I would vote for you if that were a thing! You are an infinite pool of knowledge. All hail President of Malta!! 

Okay Nicole,, I understand your issue and NO, you're not the only one out there. But of course, people will say quit cause they feel you are "venting and or complaining" but I don't feel you are. I feel you are simply asking if others "feel" the same way or "experience" what you have. 
 
Let's face facts. Gambling has very few "big" winners, unless you hit the jackpot, which is rare. You may see many advertised but those are few in comparison to how may loose. The basic fact remains true. "The longer you gamble, the more odds are against you". 
 
Are software companies cheating ? Well, I'm not sure which regulatory bodies monitor any of these but casinos open for profits and they make incredible profits. Do the like to pay out large winnings ? Reputable ones who are comfortable with their profits of course would be happy. It's advertising. Those that wait too long to pay out, get bad reviews and this is the only avenue we have to evaluate casinos, thanks to sites like ASK Gamblers". 
 
I personally have had the same results as you have on some months. Matter of fact, I can't say I have won in the end playing on-line casinos when you add up all deposits and withdrawals but I really don't expect to make money playing casinos.
 
As for your questions about "Am I the only one" ,, of course not. The problem is most gamblers who win, big or small, eventually put everything back.  I know I have won over $15k in one night and gone in the next month. It's a fact of gambling and addiction. Unfortunate but true. We tend to chase our losses or attempt to increase our winnings = lose again.
 
So, are there better software providers like microgaming, netent, or other large ones? Not sure. Are RTM's real ? Who knows ? Do other people feel like you do,, "Of course". What to do about it if you don't want to stop ? Scale back and read about the casinos in places like this and you'll notice that almost every casinos get complaints. Do I like Netent or microgaming, 'NO". Why ? I don't find I have won in all the times I played.
 
Maybe we should start a new forum post, if one doesn't already exist, on " Who's a winner after 3 months?". and who's a loser after 3 months". Problem is not everyone is honest cause gamblers tend to lie about their losses to simply encourage themselves or hide their addictions. I"m not saying all gamblers but most.
 
Hope this at least answers some of your concerns.  

I'm sorry Nicole if you feel ganged up on. It's just that most people who have been playing for years, like you say you have, already know what their niche is, win and loss cycle, etc. Some people need that extra push to step out of gambling for a while. If you're losing money more money than you feel comfortable with, maybe you could take a break? You say your friends are gamblers, too. Maybe you could play some table games with them or switch to playing for free for a while. 

I aim to please

While I enjoyed your comparisons, I don't think any of them are directly applicable. I see it as something like this. Netent has a solid product, they sell it to second parties who then offer the product (the games) to third parties (us). If Netent is the product, the casinos are the commercial store we go to. You don't want the store to have dirty windows, poor customer service, and slow check-out lines. I don't think it's Netent's responsibility to make the changes to the T&C or CS of the casinos we choose to play at. Who should we point the finger at?

It's certainly not the answer to all of our verification nightmares but I do hope in the future this process will be made easier for us all.

That's why I was commenting on the licensing authorities, cause this idea could only see life if it becomes part of the licensing agreement between the regulatory body and its licensees.

Hot dealers aren't distracting at all.....

When I'm loosing I know the touch is not with me, so I go and distract myself with other activities. I switch games, switch strategies, switch up all I can. If I loose my deposit, I try a new casino. On occasion I break my spending budget, but most often I stick too it. Some people might like to "push" through the loosing play, but I don't have the bankroll to keep depositing at the same site.

You also have to pay close attention the T&C if you are going to play this welcome bonus game! Not all game count towards that wagering requirement so you might hit big, think you can cash out at some point, but you find you've only made a small dent in your wagering requirement. 
Whether you have money to bet with or not, there's no reason not to accept welcome bonuses in my opinion. 

I cant even remember to change my socks daily. But you're right, it's important

My boyfriend bought me lovely flowers for Women's Day. And of course I bought flowers for my mom. It was the first time anyone's done anything for me to celebrate this day. I really felt grateful to and for my loved ones. 

Sunday is the day of rest. That's why I think it is naturally the best day to sit at home with a glass of wine and gamble on my ipad/phone/laptop all day It's the closest I feel to God

Doesn't "jugar gratis" as it says in the top left of the screenshot mean that you were playing for free (not for real money) anyway?

I fully agree that it should be impossible to go over the maximum bet- it's just another trap for them to catch you

INetBet, back to back small wins
 

Thanks and thanks!

Agree. The competition in both online gambling and p*rn industry is ferocious and everyone is fighting really hard for their piece of the pie. Using your traffic in the best possible way could be a key to the success.

How are they raking in the millions if the industry has mostly switched to free viewership? Are they solely making profits from advertising space? I think the gambling outreach is a way to get back those profits. 

Correct Princess, you can't have a bonus unless you agree to the terms. You don't always have to tick a box to say you accept the bonus terms, but by clicking the box when you first register this bounds you to their terms anyway.

It's going to cause so much lag. I don't like that idea at all. And if the dealers are naked do the players feel pressure to be naked too? It's going to turn into that website chatroulette but with poker cards covering all the unsavory bits
