  1. Slotspinner is absolutely correct, though to clarify further; Volatility only refers to potential payout scale the game is set to - it identifies whether the game is more likely to pay small wins frequently (low volatility) or big wins infrequently (high volatility). Your chance of landing a winning spin is instead determined by the games RNG - as a side issue, it is a debated topic whether any RNG software can ever be designed to be truly random, though from our small, finite perspective that's just academic anyway. Certainly after lots of play, it is easy to start seeing patterns and start believing it's scripted, but patterns will appear within random results and mathematically it almost wouldn't be random if they didn't! Casinos are very keen on making sure RNG isn't throwing out pre-determined spins as that's the surest way for them to lose money if people can suddenly tell what's going to happen. BUT casinos are happy for this myth to continue as if people do believe a game has a pre-determined script/isn't random they tend to keep betting more money for longer, especially during losing periods, as they mistakenly believe they have an advantage; whereas if people genuinely know & believe a game is random, they're less likely to continue playing once they start losing as they don't feel they have any advantage - and casino's don't make so much money when people gamble sensibly!
  2. Thanks very much for running this CG - is really fun idea & kind of you to make some lucky people happy winners! The game is enjoyable in itself, and i like the fact it can give some pretty meaty base hits too - looks well designed overall.
  3. Yo Ash, wanted to say firstly i'm sorry to hear your birthday ended up being a quiet one this year, and wasn't what you were hoping for. The only second thing i wanted to say was don't beat yourself up too much for it - you already got the awareness to know it was a mistake & regret doing it, though overly hating on yourself is only going to feed the depression and that in turn just cycles you back down into the bad habits you're trying to prevent. Take a moment to appreciate that you did well to recognise months ago you had a problem and you actively took steps to self-exclude. Since then you've managed a good few months of internal discipline, which in the face of any addiction is still an impressive feat - everyone on that road will stumble a few times, and many would've broken alot sooner. Allow yourself this error of judgement and take it as reinforcement of the fact that nothing has changed since you last played; you already know the casinos still win everything & we still lose everything - it just proves you were correct to self-exclude & stay away. You may have spunked £60 now but think of the money the past few months of self-exlusion has saved you, and that it is your actions which saved that money. Staying healthy & positive now puts the power back in your hands to save even more money over the coming months too by continuing to stay away - and the key is to remember you both have a future AND deserve to have that future too. It's an old cliche, though the past is the past; we can only effect our futures. It does often seem shit trying to stay away from easy habits, though you're allowed to have some pride in the resolve you have already shown & use that to boost your confidence that even despite a few stumbles you can keep yourself on track for where you want to get to. Wishing you a good Spring dude!
  4. Yo dude, i generally always deposit & withdraw via Visa Debit Card to bank account and is always between 2 - 4 hours payout time. Sometimes i do deposit via PayPal, and hence they send withdrawals there too, and that is same 2 - 4 hour payout - both those options work fine for me. I have also in the past deposited with those top-up vouchers that you buy from newsagents (UKash i used to use), and again as long as you've got bank account already verified then they'll withdraw to bank fine too.
  5. Yo dude, real glad to hear it got resolved & paid, and fair play to SlotV that they did give actual reason & sorted it. Thankfully I've never had it as a withdrawal issue like you, though I don't let any mates who come round use my internet if they're gonna gamble as I've had before where they log onto same site on same IP and then my daily offers & loyalty rewards just drop off a cliff cause they think I'm spamming multiple accounts - any gambling mates have to stay on their mobile data only or else they can walk up to McDonalds for the free Wi-fi!
  6. Don't know how many of you saw this on stats though was crazy close to potentially being an incredible payout - a double chance at 80x!! Still a nice win for anyone betting 2's lol! https://tracksino.com/w/mdHdhY2rRFfk# Incidentally, they had a double chance of 32x land 4 rolls only a few days ago for total 448x, though that only equates to a regular 14x - nice but still gutting lol!
  7. GG on the winners man! Thanks for posting and look forward to seeing any more!
  8. Great Thread Idea Thanks and I'll sub along! Hope it goes to plan and I'll follow it on a £1 stake too! I've put Senegal on my 1 acca tomorrow already anyway, so hope they get it all off to a good start!
  9. Most women spend their whole lives hoping & praying to meet a good man, and Kim's just out here casually finding hot Beefcakes that win him money like it's childs play! Sorry ladies that life is so unfair!
