How do you guys think gambling addiction started? I have seen and heard a lot of crazy stories how gambling has ruined people lives. why can't some people just walk away from it???

Anybody know how to submit additional documents on slot magic?

Longest bonus of my life 🫩

I was using Sky Vegas and the first two games I played.... cooked tf out of me, I went from £100 to £20 very fast :(

Found a random slot machine that looked cool but too complicated. I thought "Well, at this point the idea of making my money back is dead and buried... so may as well have a laugh with this one!"

Aaaand roughly 4 games later I had a £450.

Technically on that app I made £550 if we account for my losses my sickly £20 had to uphold.

Transferred most of it out to my main bank account no issues.

The only way I imagine this stays profitable for Sky is That they must have built in some deeply complex "randomness" to stop people pattern recognising.

Google says Sky abides by gov guidelines but if you can see win/loss ratios by app and outgoings?? then and changing those things.... you are still adapting to a playstyle in my opinion, just on a lag

Would anyone like a referral for careers ! I would love to help out :-)

All they show is complaints and wins. Never the $27k hitting their bank.

I’m planning a relaxed, solo trip to Southern California and want to stay at a casino resort while I’m there. I mostly like table games, pai gow is my go to. But I like taking my time, so I don’t enjoy playing off on a crowded general floor. Are there any casinos in the area that have separate high-limit areas that also have pai gow? A lot of the private rooms I’ve seen seem to be mostly for baccarat.

I know it's not a lot of money, but I don't play for huge gains. I was just trying to make my quest of 100 spins or 500 spins or whatever it was. Free spins activated with 4 houses each on Reels 1, 2 and 4, and 1 house on reel 3. Nothing filled in from the spins, but Mr Monopoly threw the houses and upgraded me.

1156x on a 20 cent spin.

EDIT: Haha, someone downvoted me. I guess they are jealous of all ma munnies!

Found this pretty slept on site a few weeks ago and ngl it's probably already one of my top 3.

Instant redeems are a huge thing for me, and most of the reliable sites out there take a day or two at least, so when I find one that has instant redemptions, 1x playthrough, and actually offers discounts, I'm cooked. U can also grind vip with gold which is nice.

The site is relatively new and I haven't seen much about it yet, doesn't look like there's too many people on it either, but I can see it becoming pretty big in the near future. Personally redeemed 5 or 6 times, one of which was for over $500, never had any issues with any of them and they were all instant. The rtp seems to be on the higher end as well.

Site is called newluck, lmk what y'all think if u end up trying it.

I’m a small time casual blackjack player that doesn’t win a whole lot, but like I’m worried about the irs whether this stuff is even taxable or not and what steps I should take to protect myself from any financial legal trouble

Started at $0.20, got it up to like $20 and ripped a $14 bonus buy.

Made my night.

I saw an ad recently about a website called rainbet, it said they where offering a 100% deposit bonus.

I know normally casinos add a certain amount of money you have to wager in order to get that bonus, but in this case it was not a: deposit $50 and wager 40x times that amount to get it.

Rainbet thinks is ok for them to ask you to wager $25,000 in order to get your 100% deposit bonus for the $50

Here is an image from there support confirming it.

My question is is this ok? Not a single other casino I have been on or played on has been this scummy, normally the amount wagered is around 25-50× the bonus amount but here not only do they not give the bonus but they make you wager 500x times the amount you put in, in order to get it.

Everyone associated with this website should be ashamed of themselves.

Pd: I did read the tos of the promotion but it was a bit weird the wording they used so I dint know you had to bet 500x times the 50$ idk maybe its just me.

My ontario folks, i have the big books & casino apps, but what are the smaller apps that have a great new customer promo?

& if an app isnt on igaming is that just useless to sign up to?

I’m in Michigan and I don’t even use the normal casinos anymore.

I saw some won 5k. Wanted to share my little $10 bonus lol

I honestly thought those Daily Jackpot things were just for show and that nobody actually won them.
Then somehow I hit one today for 1,581 SC.
I couldn’t redeem the whole amount because of the playthrough requirement, so I had to keep playing before I could cash out. Ended up walking away with around $1,000.

Good morning. Sweepstakes casinos have just been recently banned in my state. I miss playing on Stake a lot, and I want to know if there are any true work arounds that would make it so I could continue playing? Preferably on my current account, but if I had to use a different one in order to be able to play, then obviously, that would be ok. I know about VPN's and all of that, but I've heard too many mixed things about them in this regard. The bottom line is that I just want to be able to play on there again, and I want to know what I have to do to be able to do that without moving to a different state LOL. - Thanks!

I am playing on steak and I've been winning well on these pragmatic games but then all of a sudden I cant win a fu king dime! The bonuses are hideous and the amount i put in i cant even break even. Ever! Its infuriating.

I mainly play roulette on sky vegas. Last night, I had three 14s come in consecutively. I looked through the last 500 games and all I see is shit like 10 10 20 10 8 8 20 20 11 10 10 etc.. but i noticed that this shit only began when she took the table so i took that as my cue to leave. When i came back this morning, it was the same girl. I thought to myself maaaaybe it was just a coincidence, but when I looked through the last 500 again, I see the same thing. LOADS of doubles. Well, less than 10 minutes later, three 35s come in and to cut an already long story shorter I contacted support and lodged a complaint and in the process was forced to apply a limit to my spending even though i dont need it, apparently addording to policy because id reported being "robbed" it triggered a warning of sorts that maybe i have a gambling problem. Ridiculous. Well fuck all of that!!! I just fucking joined the same roulette table and scrolling down what do I fucking see???!!! Another three consecutive 35s. Google the odds of getting three consecutive numbers in roulette. Well in less than 24 hours, i had three of the same numbers come in consecutively. AND..... AND 2 OF THOSE TIMES THE NUMBERS WERE 35.

Ended up with a 2400x on .10. Happy birthday to me.

For me it was when I started tracking my video poker sessions and realized my results changed significantly once I learned proper hold strategy. Same game, same stakes, just actually knowing which cards to hold, win rate went from random to something I could actually influence.

Not saying you beat the house long term, obviously. But there's a real difference between playing blind and playing with some understanding of what you're doing.

Curious what was the moment for most people here, was it poker, sports betting, blackjack basic strategy, something else?

Different logos.
Different welcome bonuses.
Different colors.

But once you're actually playing, it often feels like the exact same experience.

If you could change ONE thing about modern online casinos (not RTP or withdrawals), what would it be?

I'm curious because I've been thinking a lot about what actually makes a platform memorable.

Just learning how to play video poker and somehow hit this....

Entain (Ladbrokes, Coral, bwin) confirmed ~500 job cuts on 16 July - about 2% of staff. They call it an "efficiency drive," but say UK tax hikes are adding ~£200M/year to costs.
Meanwhile, they're lobbying to block unlicensed operators from sponsoring sports clubs - the exact route those rivals use to reach the market.
So: player protection, or protectionism with a nicer label?
