Причината да играя (страница 2)

No, I don't play every day...but if we take it statistically in 1 month...let's say I play 10 days at most. And that's not consecutively

Οχι.δεν παίζω κάθε μέρα...αλλά αν το πάμε στατιστικά στον 1 μήνα...ας παίξω το πολύ 10 μέρες. Και αυτό όχι συνεχόμενα

Look...I can't say for sure how often I make a deposit. I don't have money set aside...nor do I work every day...I also have 4 children at home whose needs are daily. Although whenever I have something left over I will put it in..otherwise every 2 months that I get paid from the child benefit I will leave 50 euros in the bank and these....I may lose a little bit...or increase them.

Κοίτα...δεν μπορώ να πω με σιγουριά κάθε πόσο συχνά κάνω κατάθεση.δεν έχω χρήματα στην άκρη...ούτε δουλειά κάθε μέρα...επίσης έχω 4 παιδιά στο σπίτι όπου οι ανάγκες τους είναι καθημερινές. Αν και όποτε μου περισσεύει κάτι θα το βάλω..αλλιώς κάθε 2 μήνες που πληρώνομαι από το επίδομα των παιδιών θα αφήσω 50 ευρώ στη τράπεζα και αυτά....μπορεί να τα χάσω λίγα λίγα...ή να τα αυξήσω.

Do you have someone in your family who has become ill from gambling??? where they gamble away everything they earn....and blame others....and how do you manage all of this....?

Έχετε στην οικογένεια σας κάποιον που να έχει αρρωστήσει από τον τζόγο???πού να τα παίζει όλα όσα βγάζει....και να ρίχνει τις ευθύνες του πάνω σε άλλους....?και πώς το διαχειριζεστε όλο αυτό....?

I understand what you said before. You have a budget that you spend when you can. Anyway, if you have a better use for the money, I think it would be good to maybe not play. I don't play in casinos because for me personally it's a waste of money. I'm sure it could be put to better use on a trip or something I'd like to do. 

I don't have anyone in my family that I know of that gambles. 

Anyway, why do you ask? It's the fine line between addiction and fun in gambling. Some people don't want to admit it and then the problem can become more serious and I would always recommend seeking professional help. 

There are many helplines that could help, or self-exclusion from casinos, we also have an initiative in cooperation with Betblocker where we try to help players and therefore they can also block themselves from gambling sites. 

Hello everyone 😊

I find this topic incredibly fascinating because it shows how different our reasons are. I'll be honest – for me, gaming used to be just a way to "switch off after work." I work from home a lot, am often alone, and these little moments of excitement sometimes made me feel somehow connected – even if it was just through a virtual slot machine. 🙈

Of course, the dream of winning is there too. But I've realized that it's often not the money at all – it's the feeling of accomplishing something, of being lucky when the right moment comes. That sometimes gives me more than an evening of Netflix.

What helped me a lot, though, was setting clear limits and only playing when I'm truly at peace with myself. No escapism, no frustration-filled games. Only then can I truly enjoy it. 🧘‍♀️💜

What is the moment for you when you say: "Now is exactly the right time to play"?

Hallo zusammen 😊

Ich finde das Thema hier super spannend, weil es zeigt, wie unterschiedlich unsere Gründe sind. Ich bin ehrlich – für mich war das Spielen früher auch einfach ein "Abschalten nach der Arbeit"-Ding. Ich arbeite viel im Homeoffice, bin oft allein, und diese kleinen Momente der Spannung haben mir manchmal das Gefühl gegeben, irgendwie verbunden zu sein – auch wenn’s nur mit einem virtuellen Slot war. 🙈

Natürlich, der Traum vom Gewinn ist auch da. Aber ich hab für mich gemerkt, dass es oft gar nicht das Geld ist – sondern das Gefühl, etwas zu schaffen, Glück zu haben, wenn der richtige Moment kommt. Das gibt mir manchmal mehr als ein Netflix-Abend.

Was mir allerdings sehr geholfen hat, war mir klare Limits zu setzen und nur dann zu spielen, wenn ich wirklich im Reinen mit mir selbst bin. Keine Flucht, kein Frustspiel. Nur dann kann ich’s wirklich genießen. 🧘‍♀️💜

Was ist bei euch der Moment, wo ihr sagt: "Jetzt ist genau der richtige Zeitpunkt zum Spielen"?

Everyone has a different way to somehow switch off, of course. For me it also used to be with online poker, to tell you the truth.

It is very important to keep it cool, though, right?

Come on, we are all in it for the thrill and hopefully it does not develop into an addiction.

And who knows, that massive win might happen one day, one can dream.
