tired of losing (page 3)

To me, it seems that you've made a great deal of progress when it comes to the responsible part of gambling. Well done, paclmaya. 🌟

Thanks

I said goodbye to 2 casinos today- Gamebookers and Dbosses. I deposited 100 euros today and I have to say it's not fun at all. Play big bass splash-unlock all mods again for a total of 6 times-and get 1 angler!

For me, once again, it is very clear that the modifications do not take place at all.

That's why I gave the games another chance, I was fooled again - thank you, that's it. I got permanently blocked - I'm not interested - I'll only go to the right casino 2-3 times a year because you have a better RTP there than online.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - since these streamers have existed, the games for the normal player have gone down the drain

Well done 👍 for having the strength to pack it in there is only one winner if you play regularly= The casinos especially online. I would not go to a slot in a bar and put €100 in at €1 a spin but because I'm at home bored mostly I get urges and as much as I think I can give up I haven't. I know this casino I playing at the moment will be my last as I'm GameStop registered 5yrs ( 3 to go) but the one I'm currently playing is a Curacao based casino I have been with them about a year and I'm about €1500 down. I have joined over 60 casinos blaming them for lowering the RTP but I know it's the providers. I'm going to gamble €100 on Friday and if I don't enjoy it and lose with no pleasure gained from playing I will be joining you. Just remember there are more than 1000!! Online casinos each in it to make a profit and pay staff to work them. I'm going to write down my thoughts when I play this time and will let you know how my brain fluctuates as I play. Try to stay away for 4/6 weeks at least to break your thoughts about gambling 🤔

By the way, how is it with casinos in Austria? Do you also see casinos applying what they have in Germany (1 spin needs to take longer than 5 seconds, 1 eur max. bet, lower RTP on slots etc.)? Does it influence you at all? I'd be afraid that they'll start copying the German jurisdiction in Austria 😕

So how did it go? Have you gambled the €100 away?

No, it's not like that in Austria - once the spin is done you can press again. But there are also other laws. For example, you're not allowed to win more than 10,000 euros per spin. But you can still play for 10 euros.

Gambling and automatic spins have been banned. After 2 hours you have to take a 15 or 30 minute break. You can only play with us if you are registered.

Registration, then you get a card that you have to insert into the machine, then you can pay money onto the card, then you can play. After 2 hours, the system says a break of 15 or 30 minutes.

It's all good, I think - only the 10,000 euro I find a rip-off. As said, you have to press each spin extra.

Example - you play Book of Ra 10 euros per push. You get a free spin with the explorer. What happens now? The free spins start when you press it, and all free spins expire automatically. Weird even though it's automatically banned. As long as you are in free spins, all free spins count as 1 pusher.

So far so good - now comes the clou for the casino operators! If you get several extensions of the free spins and suddenly have a full picture with the researcher, that would be 50,000 euros. Now the system says - you only get 10-000 euros and all other free spins are gone because the whole thing only counts as a pusher.

Respect for so much mendacity in the system-again, work is only done for operators such as Novomatic and consorts.

I quit gambling for good 100 dead spins in a row there is more than RNG at work on slots🤬

Damn, we have a similar rule in Czech Republic where the winnings are capped. It doesn't make any sense that the state doesn't allow you to win more. It's probably because winning too much would harm your personality 😀 I really like jackpot games, but they're "no go" in our countries.

I also think it's funny that there is a limit here, as if it were too greedy instead of you

Insane, how are you all ok with state controlling this much what you do with your money? And I thought my country was bad, at least we have the freedom to do whatever we want with our money 😂 if I'm not wrong germans pay taxes on each spin and don't have autospin features in the slots, I'm not complaining about my country ever again 😂😂

You're right about the rules in German. Basically, the casinos need to pay over 5% from each spin (no matter if the player wins or loses) so that's why slots for Germans have lower RTP by about 5% in average. Then they often complain about casinos, they claim they are scams, but it's usually because there were used to play with much higher RTP.

When it comes to Honduras, I've heard about a football club from Tegucigalpa. One traveller claimed they built a new stadium, because the old one had too low capacity, but when they built the new stadium, fans didn't want to go there, because they were too afraid of going to the location where the new stadium was built. I also remember I saw some recent statistics and Honduras was no. 1 in murders rate per 100 000 inhabitants. Are you sure you don't want to complain about your country? I wouldn't be too surprised 😀 Anyway, I remember Honduras that played on the World Cup including all the 3 Palacios brothers 😀

I don't have a problem if players are restricted to only using one machine and not playing 5 machines at the same time like they used to. I also think it's good if players have to take a break after a game. But for me everything else is cheating on the player, like we do in Austria

Yes, there was a time when we were the most violent country on the entire planet 😂 we have dropped a bit on the rankings lately, but still really violent. And yes, people don't like attending stadiums because in every match there is violence (shootings, stabbings) in the crowd that usually lead to deaths. I'm pretty used to all of this, so I don't complain much lately, it's normal 😂 I mean, at least there is little to no control of what civilians do or not here which I consider a good thing, pretty much a double edged sword, it comes with many horrid things but that's the price of freedom I guess 😂

Pretty much, the winnings capped at 10k is a theft, if you can still spin at 10 euros, you can get a big hit over 10k, ridiculous, so it doesn't make much sense to play with a stake higher than 2 or 5 euros. I will suppose that's what the restriction tries to achieve: people using smaller stakes.

I mean, there's nothing wrong when the government tries to protect players against developing a gambling addiction, but in some countries the restrictions are so bad and illogical that players try to play elsewhere. They often go to unlicensed and dangerous casinos and I guess that's not the government's goal. They should create a safe space for players who want to have fun and make their life easier, not the opposite.

Wow! Stabbings and shootings on the stadium. I can't imagine it. I always wanted to visit the central America - I dreamed about Belize since I was 11, but I was always too scared 😀

I also had a colleague who came from Costa Rica and they also moved out because of the security sitution.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. If I say I can only win 10,000 euros per spin, then I have to do everything to ensure that the player can no longer win - in the case of book of ra, the maximum bet would then be 2 euros!

Why do you require the player to press one at a time, but not all the free spins - there is a single press and all the free spins count as 1 spin!

Trust me, I have been in every Central American country except for Nicaragua and I can tell you there is no good reason to visit any of our countries 😂 Costa Rica while still dangerous, it's like 100 times safer than Honduras or Guatemala, I think the only decent option to visit could be Panama, felt pretty safe there. The good thing of being born here is the low cost of life, also we can gamble wherever we want, at least I can register in nearly every casino imaginable with a few exceptions, online gambling isn't a popular thing here (thankfully), people prefer the national lottery, which is just as bad, still better than paying a ridiculous and abusive 5% tax on every spin tho, I don't even know why would someone gamble with such conditions, gambling is already a guaranteed loss and that makes it worse

But you can avoid these regulations by playing in any unregulated casino right? There are some that allow VPN or IP masking, have you ever managed to avoid these restrictions?
