Sounds to me like she got very greedy with this quote
What started with $1,000 for bets on blackjack, matched by a sign-up bonus from a casino, turned into a $25,000 win that first day. That quickly led to losses, and then chasing those losses for hours a day.
I'm confused how the casinos gave her money. Maybe she meant some type of rebate? But then she still end up losing a ton of her own money
Two casinos cut me off immediately within a month," she explained. "But two kept feeding me thousands of dollars every week to keep me going. If I missed days, they would send me money – thousands of dollars."

i heard DK and Fanduel will offer "money" to some bettors for the amount they are playing. i am not sure if it is actual cash at the start like a rebate though. maybe they need to roll it over to convert to cash.

Its a nice article for people to learn from but, its the lady's own fault for losing so much. Just like any other addiction, it took over her life. They could write a similar article about drugs or alcohol.

People need to seek help before its too late....

the casual gambler will be shocked reading it. i do agree it has a purpose. but she passes the blame a lot to the books and their comps.

it def is not easy to just stop playing and chasing losses.
