Hello all,

after being quiet on this forum for a long time, I signed up today to share my experiences from 3 years of OC gambling. To preface the end: I'm done with it and have closed my player accounts in all casinos by now (except 1, more about that in a moment)

I signed up with StarGames a good 3 years ago. Found the Novos to be a lot of fun for a long time. Gave also in the first months a few nice wins. Gradually I have then - also due to positive reports here in the forum and after the end of the Novos other OC's tried. I stayed longer with some of them (e.g. sunmaker, Casumo, Lapalingo, Platincasino), with others I unsubscribed pretty quickly (e.g. DrückGlück, Wunderino).
All in all, I have always seen gambling as fun. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. At the end of the year there were about 2500 EUR deposits then about 2200 EUR payouts. For the time I had my fun playing the year, for me completely ok
Since the beginning of 2019, however, this has turned completely. What some have already discussed in the forum here I can fully confirm: the balance runs down even on small stakes significantly faster, the bonus games are -if they ever come- significantly more economical in the wins. And that is spread across all casinos where I have played in 2019: Platincasino, Videoslots, Lapalingo, Vera&John, Rizk.
No matter where, Deposit 50 euros (sometimes 100, but never more). Spins between 0,20 EUR and 0,50 EUR. 2 cigarette lengths and money gone. Or on the first game after the deposit a win of about 50x and then mercilessly eaten down.

Had previously also lousy phases in which nothing went for weeks or I was too stupid and the greed has set -> small wins in the end again gambled away to 0.
In 2019 it is different. More brutal, if you can put it that way. Negative balance is already over 1500 euros. That does not break my neck financially. Of course, it still sucks when you have the feeling to be really mercilessly verar**t.

My consequence: blocked the account at all casinos except Lapalingo. There is more, if I throw a 10er in a pub round times in such a box.
Lapalingo has also attracted rather negative attention here in the forum. With me it was always good. Fast payouts, stake / win in an absolutely acceptable ratio.
Has also changed. Last Friday 30 deposited via Neteller, 340 won. no 12 hours after the withdrawal request came the Verification mail (had previously always deposited with PayPal, now Neteller). So as requested screenshot with visible Neteller ID uploaded from the Neteller account. Then first no reaction. Yesterday (Tuesday) then the info that the screenshot now my account ID, address and the Neteller logo are visible. Uploaded directly and since then waiting again.
So the classic salami tactic....stall for time to delay the payout. Once the money is finally with me, there is also closed.

I do not want to convert anyone here, just raise a finger of caution.

Will continue to read here in any case and now after the registration times give my two cents

Hello and welcome. Are yes from the stakes also settled in the LowRoller, which I find absolutely ok. You just have to be strong enough and not gamble beyond his means. Sure comes from time to time a win in the house but to be honest everyone will be in the minus. The one more, the other less. I see the whole thing as a hobby. I have grds. fun at the game and like it me with others about it to exchange. Most hobbies that are cool and fun cost money.

If you want to stay away from gaming, I wish you the best of luck with it. I continue and have fun

That's how I've always seen it: as a hobby. But it makes a difference whether a hobby costs you a few hundred a year or thousands

Therefore also the small stakes. Rather 10 spins more, but then of course much less chance of fat loot than with several euros stake. But in principle it comes out the same. With higher stakes I can achieve higher wins, which then compensate for the high stakes. With small stakes correspondingly at a low level.

The fun of gambling is waiting for the win. And if it is there then, one is pleased like mad and it goes again.
But if nothing comes, the joy dies off at some point

Can only confirm that. Something has changed. Also play in 3 casinos, sometimes alternately, sometimes simultaneously. Small stakes. Deposit usually only 25 to a maximum of 50 euros and it is eaten as good as everything. If I have then actually times nen day in which I win, follow with certainty 5 days in which I win nothing

If I remember now, how often I came in the past with 25 euros deposits on the 100 and have gambled away again, I send now already almost push prayers to heaven to come again also only in the approach to such a balance. Or even to get a "run". It didn't happen often, but sometimes I got 3,4 really good freespins in a short time. Now it's been months that you get vl. a mediocre and the rest run completely empty.

Have today nen 50iger risked and BTG Millionaire gezockt. I let it run on 0.40. After some time I finally got a free game with 15 euros on the balance. Zack, were already gone again. 89% for answer B and not even the 10 spins received. I "risk" the last 15 euros with 0.60 per spin and get 4 minutes later again a bonus game. This time I get the 10 spins and it comes out 6 euros "win"

I am now also enormously bored and since then experience, I am now also considering these 3 "remaining" casinos entgültig to close. It just does not make sense anymore and with fun the whole thing has little to do.

personally, I haven't been playing for that long, but I have to say that there are almost only negative reports here. That makes you think...

Hmm maybe you have something positive to report regarding gambling ?

Personally, I only know tales of woe -
but you could change that now...so go ahead, tell something about your positive experiences with gambling.

If it is no longer fun, then do not think but make, stop is not so easy because you want to win. Fun is in winning and not in playing, no one enjoys bad free spins and a high loss. The colorful pictures alone do not make a soul happy.

I have more problems with casinos than with wins so far. But since you could definitely enjoy benefits as a new signup, that is little meaningful ......

could have been satisfied with the 8 spins, the win would also be at 20 spins as high as at the 8 spins
