It all started in 2006, I had a good job and was in a good financial position. The horror began when I had to wait at a train station for a friend to drive me home, because he could not. As it happens, my friend was late and I had to wait. It rained and I looked for shelter in a game room, because you could smoke inside. As it happens, I also wanted to try it and changed 20 euros and went to the machine "WINNER". After a few spins the 3 suns came and I won an incredible 390€. The feeling was just indescribable

Then the horror slowly began

I went in more often now and from a bet of 50€ became 200€, 500€ until I gambled away my complete salary of 1700€ every month after 1 year!!!! I had dissolved my savings book with 12000€ and also this went in only 3 months into the gambling house. All this went on for exactly 4 years. In 2010 I got a better job and also then earned more. Until then, thanks to gambling, I had a mountain of Debt of 45000€ at the bank through 3 loans I had taken. I had every month after only 3 days already no more money and still lived with the parents. My father knew of my suffering and he helped me as good as he could, with the request of course that I should stop. I promised him that and still couldn't keep it....

At some point it happened that in the gambling house you could only win a maximum of 1000€ at the machine and the ID card obligation was introduced. Thanks to this ID obligation, I let myself be blocked at the gambling house and nationwide. This also worked very well and I was already prevented from entering and so I remained free of play. The whole thing lasted only 8 months until I stopped at a casino by chance
I went in and was really surprised that you could play directly without waiting until the money is booked. Also the stakes up to 100€ per spien amazed me. I won in the casino incredible 8000€ and the horror started all over again. Only that by gambling houses it became much worse. I gambled away no more 1000 € but 5000€ every month, because I earned much more through the new job

In the casinos I gambled away after reviewing my bank statements within 4 years the proud sum of 120,000 €!!!!

I let myself then thanks to my father in each casino block and became again play-free

I played until 2015 no more and made myself independent with an Internet company

I was now earning a 5-digit sum per month and thanks to my gambling-free time I could pay all my loans and was also debt-free
Then came the accidental click on an online casino advertisement. As my curiosity was so I deposited 50€ and of course I won again immediately and could withdraw 2000€
From that moment I played almost every day and my losses became EXTREME!!!!
From 2000€ in the month became 4000€, 6000€, up to the fact that I gambled away every month 10,000 € with stakes of 10-20 euros per SPIN!

So it went for the next 4 years and what did I have left?

The company had to file for bankruptcy. I have gambled away in the 4 years about 500,000 € in Online Casinos + a mountain of debt of 480,000 €. I also lost my wife and the two children. The marriage and the 2 children have arisen in my gambling-free time!

Now on 29.04.2019 I stand there with NOTHING....Have gambled away my life!!!!
