Topic: QuitGamble.com - Free Help for Problem Gamblers (Read 3316 times)

They have a 7-day free trial plan so that's likely enough for someone who would like to try them if they're going to be helpful. With that period, customer has the access that they've made for everyone to help with their own community and materials they've made.

I agree, it will be helpful if they team up with the government and propose this and see if they're up to the standards by the country where they'd offer this.

But, majority of the government deals are hard to get even for an appointment so let's see if they've tried it already or not and if they're going to respond on this.

You said was right on which on the time that you wont really be able to help yourself first then other help from outside would really be totally pointless or useless because you would really be that definitely be
playing back again and this is why it would really be that important that you should really know on what you are doing. Quitting gambling might really that sounds too that easy to be done
but on the time that you are really that making yourself on such condition then its something that would really be that too damn hard to be doing on.

I like your concluding part, it at least levelled the whole discussion. I know that there are thieves and people who do unspeakable things for the money, and if such people are gambling, I believe that they can naturally think towards that angle since they are bad people. This is the school of thought I picked my reply from and the only reasonable angle I can think of people that bad people will always be bad and can go to any length to achieve their badness.

If such people are now gamblers, some people would say they acted because of the addiction/desperation of gambling, but no, they acted in such a manner simply because they are bad and shameless and nothing more. This is all about needing money, what you use the money to do does not matter, what matters is how you get the money, is it good or bad? That's what defines you. If the source of money is bad, then you naturally want it in a bad way, that's why you went for that choice and not the gambling that makes such a person do that. You can imagine the example you narrated, that guy was desperate already, and that's why he resorted to stealing someone's wallet.

That's so senseless because no one forces him to gamble all his school fees, the greed of needing more money, or the frustration of not having enough pushed him to that. Something must have pushed every thief also. This may not even be an addiction case but a mere case of a victim of gambling who later became desperate. No matter why, anyone who goes to the length of stealing to gamble should be rehabilitated immediately. If not, such is near his true physical madness because such is already insane.

You'll be shocked at what gambling addiction could make some individuals do, I've heard a case of a guy who tried to steal another gamblers wallet in a bet shop and when he was caught his excuse was that he used his tuition fee to gamble and lost everything so stealing was the only option he could think of to try again and see if he could recover his lost funds, funny right? That's how foolish some individuals could be when they become addicted.
 
 Well you might be right though because someone that's not a thief won't think of that as the first step to take in recovering their funds and maybe the guy who tried to steal that wallet was trying to use his gambling addiction as an excuse to get pardoned but unfortunately for him a crime is a crime and you'll get punished for it no matter the excuse. The best thing to do would've been walking out of that premises and go seek other better alternatives to recover his tuition fees.

I just barely knew the site and I thought this was a free program just opened the site and see pricing on it heheh.

Tho is always good to see people create a new site like this and help the other but It would be more great if you teamed up with the government so you can make this goodwill completely free. Do u need translator if So just hit me up heheh

We should not take addiction matters with levity hands, this is not what we can easily just achieve without going through a lot, both for the gambler involved and those that are willing and ready to render help over the addiction, changing people is one of the most difficult task to do, because some cannot even effect the change on themselves and they desire in seeing it just happening, there are challenges to face in dealing with addictions and the both parties have to help the situation altogether in other to achieve something.

Actually that is what i've said mate , that it is self acceptance first before you can win in this
battle because gambling addiction is like fighting for your own desire and decisions , even how many
people wanted to help you out as long as you are not helping yourself this will turn into nothing but
continues addiction.

Perhaps it’s true that you can find hard and low-paid work in most places where people live.  However, often such work is associated with criminal activity or crime.  For example, you can even go to work as a mobile phone network operator, but at the same time call people and offer fraudulent actions, try to rob other people of their money. 

However, I certainly agree that the stage when a player becomes a criminal and a thief in order to continue the game is of course an abnormal option; this happens rarely, and in this case such a person intiially has criminal inclinations.  And by the way, he needs real treatment for gambling addiction by real doctors, maybe even isolation in a closed medical institution, since family members are powerless in this case.  And they can't help him.

I am curious about the number of 6,500 ex gamblers you claim to have in your community - especially as it has not updated in any form since November last year but it seems a bit made up in the first place. I'm all for helping gamblers, but at least gambling companies can tend to be open about what they're offering and that seems like a bit of a lie. It's such a strange name as well, while I am happy that you're part of a project that supports ex gamblers there are already quite a few preexisting solutions out there. Take this forum for example, it seems like a much more open design where people can see activity rather than trying to funnel people straight to download an app.

Stealing for the sake of gambling is the height of it and I have never seen or heard of that story before. Not with the uncontrollable ones I know, they always have their limits, and when there are no friends and families willing to give them money anymore and they do not have anywhere to borrow from, I believe they often accept that situation as their last and do not resort to stealing. In my thought, I believe the person who went to the extent of stealing to gamble is a criminal on his own, I will never take the excuse that it is the addiction per se that led him into it but the lack of contention and for his desperation for "money."

