Yes. It's a dirty loophole where a gambler can destroy his own life and his family too. Gambling addiction is too bad and can cause serious trouble. Op's case is an example of how gambling addiction and taking a loan can cause harm. He has to work for at least a year to pay the debt. But it's nice to see that he realized that it's not too late to stop. He did not take further loans to cover the previous one. I would suggest he not take another loan to cover this one. If he does, he will be trapped in a loophole. This is not the first time we heard such a story. Often people do these things and get into serious trouble.
When someone intends to borrow money from other people to gamble, it is already a sign that he is already addicted to gambling and should be stopped as soon as possible before he loses that money in gambling. But @OP has already lost so much money that it's hard to get it all back anytime soon. This is a lesson for him not to do it again, and hopefully, he will stop gambling after this bad experience and focus more on making money so he can get his money back. He was already stuck on that loan, and he really needed to stay away from gambling so as not to be tempted by gambling again. This is not easy because he is already familiar with gambling, but with a strong will, he can definitely do it.

With lots of recommendations from other friends, that's enough for you to start registering at the casino. Try playing slots because this slot game is the easiest and most tempting for you to keep playing. Playing slots requires good self-control because the temptation to win the game can make you want to keep playing slots. You must be able to control yourself if you play slots, and if you feel you cannot control yourself, you should immediately stop gambling. If not, you will definitely want to gamble in other gambling games. Without good self-control, you may lose a lot of money. So be careful when gambling. Don't lose a lot of money.

Its nice to read about your testimony and tonknow you were able to regain control of the emotional flows. We all have had such experiences as gamblers particularly in the beginning of our gambling when not so much have been gotten about how gambling is all about. I honestly don't care anymore about how much I have lost in the session and that's the strategy I use to not get emotional about thinking how much must have left my pocket instead I just decide I have reached my limit and it's a enough for the day. Was kind of hard to keep up with initially but progressively I have been able not to think of my losses as I do with winning.
If we do not try to gain control over ourselves, we will not be able to imagine what will happen to us. I admit that it was very difficult when I wanted to try it because there was an urge that was trying hard to get me to keep gambling. But I remembered all the bad events I experienced, and that's what made me try hard to fight it again. That's what I also conveyed to my friend who almost had the same problem as me, and fortunately, he wasn't as serious as I experienced, so he was able to come back well and can now enjoy his gambling activities as entertainment. Yes, it is better not to think about how much loss we have experienced because as long as it is the amount of money we can afford, it means we are ready for all the risks and can accept them well. We just need to enjoy the gambling game and stop when we have had enough gambling.

~snip~
This was the common way of gambling impacts to all the gambler,if they encountered the loss in the gambling.The reason for this was very simple,we are using the real money for the gambling.Which is the problem of loss can be used for the monthly expenses of the family man,this also may be the school fee of their children.The foremost thing need to remember as the gambler was,you should not use the money which was the budget of the other stuffs.The gambling also boost our ego to win more then we had loss in the previous bet,but the gambler will get the ego only if he had made big win in the previous bets.
That's why we have to be able to allocate a certain amount of money for gambling and always stay within that limit so that we don't gamble excessively. By having a budget for gambling, we will try not to violate it because if not, we could experience problems in our family finances, and this will definitely have an impact on the allocation of funds for other needs. Someone may have experienced this to the point that they have to adjust the amount of money they still have to be able to meet their daily needs, and that is really hard to do. But by having limits in the gambling budget and also having good self-control, we will always stay within reasonable limits for gambling and will not try to exceed those limits.

That's why there is nothing to worry about.

If someone is worried about the current casino that he's working with through a campaign, don't think of it as long as you see nothing wrong with them as most of them are licensed.

That's it, and true that ML are going to continue as this activity is almost everywhere even in real life casinos and other services that we don't know outside crypto world.
As long as we don't carry out illegal activities or cheat the casino, we will definitely remain safe and be able to enjoy our gambling activities well. We just need to pay attention to managing the money we will use for gambling and not deposit more than we can afford because gambling excessively will only give us problems.

Trusted casinos will still provide the best service to all their members unless some of their members are proven to have carried out money laundering activities. Casinos will definitely not tolerate it and will impose sanctions on them. The casino can even report it to regulators for further investigation.

