How Staking Ruined Their Lives - (OSRS Mini-Documentary)

- My first experience in the duel arena wasn’t a good one. I teleported in lost 3 or 4 stakes in a row, and lost around 5 mil in GP, I went back in with another 5 lost all that too. By the time I finally left the arena I had lost around 14 mil and 10 or so stakes. Later that night I decided to try and win it back, I did but lost it all again just a few stakes later.
If you believe you or a loved one has a gambling problem, please seek help.

This video is a re-upload because a users who’s clips I used felt as if I was painting them as a RWTer. This was not my intention whatsoever and I deeply apologize. I have chosen not to name them so no hate gets sent their way. To be fair to them I didn't ask their permission to use these clips as well. Anyway, enjoy!
If you could spread this video around I would greatly appreciate it because I’ve lost out on a LOT of views. Thanks!

Every staking addict ever:
OnE mOrE wiN aNd I'm dOnE
I made 5m slaying, staked it into 40m and lost it in a couple of minutes.
Now Im homeless with 99construction.
Should try some thieving then.
Just slay again
Lol go to thieving
Selling his house to stake. Whats up with your brain?
Amateur numbers
Gambling addiction is the reason why i'm playing on a ironman right now.
Same I just created an iron man today, never going back to a regular account.
@@Soulfly415 nigga shut your ass up
@@Soulfly415 How does one get addicted to alcohol, tobacco, caffeine and other drugs?
Addiction preys on you enjoying it when you do it, think about it, why does someone drink if they hold the mentality *(*it can take some fucking strong will to remind your brain to not release happy dopamine hormones during anything that CAN become an addiction*)* that's it's not enjoyable, answer? They don't, people do addictions because they tell themselves that it's fun and makes them happy.
There are also studies that show Addiction Tendencies / Addictive Personality (sometimes suffixed by Disorder) is genetic, now some studies stretch the literal definition of genetic but almost all (if not all) studies point to Addictive Personality (Disorder) / Addictive Personality as being developed from the environment they grew up in, whether that's Scratch Offs that your parent/family members buy it something like Tobacco not being taboo but "stress relief" glamorizing the addiction, same with alcohol and other harmful drugs, basically, Addictive Personality (Disorder) or Addictive Tendencies can be linked to be "genetic" and mainly developed as child to young adult based on your living environment and obviously people in environments where addictions are the norm and not shown in the bad light will find it not an issue to become addicted.
@@Soulfly415 Way to oversimplify addiction. Fuck off.
@@Soulfly415 When you're addicted to something, its hard to quit. And I'm sure you know that.
you can get addicted to anything so easily, simply just do it a lot and you're most likely addicted after that (if you enjoyed it which you most likely do if you do it a lot). They simply felt they needed more currency, and it's so messed up to say that. I don't know if you need like mental help or something, but personally (this is not an insult) you should seek help.
EDIT : People find it faster to stake, so they stake. I have never seen such a moron in my life.
they keep losing because they didnt talk to Oziach.. smh
Rien who is oziach
Markens Castelly noob
@@markenscastelly3810 big noob did you buy your account I'm reporting you to the FBI
Markens Castelly he gives dragon slayer quest
i dont duel but this vid wouldnt have convinced me to stop. LOL
There is absolutely nothing that can convince and addict to stop. Your addiction continues to consume you until you WANT to do something about it.
It raises awareness, at least!
@@TrendK1ller Well, it's not like you ever exactly want to do something about an addiction, it's more like having to. It's like having a shitty job, you don't want it, you're confronted with it every day, but you still need some money, so you have to put up with it.
I did one stake back when rs2 first came out. Lost an amulet of glory and said, "why the fuck did I do that?" Never went back and never plan to.
Well glory amulets used to be expensive, I logged in not too long ago and I think they were worth like 10k now lmao.
@estoban kupah it was BIS at the time and also kind of a pain in the ass to get
yes staked my zammy lgs lmaooo
I always lose the stake when I don’t do the push up emote
I will never go to the sand casino for this reason. I think we all have addictive personalities. I have enough bad habits
"Sand casino" dead 😂😂
Colonello : What if you were addicted to something, a little more harmfull? like...
me : HEROIN?
