The domain is still on same via namecheap. Are you sure that posted the correct website? At least check the URL you are sharing before you create an announcement here since the link just lead to empty website.

I like the idea of support group to fight gambling addiction though. Just fix it and share here.

Online gambling de-addiction centers never work with a gambling addict. If you want to really help someone with this addiction then start a center and focus on your local area or start a call centre where an addicted individual can talk to a trained professional. Such initiative like yours are a failure as per the reports that I have read.

I don't see anything new or revolutionary that your platform can offer, only simple advice and the truth about gambling and casinos, something that this section already explore by members, the platform is only 8 days old its better that you add unique content that visitors will find interesting.

Like different kind of gamblers and methods that people can use to stop addiction, the name of the domain is good but it did not live up to expectation based on the content of the platform.

There has been an increase in gambling operations since covid-19 pandemic which has led to an increase in the number of gamblers. This is why we need an increase in awareness and guidance services. I will be pleased to refer people to your website if I find it worthy. Learning from other people's stories is a good way to educate individuals. I just hope the identity of visitors will be kept secret as promised.   


I just checked and the website is not valid. Please verify the website and repost the correct link.

Can you try from another browser? I think it's caused by cookies.

I am not sure what browser Zlantann is using but I am, using Chrome right now and on my end, it says "This page isn’t working www.byegambling.com redirected you too many times.".

I tried it on Duckduckgo and this is what it shows me(image below). I also checked it on Microsoft Edge, and Tor, and they all show the same thing. as for the Opera browser, it shows that "your connection is not private"

I am unable to access the website, I have tested it in 2 different browsers and I see the following:

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/08/20/7j9bN.png

Even though I can't access the site, I can say that the site will not help someone who is addicted to gambling. When a person is in the stage of being addicted to gambling, that person urgently needs to stay away from any means that allows him to access the internet and any gambling site, and this site is something that needs the internet to be accessed, it needs some device that accesses the internet. So when the addict enters this site he will also enter the gambling site. As a consequence, the addicted person will not be cured of the addiction. If a person wants to be cured of the addiction, he needs to seek help in the real world and stay away from anything that enters the internet for many years. If the person plays in the physical casino then he also needs to move to a place very far away from all physical casinos.

I usually do not click on hyperlinks shared here in the forum by a newbie account or account which do not have a long story behind them,.but since we are talking such an important issue here I had to make an exception and check your website out.
First of all, I read the introduction, there is no much to highlight there, the besign is basic the logo of your website also needs some improvement if you have intentions to keep it, something more original and worked.
After reading the introduction to your website I then took a look to the stories section of it and to my surprise there was no stories there to read, so clearly this is a project which is far newer than I initially thought.

I understand you are coming to this forum seeking for traffick for your website and you may have wholeheartedly intentions to help people out with their addiction, but if you offer something which is still in development and lacks information and techniques for people to learn how to control themselves, you will only make them feel disappointed. 
There are many communities which are dedicated to help with problem gambling, if you want to start your own, you should look at what makes others to thrive and be successful on helping people to feel hope again.

Indeed, the initiative may seem good at first glance, especially since the domain name is attractive, but after examining a little about the feasibility of such an application, I do not see what really distinguishes it if we compare it to any discussion on different forums. There are many sub-reddits on the Reddit website that can perform the same function and achieve better results if the main goal is to display people's experiences with addiction. All social networking applications perform the same function and I am sure that there are groups here and there where constructive discussions take place to raise awareness of the dangers of gambling addiction and guide those who want to get out of it.

The site also requires registering an account and I do not know if any visitor can view the content without registering an account. I wonder about the utilitarian purpose of the site for the work team (administration and moderators) and whether fees will be applied later on certain features or the field will be made available to advertisers.
I think that it would have been more useful to launch a forum directed at the topic of "gambling addiction" and work in the initial period on adding useful content that attracts readers.

How do you plan on running the site? Is it just going to be a site filled with story or a community for people to discuss?

And also I went to the site and it seems like it’s not yet ready since there are no stories yet and nothing is yet working on the website - it would have been better if you had some functionality so that people will know what to expect in the future when you start further development of the site.

