I have been gamble free for 36 days thanks to gamstop! ! it has been my saving grace!
I started gambling in 2013 and over a couple of years accumulated around ВЈ10000 debt due to online slots. My partner found out a couple of years ago and we worked through it, and I had counselling but told me if it happened again we are over. I was gamble free for a year and then I needed to itch this scratch again after a difficult time. I started with ВЈ20 but then accumulated to £2000 over an 8 month period not as bad as before but still bad enough.. Spent every spare penny of my wages and maxed my overdraft. I kept self excluding but would soon open another account somewhere else! I found out about gamstop and it is the best thing ever, I don't even try to open accounts as I know it's not possible! Will take a little while to pay my debt back but now 36 days gamble free and feel happier than I have done in months! If you want to stop get gamstop on straight away! And I even have money left in my wallet days after payday which I never used too!
I fully agree i used to to the same but now there is no point in looking. I wish the bookies would now somethink similar cause there multi self exclusion is easy to breakthrough
couldnt agree more, total game changer for me, im day 46 today GF and this would never have happened without GAMSTOP,
especially in the first couple of weeks when you are most likely to relapse, i have fell at this hurdle so many times before. Its brilliant and i cannot recommend it enough.
Yep, GAMSTOP is the saviour us online CGs needed.
The sleazy gambling companies knew it was coming and were opening new sites daily to maximise whilst they could. They knew a large chunk of their revenue stream came from addicts opening a new account, gambling, stopping, self excluding, and repeat...
I had an email the other day from one to tell me to withdraw my balance (60p I think it was) as they were closing down. Hopefully one of many as GAMSTOP starts to bite.
