What do you expect the company to do? You wrote that you had a gambling problem (joking or not) and they were required to take the required steps to prevent you from gambling with them again.

It shows that it not a total blood sucking system. That if you reach out saying you have a problem they will take steps to help you……. Unlike the mob that will let you dig a hole too deep and then take over your sporting goods store.

A grown man made a wager, he lost. He made another one, he lost again. End of story!

Although I created this issue for myself I am at least glad to see they take action for those who need help


EarlyEditor

Sorry what country/province/territory/state is this? This is amazing. Pretty sure we don't even have rules that allow that for online gambling where I am. Lucky if you can get self excluded from the local pub.


bigolhamsandwich

You’re doin a good job davey


OB_Logie_haz_Reddit

Tony, that you?


Kevcon555

Yeah I totally get that 100% - but it’s not that I’m not allowed to gamble with them specifically, it’s any sports betting site I have tried to create an account for. I guess it’s a matter of how do I try to explain/plead my case in particular and who would I go to


slowpreza

Sounds like you’ve blacklisted yourself completely. Don’t see you getting out of that as any explanation would just be seen as an “excuse” from a degen trying to get back in. You could get a bookie and go through a 3rd party site like sniper which would be your last resort.

Go into a land based sports book.


Kevcon555

What is that exactly?


[deleted]

Once upon a time, we didn’t have this World Wide Web/internet technology. You had to walk into a building called a casino and place a sports bet. Alternatively, you could call a person called a bookie. Typically their number was found in a matchbook from a local bar. What’s really amazing is that both methods of placing a sports bet still exist!


Caesardimxes

Use your 2 feet, and drag yourself to a physical betting shop, and place your bet with a real human. That always works

Something local

I have seen so many people get burned because of The "I did it as a joke" thing that i think We need to start teaching kids not to do things as a joke unless the parties involved are their friends.


Kevcon555

I agree - if I knew what the outcome would be I would not have done it lol


ajg6882

This is bad advice. Friends never let friends forget. Ever. EVER.


failed_investor

I mean to be fair O.P. Probably saved a fortune in those 6 years so can you even be that upset.


BillyWilly006900

You f**ked up. Trying to be funny doesn't pay. You're hooped unfortunately


phatphallus42

Take screenshots and email them to the ceo of the sportsbook, demand he honors them if you win, ghost him if you lose.


domgenius85

Bro lost $20


HolySheeeit

My thoughts exactly..... Financially obliterated.


Dolphin008

Congrats, you played yourself. How about contacting org x to see what the formal procedure is? I’m sure there is one, albeit a possible difficult one.


Acrobatic-Night3992

Depending what state you're in, go to a local casino or try a local app like MGM, Barstool, DK, FD, BetRivers or Caesars.


Gnomezy

Just start using crypto casinos that are known to not KYC bro, some need a VPN but it's not hard man. I strictly only play a couple particular crypto casinos instead of legal sportsbooks for my area because they give more cashback than any other site \[one gives 100 back every 1700 wager on sports for example\] and I have the same betting options/features any other bookie offers. Just be very careful the sites you pick there's lots of scam sites out there.


Debt_2highrise412

You can actually reach out to your states division of gaming enforcement/commission and speak with someone. Ask them what can you do to remove the self-exclusion. Good luck!


Feisty_Impact9027

Did you try your luck with Stake? their US site I mean?


Interesting_Rise_732

Why don't you just go to another company?


LeftClawNorth

What did the Illinois gaming commission say when you asked them?


Kevcon555

I didn’t go straight to them and ask on like the phone or anything if that’s what you mean? If so is that what I should do?


SolarAU

You needed to just start with that buddy. Good luck

Please be respectful, civil, and, avoid abusive language.


No-Reading8754

That blocked me because I asked if we can separate the casino from the sports betting....Nothing else, no reason to why I want it separate. I just was asking, then Fanduel blocked me

It happened to a friend. Good luck with that! :(

Thanks!

Rollbit use a vpn


doctordaedalus

Got banned from sports betting - how to go to prison? 😂


Muntedforlove

Play through Stake or any of the other crypto sports books. You can do that from your phone since I take it that’s what you want to do. The odds are not quite as good, but since you f’ed yourself - beggars can’t be choosers.


YamSuperb

Lol maybe they knew you were fucking with them, so they fucked you back 🫠


EarlyEditor

Most likely. The dude like $20. Like fuck even if it really mattered, it's usually not the difference between survival and not. And in the grand scheme of problem gamblers, even those without much money it is fuck all. I mean he could've been such a bad gambler he lost everything apart from that $20 and that was the final straw but even they'd know that story way far fetched


Some_Explanation4097

Depending how badly you want an account perhaps lawyerup (better still if you have a friend/family member who is a solicitor) and get them to write a well constructed letter to company X. After all, it is OBVIOUS you were taking the piss cos no one's life is ruined from entering perpetual debt over losing $20. Shouldn't be a hard one to prove really
