Sorry this is kind of a wall of text (also first time actually posting on a forum so bare with me)

Well.

I only recently got into crypto because my longtime boyfriend got pretty into eth recently. It was fine until a week or two ago - the moment he found out you could gamble your coins .. well "hey I turned one coin into 2!" He became completely consumed by it.

He sat there all day and night. I tried to get him to stop.

Kept saying he just needed to get our coins back. He ended up maxing out both of our credit cards. Multiple cards. Well I didn't realize that until I got a call from his mom saying he was in the hospital and Uber kept failing to go through.

That's when I checked the cards that were attached to the Uber account and saw what happened. He kept buying more coins to try to win back what he lost. He lost over 10 coins I think.

I feel like I failed him. I couldn't get him to stop.

It's been a long two days.

I'm happy he's mostly okay.. like I mean it could have been worse. He fractured his ribcage and broke his hand and arm pretty badly. Evidently he rode his bike into a mack truck ...

I don't know. I guess I'm posting here because I looked up crypto casinos a week ago when I tried to get him to stop. Tried to explain they were a scam and he said "there's a 200 page thread on bitcointalk that says otherwise." Figured I'd come here and vent on this massive post

I'm not saying all casinos are scams like taking your money and laughing at you .. But like they have a advantage so they'll always win in the end. I mean I'm not throwing shade at this particular casino - it could have been any. Idk. I'm just said he's sad. Especially this sad. That he tried to hurt himself. He's never gambled before (like this, online I guess I mean) and I didn't really know what to do.

If you have a problem, please ask for help is what I'm saying. Go outside. Sit in the grass. Enjoy the sun.

I didn't realize this got so long. Apologies.
