I just barely knew the site and I thought this was a free program just opened the site and see pricing on it heheh.
They have a 7-day free trial plan so that's likely enough for someone who would like to try them if they're going to be helpful. With that period, customer has the access that they've made for everyone to help with their own community and materials they've made. Tho is always good to see people create a new site like this and help the other but It would be more great if you teamed up with the government so you can make this goodwill completely free.
I agree, it will be helpful if they team up with the government and propose this and see if they're up to the standards by the country where they'd offer this. But, majority of the government deals are hard to get even for an appointment so let's see if they've tried it already or not and if they're going to respond on this. It would be great to offer everything for free and get sponsorships or deals with governments. However, it's extremely hard to deal with governments. There is another aspects to it as well. People tend to take things more seriously when they pay for something than when it's free. Think of how many free services you've signed up for and never used. |

During January, we worked on a study where we asked our members about their gambling habits. We got 3300 responses. I believe it's the biggest study on gambling addicts ever.
I was checking the site and felt great to see that you are working with some academics to create contents. The Stockholm School of Economics in Riga is conducting a survey to understand decentralized gambling industry. Do you think you can collaborate with each others to help the academic study? I can connect you both if you want. Please do! Send me a PM, or ask them to contact me at support@quitgamble.com |

I'm sorry I haven't written anything for a while. I'm amazed to see the activity in this feed. I wish the people I'm trying to help would be as active in discussions as you are. Here are the latest updates from QuitGamble.com- We have passed 6500 members on the platform from 150+ countries now.
- The website is live in French, Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish and English
- During January, we worked on a study where we asked our members about their gambling habits. We got 3300 responses. I believe it's the biggest study on gambling addicts ever. (I'm a bit proud of that to be honest.) Among the questions we asked were: What do you gamble on? What do you struggle most with? And why do you gamble? We got some interesting results. 73% of gambling addicts gamble on slot machines... among women, that number is +90%. That main reason gambling addicts gamble is to win big money. (However, I've never met a gambling addict who gambles to win... so for me, that result is the most interesting of them all... Because it means that most gambling addicts don't know why they gamble. If you're curious, you can find the full gambling addiction study here.
- A couple of weeks ago, we started with a paywall for our courses and community. There are two reasons, first people tend to value things more if they need to pay for them. By paying, people take things more seriously, and hopefully, that will boost the activity. Second, we need money to be able to run our operations. Our goal is to be self-sustainable to remain completely independent from the gambling industry. All the extensive guides on the website and the Happiness Test will remain free.

This thread is getting a lot of support and discussions is ongoing at least OP should give us an update on how things are going I remember you sent me a message about linking up with casinos so how is it are you successful linking up and are you getting positive response from the casinos that you asked to link up, Bitcointalk community is all out in support of your cause.
I hope you get all the support from the majority of the casinos so you can support those who require help with gambling addiction, keep us updated for any developments.
It's been a lot of discussions in the thread. Not so many questions for me lately. We haven't heard anything from any casinos about collaborations. If any casino is interested, don't hesitate to send me a message. By adding information on responsible gambling pages, you can help people find help if they struggle with gambling problems. Since the thread started, QuitGamble.com has launched in Portuguese and French. Hopefully, we can add more content on the Spanish site soon as well. Tomorrow, our platform will reach 5000 members. Something we looked forward to for a long time. |

However, is there a summary of the results of the treatment that has been done? e.g. like documenting the pretest and posttest
So far we only have written testimonials from users we talked to. We hope to develop a better way of measuring things next year. I liked this platfrom it's easy to find pages, but OP said it's available in 3 languages but I seen only 2.(english is important btw)
You'll find gambling addicts speaking all sorts of languages. 3 is certainly not enough. I'd love to have the website in 20 languages, but the cost of translating is about $6K and I don't have the funds for it. If we would get a sponsor, I would be happy to translate the website into more languages. I liked this platfrom it's easy to find pages, but OP said it's available in 3 languages but I seen only 2.(english is important btw) A community with +4400 members
I could not found where is the forum is on the website, I think all the good and important features are not totally for free it have membership to use all features. We can just read lots of useful blog posts for free. The forum is available for the members in order to keep their discussion private. It would naturally be better for us to have it available on the website, because it creates free content for us. But it's more important to us that the users feel safe. Hence, you have to login to see the forum. |

