You say you’re not blaming the customer support agent, but there’s very little if any practical difference between doing that and demanding answers from them you know they can’t give. Moreso, the subject matter you ask about is clearly intended to try to make them feel uncomfortable. It borders on a form of bullying or abuse.

And the truth is for all the support structures and funding in the world for problem gamblers, you cannot help people who willfully refuse to help themselves. Casinos don’t like regulation, nor does any other industry subject to it, but they do comply – and get no end of shit for it from people including you, when they ask for verification of your income, or lock an account displaying behavioural evidence of a problem or erraticism. Damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

Services such as GamStop, Gamcare, Gamblers Anonymous, The Samaritans not to mention the NHS are readily available and free, but you can’t force someone to use them.

I honestly don’t think gambling, thinking about gambling and being part of a gambling community is doing your well-being and mental health any favours – and that’s not an insult, it’s an observation that I sincerely mean in the kindest way. The whole industry and activity of gambling seems like it just upsets you.

what a pointless post.

[Mr Mr B WANTED $395 Blocked]

So i guess we can’t avoid making this personal and judgmental then.

Tatty bye then.

Personal comment is not a personal attack and disagreeing with someone’s opinion is not disagreeing with their right to exist.

You keep playing this victim card, when it’s clear for everyone to see that the majority are just trying to offer some advice.

Everyone is entiltied to an opinion, that’s what this forum is for I assume, that’s for bandit to decide, he’s in no way obligated to provide a platform for free speech.

I say it again though, no one is personally attacking you merely trying to offer advice from the observations we have made from this thread and many other over the last week or so.

You called everyone ignorant to the reality because they disagree with your chat log.

 

Get fucked, if you knew the dark places I’ve been due to “this reality” you’d be swallowing those fucking words. I find that genuinely insulting.. And you are being cryptic.. As fuck.

I don’t usually get the proper hump over shit posted online but youve rubbed me up the wrong fucking way. “muhhh people don’t agree with me they must not understand gambling addiction and depression”

 

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem – It’s that saying that has kept me from intentionally putting myself in a box, that and the image of my family crying.. I’m sure I’m not the only one to have felt this way on here at one point or another. Maybe it’s you who doesn’t understand

 

suck it up. Stop playing victim and get off your high horse. Y<span style=”font-size: 1rem;”>ou where a cunt to that chat agent and people didn’t like it. End of. </span>

Hi Eightblack….

I don’t know really what to say except your a decent Lad with morals & Like me have addiction problems. You seem very like me in the posts I’ve read off yours.

I was about to write some off my experience’s but this is not the place to do so and I’m not ready to talk about it. Let’s just say I’ve lost many friends & family too the ills off society.

Mr B must think we’re nieve to the dangers off society or something, is it bad that others just want to do their Job. NO its not at all. Because they’d lose it quicker than I can write this post If for 1 moment they actually cared for the gambler as I bet its in their contract.

C.S is not the salvation army. Why would they care, after all their on min wage & were out there gambling hundreds if not thousands a year. Imagine what they think about us gamblers.

@Mr B Gambling ain’t for everyone including you brother, take heed & try to stop brother, your killing yourself and any happiness you ever got from it, you need a long break and maybe look at quitting for good. Gambling has obviously fucked your thinking up, its a cruel world out there and sometimes we have to take the small wins in life.

You can see those comments as you will, be safe and be good brother.

Good Post Sir… I agree with everything you wrote too. ??

I’ll 2nd this post too, as I wrote above about MrB needing a timeout from Gambling.

MrB needs a dam holiday in the sun for 6 months with no means to gamble. ☀️??

Mr B. has nothing to be ashamed of and should not attract pity or be seen as stupid in what he has said. It’s a perfectly understandable reaction when he has seen first hand the effects of gambling addiction and how the faceless establishment reacts to it.

Now sure, the casinos are businesses and it is their duty to take as much money as possible whilst at the same time paying nodding attention to “responsible gambling”. It would be naive to expect them to do any more than this. But as a punter and a normal human being with all the empathy that comes with it, it’s hard not to be angered by the situation.

I agree that Mr B should probably focus his energy into more constructive ways of changing the status quo, but totally understand his anger. Please don’t beat up on him.

I agree here too, as we’re all like minded people on this board.. But and there always a but,its the paranoid way he’s reacting to posters that’s confusing us. As we’re not against him nor even dislike him, I personally wrote above what my real feeling are to his posts and I hope MrB can take the advice without feeling ashamed or attacked.

Laters brother.. ??

If its off any importance Google voice recognition is almost complete and should be in operation by 2021/22 with AI giving you the standard responses… By 2032 we’re all fucked as AI decides we’re all fucking nuts. ?

Uh oh he’s mentioned AI *waits patiently for JB* ?

 

Thank you for that other post mate ? you seem like a very decent bloke yourself

[Mr Mr B WANTED $395 Blocked]

Eightblack, I dunno if you noticed but this thread subject matter isn’t about me. The opening post doesn’t state it’s about me. I haven’t hinted allured or begged anyone to think it’s about me. It’s…. shock horror, about the subject matter which turned personal because people thought it was about the CS when clearly it isn’t about him/her or blaming them.

Is it possible that we have gone completely off track here for the wrong fucking reasons ? Take a look through the thread, at least one person noticed and tried to tell you all, what is 100% clear to see.

The names of the two people in the chat log and the name of the casino have been deliberately removed. There’s no high horse, just a bunch of people completely missing the thread point.

I am glad someone could see it.
