We're proud to have Dan Trolaro as a key member of our team, and whether it's the first time or the 501st time, it can never be easy to share a story like his, and in such a public manner like this. He and our other lived experience staff play a vital role in our US operations, most prominently in educating student-athletes via NCAA colleges, hopefully preventing others from being affected by problem gambling.
We hope this story will help others who find themselves in a similar situation to the one that Dan describes and hope that the support pages that can be found via our company website will be helpful for anyone needing to know where they can turn for help.
Awesome! Best Wishes from Nashville Tennessee USA 🇺🇸
@@KimbradleyMasterGardener Thank you for your best wishes. Have a great day!
Best wishes x
Thank you for taking actual addicts into your company. There is no better way than one addict helping another. Our gratitude speaks when we share.
What a prestigious and great company this sounds like !!
This was a helluva interview. Im a recovering alcoholic (July 4th 2019) , its crazy how when you take away the drugs, the alcohol, the bets, our addictions are the same at the core. I can relate to every single thing Dan said. So proud of you dude, keep up the excellent work!!!
All the best to you, Mat!
My sponsor still gambled and went to prostitutes for the first 5 years of his sobriety. He described himself as a sober horse thief because he was siphoning money from his payroll withholding to do that. Then he decided he really wanted to get serious about sobriety. Yeah an addict can get addicted to ANYTHING.
alkhol is a social habit in europ
There’s a lot of similarities. It struck me when he talked about the normalization from adults to kids. I remember when I was younger, I had friends whose parents would let us party at their house (and buy us alcohol), and other friends whose parents would place bets for us every Sunday. We were 16 years old drinking and gambling regularly! That was just having fun to us and the adults were actively making it happen for us.
One day at a time
Mark, it would be a crime if u weren’t awarded a Nobel Prize for the work u are doing. This channel has helped tremendously with my depression. No matter how bad things get, with your channel I’m reminded that things could be worse.
💯 💯 💯 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
I've known you since undergrad and you remain the dearest of friends. Watching this and reading through the comments brings back a lot of memories and stirs a lot of emotion. There was a long period of time - years - when I didn't recognize you. When all of this came out it explained so much. Then, I witnessed first-hand the fallout and ALL of the collateral damage. I visited you in prison. I've been watching you do the work for years now. I've seen your contrition. I am profoundly proud of you and your recovery. You're always going to be an addict, and I'm always going to be your friend. One more thing, Dan; the U.S. population is approximately 330M, not 3B.
What a kind message to gave to Dan. He deserves messages like yours and I’m sure he appreciated it. This was one of my favorite interviews.
Yeah I found that $3B figure disconcerting also. The woman giving him $10,000 is such minutiae.
PAUL S., I'd be willing to guess that it wasn't minutiae to her and it sure wouldn't be to most of us.
@@mountainwoman4924 Agreed. Prudential made everyone whole which is cool
give us some of those memories here please
This is one of the best interviews for forming problem resolutions that I've seen. He says all the right things. The last few sentences are among the most important and yet least available to find. Specifically relationship and having a trusted friend by your side. Find that and you can unlock any addiction or mental prison. Thanks ++
@jamesgleason3715 you don't? He literally displayed those things in this video
As a kid, my Dad would never allow me to play carnival games at the local fair. He said, “They’re set up to beat you.” He was correct.
I’ve always regarded gambling in the same way, and stayed away from it.
Never realized (til watching the gambler interviews) what wise advice my Dad had given me.
I’m still mad I played one that you pick an envelope and win the price inside. So you pay 5 bucks and win something worth 1 buck 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ It occurred to me that the high value items I wanted didn’t have any envelope.
Dan has the gift of gab. Not in a bad way....just the guy-next-door that's sincere and speaks from the heart. The 9-11 story was particularly moving. I can remember the events of that 24 hours clear as day as well. Congratulations on your recovery and here's hoping to many more fruitful years without giving money back to the casinos!
I think the gab is a Jersey thing lol
@@girlinthesouth850 nope. It’s a southern thing too
That’s how he was able to scam people.
I agree. Sounds like he's rehearsing a script almost.
