    How long have you been on the online gambling scene?

    im 32 , been at it for quite some time now, something to be proud of i guess, im not a degenerate i just play to occupy time and for entertainment. I'm down in my lifetime but that's ok i guess it's worth it esp. if it's money you can afford to lose

    MRivera42, you only 32? I had you pegged as much much older.

    Around the same.

    I still remember playing casino online & being able to withdraw multiple times daily & it instantly going to my Paypal account.

    I remember one single week in particular i had about 7 checks from payouts heading my way.

    You could win $100 or whatever amount & withdraw it immediately.

    Play a few more minutes & repeat.

    One thing that stands out the most from those days is bonus hunting.
