My dad gambled away more than 8 million Swedish kronor (at that time around 1 million dollars).

No inheritance for me:(

He even borrowed money from criminals (luckily without telling me, since I would have done something that could have risked my life).

Very serious addiction (and an alcoholic at the time also). Always chased losses and could not get over that he once missed a VERY big win by just one goal in overtime that was too long by a mistake by the soccer referee.

I can feel the need to chase losses and I had a hard time quitting when losing when I played poker more seriously, so part of his addictive genes are passed on.

I have to stay away from casino games and alcohol but have discipline and good bankroll management in poker and sports betting.

It is almost some sort of situational irony that I have earned more money on different kinds of betting and poker than I have on any "regular job".

Even with my family situation, I'm totally against the rules and regulations the Swedish government has implemented.

With no bonuses, no rake-back, and not even freerolls allowed it some sort of collective punishment just to try to stop a small number of gambling-addicted people.

And you just can't compete on equal terms anymore. Plus bonus hunting and matched betting are impossible if you don't buy accounts from someone living in another country.

I think you have some similar restrictions in Germany.
