40k usd is a huge money...at least for me...better stay away from gambling,or you can do only sports betting with Martingale strategy? But bet only what you can afford to lose
He said that he is working with a big company so it means that he can afford tat much amount for investing in gambling, I will not suggest him to invest that much which he can afford but I will suggest that invest only that amount which is the minimum allowed for playing there.

Why dont you just get paid into a cold wallet ? You can even have one for every time you paid. This way you won't have access to all your money at a time. Converting to fiat is not going to help as much as you think.

I have lost nearly $40,000 USD in the past month gambling on bustabit, primedice, and moneypot. You would think that I would have learned that I would have learned by know, but every time I have money in bitcoin, I want to gamble it. I even lost 10 bitcoin in one roll on primedice.

I made around $50,000 last month, so I was still able to live, but it's still affecting me. I know the money I am currently making won't last forever, and I need to save it, but it's hard.

It's just burned in my mind to gamble every time I have btc, and I don't know why.

I am a partner big btc company, and am paid in btc, don't want to say which though.

A suggestion I was given was, every time I am paid, to convert to fiat, but idk...

Any suggestions are appreciated..
I had the same like you actually,some time ago.
It was about 4 months ago,when bitcoin was not so popular like now ( but the gambling btc was getting bigger and bigger ).
I had recieve many payments in btc back then,about 1,3 and i lost it all on gambling,because i could not recover...
Just think about what you could do with the money you just lost(you can lose)

It is a great thing that you acknowledge you have a gambling problem.  There are several ways to at least lessen that urge to gamble.  Though it will need tremendous strength and courage to beat this crap.  But along the way you need help.  You can  seek help for underlying mood disorders like depression, stress, substance abuse, or anxiety.  This can trigger  gambling addiction  and can be made worse by compulsive gambling.  Even when gambling is no longer a part of your life, these problems will still remain, so it’s important to address them.

This is problem facing everyone which OP stated in opening post that each time he has some extra Bitcoins he feels to use them for gambling. You had made good money and you need to realize life doesn't offer opportunities of raising so much money. It will be netter convert that in fiat and say good buy to gambling forever. I am afraid if you keep gambling you will have no different fate than most people ending up at zero.

$40,000 USD and $50,000 USD is what you have or earn and you still gamble? I highly doubt your story to be real as it's sounds as if your trolling. There wouldn't be a sane person who would invest so much into gambling and then ask how to overcome or stop gambling. If you have too much money to burn, donate it to charity instead and get rid of your gambling habit.

You really have a big problem, keep remember you are just destroying yourself your future and your family which you support, if you cannot stay away from gambling than think that you are earning better from your company, so do not rely on gambling for your earning money, just play there for fun and always bet a smallest amount, with that you will be secured.

OMG, 40,000$ are serious Op.m I can't believe this. I have one question with you ARE YOU RICH KID? Or You are playing with your dad's money. Because ordinary persons will not take this type of risk. One more thing you are totally addicted to gambling. So our suggestions will not work out. So better make Docter suggestion and Your family help. Only these two can help you to come out from this.

OP - The amount itself you play with is huge. What do you do for your earning other than gambling ?

-Do you gamble to earn or its just with friends you gamble and dont know the limit?
- Its simple do you do online or go to casinos to play the game?
- If you really want to over come do one thing Kindly donate every day to someone who needs it whether charity, beggar or feeding poor people, paying education fees of children etc. Just do this for 15 days and see the difference by yourself.

I suggest you have a trusted relative hold your btc.

I suggest you contact Gamblers Anonymous.

I would offer more advice but the key for you is to have your funds frozen/held for you for a while.

Then attend a few meetings with GA and possibly go to a doctor to help prevent your addictive habits.


Hint look at my profile  I have 17,000 posts  most were done to help people.  And they help me not be tooo crazy with my demons.

I have done more then 25,000 posts online  since 2003  much better then getting high or gambling.

This is the best advice on here.

You definitely need someone to help you store your funds, maybe your partner or parents? I know it will be hard, but you need to at least tell someone you trust about this problem.
I can't stress enough how important it is to contact a doctor or a psychiatrist and start treatment asap. It's not too late, but you need to take action before it completely destroys your life.
Remember that you could lose everything if you don't stop, you don't want to have to loan money and end up in serious debt.

IF gambling is making your life so bad and sad like this then you need to face it and tell your family and get help. You have a lot of money so use it to pay a psychologist to help you through this. You may need someone to keep you company and make sure you are not tempted. Perhaps your wife or close friend can hold onto your credit card and wallet password.

Because your losses affected you so much that means that you are not gambling for fun, and if you continue that you will not have a peace of mind as even you win you seem to have a feeling of discomfort, I think you have to stop it now because it does not do good into your life and that is destroying your focus on your other goal in life.

You better sublime this passion to gambling into something else. If you play soccer or any other sport game, start playing in it more. You'll have this feeling you can win or lose but in something less harmful

What I suggest you do is put it in a business. Start a company or something like that. Take your mind off gambling.

I used to have wild rides with gambling as well, just nothing to your magnitude. Got rid of the addiction in the end because I had a business that I invested myself into.

This is a good way.  You take the urge to gamble and turn it into a better habit.

It is depend on our willpower how serious we are to quit gambling, nothing can helpful if we are not aware of risks, the amount you are claiming is very huge and this can be very big problem for every to give up easily, you must thinking what you want from it and how you need to live normal life.

that is certainly true, without any willpower it would not be useful for those who want to get out of gambling. The mind is the main thing that can make us go from gambling, so we have a willingness to want to come out in the gambling then we should forbid our minds to think of gambling. Without it so, then it will not work

The thing is here its already a habit by you, some keep on working to change your lifestyle slowly, Its not a one day job or 1 month job, Try to focus yourself on something like new sports, or music if you are not a music person..XD
