Just wanted to share my story and a story of my former business partner.

My parent retire early as they own several businesses that they started from scratch and it's in a stage where they no longer need to participate that much in managing it. An associate / friend from same industry of them brought them to Genting, introduced into gambling, particularly Baccarat. Weird to say, they initially won quite a sum from numerous trips. About 2-3 trips / week. They have those weird ideas / strategy and whenever I chat with them, it's always about gambling. Then they started to lose money, mostly because they more comfortable to bet bigger and to try on their so-called strategy. In just 6 months, they lost about 800K. I mean it's their money, can't really say much as a son. But, their behaviour change into more aggressive especially when they lose money. Genting doesn't help but entice them with repeated offer of upgrades, from normal card to silver to gold plus. Free rooms, free concerts, free bunch of stuff especially if you buy their non-redeemable chips. The relationship between my parents is also down because of the constant argument, something like my Dad not following the discussed strategy or my Mom doing impulsive betting, etc. So, about a year into their worsening relationship and not to mention the loss of over a million plus, me and my siblings gave an ultimatum, and also bring them to those Buddhist sort of gathering, and thankfully, it's like a demon removed from them. Nowadays, they only go like once a month, and it's just like a leisure vacation. I mean, money is nothing, but relations went down the drain, easily agitated, and relate everything with gambling.

I have a business partner in doing importing and exporting pre-owned, he came from family of founding fathers of our nation, the old money. So, every generation has it's worst offspring and my friend's father happened to be the one. Youngest among siblings, if I'm not mistaken, he was given land and cash worth about RM5Mil and that's in 1980's. That guy can gamble everything away, bankrupt and become a taxi driver before my business partner even started secondary school in 1990's. There's always people knocking on the door, and my friend and his family have to keep quiet in a room, pretending no one is home, always live in fear, and you thought the father learned his lesson, sadly no. Whatever he earned, he gambled. The mom have to resort to washing dishes at restaurant to supplement the income. My friend hates gambler, to the level that he doesn't tolerate gambling during CNY.

So, my friend, gambling has no future. It's not just about losing money. Money is nothing, but you loses more than that.

Yes, based on my experience u wont get blocked.
I did get cashout of 16k, 12k, & 9k in 3 consecutive days.

Sighh winning is fun but you end up using all amount to recover everything. Then it trigged to win back from previous loses.

Has anyone tried to stop but still come back even bet a small amount?
Because "Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit".

When u lose everything u feel depress but when u win big that moment only last maybe 1-7 days.
What is the best advise we all can use here?

With technology it is easier to gamble these days.Don't need to physically got to casino anymore.Numerous online betting sites a mushrooming everywhere.I myself got hooked and lost a significant amount of money to it.Promised i would stop every time i lost big but till today i am unable to.

Maybe try have a bank account that you don't have access to atm card or online banking. Make a monthly deposit upon receiving your pay or a portion of net profit if you are doing business. Remove all gambling apps as well.

No way to stop one just like drug addiction. As long as you can access to money and there is a supply of gambling/drugs, you would purchase it. Unless the fingers are chopped.
