This is a crooked and rigged casino. I have a severe gambling addiction and it is reported and I am blacklisted. I signed up for their site and tried to use credit card but because I requested blacklisted due to addiction it denied me. That killed the urge until this unscrupulous company contacted me and encouraged me to get bitcoin account and deposit. Of course my disease won and i proceeded to deposit all the money i had in one night, even win I won i would keep playing. I wrote to them when the wake up of not being able to spend anymore money hit me and they were basically like tough. They prey on problem gamblers. They purposely baited me in knowing I asked to be blacklisted because I have a severe disease. Please play elsewhere. If they would do this to me what would they do to other players- cheat....

Just a question without trying to hurt: if you realize that you are sick, why not spend money on treatment for addiction?

That's a bad situation to be in and a tough condition to half. Unfortunately we have people and entities that will prey on individuals like yourself and like the other post suggested, maybe you should invest the money in treatments that will help you. Good luck

Exactly , They didn't force you to put money in. You chose to do so. They can't make you do anything. If you have an addiction and don't go , don't look don't attempt. Just like if you're on drugs and get pissed that the drug dealer sold you drugs …….Derp

You should seek help with your gambling addiction. Stop gambling brother. Save your hard earned money. Go to a meeting , they have GA . Gamblers Anonymous. There are also Hotlines out there. Give it a try man you have Nothing to lose.

I sympathize with your struggle... but it seems like the site did as much as it could to protect you and you found a way around it. I get it, that's what addicts do, but it seems like they did as much as you can reasonably ask of them. Perhaps you should contact your bank and add 2nd or even 3rd party authentication to your account. It's all about creating barriers to prevent easy access to your triggers. Good luck!

I’m sympathetic to your situation, truly. I went through some tough times after my father literally lost the house in a poker game. He came home and said to the family; pack a few things, we don’t live here anymore. But I didn’t blame the guy who hosted the game, or the dealer that dealt the cards, or the bank that let him withdraw the money, or Mr. Hoyle for inventing playing cards, ect. I blamed my dad. Addicts need help to cope with their addiction, whatever form it takes.

Informing ACR that you want to be on their exclusion list is evidence that you want to control your addiction. And bravo for taking steps. But in the end, they’re a cardroom that’s based in another country, who makes money by charging a fee for putting players together and ‘dealing’ cards.

I don’t blame them for soliciting business any more than I blame McDonalds for obesity because they make tasty burgers.

It’s also possible the solicitation had nothing to do with ACR. It could have been an affiliate or advertising algorithm that thought you would be interested in a promotion based on your search history. (I imagine you had to ‘look up’ the contact information for ACR or things similar to CardsChat.com).

Your post was probably frustration at yourself turned outward. Use this experience to motivate furthering your quest for help. Please.

Best wishes.

Seek help.
Buddy with a former addict, and when you feel the urge to gamble contact that person.
Good luck.

Alright, this is obviously fast approaching to a dark topic thread but before that happens:

I blame McDonalds for obesity because they make tasty burgers..

bit of humor there :rofl:

I was on drugs for 18 years and it took proffesional help and years of proffessional support to get me lined out and on my feet. Ive been off drugs about 19 years now...but the thought of it still crosses my mind occasionally. I have the tools to stay in control now. I didnt find those tools or figure it out alone. Get proffessional help because its the only way to protect your innocent family and friends that end up being pawns to your addiction. If you have anyone you love or you still have anyone that loves you GET HELP!

Wishing you the best of luck. This is a tough situation. Addiction can be very difficult because you have to force yourself to beat it. There's no magic pill. A lot of it is will power, and I really hope you are able to find it. There are people willing to help. Please take the steps necessary to get help.

As for the clowns who said that this is a totally voluntary decision. You clearly have not read up on the neuroscience of addiction. Addiction is far more complex, and that's why it is so frustrating. But one thing is certain. Ignorance does not help.

In My Opinion You do not have a severe disease you are making excuses for yourself. You are a drug addict addicted to the dopamine, adrenaline etc. your body makes. I bet you do not even care about winning. If it wasn't ACR it would be prostitution, cheeseburgers, heroin, sugar or video games etc. Also ACR is an underworld site and it is oriented to serve super volume grinder fanatics that devote their life to the site. Why are you blaming other for your actions?? Clean up junkie. my tough love 2 cents. Stop blaming others.......

Reading the comments...there are clearly people that are simply giving their 2 cents without any idea what they are talking about which is too bad cause it is evident you have a serious problem with gambling and were courageous enough to share that with us so congrats on sharing that with us as the first part is admitting you have a problem. Second, if you could do this yourself you would have but you haven’t so as other people have stated it would do you a lot of lead way to get help from someone or look into treatment programs. I am not saying this to hurt you or degrade you it’s just the truth that a lot of addicts whether it be this or drugs or something else have an issue with as one of the core components of addiction is the feeling of being able to solve the problem yourself when you really can’t. I hope this helps and you get involved in something that helps you start to turn things around :)

Sorry to hear about your problem, the best method is to stay away from it completely. Dont set foot in a casino, dont play poker, dont even read about anything that will induce gambling like a forum. If you're addiction is this bad you need to seek help and support.
