So I just went on a casino I've won a few hundred quid on before in the past but then self excluded myself from. Opened an account again. Went to put card details in...........but I closed the account down. Feeling good but also bad I did it in the first place. Still day 2 for me here.....
Hi LH,
Thank you for sharing this. It is encouraging to read. We regularly suggest to people who contact us to self-exclude and often they would respond, saying "but this will not make me stop. I will find another way or try and go in anyway."
I think your experience yesterday is an excellent example of what makes self-exclusion so useful. It buys you thinking time. While you had to go through the effort to find a way to open another account, you had second thoughts. And instead of acting on your impulse to gamble, you acted on the second thoughts you had.
Congratulations on your day 2. It will get easier the further you go. Well done to you!
Kind wishes
Gabriele
Thankyou! I made it to day 3. Felt brilliant waking up knowing I didn't waste a ton of money last night. No urge to gamble today so far which is good.
