Hope your on the up now and life doesn’t feel as grim. As much as the casinos and bookies like to promote responsible gambling it’s not true – you are the exact discerning customer they want gambling with them. Someone reckless who never knows when to stop it’s called recurring revenue. Casinos do not care about you or your story.

Thanks for sharing mate, all that sounds very familiar. In my darkest moments, I thought about ending it all, but literally didn’t have the balls to do it.

I attended GA for 3 years and whilst it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, it genuinely helped me understand the addiction. I’ve gambled since, but never quite as recklessly before and have never been in the shit with money because of what I learned. I too have now signed up to Gamstop and it feels like a weight off the shoulders

Sincere best wishes for the future, stay strong and take it a day at a time.

Hi Peterc2018,

Thanks for sharing, that is a difficult thing to admit and put out there for anyone to see so much respect for that.

I hope you continue your recovery.

You raise a very important point however which is how easily addicts of anything can be influenced, which ties into the current debate around whether online gambling should be limited like the FOBT’s

I’m a regular watcher of all kinds of gambling streams, videos etc but recently my feeling around it ‘helping people’ has changed dramatically and I honestly feel that it’s not, in fact the sole reason they exist is to get people to gamble.

That will likely prompt a lot of anger or abuse that people are responsible for themselves, and it’s a minority that are at risk but still the reality is that it harms people. In real terms a good proportion of those people signing up today or tomorrow are the people like you and I of today, only 5-10 years down the line.

For me something needs to be done about that, I don’t blame any of the ‘influencers’ they are serving a purpose and making a living during a specific moment in time but for me the only way that can go is down eventually.

Affiliate marketing isn’t new, but streaming is and that’s where I see the next limitations on ‘advertising’ which affiliate streaming essentially is, being enforced.

I’m a complete hypocrite because I love all the content I consume but never less the situation is the situation.

All the best for the future!!
