I am VIP gold over there fwiw and have earned 15k tier credits in the last 3 weeks.

[veriableodds]

I understand they are a public traded company and all that. Problem I have you can't go anywhere physical like a brick-and-mortar joint. So technically it's just a digital platform. It would be different say if its offshore, but you know they actually have books at real physical casinos.

[BeatTheJerk]

This guy is the fuckin’ best OMG hilarious 🤣

[Eddy Munny]

Get help, dude. That's downright pathetic.

[pablo222]

I would forward your post history from SBR to assure them that you have this under control and have been doing this for many years.

Does DK hang lines on the Puppybowl?

[bjb7223]

wtf

[str]

They are covering their rear end of any back end liability your betting records and deposits might reflect.

I sure wish you would think about changing your approach to betting.

It's a mindset and if you can change yours, you will be so much happier in life.

But that's up to you. Nobody can talk you in to that but yourself.

You seem like a good guy and I wish you all the luck there is to wish.

I wish you peace my man.

[BeatTheJerk]

ThaWoj beats Captrobey any day of the week when it comes to true degeneracy. I respect this posters honesty & doesn’t just share his “winning days” like some posters here.

[Bigbill365]

Yeah that’s one thing not to do also if your requesting a withdrawal don’t say I need this money now it’s my only money or anything like that they’ll pause the withdrawal and restrict account

[Nate rasta]

Offshore books give me cash free plays occasionally when I on a loosing streak.You can't say things like "I'm broke" or "I'm in a really bad place" those are red flags.

[ThaWoj]

What you guys dont get is I wasnt talking to draft kings. I have a host for vip gold which is supposed to give me expedited and priority support...who always says reach out if you need any bonuses, promos, support etc

[ThaWoj]

Also i sent that in 6/2 and just getting this on 6/5...were they hoping I would deposit in between then?

[Thefix13]

I too am worried about you

[Headsterx]

Generation Gamble on CNBC is on tonight @ 10p...

[pavyracer]

It doesn't matter how much free plays they give you. At the end of the day you will lose it all. You are not gambling for fun at this point. You have a disease. Seek help and try to enjoy the rest of your life without gambling involved.

[ThaWoj]

Another thing I failed to mention is I gave these fuks a ton of action, it wasnt like I was free loading. I wagered over 150k worth of action since may 1st. I felt that warranted at least asking for a free bet.

A lot of the sites will allow you to transfer your vip status to them you might want to contact a couple others i know Points Bet has a special vip status

Gambling isn't for fun. It's too win money. That's it.

Tha woj is trying but he has no control.

[gauchojake]

Amazing customer service.

[JIBBBY]

Nothing like a degen broke gambler asking for freebies then getting the boot.

Classic move! LOL.

[Goat Milk]

Try and milk every one of these companies for everything. F them. I see no issue with your request.

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Did you say 150k since May 1

[TheMoneyShot]

DK is worried about players? That's an effing joke. They allow people from majority of US to play... open accounts. But there are safety issues... financially? Get the F out of here acting like you're protecting us. Love how they give us players a pat on the back and say... there there.... it's time to take a break... you've played too much. It all started with men wanting to become women.... and women wanting to be men. Now... we have casinos who STEAL OUR MONEY... yet.... they are PROTECTING US FROM ABUSE. LOL You can't make this sh## up.

WOJ... I'm all for you man... you simply asked for a few free plays... nothing wrong with that. It's business. Then they think you have an issue?? Is this like a drug dealer saying... hey man... you're TOO HIGH. I can't sell to you today. lol F this world.

[allabout the $$$]

wagered. very easy to do in a month

the wording about being broke must have triggered that response, some of these states must be telling the companies to not allow people to gamble if they aren't billionaires... like the beer companies saying "drink responsibly"! that's the last thing a beer company wants you to do

in illinois i've had messages flash across the screen saying "you have made $3000 in bets in the last 30 minutes, here's a phone number for gamblers anonymous"

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Not by me!

5k a day is out of control IMO.

Unless you are so loaded that when a serious play comes up, it's 25k.

But that would be playing with the thought of trying to beat the game not get the daily fix.

My average bet is between 100-250. Just tons and tons of action. Yes, when I go on runs I always feel like its never enough and my problem is I want to pay off all my debts with my winnings in 1 24 hour session

[captrobey]

Why did you make the above statements? - Because i Love you .

Are you comfortable with your current level of play? No - But neither are you

Are you currently in any kind of financial bind due to your gaming activities?- I sell my sperm to buy Big Macs and a small fry .

Do you ever find yourself chasing your losses? Yes that is why i run fast

Are you depositing and engaging on our platform within your means? Yes normally i am naked when i do it but i sometimes wear socks

Are you solely dependent on Bonus Bets for your continued engagement on DraftKings?- Yes if we are engaged the least i can expect if i do not get a ring is a bonus bet

Do you need a break from DraftKings?- Yes so i went and brought a Kit Kat bar.

Why do you want your account re-opened? Do I ?Yes , No, Maybe- it is all the same . Have you seen my other sock?

U r lucky they did not order a welfare check on u

Simple question. Go to your Transaction Summary > Lifetime. What does it say for "wagers and entry fees" and "winnings". If you've bet a lot and your winnings is less, just stop. In other words, are you up?

And yeah, if you tell a book you are broke and desperate, those are red flags and they will shut you down.

[Optional]

YI keep losing and I am really broke.

Responsible Gambling guidelines mean any US licensed book you say things like "I am broke", "I need this money to pay bills", "I need this withdraw today to pay for my dieing mother's medical expenses" are required to investigate or suspend your account.

Try and milk every one of these companies for everything. F them. I see no issue with your request.

Well you might end up with a suspended account then too if you "milk them" by crying poor.

DK is worried about players?

They care about their license as well as being sued by players for losses later.

If they ignored Woj he could set them up for a civil court case down the track.

5k in a day is nothing. I'm already above that right now.