Regret will come when someone has experienced a big problem because he previously made the wrong decision so he should not rush into making it or do it immediately and if he does not try to think with good common sense then he will tend to use emotions. to carry out activities as you mentioned. namely revenge to get back the money that has been lost.
If there is a gambler who is willing to accept other people's advice in order to change his bad behavior then it is very good for the future so that he can correct himself and learn to control himself in gambling so that he does not experience bad experiences again.
Yes, regret will come last after he realizes that there is a problem that has come to him, and he feels unable to solve the problem. He may find it difficult to solve the problem because it has become bigger than he expected. But he still has to solve the problem until it is resolved because if not, he will not be able to move on and will have difficulty surviving. He will also find it difficult to think clearly because everything looks dark to him, so he can't find a way out.

But if someone approaches him and gives advice, and he is willing to accept the suggestion, that may help him solve his problem. But most people find it difficult to accept advice from other people and prefer to solve their problems themselves without help from others. If that is the case, we cannot force our desire to help him because it has become his decision, so we can only accompany him.

Not vulnerable anymore but I think they will almost completely be tempted by everything that is there that looks like a temptation when it is nothing more than a temptation to trap them, everything is about chance and nothing more than that but beginners are very serious and ambitious in looking at it and they think that there is certainty for victory in not like that, the more you experiment with depositing money back then of course the more you lose. They should be able to see the many examples of downturns experienced by many people, especially those who are addicted and after that apply many restrictions so that their losses do not increase.

Yes, it only took me 5 months to realize the mistakes and mindset that I brought to gambling, if there are some who take longer than the process I experienced, I honestly can't imagine how much pressure they experience with such a long time. We have to change our perspective on gambling that it is nothing more than entertainment, I've done some research that gambling involves mental and psychology which if someone is mentally known then they will be easily emotional and that's what makes usually many gamblers excessive, they have difficulty in restraining their lust as a result of disappointment over losing. The rest I quite agree with you.
I agree with you that doing a lot of experiments means we have to put more money into testing what we find, and we probably won't stop gambling until we find the right one. But once we find the right one, it won't last long, and we will experience more losses than before. And we'll go back to experimenting to find others and deposit more money again. If the circle is not broken for a while, we will only experience addiction sooner or later, and it will affect our gambling activities and have deviated from our goal of gambling. So instead of losing the money we have won, we should stop and cash out the winnings and enjoy it immediately. That will allow us to rest for a while after gambling, and maybe taking a short leave of absence is also okay. We can return to gambling after resting for some time.

Those who need more than 5 months to realize their mistake will experience more difficulties than you, and maybe they are continuing to undergo the healing process that you have done. Maybe it will be very difficult for them because each person will go through a different process depending on the level of gambling addiction. By realizing that we have made a mistake, we can know that this must be addressed immediately before it gets worse, and we cannot overcome it easily. Therefore, those who are new or have not yet experienced gambling addiction must maintain their mindset well and must also really exercise good self-control so that they do not experience the same incidents as other gamblers who experience problems.

~snip~
Every thing was based on the situation at which you are playing the game,if you are struggling to get back the deposit money and suffer some loss means it is essential to hold all money in the gambling site alone.If you had made the big win by the prediction against the algorithm of the gambling site,the gambler should take the immediate step to withdraw the entire funds.Because the same prediction may be reversed and get the entire money to loss.So both the hold and cash out option should be used in the gambling site without emotional decision.
But if you keep all the money on gambling sites, it will not be recommended because we should keep all the money in our wallet to avoid things that we don't want. Apart from that, novice gamblers also don't need to spend a lot of money to start gambling because it can cause problems of losing money from gambling. If it is not addressed immediately, the problem will get bigger and will become a gambling addiction. And if they are able to win some money, they should be able to immediately withdraw the money and enjoy it rather than using it to gamble again. That is also not recommended because it could make them experience loss and will trigger them to become emotional if they lose.

