Others might not appreciate this type of help that you're doing but you're doing something that will help those that are in dire need of being an addicted gambler.

It's all for free and they will have someone to talk to if they want to at least on chat to maintain their anonymity because most of these gamblers don't want to let others know who they are.

@OP, you're doing a good job with this advocacy. Because in a business perspective, those startups that might have come up with something like this. There is for sure going to be a stream of making money but yours is free and hopefully you'll maintain that continuously and you've got a nice domain, I wonder how much you have acquired it.

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.

A community with +4400 members
I think they are quite experienced if their members are that much, and many methods have been applied to various people's characters with gambling addiction, but indeed we do not see statistical data on how effective this platform is in dealing with gambling problems.
But if for example you want to deal with your gambling problem, you should try it yourself and see how much the impact on you yourself sir.

This is certainly a good opportunity because there are those who provide a platform to solve your gambling problem online and also free, I see the concern of developers here for people who have problems in gambling, if they do this program on a sustainable manner, that is a noble thing.
For whatever options that are currently existing then it would really be just that ideal that you should really be making use of it if you do find your own method or choices doesnt work.
Why would people  do really love on having those kind of judgment in speaking about services offered? Its true that it would really vary on a certain individual about on how things should really be done.
We know that gambling addiction is really that something a very tough problem that cant be easily be resolved out by any app or platforms or counselling or advises or whatsoever.
It would really be that always falls down on someones will and dedication if they would really be that deciding on quitting or else there's no thing on this world that would
really be that something effective but rather it would really be always starting on your own self thought.

In everything that has an advantage, there is always a disadvantage. One can always choose to be on the positive side and continue to gamble responsibly, which will also contribute to his mental growth. Those who choose to turn their gambling life into a hobby instead of doing it for fun are chasing after big wins, which leads them right into getting addicted. Those kinds of people are the reason why most people see gambling as a bad influence.
It's barely possible to make an addicted gambler become a responsible gambler because it's not in their nature to be responsible or disciplined which is the reason why they became addicted to gambling in the first place. And, someone who is a responsible gambler doesn't have gambling problems because problems arise when a person gets heavily addicted and starts spending all their time and money on gambling and has no consciousness for any other thing in their lives.

I think the initiative OP has started is great if it turns out to be effective for gamblers who acknowledge the fact that they are facing problems and want to get out of their addiction. I'm not an addicted gambler, but it will be nice to see an addicted gambler try out the platform and then write feedback about the changes they can see in their life.

Be nice!
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.
I also did the happiness test and actually you can receive the results without registering on the website as it will be sent to your email. I received mine a few minutes after submitting my entry and it came back positive.

It's a great platform. I haven't fully check everything but upon visiting the website, it's user friendly and with just few reading, you'll be inspire to quit gambling with the quotes they have. I'm not really into book reading and watching videos and if I was still addicted to gambling, those may have not help me (doesn't mean it won't help others) but having short quotes, and a community to speak with will help a lot for those gamblers who wanted to quit. The only thing I'm searching was if there's any audibles that we can listen to which would be a great addition to the platform.

I changed course from being a casino affiliate to working with problem gambling

Can I ask what made you make that change?

You can find the answer here

https://quitgamble.com/about-us/ From this page you can read the mission, the vision, and  Anders Bergman
Founder of QuitGamble.com, I think they should make the About Us page visible on their homepage, people will ask for information about the site and its founder and it should be easily accessible.

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.
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.

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

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.
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.

I just do not understand how a website may help you get rid of a gambling addiction.

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.
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.
