Hi all I have been in recovery a few months now and have good days and bad days and been able to give people advice and learned new ways to help my self but the thing I would like to get out there is
I have heard a few people with this idea and all so my self is there a way we could start a complaint to betting shops and online casinos that you need a id card or some sort of pin number or account to gamble and once you ban your self you are not able to play in betting shops or online for a certain amount of months or years as I my self joined mosses gave them photos told the staff but was still able to gamble it may be far fetched but should be something available to the addicted players what's your thoughts on this tha ms Henry
Hi
In my time invested in to the recovery program I found that I no longer want or need to escape to self destructive habits.
I like many people did not understand the addictions and obsessions were a form of escape in my fears.
The very last thing I want to do is gamble.
When I gambled I made things in my life more painful and very unhealthy.

You obviously need an acct and password to even access any online games
Once you self exclude online most of them stop you from even accessing the account so what you're referring too is all already there
If your going to find a way around that...
Same for bookies shops the staff are usually pretty good at booting banned/ self excluded punters out
Yes in understand but I have spoke to many people who have self excluded from online and betting shops but what I was trying to get at was something with your photo on you need to gamble mostly in betting shops so you can not give a different name or by passing the bans as I my self joined Moses gave them up to date photos and still was able to gamble in my local betting shops yes the person addicted has to help them self but some times in a bad moment and a big mistake we go to gamble so was only saying a photo I'd card in which you need to gamble may go a lot of people
@4bi3x7t1je I too was able to gamble in shops whilst self excluded. Got asked to leave once from one shop. It’s my own stupid fault though. The industry is a disgrace but I’m equally as bad.
