Indeed. Many gamblers engage themselves in gambling due to their belief that they might gain huge and become rich. Then will blame the casino once their expectation didn't happened. But if we know what we're getting into and aware how it works, then we will not have high expectation to win. So yes it's because of the poor understanding of gamblers before deciding to use their money in gambling. It's not a get rich quick scheme since winning is not guaranteed.

The best thing to do is to adjust and understand the system because blaming the system won't change anything. Gambling is all about understanding;

 when you understand it better, you won't feel anything because you are only gambling with the amount that you can afford to lose and you are not having high expectations. The way people understand gambling can be a problem, but it is unfortunate that what matters most to gamblers is how much money can be won in gambling, while they don't take the time to gain a clear understanding of what it really is.

Good for you and I hope others can take the decision that you took and it has change your life from being someone that used to blame the casino to acknowledging where you went wrong and did some corrections. We aren't losing because the casinos are cheating or being unfair to use but because of our greed hence when we lose, we should look at the steps we took and things that we didn't do right will get revealed to us. Becoming better starts from with in yourself and not from people that don't know about your existence. If you don't stake, you aren't losing and no one except yourself can stake on the game. There isn't anyone setting the games up for you but yourself hence you have to hold yourself responsible for what the outcome of the game is.

I remember when I decided to quit in early January of this year and I completely blame the casino at that time, though honestly I was right as I have never experienced 24 consecutive buy bonuses in a row and exactly after that 5 super buy bonus lost making it in total 29 consecutive buy bonus lost in a row. On the other hand I also "thank" the casino for making me experience the worse feeling ever that ended up with a great decision on my side. Since then I have only gambled very little money with some exceptions to the rule a very few times when I got sucked in Gates of Olympus Super Scatter game lately. I had a similar experience again with this game so for me is enough even now, going back to not gambling a lot and very few times with little money.

You learned from your own lesson. Sometimes that's what it takes for a gambler to learn. They need to experience the bad things that will happen so that they will change.

Now, it's up to you what you will do next. You said you are ashamed of what happened, but it doesn't really need to be like that. We just have to learn from it. Now that you are in control, you will just have to keep it up. It's not like we are not going to change, so maybe now it's a different you, and I hope it's all for the good.

I too used to blame myself when I lost, but when I looked at it more closely, I realized that blaming never leads to success. Rather, it can only increase my depression. Moreover, I am biased and blame the casino for losing, but if I had won, I would never have blamed myself. There are many people like me who try to blame the platform without understanding it, but when they win big, they will realize their mistake. It should be remembered that gambling platforms are not here to make me win only. They are also here to profit from their business. And there is also a saying about luck. If luck is not good, then there is no point in blaming others. Those who are wise never try to blame others. Although I did not understand the matter at first, after gambling regularly for a few days, I learned to understand it myself.

It seems to me if you do continue the game, you have not got rid of your problems globally and after a while you will have the same regrets, that's all. But basically, if you changed tactics and you feel more comfortable playing, then why not. When games don't put you in debt and don't hit your budget, there's nothing wrong with them
