So I began an occasional gambler with sports bets, bingo and lottery. I work nights so I'm often bored at work with nothing to fill my time. About 6 months ago I started using the free spins and 5 pound bonus given by w**********l daily. Then I thought I'd join lots of other sites to see what offers and freebies they had, this started to consume my time everyday. I had a freebie for.monopoly live casino and enjoyed playing this as it was like a game and I had a few nice big wins. I escalated my time playing this and became obsessed. Chasing losses, I thought I could read the game and.timings of the payouts.
Last week I won XX off a £1.10 bet... today I have none of left and I spent my wages for living within hours of getting them. Time to stop. So I made the call, spoke to my loved ones and the recovery starts here.
Gamcare have been amazing and I now feel relieved.

It takes courage and understanding to realise and accept that we are compulsive gamblers but that is the sad reality of our situation.