Concerning the usefulness of the site - I’ll just let you know that the percentage of people who have actually used online gambling addiction help centers and got better are really small, gambling is not something you can just read someone else’s story and then decide to stop - if it was this easy they won’t have had the issue in the first place, it going to need more than just being educated on the dangers associated with it the need for regular checkup is very important knowing how they are doing and how they have improved and what they are feeling and I’m sure you won’t be able to get that from a site - but still it’s not a bad idea, let’s just see how yours develops and contribute to the gambling industry.

I think our platform is actually the first step for someone addicted to gambling.
No website can help a gambling addict right now, our aim is to take it to the first stage.

We also have detailed sharing in the suggestions section. Make sure you check everything.

Also our platform is new and no one has shared stories yet. If you have a story about how you struggled with gambling addiction, we can support you by sharing it.
One does not need to be a register to see this.

Now that I have been able to access your website and read all the content on your website, I see that your website advocates that people should not gamble, that is, your case is in favor of banning all casinos and gambling in the world and that only in this way will people not become addicted to gambling. But this idea will not prevent people from becoming addicted to other things and we also cannot think that all people who gamble are addicted to gambling. There are people who have been involved with gambling for many years, but are not addicted. For example, I have been playing for entertainment for years. I do not play frequently and I do not even play with a lot of money. I have always played with little money and only with money that I can afford to lose.

I did not say that all casinos should be banned. If you eat too much ice cream, it may a cold. But this is a risk, not everyone may catch a cold, but ultimately the possibility exists.

We are all addicts, the only difference is that someone knows how to control that addiction, and how much money and time he spends on it, or he is an addict without any control... that is the path to destruction. I believe that everything is within us, if someone really wants to end something, he can do it. He just needs to find some other activity that will take his mind off gambling, I think that every person is capable of that change.

But some people need help and support when it comes to things like this. It's nice to see someone who is ready to selflessly help others, I hope you will be successful in that... in addition to suggestions and stories, I think you should add human contact, some chat for people who decide to stop gambling but can't do it alone. Talking and honestly opening up to someone who understands you is completely different and can have much more positive effects than just reading stories and suggestions.

people can share their gambling experiences and other people can reply. Everything is anonym

What I get from your site is more of a public forum for addicts to share their stories and warnings/advice about gambling. Ig the warnings serve enough as a sign for most newbies but well, for existing ones it's just a bunch of gibberish. I'd much rather prefer you talk about controlling addiction itself so that you don't fall too deep into the pit. Maybe grab some stories from other forums and post it as a daily featured thread or something as well? Just so that the site doesn't seem so barren for now since you don't have any posts yet.

One other thing is maybe to make sharing stories possible anonymously? Or just without registration. Seems like a pain in the ass to do ngl, especially since I don't see any reason why I should even let the site have my email info.

we will add more applications.

I don't want email confirmation, Just enter a random email.

Gambling addiction have been one virus that have destroyed alot of reputations in the past and present time and this can be traceable to indecipline in the part of the gambler that eventually becomes addicted because at some point, he should have seen some sign and withdrew back at least a bit.

To that, fighting addiction also will be an individual fight although the possibility of external help is there to help the addict to over the power holding them down, but he, or she need to be determined to be able to make such a decision to quick by all means.

I just opened your website and already found a user that talk about gambling addiction

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/08/21/71l5g.png (https://www.talkimg.com/image/71l5g)

So it basically a site to share a story with other right like Church story? I mean I like the idea but is your site only act as a middleman or forum or you add something else.

I like the idea to fight gambling addiction because we know that dealing with gambling addiction is not easy. We must have a strong will to change and cure our gambling addiction. If we have that strong will and help from our family, we can do that and will pass the hard situation.

Yes, you need to add more things and application so that can attracts more people to comes and share what they know. If people find your site is useful for them, they will use that and cure their gambling addiction.

When I clicked on the Suggestion and clicked the Read More, the page is not show the article but it redirected to other page. You need to fix this on every suggestions and add more suggestion to your page. It will be nice if your site is ready at the right time so many people will share they knowledge to helps other people.

