On the last video A TON of people complained on Youtube that the video was boring, same old games and only feature buy after feature buy. So maybe he just got fed up with them and decided to take a break. I get how some people might get bored but the guy should be allowed to play what he wants and how he wants it without the moaning brigade being that vocal. Now you can maybe politely suggest other ways of play but when you see tens of comments of “ugh most boring video ever, skipped through all of it” “what happened to the bandit” x 100 I can understand how he can get in full CBA mood.

Ahhh the big withdrawal anxiety. I’ve been there.

Bet365 are a major casino, and as long as you’ve verified your idenitification then you won’t have any problems.

If you’re not verified they might ask you for ID, a picture of your bank card and proof of address. It can be a bit of a ball-ache, but you’ll get there

Congrats on the win!

My advice is this:

1)Get rid of some of your casinos. If you have multiple casino accounts, shut them down by either self-exluding for the maximum timeframe or closing your account completely. I’d recommend the latter option as you may have problems playing at your ‘chosen’ casino if owned by the same parent company. Once you’ve shut a few of them down, stick to one or two and set stringent deposit limits on them – preferably casinos where you have to wait a week to increase your deposit limits (Videoslots), rather than just a day at some (Sky). This way, you cannot just set deposit limits at multiple casinos but still end up losing what you’d normally lose at just one. My advise is to do weekly deposit limits. I’m somewhat of an advocate for ‘controlled gambling’ when you have a bit of a problem, so rather than stopping completely, train yourself to be sensible in order to get the excitement factor and control back — It’s an important psychological adjustment. Of course, if you feel that the only way to get out of debt is to stop completely, there’s resources on ‘backinamo’ that you can use. Setting stringent limits and self-discipline really worked for me as I learned how to control my playing. I am now able to gamble a little, but fairly often and no longer have that compulsion to carry on, even if I cannot. I found that I actually made more withdrawals and at sensible times, rather than spaffing it all just to get that ‘little bit more’.

I like Argy’s analogy of smoking cessation. I used to be a smoker, but used nicotine replacement therapy for a long time (the sublingual lozenges) to help me quit. Stopping altogether isn’t always the best strategy. You need an aid and to operate will power/control.

2) Debt – as 1pstaker suggested, tackle the payday loans fast. Contact them indivdually if need be and get that interest frozen. Pay them back and never get one again. It’s a vicious circle, and if you continue getting them things will only get worse. If most of your debt is because of gambling, then the deposit limits will really help here. Set a target, and be frugal.

3) Don’t beat yourself up about it. Treat it as becoming wiser and more educated. We all make mistakes and lack judgement at times, and you won’t be the last by a long shot. You’ll have to bury the losses, accept them, deal with the situation you’re in and move on. Persevere and you’ll get there.

To give you some insight into my position – a couple of years ago I was £4000 in debt. I got my gambling in control (I didn’t stop, although I did have a month off). One day my girlfriend found out and I was terrified. She didn’t hit the roof and was actually really supportive. I woke up the next day and decided to reall sort my life out. I created a spreadsheet of all my out-goings and worked out how much I’d have left. I worked out what I could cut out to save money and actually really enjoyed saving money for a few months. A few months later I had a savings account with MY OWN money in it and an overdraft that I subsequently cancelled — debt free.

You can do it mate

One of, if not the best video you have done Bandit. Brilliant, I like these single slot sessions with a buy a bonus. The slot might play rubbish but it’s a damm sight more entertaining then white rabbit.

 

Be good to see a bit of that BTG chilli game again soon. Extra chilli?  I think it’s called.

 

Anyway keep up the entertainment thank you

Agreed. Great video. I like the fact he rarely does the single slot series — creates a bit of novelty.

It’s all random, with the exception of pre-determined slots that are influenced on previous play (e.g. pub slots). The bonus itself is just a winning spin with a graphical/more entertaining front page to the win. In most cases as soon as the spin is made that triggers the bonus, the slot already knows what it is paying you – so it’s random in the sense of the spin, but pre-determined in relation to the outcome of the bonus.

The exception to this is slots that are dependant on the choices that you make (e.g. picks that are a random selection to the player). These are rare, and still arguably random as you will have no idea which picks are the good picks or not!

Hope this helps, but I have a feeling I may have confused you further!

Would you say this includes Secret of the Stones for example? I can’t help but feel that your selections are pre-determined. My only real observation of this is the limited times I get any ‘wild help’, as the Bandit puts it, when I play it, though appreciate this is not exactly representative.

Would appreciate if you had any evidence to the contrary!

It was probably better just to close your account with Mr Green rather than to self-exlude. I think the main reason they closed your account with Redbet was because they have a duty to honour the self-exlusion on their sister site. The company who owns both Redbet and Mr Green open themselves up to litigation if you decide to bring proceedings in court against them for a loss of monies, as you could argue that you had a gambling problem and had self-exluded from one, but the company had not picked up your account with the other, thus breaching their duty set in law.

Self-exlusion denotes problem gambling, closing your account denotes nothing other than you no longer wish to be a customer — the latter is your best option if you want to continue using other casinos.

I sense this thread will not lose it’s bitter taste. The man apologised and think everyone should move on.

Close the thread maybe?

I recently went to my first casino and I was playing blackjack on a table on my own (was quite late like 4am) someone joined the table and the dealer placed some chips on my side bet and main bet saying the person wanted to play with me. I didn’t know what the etiquette was here whether I gave him some chips to play with or not so just kept playing but felt bad. I looked online after for I should’ve done but found nothing. What should I have done? And is there anything else similar to this that I should know for my next casino visit?

I’ve never been to a casino but the way I read it is that the player who wants to play with you is betting that you will win, so is betting on your cards as well as you.  So if you win he wins – no need to give him a share of your money.  If you lose he loses so you haven’t got any money to give him ?  I have certainly never heard of any etiquette which states that you have to hand over your cash to a bystander – contrary to the view of the multitude of African Gentlemen who frequent certain bookmakers down in London and seem to feel that if a number comes in after they have shouted it out behind you that you owe them a percentage of your winnings ?

 

I’d be surprised if this was the case. From my experience of casinos, you’re generally ‘encouraged’ to keep your hand to yourself at table games, at least this is true of 3 card poker. I’ve never experienced a player coming to the table to bet on whether you win your hand or not, as I’ve never seen odds displayed anywhere to advertise that method of play. Of course, I could be wrong — I often find it difficult to get on a table as for the aforementioned demographic of gentleman hogging the seats 😉

Are you asking if you should have given another player your money? If so, then you should not have given anything — why would you?

Just a quick note Kojak, of the 40,000 viewers i would get on the videos and of the 23,500 people that were subscribed, around 200 people a month would join through my links, not really 95% of my viewers that is it?

 

Your opinion is your opinion and that is all well and good but i’d say 99% of my viewers….. watched for free.

I don’t know why you bother explaining and rationalising mate. The haters and trolls will hate regardless of what you say. Don’t give them the time of day and the satisfaction.

Much love.
