Well Stevie lad I have to thank you for providing a code for GamBan. As a 44 year old man who has gambled since I was 11 years old with more ups and downs than a whores knickers, I have decided to finally quit. The reason for this is I have finally realised I am no good at it. Another reason is my new bank account which tells me by month how much I am spending on gambling. Whilst I have only been doing in my head 20 here 30 there and then on a weekend night a couple of hundred it all mounts up. 6k in 3 months and I didn’t realise my problem. Thing is though I love gambling. But it is no shock that at 44 I owe very little money out but also own very little. I am now gonna focus on my next 44 years or whatever number I am given and only spend my money on me and the family and our futures. Please carry on with the videos as they do give great entertainment, and will help me stay off the gambling as it’s like a fix without the cost. Great work fella.

Best of luck with that Barry, that is a decent account you have there with it bringing to your attention how much you are spending, it is a powerful tool to have the amounts you are gambling and losing written down and all added together so you can see the ultimate figure, it is how i stopped myself doing my absolute balls in in the bookies on the roulette on a regular basis around 2010/11 – my loss figure was close on £72,000 for the year, snapped me right out of it!

It is really hard to take because like you say, would they have given you the money back if you would have lost, well no they wouldn’t but if you had gone to them and said hey, we didn’t use my card, you have to give us the money back…. they would have done and it is that what they are probably protecting against. Some casinos “let you off”, some, when the amount is a couple of hundred quid for example, will accept multiple proofs of identity from both people and then tell you not to do that again but unfortunately, when it is an amount like has been posted, they just aren’t going to budge, it is a right pisser but one to definitely learn from and only deposit in the future using your own card.

I’m going to look like a bit of a twat now tbh as this was the thread i was posting my Reel King progress on and it has kind of been a bit hijacked lol – I will continue to post my progress for those that want to see it but don’t feel you can’t reply to the subject that has been on here the last couple of pages too.

I just deposited at Videoslots, literally just. I put £2,500 in and i am straight to £8. What has happened so far in this thread is enabling me to tackle the game at a little bit of a higher stake from the start…. well check out this madness hardly anything in….

Bonkers again, almost feel like wow i wanted a little bit of a session but quite simply, that has to be withdrawn immediately! I started pressing start on £8 stake at 22:45:22 that is 22 seconds and 45 minutes past 10…. i hit the win at 22:47:47 and to be totally honest, most of that was probably spent accessing and climbing that ladder lol