Being able to get people to put their confidence in you when they really should not , is a gift.
Wow! Thank you Dan for sharing. I was able to quit internet sweepstakes gambling twice in my life. Alone without Anyone knowing. I thought of dying so often. I’m thankful for people like you who will share openly and recognize the need for help. Thank you always mark 💕
Thank you.
As an addicted gambler in recovery up until this past week when I found myself going back for 'just this one more time,' this message was so important. I will always be a gambling addict and I made a poor choice this week; but I can forgive myself and go forward with renewed intention. One day at a time.
Hang in there Mandy and continued strength for the journey. Reach out anytime.
@@dantrolaro3043 thank you. I'm a South African and live in the most beautiful part of this country. The rest of my life is lovely. My family unit intact and a big part. Yet there is this ugly and dark side that rears its head. I could destroy everything. The dark side says 'do it, you don't deserve it anyway' and then the light of grace shines through.
Your message has been a blessing to me today.
Amen x
@@dantrolaro3043 Your story was harrowing but necessary. Your humility and hopefulness and gratitude truly inspiring. I commend you sir, you are a treasure of a person, and I really appreciate you sharing. Thank you and I wish you the very best!
Every day is a new start!!
Gambling is the worst thing that ever happen to me. Video poker to be exact. Lost over $2 million in the past 5 years and have over $270k in credit card debt and loans. Just yesterday I relapse and lost another $10k which was suppose to go toward my debt and now I'm screwed. How I wish I can turn back the hands of time 5 years ago and stop my self from ever going to the casino. Worst decision of my life and biggest regret of my life. Gamvling has destroyed me emotionally and financially.
That’s a very honest assessment of where you are and where you’ve been. Take it a day at a time. I wish you the best in your recovery!
@@nadiahassan6228 thank you. Still so angry at myself right now, I could of retired 5 years ago at the age of 34, now I'm 39 with no money and nothing but debt. It so sad how the casino ruined my life.
It would be so frustrating to lose that kind of cash. I agree, casinos and other gambling avenues shouldn’t be as accessible.
Same here
Its why they call it video crack...
Gambling addiction is one of the worst addictions to overcome. Thank you for this interview 🙏
Clearly Incredibly Intelligent and what an honest interview. As an Addict - Respect to you Brother. We are not bad people, even if we have done bad things. As long as we are trying daily to improve ourselves 🙏🏻
I live in NJ and have a gambling addiction - being so close to so many casinos really sucks lol. Your story really hit me because of how close you are to where I call home.
I banned myself from all online gambling and I’m working on getting some control for in person gambling. It’s definitely not easy, but I hope to be where you are one day soon. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your story.
I gamble online sometimes and other times at the casino. My wife and I always have spending limits when we go to the casino. The thing that keeps me from getting addicted is the fact that that the odds are stacked against the player. When he mentioned that he felt relief when he gambled his last dollar that really confused me. I always felt bad when my money was gone but I realized it is just entertainment. When I gamble online it is mostly poker and again I don't spend much on it because I hate the feeling of losing. I was always confused by the fact that Americans aren't allowed to put real money on some online poker sites. It just seems like common sense to have a spending limit.
I'm from NJ and moved back when Covid hit because my job ended and I could live for free. The worst decision of my life by far as it led to a gambling addiction due to NJ having online casinos. In a hole financially, stuck at home with nothing to do and the option to win "quick money" was a recipe for disaster.
I think a few years from now we are all going to be smacked in the face with just how many people developed addictions with either gambling, drinking or drugs in that year where we all were forced to stay home and had minimal entertainment.
@@ross_ulbright7779the lights n the uplifting ditsy music they play on Roobet hypnotizes me .. literally they have this shit down to a, T by enticing u with all the cool little lights n shit. Lost about 8k in one year bro.. god Bless you! You Got Thiss!