but of course, you will see some gamblers around you who do activities like that. Previously they played with their own money, but when their money runs out and they still want to play they will borrow money from anyone, maybe even you, to continue playing. maybe the value is not large but the smaller the amount borrowed, the longer it will take to pay it back. maybe even just forget about it.
even though it guarantees payments that will be obtained from future work, however, borrowing money to gamble is an activity that increases the risk of gambling.
Yes, I've seen that happen around me, and I've even advised them not to borrow money from anyone, but they don't listen to my advice and keep borrowing money from friends they know. And I also don't force my suggestions on them because it is the responsibility of each person who wants to continue gambling. And I can already guess the final result where they can only win a little money, but by going back to gambling, they again experience loss, which wastes all their money with nothing left. I couldn't lend them money to be able to go back to gambling again, and they also finally realized that what they did was wrong, but everything had happened and couldn't be turned back. They had to return all the money they borrowed, and fortunately, they brought their ATM cards, so they immediately took the money and handed it over to the person who gave them the loan.

Everyone would like this, but the fact is that these profits and losses shake us from one side to the other. When we win, we imagine what we can afford to buy and where we will go on vacation, but after 10 minutes the situation may become reversed and we already need to think about who we will borrow money from again for the game and who to give it to. This erases emotional boundaries and we may not feel that this money is real, but only pictures on the monitor screen. Because of this, even if we are lucky and manage to win something, it will be incredibly difficult to leave with this winnings. How many players do you know who left while remaining at the pinnacle of success?
It is normal to imagine what we can afford and what we can do with the winnings. But if we have good self-control, we will only use the winning money for things that are useful to us. It depends on how we can manage the winning money and not follow our ego because of momentary emotions. We are lucky to have crypto casinos, but we are not so lucky compared to other people. When gambling at a crypto casino, you need luck and skill to win. But only some can have it, so only a few people can have it, so there are still more people who lose than people who win.

Tough to say as there are parents who are not care enough with how young folks can easily adopt whatever they are witnessing with the way adults are doing in front of them, not just limited with gambling but every single activities that may trigger the interest of those kids, they can easily reaearch it using the the internet, you might be surprise finding them playing or doing things without a notice, remember that with an easy access to the online world, kids can simply duplicate things that you are doing, so it is needed to be curious and have that care about that unexpected impacts.
Nowadays, there are many parents who don't care enough about their children, and this makes their children's growth problematic. We can see what happens to children who are growing up and don't get enough attention from their parents. They become wilder than other children and often get into trouble because they think it is normal, but it is not. They may often see what their parents do, including gambling, so they start to imitate them and gamble with their friends. Over time, they finally enter the online world, and by using their phones, they can find many things related to gambling, and in the end, they end up gambling more often. The internet can provide more knowledge to them, but if not managed well, it will only cause problems for those who are not ready.
990  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will you say within your limits to encourage responsible gambling? on: December 07, 2023, 09:59:05 PM
If I worked as a dealer, I would put on a cold, unfriendly face and not care about what happened, even though I wanted to tell him to stop gambling for a while after his big win. He is not certain to lose all his money if he continues gambling. I have never been in a situation like that, but clearly, staff members are required to work professionally, so they must be able to carry out their duties well. So I don't know whether I can warn the gambler who won a lot or keep quiet while continuing my work.
991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! on: December 07, 2023, 09:42:52 PM
Yes, I used to experience this when I was still gambling. If I lose, there is a desire to continue gambling to recover from the loss. If I win, I want to get a bigger win. I had a lot of problems at that time because I couldn't control my emotions and ego well. And I agree with you @OP, that we get angry easily over simple things. However, I realized that I had to change and stop everything by learning the necessary things. I have now started to change, and it has really changed me. Promotions do not easily tempt me, and I only gamble if I really want to gamble.
992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos and gamblers are struggling with high tx fees.? on: December 07, 2023, 09:13:14 PM
Fortunately, many casinos provide the option of altcoins as deposit coins so that people can switch to using altcoins that can be used as deposits while waiting for transaction costs to decrease. But it depends on the wishes of the gamblers because if they feel that using altcoins is a temporary solution to rising transaction costs, they will definitely return to the casino using altcoins. But if not, they will not force themselves to gamble, and that is a wise choice because they don't need to lose their coins at the gambling table, let alone lose self-control. After all, they choose not to gamble at this time.
993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gambling and Invest in gambling. on: December 07, 2023, 05:03:05 PM
Investing in gambling means that you bet on someone else's game without gambling yourself, such as in Blackjack, you get the option to bet behind someone else, or you hire a gambler who is very good at gambling to gamble for you. You supply him with funds and give him a portion of the gambling winnings. Such thinking comes only when someone wants to use gambling as a source of income.  And if anyone wants to get fun from gambling, then to get real fun, you must gamble yourself.
Gambling is fun when I win money, but it's very sad when I lose money. Sometimes I want to choose gambling as a source of income when I have a lot of profit from gambling. And I think about it when I lose a few times. I won't waste money on gambling anymore.I have thought these words many times but I can't stay away from gambling. So am I addicted to gambling?  Before this I suffered several big losses and abstained from gambling for a while.  But now I gamble almost every day. I find free time to gamble. I enjoy gambling so much that I find it very difficult to quit gambling.
Indeed, gambling is fun, especially if we manage to win some money from gambling games. But many of us experience losses from gambling and even lose all our money because we cannot control ourselves well while gambling. He really should reduce his gambling activities and will not gamble excessively. Maybe he could choose to invest in gambling but not by lending his money to other gamblers. That is not a good solution because we will still lose money if the person loses. And it is true that we should gamble alone because we can be responsible while gambling. We can also limit our gambling activities so that we don't lose a lot.
994  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I learnt from a crackhead about gambling on: December 07, 2023, 04:22:24 PM
When talking about addiction, regardless of what you are into, both won't gave you positive results but instead get you into trouble. Majority of addicts in the society is comprised of 70% in gambling while 30% in drugs. I might be wrong but that is what I have observed here in my place. That crackhead you mentioned was literally correct about his choice but was still wrong on the other hand. Though the damage could be the same in the long run.
The problem of addiction to gambling, drugs or alcohol has become a serious problem in many countries, so those who have not experienced it must always be careful not to fall into the trap of people who are already addicted. This is difficult to cure, especially if they have become seriously addicted because it requires more things to be able to make them aware and admit that he has an addiction. But perhaps no one knows the percentage number, and it requires more research to find out the exact number. All these addictions can have fatal consequences for health, mental health and finances, so we really have to be able to avoid them, and if we still want to gamble, we really have to be able to control ourselves well.
995  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: December 07, 2023, 04:01:39 PM
This is the dumbest decision that you would ever make on the time that you do gamble. You are really that putting yourself into those huge problems in the future in terms of finances.

