Yes, sure! @ValDes @cocopop3011

You cannot disagree that gambling is a fun and exciting activity. For many people, it has become a significant part of their lifestyle. Some of them are looking for a new way of entertaining and testing their luck. Others want to earn some money, placing bets and winning rewards. Some more experienced players unite these features and make gambling their hobby.
However, like any other thrilling pastime,  gambling can be addictive. And when the addiction is detected, one should take actions immediately in order not to let it ruin lives. I have researched this topic and would like to share some info about it.

Reasons for Developing Gambling Addiction

It is hard to tell the definite set of reasons why people get addicted to anything. Sometimes the outside factors can stimulate the addiction. But mostly the personal psychological features make the person responsive to the gambling influence. 
- Inner motives. They can include the desire to be a leader and showcase the dominance above other players. Another case is the need to feel satisfaction and joy when in real life, the person experiences only failures and disappointments.
- Personal issues. Low self-esteem and disposition to depression can become factors for developing a gambling addiction.
- Family reasons. Childhood fears and complexes can lead to choosing a gambling path.
- Economic factor. Instead of developing a successful career to be financially independent, the person wants to get money fast and effortlessly. 
- Pandemic and lockdown issues. People are forced to stay at home for a long time without decent social contacts. Others get fired and start looking for solutions. This may lead to excessive playing.
- Other causes. The overall availability of gambling facilities, legal status in many countries, constant gambling advertising in mass media. 

Gambling Addiction Consequences

- Debts.
- Spouse and family issues.
- Loss of friends.
- Health problems.
- Stress and mental instability.
- Suicidal thoughts.

Great, thanks for confirming. 
I guess then it won't be a problem if you could edit your post and make sure it meets some basic formatting. I can see you posted exactly the same piece of text at another forum  where it looks perfectly formatted. 😛 

Was just about to ask the same question.  

Thank you! for the info. Is this your own article?

Well, Australian IP, combined with typical native- English username and then obviously browsing the forum in Russian... Nothing strange, indeed.  
Anyway. was just asking, that's all. 

Poker, slots and scratch cards are other favourites that rule the roost in download casinos. While a lot depends on the casino where you play these games, it is best to check out transparent and trustworthy review sites before plunging into the thrill of casino games.

It's cool that you can play Cinerama slot machines online for free. However, there is no progressive jackpot in the free version. I signed up with the recommended Playtech casinos, made a deposit using the payment methods available, and started playing for real money. It was cool!
This game combines classic elements and modern graphics, that's cool too!

Interesting video and channel! Thanks!
It will be interesting to know about the such situation on another countries!

Its always best to check T&C's at Casinos you play at as some will say VPN is allowed and others totally forbid it.
 

Great! Thanks for your responce!

No rules have changed ...
Online gambling is illegal in this country UNLESS the organization is licensed (and currently only bookmakers seem to have some type of license ... and a few other organizations like Lottostar)
 

Thanks for reply. I've read something interesting!

Recently, I read on forum about a famous youtube channel where gambler tells about the  AG Coin usage overview. And unfortunately I lost it (
May be someone hearabout it?

You can search on Google and believe good online casino review. 

Makes me wonder why Dave is even asking this question now, after 13 months lapse?! 😜

Hmm, interesting situation.  
Two options thou: 
- IF you mean buying the feature at the remaining 18.60 price, yes, that would be a violation of max bet rule as 99.9% of the operators impose 5 USD/EUR/GBP max bet while wagering with bonus funds;
- IF you mean keep playing with a fresh deposit (and probably bonus either) until the feature gets to 0.00, no, that won't be a violation of any of the common bonus rules, not to mention that the majority of the common operators will never even spot your friend grinded some/most of the feature cost while wagering with previous bonus. That's why you will see White Rabbit, Lil Devil, etc etc listed a restricted game while bonus wagering... 

Casino rating doesn't matter in winning or loosing the game. The only thing which is matter, your gaming strategy and your luck. It only depends on your luck and strategy If your gaming strategy is the best and your lucky days are going on then you'll definitely win even in lowest rating casino.
