Hi Brum,
Ah, you’re a tiddler and what you’re describing is nothing to get to worked up about.
You’ve made mistakes, LEARN from them.
So my advice is to go through the whole self exclusion process, the Bandit has a free code for Gamban above which is really good so long as you register all of your devices. Doing it in the bookies is a bit harder as you need to go in and take some pics with you, just leave your wallet at home. If you do have your wallet then walk straight up to the counter and don’t even look at the FOBT’s.
I’m a little puzzled by what you mean by “I’ve taken out several loans taking 80% of my wages go to pay the loans off (3 year loans)“? Does this mean your outgoings are very little or that you’re using credit cards to live day to day? How do you manage on just 20%?
In your situation, given your age and state of mind, I would contact a debt charity like Step Change for advice. You might be able to go for a DRO (Debt Relief Order) or a DMP (Debt Management Plan) but again, it really depends upon your circumstances…

The thing with any debt management help is to not feel guilty about your debt and underestimate how much you can practically get by each month without being punished so while it might sound like a good idea to get it paid off quickly, it can be a bad idea in the long run.
