Had gone for a long while without gambling feeling strong, then the post arrived recently with a scratchcard from an online company, scratched iy off, to reveal 25 free play. Gave in and went on. Boom, boom, boom followed. Major win, up to 8000, after a few days, tried to withdraw, strangely the server failed, tried again the next day, yes more server issues, third day thought id play a little, win win, then you know the rest lost the lot, feeling down and gutted, looking for inspiration. Why did i not take thr money and help to clear some debts????? Argh. Trying to resist pumping my own cash in now
Thanks for the kind words, im trying to look on this as the ultimate loss, even though it was all technically free, i have endures this problem and am still in debts from gambling, instead of using this wisely, i kep going and going, showing a gambler can never win, as what is enough to satisfy us?
Those free bets are designed to do exactly that.... I bet the terms and conditions state you can't withdraw without depositing and playing through anyway??
You have had a lucky escape if you stop now in my eyes!
The only win you will have from now on is probably never to deposit into that site again?
Keep strong and resist... You know it makes sense... I'v been there many a time... It's a slippery slope
Yes there most likely would be some % of play through you would have to complete before withdrawing, probably thousands. Funny how so many people seem to win at the 'free play'. Rigged to the hilt same as those FOTB's
Affected by gambling?
