I consider your strategy on how to stop gambling addiction a great move and marketing your product in a space where gambling service are offered to the detriment of the user is a wise decision.

I will like to know if this is a professional consultancy service or just opinions and possibly methodology used on former addicts.

I see your point. Pure waste of time. And it can be frustrating when you're required to register just to explore a website. While registration can offer benefits websites should allow users to access some features without it to make the initial experience more user-friendly.

If they really want to help us they don't need us to register IMO.
I think not all addicts can be generalized to the same level of addiction, instead they should be treated differently. You know that there have been many articles on gambling addiction tips, are they effective in treating all addicts or do some of them  still have to go to a consultant?

I really don't think that consulting services should be tested by ordinary users.
If there’s no registration fee, then why afraid to register beside you can just use other information if you want to remain anonymous and want’s to solve your problem in private with a help of course of this kind of program. The sites needs the traffic for them to make a money, not unless they offer a program with a fee. It should be fine if ordinary people wants to access this site maybe they just want to get an information on how they can save themselves from getting addict in gambling and hoping that this site can really help them.

the site looks interesting. But the main thing i don`t like that i need to register. And everywhere i see the button of registration. And i can`t test site totally without registration.
It's normal to have a registration button since they're going to give away a lot of materials for free for those who want to quit gambling and this could really be a great help for them. The data that they'll gather through registration could be used by them to have that data sent to the advertisers for them to earn with this free service. This is what we get from free services, we're the product but at the same time it's like give and take for both users and the platform itself. They have a good initiative and advocacy on this one because many gamblers really need help.

While many of those don't have money anymore to seek for professional help, a free service like this is their go-to for their own assessment and help that they need to have. It's just free to register so if it's something that couldn't really make you test them, it's okay as there's no forcing of people to register.

Although they have materials that you can go through their website without having the need to register. All of those information that are displayed, that's all what you will get without registration and they're not that bad at all.

It is possible that there are lots of opportunities after registration and i think that at least part of them really need registration(like different challenges). But the same time i must have an opportunity to use some services without registration - i don`t like it. So i just looked at the site and closed it.

It's probably for the purpose of statistics and allows them to gather some information about people who need help, their background and all that. Also, it allows them to send people questions later if and how they've managed to recover, get some feedback about the things they could improve.

Getting testimonials from people is another important thing. Sites like this can apply for government grants and testimonials are along with user stats are an important part of that process.
Making you register = money in one way of the other. If all fails, they can sell the data to a casino for targeted ads and email spam Wink It's the worst possible scenario, but the keyword is "possible."

It's so annoying when one is left helpless in using a casino when the contact system aren't giving the necessary attention to guide through.

It is mostly because agencies which are supposed to help people with problems like alcoholism, drug abuse, suicide ideation and gambling addiction are commonly unfunded, since most of them are non-profit organizations.

How can the agencies regulate gambling, this is beyond their power or reach, they may try to but it's not an easy thing to make regulations in this kind of situations, the agencies cannot be responsible for the way we gamble, wether to our own advantage or not they don't care, they only work to apprehend those found abusing or violating the ethics of gambling by getting engaged in any of the above mentioned characters.

I am not talking about regulations on the casinos themselves, actually. I am talking about groups and organizations which are supposed to help people to cope with addictions and situations which have negatively affected their standards of living, which are the one unfunded and lacking economical resources.
On the other hand, if we talk about government agencies which are supposed to be a branch of the government, then it would be foolish to refer to them as unfunded organizations. They are funded by the taxpayers' dollars and are one of the most important branches, it just takes to look at the American IRS, which funding goes up the billions of dollars.

Gambling addiction is something that cant really be that something that would be resolved out. Professional services about gambling addiction is something that we do know that they do exist
and there are indeed gamblers who are making use of those services or paying up just to make themselves getting out of addiction but actually there's no other way or method
that would help us out on able to quit up gambling but rather we would really be that have that will on stopping on point. Its a matter of discipline and control
when it comes to this manner.

If there are some services which do offer free service for these gambling addicts then this is something which is really that commendable.
We do know that giving out some guides or counseling does really consume up time and resource and effort on which giving out
or having it for free is something that good to look at somehow.
  There's an evidence-supported method designed for us to make changes in ourselves in such a way that it can encourage loved ones to reduce their addictive behaviors. It's called the Community Reinforcement Approach with Family(Friend) Training (CRAFT). It's being used in a free skills training tools support group program called SMART Recovery Family & Friends.The tools are things like establishing healthy boundaries, practicing self-care, learning and practicing healthier communication skills. Protecting our own safety.
   Not trying to talk to someone while they're intoxicated or in the middle of acting out their addiction, because they are not in a place to hear or learn anything then, and it only opens us up to getting hurt. Being consistent in choosing ways we can be loving and help them without helping the addiction. Nagging, pleading, and threatening are ineffective and tend to support the loved one's addiction (which often feeds off negative attention as much as positive attention).

