QuitGamble.com - Free Help for Problem Gamblers

[xLays]

the site looks interesting. But the main thing i don`t like that i need to register. And everywhere i see the button of registration. And i can`t test site totally without registration.
It is possible that there are lots of opportunities after registration and i think that at least part of them really need registration(like different challenges). But the same time i must have an opportunity to use some services without registration - i don`t like it. So i just looked at the site and closed it.

I see your point. Pure waste of time. And it can be frustrating when you're required to register just to explore a website. While registration can offer benefits websites should allow users to access some features without it to make the initial experience more user-friendly.

If they really want to help us they don't need us to register IMO.

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!

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.

I have seen further awareness spring about in the progress of the last year, which is great. Both here, and offline. You are absolutely right in saying that in the past, addicts seemed like they were just weak people with no one else to blame but themselves. .however I think it's becoming more and more clear that gambling and different games can effect different personalities in different ways. They may not necessarily realize this until reflection (if even progressed to this point) which by then, is too late

I hope that this project can help to make people realize the consequences sooner, whether it be through support or third party experience.

[Dunamisx]

One thing is having a free platform that we can get the best advice as resources to help tackle every of our gambling challenges, but another thing is having the determination that we want to make use of these various opportunities to help effect our gambling experience for our own sake and benefits, it's so annoying when one is left helpless in using a casino when the contact system aren't giving the necessary attention to guide through.

Addiction is more complicated than weakness. Far more complexity exists. The games, the lights, the action - all of these are meant to lure in certain types of people in different ways. It's a serious matter, and the consequences might be disastrous.

Though, it's frequently too late, I think reflection is essential. We've all witnessed it, including you and me. I'm fighting for initiatives that offer both immediate support and awareness-raising because of this. Not only should the implications be explained to people, but they need also be demonstrated to them and effectively engaged before it's too late. Real stories told in virtual reality, interactive platforms simulating the downward spiral of gambling addiction - immersive, unavoidable experiences - are what I mean. Prevention is the key, not just intervention.

This is something very positive and it's good that you came here and can make all this available to everyone, from what I see the guides are very necessary for people who are entering the world of online casinos with crypto and have many doubts, it is always good to contribute in order to be well everything necessary to be able to establish the best for us, regarding the guides and advice that you show that is something that can be very helpful, it would be excellent to be able to provide images and hearing so that the people who have porbelma with the game you can see that there is something very interesting like addiction to the game. Always whatever it is for gambling addiction is fundamental, and all this has to do with the best of all options to do, in this order of ideas I must go because now I have seen that in the forum there is a growing number of topics that point to gambling addiction and it is an issue that has to be addressed if possible in every day that there are casinos and games, because I can see that things like this coincide with respect to addiction, because I think that there are many players who are suffering game addiction

Well, gambling addiction is something that must be treated as soon as possible so that something like a better method can be established so that people can help themselves and for free without the need for medication, without the need to call psychologists where It is charged per case, and even though each case is my own, what matters is that everyone gets rid of their addiction, this is something that should always be done, any advice or any guide for addiction is good because of some thing is being attacked and it is a way to cure it, everything is welcome, also we do not know how many people who are from the forum are with this, how many people who read the forum and are not members of the forum but enter as guests to read, we do not know As many people can be helped in an important way, a guide or any method is always well accepted.

True, I agree with what guys are saying, how can a person who visits their website be attracted or interested in their website if the person can't access some features of the website, I know there is informations in the front website but it still not enough to atrract people or players, ok let's say someone got interested but he need to login first it is a bit hassles and we know users tend to be bored because they need to do something before they view what attracted them, I get it its easy to register but still if you know how to attract players for your website then at the front page of your website you will put something that will make them register right away, or because of their curiosity they will register to your website or app, text is not enough to attract people, as some are too lazy to read long texts so the effective way to attract them is by using graphics, pictures that is example in your website. You have to do more when it comes to attracting players to your website.

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 +4400 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, and soon 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!

I just took a look at the website and I was very impressed! I hope this will help a lot of gambling addicts get over their addiction, forever. I think the main thing they need is someone who helps them and supports them. If you were to integrate a support-community into your entire QuitGamble concept, then you would definitely improve the website and your chances of helping addicted people.

The reason I say this is because in my experience, addicts need a support community to distract themselves and to help others by distracting them and pulling them away from the world of gambling.

I do not see any big problems with registration if they do not ask much of your personal information. You can use any random or a no use email to register and get access to what they offer if you really need it.
Think about it, even the bitcointalk forum requires that you register to enjoy the main benefits of the forum, else you will be in read-only mode.
I like the website because they recognise that there is gambling problem and they want to solve it. That is a good one...

Every approach have it own negative impact and the positive impact, and i don't think gamblers should be allowed to test run all the features in the casino, without having an account in the same casino, this is why some of them will only allow you access only when you are a member.


This is the reason why, they always give welcome bonuses to players to keep them motivated to stay with the casino once they create an account.

I get your point about registering account on casino. But Man what the heck are you saying? This isn't a casino; it's a website that cares about your gambling addiction. I know you have a signature campaign quota since we're in the same campaign. Did you really read the OP or even the title thread before replying? I was thinking that you thought this is another a casino website. Right?

