If you no longer enjoy playing, just stop it. You should be old enough to know, that you can`t win in casino games against the house in the long run. Focus on your poker games instead.

I bet you know what is going on with you. Just take a break from it, and i mean all of it, slots poker etc and see how this is affecting your life. If you cant deal with it by yourself, ask the help of some relative or a friend. One of the reasons they are in our lives

Pelinimed. Hooked on casino and slots? The simple answer is just play more...it'll make you feel...... ahh! NO! It'll make you feel worse when you lose. Note I say WHEN you lose, not IF, cos you will lose. That's how slots are designed. So! What do you do? Easy! Stop going to the casino. Ask them to bar you from entering! As for online..... uninstall all the casino games that you have access to. If you want to focus on a return to poker, disable all of the casino add ons on your poker clients. Additionally, update your settings on each site to prevent you from making any deposits. Then get back to poker and play long and hard for small amounts of money that you can reinvest into poker. I also like the idea of getting away and playing on the PS4 or Xbox. Get yourself involved in a modern warfare or GTA episode and don't stop till you ave finished the whole thing. Then get back to poker....and IGNORE and DONT play casino. If it doesn't get any better, go see your doctor and ask for help!

I think that if you are not enjoying the game anymore, you should stop playing. It seems like you just want the buzz of winning and are willing to risk it all on getting this feeling. Perhaps gambling is not for you and you should just stop. Good luck to you on whatever you decide to do
Like others have said, if you don't enjoy the game, why play? You want quick easy money but what are you going to do with it if you do win it? Sure it's quick and easy when you win but it's even easier and quicker to lose if you aren't lucky. It's a double edge sword and the casino's blade is sharper.
Besides, you're most likely gonna spend it or gamble it away when you do win so it's a win/win for them!

all kind of casinos can be problem,is it casino in your town or online casino!when you are online and you have money on visa,you can always deposit amount in few seconds!if you dont have interest in poker,you can try to play some other games!try bingo for free or something else!
You can setup your own deposit limits on all Poker Sites/Casino sites . I had a similar problem on 888Casino six months ago they suspended my account because I was playing to many slot games and had my account reactivated a week ago with only Poker games and casino games restricted. Slots are probably the most addictive games especially when chasing jackpots. O.L.G. slogan Know your limit play within it.

At his point vic its not about setting limits i believe or getting excluded from some games. He needs to stay away for a while, from any form of gambling. More human interaction will help with this. He can start other activities that didnt have the time before, because he was gambling

I could understand why you not enjoy play poker anymore, cause you chasing profit and that's really hard get from poker. Like anyone said, you will not make profit from casino except you have talent as gambler. Do you already make profit ? if not, try to stop and change your mind, we play poker for fun, profit is bonus
and then came the law prohibiting these slot machines, and the problem is over ... and I'm smarter than online and I had a problem with gambling some time ago ... then the place where there were slot machines were everywhere ... literally everywhere ... mainly poker and so if I lose that is not very much

Sometimes nearly every Player lost the fun at the games and than it was the right moment to take a break. If you Play the same game over a lomg time, you lost your Motivation. But if you Play without fun, than you have a Little Problem with gambling in my opinion
profits,the other day i was in debt,completely ignoring
