QuitGamble.com - Free Help for Problem Gamblers

The Australian example is only an example of the wise behavior of state agencies regarding control of one of the most sensitive sectors in the economic fabric.  In addition to the large percentages that the state deducts from the profits of these companies, the sector also provides important operational capacity and creates jobs.  The real stake for the state remains in its ability to balance the profits made by the sector and the repercussions it causes.  The gambling industry does not cost the state as much as the cigarette or liquor industry because it is forced to provide health support institutions for those affected by them, while for gambling addicts their health care does not require a large cost since they are affected psychologically and not physically.

You forget that smoking causes both physical and mental problems. Trying to differentiate physical and mental problem isn't possible because they both work cheek by jowls in running the body system. The brain helps the functionalities of the body and vice versa. An injured person can't think straight forward, due to pains. Same for a mentally disabled person. He can hurt his body and also feel disheartened. None is good for any human or better than the other problem. What is important, is reducing the high rate of mentally disabled people in the society, especially, those caused by gambling. As the number of gamblers increase a lot in the society. In addition, any form of illness officially mandates lots of money, not minding the type of illness. Saying the government should focus more on physically ill people over mentally ill citizens, isn't completely proper. The only abstract thing in both affected corporeality, is that mentally ill person; addicted gambler can stay unnoticed. Hence, making the process of tracing him difficult by the government. Unlike a physically ill person, that must be noticed immediately by everyone around them. Addiction takes time before society realizes the problem of the gamblers. I don't think anything, should be the reason why one side of the party won't be helped by the government. So, if the government use the money generated via gambling to tackle addicts and then tobacco money for affected smokers.  

Well, I don't know in the other Countries , but when it is about what I live it is not so. They can charge all the taxes that they are queir, and yes, they tell you that they will help health, sport, whatever, but they do not, that money is for them, and they are replable to make their face, But at least in this country it is not so, so there are many countries that Prohibit casinos , games of chance for this to prevent addicted people and the Solution is not that , it is not prohibit , it is quite the Opposite, to Leave and that People take their Responsibility , the fact that a country Prohibits games of Chance just for protection is a lie , and then much Less the taxes that a Government can Subtract from a casino is a lie that will use them for the benefit of addicts, in The personal I have always thought that the most legal Countries for these Things are the most prosperous, Switzerland, Nordic Countries , which are Countries  that pay anything in taxes because they have such a high quality of life that they can Do.

In this order of Ideas things Should be Worldwide , but they are not, because the rulers we have, they are very bad, just seeing the fact that is happening in the USA there is a war between candidates, Trump makes war , to others too, there is no longer a clean contest where the best wins, but the one that can step on the other and pass over it taking Advantage of the same Power they have , so these Kinds of things are those that should be avoided at all costs, We are people who at any time can we say that politics is the exit to this? No, neither politicians nor politicians are the solution to problems in the world, the casinos that prohibit them, and to help them a government? No, in a casino people who are wrong must first accept that they are Adding and if they have the money they Should put into treatment with a psychologist who helps him, he will not be able to do unless he has a great willpower, that is what What more helps.

Anyways we need platforms like QuitGamble etc so that people keep reminding themselves of the dark side of it and remain in balance while gambling.

Any platform as long as it is free and provided to help gamblers play responsibly and be wiser will be better, especially if they succeed in stopping their gambling addiction. This site will always be used by those who need it, usually gambling addicts who have almost given up and have no other way. To get out, they definitely need a platform like this to be able to slowly reduce their bad habits.

Many gamblers have been abandoned by their families and even lost their families, so maybe this platform will help a little to reduce their dependence on gambling a little so that they can recover little by little from their bad gambling habits. So this kind of site is definitely needed by many gambling addicts and gamblers, even though it is not completely helpful, at least try to start using this platform so that it can get better.

