Hi everyone. Got myself in a dead end.

Been struggling with gambling for about 10 years now, on and off, and decided I need to take action.

- 5 years ago I’ve enrolled into GameStop, refreshed it it this year.

-2 years ago I’ve enrolled into Sense, can’t go in any land based casino.

- 3 years ago I’ve enrolled into an IVA so I can get rid of all the debt accrued ( aprox 30k)

I thought I was in the clear until I got introduced by ads to crypto casinos.. the compulsion got me straight into that and started losing all my little disposable income for the past 6 months.

I have been trying in that meantime to block myself from that aswell.

Tried using Gamban but still got access to the website.

Anyone found a solution to block themselves from accessing such sites?

Thanks!

Hi Meerkat

I'm not sure if there any direct blocks for crypto but there maybe as along with the trading websites they are gambling. Have you reported the site to gamban ? You can do it easily through the app and if they agree it's blocked very quickly. 

In terms of another barrier, do you have anyone you can be accountable for to check your bank account each day ?
