What ever you can start on your own without being forced, you can as well stop it with a strong decision. If you are not addicted to gambling, you can easily stop it despite that it's not just going to be a sudden stop but you can stop it if you are determined. The person that can battle with stopping his gambling interest is someone that is so addicted but if you take gambling for fun, you will stop when ever you want.
Gambling is something that we can handle without even falling into addiction because if because when you gamble with the interest of just having fun moments it would be more better than just gambling for profits, yes we gamble for profits but that doesn't mean we should do away the pleasure/fun we regularly derived from it. Gambling is good when you don't position yourself into winning alone because with that it will easily create addiction and whatever that creates can never be stopped so easily.

This is a bold decision because now you would like to stop playing gambling, and I saw and read some of the articles and studies that gambling addiction is one of the worst than the drug addiction because its doesn't affect at all the person but also on the surroundings and it has a lot of damage its related into a large scale of money. But its good to have a cut losses or try to recover.
Upon reading his statement, it just came to my mind that @op is part of the signature and related to the casino. I guess it's hard to contribute at all regarding gambling or, let's say, avoid gambling in that case basis. Its kinda ironic if you want to quit gambling but still in the gambling environment.
You made a good decision @OP, not many people willing to do that, I hope you can able to stop your gambling and not create a new account on another casinos. It will be hard for you because you're participating in gambling campaign and you're mostly talk about gambling, at some point you will have a temptation to back gambling.
But, let's see in the next time, whether @OP creating this thread for get motivation or only seek for validation lol.
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
I understand with your point, usually people who talk more are only seek for validation instead of doing it for themselves.But, let's see in the next time, whether @OP creating this thread for get motivation or only seek for validation lol.

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.
Making decisions is quite a huge task especially when it's been associated with one being addicted to one thing or the other, cause it involves the whole inner workings of the mind to take such bold steps to quit what one has been holding up for years now. I'm not saying it's hard but then it takes alot of patience to outrun that, and yes just as one involved in smoking find it hard to give up easily on that that's how it is for gambling but if one can possibly stand on their words and engage themselves in something else rather than gambling then one is sure of stepping out that mess.
In essence, it depends on how a person thinks about understanding gambling itself in his life, so this is subjective and we cannot suppress it from one point of view, some people still gamble because they are addicted, or for fun or other things that make them comfortable interacting in gambling with enthusiasm every day or every week, and when someone stops, they must also go through a different process, both in terms of their method or even their motivation to stop gambling, but I also believe that if they have a strong determination and strong principles, stopping or not is easy for them, even though it takes time.
Cold turkey may not be the right way for 80% of people who is dealing with addiction, the gradual decrease will be the most effective in long run so yeah taking the bold decision might be tough but dealing the withdrawal symptoms is much harder though and chance of relapse is higher with cold turkey so they person who replase could be more aggressive and if this things happens repeatedly it just reduce the self confidence to the bottom level.

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.
Quitting gambling entirely is literally not the only way to staying safe just as emphasized in the title of this thread given above, because a user can still gamble responsibly and be safe, if only you could avoid stopping been greedy and stake with an amount you can always afford to lose. Because what I could noticed here was an individual struggling with getting addicted to gambling due to his/her irresponsible gambling pattern or decision making, who opted you to self-excluding yourself from Stake casino, thinking that was the best solution after failing to hit a reasonable multiplier after buying 5 bonuses and the highest you could hit was 2.7x, which is quite discouraging. Hence, self excluding one self from an online casino is not the only way to staying safe, if the individual fails to have self control and strong discipline to gamble responsibly at all cost. 
Finally, after starting numerous threads, ranting about scam casinos and game providers over and over again, you're quitting. Perhaps that's the best thing to do. I could smell your frustration every time you open a thread against Pragmatic Play and Stake. But you kept on playing, anyway. And then you lose again, got emotionally carried away, start another thread about the "worse scam", play again, lose again, open another angry thread, and so on.
What he has shown is not a scam at all. He has simply had bad luck in the short term, which happens many times, and the more you play the more times it will happen. Casinos make a lot of money without having to scam anyone.
Agreed. Gambling in casinos is designed in such a way that gamblers lose and the house wins. Apart from that, lady luck seldom smiles at us. More often than not, she isn't around. So, if we lose, are we expecting otherwise?
I'm curious, though. If it's an indefinite exclusion, you can reactivate it anytime, right? Have you attempted this in the past? You mentioned before that you reinstated your Stake account.
The worst thing is not Stake's exclusion, it is that there will always be casinos available from which he has not excluded himself if he feels like playing.
This is what I'm worried about. I hope I'm wrong, but OP seems to have the penchant of playing again with that which has already disappointed him, not once, not twice, but probably "several times". If he played again and again a game provided by what he labels as scam and in a casino he also labels as scam, and be frustrated each time, how likely is it that he will eventually get back to what he already turned his back on?
I'm hoping OP will succeed this time around.

