Hi guys. I’m on my third gamstop now. I started slots when someone talked about how good they were when I was playing poker. I was always in control of poker and I really enjoyed it, but because of gamstop, the poker sites wouldn’t let me back. So I carried on with slots, winning and losing, persuading myself it was about even and I’d win it back eventually. I only play one slot, and I’ve always been vocal about not trusting the site in chat and started to feel like I was being targeted, as whenever I’d top up, wins would hit, or if I missed a bet, a big win came. Yesterday, after two months back and about £5k down, a bet was rejected and 2700x hit. I couldn’t believe what had happened, it would have saved me. It felt like it was too implausible to be a coincidence as I’d been playing for 6 hours and no issues. I realised that it was intentional, two days before I topped up and 420x hit, after being -1300x for the day. I had enough and I’ve quit while I’m down again. I felt devastated, I was shaking and I felt physically sick. I couldn’t believe it was so corrupt. I need to Channel that anger now and never go back. The only way I can beat them and win is if I never go back. I kept thinking ‘if I could go back in time and just play on two accounts for that hit and my bet wouldn’t be rejected on both’ but actually( if I could go back I’d never have gambled in the first place and I would be in such a good position.Â
Hi Larry.
Â
Yes you have said it in your post - the only way to win is to not gamble! Get yourself straight back with Gamstop. These horrible dodgy overseas sites in particular, are just praying on people like us. Â I am now 300 days g.f and every day, I get at least 5 text McGee from those sites. Â I just tell them where to go and delete them as quick as they arrive!
Wishing you all the best on your journey.
Pink Lady 🩷🍎.
Good Luck Larry!Â
Stay here and off those sites. Definitely rigged in one way or another but even if they are not rigged they still win because our gambling nature doesn't know when to stop. The amount of times I've turned £100 into £2000 to end up double betting each time until a loss is now £2000 in one go. Then I sit there thinking well I only really lost £100. No dazza you d******d you lost £2000!Â
Good luck on your journey my friend hope you keep at it.Â
