Am I wrong

Yeah, you’re wrong. Go on his YouTube channel and watch his updates while not streaming ?

Paul is the most even-tempered streamer out there. No side. Always thinks about his audience. No affiliation money – just his own money. Wears his heart on his sleeve. Doesn’t encourage any of us to gamble. Can’t really think what else anybody could do to show themselves as a totall genuine guy.

Haha what nonsense. The guys clearly a troll. if he’s lost all his money then he’s a fool and deserved it.

you can’t be on here preaching RG and defending the sites owner, it’s a oxymoron. It’s that simple.

gambling addiction isn’t a addiction, it’s a choice.

it he’s lost everything and in is a bad way he certainly wouldn’t come to a small site like this to help himself, it’s a lie and laughable.

you clowns Commenting are just as bad, a guy loses his life and all he owns, yet comes on the bandits website for help!!! HahahahahaahahhahahahhaaahhHHhHhahahahahaahahah!!! Oh! HahhhahahhhHh

Your 1st sentence doesn’t make sense. Your second sentence uses the word ‘oxymoron’ incorrectly.

As for your third sentence…If alcoholism, drug abuse and smoking are all choices, then I agree with you that gambling is a choice. You clearly have never had an addiction. Good for you. For those of us who do have addictions – that is, patterns of behaviour which are routine but which are self-harming, we understand where this guy is coming from. Saying he has an addiction doesn’t absolve him from responsibility. Far from it. It places the rest of us – and his family and friends – under an obligation to offer support to help him break that habit that he has got into. The best advice on addiction tends to come from former addicts.

If that makes me a clown, then I am very happy to be called a clown 🙂

Has to respond to this. Here’s my story and how to get out of the mess your in. Listen and forget what others tell you.. simple

6 years ago I was 14k in debt. Loans, credit cards, catalogs, phone contracts, pay day loans. Anything I could get my hands on. I had a cocaine and gambling addiction..

 

One morning at 5am after walking out of a casino. Broke. No money left. And I mean I maxed everything out I was walking home and stood on a train track bridge. I wanted to jump. But was too scared. Nobody knew about this 14k debt.

 

I eventually came down from the bridge and walked home. I lived with my dad.. I came home and told him I was 14k debt. He said… it’s done now.. you can’t do anything about it.. get on with your life.. so that’s what I did..

 

I ignored all the debts completely.. after 6 years they are statue barred. Forget bankruptcy.. after 6 years the debts are gone.. so the years went by, I ended up with 5 ccjs.. when you get a ccj you can ask the court to pay the minimum.. so I was on the dole.. I pay £1 per month for 6 years for each of those ccjs.. after 6 years they are gone.. I will still owe the money but I won’t be paying them a penny as the ccj leaves my credit record and they will have to take me to court again to get another ccj of they want there £1 a month again..

 

So Yes, just ignore them. Honestly.. pay your mortgage and ignore the loans and credit cards.. when they come at you with a ccj you have 30 day’s to pay anyway before it goes on your record. It’s not all as bad as you think..

 

I can’t be trusted with money at all.. I still gamble. I have a credit card. I don’t owe anything on it , I snapped it up lol.. I won 2.7k last month, clicked withdraw, reversed it and did £20 spins on kong megaways. Lost the lot.. but I’m not in debt..

 

Gambling gives you serious anxiety and depression. It ain’t worth it.. ur not chasing money. Your chasing dopamine that your brain releases.. it has nothing to do with money..

 

I watch bandits videos to stop me gambling. Plain and simple. He’s an idiot. He’s gaining off depressed people with anxiety.. but hey.. it’s a cruel world.. getting money from people who sign up? He has no idea what it’s like for these people. Most of them suicidal yet he’s making cash off them.. another story for another day..

 

Debt is east to get out of. My credit file has recovered. Yes I have 5 ccjs. But aqua have given me a card back, after my last debt with them was statue barred..

 

Don’t jump. Don’t do anything stupid.. don’t pay them.. just get on with your life.. in 6 years you will be debt free if you listen..

 

And I stop gambling when I don’t have access to cash.. get wages paid to mrs.. if you don’t have cash you can’t gamble..

