QuitGamble.com - Free Help for Problem Gamblers

[wiss19]

Those who are later looking for help and fighting gambling addiction are certainly at fault, it's from the beginning that they should have avoided that to avoid wasting themselves and their finances away. Many would not learn about gambling but just dabble into it, they never knew how it is being engaged wisely, the dos and don'ts of a good gambler and many more, but will just start because they believe they could try their luck since it is easily accessible, but instead, they start losing and exhibiting a very bad behaviour regarding it. Well, it is never too late for anyone and every gambler could be healed whether they want it or not, that is why they need more external help if they can't help themselves.

And yes, it will be nicer, easier and quicker if the gambler has the Willpower in them, it may even make them heal all by themselves, but when they cannot after trying many times, external help is the key. This may start with their friend, family and loved ones, before moving to the expert level if such close external help does not work. And if it's the experts in the field of psychological healing like psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists, they can unlock the Willpower that you guys think is impossible, so that the gambler can control his consciousness and fight within as well. That is the first goal of all experts even if the gambler or the addict seems uncooperative and unwilling to be cured.

I don't think anyone would willingly get themselves in trouble, so those who get into gambling don't realize that they are going to get addicted to it and then become reckless gamblers spending so much time and money on it. Most people just want to try their luck with gambling in the beginning with a small amount, but they don't stop right there when they lose that money, they keep trying so that they might win something at some point, and eventually get addicted to it.

Then there comes a time when they don't gamble only for the gains but they do it because they can't be without it, though they also want to win some money but the addiction is barely for that because I have seen gambling addicts winning in gambling and not stopping but trying to win more after that.

Your website have some quality content that can guide a compulsive gambler to become a normal and responsibile gambler. Sometimes, members in this forum always seek for ways to stop gambling addiction which I have usually offered my own opinion but I can suggest this topic for them and my own opinion too.

actually this it not just for compulsive gambler but also a best way for new gambler to know what can gambling bring them as a warning and  a guide , reading this whole thread will give them more knowledge to what can do and not in terms of gambling.
because we knew nowadays that this area of fun bringing is also a place where you can lose everything if not knowing what you are entering and engaging.

The challenge here or the hard part arises when a gambler is either unaware of their addiction or not willing to stop gambling voluntarily. When a person acknowledges the excessive and increase of their gambling activity, that is the first positive step in my opinion as well as in my experience, perhaps a lesson learned from realizing the amount of money and time lost chasing that adrenaline rush, only to see it vanishes for absolutely nothing.

Platforms like yours could really assist and help a lot of individuals who are seeking help, especially in countries lacking or not having any rehabilitation centers, like my case. For those straggling with addiction in our countries it's often a harder battle with limited resources and knowledge. I believe such services should be promoted alongside the gambling industry and its advertisements. If gamblers struggling with addiction stumble upon this platform it might prompt them to recognize their addiction and take another direction to open up and seek help. However, I also find your monthly fees subscription to the platform a very good price for some gambler who spends double the amount in one blackjack hand or a slot spin.

My experience in gambling made me write what I wrote and I know that people will not knowingly get themselves in trouble, nevertheless, we should not treat them with kids' gloves or not put them through in the right way. If they had done the right thing in the first place by first preparing for gambling to learn and know the dos and don't of it, and also doing them as it should be done, they wouldn't have been the victim of gambling addiction. This is why it is good to caution the new gamblers so that they can do the needful and not just dabble into gambling due to the money they want to make from it, it will be disastrous in this regard.

The love of money will always blind gamblers, and the issue is not about addiction alone but the wastage of their resources. But if they are "before warned they would beforeknow and armed at the same time" to their benefit at large. Those who are either making it in gambling or enjoying their gambling activities (even if they are not making so much money) are the ones who fully understand gambling and engage it the right way, they will never be desperate about gambling and be responsible in doing it through moderate gambling way and others. There is nothing wrong with gamblers knowing this beforehand, and for those who had started on the wrong footing, it is not too late for them to retrace their steps for their own good.

This is the first time I noticed this topic and I found it really interesting.

Although it may seem to some that this app is not of great importance on the basis that dealing with gambling problems can be done in specialized centers with the help of experts specialized in this field, I see the importance of this application for users in countries that do not have specialized treatment centers.
In my country, for example, there are a few addiction treatment centers that provide their services at a very high cost that does not fit everyone’s budgets, compared to treatment departments in public hospitals that do not provide good quality services, and the doctor is required to inform the authorities of any of the cases he deals with, which is what It completely contradicts the principle of privacy, so no one visits them.

