I’m sorry to hear of your situation @routlem and didn’t want to read and then run.

The Samaritans (116 123) is a good starting point as they deal with all sorts of emotional issues.  They’ll listen to your problems will be able to signpost you to a service that is local to you.

Regarding the 2nd post, the Bandit did promote Gamban a few years ago and it is still a link at the top of every Backinamo page, but @Jimbo183 is kinda right in that the Bandit is mainly here as a content creator.

I hope you get the help that you need.

^^ Some web sites have the means of knowing if you’re using a VPN or not.  On UK gambling sites, VPNs are frowned upon and can get your account closed.  For non-UK gambling sites, I get the impression from this thread that the situation is the opposite.  In that a VPN (country spoofing) is required to circumvent the UKGC gambling laws.

The VPN is necessary because you can spoof another country, in Smgxking’s case, Ireland.  If you don’t spoof another country, then the crypto casino will see that you’re using a UK IP address and won’t allow you to sign up because of the UKGC laws.  Spoofing Ireland will get around those laws.

Stop ‘n’ Step has bonused Max Megaways (by BTG), but I have put a few thousand spins through it and haven’t bonused it yet.

I was a fan of Chips from late 2018 until corona, a time when he ramped up his content 3-fold.  It felt like to me that he was taking advantage of the lockdown stay-at-home orders.  Meanwhile, Stop’n’Step remained at the same posting frequency and the Bandit was posting every now and then.

Granted the Bandit has upped his content lately, but the difference between him and Chips is that the Bandit isn’t taking advantage of an economical or political situation.  He increased his content because he found another avenue of content, which is crypto.

It’s not unheard of for online casinos to have their own in-house slots.  If memory serves, Jackpot Joy had some slots that were theirs.  I agree though @Damo that it should be clearer otherwise it’s a conflict of interest.

£100 is my monthly limit on William Hill.  £150 on Videoslots.  No other casinos, so £250 all-in per month.

Everyone’s answers on here will be different / subjective.  There are no right or wrong answers, just down to how volatile you’d like to go.  Essentially, it’s you vs the random number generator.

On William Hill, I rotate the £100 on Invaders Megaways, Pig Wizard MW, Moriarty MW, Break Da Bank Again MW, William Hill MW.  I also sometimes play the William Hill version of Imperial Dragon.  Completely the same game as far as I’m aware, just different graphics.  If I’m feeling brave, I’ll add a in bit of Eye of Horus.

I get your frustration Seyahkram, and I’m fine with the language you used here (I’m not easily offended!) but I have a feeling that VS won’t return to this forum because of this.

Although VS could have acted on your wealth enquiries more swiftly, at the end of the day they’re only enforcing what the UKGC is asking them to do.  The UKGC is at the top of the blame pyramid.  They pretend that they’re interested in the welfare of problem gamblers, but they’re not really because their actions are pushing problem gamblers towards agents, crypto and illegal sites.  It is called virtue-signalling, and anyone from the UKGC reading this knows it.

Good find Centipede, and something for us to watch while we await the Bandit’s next upload 🙂

I subbed in May 2017, which I remember because DHV has only just come and he was playing that lots.

uBlock Origin is your friend.

I have 3 Firefox add-ons regarding cookies:

– I don’t care about cookies – suppresses those annoying “continue” / “accept” messages about if you want to continue with cookies or not

– Auto Cookie Delete – deletes cookies for 3rd-party sites, while keeping your primary sites logged in

– uBlock Origin – suppresses most internet adverts, blacklisted sites and also blacklisted cookies

So the only adverts I get on Facebook are to do with things I do inside of Facebook, being a primary site.  It’s not digging information from 3rd-party sites because I haven’t allowed it to

Imposing checks on £1000 lost in 1 day and £2000 lost across 90 days is rather disproportionate imo.  I reckon most middle-earning gamblers don’t deposit more than £250 per session and no more than once a week.  Anything over that would be financially unsustainable for most people.  The checks should therefore come in at £250 lost per week and £1500 lost over 90 days.  Then extreme players like the Bandit can show his affordability papers and still deposit £1000 per session.

What about slots terminals in bookies?  The machines can monitor how much you have put in and how long you have played, but can the staff behind the counter tell that you have lost £250+ in a machine?

Overall though, I’m in 2 minds about this.  It could help problem gamblers, but is the gov’t genuinely interested in helping problem gamblers or are they doing it in the name of ramping up their 1984 Orwellian agenda?

Does anyone remember Spinal Tap?

Back in 2018 I think, the Bandit was doing £1500 big bet buys on Spinal Tap which activated “rock mode”.  On one of his buys, it went for 11 heavy duty wilds, 11 being the max number.  These wilds got placed across reels 3 to 7, meaning that a symbol needed to match on reels 1 and 2 for the set to connect.  When it didn’t connect, the Bandit was like FUCK YOU!

Chips’ “legal team” will pick out a loophole in this before long.

if you gamble for a long time, you should know March is the worst month to gamble slots they don’t pay much, and by the middle of April they start paying again

Is there a reason behind March being the worst month to gamble?

For me, I find that January is the worst month.  My reasoning is because some peoples New Year’s resolutions is to stop gambling, which means less people in the pubs, arcades and bookies.  As a response, the slots are less ‘swingy’ due to them being played less than normal.  Then come February, 4-6 weeks into the year and a proportion of these New Year’s resolutioners will have broken their resolutions, go back to gambling and the slots become more swingy again.
