but many of the gamblers were found not to really know what they actually want, then i want you to see gambling for having fun and being entertained and nothing more.
True, addiction can sometimes deny us the ability to quit at once but over time, you can quit. Even if you don't want to stop it at once you can restrain your self bit by bit and gradually you might get a hang of not gambling anymore. It takes courage for a gambler to stay so long away from his gambling activities. There's are so many things that might be tempting but he would have to resist at all cost.

Quiting gambling is more easier to say then done although the gravity of what can lead to such decisions should as well be considered, yeah it is necessary for anyone who feels it is time to quit based on the experience they had, to me i will rather prefer or call it a break than quiting because quiting might not just be so easy, most people says they are quitting gambling come back and become even worst, surely gambling can be very frustrating if considered to be approach as means of getting rich scheme whereas it is just a game that shouldn't be taken too serious, gamble within your limit to avoid regret.

I have been a heavily gambling person for a lot of time from August 2019 up until recently when I decided to quit, people often lack the courage to make a bold decision, the decision of not gambling anymore.

Quitting gambling is a hard decision to make, we should not deceive ourselves that the moment we just said it then it will come to pass as we have said, things don't world like that, if e truly want to quit, then we will less talk about it, because the more we are talking on it, people will start bringing in their various suggestions as well as observations, so i don't see it as lack in courage from most of the situations seen, but many of the gamblers were found not to really know what they actually want, then i want you to see gambling for having fun and being entertained and nothing more.

The best time to stop is when you haven't gotten too deep in it , like being an gambling addict you will need X2 or even more than the effort a normal gambler will use to stop gambling, because you didn't just get addicted to it over night, it was a gradual process so for one to stop it will also takes or requires some gradual process too.

To be honest not that hard it all depends on the gambler, because once your mind is made you can actually pull it off with more stress. If you see is not impacting any positive effects to your lives rather is endangering your health , I will advice such folks to stop

Quitting gambling is not difficult, what is difficult in my opinion is getting used to not doing the activity, not much different from when you just broke up where the difficult thing is forgetting the beautiful memories with your partner and also getting used to not doing something that is usually attached to you, that is the hardest part for someone to get out of their habit.

So for the matter of intention and courage in my opinion it is something easy, but the hardest thing is as I said above, getting used to not doing the activity and what is also quite difficult is forgetting the fun moments such as the success of getting a big win like you have had before, most gamblers fail to resist the temptation and end up playing again

Quitting is not a wrong move, but the problem is we often break those words. I could say why. Because we are gamblers and we gamble despite losing money many times. Taking a break is likely possible, but putting this to an end is somewhat, yeah, going to be a big challenge. In fact, OP, you still have a list of gambling sites to play, which means that your heart is still there, and that is what also happens to others.

I believe the best thing we can do is to limit our time and bankroll. With limited time and money, we can somehow slow down our gambling habit. It couldn't be easy, but having a reason could make it possible.

Well since I posted this thread I have not been gambling at all and the best part I don't see any urgency of some inside urge to go gambling again. I am convinced now that our brain and our self determination is a great tool at our disposal to achieve anything we want if we want it for real. As much as how strange it may sound I want to thank Pragmatic Play for giving me those 5 consecutive super bonus lost games as I would have never been able to quit gambling otherwise.

If we ain't addicted to gambling but just one of those irregular gamblers, it's always easy to quit at any given time once the decision is made up
Yes; but, I think many won't still do it because we don't see a problem with it either. In fact gambling is an addition to our life to make us happy and provide us other benefits like socializing with others and then making extra money sometimes.

I really it's worth celebrating seeing an addicted gambler quits.
Who? You? Maybe, but I think not really for those who just quit, as I think the negative feeling is still there. It can be a mix up of emotions like they are worried if what will be their life now without gambling and then there is also annoyance with it. But they might also feel a little happy, thinking this is some kind of a punishment to the casino that scams them. They will say like> this casino won't ever get money from me anymore. Hell yeah...ignore them.

I don’t know why OP thinks quitting gambling is easy, a lot of people have prayed so hard to see that they quit gambling but it is difficult for them because they are addicted to it and being an addict makes it difficult to quit something you’re addicted to. Op might be lucky that it was easy for him to quit but that doesn’t makes it easy for everyone else to quit.
I don’t think there is any need to quit gambling if you’re not doing anything bad, if you gamble responsibly and don’t get addicted to it then you’re safe. Carelessness is what gets you addicted that you will have to worry about quitting because you’re losing too much to gambling.

Quitting gambling is easy, but quitting being addicted is not. I think if the OP found it easy it's because he wasn't really addicted or maybe he made some change in his life that somehow or another replaced his addiction, only he knows.
It's difficult because to stop being addicted your body must be able to obtain, on its own and in a healthy way, the right doses of satisfaction.