Yes, it is. People might make a wrong decision at hit of the moment. But when ou take loans from the banks, I don't want to consider it as a hit of the moment. If you take a break an think about what you are doing, you should understand what is right and what is wrong. If people take wrong decision even after the thinking, it's their fault. In his case, he took a loan from a bank to cover his gambling expenses.

I was a gambler too. I used to hit max bet on hit of the moment when used to get a couple of lose bet. But, I believe everyone should take a break after a loss and think if they should continue or not.
That is why it is not recommended to borrow money from anyone to gamble. Those who do this will only get into trouble, especially if they lose at gambling, so they can't pay back the loan. There are more risks behind borrowing money as there is a desire to borrow from someone other than the first so that they can continue gambling and recover their losses. However, if they lose again, it will continue because there is a possibility that they will look for someone else to borrow the money to gamble again.

It would go round like that until he borrowed money from many people, and his debts had piled up. If that were the case, who would be willing to pay the debt? The family may also think long and hard about paying off the debt, but the family may want to return the debt after discussing it with the person who borrowed the money.
996  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: December 07, 2023, 03:37:29 PM
Personal I don't think it's right to gamble in front of children. My wife know that am a gambler but my children don't. I told my wife no matter the arguments we might have that she should never bring up my gambling life in front of our kids. I think there is a reason why they said gambling is for adults. Sometimes I see some some adults sending children to go and place bet for them in the gambling house and I tell them it's not good. If I see underage children in gambling places I send them back irrespective of whoever sent them to go place the bet on their behalf.
It's good if you feel that you don't deserve to gamble in front of your children because it can arouse your children's curiosity. Yes, there is a reason why adults watch adults games, and children should not see them because it can make them curious, and they will probably find out for themselves on their phones. It is unfortunate if there are adults who send underage children to gambling places, but it may still happen frequently in some places. Children do not deserve to be exposed to gambling, although we cannot deny that many children gamble with their friends. And only supervision and guidance from their parents can keep children away from gambling.

