This thread is now closed!

But if you're missing the Chatroom whilst it's down, here are some alternatives:

ALTERNATIVE CHATROOMS ON THE WEB:

  • Gamblers Anonymous (GA) has a chatroom - click here
  • Gamblingtherapy.org has regular chatrooms too - click here
And why not try the 2018 Challenge - lots of us are going all-out to be gambling free for 2018. Why not join in (Challenge run by Neil C.)

There’s also a live chat at gamtalk think that one usually runs around the clock. Hopefully it will be of help whilst this one is down

Thanks Gem1209, the chat at Gamtalk is open 24/7 as you say.

Gamblers Anonymous also have a chat room - it's here. It's normally moderated by a volunteer.

I am a Web Developer in the real world. I find it difficult to believe that Gamcare Developers have found a fault that they know cannot be fixed within a couple of weeks. Very strange.

I am likewise a systems developer, Degen. I wonder if the Chatroom software is still supported by the existing supplier, or subscribed to by Gamcare; maybe they are looking for a new supplier. I suspect that Gamcare IT provision is outsourced.

I agree. Gamtalk looks garbage. Meh. We need another reccommendation.

Although Gamcare Chat is looking very old and out of date I would be a bit wary of a new supplier.

Thanks SJB, degen - Gamtalk removed.

And I agree Degen, Gamcare Chat works and is it for purpose, although I've never been able to access it on an iMac; only Windows and iPhones. I have a hunch, though, they'll be a new version.

Gem - my apologies to you; I was grateful for the suggestion 🙂 nothing personal, I promise 🙂

And you are right, it might well suit some people. I've put it back. I'm sorry if I peed you off there.
