I wonder how effective this program is. Have there been any testimonies from addicted gamblers who were helped by your platform?

Good question, but it seems that this is just a new platform, so they might not have or maybe few gamblers have reach out to them. And if ever they have, the data is going to be fairly young. But I do hope that the OP will comeback for more data in the future.

Well, I didn't bother to explore more on the website yet, but as per OP they already have a community of +4400 members, so I pressume that it's already an established one as new platform does not easily get that big numbers.

I guess this is a new approach that @OP is trying to develop. Instead of testing his level of addiction, we will be asked to test his level of happiness. And I tried the test to see what my level of happiness was.

But unfortunately, we have to register first to see the results. Maybe later, I will decide to register. But I think I can still handle gambling well so I'm not a serious gambling addict.

Thanks for sharing it with us @OP. Hopefully, your site can help people reduce their gambling addiction. They can use your site well and it can provide benefits for them.

That's what I'm thinking too, but for now I'm still observing, though I like the motive intention of the platform. I hope this will help crypto gamblers in this field of business anyway.

Then it's okay; maybe even if we're not in a situation where we already have an addiction, we can still be part of their goal, right? What is the real intention of the owner of the platform that we are talking about?

I just do not understand how a website may help you get rid of a gambling addiction. The people who are addicted to gambling, I am sure their family and friends must have asked to stop the gambling frequency. The people near the gambling addcited must have tried to stop the person from addiction but to no avail. So how come a text website will be able to help get rid of gambling addiction???

Anyways the first thing, they ask you is to have a happiness test. Has anyone given that test? I haven't tried it because it asks for an email address where they will send the result of this test and I am not comfortable given my email address on sites unknown to me.

The same way a psychology's website would help you with depression or other mental illnesses. Its purpose is to provide information on some basic guidelines to acknowledge your addiction and start receiving help, where to look, and so on. This website is unable to make you quit, just like any mental health website is not capable of treating your mental illness. You need professional help from a psychologist to stop any kind of addiction; I don't think someone is capable of managing it on their own. It's not shameful to ask for help, as long as you acknowledge the issue and proceed to receive assistance.

I'm also curious on what kind of insight the happiness text provides, but I'm not willing to put my email or bother investigating any further, the questions are pretty basic and vague, they need to be reconsidered.

Yep, it depends on the owner who create this site too.

If they're someone who really hate gambling because it's bad, forbidden by many countries and religion, there's no problem to use quitgamble domain.

But if they're someone who being neutral or even support gambling, they should use a better domain e.g. gamblehelp, gambleguide, gamblecontrol, stopaddiction etc.

What I see the domain and content are contradicts each other.

Hi Everyone!
I wanted to share a project that I've been part of. 5 years ago, I changed course from being a casino affiliate to working with problem gambling. It's been a project full of challenges, happiness, tears, and fighting. I wanted to do something different, and I saw how many people struggle.

QuitGamble.com is an online platform and mobile app to help people with gambling problems. The platform is free to use, and members get access to:

Video Courses
Extensive Guides
A community with +4400 members
Chat, Forum and Support Groups
Mobile App

Everything on QuitGamble.com is built from a problem gambler's perspective. We don't talk about responsible gambling, which many other organizations who claim to work with problem gambling do. For us, there is no such thing as RG for someone with gambling problems. (Who would write about responsible drinking on a page for alcoholics?)

The website is available in English, Spanish, Swedish, and soon French and Portuguese.

If you're curious about our project, please feel free to reach out. I would be happy to receive any feedback, both positive and negative. If you have a gambling problem, I would recommend you take a look at our how to stop gambling addiction guide. It's a step-by-step process that will put you on a new track.

Have a super day, everyone!

/Anders

Sincerely, I looked over the platform and found that the goals are commendable. Others believe it is inconceivable that you could demonstrate, in any way, using this platform, what can be done when one is addicted to gambling.

Additionally, it appears that the platform's theme is sound, and it is open to hearing about any and all stories from gamblers in the cryptocurrency area; it appears that they wish to be involved in it in some way.

I’m not sure about this but probably the catch is the potential donation for those who will be helped by this service or some purchasable materials that gives more detailed approach to solving the addiction problem.

Donations aren't a bad thing, I do think that if we want this kind of charity to keep serving more people and help more people recover from their gambling addiction, I do think that donations shouldn't be a thing that we should be too penny pinching about because that's the only way they can keep their service going and it's not like most of them are subsidized or helped by the government. To be fair to the donators though, it's important that any charity should have a transparent auditing of all the donations that goes through their organization so people will be more encouraged in donating to whatever cause they're trying to act upon.

