Gambling addiction in general: Playing after unlocking - How did you guys miss it?

I am interested in testimonials from players who got banned due to a loss of control and started gambling again after a long break.

I got myself banned because I lost a large part of my win in just one day and could no longer stick to the limits. Although I walked out with a small plus, my thoughts continue to revolve around Novoline progressive slots.

After the lockout I want to try bankroll management again (600€ annually).
Wins go into a locked cash box which is taken away. With 10% of the win we continue to play.
If the limit is not adhered to, I let myself be locked again.
I play only in state casinos.

Loss of control and losses in general trigger without end. You can set the most beautiful goals and limits beforehand.


I was banned from OASIS for 1 year because I gambled away too much money. Am now for almost 1 year back to gamble. And in the end I have to say, I would have much more money left if I had not continued to gamble. But the hope of the "Big Win" makes you keep going.

At least losses are reduced if you really only spend what you want to gamble away. In the medium term, I want to finally stop with sports betting. Offline I'm not interested anyway, so there is no danger of relapse. And online I can get blocked and I don't gamble with illegal providers anyway.

Did you gamble away a big win or your own cash?

What's your track record, if you don't mind me asking?

I have gambled away my money for more than 15 years. I don't know anyone who makes a win when he gambles permanently every day (for years).

I don't even want to think about the balance sheet. that goes into the 2-digit k range, minus mind you......

I can't contribute a story of my own, but in general I personally don't know of any person with loss of control gambling who later managed to regain long-term controlled gambling.

The idea of an annual budget is generally helpful, of course. "If the limit isn't adhered to, I'll get myself banned again." however, is somehow also a paradoxical plan. Because if the limits are not kept, the ban is actually already too late. If you don't keep your limits, why should you keep the ban? How do you make sure that after the 600€ you don't continue to play up to 6.000€ or higher?

Your gambling somehow starts before you even enter the casino. In other words: You are willing to bet 600€ that you will keep your limit and you bet money in an unknown amount that you are willing to get locked out if you exceed your limit.

I know some who have had a loss of control for years and today go to a cafe in the game library .
