Not going to post and complain saying I’m done with gambling when I’ve no blocks in place and just because I’ve lost again, as I’ve been there done that over the years and now old enough and wise enough to know that without the blocks and knowing you need them in place your wasting your time and will be back to your gambling vice sooner or later.
However when I finally realised this I put gamblock in place and Havnt gambled online since, I think for maybe 2 years. Never even tried to bypass it or set up a fake account. Always still access to casinos, won and lost thousands over the past couple of years, have since implemented senses ban program so am now banned from all casinos for 2 years, another good step. The only other issue is as I like football betting usually highish stakes I can do this in any bookies, I travel a bit with work so i have access to hundreds, realised the issue and contacted to join the Moses bookies self exclusion thing, issue is they can’t blanket ban you from all bookies, no idea why! Should be able to send out my details and a photo across the board, if this was the case I wouldn’t risk going in if there was a chance Ide be embarrassed and stopped, or I would be denied winnings (casino said if I sneak in anywhere and win any winnings are donated to charity) more than likley meaning the staff Xmas do kitty, you have to select which bookies and give address which you want to self exclude from, so frustrating. I’ve done 13 shops so far, but always pass others and can call in, I want to fully stop all access to gambling but don’t know any other way, anyone had any other experiences or tips to share? I feel like now it is going to take is the blocks and the rest is upto me, but it gets to the weekend footballs on and it’s a case of trying another hundred. Then chase and it’s a few hundred gone again, it’s too hard earned to just s***k it in these horrible places.
keen to know anyone else’s thoughts or experiences or any tips greatly welcomed
