    To be honest, I am surprised that I write such things, but they just came on to me. I am an adult 34-year-old, married man. Just like everyone else, I have mortgage, child, hated work, beer on the weekends. I also like to play in Bloodborne to kill Father Gascoigne for a while (such a Speedrun for leisurely people). And before everything was kind of good in the family, my wife takes care of the child, I work. She sleeps at night, and I play. Then everything changed. In the last month, I have begun to notice that my wife has started to use her credit card more actively. At first, I didn’t pay attention to it, it still becomes more expensive, the child grows - the costs are increasing. But in recent days, growth has become an avalanche, while all this was accompanied by the constant irritability of my wife. She reproaches that instead of playing the same game at night, it would be better to find a part-time job, bring extra money into the house. I'm a healthy working family guy, I want to play Bloodborne, I want Dark Souls, I have a right. I decided to talk to my wife about what was happening. She lied that there were unforeseen expenses, etc. I believed it at first. In the evening, when I went to see my wife in the bedroom, I found that she was playing slots on her phone. I made her stop, at that moment she had about $ 200 in her account. It turned out that she had already lost about $ 2,300. I was already thrown into a fever, it turns out that I work, work, she reproaches me for playing Bloodborne, which does not bring financial losses to our family, while she herself sinks money into the casino. I took all her credit cards from her, promised not to play anymore. We have made a request for a withdrawal. It was expected the next day, but no payment was received. I contacted the support, we were told that the application was queued and awaiting processing, and this would take a couple of days. Two days later, we contacted support again, where they asked us to send photos of our credit card for verification. After the photos were sent, we waited three more days, at which time the status of the application was written “in progress”. On the fourth day, we contacted the support again and, to our great surprise, learned that the photographs of the credit card were of poor quality and needed to be redone. We redid those, sent, contacted support to clarify whether they received the photo and whether they are satisfied with the quality of the photos. This time everything was fine with them, but we were told to wait because the queue for the withdrawal is very long. Since then, we are waiting. This shithole is called Ruby Fortune.Have you ever been in that situation? I would like to return at least my pitiful 200 bucks, this is not even a win, my beloved wife lost more than 2 thousand! As I think, I'm just trembling with anger ... And these deceivers are dragging out time, apparently, they think that a person will not stand it and will waste the rest of the money ...And one more question, who may have come across when your loved one is sick with gambling addiction? We are all sick in our own way at the games, but I mean with the dependence on the casino. How to behave? What to do? We have a child ...

    Getting your $200 back from the gaming site is the least of your problems. Your wife has a serious gambling addiction that you need to focus on because she can always find another way to gamble and lose more money. Here in the U.S. there is Gambler's Anonymous and they seem to have chapters all over the world. If you are not in the U.S., you can find a list of their international chapters here: https://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/addresses

    If you are both gambling it is because you are bored and need something to fill your lives. Find something that you can all do together as a family. Perhaps go bicycling together or go to a park for walks or even eat together in a restaurant, but do it together not apart as you are doing now.

    Bloodborne is my favorite video game of all time.
    Its fascinating world presents a perfectly balanced challenge that is approachable without being overwhelming or infuriating.
    The lore of this game is so interesting and intriguing.
    The boss battles are easily the most incredibly designed bosses I've ever faced and the level design is FromSoft at the peak of their powers.
    There aren't a ton of games I find myself replaying as time goes on, but Bloodborne is one that I come back to without question.
    But for those who want an intriguing and thought-provoking world, accompanied by excellent bosses and world design, Bloodborne is the game for you.

    There's your first problem, get a job that you don't hate, or a family you actually like.
    I'm sure your wife loved going to bed alone, knowing you'd rather be playing with a console than snuggling with her.
    You really don't.
    That was the right thing to do
    Why do I get domestic violence vibes from this?
    You two need marriage counselling. If she's not officially addicted at this point then working on your marriage and finding out why she's so unhappy that she's used slots to fill the void is your first step.

    The solution may be as simple as you spend more time together, she may need to get a job. Can you switch roles? Can your child go to daycare? You may have decided that she'd stay home until the child goes to school or reaches a certain age. If that decision needs to be revisited then do it. Don't hold her to a decision she made when she didn't understand what that really involved.

    Especially in a pandemic. I loved my kids when they were small but I worked part-time and we were always off doing things, visiting friends and family, different beaches and parks. Right now we're in lockdown in NZ and the weather is crap. We can take kids out for an hour but we can't visit friends, we can't leave our suburb. The most exciting thing we have is going to the supermarket. Parenting right now is so different. If it doesn't match expectations then your wife needs support not anger.
    It's sweet that you think a gaming app will be ethical with your money.
    As @jrbiz noted, there are organisations that specialise in gambling addiction.

    oh, and finally, it could be worse, she could play ingress

    To get started, I advise you to contact Helpline https://www.begambleaware.org If I were you, I would go to the site that collects player reviews https://rubyfortunereviews.com/ this is something like a quality control service. All you need is to leave the review there and they will immediately contact your manager. Also, it is better not to give your wife money, does not matter what she says.
