Lost 600 Dollars Casinos

Hey, I just turned 18 and was super excited to go to the casino. I went by myself (which I had already knew was bad) In a few hrs I lost $600 and would have probably lost more but my card limited me. After losing I feel extremely depressed. $600 to a college student is a significant amount of gas money, car insurance, cell phone bill and food expenses. So the 600 is gone but what I am really worried about is my remaining few thousand in my bank account. I have an extreme urge to want to make the 600 back. I know that is common but a very scary urge. I know when I go back I will want to make at least 600 dollars back to make up for my losses. I have already convinced myself that when I go back I just want to break even and leave.. I had a great time on my 18th birthday. We went to the strip club and I thought turning 18 would be my best years ahead. After spending 100 dollars at the strip club and losing 600 to the casino and wanting and having a strong urge to make my money back, turning 18 has been a nightmare that I want to get out of. Any advice helps, thank you.

Lost 600 Dollars Casino Atlantic City

I started gambling in late 2012 and then stopped for few years. Then I was back in North America where casino is everywhere. I started going there again and mostly have lost. Now a day I lose close to 2k every time I go. I have scared to look back and calculate how much I have lost. I know I can't get those back now. The casino reports payouts to gamblers on a form W-2G if winnings exceed a threshold amount. The current thresholds are $1,200 for bingo or slots; $1,500 for keno, $5,000 for a poker tournament and $600 for other games if the payout is more than 300 times your wager. For keno and poker winnings, casinos deduct your wager or buy-in.