Exactly, that's what I was trying to say in my last post, this initiative will serve as an inspiration or a spark so other people will try to do the same thing even if there are different cause that they want to be doing it. Like a small spark in a dry grassland, hopefully QuitGamble will be that spark that's going to ignite a wildfire.
Thank you! I hope it'll take off and become a global movement And coming back to this group though, the op said that everything on this quitgamble.com will be completely free, i am curious to know how or where they will be getting funding from? like we all know that even a charity organization needs funding. Sorry if this question have been asked and answered before, i completely missed it, anyone can just point me back to the answer please. For the past 5 years, I have funded the development of the platform from my own pocket. I've tried to get help from governmental organizations, gambling commissions, and gambling companies. But most often, our efforts have just been ignored. This summer we got a donation from an affiliate company of €25K. It was fantastic, but as you understand. €25K is just pennies compared to the total cost of development over the last 5 years. We hope that will change next year. If anyone wants to support us, a free way to do that is to sign-post QuitGamble on responsible gambling pages. I also offer to write responsible gambling pages for a fee. I consider your strategy on how to stop gambling addiction a great move and marketing your product in a space where gambling service are offered to the detriment of the user is a wise decision.
I will like to know if this is a professional consultancy service or just opinions and possibly methodology used on former addicts.
We have worked out our method to help people over time. We had ideas 5 years ago, and I have talked with 100s of addicts since then. Every time you learn something new. The biggest challenge we face is lack of motivation. Our members are often depressed, and I remember a time when I was depressed. You simply don't care about anything then. How do you motivate someone who has no motivation or energy? This is a topic I want to explore and find a solution to. |

you've got a nice domain, I wonder how much you have acquired it.
I was lucky, I only paid €15 for it  The guy who owned QuitGambling .com wanted €15K for it... He didn't get it... This is quite hard to believe  , from €15,000 euro to €15 euro, how is that even possible? Did you use some kind of charm on him to make him sell it at such a ridiculous price after first charging €15,000 euro? Would sincerely love to know, maybe i can learn a thing or two from that so I know how to bargain better when ever I find myself making such deals. Anyways, I understand that you are still new on the forum, and you probably may haven't come in terms or understand the rules of the forum, what you are doing up there is considered as spamming, it makes no sense when the op is the one spamming his or her own thread. Please use insert quote function and reply to as many comments as you want to reply to at once, this way, you have a much more clean thread, rather than you making different comments consecutively. The forum rules states that a user after making a post, must allow a post from another user, before posting another on the same thread. When it comes to the price of the domain. They were two different domains. QuitGamble.com was a free domain. QuitGambling.com was already taken and the domain shark wanted 15K for it. I didn't want to pay that price (insanity) so I found QuitGamble, which I actually like better. For free. Thank you for the spam tips. I had no idea. I'll try in this post to answer multiple comments in one. First, let me say welcome to the forum even though you've been here for a while, but then, this is probably the first time I am coming across your post on the forum, so welcome once again.
One question I have for the op is, is the mobile app available on google play store?, I will love to try the app out. Anyways, I will be following the project through this forum and thread from now on, kudos to you and every other person involved in the project.
Thanks for the Welcome We have a mobile app for Android and iOS. Best way to find it is to search for " how to stop gambling" and you find it Google Play. You can do nearly everything you can do on desktop in the mobile app. Snipped This is helpful and I can see it coming a long way to solve many gamblers request in mind concerning gambling, i just noticed one observation from the title compared to what the content is, the sites name is talking about quit gamble while the content are helpful ways to have a successful experience and the likes, this is not talking more about quitting but rather how one can get the best offers from gambling, the owner has the right to actually choose the name they want to bear while mine was just an observation. Interesting feedback, can you give any examples of "get the best offers from gambling"? I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
So, I can compare that your platform is like a consultation place where the gamblers who have a problem with their gambling habit or have an addiction are like their therapy, which you are promoting in this thread, right?
Honestly speaking, your approach is really good, and I also think that many of our community colleagues here on the forum platform seem like they will participate in the goal that you want to happen to everyone here in the crypto space. So, the only thing I see is that, in the simplest words, you will be the "Therapist of the Gamblers", right?
I see the platform as a self-help tool for problem gamblers. We will offer some consulting or coaching in the future, but I want to create things that we can scale at low cost rather than things where I need to participate in. (I can't scale myself). "Therapist of Gamblers" That would be an honor. I wish I could switch my username then. Perhaps I should create a new user. |

Can I ask what made you make that change?
I wanted to do something else. The affiliate business didn't make me happy. Then, a friend suggested that I should help people instead, and something sparked in me. It was a challenge, and I quickly realized there was so much more to addiction than I had thought before.
What is the real intention of the owner of the platform that we are talking about?
Here is some more information about the project. https://quitgamble.com/about-us
Founder of QuitGamble.com, I think they should make the About Us page visible on their homepage, people will ask for information about the site and its founder and it should be easily accessible.
Thanks for the feedback! It is good with thing we can improve. The About page is linked in the menu, and there is a section on the start page about the project with a link to the About Us page. Any suggestion on how to make it more visible?
The only thing I'm searching was if there's any audibles that we can listen to which would be a great addition to the platform.
Thanks for the feedback. Some guides we have an audible version of. Can you give some examples of audibles you'd like to have? It would be very interesting. thanks again!