Yes, its there and could really be something relevant but in overall these apps or whatever that correlates about gambling quitting or stopping will really be that useless if the said gambler wont really be having no plans on stopping at all.   When it comes on quitting on gambling then this is something that wont really be that having any thing that could help out but only yourself.
This is why it would really be better that you should really know and be wary on the things that you are dealing with. If you do know the risks and possible circumstances that you might be able to experience then you would really be that definitely be avoiding yourself into possible trouble on which this is something which is really that recommended.

As I said in one of my previous comments, dealing with gambling problems should be taking care of in specialized centers with the help of experts. This can be confirmed by referring to data regarding recovery cases, of which we find that more than 90 percent are in treatment centers, following a precise care program, while the remaining 10 percent are cases that were able to overcome their disease states on their own, meaning that they have a strong determination to decide to finally quit gambling without the need for any external intervention.

I am not saying that this application is absolutely bad or useless, but it can be described as a collection of many contents in one application. These contents are found scattered on the Internet, and those wishing to search can find them without the need for an application. I also confirm that the application can help cases in areas where treatment methods are not available and the patient is ignorant of the steps that can be followed to help him.

While I think that helping people with their addictions is a great cause and you should be applauded for doing so, I think it would be even better if this information and program was available for free.  Maybe you could look into getting sponsored by an online casino to help cover costs or advertise for other positive things like therapy to help generate funds.  I'd imagine someone addicted to gambling is turning to help because they've found themselves in an unsavory financial position.  Being able to provide them with free information to help them would be amazing.  Just some ideas for you.

Well, from what I've learned previously about this program, I think they are actually offering the services for free, atleast, this is what the op said between the first and second page of this thread when asked if addicted gambler will have to pay to get enrolled into the program.

However, talking about partnerships, op also have stated that the issue of partnership has been the major problem for them since no casino or company they have approached have agreed to partner with them, all this actually was what he said a long time ago at the very beginning of this thread, I don't know if things have changed now, op himself alone is the only one in the right position to tell us.
And if also they have started charging addicted gamblers for enrollment into the program, that I don't know, so I expect op to also address that as well.

That's actually a good idea, while they have to generate money in the cause of helping as it's business for them with a good cause. Not all are going to get by to them because of some factors including what you have pointed out. While it is going to be an exposure for the potential sponsor for this kind of service. It can be from other various sectors and industries as well and not limited to a casino only. Because while they're trying to help addicted gamblers to quit, seeing who's the sponsor of it might still give them that trigger that the help came from them and they might have a thought and obligation as a foolish reason to gamble again.

Well, from what I've learned previously about this program, I think they are actually offering the services for free,

For a few days, it is free but then after the trial period, you have to pay.

Well the idea would be great but one thing I know about humans and free things is that to some extent, people don't actually value free things that much and that's why if they see as this kind of information as free some won't even use it to not to talk about paying attention, I don't why but some people tend to pay much attention to things that are actually paid for, they it feel it gives a sense of importance.

I just looked at their website and it seems like they have a free trial for 7 days. You just need to request to them to have a free access.

As to having sponsors like an online casino, I don't think that they will do it because it's against them. I know that the intention of the website is for the gamblers to stop gambling, and if that happens, the revenue of the casino where the gambler is gambling will be affected. I mean if you're the owner, will you a sponsor something that in the future, might affect your revenue because that person might not gamble anymore? I know it sounds like inhumane, but that's how business works. Just my 2 cents only though, but I would love to see OP and the developers of the website having sponsors, but not necessary those online casinos out there.

Anyway, it's good I guess that the website has a 7-day free access for gamblers to have at least a bit of information on how to quit from gambling.

This problem really requires very large financial investments.
 I also think that the casinos themselves are unlikely to sponsor such a program.  For the casinos themselves, such sponsorship is, as they say: “to shoot oneself in the foot.” 
Sponsorship for such a noble cause must still come from some influential charitable foundations or from government organizations, of course, in compliance with the requirements of budget legislation.  Sometimes this is done through a grant system.  But this system is bad because it is, in any case, temporary funding, which usually disappears quite quickly.  These are probably the best options.

