Hello first of all to the forum,

i would like to share my little story here from the past 5 days, as I have no one else to talk to about it. If this is the wrong place for it, then please move the topic.

Anyway, here is my story:

It was the end of the month and the account was empty. I was playing slots in fun mode when an idea popped into my head: "What if you Deposit 250€ next month and try to get a big win with 5€? Since there were still a few days left until the payment, I went to the slots in fun mode and tried out with 5€ stakes what could be fetched. Most of the time I spent with Fancy Fruits. Every now and then I restarted and made 50 spins on 5€ and saw what came out. Surprisingly, there were only a few cases where the first 50 spins paid nothing. Sometimes there were 5x grapes, sometimes 4x sevens. "Wow", I thought, that's how I do it. From that moment on I was convinced that next month I would get a really big win. I imagined how suddenly even 5x sevens would come up and I would really cash out.

Anyway, the new month began and the money arrived on time. I could hardly wait to get home and finally get started. Off I went to SlotsMillion, made my first deposit of 250€, opened Fancy Fruits and off I went. The first few spins brought 4x cherries. "The plan is working," I thought, "probably it's about to really go down.". However, it only went downhill and the money was played through. Now, a reasonable person would have quit or gambled on lower stakes and just had some fun, but no, I wasn't going to accept that what I was looking forward to wasn't going to happen. So I deposited again. More and more. But the Big Win did not happen. Nothing came, absolutely nothing. In the end I made a loss of about 550€ at Slotsmillion.

At the latest now, I should have stopped and let it be good. Have learned my lesson, but the rent and everything else must be paid. So it went on, off to Videoslots, credit card out and deposited. And again, a dry spell. No big wins, except what went in. Hoping for some tips, I browsed all the popular slots at Gamblejoe, watching livestreams and playing along in parallel. One user reported pulling in good wins on 300 Shields several times. Well, let's try it out. Started the game and made 100 spins. Nothing came. No free spins, no nothing. Bet increased to 1€ - 25 lines - Bam free spins. "Here we go" I reassured myself. The shields came and I made it to the last stage (300x). In the end a win of 373.96€ came out. 200€ in payout given and further went my quest to recover the losses. Another dry spell followed, nothing came. Again and again I paid in and my win of 300 Shields already again balanced. Low balance, hope almost given up again, I went to Great Rhino. 1€ bet and off I went. After 50 spins, came the Jackpot game. Before I could realize it, I had a Rhino full screen and the grand of 500€ found its way onto my balance. Again, I cashed out a portion and kept a portion to continue playing with. In the meantime, I had also deposited so much at Videoslots that I had to win a lot to get back to 0€. And so I played and played, got lucky again on 300 Shields and won another 381.36€, this time on 50Cent - 25 lines. Thunderstruck II paid around 200€, as did Ramses Book with 200€. Considering what I deposited, just pocket money. Next up was Jackpot Jester Wild Nudge. With a lot of luck I was able to win around 600€ in the Super Meter. All in all, some slots went quite well, some really badly, but I was able to make a win overall. Enough to cover the deposits at Videoslots and the credit card payments at Slotsmillion. 170€ loss was now left. At this point it could have been over, I actually managed to win enough to get back a large part of my bets. But no, it shouldn't stop there.

Since I had set a deposit limit at Videoslots in the meantime, I had to change casinos. So I went to LVBet. There I also deposited another 200 euros, had a lot of bad luck but also a lot of luck. I had taken a Deposit bonus and dared to Mystery Joker 6000. I now no longer know what bet I had played, but actually, in Super Meter mode caught two jokers and Zack!, directly on the 6000. I could hardly believe it. The bonus was not yet converted, but with the higher balance also higher stakes followed. It continued with Roman Legion, free spins went badly and then suddenly a quintuplet (from some premium symbol, don't remember which), which gave me 200 euros. After that the slot was dead. Since the Gamomat games seemed to be going well, I went through the whole portfolio. I don't know what was going on, but for that time slot, I apparently had the Gamomat blessing and was able to win big on almost all slots. Fruit Mania brought quintillion grapes + 4x win grapes. Fancy Fruits brought a few nice episodes. Pharaos Riches brought 4 Full lines of Pharaohs. In total I had about 900€ at this point and the bonus was almost through

This then still played through and suddenly, BAM, balance completely 0 (My account was suddenly dropped from 800eu to 0EU). Support written to, it was a technical error, please be patient, no need to worry. Apparently something happened when I fulfilled the bonus conditions. After a while though, the funds reappeared in my account and I was able to specify 650€ for withdrawal. The rest I gambled away.

In total, I spent 5 full days exclusively playing slots. I know that there are clear symptoms of Gambling addiction here and also that what I did was incredibly stupid. I am aware that the whole thing could have gone completely wrong. But it didn't, I luckily got off with a black eye. In total I deposited €1,986.00 in all 3 casinos and cashed out €2174. After all these hardships, I was able to bring in a win of 188 €. I can not be happy about it. I am super exhausted and the stress (due to financial pressure and remorse) was enormous. I hope that was a lesson for me. In all casinos I have now set my deposit limit and I strive to play only smaller stakes and just 50 € wins simply worth zuschätzen.

So that I can generate still correctly displeasure, I want to say, I draw benefits from the job center - that is, I could not even keep the wins, everything would be deducted from me monthly. A win is excluded for me from the outset.

Respect to all who have read through my story completely - I am curious about possible comments

If you win, you can't keep the money because of the job center? What's the point of gambling online then?

It's fun and generates a lot of adrenaline. The hope of a big win is still there, of course, as is being independent of the job center and then paying out the winnings.

You can become independent of the job center quite quickly, that magic word is called work

Just under 2k paid in five days and that through payments from the jobcenter? Or do I understand this wrong?

Don't get me wrong now, but just the fact that you're spending your pay from the jobcenter in Online Casinos will not be read here some gladly 😏

And about the whole course of your story: sounds like a loss of control. Give it some serious thought. Because just if you do not have money in abundance, something like that can go very quickly in the pants

I know how you feel, it was the same for me last month - however, my credit card was at some point at the limit and I got me a nice loss of 880 €. But now I have my finances back under control, this month I'm not partying every weekend until I can't anymore and I'm taking food from home for lunch. When my salary comes this month I get a nice bonus of 600€, maybe half will be invested in slots and good

And please learn something from your own story, you have had this time, but that could have backfired. Go ahead and gamble with the money you don't care about, but don't gamble with the money for rent, food and other bills. That can end very quickly really bad

I was definitely lucky and know that at the end of the month I could have been in the red with 2000€.
Part of it I spent from benefits, the bulk from my credit card (limit up to 1500€). By the way, this is the first month in which I receive a salary. Before that I was always employed or otherwise financially independent, so I do not have a guilty conscience in this regard.

What would you have done if things had gone wrong?

But if you get money from the job center how can you pay in 2 grand? Do you get that much malochlosengeld or wat?

I would have thrown myself on my back and stomped around crying. I don't know, honestly, I completely tuned out that scenario. It felt like there was no way back. Possibly pay in installments for credit and all the bills and then kind of starve through. Would have been pretty crappy in any case.


Monthly I get about 400EU to live, the rest is for rent. Through my credit card I still have 1500€ "at my disposal".