Colonello: *gambling runescape gp*
me: *no, yeah, that.*

I honestly can not fathom how people get addicted to gambling, especially in runescape. There is no gambling in runescape, it's scam or be scammed. So I guess in a way, it creates addictions to gambling because that's all it is irl too, being scammed. You never win unless you are allowed to win, only weak people get addicted to being abused.
staking made me into a real world gambling addict
Damn thats sad
Never played Runescape, and probably never will play it, but these kind of history/documentary videos have me hooked. It just seems so interesting to me that an online game has existed and had a loyal playerbase for 2 decades. Some kids who played the game when they were 7-8 are still playing the game as they grow close to their 30s. That just seems insane to me.
Yup. Used to no life Runescape almost 20 years ago. I recently got back into it but don’t really play too much since it’s too much of a grind
You think that’s crazy? Try thinking about how Venezuelans depend on it. A whole country LmFAO
Weirdly enough in that 20 year span...no one else has made anything close to it. It's 100% unique in its content and leveling system. Might not seem like it at a glance but once you play it you'll know exactly what I mean
@@Puppy_Puppington yeah, it's pretty wild that gold in a fantasy MMO is doing better than a real country's currency.
I am one of those kids 🤣
I once lost over 2 dollars playing a card game, that was all it took to not gamble ever
Ive never in the history of me playing runescape for 14 years been banned for buying runescape gold
This video makes me want to chuck my whole bank lmaooo
Jared Tingley do it
Do it pussy
Do it. You wont.

Same af
i literally went to the duel arena a few weeks back (completely unaware of the gambling issue as i'd recently returned to the game, and hadn't been to that particular place in a while) hoping for a few stakeless fights and felt both disappointed and shocked with what i instead saw
and with that, i think the duel arena removal will absolutely be for the better
One thing Jagex could do is to ban people who are addicted to the dual arena when they ask for it.
Daily staking limits could also be worth considering, there has to be a point where the only people betting THAT much have a problem.
But also who are you to stop them? I feel like people should be allowed to ruin their own lives. It sucks for them but at the end of the day no one is making them do that. Advocating for Jagex, of all entities, to dish out more bans based on arbitrary criteria such as what their personal moral code is for gambling doesn’t seem right to me. Although I’ve never been around anyone who lost their life to gambling so lol idk
They can... called deleting your account, takes about a month or so to get deleted but its in place
People can bar themselves from gaming venues with pokies / slot machines. Jagex has a responsibility to offer this option.
FrostieSr just limit the times you can duel at the duel arena
im an ex heroin and crack addict and to this day i will say runescape was my first ever addiction. im 100% not blaming runescape for my problems. i take responsibility for my actions. it wasnt even duel arena what got me hooked the game alone, is such a time sink i was running of home from school waking up earlier didn't see people cos i wanted to play, could escape reality. i play now and if im honest i see all the same behaviours i really have to watch my self. pisses me off that everything i like to do, i do to an excess amount where it becomes to much for me and start losing shit. i tell my self well at least im not injection heroin and crack anymore but if nothing changes nothing changes. anyway my input on the situation.
Look into Yoga, Meditation. Best thing I know of to get rid of dependant tendencies. I mean the real deal when I say Yoga. Look up Sadhguru.
Forgive your past self, nothing wrong with doing something you enjoy aka playing osrs for a few hours in your spare time after gym, chores are done
I remember getting sucked into MMORPGs when I was younger. MapleStory (gacha) RuneScape (staking/pvp). I too developed a heroin/meth problem that I struggled with for years. I enjoy just playing my ironman these days. But don't beat yourself up man, I get it. I've been there too. Good on you man for doing better.
I too became addicted to staking. First I tried 1m then 10m then 100m. I found myself driving deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole....I knew things were bad and I had to get help once I reached rock bottom and alched my void and untradables for scraps to try and keep up with the lifestyle. I'm happy to report that I'm doing well now. I've retired from staking and I found faith and comfort in our Lord and savior saradomin. I met a lvl 3 girl named Stacy at lumbridge and I'm doing well. I've become a full-time fisherman and now I make my living off selling the monkfish that I fish with my friend pepé. I'm happy to report I'm living a more peaceful life now.