@@NothingToPointOut24im in NJ , its the same here, the legalizing of gambling has been a disaster. I def have a problem, been blowing paychecks etc, i always up and 1 outta 10 times ill take it home, brutal pointless addiction
@@mrpapagiorgio3620 The only thing that slowed me down was moving out of the state again. Right now I live in a state where I can do online sportsbook, but for whatever reason, I know my limits when it comes to that. I guess it has something to do with the fast paced nature of the casinos and the ability to win big in a short amount of time. One of my first times playing I turned $200 into 2k in less than a hour. Probably the worst thing that could've happened looking back cause I easily gave back 10 times that much. 2 years later I'm still paying it off. Good luck man.
Thank you for sharing your story. So articulate. I'm a NJ girl and my mom and dad snuck me into casinos underage. It never took hold thank goodness but watching this made me realize the very line they were walking on. I wish you the best!
This man is a born teacher. 👏
Yes he is!!
he knows TOO MUCH.
NO MENTIONS OF WIFE.
these extreamly tough life experiences seem to manifest themselves inside of us and emerge later on in a much different form.
Such an interesting story.
The fact that he admitted being 100% responsible for what happened, helped him recover.
That takes guts!
Massive massive guts 👏🏻
What else is there ? HOW honesty openness and willingness x
Bless this man for sharing his story so honestly, to be so vulnerable and open about his past problems is really brave, he’s very well spoken as well. Thanks to both of you for making this happen
This was a great interview. Happy to hear he changed his life around. That takes a lot of strength & courage. ♥️
Amazing amazing story. I’ve suffered with gambling as well and I can relate. It’s terrible. My breaking point was my dad dying. I still owe him $1600+ and I’ll never be able to repay him. It’s beyond upsetting. Thankful for this interview.
I suffered with gambling too , I steal money from my Dad, now he passed away and I never repay him , I own him my life , I feel so bad , my terrible life 😢
You can put that money to a good cause.
I knew a guy once who would lend money, a loan shark I suppose. I asked him what happens if someone owing money dies, what happens their debt? He said 'if you die, your debt dies with you' 🤷🏻♂️ I know this is the other way round in your situation but try not to concentrate on a debt you can't now settle. Just know your dad loved you and try to arrest your gambling, that's what your dad would want more than anything.
As a parent i can tell you id give my child a kidney. $1600 is nothing. Dont beat yourself up x
I’m here again rewatching this video, one year later. Since my last comment I’ve lost well over $80,000. It’s never been this bad
What a truly, inspiring guy
He's been through it all and is now helping others in their fight against this horrible addiction.
I hope I will have the strength and courage to beat it myself one day
Much respect 🙏❤
One of the best interviews I've listened to. One thing I've heard again and again is...don't start. Cuz' so many activities can work the pleasure centers in the brain, and before you know it we are craving that kick, that feeling. And then we're always hungry.
EXACTLY!!!
Dan, that was the best interview i have seen on this channel. Glad you are in a good place.
This was great to listen too. He was so well spoken
Powerful interview. And everything he said was so eloquent. Thank you for sharing your message
Thanks for sharing your story. I believe this is one of the worse addictions out there. Very easy to hide it and the financial harm you can put on your entire family... Very scary
This guy proves you are more than your addiction. It doesn't undo the damage that has been done, but healing and trying to be the the best version of yourself so you can help others to be their best version of themselves, that's what really matters in the end.
Thank you Mark for including success stories of recovery. I get deflated, listening to one addiction story after another, recognizing everyone is an individual, but the stories have so much in common. I end up thinking there is no hope. I know hearing a hopeful story like this re-inspired me to keep caring, keep looking for solutions, keep seeking that glimmer in others. Thank you, Dan, for your well-spoken interview. Thank you for doing the undoubtably hard work. Thank you for respecting yourself to know you are worth it. You are. Everyone really is.
This is crushing. Is crazy how an addiction can take you down a dark path.. I've been on and off dealing with the gambling , thankfully I haven't been compromised into a situation that I would regret for life.. a sidenote , I'm from the same part of jersey as this guy. Glad to here he is figuring things out
I love listening to people in recovery. Thank you!
I did the same thing with a check. I understand that I crossed the line feeling. It all went downhill from there. I feel you brother. Gambling addiction is a very horrible and evil thing.
Thank you to these men who are honest about their healing journeys. Very Good examples to young men who are trying to heal. We need more!
