I still cannot deal with my $200 loss

I played at a certain casino and won their tournament with the price of $19. Later on, I played on their other games, and made profit. It reached to about $230. Finally, I told to myself, limit it to $200, then that's it. So, when it dropped down to $200, I requested a withdrawal. But I was contacted that I need to submit an email with a picture of my identification. No problem, it's easy. The hardest part was, they won't let me withdraw not unless I activate a payment processor. So to activate, I need to deposit $10 using webmoney. Ok, since I still don't have money right now, I'll wait next month, deposit it to my bank, then fund my webmoney, so that I can deposit the casino. But through waiting next month, I was tempted to gamble again, until all was lost. It was such a waste. I still cannot overcome it.

Hello rendevouz i think thats the bad part about gambling i mean when you get the hang of it you just cant stop that easily. Because your tempted to play and hope that you will earn more out of it. Well it is nice when your actually winning but when it comes to gambling the odds of losing is much higher than that of winning. I share the same problem with you though when it comes to losing it takes a while for me to recover from the bad feeling. Thats why as much as i can i stay away from any kind of gambling that way i will be able to safeguard my feelings and not to mention prevent any loss of money too. Thanks for sharing this experience of yours made me remember those times that im having the same problems too:)

Thank you also for letting me know that I'm not the only one here. I mean, of course anyone who lost money with gambling really had this bad bad feeling. And your right, I can't stop that easily. Especially when I was already on the winning edge, I just can stop from betting and betting. I really don't know about this kind of psychology. I should stop from visiting gambling sites. Anyway, thanks for sharing with me.

I am sorry to hear but technically you lost $19, I believe unless I am hearing wrong. I don't really believe in any legitimate online casinos but playing casino games, you can get carried away. I am sorry to hear.

Actually, I really didn't lose any money that's coming from my own. I joined the casino with zero amount, joined their free tournament, and I won the 19 dollars, that's real money, not money. It was withdrawable. Thanks anyway for sharing with my frustration.

I have never been to that kind of place.I might as well throw away my money as spend it in betting.
