Do I have a gambling problem?

I was with my cousin the other day and put £20 on an online gambling site and it gave me a bonus which I never asked for so I had £60 to play with. I won it up to £180 and tried to withdraw it and it said that I cannot withdraw as there are bonus funds.

I used the online help service and she said that I needed to spend about 2000 to use up my bonus credits before I could withdraw. I said it was a scam and asked for my £20 back but they said they can't as I have used my bonus credits (In hindsight I realise I could've almost guaranteed withdraw by betting on red AND black on roulette with something on zero just in case)

Anyway I bet the 180 and one of my numbers came up and I kept doubling and repeating until there was 3000 available to withdraw as I must have put 2000 on in total. I withdrew it to my account and was obviously buzzing but then I reverse withdrew it 500 at a time until I was left with my original £20. Reverse withdraw is when you have asked for your money back but you get about 12 hours to change your mind.

I have been stressed ever since even though I havn't actually lost anything but I get paid soon and all I can think about is trying to win it back up and it feels like I have a gambling problem?

Any advice?

first of all its no scam as almost all bonuses have the bonus playthrough, secondly reversing the wins never a good idea but got a feeling your payout request would probably not have been granted as most bonuses have certain terms and im sure doubling up all the time would make your winnings void in most casinos, its also never a good idea to start chasing what might have been or you might indeed end up with a problem, can give you one good piece of advice tho, if you do intend to gamble again always read the t&cs of bonuses and follow them so you an cashout if you win

I always tell my husband when I go and I have many hobbies and work and friends to keep me busy. This is not just something to do. Since we are retired I don't bring in any money so sometimes I feel I am contributing. I am very careful with my money. I even border on being frugal. I do my own hair, clean my own home myself, I don't have diamonds, fur, and we don't go on expensive vacations. I just love the thrill of winning.

well, I think the easy question is would you do it again if you won that much? sometimes we just need to learn a lesson about reversing withdrawals...god knows I did! LOL but if you stopped and didn't try to keep putting more in in order to win again, I don't think it really means anything except if you win and cash out, don't go back in there unitl you want to depo 20 again.

There are twenty questions on the GA website which will help you know if you have a problem. Reverse cashouts are a cautionary tale, however, and I can't tell you how many times I've made the mistake myself. Good luck to you.