This is very interesting. I have seen lots of threads here talking about gambling addiction and how to stop it but for the first time I am seeing a website fully dedicated to the course of stopping gambling addiction. Gambling addiction has eaten deep into gamblers that they can not control themselves anymore. It is obvious that some addicted gamblers do undergo therapy before they could be able to break out of gambling addiction and some too even after undergoing therapy, they still see themselves addicted but however OP have fully shown how dedicated he or is to Stop gambling addiction by coming up so this project. I believe addicted gamblers would see this and make use of the opportunity to aid themselves in following the steps provided on the website to ease to ease their gambling addiction.
Thank you for your encouraging words
did you follow any plan or you follow any official guide related gambling problems?
how did you get these information/get assembled?
I think this a nice and useful idea, but I will just more to try to find more information on such materials since it's really crucial to know...
The short answer is that we didn't follow any official guide related to problem gambling, because there is simply none. All of them are influenced or affected by the gambling industry. Look at the major organisations like the national counsel on problem gambling and Gamcare. Both organisations promote responsible gambling. The same goes for the research. Since I saw many suffering, I wanted to create something different. [moderator's note: consecutive posts merged] |

In general, the website has useful information but certainly requires more tests, questionnaires, and content.
Thanks for the comment. On the members pages, the courses, most videos, and the community are available. The Happiness Test is available without signing up though.
I just do not understand how a website may help you get rid of a gambling addiction. The people who are addicted to gambling, I am sure their family and friends must have asked to stop the gambling frequency. The people near the gambling addcited must have tried to stop the person from addiction but to no avail. So how come a text website will be able to help get rid of gambling addiction???
Thanks for the feedback! The platform is based on escape theory. We believe gambling is doing something for the person, that's why it's so hard to stop (if you want to stop). For instance. Many gamble when they feel bored or lonely, because gambling is exceptionally good at distracting you. When you gamble, you don't feel lonely anymore. It's the escape that is addictive, not the gamble by itself. On the members pages, we have developed video courses. In the video courses, we use CBT to help people overcome the different areas in their life that cause them pain. For instance, we have courses in handling loneliness, boredom, stress, lack of meaning, and worries about health. We don't try to compete with Gamblers Anonymous or psychologists, instead, we offer an alternative. Something that is available 24/7 worldwide. Currently, we have members in 110+ countries.
I wonder how effective this program is. Have there been any testimonies from addicted gamblers who were helped by your platform?
This is free, as you mentioned, so I'm curious about its effectiveness. Gambling addiction is a serious issue and often requires expensive sessions to address. I appreciate the effort, though. I'll explore your website to gather more information, but I don't need help right now. Hopefully, I won't need it in the future.
We have many happy members on the platform. The most common comment is that they don't feel alone anymore. Other comments on the benefit of putting addiction in a new light. For instance how QuitGamble focuses on the underlying causes of the addiction (what gambling is doing for the person, rather than just trying to stay away from gambling.) I hope to get many more comments and testimonials in the future.
If you're curious about our project, please feel free to reach out. I would be happy to receive any feedback, both positive and negative. If you have a gambling problem, I would recommend you take a look at our how to stop gambling addiction guide. It's a step-by-step process that will put you on a new track. I just read the whole thing about how to stop gambling by following a few steps and it's good that everything is written in detail and also added a video as a sweetener, but I don't care whether this can help addicted and problem gamblers or not, what is clear is your goal in introducing the site You are on this forum to help gambling addicts and problem gamblers, which is very good because to be honest, we don't see many sites like this, let alone providing help for free. I would love to see how your site works fully and I would like to see many more positive feedbacks about the services you provide to gambling addicts, I will wait for some of the community from this forum who feel they are gambling addicts or have problems in gambling, will they try your site and succeed with the services you provide. Btw welcome to the forum Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. Let me know if we can do anything for you guys at Stake. We have some collaborations with companies like Kindred and LL Europe where they recommend us to customers via their responsible gambling pages.
Sincerely, I looked over the platform and found that the goals are commendable. Others believe it is inconceivable that you could demonstrate, in any way, using this platform, what can be done when one is addicted to gambling.
Additionally, it appears that the platform's theme is sound, and it is open to hearing about any and all stories from gamblers in the cryptocurrency area; it appears that they wish to be involved in it in some way.
Thanks for the kind words! It's fantastic what words can mean sometimes.
Did you see the URL? QuitGamble.com Which means you should quit gambling.
Yep, it depends on the owner who create this site too. If they're someone who really hate gambling because it's bad, forbidden by many countries and religion, there's no problem to use quitgamble domain. But if they're someone who being neutral or even support gambling, they should use a better domain e.g. gamblehelp, gambleguide, gamblecontrol, stopaddiction etc. What I see the domain and content are contradicts each other. We chose the domain because the platform and website focus on helping people who want to stop gambling. We don't condemn gambling, it's up to each individual if they want to gamble or not. (It was an added bonus that QuitGamble.com was available. [moderator's note: consecutive posts merged] |

