I actually think this is a very reasonable outcome over that volume, and I mean that sincerely.
Being down ~6.7k on nearly 250k wagered is effectively the cost of entertainment spread over a very long period of time. That lines up almost perfectly with expected RTP and house edge once you factor in variance, game selection, and session length. The fact that you withdrew over 97% of what you deposited tells me you are not chasing recklessly or blowing accounts, which is more than most players can say.
What you are describing, slow bleed over time rather than one catastrophic loss, is extremely common for long-term players who play frequently and responsibly. Most people lose the same amount, they just do it in one bad night instead of gradually.
I also think it’s important to separate two things:
Gambling as entertainment
Gambling as an attempt at long-term profitability
For the vast majority of players, especially outside of advantage play or promos, long-term profitability is not realistic. If you are enjoying the time, staying within your means, and it’s not affecting your personal life, then this looks like a controlled and transparent experience, not a problematic one.
Curious what your main focus is game-wise. Do you mostly play slots, tables, or Stake originals? Different games definitely change how that long-term curve feels, even if the math ends up in a similar place.
Appreciate you laying the data out clearly and keeping the discussion level-headed.