Thank you for sharing your story
Glad you show this video. I had gambled my life away playing poker for 16 years. I haven't gambled now since March 2019 almost 4 years. Any addiction is like choose your poison. I almost gave up in life . My hard prayers & not giving up on myself is what saved my life..
I thought poker was a game of skills. You must not be playing the right way if you're broke.
@@metsrus Skills don't really matter once it's an addiction. If it was skills casinos wouldn't be in business odds are against you in any gambling table
Thanks Dan for sharing your story. It’s truly an honor to have met you in person and to be working in helping others to deal with problem gambling. You are an inspiration to those that are trying to make a change and contribute to a noble cause. Take care of yourself and allow God to guide you to what you were truly called to do. You make an impact my friend. Thanks for all that you do.

That never went over my head.
comedian Norm Macdonald was such a hardcore gambler that he started to go crazy because he couldnt stop. in order to control it and have no choice but to stop, he took the only 20,000 dollars he had at the time and threw it in the ocean. rip, norm. he was a suffering soul just as much as any of us.
Norm Macdonald was just about the funniest man in the universe and I was saddened when I first heard about his gambling problem. At that time I didn’t realize how powerful a gambling addiction could be until I actually met a couple of people who had that problem. I then realized how similar it is to drug/alcohol-related addictions. I hope Dan’s video helps members of Mark’s audience who are going through this phase.
Good morning SWU fam'. Greetings from Northern California. Its just after 3:00 a.m. & were at the beginning of a heat wave. Hope youre all doin' well. I send Good Vibes & Mad Love Your Way ✌😎☀
Good morning Roc, have a great Friday!
Hello from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Good Morning from Nashville Tennessee USA 🇺🇸 ♥
Good Morning from Houston.
Hey from Branson, Missouri. Thunderstorms here.
My brother in law and sister are gamblers. They had over a million dollars beautiful home and lost everything.
My Mom always said she wasn't in putting any substances in her body so she didnt have an addiction! Her gambling addiction was worse than a drug addiction, in my eyes, she had no limits and lost everything
Brilliant insights. Crystal clear communicator. Such a valuable TH-cam channel.
This has been my favorite video so far! This man is very insightful and it helps me understand better my own addictions and dark thoughts. Thank you.
I learned a lot about drug and alcohol addiction in my clinical internship and met some very introspective people (clients), but i never really got a chance to learn about gambling addiction from someone who had first-hand experience. I appreciate very much Dan’s story and really glad he found his new career in which i am sure he is amazing at! Thank you, Dan!
Good morning people of SWU! Southern Oregon at 3:15 a.m. & always stoked to see a new video!
This man is exceptionally brave. Thank you for sharing.
He knows about addiction, thats for sure. Everything he said about it is absolutely the truth. Stay grateful everyone.
Good interview.
I've never heard a story like this.
Now he's helping others especially younger people that could be having problems with gambling.
Big heart.
Really appreciate these interviews. It gives me a perspective on my own life.
Same ! Every. Single. Time. !!!!!
This man has an amazing gift of hiding what's under the surface. The coworker that seems okay but deep down there's a lot going on
This guy needs to write a screenplay. This story needs to reach more people. ❤
This guy comes off super self aware & really thoughtful. I hope he gets out of life what he is seeking
This is what people from Philly/South Jersey just are
@@davidhatch40 Thanks for telling the guy from Cherry Hill🤣
This guy was very well spoken . Great interview 🙏 I’ve had a gambling addiction for 20 years . Thankful I have a good business .
Wow! I love this guy, so much honesty, clarity and detail.
16:10 This part gave me chills. That moment when you know that all your hidden worries are now about to come to full blossom.
Out of every video I've seen here, this was absolutely my favorite!. I'm a recovered alcoholic who facilitates a group of women in a recovery center. Most struggle with fentanyl and G. I showed them this and everyone in the room could relate to his description of addiction. He shares hope of recovery.
This guy is a wonderful person with an issue that most have - give it gambling, work, relationships, alcohol, drugs, unwanted isolation, and narcissistic tendencies! Thank you sir for sharing your weakness, and strength in getting past it comes in time and faith! As for those he screwed financially, he will be paying for that until the end!
