Hi everyone!Â
literally can’t believe I didn’t sign up to Gamban years ago! My problem is gambling online, which ultimately 80% of the time ends in complete disaster!Â
Obviously always worse when I’m drunk to the point of completely wiping out my bank account and some more! I signed up to Gamban on Saturday after waking up to a 10k loss.Â
Got paid yesterday and went out for a few beers and had serious urges but I knew that I physically haven’t got access to online casinos so that was the end of that! Woke up this morning  feeling a little bit hungover but without any extra debt!Â
cannot recommend enough to people like me who have a problem with online gambling!Â
5 days gamble free, I know I’m out of the woods yet but I really do feel that this is going to be a life saver!Â
Love this site it has helped me massively over the last 5 days knowing that I’m not alone!Â
Cheers everyone! Take care!

Hi Dan
Thats great news that you’ve put gamban in place. I too use to play online and signed up to Gamstop which is the exclusion for all online casinos in the UK. Have you thought about joining that as it would be a second layer of protection. It means even if you wanted to access an account you can’t as it deactivates all existing accounts and stops you being able to open any during the period you are signed up for which can be up to 5 years. That quashed my online gambling and it’s great.Â
Have a good day gf.Â

Hi Lonely.
thanks for your reply! Sorry I was mistaken it is Gamstop that I signed up to and am so impressed with it! First time since I can remember that I don’t feel like my money is at risk!Â
I read through your thread from the other day! How are you doing?Â
Dan.
Hi Dan
oh okay, then yes Gamstop is a life changer and will save a lot of people from losing lots of money and heartache.Â
Im on day 6 gf today and feel 100 times better then I did 6 days ago. I have put loads of blocks in place on top of Gamstop so it will be very difficult for me to follow through on any urge.Â
I am hoping that was my last rock bottom.Â
How are you feeling today?
Lonely
well I wish you all the best Lonely.Â
Yeah I’m feeling ok still struggling with accepting my most recent huge loss as I’ve had to cancel a holiday I had booked which hurts! But I’m just trying to look forward and not dwell on what has already been done!Â
Thanks again and take care!Â