Still, he might gamble with part of the money but definitely not with all, meaning that it is not all about gambling but for the lack of money at that time. The scarcity of money can bring many unthinkable thoughts and acts, but nevertheless, it is out of greed that people do this. They can do unspeakable things due to greed and I know they do not have a single bardonable excuse for it. If you need money that desperately, why not go do menial jobs, after all, such jobs are readily available, and they are sufficient enough to satisfy the immediate need.

This is why the best thing that you should really do is not to make yourself that getting addicted at the first place, although it might not be that simple but having that control and moderation would really be the key.
Making yourself that getting addicted is really that too simple but getting out would really be the toughest challenge for a certain or particular person would really be able to experience out.
This is why if oyu do really value your life and the people around you and with your finances then it would really be best that you should be having that control towards your gambling involvement.
Quitting gambling is something that you should really be able to do so without any issues. It is really just that there are people who are really that not good when it comes to self control.

However, some begin to actively seek money to continue their games.  And here the degradation of personality practically begins.  Such a player cannot repay the money borrowed from friends and acquaintances because he has completely lost the money.  The attitude of the people arolund him and his close relatives also changes dramatically.  Nobody lends him money.  And such a player begins to commit crimes, and he begins to steal.  Well, it ends in court and prison.  Well, in prison there is no way you can lose in normal and decent gambling games.  This is of course the saddest ending to the passion for gamblng.  Sometimes there is a better option and the player is cured.  And continues his normal life. 
But still, such cases with criminal outcomes happen quite often in many countries where gambling is very widespread.

On the time that you are already spending into those amounts on which arent supposed to be spend then this do obviously signifies that you are already addicted to it and it is really just that better that you should stop it immediately if you dont like to mess up your life because of too much addiction. No external services or help that could really be totally be able to help you out with your addiction and it would really be just that be on yourself decision whether you would really be quitting for good or you would really be deciding for you to tolerate out such addiction. It would really be just that a matter of choice.

On the time that you do find out that you cant really be able to solve out such addiction then this is the time that you would really be seeking help from your loved ones. Things turns out
to be that a devastating thing if you do tolerate out such addiction. People do usually stop on playing gambling on the time that they dont really have money for them to spend on.

never that gambling is a bad place but the problem is how we deal with it , how we manage to gamble because if you deal with gambling seriously then that will make you a complete loser because sooner you will become addicted.
and when you starts borrowing money to use for betting then you are already considered as addicted gamblers.

Yeah!  There is really a lot of activity in this topic and in my opinion this is how it should be.  Now so many years, even decades, have passed when gaming addiction entered the life of mankind on such a scale after mass computerization, and then the mass distribution of all kinds of gadgets, smartphones on which you can play whenever and wherever you want. 
So the phenomenon of gaming addiction has become widespread and in general I like that the scientific community, sociologists and psychologists are really concerned about this global problem.  Of course, the problem needs to be solved somehow, but the solution itself will obviously be difficult.
 It is very correct that you find out the statistics on this issue. 
I hope it will help you in your much needed work.

I informed them and also gave them your email. Hopefully they will contact you soon. Your works are inspiring. Thank you.

Cheers,

Please do! Send me a PM, or ask them to contact me at [email protected]

I was checking the site and felt great to see that you are working with some academics to create contents. The Stockholm School of Economics in Riga is conducting a survey to understand decentralized gambling industry. Do you think you can collaborate with each others to help the academic study? I can connect you both if you want.

I'm sorry I haven't written anything for a while. I'm amazed to see the activity in this feed. I wish the people I'm trying to help would be as active in discussions as you are.

Here are the latest updates from QuitGamble.com

• We have passed 6500 members on the platform from 150+ countries now.
• The website is live in French, Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish and English
• During January, we worked on a study where we asked our members about their gambling habits. We got 3300 responses. I believe it's the biggest study on gambling addicts ever. (I'm a bit proud of that to be honest.) Among the questions we asked were: What do you gamble on? What do you struggle most with? And why do you gamble? We got some interesting results. 73% of gambling addicts gamble on slot machines... among women, that number is +90%. That main reason gambling addicts gamble is to win big money. (However, I've never met a gambling addict who gambles to win... so for me, that result is the most interesting of them all... Because it means that most gambling addicts don't know why they gamble. If you're curious, you can find the full gambling addiction study here.
• A couple of weeks ago, we started with a paywall for our courses and community. There are two reasons, first people tend to value things more if they need to pay for them. By paying, people take things more seriously, and hopefully, that will boost the activity. Second, we need money to be able to run our operations. Our goal is to be self-sustainable to remain completely independent from the gambling industry. All the extensive guides on the website and the Happiness Test will remain free.

The first step to quit any addiction is to just want to do it, the majority of those that are still immersed in it are in that situation because they want it, they cannot conceive their lives without gambling every day for hours, only those that have gotten tired of that lifestyle and want to recover a bit of what they lost can begin the process to heal, a process that is definitely difficult and that it can take a massive amount of time, but it can be done, as there are many people that leave their addictions behind and never fall on them again.
