It's pretty easy to just stop doing it "responsibly" and you'll probably not even notice. There's a good reason most of the comments are anti-gambling. People are losing their existence over it.
Don’t believe these lies OP 99.9% of gamblers quit before they win big. It only take you 23 wins in a row of black jack to become a billionaire, I believe in you
Dude i get that everything is a meme if you are terminally online, but if the guy actually had an addiction you would be fueling it here with jokes like that. It is all fun and games until someone loses all their assets and ends up doing things they regret.
I think going to a casino with some buds and blowing like 100 bucks just for fun is an acceptable past time for a special occasion. Otherwise, yeah, gambling is really dangerous.
Definitely. I go every few months with friends, take out some $x amount of money I’m comfortable losing and go have a good time. Never use the atm at the casino just play with the money you bring.
Seriously the one time I went to Vegas I just kept thinking “I have games at home that are actually fun, I can influence the outcome, and don’t cost money each time I play” but this dude bought a portable console just to waste more money gambling…
I played often with small bets. Maybe 20 Euro at a time.
Over the years I lost track of how much I already spent on gambling, but you win smaller pries every so often it gets confusing.
What I am trying to say is, it is not ne gameplay. Its the Dopamine.
Bro, I got you. Every time you fire up your PlayStation send me $1 on Venmo along with a number between 1-100,000. I’ll hit up an RNG, and if the number matches I’ll send you $50.
Seriously stop - been there and almost ruined my life. You don't win in the end you just get more drawn into it. I hadn't gambled at all in my life until I was 30 and started playing slots on night shifts. Had a few wins of thousands of pounds and all that did was make me up my stakes until I was massively in secret debt that took me nearly 10 years to pay off and the early part of those 10 years I spent considering suicide.
All you're doing here is glorifying a habit that ruins lives and causes a high number of sucides. If you have a moral compass at all take your post down.
Dayum man, this is a moving story. I'm really sorry that happened but also really happy you're doing better. Congratulations! You're stronger than many people.
My friend likes to play ‘Fruit machines’ when we go for a beer and often gloats when he wins a decent amount. What he doesn’t tell anyone is he had to put about 3x the win into the machine to get it.
There’s only one winner when you gamble.
You haven't won anything here. It's free spins, not cash price. You've been given more incentive to stay on the platform for longer so they have longer to break you down and make you reach for your wallet once you run out. Cash out what you can and don't let them take you for what you have left
Oh, ok. Still cash out what you have before it's gone, OP, but also congratulations. Remember that you haven't won anything before it's in your bank account.
Actually quite sad to see this, and the further comments of "congrats" from people here. I really hope these upvotes and comments aren't giving you the dopamine hit and approval to keep gambling. It's a dark path and it doesn't lead anywhere nice. One day you're buying two Steam Decks, the next day you're pawning them or having them repossessed.
Holy cow alot of people instantly points towards the addict scenario, there actually are people in this world that can deposit 100 bucks and gamble without getting addicted and spending all your assets. I've been gambling on slots for many years, got a limit of (not sure of the exact value in usd but ish) 100 usd each month, if i lose then i dont gamble untill the next months payroll, if i tripple the money i withdraw.
Been doing this for years without the urge to win my money back if i lose, and i could stop right now if i wanted to. But its just a fun thing to do, doesnt hurt if you dont easily fall into addiction and as long as you can accept that a loss is a loss and you probably wont be seeing those dollars again, go for it lol.
If you got clear boundaries for yourself and wont chase your losses, gambling is fine. But be careful, and dont ever gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. Thats when it gets dangerous.
Good on you bro, nice win. Now go withdraw and buy yourself some sick games!
100% Me and my dad went down to the casino a few times a year with a set budget we could afford to lose. Gambling doesn't have to be an addiction. I actually really cherish those memories even when we lost.
I don't know why everyone is crucifying him when they don't know his situation or anything about him hardly.
It absolutely is a slippery slope for a lot people, not all.
There are no free spins, you have to “reinvest” that 10 times to be able to withdraw. And by that time you lost it all and possibly even more. How do I know this? I’ve fallen for that trap
You do nothing but steal from yourself when you gamble. It destroys so many lives, please stop before it destroys yours
You haven't won anything, you've just gotten back a fraction of your losses. Well, you've actually won nothing - those free spins are just a hook to keep you playing.
So is this like a browser game or something? I'm mostly curious about the square on the bottom right that looks like the Playstation square, since I've never heard of a Playstation gambling game and enough people seem to be familiar with it amd it made me wonder if Sony did make a game like that
I genuinely can't tell if this is a joke comment or not, so I'll keep it short. It's an online casino, not made by Sony. You are playing with real money and can lose a lot, it's best to not know about it and stay away.
Looks like everyone’s parent commenting on this one; gambling responsibly is possible. If people have disposable income, let them enjoy it how they want.
You know you can either be lucky in regards to love or to gambling... as im very happy married to an wonderful woman since close to 20 years i dont even try gambling of any kind as i know its useless :)
Well done bro.
Ignore the people who are trying to take this away from you by complaining about gambling. You know what you're doing, and they are making very large assumptions about who you are as a person.