That’s a great initiative mate. But what concerns me is that the addicts knowingly won’t visit the site. They are so addicted to gambling that, they won’t take this good step to get help. If there was some section in the site where the family member of the addicts can visit and get help for their family members, then it would have been better. I liked the fact that you guys support multiple languages on the website. Upon further checking, I found that some are not manually translated and directed the google translated version is shown in the site. Please work on this and you are good to go.

I would say that it is an initiative that is not bad, as long as they keep improving.


Better use deepl.com, which is better than google translate, or even gpt chat, it is better than translators. Unless you find people who want to do or proofread the work for free. In the forum there is an alliance of translators (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5442314.0), I don't know if they would help, since it is for a good cause.

Are you the official representative of this gambling site?

Upon checking ? I find nothing new in your site but just another one that tries to show people their concern in gamblers but surely in the future the motive will reveal .

we are not sure if those who posted are true story or just another site provided story .

We can't be sure, but on the one hand I would like to point out that the vast majority of gamblers don't end up like the one in this story, fortunately, but on the other hand, whether this particular story is true or not, there are cases like this one that do happen, and that's why I think the creation of this site and everything that contributes to raising awareness is positive.

The big problem for those who do not control their gambling behaviour is that they can lose a fortune in a very short time. They can squander an entire patrimony in no time, and even go into debt.

So simply it’s like Bitcointalk forum that is just dedicated for gambling purposes. The UI/UX is still not that good since it looks like an outdated version website. Using the forum gambling discussion board itself or the reddit section for gambling addiction channel is much better than using your current version of website.

I think you should work on its appearance to make it pleasing to use for readers and sharers of their stories. Nevertheless your intention is good since gambling addiction is already increasing due to the popularity of online casino.

That's ok, other people should be able to respond to a post and give their input and support. But talking live with someone who has understanding and compassion is something else entirely, and that's what will mean so much more to someone struggling with their demons.

24/7 live support can make a difference and really help someone. It may be difficult to do, it requires more people and full time, and if you really want your site to mean something to people, I doubt that without it people will come to your site, and even more difficult that without it you will be able to keep them there on the site and provide them what they need to fight their gambling addiction.

First and foremost, a warm welcome to the forum, but I am curious to know more on exactly how just sharing ones gambling experiences as an addict help that person become free from gambling addiction.

I mean, I understand that addicts coming together to share their experiences, and what each one is possibly doing to become free from the addiction, can indeed inspire and motivate each one of them in their quest to become addict free, but this can only be effective for gamblers who are not yet deeply addicted to gambling.
Gamblers who have become so used to gambling might need a stronger measures to ensure or guarantee their becoming free, and this where I want to ask if there are other stronger and stricter measures or tasks that gamblers can be asked to go through as a means to try to break them away from gambling?

First, read the homepage, and then visit the "Suggestions" section. When you find the content that suits you best, click the 'Read More' button to learn more.

I find it ironic that you and your team are advertising an anti-gambling site in the gambling board of this forum. Anyway, I checked it out and the default language should be set to English(Not Hindi).

Also, the site itself simply offers some common advice which some posters above pointed out already which is why I don't really see the need for it.

Why is the title "byegambling"? Isn't it possible to stop addiction but still be able to gamble? Anyway, I think this is a great initiative for gamblers, but honestly, I don’t think it will help a lot of addicted gamblers. In my opinion, what they need is face-to-face interaction with experts who can help them heal from their problem.

How about in the forum? I think we can also share anonymously here.

Thanks very much for the heads-up, I admit I have actually visited the site before posting my comment, but the comment was not about what information is available on your site, but completely centered on the information you provided in the op as it concerns your services.

Anyways, I will do well to check out the site, catch up on some the vital informations later on, and if there be anything I need to know again, I definitely won't hesitate to ask it here.

Well, if what they are focused on is to see how they can help addicted gamblers come out from their addiction, then I wouldn't take them to be an anti-gambling site, that's a wrong assumptions, because even casinos (reputable ones) won't hesitate to ban a user (their user) when and if they discover that the user is a problem gambler, which is their own way of helping such user to stay off gambling as a way to cure his or her addiction.

