Apart from independent providers, any problem gamblers should also look into counselling services provided by their local governments.
I honestly do think that the main catalyst for problem gambling is simply the attitude, though.
People seem to think that gambling is a way to make money when in reality it's just a form of entertainment. Allocate a fixed amount of money each time you gamble, and consider it gone before you start. If your mindset is stuck in the former then you're much more prone to becoming addicted.

What the girl has been experiencing is true addiction. This is out of greed, but in most of the gamblers addiction happens as a result of trying to recover the loss. Here this girl is lucky, but the greed has made her get addicted. Myself an addict keeps losing and to recover the loss I used to borrow and gamble. Now my life has turned to be a question mark ?
There's a lot that popped when you google search it, a few of them are these.

Most online casinos have self-exclusion programs. You simply need to contact their support team and tell them about your gambling problems. They will deactivate your account for six months or any period you agree on and they may even guide you on how to get proper help.
There are also many websites you can visit to get assistance and support such as: https://www.gamcare.org.uk/
You can also look for support groups near you and join them.

Sir, I don' think it will work, yes they can exclude you but that doesn't mean you cannot register again using a new account or you can just go to other gambling sites register and continue playing, we need to address the symptoms not restriction to a gambling site, a compulsive gambler will always find a way, and will always try to cheat himself to play.

Hello
So I was going through a story of a girl who literally stole 70,000 Euros to Gamble apparently it all started when she invested 20 Euro and won a thousand and since then she became addicted to easy money.
It made me realize that every now and then there is someone here sharing their addiction stories and it might help to have a particular thread for them to keep all the sources which could help them get their life straight again..

She is lucky to win thousands of dollars on a $20 investment on her first online venture, but with no one to guide her or not properly educated on the risk of gambling that was such a bad start, she thinks that she has what it takes to win more and if she losses, she thinks that she can come back and recover all her losses, which we all know is bad thinking and denial for compulsive gamblers, she really needs all the help that she could get, we also have a local Gambling Helpline, I guess all country where gambling is legal have one, they just have to Google it many of them have their own website for easy reach.
If you are there in gambling addiction, it is really hard to cure this kind of mental illness. Mental health disorder towards gambling needs to cure under an inpatient rehabilitation program or a residential treatment program and you must undergo with psychotherapy or cognitive behavioral therapy, treating yourself from being addictive is very challenging and you will fight it, the depression and anxiety will become your life change and if you will not overcome with it, it could destroy yourself.
In your local hospital, there will be a psychiatrist, psychologist, addiction counselor, or other mental health professionals that could you to fix your problem.

You are literally reading my mind! Good for you to create this thread. I just recently had a thought: there are so many people with gambling addiction, and some portion of them are on this forum, creating threads and sharing their problems. But the thing is when a gambling addict is sharing a problem everyone just keeps saying "you need professional help, go get help, you're addicted", but no one actually gives sound advice as to where to get this help, which forms of treatment are effective, etc.
You've shared some good sources on Gambling Helplines and Anonymous clubs, I think these might be helpful.
To that, I can add a link to a guide with a very in-depth look into the gambling addiction problem, especially the reasons for it, good tips and advice, and it also contains many sources to some popular techniques.
However, looking deeply into this problem I can see that stress-relieving methods and psychotherapy sessions may not be enough in severe cases. In such cases, I believe, only medical intervention can help. I've found a study, which, contrary to many beliefs, shows that medical help can have a positive effect. In particular, such substances as naltrexone and memantine can be used for different types of gambling addiction.
More info regarding these medications for gambling addiction is behind the links:
Naltrexone - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6426388/
Memantine - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3465841/
