You Can’t Win ‘em All

For every story of someone who has won a bundle, there is a nice depressing story of someone who has lost it all. These two men are no different. To a Greek player who won more than a million dollars and an Australian that has lost it all – it is one more day in the world of online gambling.

Our Greek player for example was lucky enough to win $1.5 million at the online slots. K. Vasileiadis was playing the Super Seven online slots game when he hit is big. The company says that he had been playing at the Paradise Casino when he won it big – and we can only assume that he is one of the happiest people on earth today.

Our Australian player on the other hand is looking at possible jail time as he defrauded several people to keep up his online slots and gambling ban. Kym Andrew Sellers was a shares trader who took more than $320,000 from his clients over a two and a half year period. Sellers was an online slots addict, and used the money he had access to in order to take his clients for a ride.

He pled guilty in criminal court and is facing jail time as a result of his crime. In the end, his company says that they had to purchase back the shares he sold to get gambling money, so they are now out more than a half a million dollars as they had to buy back the shares at a profit.