Any gambler who has been consistent in this gambling board of bitcointalk.org forum where OP is promoting an anti-gambling addiction site would not see anything new with the site because all the information they need to live a healthy gambling lifestyle is already here. I do not think that a gambling addict who is finding it difficult to completely heal from his addictions here will get anything different from another site with a community of gamblers with same goal like bitcointalk forum.

The only remedy is for the addict to make up his mind to follow every good suggestions and recommendations given to him so he can heal faster whether he uses the site or not. Otherwise, he will just enjoy the discussions in the platform without dealing with the problem that brought him there in the first place.

It is awful. Black color don`t add some positive thoughts. To read such stories i don`t need to visit any site - here we see enough. And i don`t think that such site can help anybody - it is to depressing.
My opinion - just forget this idea. I couldn`t find even one positive moment during the visit.

I agree its to dark and implicates something negative. Maybe they need to change it on more positive colors to light up the vibes of the reader and they don't get bothered by the black color themed in their site.

But don't know if there are other people don't like that but I guess they need to improve their site to get more better interaction. Although the intention is good and somehow its a good site to read some stories about gambling addiction. Also yeah we can read a lot of stories here, but its good that there's a site dedicated unto this discussion and for sure we can learn a lot of things from reading those stories especially if there's a lot of people share their experience.

Incorrect! This site is primarily designed to help gamblers who are addicted to gambling which is why it's an anti-gambling site. Also, sites don't ban gamblers who are addicted to gambling. That makes zero sense.

They love such gamblers since they contribute productively towards their profit margins. Some sites offer self-exclusion protocols to help gamblers control their addiction.

I agree, I touched on that point. Unfortunately, I don't think they reviewed my platform.

Op, I have gone through your site, just like some others have said I think your team as to work on adding suggestions where family, loved ones or friends could get tips on how to act when they have one suffering gambling addiction especially ways they could make these victims see themselves suffering from gambling addiction.

Also I think you guys should work on your write-up since it seems more as being against casino rather than focusing on gambling platforms, also I don't know if you guys can guide those sharing their stories on format to write share it, since the only story shared there now and the write-ups made by you guys seems more as beng against gambling.

I think this approach will make many problem gamblers not to even care much about your  write-up and shared stories especially shared stories, from the fact that they have been hearing the words that gambling is bad/evil even maybe before they even started gambling but still choose to gamble. Instead of this approach I think if those who are going to share their/others stories will firstly speak about how they started gambling, then started following bad practices and couldn't see the mess they where falling to, until the fortunate event happened and things became regrettably clear for them. This will make others think of their gambling approach on when it is tending.


This is true though while they will potentially gain more from problem gamblers, I believe every gambling platform will also don't want to consider anything that is helping gambling addicts in overcoming their addiction at least publicly as something that's against them, in order not to seems evil to everyone including potential new/previous customers.

Well, sorry but I do not agree with you, and maybe you do not understand what I meant by a problem gambler, there is a stage that addiction to gambling usually gets to, the gambler him or herself becomes not a problem to him or herself, but also a problem to the casino.
A friend of mine who was addicted to gambling at the time was banned by the casino with a message to go help free himself from gambling addiction, then he can come back, his family sents complaints to the casino, and this what lead to the casino banning him.

And to respond to the first part of your comment, this is not the first, second, third or even fourth site that is announcing their service on this board which is to help addicted gamblers, why then do you tag this one as gambling.
There is a different between a service that discourages gamblers from gambling (anti gambling service), from a service that specializes on helping gamblers who are addicted; come out from their addiction (this is not an anti-gambling service).