 

U can’t win it back.. uve gone too far.. but in 6 years you can be debt free.

 

Enjoy life..

Not good advice, my friend. This isn’t how it works and, from what you have said here, things aren’t as you think they are with you either. Far better to face up to the debts – he’s not like you – he has a wife and kid – and take the long, hard but, ultimately, more secure road to financial and mental health.

In a similar position to you, m8, so I know what that feeling is like. In a decent job but have been battling with gambling for about 20 years now. Have owed as much as £125000. House repossessed. Borrowed from friends and lied about what the money is for. Got to be brutal here. Are you being honest with yourself? You say the bank isn’t lending to you but would you have used any extra loans to actually reduce your debts? Or would you – as I have done all too often – have taken the cash and gone gambling? Don’t go down the joint account route. Sorry. It’s got to be more brutal. Close your accounts and pay her the money you earn. If you do a joint account, and you fuck up, she will end up having to carry that burden too. That’s not fair on her. You have to put your trust in her on this – that’s a real gamble. But, if you don’t, she won’t ever be able to trust you again. Get yourself into a debt management plan. Stepchange is free. I’m with Payplanplus – also free. My debt is still £51000 and I have been paying for 10 years. Still got 4 years to go. I’ve stopped blaming everybody and everything else. I’m blaming myself but I also have started to be kinder to myself – you need to get into that place too. Once you have sorted out a DMP, get some therapy for the gambling. I gamble because I get bored/lonely/depressed and – let’s be honest – I enjoy the false high it gives me. Sounds pretty shit, doesn’t it? But it’s an addiction – and that is what addictions do – they fuck you in the head. Then, use Debt Camel (website) to get advice on how to make unaffordable lending complaints to all the fuckers who have lent to you and ignored your credit record in order to stuff their pockets with your cash. It sounds like you have plenty of good reasons to get refunded the interest you’ve paid out – and don’t worry about the gambling on that front. Be open about it. Most of these sewer rats will reject your complaint and you’ll have to go to the Financial Ombudsman but it’s worth doing. Addiction is a mental health condition and lenders are required by law to take it into account. There are a lot of steps to take and your situation will take time to sort out. If you really do want it sorting, accept this, value the small things in life again and be kinder to yourself.

Ha! I think somebody said during the stream that he looked like he was coming round to collect the bins 🙂

Take it that there’s a gang of anti gambling twats reporting bandits videos

arseholes

Videos don’t get removed by people m8. It’s all done by bots set up by YT to monitor content. Nobody needs to report the Bandit. This one is simply a case of ‘the computer says ‘no’!’

I’m not going to go as far as name calling but these posts do get annoying after The Bandit has already explained countless times he is playing within his means and with the profit he has won from previous sessions.

You say you are an addicted gambler but you have it under control now well thats great and I’m happy for you but you need to realise that you are comparing yourself to The Bandit when making these claims but the difference is when you was at your worst and doing your bollocks in you would have been gambling with everything you had no doubt  (assumption but most compulsive gamblers do) where as The Bandit can afford to play these stakes and even if things go tits up he can still live comfortably as its from a pot of money won.

The Bandit, I’m afraid,  is in denial. His play is compulsive and that’s what addiction is called. His play is also brainless. He has got himself into the mentality that losing potentially up to £160 grand is acceptable in some way. That’s the mind of somebody who is not thinking straight. This was a desperate video and it’s worrying to see all the Bandit acolytes baying for the blood of anybody who dares to speak against it. It feeds a megalomania in him and threatens the security of his immediate family never mind his wider circle of friends and supporters. Will he get away with it? Probably not. Disabling comments on YouTube confirms my suspicions that somebody who once posted videos with funny commentary and a bit of a thrill has receded finally into a very dark place.

The forum’s like the local pub only online. Just like you get all sorts spouting shit into the bottom of a beer glass, so you’ll get that here too. Doesn’t mean much – mostly people who write stuff online don’t really mean what they say (apart from me of course!?). I’d just chill and sit back. Enjoy the posts, observe and quietly reflect on the many and varied mysteries of the human spirit. It’s  being so different that makes us interesting. Happy NY folks?
