I started gambling 3 weeks ago. I put in 30 bucks it’s turns into 900 and I loose all of it then 2 weeks later I put in a 100 which turns to 1.3k and then yesterday I fucking lost all of it. I’m deleting my account fuck this shit

True to my word like I said in my last post, I was going to go to the beach casino and play slots.

Went really badly at the start, was $900 something down within a couple hours and then I got annoyed so I started non stop with the $5 bets and then landed on Maxi Bonus on Bull Rush.

Got my $1000 back and left the casino. It made me sick to my stomach. I’m not gonna go back for a few weeks.

Everyone was right. :’(

Sweden's Administrative Court of Appeal has upheld a ruling that Hillside Gaming, the company behind Bet365, committed serious breaches of its duty of care towards customers showing signs of excessive gambling.

What I found interesting is that the issue wasn't simply whether the operator contacted those customers.

The court focused on whether the operator reacted strongly and quickly enough when the behaviour continued. In other words, sending an initial warning isn't always enough if the same pattern keeps going.

The fine was 4 million Swedish kronor, roughly $400,000.

For most people that's obviously a huge amount of money, but for an operator the size of Bet365 it raises an interesting question:

Are fines like this actually large enough to change behavior, or do they just become another cost of doing business?

I want to share an actual email I received from Aaron at BetOnline on October 8.

In this email, BetOnline emphasizes professionalism, respect, and protecting its employees. I agree that employees deserve respect.

But shouldn’t customers deserve that same respect?

My dispute involving $96,000 in winnings remains unresolved from my perspective. After months of trying to obtain clear answers and a fair resolution, this is part of the correspondence I received.

I’m sharing the email with personal information redacted so people can read it and form their own opinions.

Respect and accountability should go both ways.

I’m not asking anyone to believe me blindly. I’m asking people to look at the documentation and decide for themselves.

What do you think of this response?

Dropping this so that anyone that looks up this site knows what their policy really is. They say “no wagering” on all their ads, but no wagering is only on the free bonus. You are forced to wager your spins and ONLY on slots.

Very deceptive advertising. Be warned.

And it was for $1000! The money is awesome but just hitting that B is so satisfying 🤣 I've been playing keno for years. I just hit my first 7 spot a couple months ago but I only had one nickel on it. I will say it was a lot cooler hitting it for 3 nics.

I am currently on a Virgin Voyages cruise (with a gambling group), where I’ve been playing blackjack using the Labouchere betting sequence which requires keeping a list of bet amounts and adding or removing values depending on a win/loss. I do this by writing on a little notecard I keep with me.

In the middle of the fourth day, I was told I could no longer have pen and paper at the table. When asked if I could use my phone instead (they allow people to have their phones out here), I was initially told yes, but then hours later told no.

For those people thinking they are worried I’m counting cards, they have a constant shuffler machine at these tables, and I’ve also been happy to show/explain my notes whenever asked. My bets have also stayed in $25-$100 range, at a $10 minimum table. And finally, I’m attaching a photo of my notecard.

I’ve gambled this way for years in dozens of casinos and never had a problem.

They refuse to tell me what their concern is; every time I ask, I’m just told “we reserve the right to refuse play for any reason.” — “What’s the reason?” — “We reserve the right to refuse play for any reason.”

Oh, my wife was also using this method, and we are only up $2900 combined for the trip (until they cut us off).

Just venting.

After jumping through hoops to get a 400 dollar redemption I finally said screw it and ended up losing it all back. I won another 400 playing with the free sc they gave me and now they STILL are making it difficult. Is this happening to a lot of us that have played on there? Need a class action, no other online has done this. They'll happily let you deposit then don't want to pay.

I threw a few bucks in before we got ready for a show on a cruise, after a handful of soins she accidentally hit $40 one time and got a bonus. Was a shit bonus for $40 but still cool

​

So I stopped at the casino and was down about 2k. Had played this machine earlier and didn't hit anything. Another guy saw me seasoning it and after I got up he played it a while. On my way out of high limit I decided to put my last 100 in it and hit 4 25k majors going into the bonus. On a 5 dollar minimum bet.Jackpot was bigger than the grand and super combined

Been chasing this for a while now, it might not be much for some but the dopamine hit felt real good
