Hello Panayiotis,Â
Welcome to the Forum. Well done for reaching out here for support, there are many members who will be able to offer you great support.Â
It sounds like you are wanting to abstain from online gambling, there are some good tools you can use that will make this easier for you.Â
GamStop - is a self exclusion scheme which will exclude your from any U.K gambling sites.Â
You could also look in to blocking software. You could download this on to the device you gamble on and would block access to gambling content. I have listed a few you could look at below but this list is not exhaustive. I would suggest taking a look around at the options for blocking software and choose on that you feel suits you best.Â
You don't mention if you have or not but you might find it useful to contact our advisers. They are available 24/7 to hear about your situation and offer support and advice. They can also give you options for one to one support. You can call them on 0808 8020 133 or you could use our Livechat. Which ever is best for you.Â
Keep posting on the forum,Â
Take care,Â