  10. Hahaha! Big Congrats dude - Epic Win & Enjoy the Winnings! I love Marks doing a celebration back-flip too!!
  11. Haha! That was taking ages! I guess it gives good play time value for money at least lol! Plus, I'm just glad it didn't collect & clear the multi's a 2nd time, as i really didn't wanna sit through another 10 minutes of all those boxes filling up for a 3rd time just to see what max looked like!! GG dude- was Epic Win & cool to see thanks!
  12. Ahhhh! Nice one thank you Kim! that's interesting to hear and definitely makes it great picks!
  13. Yo dude, congrats on an epic win! Seeing horses come in is the best! If you don't mind me asking though, I can't work out from your betslip how you actually placed the bet?? Was that some crazy Heinz type multiple or is it forecasting/tri-casting on place positions? I'm guessing the tickbox is Each Way, though otherwise would love to know what you actually placed (how many horses & how many races) as i love compiling mad multiples too!
  14. GG dude!! That is a brilliant win and it is was so mad watching it land - What a Flip!! People are definitely not gonna be sleeping on Coinflip from now onwards!
  15. Some UK people may have seen this on BBC news today, though thought I'd post to help publicise the dirtiness of Ladbrokes in rinsing the Government's Furlough Scheme for Businesses - apparently their revenues were unchanged during 2020 with them still posting profit, 2021 has already seen an 8% revenue increase, yet Ladbrokes are still responsible for one of the top 20 largest furlough claims totalling £102m!! Betfred claimed about half this amount, despite again posting profits for both years. I was relatively pleased to see my provider William Hill did also claim but has already repaid back the £27m it borrowed and the only 1 who deserves a mention of any sort of integrity is Paddy Power who apparently had the decency to not apply for any furlough assistance at all, and didn't show the greed that Ladbrokes did.

  16. Happy New Year Gambling Gang!! Hope you all have a healthy & successful 2022!!
  17. Am glad to hear that you feeling in a better place now @AshW and it sounds like gamblings grip of unrealistic fantasy has started to loosen abit, which is good to see dude and i wish you all the best for what I'm hoping will be a brilliant 2022!! I agree with you about the shame of losing, and i think this is an often underlooked aspect of why alot of people, especially men, become addicted - casinos know that winning money is like going fishing - everyone only ever talks about their biggest catch and no-one likes being ribbed over hitting blanks or only catching tiddlers! Yet if you spend enough time fishing, you can land better catches, & you don't have to stay embarrassed down the pub - whereas the bite of gambling is no amount of practice will ever change your odds! Yet people get tricked into ignoring this fact & it's too easy to start thinking "I've played this for so long, why can't i be good at it?!" And this is the point which casinos love because they know most people would rather throw alot of money away than face the embarrassment of being a loser and also that alot of people will tend to blame themselves for losing long before they actually blame the game. Casinos also know that human nature means most people won't hold their hands up and admit defeat, they'll come back for another go cause they become determined not to be beaten by a stupid game!! And there's no better music to casino ears than when someone screams "Fcuk you!!" but then stills stays logged in!! Cause beating maths in any realm of physics is nigh on impossible, and casinos don't just know that, they're built on it! One of the saddest stories i ever saw on docu was of this gambler who fcuked up everything in his life and i always remember he said one of the worst parts about having to keep it all secret was that even when he hit a big win he couldn't enjoy it or tell anyone because then they would know he was gambling - one story he said he had a massive £30K win once and then around family immediately had to act like nothing happened and then had absolutely no-one he could tell about it or celebrate with - It actually made me cry how he described the disappearance of the exhilaration & enjoyment of big wins, as both his addiction & circumstances meant he had to immediately file it away as just another spin in the history of millions - it was so sad.
  18. Wow! I honestly don't think I've ever seen that many high multi's drop during the same bonus round - absolutely insane potential! Am pleased you still had some sort of Big Win off it though, as reading your post title i thought the video was gonna be all those big multi misses and you end up with a 10x or something shite! Lol! GG still dude and hope some big multi's hit home soon!
  19. Yo dude, I can't remember where i read it, though it may just be Pragmatic Help File, and can't remember the exact numbers, though the Double Chance Feature makes it go from something stupidly small like 0.3% chance to 0.6% chance - i remember it being such a low chance in the first place that just doubling makes no real noticeable difference, hence why everyone complains it's pointless.
