Hello everyone,

I started playing slots on a poker site a few weeks ago. I never had a problem with slots before, but now its starting to become a problem for me. I’ve lost all my winnings (5K) and my deposits (1.5k). I have however, transferred the remaining money I have to my brother to hold onto. I felt very down after this, and like a degenerate idiot, but could not withdrawal at the time, because they needed extra documentation, which I was in the process of getting….

The issue I have is that I enjoy playing poker on these sites (and I’m quite skilled at it- not pro but you know what I mean). I managed to permanently ban myself from the casino games on one poker site, but its not possible to do so on the other (unfortunately, I like to play at this site more). So, I’m not sure what I should do. I’ve never had a problem with poker and want to keep playing, but don’t want to lose all my winnings on slots after a good run. Any recommendations or tips would be great.

Thank you!

Hi over there,

Well if you think youll lose it all on slots, there’s your answer – don’t do it. Install gamban to your devices! You won’t regret it.

Good luck

Hi,

I believe all gambling eventually leads to addiction but if you still want to pursue poker I would advise staying away from poker for at least 6 months, then see if you still have the urge to play slots. If it’s still there staying away from all forma of gambling would probably be best.
