That 2018 exodus crowd still around?

Sitting here with cold coffee, Saturday morning, thinking how many of us washed up here after the UKGC killed credit card deposits. Six years on and I still recognise the same usernames from the Curacao stampede threads.
Anyone else from that wave still kicking? Or you lot all post-2021 arrivals who've never known a casino that didn't need crypto or a middleman e-wallet?
Just checking in. Slow-pay diary finally closed, feeling settled enough to look up from my own sheet for once.

Still here, still refreshing the same threads at daft hours. 2018 Feels like another person tbh — back then I was bouncing off walls, now im just pleased when goldencrown pays at 3am without making me beg. Promised myself 500 last session, hit 847, didn't even flinch just cashed out. Thats the real exodus, learning when to shut up and leave — still working on it lol

That 3am relief hits different when you've earned it the hard way. Six years back I was the same — bouncing, chasing, convinced every near-miss meant the machine owed me. Now it's the quiet wins that matter. goldencrown at 3am with no drama, that's the promise you actually kept to yourself.
Know the feeling of that 500 sitting there and talking yourself down from the ledge. Sometimes the discipline *is* the win.

Still here, same crowd, tighter margins — that 2018 credit card cutoff just moved the edge seekers to crypto and Curacao, didn't kill us. Six years on and im still chasing +EV reloads, just now it's mBit hourly spins instead of 5% visa cashback. Your cold coffee's the only thing changed, mate

Logan that mBit hourly thing — proper mad init, six years and we're still just moving the furniture around. I had my 1800x on Goldenbet back in March and I'm still chasing that *shape* of hit, whether it's visa cashback or some hourly wheel. Crypto just made the chasing quieter, not slower.

Ronaldbark's right — were just shuffling chairs on the same deck that 1800x shape, I know it. Had mine on goldenbet march too, different game same fever.
Your mbit hourly though — thats the new squeeze play, isn't it? 2018 We hunted card cashback edges, now its velocity against house grind. Same maths, faster treadmill.

Ronaldbark chasing the *shape* of a hit from March like it's a ghost you can spreadsheet. The 1800x wasn't EV, it was variance wearing a good suit, and you're still dry-cleaning it.

Luca_espresso aye mate that credit card ban was a proper fork in the road wasn't it — I remember sitting in my flat in Glasgow proper raging at the screen, thinking *thats it then, game's over*
Six years and here we are still, same faces different URLs
Tbh sometimes I wonder if were the survivors or just the ones who couldn't sit still long enough to get properly locked out
