Trust me, quit now and you will be infinitely happier and more rich going forward. I appreciate the response. More specifically, thanks for offering advice on happiness in relation to wealth and overall wellbeing. I think your claim, however, is somewhat flawed. Affordability doesnt constitute rapid VIP progression, necessarily. On the contrary, most people who gamble responsibly (i.e., those who gamble only with disposable funds) are more likely to progress at a relatively "slow & steady" pace. This assumes that the average, ordinary "responsible" gambler's wagering is commensurate with both 1) disposable time; and 2) disposable income. If gambling leads to unhappiness and increased wealth, its reasonable to infer that I've invested a disproportionate amount of time or income (or both) (e.g., rapid increase of average bet size, countless hours due to "microstaking"). It's perfectly reasonable to conclude that most people who take a "long time" to reach Platinum can afford to do so and are not unhappy, necessarily. Further, plenty of individuals gamble via one (or more) provider(s) other than Stake.com. For example, I hold two (active) accounts at two distinct providers-- both of which, in comparison, are of higher VIP than my Stake Plat 1 VIP. So, why assume that Stake VIP status will certainly offer a full depiction of a players status with respect to-- as you mentioned-- such things as affordability and happiness? At any rate, I appreciate your input; thanks for the comment. On 12/22/2021 at 4:04 PM, Jleex89 said: Congrats! I just reached there this month too! Congrats

Hold it down for me until I get there Lmao i was surprised by the bonus I received because I hadnt expected much. (I hadnt even looked into it until I was at about 95% lol.) I'd definitely recommend the dice strategy to help boost your progress-- super low risk, solid rakeback and fairly rapid progression 👍.

At any rate, I appreciate your input; thanks for the comment. Congrats Show me a responsible gambler, and you are looking at the exceptions and not majority. These crypto casinos don't even have gambling controls like deposit controls, loss limits and all the other things the licensed casinos in North America and Europe have. Go on the forums across the web and you will see countless stories of people talking about their DEGEN antics, and how they over gambled etc etc Gambling has been proven to be scientifically addictive. So the more you play, the higher your chances of developing an addiction, if you were not already predisposed to be addicted before your first game ever. Why would anyone gamble away their hard earned money if they didn't already have more than enough? Only one reason, they want more. Why do people who have more than enough, gamble? In order to feel something. And those people have so much more, and it will of come to them relatively easily, this is why they behave like that. Trust me, no one who has worked extremely hard for their wealth, no matter how big it is, gambles. Actors, rock stars, yeah, you will find degen gamblers there, the money seems easy to them. You won't find Elon Musk or Bill Gates and the like gambling in a casino. You will find that the majority of casino's income is made up by problem gamblers and not by the very few people who enjoy watching a passive game that they have no control on the outcome of. So if you really are only gambling 5% of your total income, all the while putting away enough for your retirement (40% minimum) after you've paid all your living costs......Then bravo! You are the exception and one of the unicorns. Go forth and multiply more of these unicorns, as we've got enough degens in the world already!
Girliee Posted December 24, 2021 #64 Posted December 24, 2021 heartfelt Congratulations to you @PaScal161616 🤗
