Apart from the abuse of playing excessively, it can also cause people to become gambling addicts, we all know that anything excessive will not have a good impact, especially if it is misused, everyone has different goals in gambling, some are looking for fun, some are looking for money, but for those who are looking for Their enjoyment will not be playing excessively and it is easy to control themselves when gambling.

But it's different for gamblers who are looking for money, usually they will play excessively and abuse the actual rules of the game, where when they lose they should stop to prevent losing more but there are still many who can't control their emotions when gambling where people always aim to make money in gambling. will end up addicted to gambling.

You have spoken well, gambling is from way back, it's probably older than any of us that are currently living, and this is an activity that will live on even far after we, and our children, and our children's children have gone, we did not invent gambling, very few know the origin of gambling, and as such, gambling can not be stopped, it can only be regulated.

It is true that gambling have become modernized, technology have affected and changed almost everything, trying to stop gambling right now will only push people into the older ways gambling was practiced before the internet came into existence.

And also worthy of note is that, every activity in life have their pros and cons, their advantages and disadvantage, gambling in itself is not a bad thing to do, abuse is what lead many people into becoming gambling addicts, those who respect the rules of gambling always enjoy and have fun doing it.

Listen closely and follow solid counsel for the purpose to avoid going down an erroneous path. Gambling cannot be stopped because it is a daily practice for most gamblers; therefore, if you tell an addicted gambler to stop gambling, do you wish to kill him or her? They're addicted and can't stop, and even if they want to, it will never be relatively easy for them. What I know is that gambling can be regulated and reduced momentarily, but it cannot be stopped forever. I know a lot of folks whose lives have been wrecked by gambling. Most gamblers have become addicted to gambling and will continue to practice using all last cards to place wagers on.

The thing is that every company, from a major one to a tiny food stall, all of them are trying to "manipulate" people so that they were buying their products. And those who are telling you about "manipulation techniques or shady schemes" are doing that too. They just want you to consume their product, information in that case. And it's natural, there's nothing wrong with that. You just can choose not listening to them, including the promotion from casinos. It's your choice.

That too, sincere help is better than a forced one because you know that the person cares about you. Open mindedness is a mindset that needs to be learned early on in life because being open minded is difficult when you're an adult with an established belief. The victim blaming part is a difficult one because when you listen to the argument of these people that do this, they always sound so logical and reasonable but the problem is that victim blaming invalidates their horrific experience into a lesson that will soon be forgotten after listening to it, I hope that more and more people learn not to do that kind of thing against people that are a victim of addiction and many other horrifying experiences out there. Good for your friend to be able to stop gambling and live a life free of that vice.

It is a personal funded project and I think it will be hard for them to stay for long even if they are keeping their cost low. According to their website, their primary income is to sell backlinks to their customers which is I think a result a having partnerships with casinos and other organization. The intention of this casino is good but it would be lucky for them if a big casino intends to make a partnership with them which still haven't realized yet.

If this is primary a business, I don't think that this will make the owner rich but if this is somehow a charity that primary wants to help gamblers to quit or rehabilitate them, I think they would last long if they somehow get support from their target clients.

Yeah that's the reason we can't expect to much on them especially on having a partnership on some certain group that tackle up gambling addiction and help those people affected. They create this business for them to earn a profit and not for doing any charity work for any organization or certain individual. So its really up for the person or people around him on how they can aid up this addiction since this is really a serious matter for a person.

But I guess there are separate groups can help people who's suffering gambling addiction so maybe the person affect could present theirself to seek for help and get aid also for people in this forum maybe they could try the service offered on the site mention then see if there's changes happened of we can get a help from these people regarding on what we are or those gamblng addict  facing.

for  sure that there will be other groups that may cooperate and coordinate to your team but Casino houses? I'm afraid that they will ever have any  interest in doing such because Addiction is their target, addiction is their weapon, addiction is what made them rich and will make them more richer.

I did not say that to attach casinos but I am telling what for me  is real , because each gambling addict is their milking cow and who's farmer that will let their cow's gone?

But looking for your adding content not just spanish sites but also in other part of the world, and also advance congratulations for your 5000 membership .

You can't underestimate the power of Willpower, maybe it's something else you are referring to but if it is true Willpower, then it's enough to set any addicts free without any therapists, psychiatrists or other similar experts. This is what is helping me at all times and I experienced it at the time when I was addicted many years ago. The thing is that I have a very strong mind, and that is the spirit, and if you can have that Willpower to say "No" to it and you are determined for even just a few days, that might be how you might have gotten healed forever. Except that people remain in their condition and believe they must see experts simply because they do not have the Will to say enough is enough.

But the truth is that Willpower is in categories, and to some, it's very weak, to some moderate, to others strong. This is why you can't judge Willpower entirely because it might be weak in some people and when it's weak, we can't still call it Willpower but Weakwill as the mind of the person would still be dragged by both addiction to gambling and the Willpower, and eventually the gambling might still win. But if someone has that strong Willpower and uses it to fight gambling, such a person doesn't need anyone else as it's a personal determination and will not return to his vomit any longer.

Addiction could be tough but the solution is little as long as the person is really Willing to set himself free.

You all in the right in what you have all said. You know, for an addictive gambler to start responding to external supports system he/she must first recognize that what they are doing is wrong and harmful to his/herself and to bear it in mind that whatever measures external bodies are building towards him is for his own good interest.

So first it's the personal will power that count for an addictive gambler before the support from specialist or family and friends come through to compliment it all. It is extremely difficult to give support system to an addictive gambler who sees nothing wrong with his compulsive gambling habit.

actually not just support groups but for me? specifically FAMILY Members is what will help
us make it through , Have watched a cousin that turns into addicted gambler that he tried to commit suicide
because of addiction , made some therapy but does not brings Him complete saving from gambling but when
His family Interfere (including me of course) yeah he changed and now a addiction free.

