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.

Gosh, I'm so sorry, dude. According to what you said, your addiction has gone too far.
IMHO, instead of asking for an advice from other users, you need to go visit a good addiction specialists.

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..

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.

Sorry to tell you, but no one here is going to give you any advice that you haven't already heard before. If you can afford to blow $40k in one month on gambling, then you can afford professional help if you really and truly want help in overcoming.

My advice, learn poker, pay for coaching, win.

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.

I dont know so much about this post. Claiming you making 50k a month I'm sorry but no. I dont believe you one bit. Rather take the 40k and invest it into moneypot. Be on their side. You have already seen what happens when you go against the casino so now go with it .

If you are a Bitcoin fan I understand your unwillingness to convert your earnings to fiat. I have this suggestion for you: ask one of your parents or relatives to create a wallet and after receiving a payment transfer 90% of it to that wallet. With the remaining part you can either gamble or buy food and other things you need, it's up to you.

I'm really sorry to hear about your problem. I have a few suggestions to add to the other responses. I would encourage you to find other hobbies that you can enjoy, possible even hobbies that you aren't doing at home or that use a computer, such as: hiking, sports, bike riding. Something outdoors that will get your mind off gambling and that will keep you away from a computer. Another suggestion is to get some people around you that are supportive (not other gamblers). Maybe you could even find someone that would keep one of the keys to a multi-signature wallet, so that you can still get your paycheck in bitcoin, but would require someone else besides you to make decisions on where your money goes. I hope you get help. Best of luck to you!

ggeeezzz $40,000 is a big money to lose, and its good that you can be able to live. i think you should stop your habits in gamble, try other activities, to distracting your mind about gamble, i know its hard, but if you really serious to stop gamble, then you can. it always a war in your mind, but trust me, every gambler can stop their habit in gambling, as long as they want and they serious with their word.

I was very bad for gambling every penny I made. My suggestion would be to invest X amount of your BTC salary in to silver and gold. You can buy direct from JMB and Provident using Bitcoin and it kinda gives you that fix that gambling does. Your gambling it goes up and you start setting yourself targets of X amount of gold and silver. Kinda addicting in a good way. Also the advantage of having it in metals is the fact it's not readily available to gamble. Takes a tiny bit effort to sell which gives you time to clear your head and think about what your doing.

Yeaaa exchanging your physical money to bitcoin have a bad side effect for gambler.
Bitcoin give a very easy access to any online casino, no need any ID verification, no name and nothing.
Your whole story tell me that you have serious problem gambling addictively, go find psychiatrist and tell them your story.

I admittedly had a huge gambling problem. I'm not proud of that or the things I did. An event in my life started me investing in precious metals and it worked for me. It gave me the gamble I needed and helped me focus on other opportunities. Yes I still gamble and enjoy it. It give me a high like nothing else can. Do I need to seek help? No I don't think so. In the past yes I did. For the past five years I have gambled and controlled it. I've accumulated more savings in the past 5 years than the previous 20. Just my story and giving a perspective of what worked for me.

so you are gambling in stock market now? instead gamble in casino?
i think it might work help you out from gambling trap, in casino you will feel trapped to play over again and again.
investing in stock market will let all your money going up and down for long term and you will not withdraw it for long term and you can not gamble it in casino. but maybe a professional help still needed in case you are addicted to gamble again.

Not the stock market. I just buy physical gold and silver and store them in SD boxes. It's my way of saving money. I also study mintages of certain coins and have successfully flipped many coins for 2-3 times what I paid for them. Like I say I still gamble, but professional help is a waste of time. In order to stop gambling you have to want to stop. I don't, I can control it though and not go crazy off the rails. If any of you get the time, watch the movie Owning Mahoney. There's a scene at the end where he's asked a question. That line has always stuck with me.

okay it is not a stock market , physical gold and silver are the most popular investment to protect your wealth.
many people around me do same thing here purchasing gold and silver every year.
if you think professional help are just wasting time then it is okay, and you mean the movie Owning Mahowny?

'The right to privacy matters'

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.

That's a lot of money you wasted there my friend. Think about it if you only kept those money how much will you have now. So my suggestion to you to stay away from gambling is to find alternative way to ease your boredom . Or just control yourself not to gamble.

Moneypot has a investment lockout feature set it for 10 or so days and throw your btc into it instead of gamble. It helps you build self control and you can't get it out till lockout is over. When that's done take a small amount out gamble then lock it for another 10 days keep doing this until you regain control. It helps and you can thank me later.

When it's in lock out you can keep depositing into the investment btw so you basically save your money and maybe earn some from the investment. The bankroll is so big your losses will be far less than going nuts betting. And you may actually gain btc more often than not.

That's a big problem indeed, it's already a gambling addiction. As a first step, I think you need to realize that you already have a gambling problem. You have to set to your mind that you have already lost a lot of money, and you don't want to go beyond that (i.e. break some relationship along the way) because of gambling. Let someone else be in charge of your money, or convert it to fiat and make some investments or just put it in a bank. Close all your online betting accounts, spend your time with family and friends and do some interesting stuffs to forget about gambling.

Find ways to entertain yourself that you don't need to spend too much money. Like playing games, watching tv series, watching porn. Or play poker only on freerolls, play on primedice with faucet.

I believe if any one wants to come out of these gambling habits, it is better avoid using computer first. Just spend more time with your other outdoor games and also you can make a real friends to spend more time outside. As long as if you can avoid computer then one can come out of online gambling addiction faster way.

My advice is to not gambling on that kind of gambling who have provably fair. When you win $50,000 last month it's better to stop and gambling on another type of gambling, like sportsbook.

One thing is very sure in gambling is loss at the end, if we gamble for longer time. So once if you made some profits, which you already made so you should have stopped by now and use that money for other purpose. Anyway you already lost most of your profits but still if you want to overcome this gambling issue then only way is stay out from computer for some time and spend your free time with family and friends and keep yourself busy in outdoor activity until you have feeling that you can control yourself. Good luck to you.

So the problem is if you had the bitcoin available in your wallet you send it directly to gambling sites, my suggestion for you is send it to any kind of investment before you go to gamble your money .in that case you will not have any available money in your hands and you need to wait before you can widraw your money.
