    Nice one Haz 🙂

    I had to do similar except that it wasn’t online gambling.  It was the £500 arcade slots instead, so I had to fill in the forms etc to get myself excluded from the local adult gaming centres.  I was never a degenerate, but things had to stop as I wasn’t seeing much disposable income since last year’s Autumn statement.  What gets me is that it wasn’t the category of gambling that Theresa May was targeting (£500 slots).  She was meant to be targeting those bookies table games (blackjack, roulette etc).

    I’ve done online gambling for a few years though (Video Slots and Royal Panda) with limits imposed and I’ve never had a problem with those.  That’s because when the monthly money is gone, it’s gone, and I’m not tempted to take those limits off.  The other thing is not to sign up to a 3rd site, because if I do, then where does it stop?

    I think we’re all different and that’s the thing. For me arcades i can take them or leave them. I’ve had a couple of bad sessions this year a few ton down each time. Don’t get me wrong those sessions hurt like hell and felt sick to the stomach afterwards but they dont get me thinking about playing them at night when I’m bored. Online slots i find are just so addictive. I’d love to play in moderation but i know i wouldn’t. I think we just do what we need to do. I must be learning as for once I’m doing this after a win and not a loss for probably the first time ever lol.

    Different strokes and all that eh Haz.  It reminds me of the late 90s browser war where some peeps were Netscape extremists while the others were IE hardliners!

    So for me, being a £50 guy both online and offline, I’m dropping the offline bit as it was £50 lost on almost every occasion on a weekly basis since the Autumn statement and it wasn’t bringing me entertainment any more.  Whereas with online, I make an overall loss but only at a relatively small loss and I’m still finding it fun, so I am keeping with online as the lesser of the 2 evils 🙂

    The problem is, now that I have a bit of spare cash again, I’ll blow it on other addictive stuff like phones and other tech!

    Well done Haz we can’t use GameStop here in NZ so I take regular breaks from the casino using the lock account option. Just done a 180day look on VS after a bad session feels good to not have the option to play. Your making the right descion