Prohibition policies were not useful in any way in reducing the spread of addiction among gamblers, especially since gambling activity can be practiced on any game locally without the need at all for the presence of the state or one of its institutions to regulate. For example, I live in a conservative country whose religion is Islam, which is considered one of the most important sources of legislation. Although the Islamic religion clearly prohibits all gambling activities, the state regulates the sector and benefits fully from its revenues without even bothering to take care of addicts.

Anyways we need platforms like QuitGamble etc so that people keep reminding themselves of the dark side of it and remain in balance while gambling.

After gambling, when everyone who's on the dark side will come to realize that they can't do it alone if they want to quit already. With services like quitgamble and others that are the same in existence.

They're the ones helping the gamblers who don't have any solution for their current problem and they can't face it on their own.

Having guides like qg is going to help them the need that they should have for them to overcome gambling problems that's hard to deal if done alone.

[EluguHcman]

OP I agree with you specification that you dont relate to any other category forms of gambling aside "Quit Gambling" which is your aim. This singular motive would enhance your professionalism to meeting up the the addition gamblers goals to quitting gambling.
I can also imagine such as World health organization (WHO) saying smokers are liable to die young yet they give the authorizations to producing same cigarettes.

I am impressed of your objectives but I have no interest in your aim because I am not a victim of the gambling addicts and I don't want to quit gambling yet. 😆
I see how anti-gambling you are but hope you could dependently make relieved to those who are indeed in-need to quit gambling because there are whole lot of them roaming waywardly around the streets.

I would love to ask OP, I personally haven't about this your system but it is a welcomed so I am concerned to ask if you can conventionally make it better known by creating awareness in both online's and offlines maybe some sorts of seminars may help which you can also function as well better in a physical rapporting with clients or addicted victims of I may suggest.

People will not learn a lesson unless they try to experience the worst thing happened in their life that's why we see a lot of people fail on things they do especially on gambling where they think the money is fast. They always think about its easy for them to get rich that's why they got a wrong information installed in their mind and when they face the real scenarios happening there they lose so much and can't control their self anymore since they want to gamble more so they can recover back their losses and to earn huge because they think if they are consistent they became a good gambler later on.

And then they failed and get hook to much that's why its good to have good platforms where we can go if we want to seek some help and also the support of family is really important so that we can get away with this addiction then get back to our normal life.

Yes, that is the reality of life that if you tell people to avoid certain things, they won't listen to you but when they themselves get the losses from such acts, only then they will realize their mistake. This is also very common in gambling. You keep on telling the gamblers to be responsible and not be greedy but the gamblers won't listen. They will only realize that we were right when they will face the loses and learn that whatever was told to them was right.

Anyways we need platforms like QuitGamble etc so that people keep reminding themselves of the dark side of it and remain in balance while gambling.

A person can change his habits only when he realizes that he is doing something wrong. And because of that he is suffering a lot. But gambling is something that does not allow a person to anticipate his losses and instead tempts him to become rich. Because of this, a gambler does not want to easily accept gambling as bad. They also gamble regularly and dream of winning big. Because of this they are not ready to listen to good advice from others. So I am unsure if any site can help someone out of their gambling addiction

[fullhdpixel]

And in this sense, gambling can probably even be compared to some extent with a very strict and unforgiving teacher. 
And by the way, many of us probably remember our teachers who were really strict, but also fair.  I even think that any person, becoming an adult, often remembers just such teachers who really taught him something useful in life and taught him well becaase of rigor and fairness. 
I think that gambling can be considered a strict and fair teacher in a broad philosophical sense.

To a great extend, I agree with you, we can as well also compare or liken gambling to life itself, and this because life is a brutal and unforgiving teacher, life is ready to teach a man as many times as he or she needs to learn, and she doesn't care how much you have lost, or how difficult the lesson is, she will continue to you brutally without mercy until you learn.

Same also is gambling, for a gambler who fail to properly learn how to participate in gambling without getting involved in problems, such a gambler will keep encountering problems in gambling until he or she learns to gamble responsibly.

