[backofthenet WANTED $11 Outlaw]

About 6 weeks ago I signed up to gamstop for a year. I have to say I can now see how much money I was wasting. I love betting especially playing slots and placing football bets, but being able to save money and buy things I want outweighs the highs of betting in my opinion. Today for example I bought a budget laptop for £200; not expensive but i didn’t have to think if it would screw me for the month. Before I could easily end up spending £300 a week betting and trying to justify it. Will i bet again absolutely! But in future I’ll be sticking to one bet a week for fun and not chasing highs. I guess what I’m getting at is if you feel you’re betting too much try and take a break. Sometimes you have to fuck up before it hits home. Ps thanks to bandit as your videos keep me from wanting to spunk loads on the slots. Good luck to everyone hope somebody hits that jackpot! Or if your in bad spot to know it isn’t permanent

Well done 🙂 it’s better to be saving money than to be wasting it. Glad you’re keeping ok with it 🙂

Very true, breaks are very very important. You can end up where it is part of your daily routine which could end up very costly. There is afew personal friends i help that have had problems who would place shocking bets every weekend that basically had no chance of coming in lol, there reasoning was to keep the weekend scores interesting. I now have them hooked on fantasy football which is free but still keeps the weekends football very interesting may be worth a try as its all free.

Nice to hear you got something to show for your money! I really do hope you manage to limit yourself.

I’ve done something similar… I signed up on gamstop a few months back but a while back someone posted a site on the forums that isn’t on gamstop – Seedy removed the name of the casino in the guys post but I saw it before he did and obviously being a degenerate I signed up last week.

However I realised since this is the only casino I know of that has a good selection of games and isn’t on gamstop that setting limits would actually work for once as I can’t just go sign up to another casino. So now I get my fix of gambling with monthly limits in place so I can’t do my bollocks in.

I wish Gamstop would have an exceptions rule where you could choose 1 casino to play at and exclude the rest but I realise that would kind of defeat the point of what gamstop is for.

As long as you stick to your limits and don’t  change them at any point, I don’t see a problem. It’s your choice at the end of the day, but not sure how you will be covered if anything goes wrong, knowing most of the UK sites are covered by gamstop. Surely this means they’re either not licensed by the UKGC? I don’t know, just want you to be careful and not get screwed over 🙂

Thanks for the concern WB 🙂 x

I believe they are licensed by UKGC if I click the Gambling commission logo below it takes me to a gov.uk page although I could be wrong.

It seems to be a legit site but obviously if they ever end up burning me then I’ll self exclude from the site and changing my limits would take a month to come into effect I believe so that should save me from tilt changing it.
