Bitcoin Forum

I made a mistake of getting paid for signature campaign in gambling platform accounts.
When I got my payment, I thought I would slowly increase the amount by about 5-10% before I initiate a withdrawal. But I quickly lost control of my emotions and ended up blowing the entire balance of my account. This happened more than once, it happened about 5 times as I received money from different sources.
It’s important for me to tell this story so that others don’t make the same mistake I did. This has been a huge life lesson in managing money and emotional self-discipline .

Wow, so you mean to tell me that you submitted your gambling wallet address to your campaign manager when he requested your payment address? Sorry to say this but that wasn’t a wise decision.

The reason why we always calculate how much we are going to put in our gambling account is to make sure we don’t over spend and trust me if you have up to a million dollars in your gambling account you won’t be aware of when you’ll finish everything and that’s why you see people come to the forum and give stories of how they spent over ten thousand dollars in a week on their gambling account and for you to have been receiving your payment in your account seems like a dumb mistake IMO.

I’d suggest you change your wallet address to your non-custodial wallet address and after receiving each payment you can then be depositing bit by bit into your account rather than just putting everything at once. But if your main purpose of participating in a signature campaign is to fund your gambling account then no issue with that.

Yes, it was a stupid mistake and I thought I would withdraw it after I received it in my gambling account but it was out of my control due to greed and recovering the initial small payment I received.
Because of that small amount I lost more than this many times.
I’m sharing this because a lot of smart people also act like stupid sometimes.
It’s easy to say but it’s hard to follow through every time.

Having a balance in a gambling account is tempting to use for gambling. But if you can control yourself, you don't have to worry about spending all the money in one day. And you have to start learning to limit yourself so you don't lose control of your emotions.

You can withdraw all the money from the payment to another wallet so you won't be able to use the money to gamble. But it all depends on you because many are tempted to use it for gambling. They want to increase their balance by gambling but in reality, they lose all their money several times.

@OP, you have to learn to control yourself and for the next payment, you have to withdraw your payment money. Don't even think about increasing the amount of money by gambling.

So you're want to make profit because the casino is using $ equivalent, let's say Bitcoin price increase for 5-10%, you're forget if centralized site charge additional fee when you want to withdraw your coins. It needs more than 5-10% to make a profit and that's not easy.

I'm speechless with your decision, if you want to make small profit, I'd say using exchange is better.

I get paid for almost two years now every week from a gambling platform for my signature campaign and I must admit sometimes everyone makes mistakes including experienced gamblers like me but most of the times it does not mean  anything,I play about 10 dollars for fun and then withdraw the signature.The longer you keep the money in the platform the higher the temptation it will be so next time do the opposite,withdraw 90-95% of the amount first and only play with 5-10% of the remaining funds and whatever happens you will not be mad at yourself.

The gambling platforms are the ones who pays the most in signature campaigns so you have to train yourself to do the above and there will be no more problems.

I was thinking this was some sort of signature payment from a casino project that you are promoting, which made their payment directly into your gambling account. Not until I read the comment from the first commenter did I understand where all this is coming from.
 
I think that's not a wise idea to use a betting platform wallet as your receiving address for signature payment. Let's take the uncontrolled means of gambling aside first; it's too risky. This payment is like your salary, and you receiving it into a casino means you are putting it at risk. And what if you use a casino that you can't just make a deposit and withdraw immediately without meeting the wagering requirements that are set in order to reduce the use of the casino for money laundering activities? What do you think will be the faith of the money? You have to wager your payment and might end up losing all of it just by trying to clean up those funds.
 
And another thing is that you are using a means that doesn't give you total control over funds, as you might not be able to use your bitcoin when you want to use it sometimes. Maybe the casino has some technical issue that can delay withdrawal, or any of such, and what if the casino gets hacked or there is any other activity? Well, I am glad you have realised your own mistake and made a redirection towards such a choice again in the future.

Would it really make a significant difference if you used your personal wallet to receive payments from signature campaigns? I may be the only one to say this but I doubt things would have changed. I'm only making this assumption based on your gambling impulse as you shared in the OP. It wouldn't take that long to fund your casino wallet if you felt the urge to play so you'll bet them regardless. Nothing wrong with using gambling accounts except maybe the added fees you'll pay when withdrawing.

Casinos are well aware of this, which is why many of them pay you into your casino account. I'm sure that quite a few people lose the money in the casino that he gets paid from the signature campaign the same day of the payment, and sometimes more. I'd like to know statistics, which I'm sure no one will reveal, but it must be something like: you have 20 participants in signature campaigns. Of them 5 don't bet anything, about 10 bet part of what they eran in the signature campaign but withdraw part, and another 5 are degenerate gamblers who actually fund the signature campaign with their losses.

Self-discipline is very important. This has not happened to me before. The only money that I was paid and gambled with are the free spin bonuses. After receiving the free spin and I spin and earn some money, I then gamble with the money earned at times. If I win I will withdraw my money and the winnings all at once. But as for my normal money, I can not try to gamble with it. I have self discipline after I overcome gambling addiction two years ago.

That is a very bad step to take by submitting you casino wallets to a signature campaign payments because that will become a stool hold on your funds since you must wager at least 1x in most casinos before being able to withdraw and with you current conditions it then means that you have to wager all your weekly payment almost every week and that put you in a higher risk position,  also you may be prompt to be more concern if you discover that you are losing too much money by that decision to use your casino wallets for your weekly basis payment.

Even with my current signature that pays me into a stake account directly,  I still have a percentage set on the amount of balance I leave on the casino at each time and that is all aimed at controlling my gambling activities

Money management is very important here. You must also being so dicipline to control your emotion. You shall try to make sure spend a few percents for that. Try to withdraw it first before you are willing to use your money for the gambling purpose.
I never encountered this kind of problem caused by i were regularly putting ....% to be used for the gambling and try to withdraw the rest. Submitting casino wallet to the signature campaign is not that but this case is pure human error.
Why don't you ask your manager to change your address into the your private address? It will also help you so much in controlling your greed caused by you can have control over your mind.
Im thinking about if this is the best way you can do that.

We at Stake signature campaign can withdraw our payout on our Stake account, you can only play on it or you can withdraw it right away you need to be disciple enough and its a challenge for you to withdraw it, if you think you don't have control don't use a gambling platform address especially if you're active in sports betting and there's sports that you are tempted to bet.

But this is also a good test for you if you can control your urge to gamble knowing you have money coming from your signature earnings but if keeps failing better change the address or you will become a compulsive gamblers trying to recover your losses.

I thought there was a twist to the story from your topic, like maybe a payment was made wrongly into a gambling account and you want to report it but reading the body of your post, the contrary is the case. It is a deliberate act that you submitted your gambling account address to be paid on your signature campaign, so how is there a mistake?

You have submitted your gambling address to be paid on it so that it would be easier for you to have a bankroll to wager from  ;D

Seriously, you don't tempt a dog by leaving a bone for it, when you don't want to eat a meat then you don't need to use your teeth as a knife to cut it. In other words, you have been tempting yourself with your weekly pay to double it but unfortunately you are at the other side being battered and brushed by your no luck.


Some others can wager from their signature campaign payment and win. It is just that way, so the solution if you want that to stop is to pm your campaign manager or write on your campaign thread that you desire to change your wallet address and follow the process.

Except payment must be sent to your gambling account if that is the pattern of payment otherwise, you can change it.

Why not use a non-custodial wallet to receive payments from signature campaigns? I think most people use that wallet.

Maybe what you mean is that after receiving payment from the signature campaign, say $40 and want to increase profits by around 5-10%, meaning from $40 initial capital you want to $55 after that you will withdraw it? I don't think gambling can be said to be like that, in fact it is the ones who lose more, the intention is to increase slowly rather than losing everything in a few times.

