How comes when you self exclude but when you relapse and your desperate to get on the machine you can set up a whole new account (same name, same address, details) just different bank account and they will let you play £1000sss they obviously know it's you as jack pot joy always check and tell you, you can only have one account but bg o, ga la casino, 8 8 8they dont care. They don't check at all. Though they must know, when I'm trying to exclude they pop up EVERYWHERE advertisements on my Face book, insta, email, my phone, my post. It's like being addicted to coke and they're just posting it to you through the mailbox & calling you like here is 0.5g (just to get you hooked again) so then you end up buying 10g here and there, because the void gets harder to fill. This wouldn't be allowed though so why do the laws & governments allow us to be targeted? I have free money from online casinos I've never even played at. I'm being stalked 24/7 by casinos just to use my physiological addiction to fill their pockets. Ive spent £2000 tonight and just wait tomorrow il hear from Marlene from bg o vip team or Steve from ga la casino with another FREE £50 in my account then il spend that, plus another £2000, then they will call again, then they will pass it on to other casinos then they will post to me
Funny thing is if online slots were not here I think most of the female gamblers would've never gambled. I certainly have never been to a betting shop and have no idea about odds bets, but online it feels like Monopoly money and no one sees you, no one to answer to, it can just be our little secret, it's like being in an abusive relationship.
Hi agent08 this was all over the news yesterday, on bbc2 Jeremy vine. You can probably listen on I player. Get the name of the guy from the gambling commission from the BBC. Ask him why self exclusion doesn't work? You also need to download blocking software. You have to want to stop. It comes from you, no one else. I agree they don't want you to stop, they want your money, it's a business. When you go on social media block them, there's a little arrow on the right of every post, it's a drop down list, you can block, report. This is up to you to do these things. Just for today. Good luck!
Change your age to under 19 and location to Dubai on Facebook then hide the details so you friends done so them and the adverts will stop
Haha if I actually did, they would probably hunt me down in Dubai lol got £400 off of Marlene from bro this morning lol

It's not a joke It actually works , give it a try if your serious about giving up as any blocks will keep you safe to a point but then you also have to not want to get around them , if you just want to stop losing then this probably isn't the place ? .

I have posted a reply to your post in the Newcomers forum. Hope you manage to get time to read it. Hope you also take Alan's and merrygoround's advice - they know what they are talking about. It takes a little bit of hard work and self discipline to beat this but if you can at least try it will be worth it in the end. Good luck.

Sorry what's the name of the program
It was Jeremy vine, radio 2 yesterday, 4th September 12-2.
Thankyou
I think it works if you self exclude all the sites and shops u can. By the end of the year they will have a number to ring to self exclude all online company's by just ringing one number good luck
Thanks guys! I'm not in debt but I just never have any money as I gamble it all away!