Though it's true, it's unfortunate that a lot of people are so stubborn that they don't stop until they ruin their lives and lose everything because of gambling, or get themselves stuck in a circle of loan repayments because of borrowing a lot of money for their gambling activities. They only realize their mistakes after it's all over for them, and they don't have anywhere to go anymore and that's why they can't continue to gamble as there are no funds for that.

A human being is created with a mind, that gives it the ability to think and understand things, but it ignores everything that comes in front of it only to continue doing what is ruining them slowly. I feel very sad for people who don't learn when they make a mistake for the first time or the first few times.

When it comes to humans,  the most difficult thing is to advise them outside their own life experiences and as such it has to do with a lot of time and what comes their way as individuals what they choose to believe in and whatever,  most times the individuals chose to believe whatever they chose to and at the same time we must choose what choices and what are their possible outcomes.

All this need to be considered while making decisions on what we take as risk and what to expect along the line,  for sure personal face hand experience is far more better than telling someone because of third-party experiences it doesn't work that way and as far as I know everyone needs to make a choice based of the information that they have gained.

If I understand you correctly, then I would have to say that first hand experiences arent always the best way to learn, first hand experience have put some people in their early grave, they never had what we can term as a second Chance, second chance is expensive, not every one is given the grace to have it, this is why we must learn to learn from other people's experiences, and not wait until something happens to us before we learn.

It is commonly said that, a wise person learns from the experiences of others people, he does not wait for something to happen to him before he learns, he simply draws knowledge and wisdom from what he have seen or heard happen to other people, this is something I think I've talked about here countless of times.

In gambling, it's important to pay attention to other people's experiences, for there is a lot of lesson to learn from there, we should not wait until something (maybe bad) happens to us before we learn, for doing so could be dangerous, like I said before, not everyone who waited to learn from first hand experiences had the opportunity of correcting themselves after the first first hand experience came.

You're right because if prohibition could have been the way out to solve every gambling addiction then those that would have first supported this are the governments, because they wouldn't want the people to be that involved in gambling, meanwhile that is not the problem about addiction in general, people also get addicted to other things aside gambling such as alcohol, food, women and other pleasurable things around us, so using prohibition policy is like stopping gambling itself all because of addiction which is impossible.

Not all people don't listen, only foolish people dare to try their luck and never listen to advice of other people.  There are some people who are wise enough to learn from the experiences of others. Now the question would be which of these two kind of people do we bleong?

As we can see there are also many gamblers that are not having difficulty with their finances.  This is because these gamblers are able to distinguish the right things to do by learning from others experience.  Yes people have the capability to learn from other experience, only foolish ones are not becaue they keep on insisting their own thing even if it will cost them financial damages.

but this is gambling mate, people use to gamble everything and in any way as some gambles their money while others gambled their lives .

we have seen how many lives have wasted just because of wrong decisioning and wrong path in gambling but that is their faith , let us change ours now or become like them sooner.

The most clear examples of all of this can be found if you succeed in finding statistics on gambling activities in countries whose laws completely prohibit the practice of these activities, and which are always countries that derive their laws from the Islamic system of positive rulings that clearly forbid gambling. The rates of gambling activities in these countries will be high compared to the laws that are supposed to prevent this. Of course, we will not hear about any cases of pathological addiction, and therefore we will not hear about any role that the state can play in that.

People would only realize when its too late but earlier than that then they wouldnt really listen on what are those advises or sayings or suggestions about quitting or having that moderation with gambling.
It is really just that a normal scenario that tons of gamblers who do completely only stop on the time that they are experiencing those bad situations and making out regrets but it is already too late.
Gambling wont really be ending up on a huge problem if you do really just that make yourself that responsible or having really t hat good control. People do usually mess up on the time that they do make out those bad decisions just because of wrong assumptions. Somewhat there are groups,org., professionals who do offer out gambling addiction but just like been said that the main solution
to this is on having that self acceptance and would really be that willing to quit up gambling on point.

I've seen even alot of people in other religions that forbid gambling just as from the example you made and yet the people under this same religious beliefs engaged in gambling because they don't personally see gambling as something bad than a means of having fun, we have to got the real idea out of things like this, it's not about the law, government, culture or customs, but the way we personally see something as being good or bad for our own benefits.