When you said quitting gambling is easy, do you mean quitting not to gamble at all because if that is what you mean I think it is not actually easy because the needs and wants to gamble whenever you see your friend or whenever you heard someone win money in gamble will trigger you to gamble and you can not resist it especially when you have not made a good money from gambling and you have the intension of winning a huge amount of money from there. But quitting for some time is or can be easy but not quitting forever is not easy at all but it depends on individual, but quitting when you are an addict is very difficult and it will take the grace of God to stop.

Quitting or taking a break from gambling is not that easy, especially now that there are betting platforms everywhere around us both landbased and online. There is really nothing we can tell a gambler who is not ready to quit gambling from Quitting. It depends on the gambler in question to make a decision for himself and this is bravery on its own.

The best way we can save ourselves from getting ourselves in a crossroad where we have to make some challenging decisions is by consistently gambling responsibly and with amounts we can afford to lose. Aside this, the next option is to wait till we lose a very big amount of money before we decide on what to do with our lives. So we should choose wisely.

It will be safe when we have a lot of money and or finances that remain good even though we lose in gambling, but if we don't have a lot of money and get emotional when we lose at gambling, then we should also have a limit on gambling. Therefore, I personally have never been interested in any bonuses on any gambling platform. Because anyway, for me gambling with games that I like with a certain budget, at least makes me feel  more comfortable in betting not to pursue any targets to get bonuses. So yes, gambling is for fun and profit even though it is difficult, but at least we can be comfortable in betting because then our mood will remain good and safe in betting.
Even if you have a lot of money or we have a good finances, that doesn't mean we can risk huge money in gambling. We must really have strict rule to gambling so we will not tempting to chase the win. If we think that we already lose huge money in gambling, we must be brave to take a break from gambling and we must follow that to prevent the bad things comes to us. But many people can not say not to gambling anymore after they lose too big. They will still gambling because they think their losses will be change with the winning. If they know that they will still difficult to win in gambling, they will not trying to continue gambling but will stop gambling for a while. We are playing gambling to fills our free time and not because of money but we can forget that when we win the money.

People who are heavy gamblers are going through a lot during such incidents,and taking such decision has to come with so much boldness and intense discipline.Well I've come to realize that the best thing anyone can take after such experiences is a break;Not that it's solves the issue,but taking a break has a way of relieving and releasing the pressure and disappointed feelings over that period. Gambling is something that needs to be done moderately otherwise,the victims will lose themselves to regrets and they'll get exposed to several abnormalities.

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅

I'd wanna say congratulations on your bold steps -- ploughing oneself out of gambling is one of the most pain-taking processes in life AFAIK. I seen alot of comments like "it's easy for me, if I wanna stop wagering, I'll just make a wish, and like the flowers that blooms a garden, the urge would fade away".

So what happened was that I bought 5 times the bonus buy costing 500x the bet in order to enter there and during all these 5 times the maximum I got was 2.7x of my bet so I spend about x2500 my bet balance to get about nearly x15 of my bet balance, this is a super joke and super scam that you cannot find anywhere
Alot of y'all hit the sign in button like no tomorrow, but immediately a compulsive blockade shows up on your screens to read the terms of service, what do y'all do? Skip! Smh.
Why would you wanna buy bonus slots on a casino? Do you really think they'd set up avenues to lose more money to you? I might be wrong, but I haven't seen a casino that offers 100% on bonuses, talk more of making it a profitable route to desperate gamblers.

Once a gambler notice any malicious characters from the casino he is using regularly, he will reduce the amount he normally use in the casino.
Stake has been on the list for a long time but they're doing it in a random way. There have been complains on it in the past. Op I will make some recommendations of good casinos for you to test and see them. Niyvi, duelbits, Betfury, 1win can also be in the good casino list of yours.

Attractive bonuses usually motivate people to gamble without control. Gamblers shouldn't be carried away by these bonuses because some of them are not what it is on the surface. But I like OP's decision to take a break from gambling. When you start having a long streak of losses and it makes you angry and frustrated, it will be good to take a break. Taking a break helps you to reevaluate your strategies and budget with the aim of making necessary adjustments that will make gambling enjoyable and profitable. I always take gambling breaks especially when I observe that I have started gambling with what I cannot afford to lose.

Not only gambling, but quitting anything that gives you joy, happiness, and rest of mind is always very difficult to quit unless the thing is a treat to your health; that is only when you will decide to quit it completely so that you will live longer. I believe Swogerino will stand by his words since he was dissatisfied with the service he got from Stake Casino and sees it as a scam, and he also believes that other casinos will possibly act the way Stake Casino did, which is what gives him the drive to take the bold decision to stop gambling. Swogerino is not worried about losing his bet; he is only bothered that he was scammed with the 5 times bonus he bought at Stake Casino.

