Good day to all! I am a mother of two beautiful children, the eldest is 5, the youngest is only a year old. I am running like a hamster in a wheel every day. There is no possibility to begin working yet. My husband works as a security guard in a bank, and we live on his salary. We have to take some money from savings on regular basis; otherwise, we will not be able to live. Recently, we calculated our family expenses, and it turned out that we could live like that for about a year, and then I would be able to begin working. I calmed down a little and thought – “fine, we will get through this”.
However, yesterday I went to buy groceries. I tried to pay with a card, but the cashier told me that there was not enough money! I even smiled, because it could not be real. Not so long ago, together with my husband, we checked the balance, there were almost 3 thousand dollars! But then I didn't feel like laughing, there really wasn't any money. So, it turned out that my husband lost everything in an online casino.
He immediately admitted where he spent the money. Only then, I understood why he was so weird lately. In the evenings, he was sitting alone on the couch. He did not play with the children and did not drop the phone out of his hands. I had already started being jealous, but in fact, this happened! I am just in shock! I wonder how I will feed the children. On what will we live?
The main thing is, imagine, he did not even win anything, he was just making deposits, hoping to win the jackpot. He says that he tried hard for his family. But he lies, in fact, he just became addicted to games. We got to the point of divorce, but then we thought about children. What are they to blame for? We decided to withdraw the rest of the money. It turned out that he did not have time to lose everything. Of course, $ 450 is not such a big amount, but believe me, when there is not enough money in the family; this is a huge support for children!
My husband ordered the withdrawal; I was sitting next to him and watching. He did everything right, it only remained to wait a little. But neither an hour later, nor a day later, the money was not credited to the account. We were on edge, especially my husband. We began writing to support. They answered - "wait". Well, we waited another day, and then wrote them 3 times, and finally, the casino responded, and demanded to pass verification. My husband urgently sent all the documents that were requested, and we began waiting again. We almost believed that we would soon get our money back. A day later, we started writing to support again, but it was useless, there was no answer. Moreover, on the same day, my husband's account was blocked for violating the rules of the casino.
Moreover, there were no violations. By the way, this fucking casino is called Ruby Fortune. As I understand it, he committed a crime while he was trying to withdraw the remaining 450$ out of 3000 of our hard-earned money? People, this is our own money, he did not win anything at the casino at all!
Now I do not know what to do, we are barely making ends meet. There are debts for utility payments. How to pay – I cannot even imagine. Today I went to the shop, bought basic products, and took those that were in stock. I stood at the fruit counter and did not take anything to the children. It will get worse further, it really bothers me. My husband does not play anymore, he is probably scared, but it is too late. Maybe someone knows what to do in such a situation, how to force the casino to return the money? Or, there are no miracles? Thank you in advance for any advice. Crying will not help, so I need to do something!
A very disappointing lunch. Should pubs and restaurants be more honest.