You need to learn from this mistake and exercise good discipline, at least I myself have never used a gambling wallet to receive campaign payments.

Your idea of getting paid on gambking account is not a bad idea if you are real gambler since you are just receiving onnce a week payment while you can save transfer fee since it’s already on your account but this is disaster if you are not a regular gambler at all since you can easily lose all the money because your will think that it’s just from signature campaign payment. Your deposit balance is also subjected to wagering requirements of the casino since it’s deposit from campaign manager wallet. This is terrible since you will need to wager whenever you receive payment as mandatory to withdraw your balance with or without profit.

It is good to know that you learned your lesson well.  I bet you will avoid this kind of activity and withdraw your sig payment as soon as it arrives in your wallet in the casino.   It is indeed not wise to gamble what you can't afford to lose, since this will lead you to stress and frustration and oftentimes blaming oneself because of the unwise decision.

I also do this kind of thing but I never regret my decision because I already accepted that my bankroll is already lost as soon as I start my gambling session.  I consider it to be very lucky when my session ends up with a win.

I also don't think it is bad to do such an action as long as we implement self-control and stop the moment the scenario meets our limit in losses.

Testing yourself limit on self-control is a terrible way in the presence of gambling because gambling games is designed to be addictive so you have a high chance to failed your test on an addictive game. It’s same when you are a drug addict and testing yourself to control not taking drugs in a room that you are alone.  :D

Use only gambling as a leisure activity and don’t give to much importance on it especially to control it because you will never do that the more you think about it.


This is good point. The money deposit in there already subject to wager requirements that will force OP to play even if he reach his target profit earlier.

Not your keys, not your coins. It reminds me when people participated in ICOs with the wallet addresses from exchanges... bad move.

Contact your manager asap to change the address (it is not always allowed but your case might be an exception). If you are concerned about fees, send them low priority, but these sats you are saving the way you are doing it will cost you a lot in retrospective.

I hope this will be a lesson for yourself in the future so that it is better to withdraw money from the casino if you join the signature campaign and get paid through their site, because then you will start trying your luck there playing a little and ending up spending all the money you should have use it for your living needs and in the end you have to give the money back to the casino.

I also get paid at the casino but I withdraw the money from my work then I only leave a little in my account to just play and have fun, don't care about multiplying the money and winning, after all we have to remember that the dealer will always win, so understand that and don't expect us to win big even though we can get that chance to win. In essence, all of your experiences will also be a lesson for other signature campaign participants to be able to control their emotions and desire to gamble using their salary from the campaign.

It's too risky to keep a certain amount of money on a gambling platform and as many people on this forum have said, it does increase the desire to gamble. And to address this problem you must stick to your original purpose of joining a campaign, of course the reason most people join a campaign is so that they can have an income to answer an existing need. Indeed, between needs and desires, both of which we must fulfill but still needs are a top priority and must have a fixed budget every day, week or month. So the thing you have to do is to prioritize your needs by withdrawing the balance on the platform and then after all your needs are met then you can fulfill your desire to play gambling.

If you are complaining is because you lose the money, but what if you double up the money with the right luck? I have done that in the past, Taking the signature payment to the casino and trying to multiply it is something that a lot of users do.

And personally, i have been lucky with this kind of move, i have won more than what i have lost doing this. But as you say, this is not a recommended move to do, people should take the money and walk away with it without risking it because they work hard for it.

I think it’s greed that can make anyone lose money, your act was an attempt to grew those payments while gambling but you forgot that what you were doing isn’t investing but gambling and the chance of losing is way more than earning especially in long term. I never saw or thought before there’s people who set the payment address for signature campaigns or any paid job on a casino.
Not just you are at risk of losing while gambling but they say that any deposit to a casino considered as losing part in owning that money, beside that you will need to wager that amount you receive to your account at least x1 time before requesting a withdrawal which means you are always at risk. So better to ask your CM ASAP to change your payment address if it’s possible.

For some reason is to show support to the signature campaign you joined. Like what I did before, the bitcoin address I used for the payment is the bitcoin address from the platform signature campaign I joined even it is not required to.

OP story also happened to me many times. I also discussed this same story on my l0cal board section before.

The problem will only arise if the gambler itself has no control over the urge in gambling. Because of the intention to increase the amount in the account, what happened is the opposite. Instead of adding profits, you are losing those money all of a sudden. That’s why for gamblers who have no discipline over their funds, then always avoid storing your funds in your gambling account. Although it’s a mistake did by OP, but if he only know how to save more than to spend more, he will never end up losing them everything.

This is a very big mistake you have made. But why did you submit such an address to get paid from the signature campaign when you know that if you have money in the account, you will use it to gamble? That is wrong, mate. I will advise you to change the wallet so that when you receive the payment, you can use a little bit of the money to deposit in your gambling account. I think that will be better since you can't control your emotions if you see money there; you must gamble.

However, this is one of the reasons why someone should stop living with money in his or her gambling account for a long time because the emotion will still be there, and you will be using the money, small and small, and gambling with it because of emotion. Once you log in and see that there is money inside, you will like to gamble, and before you know it, the money will be finished.


It’s very important that you let other people know about what you have experienced so that if others are doing the same, they may find a solution to it. I believe different opinions will be brought up in this thread, which will help. But that will be for people who do the same thing or have the same feelings about how they treat gambling. The fact that they may get other users who also submit their gambling address, but they are not using their signature payment for gambling completely; they only received payment with the account, and they move the money to another account, is a wise decision, so if you also follow that step, it will help you.

I am really curious about what was running through your mind when you decided to do this, especially the part when you thought you would slowly increase the amount by about 5-10% before withdrawing. I am sure you must have realized at some point that depositing funds on a gambling site would most likely result in your fund being subjected to a wagering requirement that gambling usually implements to battle money laundering.

also, wouldn't this put your gambling account at risk of multi-accounting by possibly becoming connected through crypto transactions? I am saying this because I remember reading(forgot what thread it was) that gambling sites use crypto transactions to check if an account on the same site is connected to one another.

When you withdraw your momey that casino platform cut a specific amount of transcation fee that's why you get 5-10% less amount when you withdraw. If you are interested in taking your signature payment on gambling site it is your personal matter I myself get signature payment on gambling site but it is not a problem for me.  If you find it a problem then you can take leave from the signature no one will pressure you to continue the signature.

You made two mistakes here op. First one is the crucial one which is storing your hard earned funds in gambling sites which is never advisable since any of these sites can shut shop and run at any time(Eg: Betnomi etc).

Second one is chasing losses which is a classic mistake. Gamble only what you are willing to lose.

I do not see this as a mistake. Of course you are a gambler and hence you took part in a gambling signature campaign and also opted to get your payment directly in gambling site. This would have help you as otherwise you would have send money to gambling site yourself to gamble and hence incur the transaction fee.
Once you are gambling with your money, you already know that it is a risk. You can either make or break it. If you double your money by now, you would never have regretted.

Yes, if you are not a gambler, and you took risk when you do not know what you were doing, then it is a wrong decision on your side. Also since this happen more than once, means you do not get any lessons from your mistakes and repeat the same thing again and again.

That's why some casinos send campaign payments to your casino wallet by default, because they know some people won't be able to control themselves and some of that campaign money will eventually come back to them. If you ask if that's bad, the answer is not really, it's smart and you as a gambler shouldn't worry about it.
Treat your campaign money like free money to gamble with. You must have a job, so that money should be like a side job to you. Don't get attached to them. Would you rather lose the money you earn at work?