There are no problems with registration. But i don`t want to register. At least i don`t want to leave any data for unknown site. I get enough spam letters yet to add some more. And without registration i can`t see anything interesting except several videos. Everybody can choose himself to register and test site, or just leave it. The OP asked feedback - he got it.
I think the data they get from the registration is the only thing that they can get from providing free access or free guide on how to quit gambling. Most of us will put dummy details into the registration form to achieve anonymity and I don't see a problem with that but I think the developers are thinking to use the data to improve their contents and monitor the flow of users in their application. The website has a good intention and I think that a few minutes and false information is enough for us to get contents on how to quit gambling.
I haven`t try it. But i don`t sure that everything is like it looks. If they just want to help and give you such content for free - they don`t need to make us register. And i think that at least i will get spam messages.
And i repeat it one more time. You can register if you want, it is your decision. I don`t want to register, it is my decision. We both can choose what to do ourselves. It is my feedback for the OP. He can change something or not, it is his decision.
A person's advice to quit gambling doesn't do much if someone doesn't try it themselves, there is a website with some scripts on how to help a gambler quit gambling.  Quitting gambling requires hard work on your part.  Gambling is one thing that can easily make a person addicted to its deep addiction.  To save ourselves from this addiction, we have to be careful from the beginning of gambling.  But when a person becomes deeply addicted, it becomes very difficult for him to quit gambling.  So I think it's enough if someone tries to gamble on their own.  I don't think it's very logical to quit gambling with the help of a website

I do not see any big problems with registration if they do not ask much of your personal information. You can use any random or a no use email to register and get access to what they offer if you really need it.
Think about it, even the bitcointalk forum requires that you register to enjoy the main benefits of the forum, else you will be in read-only mode.

I like the website because they recognise that there is gambling problem and they want to solve it. That is a good one...

If you are providing a dummy personal details, one thing is certain, and that is the fact that the email address you provide must be a valid one, as you will have to verify the email before your registration can be considered as valid.
And based on what I think, it's the email address that the site is after, since they will never ask you to kyc or anything like that, the email address is what they need.

So, if at all you are signing up, you don't have much a choice but to provide a valid email, since that is also the only way you can receive contents they send out to their users to help them gamble, you either do this or don't register at all.

And besides, what is the essence of using or registering on the site if you are not addicted to gambling? I personal believe that gamblers who are indeed addicted will not give registration on the site a second thought, as long as its solution that will help them come out from their addiction they are after.

One thing is having a free platform where we can get the best advice as resources to help tackle every one of our gambling challenges, but another thing is having the determination that we want to make use of these various opportunities to help affect our gambling experience for our own sake and benefits, it's so annoying when one is left helpless in using a casino when the contact system isn't giving the necessary attention to guide through.
The gamblers are the sole factors that will determine how successful this service can perform and we have such platforms that provide gamblers with  the tools for expanding gambling excesses, and also making sure that we come out clean with all our approaches towards those things that have negative impact on our general well being so for that, the gambler is in the right position to determine which one and when he apply them, so the main thing still lies with the gambler to decide when and where those  tool can be applied since the decision to either quit or restrict your gambling activities to safe you from one thing or the other that have presented a negative outcome for the gambler.

The feedback is: that your site is just awesome. The platform is tailored right with good sections from self-exclusion to various topics on how to get rid of gambling addiction. I never imagined that I would stumble upon such a website and there is such a high need to have the platform to take us away from the addiction. Truly, we need this because some crowd can't control themselves. I have seen peeps going nuts over their losses so much as they went on investing more money to recover that lost money but ended up in a loop where they are just putting their in but getting nothing back. They do not play straight or with open mind, but they play with emotions, loose money in the process and there is no way to stop it as long as they don't help themselves from that additocio.

I think that is what "self exlsuion" is all about in your website.

I am seeing few blogs that are really fun to read and think on, never thought Sex drive the gambling addiction. That really caught my eye. Lolz. Your blog section is definitely worth reading.

Thanks for such platform. Hope so it gets published a lot.

The whole thing is such a nice initiative. Your reasoning about responsible gambling is also on point, it won't affect at all if someone is already addicted. It's a completely different problem, and here you are making a movement trying to fix that issue.

What is also nice is that you spread the content for free, though upon looking at the About page, this is a pretty ambitious project. I wonder how would you monetize this site because I believe this might cost some money. By the way, personally, I look at your website UI is cluttered. Have you considered redesigning your current site or does it just work wonderfully in terms of user analytics and their experiences?

It is mostly because agencies which are supposed to help people with problems like alcoholism, drug abuse, suicide ideation and gambling addiction are commonly unfunded, since most of them are non-profit organizations. That kind of entities mostly rely on donations and rarely get active funding from the government. So for example, of there are 100 people who are addicted to gambling and need counseling, the organization (in order to manage their limited services in a wise way) only hire 4 operators to take care of the questions and problems of those 100 gamblers who are seeking help.
The result is obvious, many (if not all) of those gambler will feel neglected by the system they attend to for help.
That is why I personally believe the most important thing to have when facing these problems is a good relationship with family and friends, to supplement the counseling one could get, public or private.

Every approach have it own negative impact and the positive impact, and i don't think gamblers should be allowed to test run all the features in the casino, without having an account in the same casino, this is why some of them will only allow you access only when you are a member.


This is the reason why, they always give welcome bonuses to players to keep them motivated to stay with the casino once they create an account.
I get your point about registering account on casino. But Man what the heck are you saying? This isn't a casino; it's a website that cares about your gambling addiction. I know you have a signature campaign quota since we're in the same campaign. Did you really read the OP or even the title thread before replying? I was thinking that you thought this is another a casino website. Right?
