Well done to anyone who can go 24 hours with gambling!
I've been hooked on online casinos for two years and I'm £50,000 in debt. I've spent time in hospital, I've installed blocking software but nothing works. I've also won more than I've lost but that doesn't make me stop. Just self excluded from one of favourite casinos for 5 years. I know people have been gambling for years I'm probably sounding like a 'rookie'.