OP, this is not wise because there is a high probability that you will use part of the money for gambling=g if not all. Some casinos will like you to wager before you can withdraw any funds that is been deposited in their casino, which makes it compulsory for you to loss part of your signature pay. Another thing is that you might end up not cashing out until you have exhausted your funds because gambling is tempting when you don't have self-control over it, you must fall for it by keep on gambling till you will have no funds left. Your action shows that you are a core gambler and don't care if you use all your signature pay to gamble, that was why you used your gambling wallet to receive funds from your signature campaign. I hope that you have learnt your lesson, and you will create a noncustodial wallet that you will be using to het you pay, it is not also advisable to leave your funds in a centralized platform.

You don't have an exact figure but given your current forum rank, I assume that you're not losing a lot from that mistake but nonetheless, you're going to need to change that habit of yours because money wasted would still be money wasted but don't dwell too much on that mistake OP, you've learned already so it's best if you finally move forward and don't ever do that option of getting paid again.

There are campaigns in the forum where the manager sends their payment to the casino account actually. Many of those users are likely using their weekly pay to gamble too. Well, it's that easy to gamble especially when they see games they use to play or sports matches that they think an easy win. Casinos also want the pay to be sent to their account address so they will be playing. It's for that purpose also, clever and they keep the BTC circulating in the casino.

There are sob stories but there are also success stories. It all just depends on how you can resist and manage the funds you have.

You are in the forum for quite some time now and I wonder how you made such a mistake.
It's sad to know it took you 5 times to understand your mistake. You should have learnt it at most 2 times blowing up your account.
But I am glad you at least acknowledged it now. Change your campaign address to a self custodial wallet and set up a strict budget for gambling.

If you got paid mistakenly, what is the first step you took, did you reported that to the gambling team or the signature campaign manager you work for, also sometimes we made mistakes from our own self, will it be good for us to have same e of what we did to others, it may also be that such isn't a mistake as you've thought, they may only rewarded you for an eligible bonus you qualify for, but I doubt having this same occure repeatedly.

Where did he say that he was paid mistakenly ?  He said that he was paid in weekly pay in gambling platform.

However my question was did he had a choice to either get this signature campaign income in his personal wallet or gambling site ?  I don't think that we get this choices to decide. For example, i am in stake signature campaign, and i get paid directly at the stake platform and i am happy for that. I know what i have to gamble and what i have to withdraw. People should have control over their actions and not regret if they lose their signature campaign earnings in gambling. Also there are no wagering requirements to withdraw.

Only Humans make mistakes but some mistakes lead to major disasters. In Gambling Many of us make mistakes in many ways but if we are aware before making mistakes, we can cure those mistakes to a large extent. I was depositing my money in a gambling account at one time though it was temporary. I made a decision to keep the money in the platform till a certain amount but once a moment all my planning came to an end. After losing a bet I lost some amount but I was pursue to recover that amount and subsequently lost all my money. There is no basis for emotion in this area. Although this incident was long ago. However, there is nothing to lose if you learn from your mistakes and aware for the future.

From what I could understand, you didn't have self control over your money, but that wasn't your only problem, the fact that you couldn't play with only money that you could afford to lose was the most problematic part, now if you don't You had no intention of using the money from campaign payments for other things and you were just saving it and it was money you didn't need, so taking it to play might not be a problem as long as you could tell yourself that you can stop whenever you want, you can play with low stakes. So that would be having self control

but if you played thinking about profits, but lost, you started playing again thinking about profits and losses, then you have problems with games and the solution right now would be to stop playing for many months, even if you tell yourself that there is no need to stop for many months because you are already good and in self-control, but the truth is that you can easily have thoughts of playing with the intention of making profits and this time it may take longer to stop, as long as you are exposed to gambling and continue playing, then the The chances of you playing again with money you can't afford to lose will be high.

the addiction starts like this, at first the person thinks it was a mistake, and that it is enough to stop playing for a few days and then start playing again but controlling themselves, then everything is resolved, but things are not that simple, what has happened is that the person loses control, then goes back to playing thinking that just playing in moderation will not have a problem, but the person is going back to playing with the goal of making a profit, that is the problem, every time he loses money, he will put in more money and lost. op are you still playing or have you stopped playing?

I stick on the weekly budget on that. But you really can't plan increasin the amount as that's not really up to you if it increases or not. It's about luck and you don't plan on luck. And trusting you would have luck is just, well, pointless. If you want to spend money, rather make a rule on how much can lose, instead of planning how much you need to win before quitting.

The mistake you made was to send your funds to a casino. And you can not predict your wins so believing that you can increase the amount is another blunder. Gambling is unpredictable so you can not forecast your profit margin. It will be better to send only money you want to use for gambling in the casino. So the ideal thing to do is to fund your gambling account periodically based on your budget and when you lose all overtime,  you shouldn't put in more funds from other sources. You have to take necessary precautions before it becomes a normal event. And the first start should be to change your campaign wallet address.

You are trying to exchange guaranteed income for a high risk gamble that is mathematically engineered against you. By all means spend your hard earned money on whatever you like, but it seems a bit silly to receive this money from these companies and hand it right back to them by playing their games. It sounds like you've got a habit forming and are losing control of your spending. I'd suggest finding another hobby or place to reserve your money, but only you have the willpower to change that. People who walk this path can often only break free when they hit rock bottom, so you need to snap yourself out of it early on. You've lost money five times, you should be learning your lesson by now and just accept the money before it is completely gone, instead of chasing it.

I've never had any problems with being paid to my casino accounts in signature campaigns, although I prefer to get money to my wallet because I don't have to pay any fees when transferring funds. Obviously, I sometimes may not want to play on the casino I advertise because there's a game or a match I want to bet on that's unavailable there. This is especially common when you promote a dice site and you rarely play dice.

We learn from our mistakes and you did just that, OP. If that's something you don't want to do, don't do it. I don't need others to warn me because I know what I'm doing, but good luck to you.

It's a normal phenomena for every human to actually want more despite having little at their expense because we always feel we can grow our balance without even thinking about the downside of what happens when we actually lost that money to gambling in the platform. Resisting such feelings is not actually very hard but after a lesson learnt like this one of yours one can adjust so as to avoid such errors again.

This 5-10% made me regret so many times! It was just like that, just a bit more and that's it... and it's not like it's not working, for a day or two, maybe a week and then it comes like a rocket when I get carried away and I just bust everything in minutes, literally! Doesn't matter if it's from a campaign, or if I deposited with the intention to go slow and steady, sooner or later I get in some "deep waters, and I get drowned".

And there's also a moment when I have a good run, but I decide to try slots... those slots can be so deceiving! I love to play them, but they can be so bad sometimes...

All in all, it's gambling. It's interesting to try different strategies and games, we would like to make some profit, but it's not as easy as it seems. Sooner or later we all figure that out. ;)

You should have tried the martingale system on roulette

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_(betting_system)

I have experienced on recieving out my signature pay on a gambling account wayback before (forgot the name) but i dont really have any problems on pulling out those funds if you do really have that kind of control

towards yourself. You wont really be finding any issues despite of such condition if you do really have that kind of control, the only issue on here is that you dont have such control because you do really gamble out those balances on the time that you would be receiving it. It not really that so hard on pressing that withdraw button i should say, it is really just turning out that you do really have those gamblign intents on the first place. If you cant really just make out that withdrawal then you could really just ask out for some request that you do recieve your coins or sigpay on your own personal address.

Lucky if they would really be that granting out such requestion but if not then there's nothing you can do.So it would boils down into your decisions that would be making
if you do continue to have this kind of behavior then you wont really be saving up those campaign pay on every week. So the issue is really just within in you.

