For me, winning isn't just about withdrawing your money from an online casino it's also about having control over the money you use for gambling and over yourself. Sometimes, you might be able to withdraw your winnings, but if you end up depositing it back into another online casino because you lack control, you're not truly winning (Based on my own experience). That's why I believe you're real winner when you can control your gambling habits.
True because not everyone that withdraw their money use it wisely therefore I think too that how we spend our wins from gambling is the real winning but before we can spend it, it has to be withdrawn. People would do not withdraw but continue gambling is making a mistake because a time will come when you can not control yourself and you will use the money that is in your account to gamble. Real winners know how to use their money for things that will make them rich and not for things that will not be useful to them. Many gamblers that I know off and those that I read about are always very wasteful with their money and they return back broke after a short time therefore after withdrawing your money, we have to make good use of them just as you have said or we did not really win anything.
But if we can withdraw that money, we can use it for anything we want even we can spend it to buy the unnecessary thing that we don't need. That happen to many people who can withdraw their win money because they thinks that they still have much money that they can use for other things.
They don't realizes that if they can not use that win money properly, they will just spend it without give a good result for their life. When we can be wise using our win money properly, we can change our life to be better than before and we can prepare our future with better.
That is why we must have controls for ourselves especially if we receive the big money from gambling so we can prepare our future. Real winners will not spend the money for the unnecessary thing instead will make a plan for their life and their future.