Talking to a professional is just a first step to stop gambling addiction, that's not what an addicted gambler needs entirely. for you to overcome this addiction you must make intentional choices and tough decisions that might be hard to keep up with, there are gamblers that seek to give up this addiction by consulting therapy alone but they don't take personal step to ensure that they don't go back to it. I agree on your point though, talking to professionals is going to be very helpful but other measures must also be put in place to avoid relapse

There are lots of topics and post that have said much about gambling addiction and should serve more better than any other site. In fact this forum covers variety of discussion which almost some site talks about, and I don't see what would be written there you wouldn't find here, and of course people talks about gambling addiction almost all days in this forum and reasonable people should be able to narrow their ways towards easily becoming addicted to gambling.

All these addictions are about money, why should it stop? Let's drop this for a minute and talk about life loses, people of this generation still do things that can get them killed because of money and if they see one comrade dead they will say it is his own end not theirs, so they will still continue the act.

There is no solution out here for gambling addiction to be limited in any way, the only solution is inside the mind of every gamblers and the beginners, to avoid getting ruined by gambling you need to discipline yourself, no one can do it for others but themselves.

If an addict want to stop the addiction he or she must force things out, break the chain and be mean to themselves about gambling, you the addicted is the only one that holds the key to unlock yourself from the gambling addiction prison.

if you want a fight then not just addiction but the whole gambling itself because its the root of addiction , letting people to gamble will always make them prone in becoming addicted .

But of course this will never happen because we are gambler and we will be gambling till last drop lol.

That’s not true in my case, so I would not agree with that. Why would we stop gambling when it’s fun? The issue isn’t gambling itself but gambling addiction. What we need to eliminate is the addiction, not gambling. I can share from my experience as a gambler that I was once addicted during my early stage, but look at me now...I’m giving advice on how to avoid addiction. I’m very proud that I overcame my addiction and can now enjoy gambling without the risk of falling back into it. The key to staying safe is simple: discipline and never prioritizing gambling over anything else.

Gambling becomes a huge problem once you start losing money, and it's not really something I see is similar to things like drugs which you take in order to make you happy, but it's more viewed as a get-rich-quick scheme that just keeps going on forever, as if that's how the odds work.

Most of these people are going to be spending the money they have on bets and losing it.

Exactly! Gambling sites/Casinos are businesses at the end of the day and their end-goal is profit no matter what which is why them banning problem gamblers is ludicrous and silly in so many ways.

I have heard stories of so many, many gamblers losing their entire fortunes to gambling sites thanks to them taking advantage of their addictions cleverly.

I believe there were few sites that create to combat against gambling addiction, but all of them are dead because the site didn't make any money and there are no sponsorship. So sorry to say your project might become one of them.

Usually these kind project charge fee by offering service to cure gambling addiction.

I don`t think so. These stories tell us about gamblers addicts and nothing more. We don`t get any useful information from it. If we open recommendations - it becomes even more awful than stories. Just look at it: "I`m alone i have no one"; "I can`t tell my family about it". I don`t  see any positive advice here. The same time how it looks on the page: 1. I have a family. 2. I don`t have a family. 3. I have a family, but i can`t tell them about it.
I watched several minutes before i understood what the author wanted to say.

Maybe you should try click the "Read more" button

Your website starts with this text and I can't agree with you on this statement. On average, I gamble once a month, sometimes I'll gamble for a week and not touch a casino for a year, sometimes a year will pass and I won't even open a casino link. I want to say that I gamble when I want to have this fun and mood elevation that I get from the casino. Now I gamble once every two weeks on Metawin and I don't feel addicted. I have gambled since 2016 and never ever in my life have I got addicted to it. So, it's not true when you say that you'll inevitably develop an increasing addiction over time if you gamble despite the fact of frequency.

Do you offer a psychological help? You claim that a team with experience in gambling addiction created this platform. If you don't offer psychological help, I suggest you hire qualified and experienced psychologists, record videos about gambling addiction, share them online via social media and communicate with big casinos and offer your help.

I did it. I tell what i see on the first screen. It is first opinion i get from your site. I don`t have problems with gambling, but what see someone with depression? Black color and negative articles. How can it help to leave gambling? The first idea is suicide. Is it your purpose?

