Long story short. Lost 8k last november. Stopped and played again 2 weeks ago. Recouped my losses and went up 25k. I keep getting the urge to go back and when i do, i do 1k increments of deposits till maybe 5k then make it back and then some. I know i need to stop before i never make it back up but its so hard. I made an account for all the casinos registered in ontario and then self excluded myself from all of them individually after my last withdrawal. But its so hard to remove the urge or forget about playing cuz ive been losing then making it back up and more and being tech savvy I know ill find a way to play somehow. Someone wake me up!😭

Quit while you can. You will have these same urges if you won 100k more and eventually give it all back.

Ive had similar experience and its pretty hard for me to stop if i am ”winning” I think that you should invest the money or put it somewhere safe where you cant use it. If you keep playing, u will lose eventually, thats how it works.
I know you are likely to play so if you decide to play online, set strict deposit limits before playing! If you decide to play in physical casino, bring only small amount of cash, and NO cards where you can play. Dont be tempted to chase losses! It’s very rare to go positive 25k dont try to do that again. But better is to not play at all obviously and put it far away into sp500, gold or btc.
You will lose it all. The story is always the same. Sorry.
