QuitGamble.com - Free Help for Problem Gamblers

[benalexis12]

I guess this is a new approach that @OP is trying to develop. Instead of testing his level of addiction, we will be asked to test his level of happiness. And I tried the test to see what my level of happiness was.

But unfortunately, we have to register first to see the results. Maybe later, I will decide to register. But I think I can still handle gambling well so I'm not a serious gambling addict.

Thanks for sharing it with us @OP. Hopefully, your site can help people reduce their gambling addiction. They can use your site well and it can provide benefits for them.

That's what I'm thinking too, but for now I'm still observing, though I like the motive intention of the platform. I hope this will help crypto gamblers in this field of business anyway.

Then it's okay; maybe even if we're not in a situation where we already have an addiction, we can still be part of their goal, right? What is the real intention of the owner of the platform that we are talking about?

I wonder how effective this program is. Have there been any testimonies from addicted gamblers who were helped by your platform?

Good question, but it seems that this is just a new platform, so they might not have or maybe few gamblers have reach out to them. And if ever they have, the data is going to be fairly young. But I do hope that the OP will comeback for more data in the future.

Well, I didn't bother to explore more on the website yet, but as per OP they already have a community of +4400 members, so I pressume that it's already an established one as new platform does not easily get that big numbers.

A community with +4400 members

I changed course from being a casino affiliate to working with problem gambling

Can I ask what made you make that change?

You can find the answer here

https://quitgamble.com/about-us/ From this page you can read the mission, the vision, and  Anders Bergman
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.

I also did the happiness test and actually you can receive the results without registering on the website as it will be sent to your email. I received mine a few minutes after submitting my entry and it came back positive.

It's a great platform. I haven't fully check everything but upon visiting the website, it's user friendly and with just few reading, you'll be inspire to quit gambling with the quotes they have. I'm not really into book reading and watching videos and if I was still addicted to gambling, those may have not help me (doesn't mean it won't help others) but having short quotes, and a community to speak with will help a lot for those gamblers who wanted to quit. 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.

In everything that has an advantage, there is always a disadvantage. One can always choose to be on the positive side and continue to gamble responsibly, which will also contribute to his mental growth. Those who choose to turn their gambling life into a hobby instead of doing it for fun are chasing after big wins, which leads them right into getting addicted. Those kinds of people are the reason why most people see gambling as a bad influence.

It's barely possible to make an addicted gambler become a responsible gambler because it's not in their nature to be responsible or disciplined which is the reason why they became addicted to gambling in the first place. And, someone who is a responsible gambler doesn't have gambling problems because problems arise when a person gets heavily addicted and starts spending all their time and money on gambling and has no consciousness for any other thing in their lives.

I think the initiative OP has started is great if it turns out to be effective for gamblers who acknowledge the fact that they are facing problems and want to get out of their addiction. I'm not an addicted gambler, but it will be nice to see an addicted gambler try out the platform and then write feedback about the changes they can see in their life.

I think they are quite experienced if their members are that much, and many methods have been applied to various people's characters with gambling addiction, but indeed we do not see statistical data on how effective this platform is in dealing with gambling problems.
But if for example you want to deal with your gambling problem, you should try it yourself and see how much the impact on you yourself sir.

This is certainly a good opportunity because there are those who provide a platform to solve your gambling problem online and also free, I see the concern of developers here for people who have problems in gambling, if they do this program on a sustainable manner, that is a noble thing.

For whatever options that are currently existing then it would really be just that ideal that you should really be making use of it if you do find your own method or choices doesnt work.
Why would people  do really love on having those kind of judgment in speaking about services offered? Its true that it would really vary on a certain individual about on how things should really be done.
We know that gambling addiction is really that something a very tough problem that cant be easily be resolved out by any app or platforms or counselling or advises or whatsoever.
It would really be that always falls down on someones will and dedication if they would really be that deciding on quitting or else there's no thing on this world that would
really be that something effective but rather it would really be always starting on your own self thought.

Others might not appreciate this type of help that you're doing but you're doing something that will help those that are in dire need of being an addicted gambler.

It's all for free and they will have someone to talk to if they want to at least on chat to maintain their anonymity because most of these gamblers don't want to let others know who they are.

@OP, you're doing a good job with this advocacy. Because in a business perspective, those startups that might have come up with something like this. There is for sure going to be a stream of making money but yours is free and hopefully you'll maintain that continuously and you've got a nice domain, I wonder how much you have acquired it.