I highly agree, if we cannot afford to lose the money, we must not gamble it no matter how much tempting it is.  We must always act responsibly and restrict ourselves from using a fund that is not free for gambling purposes.  Remember even entertainment like watching movies, picnics, and others need us to plan and prepare money for such activities.  So better not to do things on impulse because we will regret it just like the story stated by @OP.

Yes, you really made a big mistake because getting your signature campaign payments on a gambling platform deposit address is the something that will make you lose the money overnight. Gambling is an addictive thing and when someone delves into the game of gambling in hopes that he/she will make huge profits then that person isn't really aware of losses that are part of gambling.

When we gamble we lose control over our emotions and that's one of the reason for us to lose everything that we have in our account. It's really hard to earn something in gambling if luck is not in our favor and when we lose a lot then that shows that luck isn't favoring us. You have at least learned a valuable lesson from your losses and surely you won't repeat the same mistakes again.

Temptation would really be the biggest challenge or culprit if we do talk about being that interested on playing on the time that your gambling account replenish its balance due to campaign pay.
Your mind and thoughts would be telling you that you could really be able to play since you do already have that money for you to do so. So self control would really be that relevant or really that crucial on this kind or particular time.If you dont like for your campaign pay to be wasted then it would really be just that depending on you because we do have our own will whether we would really be that
tolerating on what we do have in mind or simply avoid it because we do already know on how it would really be ending up. We arent that dumb on not to be able to picture out on things
what are really that supposed to happen.

No, that's wrong to assume bro.. haven't you seen casinos in here that make weekly payments to Thier employee's casino wallet?? (On the same casino?)?... I think that was the case here.

---

You made a very big mistake to have let that happen OP... If you really wanted to gather up them funds for HODLing purposes, then it should be outta whatever wallet it was deposited before sunrise (maybe before you begin thinking of wagering some part of it). There's a tendency that this keeps persisting, unless you learn to stay put.

I see very little benefit to pass a gambling account unless you are using an auto-gambling service for ... let's call it "tax purposes". So, at least now you have learnt the lesson and also contributed to others learning about it, which is actually and undoubtedly a very helpful thing.  Now, time to go back to the good practices and simply do something that takes so little and is so easy as opening an account. You may find tutorials all over the forum  ;D

Funny enough there are some signature campaigns especially the gambling ones that pay signature rewards directly to participants gambling account and there haven't been any course for alarm.
Using your gambling account to receive your signature reward isn't the reason for you blowing up your account but you did blew the account because you couldn't control your emotions and you ought to learn how to do so if you truly want to succeed in gambling.
But I also agree with op that it is not wise to make your gambling account an account for payments because nothing is guaranteed in gambling, not even your account.

Wow, that's so greedy of you! Hahaha, not just once you did that; are you sure that would be the last one? because it only shows that you can't control your greed. I think you better stay away from casinos and save up your money from doing signature campaigns. I know I don't have the right to say this to you, but if you still continue to do that thing, you are wasting your money and opportunity to invest in much more sure profit. Try trading or investing in crypto, which has a higher chance of multiplying your earnings from your signature campaign. So be wise next time and do things carefully before your greed consumes you again.

Greed makes up gambling and he only observed his mistakes and wanted others not to be like him. So, he isn't handling his earnings that way. anymore. I've done that in the past and nothing was wrong about it. I still have some funds left on the casino. Which, I'd play anytime I feel to gamble them. As a gambler we'll always stay tempted to wager our funding. Especially, when deeply into the game. At some point, a gambler can hardly control his greed, according to the outcome of their games. That's why it'll be important to remind OP that his moves to stop are great, but if still occurring, he should always take off his funds immediately before beginning gamble for the day.  This shows, how people can easily get used to doing something, even if it affects them financially. It can happen to anybody. Depending on how interesting or happy gambling makes them. If it's much fun, the person may not think of stopping. But, in cases where the person finishes every fund, they would be sad thinking about what made them happy. Casinos have means of keeping people, by giving them calculated wins. They know if you keep losing without winning, you'd stop. If sometimes you win, the glee of playing more activates in the player's rountine and it could affect the allocated funds in the account.

Not that greedy since his target profit is just small and this will save fee if he always use his signature campaigns earnings to gamble. What OP didn’t calculate is the requirements before he can withdraw his earnings. The more he saves in there from signature campaign, the more wagering requirements stacking on his balance that makes his money locked and exposed to sure risk.

I don’t agree that investment or day trading is sure profit. There’s no sure profit in the world since you will need to risk just to earn no matter what’s the investment even staking stablecoins.

First , it wasn't a mistake because to deliberately  put that deposit address for this same reason that you wanna gamble the funds.

Second why need to wait for that many times of committing mistakes before you finally realized ?
but it is great that you finally realized now and will never do the same mistakes again.

That's called "greed". It is human nature. We always want it bigger, faster, more expensive, prettier, more more more more. Consider yourself lucky because you do this with your sig camp earnings. There are millions of people that do the same thing with their pay checks. Imagine how miserable these poor guys are. They are slaves since they are working for a pay check and they lose what they little earn to the casinos. Basically they are in a worse position than a slave. You need to learn to control your emotions. If you cannot do it yourself, you should seek professional help. It is not rocket science though, just take your money and run. Simple.

Learn from your mistake; that's all I can say.

Some gambling campaigns credit payments directly to their platform, making it easier and safer for them. They don't need to send funds to the campaign manager, which is safer on their side. However, forget about the process; the main problem is your lack of discipline. You seem too optimistic that you can grow your money by a certain percentage, thinking that you can withdraw afterwards. That's quite unrealistic, as it seems like you don't understand the risks of gambling at all.

But, as I said, learn from your mistake.

OP you used your gambling platform account address in the signature campaign. From my point of view you have done a very stupid thing. Because every time you deposit your signature money on the gambling platform, it appears that you have a lot of money deposited there. If you can't access your account later, your money will be completely lost. I have seen many such cases where people use addresses from different gambling platforms because of low fees. I will never give acceptance to this process because the gambling platform is completely controlled by a third party. Why should you deposit your money in their account? That's why every person should use non custodial wallet. Non Custodial Wallet is a wallet fully controlled by you. There is no possibility of cheating from here. So since you made a mistake and figured it out on your own, you open a noncustodial wallet and take the address from there and post your signature. You can be very worry free.

There are too many people out there that are thinking that gambling are some kind of miracle system that generate easy profits. The majority of people lose money in a casino and those that do win, lose most of that money again.. because they continue gambling.

My advice will be not to link your casino deposit address to any signature campaign... not just because you will be tempted to gamble with it, but rather because that address cannot be signed by yourself, if the signature campaign manager requires it. (Not your private key... not your coins)  :P

That's a bad practice mate, some people are able to control themselves from gambling because they closed all the temptations that could make them do stupid things, emotions are very hard to control, you must not give it a chance, this is one way to stay ahead.

Using credit cards for gambling will drive your emotions, you could think of gambling on debt maybe you will win and before you know what you've gotten yourself into, it's already too late.

It's a bad practice to also deposit money that's not meant for gambling into your online casino profile, you will be easily moved by your emotion to try your luck,  in this case your money is better in your crypto wallet.

Give no room for gambling to take over your mind, say no to credit card, say no to big deposits into online casinos, some campaigns pay participants directly into their platform account, this is a different case and even if this is it, I would immediately move my balance out of the casino, before my mind think about something stupid.

It depends on the platform requirements, I remember a campaign that paid into the casino account and could be withdrawn without conditions. Ofcourse, spending that money into their own platform is the ultimate hope. But, these kinds of payments are not bad at all as long as you have a plan with them and keep them consistent, essentially it is the user's responsibility (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5449033.0) regardless of the source of the money.