We will surely lose money once we become addicted, as that means we are not disciplined anymore. We can win from the start, but since we don't know how to stop, eventually we will lose everything. That's something we can learn, and actually, losing experiences do not automatically trigger addiction. It's the greediness and being unrealistic, thinking we can't lose, and once we chase our losses we will be able to come back on top. Our inability to accept defeat triggers addiction, but if we accept that we have losing and winning days, then things will be fine.

I have visited the site above, as you said the black template may need to be improved to accommodate motivational content that has a template concept with bright dominant colors and an attractive web appearance, but I did not read the entire content on the website and if the content is filled with negative articles then he needs to revise his articles. However, if he aims to open a discussion space on the web, but we already have this forum that already carries many threads for discussions against gambling addiction and other negative aspects of gambling.

Gambling addiction is not what we should take as easy like that, some are finding it more difficult to control their self over the influence of being addicted in gambling because some some level of addiction could not just only work by mere reading of articles, but they needed a physical attention and control measures to help them get over it, in these case, some may be referred to consult for a therapist while some at the early stage could easily find their way through by recommended platforms like this.

I know that there may be other similar platforms like yours nevertheless I just want to add that it is very thoughtful or you and the team to have come up with something like this. I strongly believe that no matter how little the help and support for gamblers struggling with addiction it would go a long way eventually in helping them quit. Which may not have happened immediately as we expect but it would build up in the future together with other interventions. The only problem that this platform may encounter is getting the gamblers to click on the link and share their experience. Now over to you how do you and your team think they can get the attention of the target group.

Some gamblers are ashamed to ask help but if your site can at least assist them in combating their addiction, why not? Some of them are just silently lurking to find ways how to address their addiction. So this may be a good avenue for them especially if all the services are free.

The job of attending each potential client is tedious. But if they have people on board willing to assist, they may at least lessen the burden of some of these gamblers who are truly seeking for assistance in battling their addiction. Helping one person a day is already noble act to live by.

Do you think addiction can be eliminated entirely from gamblers?
Don't you think that the way people gets into addiction so easily is the cause of their curiosity to earn some certain amount while gambling. Before we could talk of fighting addiction lets first of all fight Greed; this is the major reason why people are getting into addiction and anyone who can control this can actually not easily gets into addictions.

What do you think about this? 

I think you are oversimplifying the issue. Greed indeed plays an important role but many people who are addicted to gambling have other addictions as well, such as alcohol and/or cocaine, and in these we cannot say that greed plays any role. They may have to do with problems carried over from childhood, traumatic events not overcome, problems of social adaptability and a lot of factors that cannot be reduced only to the greed.

The important thing is that people who want to overcome it have the tools to do so, and I think this initiative is a good one.

It's not that easy to really stay away from gambling for good. We have heard horror stories from former gamblers and what happens to their lives when they got addicted and recovered. And you can see that it is really very hard to overcome unless a family member intervenes and then the gamblers admitted about his addiction and the first step is to go to rehab so that you will get the help professionally.

But there are gamblers who doesn't want to do it, but they were able to overcome it because something worst had happen to them. Like their families broken apart, business failing and worst, death. So we should really be mindful of our gambling habits so that we will not be included on that statistics. The website is up and running and yeah, but not sure how effective it can be to fight gambling addiction.

Their aim is not bad but someone who wants be an gambling addict will be a gambling addict and I don't think that what you have in this site can change the person not to do its will, Some persons have heard of the effects of gambling addiction from their neighbourhood and otherwise but yet their unable to to desist from being addicted in gambling, if I may say, is it only here that platform wants to advertise their functions, I think if they wants to have a traffic they should extend this their advert to other social networks like Facebook Instagram and reddit and other social media they know, because I will disagree with them that it will be difficult someone follows the instructions of this platform and reduce its engagement in gambling because nothing this forum have not educate us on the effects of gambling.

If you are addicted to gambling, you won't even want to admit it, admitting that you are addicted will make you up from your slumber, but the spirit of addiction will not allow you to wake the hell up, that's lack of self awareness, this method of fighting addiction will unfortunately not work on those who aren't even seeing anything wrong with themselves.

