[Closed] .

Good morning, 

We are trying to encourage people to quit gambling on here not promoting or finding loop holes into gambling again in other countries. 

People are on here because they have taken a massive step in opening up to their problem gambling & trying to give it there all in quitting.

I hope you find your answers else where. 

Take care 

Good work on not gambling for 6 months. Its a shame that you're planning on throwing that away but it's obviously your choice. Pretty sure Vegas would be up there with the worst choice of holiday destination for a compulsive gambler but each to his own. I'll say this, when I think about the trauma gambling has caused me and my family and the heartbreaking trauma inducing stories you read on this site, I really hope this trip to Nevada doesn't take an emotional toll on your mental health and wellbeing. It's an insidious disease. Protect yourself mate

Well done on the gamble free time. I must say I'm very upset that you would think it's ok to ask that question here and I hope that you haven't triggered anyone. I'm nearly a year gamble free and this has not triggered me it's made me angry, angry for those on here who are raw and struggling please do not ask anything like this again. I wish you all the best and that you deal with the compulsive gambling issues that you are obviously yourself still suffering with. Ask us for support to not gamble and we will help

@frankie77 You must have worded your post wrong. Who else would come on a gambling help website looking for ways to gamble? 
I suggest re-reading your original post from last summer when you had had enough of gambling.

Chris.

Why would you come on here and post this? Surly you could contact Sense or whoever they are directly? It has no thought of others on here and if thats your mindset then it wont be long before the grip of addiction takes over your life.

Sorry but are you for real people are on here with real gambling problems and I am sorry if you mean well and well done for your six mths but you can’t just stop and start of you are going to Las Vegas to gamble is not good start I have look at your past post and you were in bits we can all have slip ups but I can’t think anyone would book a gambling holiday and ask for help to get round the loop hole please think hard because you know it could wreck you life