I know about casinos that allow campaign participants to withdraw without any wager requirement,  even my current campaign does the same I can withdraw all my balance when am paid for the week,  but the situation won't be the same for someone who is in another campaign such as ops own situation where he had to submit his casino wallet address to campaign manager for the weekly payment to be paid into his gambling account,  in this situation,  the casino is seeing the deposits as a normal gambler deposit and it will be subject to 1x wagering requirement before being available for withdrawal.

So the best option for the ops right now is to contact the campaign manager to have his wallet changed,  because continuing like that will make it hard for him to be able to avoid some form of gambling urge.

Sorry to say, this is foolish decision you made by submitting your gambling deposit address to a signature campaign, after several warning here that they are saying do not use exchange and other site address to submit for a signature campaign or something like that. After warning not your key not your coin? Didn't you know how to go create electrum wallet address or what makes you to go deposit your money were you could easily lose your money by either loosing it via gambling or a shut down.

This is a very terrible experience and i wouldn't like you to do that again but try to write to your manager to change the address to another non custodial address.

We all know the very reason why people think that way on gambling. It is indeed that you can generate an easy profit through gambling, however, the opposite can also happen, you can lose your money if you lose the bet. Like what happen to OP, he thinks of generating more money using his salary from signature campaign but ended up losing it.

OP should consider alloting a small amount of money when he gamble. If that certain amount of money lost, then he should stop and keep the remaining money. Don't think of chasing his losses as it will only lead to more losses.

Life lesson indeed. Furthermore if you store large amounts of money, you might find out that storing your money on a centralized, third party platform wallet is going to be another painful lesson. Be smart, be safe.

Make gambling rules and hold yourself to them. Make limits. Make rules. Do not go into gambling without knowing exactly how much you are planning to lose for the day.

We are all only human, so we really need to remind ourselves of our weaknesses. Otherwise the inevitable will keep on happening and we will find ourselves at the starting point, with an empty wallet, again and again and again.

Indeed there are some gambling sites that do not have requirements for withdrawals and here there are also campaigns where payments are made directly into the casino account but users can immediately withdraw certain amount of payment without needing to make bet even just once.
But it feels unethical when we join campaign but don't use some of the payment money to bet or play there because we get certain amount of money from the site campaign and at least some small amount we are willing to bet or play so that we can find out or get pleasure from playing on that site.
Maybe there are some people who say that when taking part in campaign we are not obliged to play on the site but are there people who take part in the campaign or in the sense of working to get paid but don't want to try what is provided by the place where we work as campaign members?.

After all we are gamblers whether we are active gamblers or not but being able to gamble in many places will be very beneficial because it can provide experience and insight into each gambling site.

There is no one to blame here other than you because there is no wagering requirements for the amount you getting paid from gambling promotion unlike just normal deposits so you are allowed to withdraw when you see the balance in your account and if you fail to do that then its just only your mistake. At least you realized, so what you are going to do now.

Getting paid into your wallet is the actual solution to the problem you are talking about because if you have such urge then I don't see any reason for you to stop transferring funds from your crypto wallet to casino accounts.

Even if you say that still not everyone can easily do that action because sometimes its hard to settle up if you still want to play the game. Maybe in that situation he should consider to bet small and don't exceed so that when he realize that he lose a lot on small bets he placed then he should quit. But its hard to say that because not everyone can easily apply the suggestions told by people since some of them think that they are the master of their own self and no one can dictate on what they should do.

They are the one who can fix theirselves and for sure for many years of experiencing on gambling for they can learn a lot and maybe from that time these people can learn some methods on how to self control in gambling.

I bet there will be a significant difference there. When you already have that fund readily available on your account, you are only one step closer to placing a bet anytime you want even when your gambling urge did not kick in once you see a fund on your account it's quite inevitable to resist that kind of temptation to place a small bets.
I'd rather receive my signature campaign earnings received in my preferred wallet away from the gambling platform if that gives me an option, rather than dealing the risks of making micro bets that would eventually become a bigger loss.

Well, this is simply nothing but your own fault, like you said, you lost control of your emotions which is what lead to you losing your entire balance not once or twice, but 5 times according to you..

By now, I believe you must have known that gambling doesn't give any mandatory or sure profit, it all has to do with your luck, and when unlucky, you can end up losing everything, all you gotta do is learn to control yourself to only gamble with as much as you are ready to lose.

Stake pays their signature participants in their stake account, but not once have I ever lost all my earning for a week on gambling, I do well to watch my gambling habit and that have saved me from lots of unnecessary loses in gambling.

You are lucky that you come to learn and listen to your self that early ,
Imagine that you only made that mistakes for 5 and now you are free from that?
how many gamblers here that still in that situation and already hooked that even their savings is being spent in gambling.
congratulations as this is a Job well done mate, you will inspire many members here to
never let their payments go directly in their Gambling account because they will be
surely tempt to do the same as you.

Yes, everything comes back to each individual, sometimes there are those who reuse the income from casino signature campaigns to gamble and seek luck so they can get more, as usual humans will never be free from greedy behavior and especially if they complain about their losses on this forum, it's clear We all know that gambling has risks and don't gamble if you still complain about the risks.

It is important to think again before we really gamble whether we are ready enough to lose the money we use to gamble. If we are ready, there is no need to complain about anything which is our own fault for gambling, because otherwise it is not certain that when we win we complain about anything. The point is, don't be greedy, make sure you gamble using the money we are ready to lose when gambling, as long as it is paid by Stake, I only use 10% of my income to gamble.

Very well said my friend, and to just add, greed have actually destroyed alot of people, not just in gambling, but in every aspect of life that has to do with money or finance..

But discussing about gambling in particular, I am not actually surprised to see someone complain here about losing all his Weekly earning on gambling while trying to earn more, I am actually surprised that users here are not complaining everyday here 😅, that shows we sure have more disciplined gamblers than we actually know.

Did your campaign have an option where you could choose to be paid? If not, then I don't think that's really the mistake. I believe the mistake was your decision to gamble your earnings in the signature campaign. Personally, I have experience getting paid on a gambling platform account in past campaigns, but I never faced the same problem as you. Once I received my payment, I just directly withdrew it to my personal wallet. That was the process until the campaign was stopped.

There's a problem within you in managing yourself in gambling. I think you need to learn more from your mistake so it will not happen again. As a gambler, it's normal to make mistakes, as sometimes we easily get tempted by the kind of winning we envision. It's like gaining experience but at an expensive cost.

OP, I thought all signature campaigns required you to have those payments or funds you had worked throughout the forum, deposited so to be received onto your gambling account. This wasn't a decision but a requirement by the sites you have affiliation with.
Atleast all the signature and avatar campaigns I have been in required you to put a deposit address from your account on those gambling platforms.
In which, it is common practice most participants will use those received funds to try their luck.
Thus they more than likely will lose most if not all of their payments from these respected campaigns they are in.

At least you have realized your mistake and don't repeat it after you get your payment.
It will never be easy for us to increase the amount we earn, especially through gambling because gambling will not give us easy wins.
Instead of using the payment you receive to gamble, you should withdraw the payment and collect it in your wallet so that later the amount will be large too.
You can still use a small part of the payment to gamble but remember that it is just for fun and not to increase the amount.
And before you do that, you must have good self-control so you don't use all the money at once.

It's hard to believe that this is a mistake, since the campaign isn't forcing signature campaign promoters to drop casino profile address why did you intentionally drop the casino address? You saw it all coming, you have plan that's why you use such address, now you are making this whole drama as if you are not responsible for this.

