As I said in one of my previous comments, dealing with gambling problems should be taking care of in specialized centers with the help of experts. This can be confirmed by referring to data regarding recovery cases, of which we find that more than 90 percent are in treatment centers, following a precise care program, while the remaining 10 percent are cases that were able to overcome their disease states on their own, meaning that they have a strong determination to decide to finally quit gambling without the need for any external intervention.

I am not saying that this application is absolutely bad or useless, but it can be described as a collection of many contents in one application. These contents are found scattered on the Internet, and those wishing to search can find them without the need for an application. I also confirm that the application can help cases in areas where treatment methods are not available and the patient is ignorant of the steps that can be followed to help him.

Yes, its there and could really be something relevant but in overall these apps or whatever that correlates about gambling quitting or stopping will really be that useless if the said gambler wont really be having no plans on stopping at all.   When it comes on quitting on gambling then this is something that wont really be that having any thing that could help out but only yourself.
This is why it would really be better that you should really know and be wary on the things that you are dealing with. If you do know the risks and possible circumstances that you might be able to experience then you would really be that definitely be avoiding yourself into possible trouble on which this is something which is really that recommended.

This is the first time I noticed this topic and I found it really interesting.

Although it may seem to some that this app is not of great importance on the basis that dealing with gambling problems can be done in specialized centers with the help of experts specialized in this field, I see the importance of this application for users in countries that do not have specialized treatment centers.
In my country, for example, there are a few addiction treatment centers that provide their services at a very high cost that does not fit everyone’s budgets, compared to treatment departments in public hospitals that do not provide good quality services, and the doctor is required to inform the authorities of any of the cases he deals with, which is what It completely contradicts the principle of privacy, so no one visits them.

My experience in gambling made me write what I wrote and I know that people will not knowingly get themselves in trouble, nevertheless, we should not treat them with kids' gloves or not put them through in the right way. If they had done the right thing in the first place by first preparing for gambling to learn and know the dos and don't of it, and also doing them as it should be done, they wouldn't have been the victim of gambling addiction. This is why it is good to caution the new gamblers so that they can do the needful and not just dabble into gambling due to the money they want to make from it, it will be disastrous in this regard.

The love of money will always blind gamblers, and the issue is not about addiction alone but the wastage of their resources. But if they are "before warned they would beforeknow and armed at the same time" to their benefit at large. Those who are either making it in gambling or enjoying their gambling activities (even if they are not making so much money) are the ones who fully understand gambling and engage it the right way, they will never be desperate about gambling and be responsible in doing it through moderate gambling way and others. There is nothing wrong with gamblers knowing this beforehand, and for those who had started on the wrong footing, it is not too late for them to retrace their steps for their own good.

The challenge here or the hard part arises when a gambler is either unaware of their addiction or not willing to stop gambling voluntarily. When a person acknowledges the excessive and increase of their gambling activity, that is the first positive step in my opinion as well as in my experience, perhaps a lesson learned from realizing the amount of money and time lost chasing that adrenaline rush, only to see it vanishes for absolutely nothing.

Platforms like yours could really assist and help a lot of individuals who are seeking help, especially in countries lacking or not having any rehabilitation centers, like my case. For those straggling with addiction in our countries it's often a harder battle with limited resources and knowledge. I believe such services should be promoted alongside the gambling industry and its advertisements. If gamblers struggling with addiction stumble upon this platform it might prompt them to recognize their addiction and take another direction to open up and seek help. However, I also find your monthly fees subscription to the platform a very good price for some gambler who spends double the amount in one blackjack hand or a slot spin.

actually this it not just for compulsive gambler but also a best way for new gambler to know what can gambling bring them as a warning and  a guide , reading this whole thread will give them more knowledge to what can do and not in terms of gambling.
because we knew nowadays that this area of fun bringing is also a place where you can lose everything if not knowing what you are entering and engaging.

I don't think anyone would willingly get themselves in trouble, so those who get into gambling don't realize that they are going to get addicted to it and then become reckless gamblers spending so much time and money on it. Most people just want to try their luck with gambling in the beginning with a small amount, but they don't stop right there when they lose that money, they keep trying so that they might win something at some point, and eventually get addicted to it.

Then there comes a time when they don't gamble only for the gains but they do it because they can't be without it, though they also want to win some money but the addiction is barely for that because I have seen gambling addicts winning in gambling and not stopping but trying to win more after that.

When compulsive gamblers want to become normal gamblers, they need to make serious efforts because it is not easy to change their gambling habits. They have to really learn it and practice it until they can do it. Members of this forum always try to give their best advice to people who need advice and will help them until they can change their gambling habits. Reading many interesting topics from this forum and other places can help someone change their gambling habits. It will help them to reduce their gambling activities.

Your website have some quality content that can guide a compulsive gambler to become a normal and responsibile gambler. Sometimes, members in this forum always seek for ways to stop gambling addiction which I have usually offered my own opinion but I can suggest this topic for them and my own opinion too.

Well done for the initiative, but let me make a remark - you said that gambling addiction is not an illness. That is not quite correct. Gambling addiction is a mental health disorder (mental illness).

Hope that there will be agencies that willwork with you guys because this will be a big help for the world.
and hope to continue this advocacy to help addicted gambler you don't know what help have you bringing to the gambling community .

Those who are later looking for help and fighting gambling addiction are certainly at fault, it's from the beginning that they should have avoided that to avoid wasting themselves and their finances away. Many would not learn about gambling but just dabble into it, they never knew how it is being engaged wisely, the dos and don'ts of a good gambler and many more, but will just start because they believe they could try their luck since it is easily accessible, but instead, they start losing and exhibiting a very bad behaviour regarding it. Well, it is never too late for anyone and every gambler could be healed whether they want it or not, that is why they need more external help if they can't help themselves.

And yes, it will be nicer, easier and quicker if the gambler has the Willpower in them, it may even make them heal all by themselves, but when they cannot after trying many times, external help is the key. This may start with their friend, family and loved ones, before moving to the expert level if such close external help does not work. And if it's the experts in the field of psychological healing like psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists, they can unlock the Willpower that you guys think is impossible, so that the gambler can control his consciousness and fight within as well. That is the first goal of all experts even if the gambler or the addict seems uncooperative and unwilling to be cured.

It would be great to offer everything for free and get sponsorships or deals with governments. However, it's extremely hard to deal with governments. There is another aspects to it as well. People tend to take things more seriously when they pay for something than when it's free. Think of how many free services you've signed up for and never used.

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.