I will have to disagree with you to some extent, not completely. Will power can definitely heal one off gambling addiction, but it all depends on the level the addiction have gotten to, you would agree with me that addiction are of different stages, and for the gambler who have gotten to a very deep level of addiction in gambling, I agree that, will power alone can not bring the gambler out of that addiction, the gambler will have to seek external help, like the one being offered by quitgamble.com.
But for the gambler who is still in their shallow surface of gambling addiction, such gambler can easily quit and come out from such addiction if he or she so want, and apply will power required to stop.

because OP sees nothing to talk about as he have already addressed all the important details while most of the recent post are already tackled and generic posts that He believes there is nothing to answer.
OP's dedication has been proven as he runs the project on his own from his own pocket so I think we cannot question His motive here.
but for the sake of arguments, just after you post this? OP replies and shows that he is active here and checking each post if needed to answer or to deny.
and one thing is very certain here? that we are all being asked if we are willing to help Him spread this project .

I'm talking about something a little different. 
We are talking about the self-awareness of those players whom their environment clearly and almost accurately considers addicted gamblers at the stage of the disease.  And it is clear that such a person’s passion for gambling has become an addiction.  This self-awareness of such a player seems to force him to constantly immerse himself in his world of dreams and fantasies, a little different from our world, the world of gambling.  However, these will not necessarily be some fantastic games like GTA.  This could even be a game of poker, for example.  It’s just that life in such a world forces the player to act in accordance with the laws and rules of such a world.  So he, returning to our world, simply steals money and heads back to his game world.  It’s great if such a person strives to return to our world, this is the first step on the path to recovery.  But many of the addicted players are happy in their game world and they do not want to return to our world.  This is of course a disaster for all their relatives.  But the gambler doesn’t think about this at all.  In this case, only compulsory treatment can return him to our world. 

This is roughly how I imagine this whole process with addicted gamblers.

The thing is that to get out of any problem things can be very different, because basically when it comes to things like doing more for us it is Necessary , what does it mean ? that if Something is harming us then we have to resist, that is what we must see, Otherwise we could be doing the right things, but if we are falling into the same mistakes, something that Characterizes us as humans because I don't know, It is not the first time that something like this has been done, but there are people who know that they are harming themselves and they are Still there, sometimes I have seen people who fall into addiction but it is not because they make money , or Because they want to make money, but because they feel that they can do it better, it is something like beating the casino and that is something that is not in the normal Parameters, there are people who are like that, of course the monetary factor is that which should be the most Essential , I can say that things in a caisn can be like this and what Each person can do or Generate.

In this case , when we are playing, the Addiction is something that we Should not eliminate and not generate it, that is, when we do not have control over what we play, over what we are willing to lose, it is somewhat difficult, if there is someone who They go to the casinos and play, and they already have their way of playing and they see that there are new rules to avoid falling into Addiction , many times they do not accept them, because they say that their system is the best, and clearly things can be affected when they are does any type of thing that is of a Spending nature , if we see that more management of things can be done in a casino I Recommend that, and when you Win , withdraw , the other error that is generated in a player in the casinos, What is very common is that he does not retreat When he has to retire, a Problematic player can take first place if there are internal Problems within the player, Obviously he will take them to the environment.

Personal willpower alone will not stop gambling. You need support from therapists, or support groups as it will help in developing accountability and addressing underlying issues. Will power alone will only give a brief solution to gambling. I know that gambling websites have a portion where write about getting help with gambling addiction. They are very helpful can connect gambling addicts to communities and the help resources they need.

On the time that you do already find yourself to be delusional because of the things that you are already imagining and cant really be possibly to happen then its a solid indicative sign that you are alread addicted to it.
People would really be make those kind of realizations on the time that they would really be experiencing some difficult situations or scenarios. Each person does have their own reasons on why they are really  that trying to think on things which cant really be that possible and trying out to fight on what they do believe or something that they do have in mind.

In speaking about quitting or getting rid of it, then we would really be having some couple of services and professional seek of help when it comes to this manner and of course
those things wont come cheap specially in speaking about treatment on addiction. Quitting is really the main problem for most people specially to those who are addicted into it.
HAving these kind of platforms or services which are basically for free just to help out to those addicted out there, then this is something that really appreciated.

this will be one of the best initiative if some gambling sites will collaborate in your worth a try
initiative and to show how they are really concern about their players and not only about their money, the business
must show interest in helping those cannot handle gambling properly meaning those irresponsible gamblers that needs help.
Having 500 members will shortly come , but have you not planning to extend your launching in Asian countries?
I think there is also a need in those sections .

Exactly what social groups are to be for, if not to support individuals and even to expand the help outside to none members, it's not just about helping each other to raise financial help when one member is in need. I have seen a social group that comes out to educate people about a particular issue that is affecting the youth of that community, which were drug abuse, alcoholism, and gambling addictions.
 
They were going about educating people with a few flyers on how they could be able to stop whatever they were addicted to, and it was really a helpful orientation. I notice that day passed through them to the audience, which gave them a listening ear, so their age groups are like that, and if society can have more of that, it will really help some young gamblers who don't know their way around. We know information is all over the internet, but there are still people who pay attention to old-school ways.

Wow, 5000 members? That really alot buddy, a big congratulations on that achievement, this clearly shows that you are doing something really good, I personally did not believe that by now, the site would have grown to such extent, really amazing indeed.

And concerning site collaborations, I honestly do not know how things work really, but I was hoping that you be the one to reach out to the casinos for possible collaboration, and if they want such collaboration, they did approve or disapprove if they don't want.

And besides, do you really need casino's collaboration? Except you will be getting funding from the casinos, I think what you need is marketing.
