Hello, do not know if there is already such a Fred, have now found nothing in a hurry but it would interest me burning:


When did you first come into contact with gambling?


For me it was around 1997 or 1998, when I was 10 years old. My uncle owned a pub and I was a guest with my parents, I think it was Easter or something... And there was a machine on the wall and I begged my father to give me a 5 mark piece to "try" once.

Without that I knew what to do I threw the coal in and pressed any buttons, the money ran down and I went again, but then there was any noise and the thing paid out (do not know more obs was independent or I had pressed on pay out, that was still mechanical I mean). 120 DM came out. So much money as a 10-year-old....

Merkur Venus Multi was the name of the machine I think or so...

This experience probably drove me into gambling....

With 16, when we have made in school n few Oddset bills. It strikes me now, how did that go eig.?
There was still no service card and no ID check. Wasn't that over 20 years ago already from 18?
No matter. So in any case with Oddset tickets. It was cool.

And the first time slots with my father, who took me to the Spielo. That was so with 20 approx.
The first and until now my favorite slot: El Torero
I remember that the first time we played together, we got free spins with lots of wilds.

Poker then 2010. I am a terrible Poker player.

And Lotto just came up at some point. Lotto is still by far the most expensive game of chance.

No offense, but I think your father has not behaved properly.Can remember that my father (not a gambler) in a chip shop has played a little on a slot machine.Have then asked if I may also play times and throw money in there.Since he has snubbed me, forbidden me and said that it is not for children.Since he was probably right

I was also very young when I played a Slot machine for the first time and that was also in a pub. I was 14 years old. One let me play there as Knirps always undisturbed. Then I got 5 suns and got 100 special games. At that moment the landlord came to me and told me that I was too young and chased me away from the machine. That remains unforgettable for me, because that was the first time I saw such a cool absolutely unique picture on a machine. Of course, it's been a long time since there was an online casino and only such Slot machines with 3 discs that rotated, left and right each ne Risk ladder and in the middle still ne playout. But even these very old things were a lot of fun for me back then.

Did the landlord pocket the money himself?

My first time was then probably so: The seller in a Lotto / Toto store has pushed me a booklet in the hand where u.a..the Oddset odds are.Bin then every 1-2 weeks on Fridays after work in the store and have usually so 3-5 bills á 3 € made, Bundesliga or 2.Liga.Later of course online sports betting such as Tipico discovered.Only later one had dealt with slots.One has e.g. a casino bonus or read certain things in the forum.Then you knew better, so which slots can throw well or how the bonus conditions are.My first played slots were probably Starburst and a few others but which slot I find cool to this day was Pumpkin Smash.Fand it just too cool if you got at least 2 pumpkins and they were allowed to break open.Until the German license has then also worked well for years with gambling and if I count all the years together I was certainly in the plus.Ja and then came the crap with the German license...

Well certainly, because he then threw me out of his pub and banned me. For me, I have concluded that he only did that to be able to bag the win itself. Before when I lost money, it was no problem for him if I played there as a minor. That was in 1990, a year after the fall of the Berlin Wall. There were not yet as tough laws as today, where immediately severe penalties are imposed if you would allow a little brat in his pub to gamble.

i unconsciously came into contact with the topic of "gambling" in high school.... At that time there was no tr 5 or so. Must have been around 2012. In the break we went to a pub and some have then gambled away in the 10 minutes 10-20 €. Once I threw in there also 2€ and iwie made 10€ out of it. I think it was Fruitinator. So really geflasht had me but not the turn came when I then had a side job and started to bet in sports. Just wanted to try my luck. Then I went out of curiosity in a gambling house and played there from time to time until the pandemic. In total I spent vllt. 1 year in the Spielos, so just before the pandemic and during the pandemic. I haven't been to a gambling house for about 1.5 years, because I've been using online gambling for about 2 years. At the beginning of my online gambling career I had a question regarding the payout and registered here

My older cousin had a machine. Ancient box with only one button, I think from Gauselmann. Something with comet or something like that. After a long time of begging he gave me the box. But it didn't really work as a money box and it didn't really work. So after a year sold on.


Then around 2012 always on Youtube the videos of Daniel (Gamblejoe), Maximaleinsatz, Mr Algu, Clubbi, Feckinger etc. gesuchtet. When StarGames came online, I don't know exactly when it was, maybe around 2013. The very first time at StarGames nen 10 psc deposited, 1200 paid out and directly fully angefixt. Then came Platin, sunmaker, Quasar, Lapalingo, energy, LVBet and many, many more. A lot of money burned in the years. At times it was very borderline money-wise. Today I have myself at least so far under control that I can say no, without having the feeling to do without something... times 3 weeks Deposit break in between have to be...

At the age of 7 on a ferry from England to Ireland.

My father gave me 5 x 20 pence for the machine, and the machine asked me quite quickly whether I would like to withdraw ~100 pounds directly or x free spins. I don't know how I derived all this at the time, it just occurred to me. I mean, of course, slots are not particularly difficult to use. But I have somehow guessed that it is better to take the money directly.

In any case, 100 1 pound coins fell out of the box and I carried them all in front of me like a starry-eyed child (an old gambler gentleman then directly threw a pound ^^), and was proud as an Oscar. Got then of course also a lot of attention, and my parents have not checked it at all, why I suddenly arrive with so much money. Have taken it away from me fortunately and first put on the account for later, were almost 300 DM.

So as warscheinlich with everyone. The first time I was in the arcade and had no plan of the machines.
Ne friend pushes me 6 euros in change in the hand with which I have won directly 140 €, the usual beginner's luck just.
One feels in the moment like a winner, but in reality one is the loser... and the vicious circle begins.
The next day, of course, right back into the Spielo, because you think it always goes like this. My win and even more of my own money went back into the machine, so you hope for the next big win, which will come soon.... And already the devil has you

Yes so 2001 around as a 13 year old I have on vacation also the first time nen Oddset combination ticket made in any supermarket on vacation at the Baltic Sea... At home hoped and prayed in the evening during the sports show and then found that 4 of 6 were correct. Monday there and wondered why I won nothing... The cashier could not tell me why. In a brochure from Oddset I then read that with a normal Kombischein ALL tips must be correct for a win...^^


I still know that I the years after (early 2000s) always by fax every week the new weekly list of Oddset have sent and then after school nen Schein have made now and then with a few euros...

I'm surprised that everyone here also started so young. With me it was also with 15 around. There was a back room at the gas station. You know, a back room where the elite of the city alcoholics meet and talk all day about how politics should be done right. And in the room there were two Poker machines where you could get mystery wins. The room was smoky, while in the background people kept ranting about current affairs. If there was no customer, the gas station employee always added his two cents and shouted his opinion from the cash register into the room.

Now and then there were situations where I had to hide, because there was a control or something similar. Can still remember well the statements: You can play here, but because you're still so young, you have to hide when who comes.

Then there was also a betting office in the village. He already had more modern machines and he also knew how old I was. It did not matter to him.

It seems to be somehow similar to smoking. They try to catch you at a very young age.