[Hispo]

It's so annoying when one is left helpless in using a casino when the contact system aren't giving the necessary attention to guide through.

It is mostly because agencies which are supposed to help people with problems like alcoholism, drug abuse, suicide ideation and gambling addiction are commonly unfunded, since most of them are non-profit organizations. That kind of entities mostly rely on donations and rarely get active funding from the government. So for example, of there are 100 people who are addicted to gambling and need counseling, the organization (in order to manage their limited services in a wise way) only hire 4 operators to take care of the questions and problems of those 100 gamblers who are seeking help.
The result is obvious, many (if not all) of those gambler will feel neglected by the system they attend to for help.
That is why I personally believe the most important thing to have when facing these problems is a good relationship with family and friends, to supplement the counseling one could get, public or private.

[vv181]

The whole thing is such a nice initiative. Your reasoning about responsible gambling is also on point, it won't affect at all if someone is already addicted. It's a completely different problem, and here you are making a movement trying to fix that issue.

What is also nice is that you spread the content for free, though upon looking at the About page, this is a pretty ambitious project. I wonder how would you monetize this site because I believe this might cost some money. By the way, personally, I look at your website UI is cluttered. Have you considered redesigning your current site or does it just work wonderfully in terms of user analytics and their experiences?

[so98nn]

The feedback is: that your site is just awesome. The platform is tailored right with good sections from self-exclusion to various topics on how to get rid of gambling addiction. I never imagined that I would stumble upon such a website and there is such a high need to have the platform to take us away from the addiction. Truly, we need this because some crowd can't control themselves. I have seen peeps going nuts over their losses so much as they went on investing more money to recover that lost money but ended up in a loop where they are just putting their in but getting nothing back. They do not play straight or with open mind, but they play with emotions, loose money in the process and there is no way to stop it as long as they don't help themselves from that additocio.

I think that is what "self exlsuion" is all about in your website.

I am seeing few blogs that are really fun to read and think on, never thought Sex drive the gambling addiction. That really caught my eye. Lolz. Your blog section is definitely worth reading.

Thanks for such platform. Hope so it gets published a lot.

There are no problems with registration. But i don`t want to register. At least i don`t want to leave any data for unknown site. I get enough spam letters yet to add some more. And without registration i can`t see anything interesting except several videos. Everybody can choose himself to register and test site, or just leave it. The OP asked feedback - he got it.

I think the data they get from the registration is the only thing that they can get from providing free access or free guide on how to quit gambling. Most of us will put dummy details into the registration form to achieve anonymity and I don't see a problem with that but I think the developers are thinking to use the data to improve their contents and monitor the flow of users in their application. The website has a good intention and I think that a few minutes and false information is enough for us to get contents on how to quit gambling.

The gamblers are the sole factors that will determine how successful this service can perform and we have such platforms that provide gamblers with  the tools for expanding gambling excesses, and also making sure that we come out clean with all our approaches towards those things that have negative impact on our general well being so for that, the gambler is in the right position to determine which one and when he apply them, so the main thing still lies with the gambler to decide when and where those  tool can be applied since the decision to either quit or restrict your gambling activities to safe you from one thing or the other that have presented a negative outcome for the gambler.

How can the agencies regulate gambling, this is beyond their power or reach, they may try to but it's not an easy thing to make regulations in this kind of situations, the agencies cannot be responsible for the way we gamble, wether to our own advantage or not they don't care, they only work to apprehend those found abusing or violating the ethics of gambling by getting engaged in any of the above mentioned characters.

Gambling addiction is something that cant really be that something that would be resolved out. Professional services about gambling addiction is something that we do know that they do exist
and there are indeed gamblers who are making use of those services or paying up just to make themselves getting out of addiction but actually there's no other way or method
that would help us out on able to quit up gambling but rather we would really be that have that will on stopping on point. Its a matter of discipline and control
when it comes to this manner.

If there are some services which do offer free service for these gambling addicts then this is something which is really that commendable.
We do know that giving out some guides or counseling does really consume up time and resource and effort on which giving out
or having it for free is something that good to look at somehow.

I haven`t try it. But i don`t sure that everything is like it looks. If they just want to help and give you such content for free - they don`t need to make us register. And i think that at least i will get spam messages.
And i repeat it one more time. You can register if you want, it is your decision. I don`t want to register, it is my decision. We both can choose what to do ourselves. It is my feedback for the OP. He can change something or not, it is his decision.

If you are providing a dummy personal details, one thing is certain, and that is the fact that the email address you provide must be a valid one, as you will have to verify the email before your registration can be considered as valid.
And based on what I think, it's the email address that the site is after, since they will never ask you to kyc or anything like that, the email address is what they need.

So, if at all you are signing up, you don't have much a choice but to provide a valid email, since that is also the only way you can receive contents they send out to their users to help them gamble, you either do this or don't register at all.

And besides, what is the essence of using or registering on the site if you are not addicted to gambling? I personal believe that gamblers who are indeed addicted will not give registration on the site a second thought, as long as its solution that will help them come out from their addiction they are after.