Gambling doesn't bring me much fun, if I win I feel positive emotions, but more often I make several bets in one day, I lose some of them, I win some, so my emotions are mixed, sometimes even neutral, if I lose more than I win I can get upset, but I definitely don't feel any fun. I think this is normal, because it shows me every time that gambling is an activity in which it is difficult to earn money and there is no need to build false illusions.
It is normal if you feel positive emotions when you win because we will thinks that winning on gambling is difficult but we can get it with our luck. Our emotion will be affect no matter what we get from gambling so that is why we must have control so we don't getting the effect of gambling. If people can have self control when playing gambling, they will not deeper in gambling while they just thinks that gambling is like other activities which they don't need to spend too much money. They will always remember how to treat gambling as an entertainment so they can manage their emotions and not interfere their gambling activity.

So many people would be safe if they had the guts to...
Talking is easy and doing it is difficult, whether they have the courage or the strong determination to stop gambling, whatever the reason they have, unless they are no longer on this forum.

I'm not sure even though they have the determination and strong guts to stop gambling, if they are still here, here the average campaign they follow is part of gambling, What's more, they have multiple betting experience with real success and they still see the gambling site, I'm sure that courage only lasts a month or two, then the bet is reset and they return to the gambling arena.

Maybe we understand the situation that occurs to users due to the actions of certain gambling sites (cheating) but when other reputable casinos offer something good and challenging, I'm sure they will register again and bet, maybe you could say I stopped gambling at that bastard casino, but I can't stop at the other casino, maybe.

People should be able to make bold decisions in decisive moments like this one, now very few casinos remain on my list of play, in fact there are only two, so far never such a brutal scam in either one of them, will update with other threads if that ever happens though I highly doubt it will.

Good decision. Although we can’t guarantee if the casino is really offering rig games or not but it’s important to stop if you don’t feel comfortable playing on the casino since you don’t having fun anymore which is the main goal why you gamble.

I’m still not experienced on requesting to closed my just because I lose since I immediately stop playing certain game if I think I’m not getting profit out of it since that’s already boring to keep playing.

We have a lot of choice to play and we are not bind to play on certain casino so just keep playing on casino that makes you comfortable!

If you want to quit, the most effective way to do it, is to just quit.

Making a public service announcement to quit has never helped anyone improve their chances of quitting. We will share our opinions with you just like we are doing now, and that is it. You still have yourself and addiction to deal with. There is no real advice here that would work for your other than the one you have told yourself.

Walk away from gambling silently. Exclude yourself from those casinos. Do all you can in your control to not have any thing that will make you go back. Totally, purge it out of your mind that it has no control over you. Replace it with stronger and habits you feel safer with. That is how you do it.

That is true, at the end of the day, you don't need to inform everyone about what you do in life. Do it quietly if you are sincere with your decision as other people don't care what you do in life. They will just give opinions and other suggestions but the bottomline is that you are the only one who needs to take care of your own business.
Actually this is really indeed not that easy on which at the time or moment that you will that get addicted with gambling then avoiding it will really be that a huge challenge. Yes its true that you can be able to quit up on your own if you are really that serious on quitting but if you are really that seeing that you do keep failing and still going back again and again then this is the moment that you would really be needing up to ask some help from other people like your loved ones or relatives or your wife. If ever you've failed on doing so then this is the time that you will be needing up some professional help on which this one isnt really that bad either but actually you can quit yourself on your own without needing of these things.

Control and self discipline and proper mindset will really be the key for you to be able to have such control and not really that getting addicted with it.If ever you do become that addicted and wants to quit up gambling then self discipline will really be that needed. For you to be able to make yourself that able to quit then you should be that needing up to have such control and mindset on quitting. Gambling should really be just that for fun and entertainment on which it will really be that recommended. So it will really be that best that you should really be know that you've been dealing into but honestly this isnt something that would really be that easy.

Quitting from gambling is not the permanent cure for losing, what about the losses made already in their numbers, are we not going to be regretting on them all, that is why we must understand that gambling is only for us to do while having fun in it and the moment we subtract this out of it all, then we are not going to meet up with our targets for gambling and this will only leads to frustration and pain for losing, but as i used to say, its more better to reorientate and have a change in mentality that gambling is not a venture we can go into and make money, instead we use our money for it and earn the fun thereof.
Wrong. It's actually the cure for the loss. This is not some kind of death of a relative thing, this is a continuous problem if you keep on gambling.
What he is doing is curing it by stopping and somehow he will save the money that should've been for gambling from now until he forgets about it.
It's okay to have fun in gambling but I say we will still keep on losing at the end of the day. What OP is doing is stopping that continuous losses and I think that's the only cure for it.
We cannot win against the house whatever we do so the real winners are those who quit gambling and never went back because they will never feel the losses again.
