Frustrating junk mail

Hey Now I have a problem with Outlook: I have set so many rules to get rid of certain email sites, and nothing seems to work. The sites are those irritating gambling ones, especially those that include the word Casino in them, and despite making rules using the word casino in the sender's address, subject matter etc etc as a prompt for Outlook to delete them as they come in, they still pour in, and I am emptying the Junk mail perhaps twice or three times a day.
So can anyone let me know if they have the same problem or know how to fix this maddening issue with those gambling sites, please??
*Just for info I am running 25H2 and I am wondering if this has anything to do with this issue, as I am also getting a lot of security updates from Microsoft - something that just did not happen on my older Vivobook running 24H2.

You can try marking the email you don't want as a junk mail and block them but don't delete them for few days, so Outlook learns to block them.

Yes. I use Outlook 2021. I went without junk mail in my @microsoft account for many years since I had a throwaway account I used everywhere but with family and friends.
I was part of a hospital breach a couple of years ago and they got my email address. Now, I can't keep the junk out now. I've had the best results by blocking domains rather than by sender.

I've tried many other emails, Google included, and I always return to Outlook. Another MS product I really like that MS is doing all in their power to destroy is MS Word. Somewhere, some place there is a setting to fix your mail problem. Now I don't know if that feature comes with Outlook's free version or with Office but you can re-direct all emails you don't like to go to your recycle bin. Then simply empty your recycle bin after you log in. This works well for me. For really stubborn emails just mark them as "fishing" scams. I noticed that even if they're not really fishing scams they tend to disappear pretty fast after that.

I run both 24H2 and 25H2 on two separate PCs. Check your settings in Windows Update. You have to manually set them to "always ask". 25H2 won't do this if you set it to ask first.