Quote from: Wapfika on November 05, 2023, 06:03:32 AM

I hope that I will NOT use this someday but it’s really nice to have this kind of service available on gambling board of the forum since I’m almost become like this on my previous gambling activity. Cheesy

I'll hope with you too that me and you won't have to use this to solve our gambling addiction but I think it's not a good thing for us to say that it's not for us, these kinds of organization are the kind that looks like you don't need but when you need them the most, you'll be looking for them. Kindd of like paper clips or any other small negligible stuff in your office or home, you see it everyday but you won't see one when you finally need them.

Leading Crypto Sports Betting & Casino Platform

This is probably the best resource when it comes to controlling, and curing gambling addiction, that I stumble I'm surprised that it was not posted here in the past when we have so many members asking about how to cure and manage gambling addiction, so the next time someone here ask about managing and how to get help from their addiction I will likely recommend this website.

One interesting about this platform is its founder and creator page, it details what the site is all about and it also has a yearly roadmap, this platform is a work in progress I'm sure its a big help for the gambling community

I just read the whole thing about how to stop gambling by following a few steps and it's good that everything is written in detail and also added a video as a sweetener, but I don't care whether this can help addicted and problem gamblers or not, what is clear is your goal in introducing the site You are on this forum to help gambling addicts and problem gamblers, which is very good because to be honest, we don't see many sites like this, let alone providing help for free.

I would love to see how your site works fully and I would like to see many more positive feedbacks about the services you provide to gambling addicts, I will wait for some of the community from this forum who feel they are gambling addicts or have problems in gambling, will they try your site and succeed with the services you provide. Btw welcome to the forum

This is free, as you mentioned, so I'm curious about its effectiveness. Gambling addiction is a serious issue and often requires expensive sessions to address. I appreciate the effort, though. I'll explore your website to gather more information, but I don't need help right now. Hopefully, I won't need it in the future.

I guess it's really up to the individual itself whether he wanted to quit or believed in this kind of services to help him out of his gambling addiction. But yeah, obviously we really like this kind of efforts from members here and we can only wish that those who are addicted right now and will reach out to them for help. And so there will be success stories specially if it will come from a forum members.

I did a quick look at the website and found a few guides and posts containing the symptoms of a gambling addiction, statistics, some general information, a few blog spots, and a happiness test, which is pretty vague and asks only a handful of questions, which are not enough to draw a conclusion.

In general, the website has useful information but certainly requires more tests, questionnaires, and content.

The site is intended to assist people who are addicted to gambling, with all the adverse effects an addiction can cause, let alone with gambling, which usually involves large amounts of money that can be disastrous for an individual. It doesn't blame gambling as an activity, but the addiction to it, just like any other addiction, is harmful.

Quote from: Oshosondy on November 05, 2023, 03:59:42 AM

You have not checked the site and you make conclusion. I only read the introductory path which has no complete information and I may not be exactly be correct either. The introductory path does not talk about quitting though.

People that want people to quit addiction want addicted people to stop doing that thing that makes them addicted, like to stop smoking or gambling. It is better to stop than to continue to be addicted.

I skim through the site and the method for solving addiction is to attack the "pain" which causes a person to gamble in the first place. The less you feel the "pain" then the less likely one to gamble and be addicted to it. It's a personal development in a way with a specific purpose so I guess that's not a bad way to approach it.

Thank you for sharing this with us, but why now only, you mentioned that you were part of this 5 years ago, but it's still good that you've found the time to share this, the courses and all the information are free because they rely on donations and one of their donators happens to be Great.com an affiliate company which donates €25,000.

Gambling addiction has been one of the main problems and issues in countries where online casinos are accessible and the site is such a big help for those who are struggling to cope with addiction, it's good that they've got sponsors so they can offer all materials free and for maintenance of the platform, I hope they will find more sponsors so they can continue helping more gamblers who have issues with addiction.

I remember, there's one thread here asking how to avoid addiction where you don't need to spend money or at least the cheaper alternatives.
Maybe some users can find this site useful or remind them on how to fall from the trap of gambling addiction.

Too much of everything is bad, but being in control of whatever you are doing keeps you on the right track, and no one will criticise you for that. Unless those who have already made up their minds see such activity as bad, there is no point in stopping gambling.

If you can learn how to come out of the addiction page, then there is no problem with continuing to gamble. That's only if you are sure you can't go back there. The main reason why people are advised to leave whatever they get addicted to entirely is because there is no guarantee that, at the end of the day, they won't get addicted again.
