The pretend video games have never cut it for me. Jackpot Party and the others have realistic action but it just doesn’t translate to real action. There’s no risk in it. No, for that kind of excitement, I’d have to turn to online casinos. I resisted for as long as I could – I knew it would piss me off. I researched to find the legal ones. And then, finally, in April, I broke down and cashed in. In the weeks that followed I would lose an ungodly amount of cash and resort to begging for my winnings. And I am still haven’t been, paid. What a dumbass I am.
Cashing in was a chore. The first site I visited only takes cryptocurrency transactions. I went to my crypto app and purchased $200 worth of Bitcoin, which just based on the fluctuating valuation, was already at $199. I then meandered over to the site and obtained their wallet address and transferred the money. The transfer was relatively quick, but you basically have to keep refreshing your browser or app until the money lands in your account, usually 1-10 minutes. Oh btw, my cash in app when done was $195.
I went to Caesar’s Empire and played a couple $5 spins. That lasted for 30 minutes. Yuck. I logged onto another site, with a huge deposit bonus, and this one took credit cards. I cashed $200 in for $191, plus my bonus put me at $430 to play with. I swung away hard on Plentiful Treasures and lost it all. FAST.
10 days and 3K later, I hit on Caesar’s Empire, and Plentiful Treasures. I was at $9,000. But I had used a bonus. You see, when you get a bonus, Playthough is how many times you’ll need to bet that money to be able to withdraw it. This one was 40x my cash in and bonus, which for $430 meant I would need to gamble about 19K. So, I played and played and played and lost and lost and lost. In the end, I was left with only a few hundred eligible for withdrawal.
Screw it. I figured I wouldl take what’s left and be done with this site forever. Now begins the withdrawal approval process. This is another systemic online function which is designed to make you give up and gamble. It’s been two weeks now. I’ve sent forms, documents IDs, and credit card images countless times. The support center in Solei or godknowswhere only looks at this stuff every two or three business days and I’ve given this place enough info to buy a house in my name.
This is online gambling as I’ve always known it. I am so stupid. They may get it right one day but until then, gambling online is heartbreaking.