You can't rescue an addict who don't want to be saved, they need to be aware that something is very wrong with them first, and they will have this zeal of stopping the addiction themselves before people around them will want to help them.

Don't even try to learn from your own mistakes as a gambler if you are just starting out, you will end up losing too much before you know what's going on, instead it is better to learn from others mistake, this way you won't repeat every single mistakes that others made, I've zero my mind about gambling, to never think that I can be a millionaire from gambling, I risk only what I can afford to lose and take whatever gains that comes with it, if I am lucky.

Although this website has good intentions, it's certainly not enough to battle something as serious as gambling addiction. Surely, it has some helpful suggestions, but they alone aren't enough; you need the assistance of a professional, and in order to do that, you first have to acknowledge that you're addicted and need help. A large number of addicts often deny that their gambling habits are actually malicious and harmful to them. With that being said, the first step is acknowledging your addiction, and this website might assist in understanding your behavior and where to look for help if you're in despair. Then, seek professional assistance and look for the root of your addiction—what caused you to seek comfort in gambling.

Valid points, but I don't really see the point of this site since whatever is mentioned there is all common knowledge. Anyone can just search on google and learn about this stuff through its AI itself without even needing to find and access this site.

Something unique could have helped it stand out, but that clearly isn't the case here.

Having a professional is a must so when customer come and need advice, he can be direct to meet that professional by online. He can tell his story and about his gambling addiction so professional can identify and give the right solution.
You are right that coming to a rehabilitation place needs awareness that they are addicted to gambling and needs a help from those who can help them. Without that, the addicted people to gambling will not want to admitted that they are addicted to gambling and that will be difficult to makes them see the reality.
People on the site can enter to people who addicted to gambling if they feel no help from people around them and they find the site as the right place to share their gambling addiction and asks for help. That will be the time for the site to start helping those people who addicted to gambling so they can see what they must doing even they can arrange a real meeting to the next medication.

Well yeah I agree with you that those story can be made up since the site are pretty new and I forget to ask the OP yesterday. What are the motive behind all this beside the to fight the gambling addiction, I know that addiction is something that we need to fight for.

But where did u get the money too operate the whole company?

The site is just a compilation of people's addiction to gambling, created by people who experienced addiction, but I don't see any methods, guidelines, or even a full explanation of addiction to gambling; the title of the domain is good, but the contents are not.

Do you expect that people will be cured of addiction by just reading other gamblers' stories? For all we know, you just want content from your platform.

The content should be related to fighting addiction. Those who are addicted to gambling are aware of the fate of those who can control their addiction, and they will just ignore these stories; the most important is, what are the methods that gamblers can apply to escape addiction? This is what your content should provide.

true, to reduce addiction it must be done face to face if only online then it will be in vain, where we will not know someone's character and how addicted they are to gambling, a psychologist will find it easier to see his patient face to face not online, just like we get treatment if we are sick if we don't meet the doctor directly then we feel dissatisfied with the results of his diagnosis

From the first time, I have seen the title of the thread to be well caption, this is why I got attracted to this threads at first, because gambling addictions is one virus that have eaten dip into our society, and any thing that help fight gambling addictions is a welcome development.

Because of the important of gambling addictions fight, it been a great deal for even gambler who are not yet addicted to Gambling to always check on the thread so as to read the experience and advice of others who may have been down on that road of addictions in the past.

I have to admit that a serious gambling addiction is very difficult to recover from. Gamblers are basically aware of the impact of gambling addiction, but their high passion for the game and their desire to win make it difficult to control themselves. Gambling for money is never really recommended, it can cause you a serious addiction and be difficult to control.

In the past, I was really addicted to the lottery and slots, almost every day I bet the numbers. Not sure when I should stop at that time even though I actually didn't lose much, but when I found a change in other interests, the intensity would decrease over time. There are good suggestions on how to reduce the intensity of gambling, you have to find something that can distract you and make you more busy doing it. Quitting forever is obviously difficult, unless you have vowed to yourself never to gamble again.

This is a really important point and could be the key to developing the site to be a useful service site in the field of combating and preventing gambling addiction.