[Slow death]

This topic about addiction is not an easy topic, addiction is a disease that destroys the life of the addicted person and all other people who are close to the addicted person. Although I congratulate the efforts of your website, still in my opinion just using your website will not be enough for addicted people to cure their addiction. This is because unlike what your website says that to cure addiction you need to achieve happiness, in my opinion for people to cure addiction they need to be admitted to the hospital and away from anything that is making them addicted. for example in the case of a person addicted to gambling

This person needs to be admitted to a hospital, without a telephone, without internet access and without access to any game for months, this person will need to do other things to have fun, only after many months will this person be cured of the addiction. Now, if a person addicted to gambling has a phone with internet access and doesn't go to the hospital and stays on your website, that person won't be cured. that person will continue playing and will destroy his life, as long as an addicted person has access to the thing that causes him addiction, he will never stop the addiction

[BenCodie]

Good to see that there is now a resource that admitted problem gamblers can use to turn things around. Credits to you for creating this project and I hope that it is a success in the purpose it is aimed to serve!

...and who might be those that would be against the help of gambling addictions, other than casinos who are crossing the line of greed and disrupting responsible gambling? I would hope you are not referring to any members of the community, as that would be troubling to hear.

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.

hence, this site may come in handy for those gamblers here who want to address their addiction for free or those gamblers who are on the verge of addiction. better take care of it early rather than when you are already too deep in your troubles.
as the thread says, free help, so hopefully it will attract gamblers here that are asking for this kind of support. as you said, there are so many threads here already discussing about addiction. so yeah, time to have that kind of free service for these people.

Yes, its free and its not something that you arent that forced to make use of it but this kind of step or move made by OP is really that something that deserved merit and commendation.
Its totally unlikely or really that not common on seeing free service nowadays on which if there's someone bothered up and making something for the benefit of these gambling addicts then
it is really just that good to know that there are ones who do give that kind of importance on how to resolve out such problem. Most of people on this thread do really tells
about on for it not to work on which there's a point but its not bad to make out these kind of steps either.

[Ojima-ojo]

I skim through the site and the method for solving addiction is to attack the "pain" which causes a person to gamble in the first place. The less you feel the "pain" then the less likely one to gamble and be addicted to it. It's a personal development in a way with a specific purpose so I guess that's not a bad way to approach it.

The thing there is personal discipline and following principles,  this is so important that tou as a gambler holds 90% of the solution to the problem and instead looking for a solution from external places, you should,, first of all be able to tell yourself the truth, after you have measured your level of involvement in the act and making up your mind to quit, regardless.


So even though if the site, and the activities within it as listed by the ops aren't able to change your addictions state, you should be able to at least figure out one or two features that will help you in your personal quest to kill gambling addictions.

[bitbollo]

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...

[Agbe]

The two links you provided they are all nice. You really break down the steps to stop gambling addiction but there is one that you didn't mention from the guides or the steps. Most people involved in gambling from the onset because there was no any other work or job for them to do so they see gambling as a part time job. I can still vividly remember in 2018, in one the compound I had lived, and the youth in that community were saying that "Thank God that they brought gambling because there is no any other job to do", then I quickly recalled that "so it is because there is no job for them to do, that is why they are gambling", the job is government and not manual jobs. Those are some of the things that were making them to join gambling.

So even though if the site, and the activities within it as listed by the ops aren't able to change your addictions state, you should be able to at least figure out one or two features that will help you in your personal quest to kill gambling addictions.

As we know that any method will not be able to stop someone's addiction if that person does not have the confidence in themselves to reduce their gambling or stop gambling, to be honest it is very difficult to fight the feeling to stop gambling, it takes time because of the level of that person's addiction. different ones are not always the same, for addicts who have a high level of difficulty it will take a lot of time to stop, in contrast to gambling addicts with a lower level it will not take long to cure them.

But there are several features there that might be a reference to start with, even if using the site doesn't change the situation, at least find out about yourself what the level of addiction is then slowly reduce it continuously like my friend did. He managed to cure his gambling addiction because he started by reducing his gambling time. and desire and strong determination. it becomes a weapon to convince yourself to succeed.

Previously no one took gambling addiction seriously and everyone was of the point of view that gambling addicts should come up with ways to reduce gambling and engage in other healthy activities. Of course, this is not easy and if it was easy to move away from gambling, no one would be addicted to gambling.

With the introduction of such sites, at least people will realize that addiction of gambling is like a disease that needs a medical solution and it is something that can't be ignored.

Such sites will bring this issue on the table, the people will take it seriously and eventually, we will have gambling addiction rehabilitation centers online or offline.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

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.

Infact, this is actually a very good project for the gambling community, most especially when we have problems gamblers every where looking and seeking for help, I personally like the fact that you guys decided to make everything in the site free of charge, atleast with this, no addicted gambler have any excuse as to why they cannot access help.

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.

[Casino_Guide]

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.
