Hi everyone. This site won't let me update my previous thread for some reason but you can read that I asked for advice after being promised that the facility for me to cancel withdrawels had been removed and it wasn't. I was able to cancel a withdrawel for 200 pound and play it back and I argued that I should not be allowed to do this. Anyway I escalated my complaint and after lots of emails back and forward I received an offer tonight of not just the 200 pound I requested but 529 pound!! My advice is if you have told the site you have problems gambling and they let you down then fight them. I have self excluded completely now from every site I can think of and so hopefully my "blip" will never happen again , but I can sleep happy tonight knowing that I WON after taking on the big boys and rightly so. Keep fighting everyone and never give up giving up life is so much better gamble free X
Have u gambled that money you got back ?
Its a dangerous game your playing saying you won but if it works maybe you have. Only time will tell. If your on day 1000 saying your still gamble free, remind me and I'll salute you with a metaphorical glass of orange squash.
this thread triggers me
Zlime I hope this thread doesn't cause anyone to trigger. It was intended to show that as gamblers that admit we have a problem we should be treat properly and given the help we ask for. In answer to the other comments, no I didn't gamble the money back and nor have I gambled since. I put the money towards a half term break with my kids and boy did it feel good!. I am still gamble free and no longer feel the compulsion to gamble. I spend my money on every day things and am clearing the debts I accumulated. This also feels good!. I'm by no means rich but I still have money in my account the day before I get paid. I no longer spend my nights worrying about how I will survive and what excuses I can make. In essence I have my life back. I think there's a relapse in all of us but I will never allow myself to be a compulsive gambler again. I know now that there IS a better life and it's worth it. I should also add that I'm nearly four months free of a 40 a day smoking habit too so I didn't do things by halves. If I can do this anyone can and its time everyone took back control of their mind and actions xx