Hi Everyone! I wanted to share a project that I've been part of. 5 years ago, I changed course from being a casino affiliate to working with problem gambling. It's been a project full of challenges, happiness, tears, and fighting. I wanted to do something different, and I saw how many people struggle. QuitGamble.com is an online platform and mobile app to help people with gambling problems. The platform is free to use, and members get access to: - Video Courses
- Extensive Guides
- A community with +6500 members
- Chat, Forum and Support Groups
- Mobile App
Everything on QuitGamble.com is built from a problem gambler's perspective. We don't talk about responsible gambling, which many other organizations who claim to work with problem gambling do. For us, there is no such thing as RG for someone with gambling problems. (Who would write about responsible drinking on a page for alcoholics?) The website is available in English, Spanish, Swedish, French and Portuguese. If you're curious about our project, please feel free to reach out. I would be happy to receive any feedback, both positive and negative. If you have a gambling problem, I would recommend you take a look at our how to stop gambling addiction guide. It's a step-by-step process that will put you on a new track. Have a super day, everyone! /Anders |

Hi! A few days ago, we were contacted by a platform helping people with gambling problems. It's an online international platform with courses, self-assessment tests, videos, and a big community of ex gamblers. I know there are people here that gamble too much, it's easily done. If you have problems, contact them. All their services are free to use. I thought it was a good resource to share here. You find the platform here: https://quitgamble.com. May the force be with you! /A |

Thanks for the note about BitcoinPenguin. I'll take a look at it. Regarding Game Protect, I don't even have the power to discuss with them. I chatted with them before and I got this: Game Protect: "But Game Protect is not an affiliate, its an online gaming consumer protection service. Players have the option to qualify with registering their accounts with any qualify cost free site." Me: "How do you make money, if you don't use tracking links on the casinos in your table?" Game Protect: "We have tracking links and receive commissions, but this does not make us an affiliate like you It is just a revenue stream" You tell me if they are an affiliate or whatever they claim to be... hahaha The determination of whether or not someone is an affiliate depends on the main activity. The main activity of Game Protect is online gaming consumer protection service and therefore we are not an affiliate, even though we have affiliate links. Your main activity is stating nonsense about casinos to animate players to sign up using your affiliate links to get commissions and therefore you are an affiliate. It is very easy to understand. Sorry to ruin it for you Game Protect... you're an affiliate like anybody else. The difference is just how you get your customers... If you want to be called something else, then just delete your affiliate links... Nothing wrong by being an affiliate... |

It's very near World Cup now... Since you guys are collaborating with 120+ casinos, want to share with us which of these are having new promotions? Also what I find very useful is a list of updated promotions that is currently ongoing with any casinos. Not just the ongoing first deposit promos you can find almost every day but the ones that only last for limited periods (like World Cup). Fiat bookies usually have like very special odds for first time players or returning players. Things like that.
Hey Slaman29! Thank you for your feedback. One casino that I know is putting a lot of effort for the world cup is Cloudbet. I also so that Pokerstars has a fun campaign (not within bitcoins). They are offering £100M to the person who can guess the correct result in all World Cup Games. I agree with you that it would be great to have a list of short-term offers. Currently, we can't handle all the information that it would need, however. I'm sorry. When we have enough traffic to the site to dedicate more staff to it, then we will add more short term offers too. We are going to add a function of comparing live odds on the site later this year. (It's a quite complicated function involving live feeds from different casinos). |
