I did gamban back in July, haven’t gambled online since 4th July.  I feel like its made a difference as I haven’t had to take out any new loans and am just about making it through each month.  Paid off one debt completely this month so next month will be £100 better off.  From watching the videos it looks like the slots are being pretty vicious lately anyway, and with turning off the bonus buys and potentially the max stake changing then maybe more people will stop, which can only be a good thing.  Anyone that is getting into trouble with gambling I would definately recommend gamban.  I know you think you might be missing out on that one great session where you get a massive hit, but I have had them before and the money always ends up going back.

Brilliant win, congratulations!

Hope you can put it to good use.  My advice would be to self exclude using gamban now so that you can’t put it all back in.  You might not think it would be possible but it’s very easy.

I used to be the same, driving to visit a customer would be an excuse to visit every motorway service station on the road from here to there.  Some of the service stations even have bookies with FOBTS, double joy!! (NOT)

I still drive a lot and somehow I just got so depressed with losing all the time I just don’t do it anymore.  It takes a lot of effort and you just have to tell yourself you are not going in there, not even just to spend your loose change.

I would exclude again.  I’ve been excluded since 4th July and I think it’s really helping.  The temptation would be to put in £50, watch that disappear, then you will be thinking “Well I haven’t lost any money for x months, so lets just put another £50 in”.. and you know how the rest of that story goes.

Same here, I’m 47.  I wanted to go to the one in London when I was younger but could never afford to get there and places were very limited.

I gave up gambling on 4th July and signed up to gamban.  I’m still pretty skint at the moment but things will get better I hope.  Still play the lottery but even spending £20 on tickets is nothing compared to losing £100’s in a FOBT or online.  I usually play one line on the lottery and then the rest on 3 or 4 number hotpicks.

TV advertising should be banned just like smoking was.  Or at least restricted until after 11pm.  I know they can only advertise Bingo during the day but it should be completely stopped during the day I think.

I’ve noticed that too.  Also I’ve noticed that the fruit machines in service stations over the past few weeks have looked really unused.  Maybe people are wising up.

The thing that stands in my mind is walking around a supermarket after spunking all your wages in the slots, with just enough change left to buy milk and bread, and looking at all the ‘wonderful’ foods on the shelves that you can’t afford

I do believe casinos and any electronic gambling game is rigged, and I guess they have to be, but it just depends on your interpretation of the word I guess.  As far as I know, when you click spin a number is chosen from the RNG and that number is then used to lookup a win/loss in a table of pre-determined results.  That means that there are some combinations of reels that cannot appear on the screen, because only a finite amount of combinations are held in the table.  To me, that is the same as being rigged.  And when you play roulette, it is not picking one number, but 5 or 6 and then deciding which one to use depending on the outcome of the RNG, and that is not how ‘real’ roulette works, so again to me that seems rigged.

And I do believe that there is a way that a casino could give a streamer an unfair advantage if they wanted to.  Nothing is impossible.

Miami Dice with a £4 or £6 jackpot (originally tokens but then got changed to cash thank god), Roller Coaster and Joker Poker were my favourite games.  Joker Poker and Miami Dice had marked cards that would occasionally show up to help you win the gambles.  Then when £500’s came  out it was Reel King, Party Casino and Monopoly, and then onto the FOBT’s and roulette.  God knows how much money I have put in over the years and how many of my relationships gambling ruined!
