Hi all 

 

I’m new here, I came across this website googling the online casino laws and how I managed to spend upwards of £50,000 without any kind of checks or making sure I can afford this. 
Finally after losing at least £50k within the space of less than a week I’ve received an email asking for the usual ‘affordability checks’.

Slightly too late, I am 32 year old problem gambler

Hi there.  I do not know the legal stance regarding the late reply from the casino but this hits hard as a realisation of what we are all dealing with whether it is investment gambling or high risk trading the common themes are warning paragraphs at the final deal button  

Lets not give anymore of our hard earned money to the tap of a button pool together and do helpful and useful work in our society move out of yourself and you will be amazed at your future life

I wouldn't usually advise this but given the size of the money lost personally I would be contacting the gambling operator and saying they haven't complied with customer welfare , know your customer regulations nor anti money laundering regs 

 

I would threaten to go to gambling commission and potentially the media

 

I have a strong suspicion you might just get some sort of compensation

Wow, I really um. Nothing I could say would makes you feel worse, but moving forwards you may just end up having to swallow that money. I hope you get some help. Everyone at gamcare are totally awesome. The chat rooms offer a great support. Also find a local ga. Don't beat yourself up too much. It's just money. You have your future and your health.

 

Best wishes