When greed kicks in then it would really be that so hard to stop and this is something to be very typical for most gamblers on having such kind of behavior. Who doesnt really want for you to have that more winnings? Luck would really be that a huge factor when it comes to winning  and its true that once you are really experiencing some winnings and on a consecutive manner then you would really be
having that kind of a feeling or boost up that you should really be playing more for you to have that more winning and this is something that you would really be able to experience on point.
For those people who arent that good when it comes to self control will really be definitely be playing even more on having those hopes that they could be able to win more which it is
really that a bad behavior.
No one knows when greed appears, but we can feel it after winning, and if we feel the urge to continue gambling because we can get another win, that is greed trying to tempt us to continue gambling. We must know that we must immediately stop gambling after the win so that we can enjoy the winning money and can also take a break to calm ourselves from the tension and feel happy because we have won big. And we also have to be responsible for ourselves so that we don't experience loss again and also control ourselves from greed. That is why we must always train our self-control so that we can better resist the temptation to gamble or continue gambling again. We don't need to follow those who decide to continue gambling again after winning because our goals are different from theirs, so we have to stop gambling to avoid the bad effects that could occur.

~snip~
Greedy people tends to fall in this category.  After winning a huge amount, they are not satisfied with the current winnngs and wanted to double to tripple the winnings so the think that if only they bet a higher amount, they could have one more.  So instead of stopping, these kind of gambler often raise the wagering amount in hopes to win larger amount but sadly, gambling does not work that way.  More often than not, after winning a huge multiplier, the platform starts its feeding frenzy, so most of our wager may probably give us negative result (except for those games that relies on skill).

This kind of thing, series of read streak,  often triggers a gambler or if not, make the gambler panick and start chasing losses.  Others even try the martingale method to instantly recover their losses.  but this kind of strategy fails most of the time making the gambler end up with an exhausted bankroll, worst they even deposit more amount just to exhaust it again.

We better get a hold of ourselves and control the greed within us if we wanted to stay in gambling venture with healhty financial status.
They are indeed greedy people who want another win after winning, and that is something we must avoid so that we don't get the experience of those who have lost a lot of money. Just let them keep doing it. They still want to chase their winnings because they will see whether what they did was right or wrong after they finished gambling. But usually, people like that will not stop gambling even after winning or losing because their goal is only to gamble, and that has made them addicted to gambling.

They will not be able to understand when to stop gambling because greed has taken over them, and they just want another win. If they fail, they cannot accept the result because they still want to try again by depositing some money so they can continue gambling. But the results will not change and will only increase the number of defeats they will receive. That has happened to many gamblers, and our job is to avoid that happening to us by always applying limits when gambling so that we don't experience as many losses as they do.

We have to learn to control ourselves and practice it at all times, not just when we are gambling. This self-control functions for other things outside of gambling so that if we can have good self-control, we can avoid something bad that might happen to us.

~snip~
In other words, he is not able to behave and control himself well when he is in the casino so he is easily tempted by what he sees there. The winnings that he should cash out and enjoy having fun, instead he will continue to gamble in the hope of getting even more money. Well, if he let it happen he would lose all his money and go home with only regret and sadness. Therefore, gamblers must have a betting limit that must be determined, if the betting money has run out or won even just a little, all they have to do is leave and leave the casino.
He can only regret the decision he has made, but it doesn't seem like that will stop him from gambling instead, it could trigger him to take revenge against the casino that beat him and took his money. I once had a friend like that, but fortunately, many friends were willing to advise him, and he also listened to our advice, so he learned to control himself, and now he can use gambling as he should. And yes, as gamblers who frequently gamble, we must always apply limits when gambling so that we don't experience incidents like those experienced by other people because we have to be responsible with ourselves and the money we have.

