I have a bad online casino addiction, I am up overall on them and have won lots in the last days about but have blown £350 of that today 🙁 I really want to stop I told my girlfriend that I was going to stop last week after losing another £350 but I only had a 24 hour break and went back and won it all and went on a big winning streak which was great I am just worried I am going to give it all back and I really don’t want to. I am a 20 year old who knows he has a problem as I can’t deal with losing. So I all-ways try get even or even worse. I know gambling not for me but I need to learn how to stop. I used to be addicted to horses while I was working in a bookmakers but left to go traveling with my girlfriend and didn’t think about gambling and when I came back and went back to the book makers I quickly got back onto slots and did £150 in a night so I went on gamstop straight away. But with these online crypto casinos you can’t ban your self with out deleting all crypto software which I can’t do as I use crypto.
sorry for the rant guys, but really need to stop before it’s to late. But I am truly addicted
Hello Theboy2001,
Welcome to the forum and thank you for being so open about your experiences. It takes courage to reach out.
You’re not alone in this. What you’ve described – finding it hard to accept losses and feeling like you can’t stop – are things others also experience.
I can hear you really want to feel in control again and it’s a great start putting GAMSTOP in place. It also sounds like last time, being totally away from bookmakers helped. Perhaps you could think about other activities you could put in place at the times you’re more likely to be gambling.
Some blocking software may be able to block the use of crypto - it might be worth reaching out to the customer service support at the various apps we list on our website.
If you’d like to chat to us about all this and find out about the support available to you, I would encourage you to get in touch with our Helpline which is available 24/7 on 0808 8020 133 (or you can use the live chat service).
I hope you can keep posting on here for support.
All the best,
Forum Admin
