Topic: QuitGamble.com - Free Help for Problem Gamblers - page 9. (Read 3829 times)

Not a bad idea. The first thing that comes to mind is that when something is "free" the product is "you" - the user. But still, it is great to have so many resources in one place, in fact it may become a bit overwhelming and it might be useful to have a one-pager for quick reference to those that might benefit from it. Also "quit gamble" is not really what most people would want... you know, is not crack or smoking.... most would want to "control gambling".

Well, when there is some suspicion about the player who is being added, the first thing you have to do is figure out how they can attack the problem. It is obvious that it also takes a lot of courage on the part of the person affected to accept something like that, because it is not easy, For me, in particular, it will always give me a lot to help people with words, since I see them in that way, because it is something that can affect a lot, I could say that a person who accepts that he is addicted and that he would like to be helped and that gives Just enough to think about, because the fact of attacking the problem quickly means that many things that come later will be avoided, because problems, things that happen within the person's environment that are negative, all this is what makes the eprosans possible. They may fall into temptations that they should not, all this is valid as long as things are done well, some, those who can do things to generate a better cure, go to psychologists, who are specialized people who are able to deal with cases like these because it is the most is recommended.

In this order of ideas , we can talk about the fact that there are many ways that things can be Avoided in games, and it is not only addiction that can be avoided, but also some players who are affected by other things that Cause problems , like alcohol , well. It is also necessary that you check yourself before going to a place, that is, if you have a bad drink, do not drink while playing in a casino, because it is a very bad food, if you have a bad drink, do not drive the car, in fact if a person It is a bad drink, because he should not do it when he goes out on the street so that he does not have unpleasant situations for that person and those who at that time do not meet him , because things can turn out to be very ugly, some people do not accept that an eprosna that is past drinks because it is not right at all and they can achieve it , there have even been cases where they Even kill people like that.

i think what he meant here is that if online gambling will be banned or stopped, people will just go back to the traditional way of gambling which is land-based casinos. it is not that online gambling addicts after stopping their addiction, will go back to offline casinos.

but in any case, any vice is bad if you abuse them. if done in occasional basis, you would find that it is truly enjoyable as you will have the fun of your life.

moderation is needed to keep yourself in check of your habits. if you are feel you are heading to addiction, much better to pause for a while and give time yourself to contemplate on things and what you really want to do in life. sometimes, self-assessment from time to time will help you understand what's going on around you and yourself.

Self control would really be that different on each person when we do speak about levels and its true that discipline would be the key but eventually most people do fail on doing so. Why?
because they cant really just removed out gambling into their minds and doesnt realize on whats actually doing it into his/her life considering that he has been addicted into it.
 You wont really be putting up on so much trouble if you are really just that sensible on the things that you are doing. People would really be just having those realizations when it already too late
or the damage has been done already and this is why you should be thinking up fast before that happens.

We can only lecture peeps surrounding us but we cant make them act on it. If it was that easy then everyone would have gotten motivated with motivating speeches and podcasts but they dont. In reality motivation remains valid for only momentarily timeline. Once that person is out of that zone they no longer act on it. This requires restructuring of the lifestyle by going for another motivational therapy. That sucks.

Whenever it comes to gambling, only one thing can help them stay away from the addiction and thats: “discipline”.  Mark this word, it can help get out of the addiction problem real quick with streamlined gambling. This discipline could be as easy as following timelines, making routine checks on accounting, giving away games when losing and much more realistic checks in the list. So yeah, better follow a discipline rather than hoping a help from someone else.

Whether you have caught yourself getting addicted neither online or offline gambling and on the time that you had been able to experience those worst things then you would really be definitely be
trying out to avoid as much as you could once you had tasted up that unfortunate condition. People would usually be starting out to realize with those mistakes if they would really be able to experience those bitter things on which they would really be able to forget it out for the rest of their lives and they would really be avoiding things as much as they could. If ever they would really be going back
again into addiction just because of having no control then it would really be just that proving out that your addiction hadnt been wiped out yet or simply you are a type of person who doesnt really
learn from past mistakes.

