Then why are you still playing?

Life story. Because it's been a hobby for over 10 years. Because you don't get bored when you're playing, it definitely chases boredom away. I don't have any children and I don't want to bring any into this world. I live on my own, so no one holds me back. If I were a father, I wouldn't play at all. My girlfriend has her own apartment and that's a good thing, but luckily we're not together every day. Sometimes you're too busy to play, so you don't even think about who's playing today or which slot you're opening

I don't have many friends in my life. When you grow up in Duisburg, people can quickly become sneaky, criminals, drug addicts or whatever else, they didn't have such a good youth/childhood. They took a wrong turn at some point and never found their way back. Grew up rather poor, youth home, skipped school, etc. I didn't grow up the way I should have. I also lost a lot of people through crime and drugs, for example. False friends who aren't really friends and at some point there are none left. This means that you sometimes have enough time for gambling. I myself only used weed, alcohol and tobacco and I'm glad I didn't do more. But friends are gone and other people don't need new friends. The biggest joke is that it's not your fault. I'm someone you immediately like, but that's just the way it is, there are only 24 hours in a day. I don't work so much that I'm fully occupied, and there's time for gambling in between, which isn't always good either

Things used to go quite well before the German license. You realized you could win something. No Deps top, casinos/bookmakers top, everything was good. Then came the nonsense with the license and then it was over. Maybe people are hoping that things will go back to the way they used to be and are getting carried away. But I'm also on the verge of leaving gambling behind or not depositing at all

My body is no longer like it used to be, you notice that more and more things are breaking down. While others (family, a few friends, acquaintances) are doing things, I don't feel like doing them myself. You have no more energy, and I wouldn't have any for children either. In between, you just play slots or place a sports bet, watch a series or do household chores

By now you know that it's nonsense. You now know what "You don't play with money" means. It's not easy to give it up completely. Just being at GJ is a good trigger. But I'm not a hardcore player. I don't bet extremely high and can quickly lose the desire to gamble. I don't go to gambling halls/casinos at all. Oh yes, and winning is just fun! It's entertainment. Enough life story

Hi guys, I've been a silent reader for years and have been involved with this topic for a long time.
I think the reason is that new games are constantly being added. You used to play game xy forever, now you can't see as quickly as Pragmatic, for example, releases a new game. In my opinion, the number of players per game is so huge that it's hardly possible to win big.

Oh, Butterbrezel made me aware that this is my first post.
I'm sorry if I didn't introduce myself properly beforehand. I've been registered here for a while and like to read along and actually thought I'd said something years ago when I registered.
So a warm hello to everyone!

That's true about the tinsel. With the gambling agreement, it was as if the casino world had been changed from colorful to black and white. At the same time, lively communication about the slots and gambling itself largely died out. By that I mean conversations without complaints or whining. There used to be that here too. Unfortunately, the whole thing quickly turned negative and has stayed that way. Of course there are exceptions, but basically everything revolves around complaints, the threat of criminal charges or the hunt for offers. We can only hope that things will get better at some point and the tinsel will return.

I also think there will be nothing more to come with a "tinsel comeback".
Personally, I don't mind so much now, I started my "career" with betting anyway. For a long time, I was on two tracks, but since the regulation, I have significantly reduced my slot activity. Now and then I Deposit something again, but rather sporadically.
For betting, the DE providers are perfectly fine for my needs.

However, betting is no longer as much fun as it was before regulation. Unfortunately, far too many offers have been dropped.

If the partially limited offer at the "Germans" really spoils your desire to bet so much, it would be an easy undertaking - even if it is only with a reputable "external" booth, which you can find in abundance - to restore the desire. It only has to serve as a side option if you really can't find a certain betting market among yours

I believe that with the abolition of the 5-second rule and acceptable RTP values, a bit of tinsel would be back in the slots sector. But I have little hope for that either. Otherwise, I deposit and play much less than before the regulation. An alternative would be to switch to sports betting, but somehow that still lacks a certain appeal.

Even if the spinning is no longer as much fun as it used to be - at least you make a moderate profit. I wouldn't recommend switching to sports betting with a clear conscience: the RTP there is roughly only 90% and without any affinity for sports and/or previous experience, you will be mercilessly squeezed out in the medium term at the latest.

As a silent reader of your sports chat, I really don't feel the slightest urge to get involved or to get to grips with the subject matter. I could never imagine going out on my bike in the evening to buy a PSC because of the weather, as Olli mentioned several times recently. However, I wouldn't do that for the slot sector either. I like to think that without the slightest affinity for the sport, you can get squeezed pretty hard. And even with an affinity, it's still gambling. But enough offtopic and back to the tinsel.

It's sports tinsel after all The offer that we'll take selected new customer offers under fire together like Bonnie & Clyde still exists, of course Basically, however, I think you should invest your money where there is a minimum of know-how, otherwise it's gone. If someone puts me at the Poker table, I have no chance at all. No ifs, ands or buts, and it doesn't help if I know the rules (which isn't even the case). The same applies to blackjack. It's even worse Pre-programmed to be shot down...But storing an emergency ration of €20, €30, €40 or €50 PSC credit at home would also make sense to me in order to avoid gas station fights, but everyone has to know that for themselves. But then you can't complain.

But maybe cycling and the exercise that goes with it is the only sensible thing about the whole sports weather... 🤔

Getting beer by bike at least makes total sense, but PSC cards are far too strenuous