Underrated comment.i bet they all still mad about their loses
7:19
Never seen so many adult virgins in one place lmao
I lost hundreds of bills. I originally turned my 40m bank into 10b. I got cleaned and lost the 10b. I had friends give me 10m, and i turned 10m into 10b again. I did that many times. When i had 10b, green phats were 1.8b at the time. I had a green phat, full 3rd age, every set. I forgot the name of the really beastly armor, but I had every set of that also. I had santas, 20 sets of claws, every godsword, ect ect. And max cash, 2.147b. I had every beast shield, divine ect. And somehow I would end back up at the duel arena, and I would eventually get cleaned. And then I would rebuild. I did mage boxing back when that was a thing. Had a maxed out tank with 75 att/str 99 range 99 def 92 prayer for ss. The staking thing really fucked with me. I would make BILLIONS, and still never really be satisfied. I loved being rich, because of the attention it brought, but I saw how it was ruining peoples lives. I beat chessy018, and win all day, for billions. And they beat me for billions. I was even in one of win all days staking vids losing a green phat to him. It was fun, but it also kind of ruined the game that I loved, after making 2b at the duel arena, getting a 5-10m pk meant nothing to me. I had like 200 pk sets in my bank, so it didn't even matter if I died. I would die pking, and lose 10m. And then I would go to the arena and do a 20m stake to recoup some of the cash I lost, and I would lose the 20m stake, causing me to do a 50m stake, and then I would lose the 50m, and then do a 100m stake to gain back the money I lost, and that slowly turns into you getting cleaned. I would lose the 100m stake and then id do a 200m stake, id lose that and do a 500m stake ect ect. And eventually I would be cleaned. And I cleaned people for billions, so it happened to everyone. Its very hard to restrain yourself. Just like the casino. Kinda crazy really. Just wanted to give my personal story. And I have screenshots of me winning bills if people dont believe me. Overall, I think the duel arena really ruins the amazingness of runescape.
This is why I stay away from places like this. I can earn people's trust with them knowing I'm not an addict. The ability to borrow a twisted bow from a friend and be able to give it back without the thought of selling and gambling it away is so much more powerful than the addiction it's self. Though, I know the dependency can make people think differently.
Bois don’t be spending $3+ for coffee, make your own spend like $0.50 then you only lose $183 a year
I Don't risk my Spade in the wildy...why would i at the casino?
I can't take this video serious with the dramatic music It's making me laugh.
For reals!
I staked my £80m from the ESPN deal on 07 lost it all in 2days gunna chop my head off rn
U will get it back hustle hard 🗣
Here’s an idea, completely get rid of staking. Why is jagex allowing gambling? This is supposed to be a mmo game not gambling.
I don't ever have a problem with gambling, I bought lotto tickets for a whole month and never won. I don't believe in gambling anymore, only investing.
The problem with staking is that people get greedy and don't walk so many people make a few bills and instead of just walking they get greedy and end up losing it all.
got up to 5b from 300m and was gna walk away but started staking again and lost it all LOL
Bonds 1.3m?!?! Please brimg it back haha
this is a real thing, iv lost around 4-5k usd to staking
Wow, crazy
Dumbass imagine buying gp
Jam nop, buying it is way more pathetic
Jam i bought like 2B the past 15 years and sold over 100b the past 15 years.
U G osrs then youre inbred like any 1 whi buys or sell, the gane aint that deep
I've been staking since RuneScape classic and now I live under a bridge near NYC. The only thing that could quench my staking thirst was heroin. I have to go to the library to use the internet because I have nothing now.
(Satire)
My brother lead into a fully fledged gambling addiction that almost destroyed his and his families life. I'm sure it all started because he would stake all day every day as a child. He agrees too.
If someone like Sparc Mac sells their current bank, that's a Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster!
You would have to be lucky as to not get banned after the first few billions.
I lost 4.17b in 10 minutes at the casino... now im a 10 hp hardcore ironman and this is making me enjoy the game much more...
a bond being 2m? I miss it lmao
Picture this as a Mafia type of scheme:
1. Sell something to a party/individual
2. Take that something back from said party
3. Get rid of said party so the paper trail is gone (bans)
3.5 Look like the good guy.
4. Resell the something to a different party for profit once again.
5. Repeat.
There’s always gonna be more players coming to the game to replace the banned, so...
I know this is serious but imagine later on at a meeting for ex gamblers so where did you start oh I started at the casino and you RUNESCAPE
“I turned the remaining 92M into a twisted bow”
You son of a bitch, I’m in.
We need staking and luring back.
Clicked the video to give a view strictly because of how fucking hilarious the title was
I remember the days when duel arena was alive and well.. its now a shell of what it once was
Daily I consider chucking my 350m bank in one duel but I never do, that's months of my life I'd be gambling... but damn the idea of doubling it on the spot? I can see how it could happen.
Just do it brethren
Your new Boyfriend shut up dumb fk
when i was 15, i bought 30m for a few dollars (there was no osrs at the time)
that same day i turned it into 1.1b from betting on the flower game poker.
sold it the same day for $880.
