I’m currently struggling I spent over 3k in a matter of minutes on online competitions and raffles and I’m really struggling to stop there is no support in place to block these transactions and I keep telling myself I won’t do it again and I go and do it again I’ve blown half the money I’ve been saving for a car now I don’t know what to do. I’m terrified I’m going to blow the other half I really need help I can’t seem to stop.
Hello kptty31,
Well done for joining the forum, and for sharing some of your story.
Some of our forum members have tried to protect their savings by allowing a family member to hold their money, or by putting their savings in an account that doesn't offer instant access.
You might like to call us on our freephone 0808 8020 133 to discuss this and other approaches. We can also help you access additional support, if you like.
Take care,
Adam.
I’ve never heard of that type of gambling before
