I am a recovering online slot addict and i have self excluded from many sites, I have done block software and unfortunately recently got into mobile/android gaming which there does not seem to be a block for...
Why can there not be a centralised self exclusion procedure? That tells all gambling licensees you are self excluded before you have even signed up? I am not savvy with these things, but is it something I could campaign for? or is it just not possible, due to all the different countries these places operate from?
Ive had the same issue as soon as I block all from laptop. I go and use phone.
Thanks for the links needed those.xx
doesn't stop you getting another phone or borrowing another computer which i've done in the past but anything that helps you stop
well done

There is no centralised system to self exclude from online casinos unfortunatly. But for some blocking software can really help. The other way to approach this is the long route. Self excluding yourself 1 casino at a time. I have done this with loads of casinos. All of them should offer that facility. It can be time consuming but it is theraputic in some ways. And gives a sense of your actually doing something concrete to work in overcoming your addiction!
