You might want to remove the Casinos from your signature 

Thank you all for your kind words of advice.

In response to this quote, I am simply getting paid for my signature. The casino in question offers me the highest paid for my signature. I do not gamble the payment, I immediately have withdrawn it.

This is why the US congress is ignorant. They need to regulate online gaming nationwide. By prohibiting it, bitcoin and these gambling sites have popped up to fill the need.

You can't stop online gaming so you need to regulate it so true problem gamblers can be stopped before it gets to this point.

I'm glad you got help.

Gambling by itself is a fruitless pursuit especially where the odds are against you. It's just mathematics over the long term and you will lose.

Thank you for your story. I should probably write something up myself. I'm a lot more cautious and selective with the casinos I choose to play with, but even so, it's still a lose-lose situation. Some of them have gotten so good at slowly draining your roll it's amazing. While I'm not nearly as bad as I used to be, I hit one up about 3x a week - 3x a week I lose, no kidding. Of course there are times I don't play at all... but I'm just grateful I'm not losing 10+BTC at a time like last year. Literally, it was nothing for me to have 200+ BTC in my 'disposable' wallet reserved for gambling only. I don't think I need to say that it's gone. I paid plenty casino employees' salary (and they know it), but never again. Now I stay below .1, on occasion up to .5.

No, I don't feel sorry for myself nor am I angry at the casinos or myself. I accepted that fate when I made the deposit. Here I am, thinking I'm testing the waters with small deposits... but that shit adds up, and quick. I came to the conclusion a long time ago that there are NO fair casinos (this is my rationale behind the testing), no matter how much you drop.

It's just fun , unless you abuse it
More people die from alcohol, fast food, smoking
Pretty much anything can be abused
Only reason why the govt wants to stop online gambling  because they see $$$ ( they  want to ban it and then have a monopoly with their own online gambling sites... and of course they will tell you it's ok because the run some 2-bit gambling addiction program )
just go to youtube and look up 'my strange addiction' and youll see that people abuse just about anything

I just think bitcoin's value is most certainly tied to the gambling you can do with it. Bitcoin is basically "the ghost" from the movie "The Patriot". Mel Gibson's character was created b/c the British general used brutal tactics. The govt is using the same tactics to ban online gambling. So here comes bitcopin.  It's not a question of morality, it's a question of facing the facts.

I suppose the argument is, only a small portion of gamblers will go to the lengths of learning bitcoin and buying them to gamble, whereas if there were sites you can deposit directly using fiat, then more people would do it which clearly is bad for society.

This made me shiver, several times... Thank you for sharing your story with us.

I think there should be an option to IP ban yourself from gambling sites like just-dice or at least some helpful information for addicts. For some people it's fun to gamble, for others it's an addiction.

• Get the IP of a gambling website.
• Locate the "hosts" file on your computer (normally at "c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\").
• Open the "hosts" file.
• Add this on an empty line: "-ip gambling website- 127.0.0.1"
• Save the file. Now you can't access that gambling site.
• Have fun doing something else

Better than showing blank page.
show " don't gamble"

Thanks for your input. The real reason for such an option is it to be non-reversible. And of course there are ways to bypass this as well. But for the average addict gambler it would be nice to have such option.

Hello everyone.  I was asked by Dooglus and Deb of Just-Dice if I would be willing to share my story to possibly help others who have the issues I have.

Thanks for writing up your story KoS.  I'll make sure Deb posts it to the Just-Dice blog.  Good luck staying off the gambling sites.  If you want your IP or account blocked on Just-Dice, drop me an email at the address at the end of the FAQ tab.

I came to the conclusion a long time ago that there are NO fair casinos (this is my rationale behind the testing), no matter how much you drop.

This shouldn't be a matter of opinion.  With the advent of provably fair casinos you can verify for yourself whether they are cheating you or not.  Of course, they all have a house edge, and so in that sense they aren't "fair".  Most only pay out 2x for a bet that wins 49.5% of the time.  That's a losing proposition long term.

I think there should be an option to IP ban yourself from gambling sites like just-dice or at least some helpful information for addicts.

There is.  Email the address at the end of the FAQ asking to have your account or your IP address banned from play, and it will happen.  Many people have already done this.  I never reverse a ban either, no matter how much you beg, or insist that "my friend did it as a joke".  There are links to gambling addiction resources in the FAQ too.

I was not aware of this. Definitely the right thing to do!

Gambling addiction can cause big issues and I'm glad you got past it. Stay strong.

Thanks Dooglus. Its quite shocking actually but being in the just-dice chat doesn't bother me or give me a feeling of weakness. Obviously if that changes or I have any urge to gamble I will let you know immediately and block my IP. As I said before, that feeling of wanting to gamble isn't there anymore. The thought disgusts me.