A person does not decide to quit gambling after being cheated or facing maximum losses in gambling, but I think Op has definitely shown maximum patience here. Gambling depends on luck, maybe you were not lucky enough to win, that's why you tried your best and did not win, in this case I would say you retire for a while and use some strategies.
You cannot stand in the right place by completely moving away from gambling, but I think it is normal to participate in gambling for fun. So you watch and enjoy gambling not for earning money but for fun, and you enter into gambling 3-4 days a week and retire the rest of the days.

It needs courage to really stop gambling for temporary or even forever. Most people will hard to do that because the temptation from gambling can makes them return to casino in other days. They will think that they can playing other gambling games which will gives them a chance to win so that is why they are difficult to stop gambling even for just a few days. Maybe those gamblers no need to stop gambling but they need to reduce their gambling activity and have a strong self control from avoiding playing gambling. That will help them to limits their gambling activity and not too often visit the casino because they will realize that playing gambling needs to be moderately.
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.
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.
op did mention he was a heavy gambler since 2019 that is a long time and it means that he was pretty involved with gambling for quite some time it is not an easy habit to break Quote
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.
it depends on the level of addiction i agree that some addicts have their brains wired up too differently just for quitting to be so easy but we still can commend op for taking the decision anyway to quit gambling that is still a huge step regardless whether he was an addict or not 
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
of course there will be regrets and worst of all there could be some serious financial damages but at least you have already quit and there will be no more damages to add onto the existing ones now what you need to do is to move on from your previous losses and if applicable try to solve the damage gambling has done to your financial stability
Quote
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.
it should be known that the winning money aspect of gambling is only a bonus some people hope to use gambling as a stable source of income but you should be stable enough to depend on gambling like that otherwise you are just setting up yourself to fail 
If you want to quit, the most effective way to do it, is to just quit.

I agree with you. When you see the casino taking advantage of you, you should quit. I've only used them back when they were running Prime Dice. Never used Stake, but have read some stories, so I'm not going to. I'll stick to sports betting. Anyway, the old PD was pretty good and seemed fair, that's why they made a lot of money and created huge user base that moved with them to Stake. Nowadays, I guess they are rolling in it, so they don't care that much about reputation or happiness of their players.
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.
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.

Gambling brings us financial greed along with pleasure to which we lose big. Gambling addiction in one place is the dream of winning big. Different attractive advertising videos different offers different events attract more and more an addicted gambler. but man can do everything so quitting gambling is definitely possible
Easy to say but on the moment or time that you will really be that on the situation on which you are really that getting addicted then its really that not easy to get out or resolved out specially if you are a person whose that greediness is on the peak. If you are really that having no control when it comes into your greed then it will really be that something that makes out that huge problem into your finances. It is really just that too easy on giving out some advises for you to quit up gambling but if you are on the situation then it will be that ending up for you whether you do really failed up on doing so or will be able to quit up on point.
Each person does have that different level of self control and discipline towards themselves specially when dealing up with gambling or anything that they've seen that it could be that giving out some negative impact or consequences towards them. If you are mindful about into the situations that you are into then you will be having this kind of initiative on what are the things that you would gonna do and its just depending into your common sense.