1 week before christmas. it was a christmas to remember.
In 2012 I had white phat and 2 max cash stacks. In 1 day I lost the equivilant of £2500, which at that time was 5b over the course of an 11 loss streak.
On the flipside I turned 5m into max cash in 1 session (about 5 hours long) and bought back the white phat, full torva and divine spirit shield.
Winning was awesome...losing made me volatile and I never let staking get into the real world with gambling.
I was one of the lucky ones.
seeing this dude by a bond for 2m about made me throw up.
This is like an intervention
I love how you made is so serious, it is after all an online game. Lol.
Online game with real live addictions so it being an online game is pretty irrelevant
That’s true but this currency has value.
“Adam has gone back and lost another 17m” oh ffs Adam
Cosa Nostra 17 billion*
Man I made it to the end and I’m like “noooo cmon Adam!” I didn’t think it would end this way!
"Eating ass 5k"
Thank you for taking this seriously. Things like this can still be damaging and hard to get out of for people even if it's easy for someone else to walk away.
Rewatching cuz Colonello is so good
this is so fucking dramatic and I’m here for it
I made 4b on a huge 10 winning streak. I wanted more I kept saying if I win this stake I am walking for good. Seeing 1b cash pile in my bank kept sending me back because I was bored. I wanted to feel that thrill of winning... I ended up losing it all of a massive losing streak. My bank is 600k now. Even now my rng is home. I swear once you win big you're rng goes bad and it's never the same. I think I have beaten my staking addiction. I want to enjoy the game again and get excited off a 5m drop..all that went once staking started..
time to remove the duel arena which may cut down some rwt
LightBurn no need my income
Thing about staking is no matter how many times you win or loose you run out of money the game doesn’t
loose
Never me getting a RuneScape rmt ad on TH-cam for a video about gambling addiction
Jesus christ, the way he talks about how people got introduced and then quit stalking sounds like a documentary about heroin addiction or something like that.
So happy the video is back up. I love this one.
I love your videos. These short documentary-like uploads are very entertaining and I hope you keep them coming :D
Ill watch again because last time I was slumped at like 3am 🧙🏿♂️👍🏿
im watching this slumped rn lmaoooo
@@baileyayyy5085 🚫🧢
It's actually easy to avoid if you only go in with what you're willing to lose, so you never walk away mad. I feel like anger of losing keeps bringing people back more than greed
Yeah im trying to learn flipping items (im bad so it’s basically gambling) and i risk what I’m willing to lose which is about 1-2mil
this video highlights the underlying issue - the addiction to gambling. no one is going in ready to lose everything, just like no one smokes their first cigarette planning on ruining their health. its the addiction that leads to the further issue. suggesting "its easy to avoid" isnt true
HOly crap bonds were 1.3m !!!!!!
I lost 22b in a few stakes last year. 200m start, took 12ish hours to do
Thats like $22.000
I know this is a reupload but the video is still extremely impressive, please take a break you really need it ❤️
I swear I heard Lazy Masquerade do a cameo in this video.
Duel arena is weird. I was on a winning streak for like a month , only a few stakes a day. But never lost more than 1 out of 4 stakes or so each day. And doing 10-50m stakes it added up. I lost 8 IN A FUCKING ROW the other day. Completely cleaned after being the richest I'd ever been. Gotta Love RuneScape.
Ah the days when bonds weren't 6m
Fuck bonds, 5mil isn’t shit
I've always been told and will tell anyone, stay away from the sand casino. You'll eventually lose it all
@@NorkotahYT You have the exact same chance of getting a loss streak, though, so pretty pointless 'advice'.
Runescape thought me the dangers of gambling at a young age.
Thanks, I've only staked around 10m in all my 14 year career.
feels weird to watch this video after losing 14B
lmao same. lost over 4B. Not stopping tho lmao
@@MadeWithVision na man my rng is gone after i lost the 14B i'm done with the arena
@ocelot. i can't rng is gone always get 5-10 losestreak
Lol the vid is trying to disencourage gambling and you have fiends wanting a cut of your bad luck gp lmfao. Disgusting
SPARC mac
Ash's face when they talk about duel arena. Wonder how many documents he was forced to sign about things tbey cannot talk about. I think he's mind at that time in the video is raaaambling :) thx for the video! Hope they all recover.