If you have gambled and able to double your balance on the casino you won't be here complaining today, am I right? So you already have a mind to use that money to try your luck and things doesn't go as you expected.

Be a man and accept your mistakes, if you are not ready to lose some money do not depose them on any gambling platform, you can suddenly have this interest of trying out your luck, next time use your personal wallet address instead.

We all lose money gambling at some point and there is nothing extraordinary about it, but the main problem is that you have chosen a high risk entertainment as a tool to make money, and this is not a good strategy. If I were you, I would pay attention to long-term investments in promising cryptocurrencies, and I would consider gambling only as entertainment, but not as an easy way to make money.

No doubt,  That's exactly what should happen to you because automatically there is gonna be an emotional trigger or emotion attached to the fund because you are risking more than you should risk. Your experience is not new, and many have gone through this experience in other way round but choose to remain silent. However, the lesson here or what one should deduce from your story still balls down to the risking the amount you can afford to lose, meaning that there is a high degree chance that you are gonna lose that money.

Wow! You know I thought you participated in a casino signature campaign and the payments were made into your account with the casino, which you used to gamble, not until I read Cantsay's comment and it became glaring what you did. That was dumb bro, that's why is advisable to set aside a daily or weekly budget for gambling so that you won't be tempted to blow off everything at once. Well, I hope you've learnt your lessons and I'm happy you're sharing your experience so that other persons will get to learn from your mistake.

Campaign payments before paying directly using their gambling platforms. You can withdraw it once you've received it. The only mistake is you risked it. Not once, but five times. At least you've learned your lesson. If you can't afford to lose next time, don't gamble. Lastly, try to communicate with the campaign manager if you can change it to your other wallet to prevent yourself from becoming a gambling addict.

Receiving funds as a signature participants on the casino being promoted need discipline for one not to spend the money reckless on the platform using it to gamble and at bets.  We need to make sure that we discipline ourselves as a gambler when making bets or we might use all the whole funds to bet and nothing will remain for us. Your mistake is as a result of your inexperience when getting paid on a signature casino we are promoting. Betting need some level of knowledge that will aid us to do the necessary things we need to and to make the right decisions.

Am part of the signature campaign that he is participating in and they pay to any BTC address pretty quickly. Op gave his gambling site wallet address in this context and gambled away his funds.

Go easy on him. He knows very well that he messed up which is why he's trying to help others not repeat the same mistake.

It's not really a mistake, it's just you who cannot control your urge to gamble all your earnings I used to do that but I made it a point to only allocate 20% of my payout from the signature campaign if I lose the allocated 20% I will just call it a day and try another day until I grow my earnings to cashout.

When you deposit the casino expect that you will play for it, unless it's a Stake campaign that you can withdraw right away.


You have to expect this, a gambling platform is not a place to grow your money so it is better to use your own wallet if you want to Hodl your earnings, this proves that there's no guarantee in gambling, you have to be comfortable with the result win or lose.

I believe this decision to gamble with all your earnings is bad and should ve seen as gambling addiction in the sense that the ops have directed his salary to be paid into his casino account, this mean the ops can also direct his other civil work salaries to be paid into his gambling account, I know ops will be reading comments and he will come across a lot of criticism against his decisions and how it has increased his risk chances.

The good thing is that he learned from his mistakes and hopefully will not repeat these same mistakes again. Telling other about his story and asking to take care is really a nice gesture and should be apricated.

I think anyone who is too concerned about his money, he should not gamble with them.  Gambling is taking a risk with your money and it can go either way. You can make more money but at the same time you can lose money. If the earning from signature campaigns is crucial for your livings, then you should not gamble with it or gamble with a tiny amount so in case of a loss, no huge money is lost.

Any money that is deposited on my casino account is solely for one thing to play to win or lose. Though the aim is to win but when I lose, there is nothing to be done because I don't have power over the outcome of the game. The first thing you should have done is to ask the manager if there was going to be withdrawal charges from the casino or not. Even if there is, casino has different withdrawal options that will be insignificant to your funds if you choose them but you let it be on the casino, you didn't fear what will happen if the casino decided to disappear especially when they are new to the forum.

If casino don't charge you as a sign participants and you know that you are very easy to convince to spend your weekly payment on gambling, the first thing you do is make withdrawal initiation the first thing you do as soon as the manager said payment has been made, make sure you that you don't have a single $$ on the casino, that's the only way you are going to be free from this drama of using everything to gamble.

By the way, using the money is not the problem, are you even winning with all the money you are using to play at all? If you are not making any, please just quit gambling or give it a break because you are only giving back the hard work you have done in advertising the casino on the forum. #peace

Realizing the mistakes we have made would be very good and we need to correct them so as not to repeat them again on another occasion. Managing emotions in gambling is indeed a very difficult thing for some people to do, but in my opinion we can try to get used to not setting a big winning target when gambling because if the target we set is very high of course we will play with a real desire to win so big that we can't control ourselves and this will make us lose in the gambling we play. You are right, it is very important that we understand how to manage our finances so that we don't spend too much on gambling.

You would really be ending up on having that kind of regret on the time that you do spend up those campaign payments with gambling activity specially if its credited out on a gambling account.If you do find yourself that being that too interested on doing such act then most likely you would really be doing those things repeatedly.The main issue on here is on your self control because if a person is really that not tending to play with those balances then they would really be making some withdrawal request right away without really having those kind of actions that they would really be that considering on gambling with those amounts.

Some people doesnt really care about spending their sigpay since they could really earn those amounts on the next week but if you are really having those kind of saving up those amounts because you do have
other priorities then for sure you would really be making out such step and decisions in regarding on stopping your gambling urge and this is why it would really be that a situational thing
for those people who do really make up some choices basing up or according into their needs on which it is really just that a common approach.

It was a really bad experience. One time, I got two weeks' worth of money in my gambling account, but I lost it all in just 10 seconds. So, if anyone else gets money in their gambling account,
I suggest you stop doing that and use a different kind of wallet.
Also, if you're thinking about making small bets to save a little money on fees, don't do it. Trying to save a little money could end up costing you everything.

And this ends up on banging up your head into the wall and would really be murmuring that you shouldn't have done that. Money that you had saved up on your gambling account could really be blown out in a matter of
seconds or simply being that instant and no matter how small or big it is then it would really be just that prone into that kind of probability on which it would really be just that wise if you do really just simply pull those
balance after you have recieved into your own personal wallet or something a wallet which are intended for your savings. Usually it is really that basing up on your intentions because if you do have that gambling
urge then you would be playing with those balances and dont mind on where those funds came from as long you do able to cater yourself towards your leisure or needing up this one
without realizing that you are putting yourself on big trouble.

You are not alone friend, I have done the same thing when emotions controlled my mind and at that time greed controlled my mind so it would be difficult to control myself after paying the campaign, I always lost faster when I couldn't control my emotions.
Maybe this thread can help anyone to continue learning to control themselves, don't use too much of your budget for gambling, at least use the first 50% to try to have fun and maybe you can use 50% of your budget to gamble another day.
So you won't lose all your money in one day and I know the feeling of regret you feel but however you did this because of your own mistake and I hope you don't do it again in the future always withdraw a few % of the results you have before starting to bet.

Forcing participants in advertising campaigns to accept payments on their gambling accounts is merely an attempt to induce them to spend those payments on gambling. In the best cases, they will have to pay a withdrawal fee if they are lucky to use a platform that allows them to withdraw immediately without having to bet a percentage of the deposited amount.
I do not deny that there are honest platforms that conduct reliable advertising campaigns, and this step can be interpreted within the promotional strategy, but it cannot be said that their intentions are good because accepting payments on gambling accounts requires creating an account and perhaps going through identity verification procedures. This targets the privacy aspect to some extent.

