Bitcoin gambling problem

[Mr. Magkaisa]

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!

    -  This is a great resource that you have shared here in this forum section for addicted gamblers who are having a hard time turning it around. Although, most people know that real change starts with ourselves, and this quit gambling can be one of the guidelines for the real change of a gambler in the gambling industry.

When I looked at it while watching their video presentation, it was like digital therapy for addict gamblers or the process of a course, it doesn't seem like that. But all in all, she is beautiful mate, thanks for sharing.

What am wondering here is that if they can profer a solution just as the gambling casino's representative could attend to their gamblers or they will only work upon promoting their site without anything that to offer than conteplation, as for me i don't think it's advisable because they can't be the general gambling support center except if some casinos register under them giving them license to have access to their website, we need to be careful as well so that some people won't have access to your casino account and transfer your gambling funds away from your wallet.

Problem gambling can happen in every format. Be it an online casino or offline casino. So not sure why bitcoin gambling is highlighted in the subject line. It could have been written in a more generic way.

Problem gambling depends on an individual. Gambling houses have no role there. Gambling is a legal business and there are several medical resources available to counter/handle problem gambling. The link you have shared is one of such resources.

Probably, OP is into bitcoin or crypto gambling that’s why he assumed that most gamblers are betting in bitcoin. But its obvious that the main point here is gambling problem regardless if you are betting in fiat or crypto. And as a regular gambler, I would say that having gambling problem is very common especially if you are starting to gamble with uncontrolled urge that makes you addicted in gambling. Although not all addicts in gambling are suffering from gambling problems, but most likely those who have gambling problems are those who gamble not for fun but for their source of living.

I have read some of the reviews available on the site you linked. looks good, has prospects of helping gamblers with addictive disorders. however I'm not sure, a service like this will be effective online. The thing is, most addicted gamblers aren't going to be interested in this sort of thing. the thing that makes it interesting and which is my question, is this like guidance counseling services, or like rehabilitation services. but I don't know, because I didn't try to register it.

To be honest, we don't have a gambling problem with bitcoin. but by the way, if this is purely to help without instead of money, I really appreciate it and hopefully it helps to addicts who need help.

Thank you for sharing. If a gambler engages in uncontrollable gambling and a major disaster ensues, he should either stop gambling or learn how to control himself from the situation. But I think everyone who is active in this forum can lead a very good gambling life. Maybe they've never had a situation where they needed that kind of help. I have seen on some gambling sites some things like meditation for addicted gamblers to help them get back to normal life.

This is the just what I was looking for. A colleague has been battling gambling addiction and now I have shared the link with him. In the coming weeks I will be speaking to high school kids on the danger of gambling addicition and the articles in the blog section will coming in handy in helping me prepare adequately for my presentation.

Wow,it's really cool that you're preparing a presentation for kids.You are making a good contribution to their future.I remember my school days, we didn't have anything similar or even some basic lessons on handling finances.I am glad to see that interesting topics for discussion will reach schoolchildren as well,it will be very useful for them and may save someone from problems in the future.

Nice share, thank you so much OP!

I hope that your colleague will be able to overcome his problem in gambling and good luck to your speaking engagement. It's necessary to have such talks that will help the younger ones these days on what are the effects of being addicted in gambling.
They can gamble as much as they want but they have to understand what will be the outcome if they cannot control themselves.

As far as I know, meditation can help in difficult situations. Of course, meditation classes will not bring back lost money, but they can make one reconsider life, oneself, and one's habits. And this in my opinion is very important, because only understanding their problems can overcome them.

In fact, it doesn't really matter what tools a person uses to fight addictions, as long as they give him confidence and eventually lead to success.

It's a matter of choice and control, and if you know how to keep yourself in your pants, then gambling will not harm your pockets because you will not be addicted to it. However, thank you for the suggested website, I guess there are many organizations available online and offline to help us fight gambling addiction, this one though is a great find.

All gamblers know that in gambling they must have control not to get addicted but when someone is already involved in gambling then we lose control of normal gambling limits so that we will risk higher money without consideration of loss. I have reviewed the website of the OP and it is very interesting because they share information to avoid gambling addiction, hopefully they can help everyone to get out of problem gambling.

There should be a pinned thread with all those sites listed. There are many support groups around the world and many numbers you can call to find someone to talk to. This is especially important when you had a big loss and don't know what to do. A loss can work as a wake up call and allow you to make the first step into fighting your addiction.

