What about seeking professional help? I can guarantee that there are people who've tried all your suggestions, yet they're unable to quit gambling.
Some people really have no other option than go into therapy to quit their addictions, whether it's gambling, drugs or anything else.
I would also suggest adding some resources, so people can look into finding professional help.

Great points but when it comes to never try again it is the most difficult part for a gambler. It is because when you think you can control yourself , you also say to yourself I am not addicted anymore I can just play a bit for fun and that is the exact point when you restart playing with addiction. Many have tried, very few have succeeded. Your points are great as a beginning.
Quitting is easy if you want to achieve something, but never easy if you want to stop doing what you always do and what you always wanted to do. This is what you called addiction, and we all know that its really hard to over come. Is this the end? Is there any cure? Let me help you.
1.) if you really want to quit, you should WANT it. You should be serious about it and not play around. Most people failed to change because they didnt take quitting seriously.
2.) Have a stone hard mindset. Picture yourself to the person you want to be. The old person who doesnt need that things in order to be happy. Always think about the future results you will become.
3.) Be faithful on what you are doing. Cheating is not an option. Dont be fooled on peer pressure or the callings of slot machine. Learn how to have self dicipline. Focus on your goal and have a blindfold if needed.
4.) If you already strengthen your inner self, the next steps is already easy for you. You see, yourself is the best enemy you have and we should start changing you by the way you think. Next is, have other things to do that can make you busy. Start trading or having new business. You will soon realize that the essense of the money you lost in gambling.
5.) never to try it again. People are also malleable in nature and even you didnt do it for years, once you tasted it again, you will turn back to the same addict person you want to get rid of. We have a deep caravings for it psychologically or what you called cravings by our subconscious minds that once triggered, can never be stopped.
Lastly, give me merits if this tips help you. Nah. Just kidding. I just want to write a book someday and i need some inspiration. Gambling is fun though.