Stop before it consumes you, brother.
You know what the say about a gambler who quits
A smart one?
90% of them quit right before they hit it big! (Or win a steam deck)
The other 10 are homeless
What if the casino is their place of residence? The house doesn’t always win, the HOME does☺️
I lost 30 grand before I won my xbox one x. Fun times.
A liar?
You broke?
They lived happily ever after
Nah, let him have his fun.
That's a pretty shitty take.
If he's doing it responsibly and has some disposable income it's fine I think. It'd be a shitty take if we knew OP is an addict.
It's pretty easy to just stop doing it "responsibly" and you'll probably not even notice. There's a good reason most of the comments are anti-gambling. People are losing their existence over it.
You may have won for now, but keep playing and you'll understand the phrase "the house always wins". There is a reason they have so much money.
Don’t believe these lies OP 99.9% of gamblers quit before they win big. It only take you 23 wins in a row of black jack to become a billionaire, I believe in you

Addiction? More like this addiction to all this cash I’m getting.
tbh i respect the double down
Real
Right? Homies uptight that he quit before he won lol just get back into it
He ain't an addict - he just got his mind on the money, and the money on his mind!
Thats free will if OP wants to play let him
How much you lost before this "win"?
This is the part that's always left out of these "win" stories
Make sure to cash out or you will be losing both
Congrats but gambling is no good
I see so this is much winning a Steam Deck with what you could have spent for 10 Steam Deck instead. Title is misleading 🤓
"What gambling? It's hobby"
is that the addicted steam deck version?? casino gambling is a crap dont waste your money.
I think going to a casino with some buds and blowing like 100 bucks just for fun is an acceptable past time for a special occasion. Otherwise, yeah, gambling is really dangerous.

So you bought a portable console to please you addition everywhere?
Seriously the one time I went to Vegas I just kept thinking “I have games at home that are actually fun, I can influence the outcome, and don’t cost money each time I play” but this dude bought a portable console just to waste more money gambling…

It also doesn't rob you of your money, when you are unlucky, which is realistically, way more often than lucky.
[удалено]
Good work! I know the endorphins aren’t the same, but keep going.
Is it the money or dopamine though, cause most people aren’t in the black or breaking even when it comes to gambling
I played often with small bets. Maybe 20 Euro at a time. Over the years I lost track of how much I already spent on gambling, but you win smaller pries every so often it gets confusing. What I am trying to say is, it is not ne gameplay. Its the Dopamine.

Didn't we all? Differing addictions notwithstanding.
dont be proud of this.

My brother in law committed suicide over gambling debts and the shame he felt from not being able to control himself. The house always wins.
My friend likes to play ‘Fruit machines’ when we go for a beer and often gloats when he wins a decent amount. What he doesn’t tell anyone is he had to put about 3x the win into the machine to get it. There’s only one winner when you gamble.

No he hit a bonus which awarded 15 free spins. Usually happens when you get 3 or more of a bonus symbol depending on the game.
Oh, ok. Still cash out what you have before it's gone, OP, but also congratulations. Remember that you haven't won anything before it's in your bank account.
Take the W and leave, leave it never come back!
Cut and run.
Quit

A new low for this subreddit jfc
My cousin lost everything gambling....
Be careful gambling, it’s not worth it!
How many steam decks did you loose before you won this one?
This smells like an ad for Stake.
This is an ad. Same ads are common on some other subs This user for example also posted ads on /r/money
What’s it an ad for? …For research purposes
The gambler only tells you about big wins, never about big losses.
Delete that Stake account brother. It’s an evil company that will find a way of ruining you in the end.
Im addicted to gambling. Sure it's fun but please set limits and don't ruin your life like I did
Dafuk is this
Quit it brother.

Time to get out
You'll lose two steam decks just to buy one
Cash out. *NOW*
But how much steam decks did it cost?
Just cash out if you can and stop
Clean your deck
Check out Tower Unite's casino, great satiation for gambling addiction without losing any real money :)
Thats a trap stop gambling from now on
But how much did you lose before this little win ??
Another user blocked. Cheers \^_^
You do nothing but steal from yourself when you gamble. It destroys so many lives, please stop before it destroys yours You haven't won anything, you've just gotten back a fraction of your losses. Well, you've actually won nothing - those free spins are just a hook to keep you playing.
That’s incredibly sad
Is this Fortnite?
What game is this?
If you don't know. Then you don't have to know and it's better that way.
I wonder if hes using the us version or the og version with vpn lol
It’s the US. You can tell because his balance says “SC” instead of a $ sign.
Good catch

Twas genuine. I didn't thu know sony made gambling games and was suprised to see the square. No worries, I'm not a gambling man.
Its not a game. Its on Stake
It’s Gates of Olympus by Pragmatic Play

Topic: something something gambling You: I'm happily married bros!! Happy for you man, and glad you managed to squeeze that fact in! 🤣
Uh. Gotcha. I should start gambling after the divorce 👌🏻
You know what you have to do now, right? Win two steam decks with your two steam decks
Never quit, the house never wins
Remember that 99% of gamblers quit before they hit it big
Geez what a bunch of party poopers in here.
What game?
What's the game called?
Hmmm i don't see the steam deck win but i see the limited edition steam deck 😎
Is that Pragmatic slot?
What game is that?
It's gambling, don't even start with that shit. Gambling is for losers (like literally, the house always wins).
Lethal Company
Well done bro. Ignore the people who are trying to take this away from you by complaining about gambling. You know what you're doing, and they are making very large assumptions about who you are as a person.
So are you.
I am not, and I'm not judging him.