It's not that difficult to find help if you really want to. Especially online. If you live in a shitty country where everything is bad and doesn't work as it should, then finding state-sponsored support groups and programs is challenging. But the biggest issue is that problem gamblers don't think they are addicted. Hence, they don't see a reason to change anything. No matter how many links or phone numbers you put up, they aren't going to call because they think they have everything under control and they behavior is normal.

It's always helpful to share these types of resources, but I found it slightly ironic that just scanning through the about us page - the founder states that the whole setup is actually funded by a collection of casino gambling comparison sites. So on the one hand they *might* be helping people but on the other hand they are directing new people to these gambling sites that create the underlying addiction, it seems highly hypocritical and I wonder what mental hurdles they jump through to rationalize that to themselves. Anyway, if it helps just one person get free, as it looks like there are some quite expansive sections to the site, then I guess it's a useful resource, but the domain feels a bit ugly (not that it matters much)

That's the dilemma, and most of them are still in denial stage of their current situation.
If they won't acknowledge that they do need help or has a problem, they can't move on to the next step.
They need to see that they are having problem with their gambling habits, if they can't recognize such problem,
then, certainly, they won't ask for help or assistance of what they are going thru.
Close family members or colleagues can help him see what's going on, try to talk to him calmly.

Most of the time on which addicted person would really be having that denial state on which they cant really see on what they are really that doing and would really just say that they are really that fine and there's nothing wrong on what they are doing which is really that a very common approach.This is why its really that important that you should really know on what you are dealing off with and on what are the things that you should really do.Be wary in towards your actions and really be that having that good self control so that you wont really be that be putting yourself into big trouble.This is why its really that important
on figuring it for yourself if ever there are already some actions that had already past up on that limit or border line.

Hopefully it will be useful website for addicted gamblers who suffer from controlling limits. The more you chase losses, the worse it goes as confirmed by experienced gamblers. Knowing your limits and not pushing your luck may be solution for short time frame but in the long term professional help is needed, IMHO. Thanks for spreading helpful tools on this forum board, it must be nice to know you help strangers who share same problems.

Agreed, this is a must needed service. The service needs to be spread all around. It looks like the service is offered for specific countries. Western nations have got different choices to get out of addiction. However these services finding the right person and treating them is really great. Initially the gambler himself need to have a change and the thinking to correct himself. Only then things will be effective.

Help from others + self acceptance of mistakes would be the most effective way on getting yourself get rid of addiction and it isnt really just that limited only on gambling problem but also in other aspects as well that

we can potentially face up in real life.There are really lots of ways or methods on helping someone with addiction.Its true that getting rid of it alone is the most effective approach but not all are really that emotionally strong or have that strong control and discipline towards themselves and this is why they do decide on touching up on having others help to solve up the problem and there's nothing wrong with that.

@OP thank you for the link, it is indeed a very informative website.  It caters to knowledge about gambling addiction, its signs, and determining if one have gambling addiction.  What's best is the service is free as @OP stated.

From the information on the site alone, I can say it is a great help.  Plus they provide 24/7 services to advise people in need.  they also have a community of experienced people that were once addicted to gambling and are now rehabilitated and going back to normal living.

[harizen]

In reality, those gamblers that have a serious gambling problem already might not refer to any form of help as they are already owned by the negative effects of gambling. Those gamblers are in need of a serious approach and their families and friends play a big role to help them.

Maybe the site mentioned by the OP will help instead those people that still can control themselves despite feeling emotional stress due to gambling.

But for those who are new to the gambling world, as much as possible don't allow yourself to experience such negative effects that gambling brings to us.

It was far easier when betting on-line was not that popular or even not possible, because people with gambling problems coud actually request to be denied entrance to casinos and thus gain some control over their bad habits and their life. Now it is much more important to have such a services as gambling is so widely available and there is not general possibility of self-banning for sites.

[Hispo]

Well, thanks for sharing OP.
I personally think that the title of your thread is not completely appropriate since Bitcoin is not explicitly about gambling, but rather a tool to transfer value which itself helps to create transactions and then the gambling itself.

It would the the equivalent of writing: "Dollar gambling Problem".

Also, in their explanation about addiction the claimed that heroin and morphine are the same thing, while that is not actually true, even though both can be highly addictive and have both recreational and medical uses, they differ in chemical composition.