  20. Big Congrats dude - Epic Win!! Most streamers i watch who play that slot never get past level 1 lol, so is great to see what Max actually looks like!! GG!
  21. And another amazing film definitely worth watching is "Uncut Gems" where Adam Sandler is brilliant as a degenerate sports bettor! The whole film is masterfully crafted as an uncut gem itself and is a really immersive ride watching as his life goes on a rollercoaster!
  22. A really entertaining gambling movie I'd recommend is "Mississippi Grind" with Ryan Reynolds and the always excellent Ben Mendelsohn - is a great watch for sure!
  23. Yo Rose, sorry to hear you're having trouble - the only thing i wanted to add regarding further POA was that you can also call HMRC and ask them to post/email a copy of last years tax record, a rebate award or a re-print a copy of anything recent, etc and/or if you're claiming any benefits, call DWP/Universal Credit, etc and also ask them to copy of latest claim payment, award letter, etc, etc as anything from HMRC & DWP on headed paper is accepted as POA too. As @joshnadin rightfully says though, it is unusual for this casino to flat out refuse docs - i know from working with financial AML only that technically a company isn't supposed to tell a customer what is wrong with any submitted docs that get refused (cause otherwise you're potentially just helping criminals refine their forgeries!), yet it is reasonable to provide the customer with a general checklist of what docs are required to show and they should at least do that, if you ask simply what do submitted docs need to show. Also, it could be there's no problems with the actual docs and it's just your submitted format that's a problem - some companies don't like screenshots and only want original PDF's, or they may just have wierd file upload requirements causing them to reject - so also get them to clarify how they actually want the docs to be sent & received too, and/or ask if there's any option for you to post them physical photocopies - it may get round it instead. The only other thing I'd say, and I don't want to sound like I'm taking sides here as i know you're probably already frustrated beyond belief, is make sure you stay calm, cool and non-sweary in all dealings with them!! As Josh is also right in that if it goes to court, you do need to show you were fair & reasonable throughout AND tried escalating it with them numerous times, not just a few Live Chats. I would also recommend emailing any address for them you can, and if need be, write a physical letter to their head office explaining the situation and asking for help resolving - this may well actually achieve nothing but the reason i say to do it is because it gives you more evidence if you do end up in court to show you have been fair & reasonable and gives casino less chance to claim you never escalated it. Also, make sure you save each chat log with them or ask for copies to be mailed to you - keep all correspondence. And as long as you stay calm, polite & collected with them, whichever route it goes, it will definitely help in your favour.
  24. Yo dude, i agree that sticking to bet sizes is hard to do, and especially more so on even money paying games like roulette & BJ where you already know that any recovery at same bet sizes is probably gonna be a long hard grind. The trouble i find with just spunking remaining balance on all-in's is then when i then re-depo and go back to normal stakes, I've essentially cut myself out of 4 or 5 future spins with that previous all-in - it does become easy to just disregard disciplined bankroll management when i get annoyed! The only other side point I'd say too is that you're right about how when you need it it never works and when you're not caring anymore it happens!! - i do find it interesting how once I'm in the negative losing mindset, the increased focus & angry tunnel vision i go into does strangely seem to give me a more of an intuitive knowledge that my bet is going to lose and that I'm what I'm picking is wrong - it's only often my stubbornness at being determined to prove that I've picked the right one which keeps me losing, despite already knowing it's going to be wrong - it's almost feels like if i could use that moment to step away from my negativity & ego then i could use the empathy for the next spin to divine what is the correct decision. I'll wish you luck overall dude as slamming it hard is an easy trap to get into, yet your idea of sticking to what you know is good and being more disciplined is a great plan.
  25. I've only seen it streamed and it does look an interesting game which can randomly spit out large ones like this, though it is abit basic overall. What happens is those 2 big yellow X's on left take him to bonus which is where however the random numbers read across in each of his 2 out of 3 possible X lines is the actual multiplier won - he had 2 X lines open and the bottom one caught the numbers 7001, hence 7001x for that line - if it come out as 0071 it would've been 71x or 0107 would've been 107x, etc, etc. The middle open X line landed numbers 00 so he won 0x for that line! You basically want big numbers at beginning of X line and zeros at the end!