This is for gamblers who want resources on how to quit gambling I just don't know if they have better resources than what we are used to seeing on YouTube and many articles online and what they have is unique and effective although there is good feedback.
I always maintain if you want a guide or help in quitting gambling it should be personalized based on the needs of the individual, so it should be a one-on-one or a group session and physically present so assess your reaction to the method that your physician or counsel will lay out.

No thanks to the addicts, they actually brought it upon themselves due to their weakness and lack of cautiousness. Even if they are weak but are cautious, it would still have helped in guarding them so that they can continue in the quest of gambling with the pretence that they are not weak. But since they let loose of all of them altogether, they encounter more issues and that's why I don't like to pity them at times. Notwithstanding, I like to help in my own little way which is why I even want to counter what you mentioned that people do not like free things. This is not so true in my experience when I reach out to challenged people and it depends on the free things you are talking about. Besides, I have truly witnessed some people buying some products for over $2,500, I mean the products that can't serve a better purpose than what they can get for free.

Any time they hear the term "premium," which is also well-packaged, they immediately believe it is the best, but that is not particularly true. I said all that to buttress your point and show that I agree with you in a way. Nevertheless, there are many other products and services that will be issued or advertised as free and people will take them so important as though it is premium. A good example is this context of addiction, anything medical or that can fix you is always to your advantage, and once it is free and is for your advantage, why then run away from it?  That's how most people think. Whether they are qualified or not, they are offering help without a cost, so it is a very reasonable choice to give it try.

After all, they have nothing to lose in this situation. Unless the person is so rich and spoiled at the same time, I think it won't make any difference to them whether it is free or paid service.

Even on a simple google search then you would really be finding tons of sites or even with those simple feedbacks and advises that been written up on a forum or any platforms out there, but everything would really be turned out to be useless if you wont really be that making yourself that accepting on quitting gambling then you wont really be needing those things but instead you would really be just that simply quit on your own without needing anything. It would really be just that self realization and acceptance would be the key for you to unshackle yourself with gambling addiction.

Yes, this isnt something simple to be done but its not something that would really be impossible. It all matters on someones seriousness on quitting. You wont really be needing
any site or someone, or professional seek of help. On the moment that you have tried your best on quitting but still getting that win over with extreme addiction
then this is the moment you would really be considering on getting some external help.

People are different and one addicted to gambling should be treated differently from one gambler we cannot generalize behavior, some can quit on their own, some can talk it out of it and those who are extreme should be in a facility that is why governments and NGO have their centers to cure those who are addicted to gambling who have a hard time quitting.

It's good that we have different resources, and many options for gamblers who want to quit so whatever level they are in, there's always a cure and the sooner the gambler reaches out or realizes that he needs to chance to get cured the better.

Fair point. We have different root of addiction and that is important to know in able to find a suitable treatment. Some user got addicted because of social anxiety and others is due to false hope of getting rich in gambling. There’s no single formula to treat all kinds of addiction.

that is why governments and NGO have their centers to cure those who are addicted to gambling who have a hard time quitting.

Yeah, Some country like first world country usually has a lot of NGO dedicated for this since there’s a lot of backer for this cause. But this kind of services is very rare on 3rd world country since government and NGO focus is more on charity rather than addiction. Good thing that online therapy is already possible due to the existence of video call.

Yes you are right! Human thinking and self realizations would really be the key for you to be able to quit up gambling for good on which we know that this is something that will determine on how good you are
on this aspect. Yes, same as you said that a certain gambler could really be that different when it comes to behavior on which there are ones who are really that secretive and doesnt tend to share up his current condition into his loved ones and tending to solved out addiction on their own. Its hard but nothing is impossible as long you are really that willing or serious on quitting up gambling for good.
Just bare in mind that in every problem does have its own solution. It is really just that depending on how serious you would be in terms on tending to make things happen.

However, the player’s decision to quit gambling forever is a rather difficult decision that must be born and mature in the player’s brain. 
Moreover, this thought should be so strong that he could actually realize it and, indeed, as a result he would completely stop gambling.  I think that not all players can have such a strong will to implement the refusal of games.  There is always an internal opposition to the thoughts that it would be good to enjoy the game.  And the second thought is that the player is already addicted to gambling.  And which thought will win is unknown in advance.  And there is no guarantee that any refusal to play, after a month, for example, will not lead to a relapse of attraction and the cessation of attempts to get out of this addiction.
