then also, if it should give a feedback.
If I were you, I wouldn't give myself a stomachache/headache unnecessarily.

That was my biggest worry, that the wins back book. Because gambling is in such a legal gray area.
As long as that does not happen, everything has turned out well.
Although unnecessarily many deposits made, but at least no loss.

Yes I want to take my life in hand. Must now in April again use my Dispo, then I'm out . And then I will save instead of gambling my money.

You don't have to say it so publicly on your bank. You could also protect yourself by deactivating your online banking. Then you would be deprived of the possibility to make further payments via Trustly and Co. 3x Pin enter incorrectly on the PC and then it no longer works.

You can block the Trustly then you can no longer make deposits in any casino in the world with Trustly, look in the thread casino and withdrawals there I have an address where you report to me it worked within 2 hours.

I held out and stopped playing. What about money laundering suspicions for deposits and withdrawals? Have read a lot about it. What contributions would you have to worry about?

At the Sparkasse, the lights go on when you have a receipt of more than 9999.99€ in one payment, then their money laundering and organized crime department automatically becomes active.

I don't want to know anything better here, but they may become active much sooner.

I had a few times in the range of a few 100€ over the machine in the savings bank deposited money.
Shortly afterwards, they called and wanted to know where the money came from, etc.

And then they passed it on internally
But never came what!
But I was able to prove cleanly where the cash came from, so it was not black money or something.

With cash that is something else, I have here the amount meant with foreign transfers.