Since the second part is fixed, let me be silent about it, but on the first part, before @Fivestar4everMVP ships in his valuable response, let me say there is a high probability that he is right. I said this because when something happens, you never can tell what the effect will entirely be. Most times too, the effect could be distributed, which is why I believe that he is right and you are also right to have the doubt about it. In gambling, if you look thoughtfully, you would realise that the most addicted nowadays are the ones who are gambling on the internet with their own gadget which is now the closest companion in the 21st century. This is possible because the more they are closer to their gadget, the more they feel that urge to open the app and gamble. This is not the same thing as a gambler who gambles often offline, that alone will limit him automatically.

And part of what will limit him is the proximity of the gambling house to his house or office, even the transport cost is enough to dissuade some people and convince them. This alone could practically help those who are gambling addicts to caution themselves when they vowed not to gamble through the internet again but through the gambling house only. As simple as it is, it will work for so many, though not for all since we have different strengths of mind and determination. Specifically, for someone like me, my yes is my yes, and the same as my no, and when I delete the app, I will not install it again. Under this, it will naturally reduce the gambling extent of the person and this is what I believe @Fivestar4everMVP is trying to point to in the first category. After all, if that could solve an issue that online gambling can't solve, many might resolve to it if need be.

Sorry, I don't understand what do you mean by that? You mean gambling addicts after undergoing a therapy start gambling in land-based casinos? Are there such cases? Because I think it's harder to get rid of internet gambling addiction, and people who are cured from it will not even think of going into land-based casinos.

I totally agree with the second part of your post though. It's not gambling itself that ruins people's lives, it's abusing it is what's bad.

The pitfall is gambling is addictive by nature. On the first hand, people may be seeking the fun of it, but if they are not doing it carefully, they might get addicted. It is easy to say that we only do it for fun or suggest others do the same, but each unique human being behaves differently when exposed to something. Some people may have high tolerance so they are unlikely to get addicted, but the opposites do happen.

So, rather than directing people to fixate only on playing it for fun, I'm sure the kind of platform that OP endorses is a good way to help those in need. There is no judgment but simply a helpful motive.

Exactly the point, you hit the nail on the head and that's very good, I would say that excessive gambling is an action just as you have stated, and addiction to gambling is the repercussion, or the result of the action, I think this is better than saying it's a state.

People work hard, and in return they make money, and or what ever they were working for, but it's not so with gambling, even though some gamblers mistakenly think along this line and apply this to their gambling, believing that gambling hard will help them win more money, gambling hard, or excessively gambling will only lead to gambling addiction, and even if the gambler made good money through excessive gambling, he or she will still lose is all back to the casino when addiction sets in.

This is why, we are advised to take gambling as a fun venture, rather than a money making venture, for he or she who gambles for fun will only do so when he or she feels like, and have money to spare.

Mate I will clear to you that even when you called them to make profit but remember that OP spend His own money for such a time now providing help for gambling addict so the initiative and effort itself shows we need not to care if he will make money or something because his doing is enough to call Him good Philanthropist and willing to spend before gaining .
it is rare to find those who really wanted to help addicted without looking for something in return , and instead of looking for anything  lets just spread this initiative of OP because we might know that one day our loveone will also  need this kind of help .

Excessive gambling and gambling addiction are directly related to each other because a person who gambles excessively will eventually become addicted to gambling as you said. So, these two shouldn't be two different things a person does because the first is an action, and the second is a state. A person who completes the action will reach the state someday. This is the reason why it's always recommended that a person shouldn't get engaged with excessive gambling.

An excessive or addicted gambler will never be able to do anything in their life unless or until they stop gambling or at least reduce their gambling activities to a large extent because when you are addicted to gambling, you don't realize how much time and money you are spending on it and only a second person can see you doing that.

Having these kind of doubts whenever we do see someone do have that kind of approach then it would really be that common that people would really be that dubtious on the things that they are dealing with.
Yes, there could be always some catch into the middle of that conversation because we do know that there's no such thing that could be free on this world. They wont really be offering something on which
they cant really be able to benefit considering that in every step that you are making or the hassle or the hard work that you do keep on talking on other people or offering some free service does really involved some effort and some spending on which it is really just that normal that you would really be that tending to try to utilize those things for you to make out some money later on.

We cant really be able to make some finalization that they would really be heading that way since there are really things which been announced to be completely free on which
they do really have that real approach or thing. So we cant make out some conclusion everytime.

We must take power or information imbalance into account, a small retail is obviously different from social media companies which hold and have many user data accounts, that include their own user's behavior and interests. Given that, the probability they manipulate effectively will surely be a contrast and distinct matter. It is not just a mere to attract users to use or buy products or services.