He is a great communicator. He is ready to give knowledge for free learned through pain.
He’s a shyster
@@wnm8888 exactly
This guy is very well spoken and became wise from his mistakes. Greatest respects to him for that. No many people turn their lives around like that. Glad he beat his addiction. The speaks volumes on his true Character.
Dan's interview refreshes my hope for humanity! Taking full responsibility for ones actions completely is rare in todays society!
This one had me with goosebumps the whole time.. one of the best interviews so far 🔥🔥
Thank you Dan for giving us this insight. You're an incredible human and I love you man.
Excellent interview! I love the quality and the content. I love how he knows exactly how his gambling addiction began and how he owned it and did not blame anyone but himself. Thank you Dan for sharing your story! Keep on sharing to save people like me.
Thank you, Joyce
When he said you get a relief when you lose all your money he's right. I would get anxiety when I have funds in my gambling account and wouldn't stop until I lost it all. The psychological damage is real also.
I feel like he is speaking directly to me. I felt all of that!
Dan thank you for your honesty. I really wish you all the best in your life. Thanks for not playing the blame game you take full responsibility for your actions, some people are always looking for an excuse . 👍
Dan your story is very interesting and compelling. I’m from Queens, I was downtown on 9/11 also and it affected me more than even my combat experience in the Marines in Desert Storm. Gambling is a very tough addiction, I saw it in several of my friends. We bet on anything in my old neighborhood lol.
I’m glad you’ve recovered. All the best brother
Thank you brother and thank you for your service.
@@rtvrn_to_monke what a fuckn jerk off you are. We’re you there ? Did you live and train in the desert for 3 months ? We’re you under fire ? Did you see dead bodies ? Did you breathe in all the shit from the oil well fires. Did you see a friend step on an anti personnel mine and lose his leg and an arm ? Did you see bodies fried in burning tanks ? Did you feel a B52 strike from 500 yards away and then see 50 men buried in a sand berm ? We’re you sick for a year upon returning with terrible skin rashes and blood issues from all the carcinogenic crap in the air ?
Honestly, what an idiotic comment. You fuckn clown. Eat shit.
I was a NJ gambling father child too. He convinced me that i had a gift for the numbers, and the Meadowlands and the horses were a big high for the both of us, as was the Black Jack at Atlantic City. He gambled away his entire fortune, and the end of his life was very sad indeed. My dad was a very sensitive and emotionally vulnerable person, who was raised by a very critical mother. He made a sizeable fortune, which i believe he gambled away because he always felt he needed to have more with which to impress his mom.
We have so many gamblers here in Jersey. Its wild hard to believe sometimes. I realized when I was 28 I had a massive gambling problem.
Names also Dan and been a compulsive gambler a long time. It’s a difficult one, as gambling tickles a unique part of the brain. Congrats on not only turning it around but working to help others
Really a great story I loved it I'm glad he's better and doing well Mark thanks for all your work thanks for everything you do I am proud of you.
I`ve seen about 100 of these videos. This one was the most alarming and awakening to me. I watched this and then told a close friend I`m not going to the casino with him anymore so to avoid this slippery slope. TY
Great insight from this man, and positive changes he has contributed.Thank you
I agree, we need to get stories like this about gambling into the schools for young kids to learn early.
wont help. the people who need this quit school
This articulate, handsome man is going to be a life success...continue on young man...let the past remain in the past. You have done what you could to make things right. If you haven't, your work is not finished. God bless you.