~snip~
Talking about luck here,is it really true that gambling is all about luck?I don't know why it is hard for me to believe that Luck is the main reasons why people win games.I think there are people who predict games and are winning them daily,could we say they are lucky too? I don't think so,I think Prediction has to be a proper check of past,and present form,and  a careful check of how they play when they are at particular place,or ground.people who believe that luck is the main reason why they win games will find it difficult to win games because they will predict out of what they think in their mind,and won't take a proper look at how the team is performing at the moment,and whats the best option to chose,because they believe as long if luck is on their side,they win.
Gambling is about getting lucky, but there is also a skill factor that a gambler must have, especially if he plays skill-based gambling. Without skill and luck, he would not be able to win and could only make random predictions for a match. If there is a person who can predict the game and win it every day, and he can win every day, he is lucky. Why? Because he can have better analytical skills than other people, he is lucky to have those analytical skills. If he couldn't analyze the match well and just guessed haphazardly, he probably wouldn't be able to win. So having good analytical skills is a person's luck so that he can choose the right team to win. Those who predict will not be able to win, and on the contrary, they will experience a lot of losses if they bet with big money.

I disagree with the first statement of your,,,, using a lot of money to gamble is not a good thing because you might want to recover the lot of loses you have had from gamble, and still there is no guarantee for winning even with the whole lot of money that you might gamble with.
It is not a must for a gambler to gamble with a lot of money or little money before he or she can win... Even with your small money you can also win big money (through luck) and with big money you can also will small money (that is if the luck is not much) and lastly, you can also lose everything even with big money or small money (that's if the luck is not there at all at all.
So, I am just trying to say that it doesn't matter whether you gamble with big money or not, but if you want to win, you can still win and if you want to lose, you will still lose.
Indeed, using a lot of money to gamble is not good. No one can deny it. What happens is that there are still many people who use a lot of money to gamble because they think it can increase their chances of winning, but they need to realize that it also increases their chances of losing. Yes, there is no guarantee that we can win a lot from gambling or even win a certain amount of money, and that is why we must always limit the amount we lose so that it doesn't become large. They had to understand that there was no need to use a lot of money to gamble. They would not have done it and would have stayed within their limits. But unfortunately, many of them are still trapped by the temptations in casinos, so that's what makes them deposit more money.

And that's why you'll see many gamblers boasting their profits and wins not their losses. Because it's a shame thing to expose how much you've lost before you take a win. But for someone who's into gambling, sharing how much you've lost and you're able to take back them through winning, that's one thing that you should be proud of and as said, it's hard to win with small amounts and the lucky ones who did it are commendable.
It's okay to brag about the benefits because we don't know the truth either. We can only accept it and say they are really lucky to be able to get that benefit. But if they really get their win after watching that streamer, they are really lucky because not many can be like them. They do not need to continue gambling after winning and should choose to rest.

When a gambler doesn't stop, the risk is never gone and it's going to be there until he completely gets out of the casino. That's a given thing that when a gambler keeps going, there's no way that he can skip the risk and the chance of losing his money because that's always been the case in gambling and that's never going to change.
If they can't stop, they will only accept the risk of losing, and the risk will be even greater than before. They are too greedy because they are still chasing victory even though they can already win big compared to other people. That should be able to make him stop gambling and rest for some time while enjoying his winnings.

We all know about the house being in control of the winnings and having the lion's share in all the gambled funds. It's important to limit our funds rather than give it all out to the house to win. Even when we stake huge amounts and win, the money still goes back into gambling, out of excitement, before we cash out our wins. Op's story is/can be true, but could be disadvantageous to other gamblers. Gamblers who tried similar methods as Op did, has complained numerous time of losing their money and not winning like the streamer. Some try to play new games, which they've not mastered or gotten used to, using high amounts to earn big like the streamer and end up disappointed. The right thing is to try whatever game we want to but regulate the wagered money. The streamers don't play with their money, and gamblers have to be careful not to mishandle money. Those limits also extend the fun for the player, and he'll enjoy his bankrolls for weeks. Within 1 week they'll get more wins and losses, which shouldn't bother them because it's like spare cash. It's undeniable, that losing a huge amount in gambling is painful, and since nobody wants such for a fellow gambler. Gambling with lesser amounts and strong money management is better, regardless of the choices we decide to follow from the streamers. Influencers are doing a good job in promoting casinos and the management or administrator, can offer more wins for new customers to retain them for the time being. Op already trusts the platform and their type of game, and would play more due to the fact he won while trying out the new games. Doesn't it sound like a marketing strategy devised by the casino, to win the hearts of gamblers to play more games? Congrats to OP. However.
You are correct in that statement. A gambler should be able to limit his gambling activities and not intend to chase wins or recover his losses because it will definitely not be easy. We cannot risk bigger losses while we are small gamblers who also do not have much money to gamble with. But we are lucky to be still able to continue gambling with sufficient funds allocated so that we can still enjoy entertainment from gambling. By limiting funds for gambling, at least we can get entertainment and pleasure from gambling, and we just have to wait for the time before we can win from gambling. And when victory comes and gives us some money, we must immediately stop gambling and leave the casino before everything turns bad without us realizing it. It will be more painful after finding out that we have lost a lot of money because we decided to continue gambling. We also can't imitate what streamers do because they can use a lot of money to gamble, and if they win, they can definitely win a lot, but if they lose, they also lose a lot. But no one knows whether it was their own money or whether the casino prepared it, so their followers would not know what happened. His followers only know that he gambles for big money and can win a lot of money. They won't show when they cash out their winnings, and even if they do, it's probably from the links they share on their channels.

