Hi there been a member for a while but today I've once again just blown £600 and £200 yesterday and another £200 the day before online slots and at bingo? For years I've been spending a lot on these sites I lose lots and win some back a few times I've won £2500 and then about a month ago I won £5000 also do the lottery every week about £40! I've won the hotpicks games a few times but always spend the same trying again! I used the £5000 to pay my car loan off and have literally gambled the rest! So annoying as I'm self excluded from over 40 sites online but somehow always find a new one! Have previously been overdrawn and used credit to gamble. Luckily I am not in debt after today. Only about £200 in my bank now though! Always on the limit and never have any spare. Will never buy things that are expensive but always gamble double! Partner has found out a few times and he's always fuming as can't quite understand why I can't stop! I want to stop but I want to win lots for a better life 🙁
If you want to stop there's plenty of effective advice on the forum starting with telling your partner you have a problem and giving him control of your finances. If you just want to stop losing it's not going to happen as you've proved over and over.
You're in the extremely fortunate position of not having any debt. If you want to stay that way take action now.
Affected by gambling?