I would like to add another important point regarding focusing on providing awareness content to help the addict's environment and clarifying methods of dealing with addicts from their relatives. We all know that there will be no benefit to any treatment without support from those close to the addict since the treatment period (and beyond) requires close monitoring and accompaniment to help the addict overcome the stages of relapse. No ordinary person can play the role of support for an addiction patient without having the minimum level of knowledge, which is often not available to everyone, especially since not all addicts are financially able to hire a care specialist to follow up with them during the recovery period.

This site can provide valuable information if its developers work to enrich it with valuable content, especially that which includes scientific opinions and academic efforts. This also opens the way for those who have had the experience of accompanying a gambling addiction patient to publish their testimonies and share their experiences for the benefit of all.

If it is free, I do not see anything not good about trying such out. But if it involves money, offline rehabilitation center or seeing a doctor about it would be better. There are many sites online that are scam now. But about this site precisely, the domain name was created on the 12th of this month which is just a week back. If money is involved, this could be a scam.

I think that an addict need professional help truly because at a stage he will be left with no self help even if he is willing to let go of his addictions because sometimes, addictions can be treated using medical prescriptions, and doctor help.

Gambling addictions or any form of addictions have levels and the highest level can bit the individual willingness to quite, so even though he tried severally to quit he will still be Huck to his addictions, but if he seek medical help, the doctor can easily give out drugs that aid his quiting jurney.

There are thousands of websites, far more professionally done, with far more advice, some even have chats are hotlines part of government programs. Your claim of being the first and only savior of gamblers I more ridiculous than the claims you are trying to fight here.

Two things:
- people do gamble for fun and not everyone is addicted to gambling, I've been doing this for a decade, and never have I felt the need to actually gamble out of the blue, if I don't like the sport I don't gamble on it if I don't like the odds I don't either. There are thousands like me and there are millions who just buy a ticket to Vegas to have a different night and experience a new thrill and never come back for it again.
- true gambling addiction, because I won't deny it, it exists, won't be solved by a website and few stories, you need professional help for this, if you believe gambling addiction is that bad then you're contradicting yourself by thinking it would go away so easily
This is what one true solution looks like (https://www.ncpgambling.org/help-treatment/).

A community of gamblers with a gambling problem like Byegambling.com can be very helpful in providing emotional support to a gambling addict who is willing to change for good but, that is not just enough. Most gamblers in that platform are not professionals and cannot accurately tell the root cause of a particular gambler's addictions. Most of the advice and recommendations are from their own personal experiences which may not be Perculiar to the other person.

A gambling addict needs the help of a professional who will diagnos his condition and give him relevant recommendations. While at it, a gambling community can be helpful to motivate him to follow his treatments duly. Anyone who relies only on a gambling community for solutions is only wasting his time.

Your website looks simple and straight forward, which is good. There's no need for flashy images and a shiny web design.
There's not enough content. Only 4 articles and one story by a gambling addict. I don't think that many gambling addicts would be motivated to post their personal stories on your website, because there's no active community and they won't get any feedback or help.
People nowadays have Reddit or Telegram and Discord groups(even Facebook groups). What's the point on posting their stories on your website, when they could post their stories on Reddit?
Anyway, good luck with your project OP!

The main thing to do is, find a clean and positive environment from negative things, find activities that make you forget about negative things and at least it makes you tired, so that when you rest you don't focus on things like gambling because the activities you do have made you tired and finally fall asleep quickly, to do things like gambling will definitely be undoable because of your fatigue during activities.

The need for support from those closest to you so that you are always supervised by your family and one more thing, the person has a desire to get rid of their addiction, if there is no desire at all and no intention to change then it is very difficult for us or anyone to change their habits to be positive, of course they will always do their gambling habits because there are many cases like that and in the end end up in prison or suicide, so here both have a role to play for someone who is addicted to gambling if one is not there then it is difficult.

Everything on this site is depressing. Even if we don`t cares about content - the OP must change design totally. But the same time content and announce part must be changed. It sounds awful, it looks awful. If someone with problems visit this site he get only negative emotions from it. I don`t think that it is what the gambling addict need.
