A Great Loss in just Two Months for a Fresh Gambler in Australia
Public Group active 2 years, 1 month agoAccording to one worker of an Australian casino, ‘playing games of chance is like water: you can either drink it or not.’
A Chinese national Binbin Du played for eight hours daily at Crown Melbourne Casino. His personal life was ruined, and he lost 300,000 dollars in two months. Starting from November 2019, he gambled regularly at the Southbank casino. But after examination of the casino, it turned out that he spent too much money, and the casino didn't check and control it. The player himself admits playing a lot and not noticing that he overspent his bankroll. The casino is being under investigation because this case gained a lot of publicity. In Du’s words, it is a disgusting experience. He added that he didn't see that he was grievously addicted.
Binbin Du came from Jilin province in China where he studied law before he moved to Brisbane in Australia in 2002. His passion was the game of baccarat. This unlucky punter told the judge that this was the game of selection for most Chinese gamblers. Some experts at online casinos hold the view that if he played in a reputable Aussie Online Casino, he could escape such big losses since trusted online gambling platforms support responsible gambling and often set limits in online games as to the maximum bets. Checking the best new online casinos would have helped him not to incur debts. And the money lost is big.
According to Du, when he was playing, another punter lost $2m in about half an hour playing his beloved game of baccarat. That offline casino is known to attract lots of high rollers. And such venues allow placing bets in the amount of 150,000 dollars per hand, which is an incredible sum.
Du said that he had a lot of acquaintances who showed bad examples of ruining their lives by gambling in casinos. When Du lost his job in 2017, he first placed bets on sports events to pass the time and earn money. But experts say that gambling is not a way of earning money. It is just a pastime; so, punters should opt for online gambling, which allows playing not only for real money but for free virtual money as well. There are also a lot of online casinos with live games, including baccarat.
Unfortunately, this player from Australia JokaVipRoom casino had a lot of losses, and his marriage collapsed the following year. Determined to win, he used online gambling platforms and placed some bets from Brisbane. Du was gambling again and again, and he even sold three properties to gamble at different casinos. He was truly addicted. He started with bets of $50 per hand at blackjack JokaRoom Vip Login, but then, he was invited to a VIP zone with incredible offers and bonuses for deposits. The unlucky punter was losing thousands of dollars daily.
Only six weeks later did the employees of the casino start talking about responsible gambling and limiting budgets for gambling. But at that point, Du was seriously addicted and didn't care about his gambling budgeting. Of course, he started realizing that something went wrong and complained to workers about his budget, but one of the staff members said, "Gambling is similar to water: you can either drink it or not." So, Du was complaining to the court that the Aussie casino approved of the practice allowing players to lose huge amounts of money. Du told the court that nothing would change since casinos were big businesses.
There are many reports on excessive spending at casinos and neglecting responsible gambling at Australian casinos. A different man told the prosecutors that his sister committed suicide after getting hooked on gambling at the Crown Melbourne Australian casino. Again, it was reported that nobody checked the fact she played almost every night.
In Australia, there is a special hotline for victims of this addiction and their relatives. You can dial the crisis support service at 13 11 14.