Interesting you mention that little trick of gambling the payment in order to save on fees, it is something I have actually done in the past, with varying results, of course.
Those short gambling sessions to cover the fees, in the end were not worth the stress and the time, in the end one could obviously end up losing more than those fees.

Besides, since we would be gambling with the sole idea in mind of getting money for fees, we would not be doing it for fun, and from there all can go to hell, like it happened to you. Even though it was not a positive story from your point of view whatsoever, I thank you for taking the time to share it with all of us.

Have a save and good night.

I don't understand actually what you are saying concerning bitcoin and I believe that bitcoin in signatures campaign the manager pays with bitcoin address, what you are saying is it basically on the your account of gambling like casino or sport bet account you are talking, because I don't know exactly what you are saying concerning your account and how your funds made away in your account

The temptation will always be there. I can say that because we had the same experience. I tried to gamble my signature payment too looking for a little profit to cover the withdrawal fees. Although it's just a low amount of fee, I just want it to be free by winning some casino games until I find myself losing more and then chasing back what I lost. Luckily, there are times that I get it back and more but most of the time I'd either get it back to the previous balance or a bit of a loss.
If you are not ready to gamble them, withdraw them. I don't think it is worth the stress if you are too scared to lose the money. You will just find yourself regretting all that you have done and maybe lose more when you try to deposit and chase those losses.
What I do is, withdraw a big part of the payment and then leave some of it, that is what I am ready to gamble and it works for me as I can enjoy playing the games without stress.

This is something that I do not understand from people that are getting paid on their gambling accounts. Why do you need to play with it when you have no intention to play at all, and it's just the thought of increasing it that motivated you. It's just like dancing with temptation and taking on his offer with you ending up as a loser. Participating in a gambling signature campaign for over a year, I think there are only two instances wherein I used my payment to play, and that's because I have no extra funds to move around. Other than that, I know that I'm using that payment for other things than gambling.

Well, personally, I think that many of us have had this happen to us , yes, it's sad, but it's Something we shouldn't have made, a mistake like that is bad, it shouldn't be repeated and it's okay for you to comment on it, because things happen When things happen. They deal with money, because we must be very careful, we Cannot exceed our capabilities and we cannot be thinking that doing things in a crazy way is the best, much less on Impulse , that 5-10% is something that we repeat ourselves and When we see it, it seems to us that it is Very good and it is not like that, we as good gamers know that the money we have to have in the Signature campaigns must be well used , of course if it is for the exclusive use of spending it in a casino, then it is the decision of each Person, otherwise you should not Risk like this, because it enters the zone of irresponsibility and it is not a good thing, you have to be very careful because if your money is Committed then things will Get out of control and There is not much that can be done, for this reason, as long as we have money in our signature company, we must leave on the Platform the Amount that I can spend without any relevance, only destined for the Game , not bad , but I think it is the Only thing least way to do it.

When we do what you did , I think many of us Feel disappointed, but there is still no fun left, that time when we change many things for the sake of the umpus, because we are carried away by emotions is something that should not be played like that, I always leave something in me money to be able to play when the truth provokes me, I don't expect to win from There , I only use that money because I like to play because I like to Feel the excitement, whether in tragedies or in Any Game, sometimes Poker is very nice , and the Black jack too , they are the Games I mostly frequent on stake.com, because it is my Trustworthy casino and I know that it will never Disappoint , so when you have Complete Confidence in the Platform , in the Same way we cannot Abuse our Own Capabilities.

The mistake wasn't getting paid in your gambling account but it was the greed that covered your mind when you saw the balance which made you think that you will increase the balance which you weren't supposed to think and should have withdrawn the balance immediately after it was received.

It's all about self-control, if you don't have it, you will most probably do that when you see that you have some balance in your gambling account.

Well, nothing can be done once the mistake has been done, however, we can learn from our mistakes and shouldn't repeat them in the future. Now that you've experienced it, you should try and avoid doing that again in the future.

That situation can tempt any gambler who receives payments directly in his gambling account. He would think that he would use his little money to gamble and win some money. But it would not be as he imagined because it was gambling where one would not always be able to win and it would be better for him not to think like that and decide to just withdraw all his money. If that has happened about 5 times, you have to learn to control yourself from the temptation to gamble and immediately withdraw your payment before you think about using the money to gamble. By withdrawing all the money, at least you can keep the money in your wallet and have no desire to gamble unless you really want to gamble.

100% agree, no matter which address we use to receive any payment (not only from campaign), as long as we are attracted to use increase the money by gambling then we will send it to our gambling account. Of course getting paid in gambling account give us bigger chance to use it for gambling than if we receive it into our own personal wallet. Once we participate in campaign (gambling) and the payment is sent to the gambling account, we should have a strict rule to ourselves. Whether we should withdraw it all immediately, or withdraw some and use the rest to gamble if we do not want to lose it all.
 

That's a lesson learned for you. Actually it also happened to me before, but it's not a choice but a rule that the payment of sig earnings will be directly credited to my gambling account. The problem is not because the funds are in my account, but the thought that I can possibly increase it if I tried to play hunts me. Same outcome of what you experienced, I also lose my money.

If you come to think of it, this is not because you have funds to use for playing, but more on the greed for wanting more. The reason why having a self-control is important. Regardless where your fund is, if you have no self-control, there's still a possibility that you'll use (or transfer your money) to be able to play. It's just that, there's a temptation if your money is already on your gambling account since convenient to use.

So how do you increased the amount by 5-10%? You want to sit it out on that gambling site wallet or play with it? If you played then sorry to say it's a big risk and I do hope that you understand it by know. And I guess even if you save if to a wallet that you have control, maybe there will be times that you will be tempted to deposit it to a casino. And then just continue to play again and again. Been in this kind of situation and even up to this day, when I have money in my wallet I will have to wake up and then think that I wanted to play and then deposit some. So not just you, I think majority here have been in that process before and it's very hard to get out of it unless you have learned to control your emotions and snap back to reality that gambling will just destroy your life slowly, so it's very hard and we need to be mentally prepared before we can quit.

The mistake you mentioned is actually something that many of us make and cause us to quickly use up our signature payments for no reason. Especially for someone with a secret gambling addiction, receiving signature campaign payments in this way actually encourages them to spend their entire balance. Although it is a money earned through effort when payment is received as online casino balance through a signature campaign our risk threshold increases to double this amount. Gambling is an activity that doesn't cause any harm when played in a disciplined manner just for fun and if it is not played in a disciplined manner as you mentioned. It causes your entire balance to be depleted. Therefore, if possible, it is necessary to receive the signature campaign payments into the cryptocurrency wallet or transfer the payment added as balance directly to the cryptocurrency wallet.

As an additional solution method, gambling with a certain part of the payment amount received and transferring the remaining amount to the cryptocurrency wallet, provided that discipline is maintained, will also help to avoid consuming all the money. Someone who is not addicted to gambling can have fun by gambling with 20% of the payment amount and keep the remaining amount as savings in their cryptocurrency wallet. I hope you can set a good plan for the signature campaign payments in the coming weeks and transfer some of it to your cryptocurrency wallet as savings without spending your entire balance.

Definitely, this is not for me, because I don't think I could ever make such a mistake by receiving payment to my fun account. It's just like putting your money in a place where there is no actual budget for that money; anything could happen to the money once you lose a little control over yourself. In gambling, we can easily lose our minds and want to overplay with the hope and belief of winning back all that has been lost. Just last week, a friend of mine who works with a local gambling platform in my place said a gambler was gambling with about $100 but was lucky to win $500+ through visual games, but he did not give up playing; he continued until he wasted all the money he had won and even gambled off more. So, OP, you made a mistake and should learn from it. Anyone planning to take the step you took should learn from you.