I think those who launder big time know their transactions are traceable if they do it on a blockchain. As long as cash can still be used, they will be doing it on cash on the traditional casinos too. Mix their money on the casino's stash, minus the tax, and it's clean.

What is worrisome in the forum is if the government will also try to regulate the advertisements of casinos on the internet including crypto which bitcointalk has heavily being the biggest crypto gamblers pad.
Those who launder money will continue to be careful in laundering their money. It will be a tough task for casinos to monitor each of their members because, for popular casinos, must always guard their casinos against illegal activities such as money laundering. Casinos may implement something new to avoid money launderers who may already often use casinos for their illegal activities.

Maybe governments that prohibit gambling could block gambling advertisements from their countries. This means that citizens cannot gamble freely like before. If the government finds that there are many cases of gambling addiction in the country, it will increase the government's vigilance, and maybe that's when there will be an appeal from the government to avoid gambling. For this forum, maybe the government has entered it and is monitoring gambling activities, but who knows? We don't know the truth either.

~snip~
Well, that's a fact that money laundering activities will keep on happening and those that with lots of money that came from bad activities will still continue to do it.

While for those that are just casual gamblers, want to have some fun will probably be accused by the casino where they gamble because it happened to some users that they've been falsely accused.
Money laundering will continue to occur, and the government will find it increasingly difficult to track it because money launderers may use many methods to continue their illegal activities. But of course, that hasn't stopped the government from continuing to try to track him down. They will use all means to find the money launderers and punish them.

We who are just ordinary gamblers can only gamble as usual, not use big money, and only use gambling as entertainment. That will keep us away from the suspicion of the casino, and we will still be free to gamble.

Yes because it is the initial stage of their involvement, I think everything is likely to experience the same approach scenario including me also who became a victim of coming with the wrong mindset, it is very bad and I really feel how pressure when defeat always dominates you which makes your financial situation unstable or even destroyed. We as beginners still have a mindset that makes less sense and still have full confidence but in the wrong way and purpose, but it doesn't matter if they start their approach with misunderstandings because this is the initial process and what is certain is that hopefully you or they can fix everything by being able to reach the realization that this activity is really not recommended to produce.

On the other hand for myself honestly I went through a 5 month process to be able to realize myself that gambling should not be done except for entertainment purposes so as not to overdo it. Yes maybe it's true as you say, I also believe that there must still be some people who come to gambling just for fun, and I think most of them are rich people, because I think logically they already have a lot of money and already know how to make money so it doesn't make sense if they make money by depending on luck in gambling.
As beginners are also susceptible to the temptations they see in casinos, they will start to be tempted to try it, and in the end, they will deposit more money. They don't pay attention to the boundaries they have often read about, so they don't continue to stay within them. And what will happen next is that they will gamble more often and use more money than before, even though they see that they rarely win. They should be able to avoid losing a lot, but because they are curious about the gambling game, they keep depositing more money.

You are still lucky that it only takes 5 months to come to your senses, while there are still many people who cannot realize the mistakes they have made in gambling and even realize their mistakes because they have become addicted to gambling. You are right that gambling is entertainment, and you should not overdo it in gambling. If not, we will gamble more often, and as a result, we will experience a lot of losses. Wins may come, but the losses that will come will outweigh the wins. We should not use gambling to make money but only as entertainment that uses money, so we should enjoy gambling as it is.
