緊急に助けが必要です

Hello folks,

Please take a few minutes, I can imagine that some of you have the same thoughts as me and maybe we can even help each other.

Unfortunately, I have registered at all kinds of online casinos over the last few months, both legal and illegal.

The free play offers are usually very good and I think some people know what it's like to want to play somewhere even though you don't have any money.

I've already registered on my phone using the Gamban app (I can highly recommend it) but unfortunately I still have a laptop and as soon as I consume something (alcohol and this) I have to play.

My question now is, if I delete all email accounts and get a new cell phone number, will my profiles with the providers be deleted at some point?

Or do I have to contact each provider by email?

Or does anyone know an app that can do that?

I'm currently writing my heart out because I'm disappointed in myself again and want to get all of this out of my life as quickly as possible.

And I can imagine that I won't be able to manage it again, because it certainly won't happen overnight and then you can play here and there again...

They already have the data anyway, unfortunately in such moments no one pays attention to right or wrong.

But I don't want to receive any more emails or messages from this horrible industry and would prefer to delete it from my life immediately.

I hope we can talk about it a little bit.

Or there is even someone who has already been through all this and would like to report on it.

I am already receiving medical treatment, but as I said, as soon as I consume drugs (which I unfortunately still need at the moment) the switch in my head switches.

I send you lots of love and look forward to your replies 🫶🏻

Hallo Leute,

bitte nehmt euch ein paar Minuten Zeit, ich kann mir vorstellen das der eine oder andere die selben Gedanken hat wie ich und vielleicht können wir uns sogar gegenseitig helfen.

Ich habe mich in den letzen Monaten leider in sämtlichen Online Casinos angemeldet, legal und nicht legal.

Die Freispiel Angebote sind meinst sehr gut und ich denke manche kennen es wenn man trotz keinen Geld irgendwo spielen will.

Ich habe mich bereits am Handy über die App Gamban (kann ich sehr empfehlen) aber leider besitze ich noch einen Laptop und sobald ich was Konsumiere (Alkohol und dies das) muss ich spielen.

Meine Frage ist jetzt, wenn ich alles Mail Accounts lösche und mir eine neue Handynummer zulege werden dann irgendwann meine Profile bei den Anbietern gelöscht?

Oder muss ich mit jedem Anbieter per Mail Kontakt aufnehmen?

Oder kenn vielleicht irgendjemand eine App die das machen kann quasi?

Ich schreibe mir gerade die Seele vom Leib weil ich schon wieder von mir selbst enttäuscht bin und das alles so schnell wie möglich aus meinen Leben haben will.

Und ich kann mir vorstellen das ich es dann wieder nicht auf die Reihe bekomme, weil das so sicher nicht von heute auf morgen klappt und man dann ja wieder hier und dort spielen kann..

Die Daten haben sie ja eh schon, leider gibt man in solchen Momenten keine acht auf richtig oder falsch.

Aber ich möchte keine Mails oder Nachrichten mehr von dieser schrecklichen Industrie bekommen und es am liebsten sofort aus meinen Leben löschen.

Ich hoffe wir können uns ein bisschen darüber unterhalten.

Oder es gibt sogar jemanden der das alles schon durch hat und darüber berichten möchte.

In ärztlicher Behandlung bin ich schon, aber wie gesagt sobald ich Rauschmittel konsumiere (die ich leider Momentan noch brauche) schaltet der Schalter in meinen Kopf um..

Ich sende euch viel Liebe und freue mich schon auf Antworten 🫶🏻

Hi 👋 😊

Addiction of any kind is classified as an illness and the desire to beat it is a positive step but I think you should seek help from professionals in the field of drug and gambling addiction to help you control and beat it but it's not easy. I in my time have been involved in drugs but nothing has been as hard to give up than the need to gamble which I continue to do even though I'm 20yrs alcohol and drug free. I'm retired and have to much time and when the rushee feeling to gamble on slots plays on my mind I find it hard to resist and for you it appears to be the same except you do it when under the influence of substances. The online casinos use every type of psychological trick to keep you hooked and the only way to beat it is to rewire your brain to control and beat the urge to gamble. It's all very well getting rid of your emails and phone if you think that will stop you signing up again when under the influence as you said you do. Like I said seek professional help if you really want to quit, they may suggest just getting a basic phone with calls and texts only and your computer to remove access to the internet. It's harsh but it depends on how determined you are to give up for good. You can do it!! 👍😁 but please seek help if you are serious about quitting because they understand the problems you face and have mind tools to help it be achievable for you. Good luck with your quest to quit when I think of the money I have lost playing slots because the reason there are so many online casinos is because your chances of winning are very slim 😫 keep this in mind.

Hi there!

I will prioritize the most important issues in such a regrettable situation.

It is fantastic that you signed up with Gamban and had the resolve to lessen the harm caused by gambling! Every effort you put forth is a result of your willingness not to give up.

As per our current discussions and observations, it appears that removing your phone numbers or email addresses from the casino's contact lists is not a simple process. As per the GDPR, casinos are required to guarantee that you will not be bothered by gambling offers after you close your account. Quite frankly, shady or untrustworthy casinos probably do not care. As a result, I believe it would be safer for you to switch the phone number and give up the emails you used to register at casinos.

Unfortunately, this is only a short-term fix. It might be better to set up a different email account that you would use in case your urge to gamble reappears. In an attempt to avoid being inundated with spam via numerous other email clients. I imagine this is not an easy task. Please consider that to be only advice.

Finding enough things to keep you busy is, as far as I can tell, both the hardest and the most beneficial part. Maybe a close friend or relative could assist you with that. You should make a new user profile for your tablet, PC, or notebook that is designated as a child profile. The operating system should be used to set all content restrictions, block all websites save for YouTube, Netflix, HBO, and any other safe-use apps, and lock out of the profile you are currently using on your laptop or PC. To set or modify the password and to keep it secure in case of emergency, ask a reliable person to help you with that.

Instead of playing in a casino, you might also try playing in fun mode; while this is not always effective, it can temporarily reduce your stress. Here are some free casino games to play:

Get engaged with others by browsing the responsible gambling section, if you feel like talking to others helps you stay stable. No need to do so if you don't want to.

I wish you to overcome it all!

Hey Julia,

First thing I will say is well done you. For speaking up and admitting that you have a problem with gambling.

That is the hardest thing to admit to.

The next step is to distance yourself as much as possible from gambling sites. You mentioned you have blockers on your phone. A good option for the laptop is Betfilter. This helped me out massively when I was in the depths of my addiction. It isn’t free, but is definitely worth the expense because the amount of money you will save by not gambling will pay for it multiple times over.

You can delete your email address and set up a new one. Unfortunately this won’t stop the gambling sites from sending you mail to your old address. You need to contact them all and request the maximum self exclusion period and you must state that you have issues with gambling. This will block your access.

The best advice I can give you is to not focus on why you keep losing control and gambling away your money, but to focus on not doing it moving forward.

It is a very difficult thing to beat, but it is possible. I know this from my own battle with the disease.

There is no magic cure, but with time and focus you can do it also.

Please do keep posting and update us on your progress.

Stay safe.

Charlie ❤️