Great speaker! Very interesting video! He is a lovely man. I am Canadian. A member of my family is an addictive gambler. His wife is my sister. She has cut me out of her life. Last time I saw her was when I was in the hospital with breast cancer. That was in 2001. I know part of why she ignores me is bc she is ashamed and embarrassed. I don’t blame her at all for feeling that way. We do live 6 hrs. Apart, but still. Her husband is Greek and he saw his parents lose their home among many other things. My brother-in-law has below average intelligence as does my sister. Not terribly bad. but lower IQ’s. They both, of course went to normal schools, etc. They have borrowed money from everyone in my family. When I found out that it was bc of a gambling addiction I cut the money off. Very shortly after she broke off all contact. One of the worse things of all was SHE had to call and ask. He is a low life coward. They life in Niagara Falls and my sister works at the casino there. They have 3 kids, one of which is wheelchair bound. They have lost everything and I believe now that they have lost their house too. They have claimed bankruptcy at least once. My sister is very weak minded. She has been controlled by her husband her whole time with him. I don’t know how she can keep staying with him. I don’t know how she can handle this situation and for so long. I mean, I guess it is hard having a handicapped daughter who needs to be lifted up for certain things. She is 39 years. Anyway, life goes on. I am very proud of you! Thanks for helping others who are struggling with this.

@@jacksonpeterson6899 not interested
Man, he's such a good story teller. Could listen to him for hours.
Definitely one of your best interviews ever, it helps of course that he hasn't been saddled with the psychological, mental faculty, and physical issues associated with drugs or alcohol, and apparently Street living should included in that, nor does he seem to have been seriously impacted by a lot of the mental health imalances and related mental health medication cocktail issues ETC that you see also with a lot of the people in the population that you quite often are dealing with. So of course he was kind of ahead of the curve when it comes to a lucid interviewee, but nonetheless it was a nice change of pace as well to get the occasional interviewee who is so clear and so focused and has a lot of good things to say. That's not to say there isn't tons of value in all the different types of people that you interview, but a guy like Dan is definitely a slight change of pace and although gambling addictions not necessarily something that I have a huge interest in, I found his story very compelling because of Dan himself.
Great video and honesty from this guy, the majority of people don't understand the affects of gambling, it is a debilaitating problem that can't always be seen by friends/family. Thank you Dan for your honesty, it helps other people acknowlede their own issues and find help for themselves
Definitely not his first time to tell this story.
@@softjones3128 He's a con
@@namenamelastlast8444 Do you have proof or are you just talking negatively about somebody?
yeah it felt a little rehearsed compared to others
I felt the same way. Apparently he works for some sort of gambling addiction prevention company or something, so yeah I'm sure he's just told the story about a 100 times and has it rehearsed.
@@Dave-oz9qh The gentlemen said he went to prison, so yes, he's a con.
Thank you Dan, I must admit I have never understood gambling but your childhood and trauma 9/11 I can understand what you must have been feeling. Gambling sounds so hard and always feeling on edge.
This sounds like a great AA story that’s been perfected over the years
What a amazing man.. good luck with the rest of your journey
This is someone who has really done the work. He is so educated about himself, his mind, his body. If he's not a professional speaker he should be.
That's the gig, talking to college students.
It's all a front
Brother, I’m done gambling. Thank you for sharing your story. I feel like you helped. I’ll need to revisit this video as I get back up. 💪🙌🙏
This, folks, is a perfect example of a reformed human being. He takes responsibility and works to help others in not making the same mistakes that he has made.
ITS NEVER TO LATE TO START YOUR LIFE AGAIN. Debt can be repaid, possessions can be bought again. If your healthy and your family is healthy, that's what matters.
Good morning from Phoenix Arizona

Solid dude! I just got into Poker this last few weeks and maybe I needed this. Lol
He got goose bumps when he started talking about 9/11.

That was deep Thank you sharing Dan
Thanks for sharing your story Dan
9/11 was a beautiful morning. It was so crazy. I was working in a high rise near Philadelphia International Airport. OMG!!!! The horror. I stayed in bed the day after under the covers.
Fargo North Dakota here 5:16 am !!!
Same time here in Houston Texas.
Dan Trolaro you sure trolled your customers financially. But you are very well spoken and gave me a lot to think about. This is the first soft white interview I actually watched until completion and I am grateful for people like you who want to help others you are the type society needs more of.
Americans n chemicals.
“when i’m not gambling, i think about the next time i will be” it’s crippling. in the midst of trying to learn to control my habit. it has slowly took over my life. when i don’t bet i’m angry at the world. it’s so crippling. that competitive drive. i hate to lose.
