Hi,
i am gambling now for a few years.
I started with a big win of 15.000,- Euro. Don't ask for the corresponding deposits ;-)
Until now i played in many online casinos and i have made a lot of experiences with different gaming providers like microgaming, playtech, netent and what so ever.
Yesterday i played again a netent slot. I hit there a bigger win. I have to say i play only for entertainment but i can now say it is no entertainment. It is a hard business for the casinos to increase their profit.
Coming back to my bigger win: What happened? After this in more than 500 spins no win occured. Absolutely nothing.
This happened not only one time this happened in nearly second session when i hit a bigger win.
The aim behind this is clear. As a gambler you think this can't be and so you go on. The same effect occurs: Your balance went to zero in minutes and the operators want you to make further deposits.
Next effect: You spend 100,- Euro and you lose them. Then you spend a further 100,- and then some winnings occur, so you climb up with your balance to nearly 200,-. So you have back your losses. More than 200,- will not happen; even when you play for hours. You think "hey it is my origin deposit. Give it one more try" But at one point the eating up phase starts again. The lovely zero comes back ;-)
I played thousands of sessions and this pattern you will find in every casino. This is a part of the RNG. I am sure because the aim is to use simple psychologig patterns to increase the profit.
This is so boring because it has nothing to do with random. It is a RNG, but i think these phases are part of the program.
I think every gambler made this experience.
I do not want make big winnings, i want to have entertainment. But i could see it is only a business for the operators. To deposit 500,- Euro and for this you get only a hour of entertainment is absolutely too heavy. And in the past this happened more often.
Sure in some rarely sessions there was a bigger winning of 500,- - 1000,- Euro. But for this you have to play days or you have really big luck.
When i see my deposits and my winnings it has became a too expensive hobby.
And if you be honest it is a big waste of time.
I reached now the point to quit gambling. This depends on some bad experiences in the last months. There were too many withdrawal issues. If you see all the complaints of other gamblers and pending periods of 2-3 days, i come to the conclusion not to be treated in that way anymore. If i spend money i expect to get my legitimate winnings fast. At one place i had to wait for a month, which is totally absurde.
They collect your deposits in seconds and then they delay the withdrawals. Unacceptable. But this an old story.
What i find extremly disturbing is the fact that some casinos totally disrepect your request of a final account closure, even when you mentioned that it should not be possible to reopen it. They let you reopen the account after a few hours of a closure. Again and again (I have placed now a complaint against such a casino)
"We believe in responsible gaming?" It should be written: "We believe in getting much money as possible!"
Note: i do not have a problem with losses, but with the whole online gambling system. The above mentioned patterns are too obvious when you play for a longer time.
I will quit now until there is a change.
But i think this will not happen, because the operators would not earn as much money they do now with pending periods or whatsoever.
It's only my opinion and i wanted to share it with other gambler. Please do not trying to convince me from everything is perfect and i only have to find a very good casino. I know them nearly all ;-)
It is only a report of my experiences.
