Sorry to hear about your situation.

Good on you for trying to share your experiences with the forum so that others can avoid making the same mistakes. It is truly a shame that these things still happen. People should be educated on the pitfalls on gambling, and the very real risks that come with it. Gambling is not a way to become wealthy - it is merely a tool to gain entertainment if you have spare funds.

No matter what you say to yourself to justify it, it is never okay to take out loans to gamble. Unfortunately, I see that all too much even in online casinos, with strangers loaning money to each other. That is enablement that needs to be avoided like the plague, in my honest opinion.