The choice to use or not to use is certainly given to the users, but digging deeper, a question arises whether they are aware of being "manipulated" or not. Or, Are they aware they are being heavily influenced or not. If we took the asymmetrical information and power to the matter, surely it is not a simple thing where everything is ethically just.

I like what you are doing OP, even while this problem can't always be solved you still come up with this idea to help others with their addiction, thanks for doing your best, gambling addiction can only be beaten by someone who desperately want to stop their gambling addiction.

Some people want to stop their addiction, but that dream is only for the day, when they take some time off they will feel like gambling again, the truth is your mind can't desire for two things at the same time, if you want a change you need to make up your mind.

The only way to beat addiction is by firstly making up your mind, give up on gambling and force yourself to like other things, I have seen people doing things to themselves to escape that dark desire of gambling, they want it gone by doing all the can, while some can't get over it and choose to take their own lives, it's all matter of choice, it's better to always choose the right choices.

I suspected this at first but I never saw it with my preliminary studies on the site. What breaks my heart the most online is what you just narrated, at times, I would believe that a site is so people and humanitarian inclined, but in the end, you would see them introducing some unexpected products/services to you. They just use the first opportunity of coming as an angel to get into you. To make it worse, the money to pay will not be such that is not so affordable, so why toying with people's emotions? It can be so annoying if you have been wasting hours reading their articles or watching their videos, and it will just be as if the person is hooked at one point. Out of no choice, at that point, many would still buy the products/services to try as they might have indeed entered their heads and manipulated them as you called it. But for me, I can never do that, I don't fall for cheap gimmicks like that whatsoever, but it instead annoys me. Even if I would have bought it if plainly and politely advertised, I wouldn't give it any shot again when it looks cunning to me.

Unless there is a command or law imposed by the regulatory board or authority, many casinos will not cooperate with this kind of theme.  This company aims to lessen the income of a casino by reminding everyone to be in control and avoid getting addicted to gambling.  Though some casinos are very responsible but many would like to increase their income by making player hooked on their platform.  Thus responsible gambling is counterproductive to what the many casinos wanted.  There may be some casinos that will cooperate but mostly will not.


Gambling casino is a business establishement, it is obvious that this platform wants more profit from their player.  This is also the reason why many gambling platform offer generous bonuses with wagering requirements in order to hype and get the interest of the player while making it hard for these players to withdraw the money.


There are indeed a good samaritan who volutarily reach out their hand to help people who are in need.  It maybe not in financial form but this kind of action helps way more than donations since giving suggestion and offering consultation is often what is needed by gambling addicts.

Too much of everything is bad, if we are a true gambler then we should try as much as possible to see that we help the upcoming gamblers to stay responsible and never get addicted because they needed direction at first, the we shouldn't be the ones to lay down bad example on them to make them learn what is not called for from us through how we are gambling, we must help in solving the problem and not contributing to it.

Maybe not all of them are interested and there could be a handful of them that want to give back to their customers by having such a theme. But it's true that not all of the casinos are going to cooperate with a service and work that will make people stop doing business with their casinos. They want people to engage on them because the more, the better and that means caching caching on them, more money.

Well, the irony is that many of them donate just to give back and for the good cause of other people's welfare. On the other hand, what you have said is true that they're becoming rich because of people the money that comes from their gambling business, and that happens when gamblers are losing.

There goes the cycle of who gets the benefit and who contributes a lot. But a good thing that if there are helps like this, they should be easily searched and taken away for a dial or chat because usually, addicted gamblers need someone to talk to instantly to help him change his mind if ever something bad is already circulating onto his head.

Everything which is excessive is never been good and this is something that you should really be that careful on what are the things and decisions that you would really be taking because one false move then you would really be compromising something important and this is something that you should really be having in mind always. Gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself that responsible on the actions that you are making.
Dont treat it as some sort of income maker or having that kind of profits on which it cant really be that possible or something ideal to be treated up that way. There would be no problems that would come into your life
if you do really just simply make yourself that sensible or responsible towards your actions.

For those people who individuals or groups on whose making or taking up some action on helping someone to get rid of addiction then it is really just that a good gesture but in the end of the day
on which people are  the ones who would really be making out such decision for themselves because we are the ones who do make out such decision and see on whats good and whats bad.
This is why it would be always right that we should be doing on what are the things that would be good for us and not something that could put us up on harm.