I often play gambling on the money received from the subscription campaign, but in my opinion it is better to receive rewards on your personal wallet and then transfer them to the account of the gambling site. In general, subscription campaigns is a great way not only to communicate on the forum and increase activity, but also to get enough money to play gambling without the need to tartrate funds from the family budget. In most cases, gambling problems arise when a person loses control of himself, but to improve this skill will have to work on yourself for a long time.

Why was your mistake getting paid directly in your gambling account? Doesn't it really matter if we first get crypto currencies added to our wallet and then deposit it at our favourite casino, or if it comes directly to casino balance. To me it seems to be more a problem for you to control your bankroll than where your money is being stored. Having all the money at the casino might be a problem if we really want to save some of our signature campaign income.  In the end we need to decide for ourselves how much money we want to gamble with each month. For that it doesn't really matter if the money comes from our signature campaign, our longterm storage wallet, or from new crypto purchases we are making with our regular salary. It's all the same money and we should have a plan beforehand on how to spend it. What works best for me is to have a fixed gambling budget for each month and don't have more than that budget stored at the casino. Learning emotional self-discipline is not only important for gambling, we also need it to be successful in trading and investing.

That will prevent him from using his money to gamble because he has to send the money first to his gambling account before he can gamble. But those who receive their payments directly into their gambling accounts have to be really strict in how they use their money because otherwise, they could use all their money without any money left. For this reason, a person must have control over himself and not gamble excessively to still enjoy his money for his family or personal needs. And because gambling can tempt someone to continue gambling, we must know when to stop so as not to lose all our money.

You'll get tempted if you've done this and that is the result.
Thank you for reminding us to avoid this kind of payment option at all cost, we all know the risk of gambling and if you have put your money there weekly there's a high tendency that you'll use it for your gambling activities, not unless that source of income is really meant for your leisure time either for gambling, to buy some foods or for your entertainment purposes but if that money is what you really need for your daily basis, then having this option is too risky.

Yes, that is normal but it still has to be controlled. We always want more, especially when it comes to money. I think we have to learn to be grateful for what we get even though it's not much. I think with what we can, although not too much, we can still look for it by following the same campaign, but if we lose all of it, it will eliminate our previous efforts.

Using gambling account in order to receive payment from participating signature campaign is not good decision cause we are all know that not all the time in gambling we can make a profit.  And like what you said above that there's a time when we play and loss all our funds then regret is always in the past. Do it's better to not give our gambling wallet address to our signature campaign manager in order to prevent  such loss like OP did

The campaign is meant to run where participants are paid inside their account in the casino. Which if you are planning to play, its going to be convenient as you won't need to send it to a casino as you are already in a casino. That's one advantage off it. For a campaign participant, I think they know this before joining the campaign. Its not required but feeling it and learn more about the casino you promote is kind of good. You will be able to promote the casino better when you know its services well.

I appreciate your kindness of telling your story but people are different. In the first place, putting your rewards into your gambling account would simply create convenience and would make it easy for you to bet anytime you would want to. It is like placing a bowl of food to someone who is hungry. Self-discipline is a simple word all of us would understand but it is something difficult to imply to oneself. If we cannot instantly work with our actions, atleast we should make precautionary measures on our funds, especially in this industry. The fact that you’ve made this mistake 5 times simply means you are lacking the devotion to manage your emotions and that is something you should really work for yourself.Gambling account wallet is sometimes a requirement to a signature campaign. The loss also is not created by the campaign or a particular project but rather OP’s impulsiveness in betting.

what happened to the gambling rule of only gamble with what you can afford to lose? Putting every money that you get from your income into your gambling account is not the best idea, and you are the perfect example for that. Here are some few things to learn from this event. firstly, emotion control. you got influenced by your emotion which is greed and that has led you to do this situation. if you had control over your own emotion then you could have easily avoided this. secondly, never gamble in order to make money. take it as an entertainment and never put money in front of it. third thing that I want to say is, whether the amount is small or big, if it isn't something that you can't afford to lose then never gamble with it.

if you could have followed the rules and strategies that gamblers use, you could have easily avoided this.

It definitely is frustrating for you, especially if you are just trying to make some money in gambling. With that kind of experience, you should've stopped when you tried it already but since you have experienced it multiple times, it's going to be a problem.

Maybe to solve this, just don't put or deposit the payment in a gambling wallet or once you receive it, just put it out immediately.

Thank you for sharing this, I hope a lot of people learn from this.

Well, for what is worth, you patronized the casino. Let me ask you this, if you had won 5 times, would you share this story with us in this tone? Will you call it a mistake? I don't think so. You know the right thing to do, please do it. First start by changing the signature campaign deposit address. The if at all you want to gamble out of it, remove just 5 -10% for gambling budget. Next thing, do not make it a frequent thing. If you are experiencing losing streak, take a damn break. You are emotionally discipline don't place obstacles in your way.

I guess I have never seen this option until reccently and there was a twitter element involved for that SC, which is why I didn't apply.

I have found a new one that seems to be great in crypto play, albeit I have to admit that i've never been a user of these platforms.

When the people consider the fact related to the money,the people never satisfy with the money.So the gambler will increase their target in the winning from the gambling.So the gambler will get addicted to the gambling in the shortest period.Eventually if the gambler use their money from the income,it will not affect the any people from the gambling addiction.If the gambler use the money by getting loan from all their friends,then loan will become the pressure for the gambler.Later he start to gamble only for the repayment of the loan.

Just to make it clear to you, it's not a mistake getting paid thru gambling platform accounts.

It became a mistake for you because you did a horrible thing. If only you maintain your coolness, discipline, and being a responsible person in gambling, you won't end up with that mess. Again it's not a mistake but rather you are the one who made it a mistake.

From now on, I hope you should know what's the best thing to do not to repeat that mistake of yours.

I get paid on my gambling account either, so far I didn't get tempted to use it for anything other than personal gain. It's not the problem of the casino, it's most likely a personal issue about your self-control and all that stuff that causes you to unnecessarily spend money for gambling, even your signature campaign winnings.

Honestly I don't think it's a problem either. Money that we get here isn't that much for many, and unless you're in a pinch and/or living in a third world country it wouldn't particularly last you a while. Anywho, long as you don't spend money you can't afford to lose, it's all good. Otherwise you have to look into your spending habits and perhaps perform some budgeting and reframing so you don't spend uncontrollably.

Before I was in a campaign where payments are directly sent on gambling account.

But I didn't end up the same on OP because I know and understand the risks.

Maybe OP just got carried away as there's a balance right away on his gambling account without the need of extra effort just to start doing gambling. I also think that OP maybe won on the way and decided to just continue to gamble without realizing he now fall on the gambling trap and the rest is history.

      I can't quite imagine what went through your mind and you did that thing? did you do it just because of the money? Your reason seems to be very shallow at that point. But anyway, what was supposed to happen happened.

     And it looks like you are the only one who saw it if you did it here in my opinion, I hope it will be a lesson to you and also to others here who are planning to do what you have done here. What you did was really a wrong move.

it was a rollercoaster ride of emotions, We think we can do it but it's impossible to control our emotions while playing, Never think of ideas like this, You can be smart in anything but in gambling every smart person becomes
a dumb in seconds, That why i started this thread so other people or users who recently ranked up to full member and joined signature campaign first can not repeat this mistake and learn the lesson from others mistake.
I am locking this thread now.