Bless
makes me wanna duel wtf
Lol my credit score is trash because of duel arena
I’m going to stick to cooking raw beef
I was waiting for the "jk" at the end... rip Adam
If anything this video taught me that staking has the best chance of winning on the world
That's why it's so addicting. Better odds than any casino table game or slot machine.
As somebody that dealt with a pretty hefty drug addiction that started as one thing and swayed to another over the course of 8 years, I was sad, but not surprised to see that message about Adam at the very end. I couldn't tell you how many times I have heard somebody with an issue of some kind say "Oh, that was in the past, NOWADAYS I only ever go there/do X activity to screw around and have fun."
Ah, so you go there regularly, are only doing a small margin better, yet are still staking.
Lol Ironman is the suboxone of RuneScape
alright....fine... I'm going to the duel arena
Was addicted to skin gambling in CS. I’m glad that isn’t a big thing anymore. Was nice getting from 50 to 300 but I lost everything because I was a greedy fuck. That was when I was 15/16 or so. Told me a lesson. 2015 was a great time haha
Staking didn’t ruin their lives, they did. Own up to your problems.
Bitcoin is a pixel and hate when scammers say it’s just a game or a pixel so doesn’t effect their conscious.
I always played RS as an “Average” player. 99 combats and average stats elsewhere, my bank had never been huge, most I had was around 130m at any point in my 13 years playing.
Then I found staking, I turned 5m into 50m, Lost it. Went back with 10m, lost it. Went back with my bank around 80M, won, basically over the period of days last year I went from nothing to having over 1.3B, it wasn’t enough and I couldn’t resist staking, telling myself a little 5m or 10m and I’ll leave if I lose. So in the end I chased my losses and sat at 1.1B which due to my personality, didn’t satisfy me. So I staked it and lost the lot.
Take note, don’t stake if you have an addictive personality IRL.
So being an ex addict I probably shouldn't stake?
Go for it.
Every single person has the possibility to get addicted, its human nature
I’ve made 10B, but at what cost? Being cleaned over 47 times… lesson of the story. Don’t stake. Not even once.
If you have no self control, if you have self control a 50-100k stake at the duel arena is harmless IMO. So its not the stake, but the person
@@AuRowe no shit it's an addiction. But it's also like its not really that person's fault its not they did something wrong. Like obviously yes they did it but it's an addiction very hard to shake. It's hard to always have it on your mind and for me its the only thing that makes me happy. Its very hard to live everyday with that feeling.
Found dicing at the ge, lost 10mill, knew I should never gamble again and quit the game.
osrs economy is better than the us economy as of now lol
Very glad that the Duel Arena was removed.
Wtf. They’re adults. Should we BAN everything in life because of a few irresponsible people?
The thing about dueling is that people use the skill excuse.. like oh his stre was higher creating a viscous cycle
I walked in. Took a couple dozen bil. Walked out
damn i hate bein sober
Got an ad to trade gold for real world dollars on the video telling me not too 🤣
Good as placement youtube
we all know sparc mac rwts lmao nothing new here
There's a reason why Sparc Mac wins so many stakes. Because he's a prolific streamer. When people see him win so much so consistently, they become convinced they can make easy money at the duel arena. When in fact, they can not. It's rigged. Nothing more to it. It's obvious why Jagex rigs it, because they're profiting off of the black RWT market probably far more than most normie RWTers. You will ALWAYS lose at the arena. It's rigged. Jagex can very easily control the RNG of any account and all server NPC's in any way they please without us knowing. Sparc Mac wins because he helps their underground gold sales. It's hardly a tinfoil hat conspiracy at this point. It's just pretty obvious the entire game is rigged at this point, especially when everybody you know is constantly cleaned from gambling. Don't be stupid. Invest your bank. Bot farm the game. Only do high-guarantee profit return activities.
Ryan you’ve lost it LMAO “rigged”
@@RyanKelly7373 Im going to copy pasta this to his stream, ty.
Ryan yea dude exactly, I knew this long time ago. His staking and event stream content creating is getting the name out there so of course jagex will touch his account without him knowing. Good to see finally someone with brains
Ryan also that’s why guys like “Smite yo bgs” has to have like 50+ different accounts and cannot show the name in his videos because jagex will flack those accounts and make them auto lose with the rng. Sparc mac has one of the richest banks, why? Because jagex wants him to promote what he is doing
Staking will not get you banned. Staking for commission will.
TheScore Esports just put out their own doc on this.
never went to duel arena for stakeing....and i will never do it ... allways think about the lost only and you will be safe