I agree with that bro. Thumbs up to all the platforms that are promoting this kind of service. Quitting to gamble is not easy and I like what he said about they will not talk about "responsible gambling", that should be the case. Only quitting is the best choice for an addicted gambler to stop.
I quit smoking by not being a responsible smoker, I just quit it all of a sudden while I am thinking about my kids. Questions like, "What if they get sick because of me?" It's a bad habit because of the 2nd hand smell which has a worse effect for those who will inhale it.
I think it's the same with gambling addiction, we cannot say we will just have 1-5 bets per day in a casino game, that's BS. There will always be a chance that we ain't stopping until we get our losses or we are feeling lucky and we want to continue playing the game.
Quitting must be firm, unwavering and once we stop there's no going back. 4 years I am not smoking anymore and my health is better.

The Australian example is only an example of the wise behavior of state agencies regarding control of one of the most sensitive sectors in the economic fabric.  In addition to the large percentages that the state deducts from the profits of these companies, the sector also provides important operational capacity and creates jobs.  The real stake for the state remains in its ability to balance the profits made by the sector and the repercussions it causes.  The gambling industry does not cost the state as much as the cigarette or liquor industry because it is forced to provide health support institutions for those affected by them, while for gambling addicts their health care does not require a large cost since they are affected psychologically and not physically.

You forget that smoking causes both physical and mental problems. Trying to differentiate physical and mental problem isn't possible because they both work cheek by jowls in running the body system. The brain helps the functionalities of the body and vice versa. An injured person can't think straight forward, due to pains. Same for a mentally disabled person. He can hurt his body and also feel disheartened. None is good for any human or better than the other problem. What is important, is reducing the high rate of mentally disabled people in the society, especially, those caused by gambling. As the number of gamblers increase a lot in the society. In addition, any form of illness officially mandates lots of money, not minding the type of illness. Saying the government should focus more on physically ill people over mentally ill citizens, isn't completely proper. The only abstract thing in both affected corporeality, is that mentally ill person; addicted gambler can stay unnoticed. Hence, making the process of tracing him difficult by the government. Unlike a physically ill person, that must be noticed immediately by everyone around them. Addiction takes time before society realizes the problem of the gamblers. I don't think anything, should be the reason why one side of the party won't be helped by the government. So, if the government use the money generated via gambling to tackle addicts and then tobacco money for affected smokers.  

Well, I don't know in the other Countries , but when it is about what I live it is not so. They can charge all the taxes that they are queir, and yes, they tell you that they will help health, sport, whatever, but they do not, that money is for them, and they are replable to make their face, But at least in this country it is not so, so there are many countries that Prohibit casinos , games of chance for this to prevent addicted people and the Solution is not that , it is not prohibit , it is quite the Opposite, to Leave and that People take their Responsibility , the fact that a country Prohibits games of Chance just for protection is a lie , and then much Less the taxes that a Government can Subtract from a casino is a lie that will use them for the benefit of addicts, in The personal I have always thought that the most legal Countries for these Things are the most prosperous, Switzerland, Nordic Countries , which are Countries  that pay anything in taxes because they have such a high quality of life that they can Do.

Prohibition policies were not useful in any way in reducing the spread of addiction among gamblers, especially since gambling activity can be practiced on any game locally without the need at all for the presence of the state or one of its institutions to regulate.

Although the Islamic religion clearly prohibits all gambling activities, the state regulates the sector and benefits fully from its revenues without even bothering to take care of addicts.

Prohibition policies in gambling could work, but they are often weak or not properly tailored, and the enforcement of the existing ones is even weak due to the government's unwillingness. Government has so much power and if they really want to enforce a policy, they will do it, but because of the lack of will or the revenue they are earning from it as you said, they will turn a blind eye. However, government or not, we all have key roles to play in our lives and even in the society, there are responsibilities that we are saddled to perform to ourselves to be useful for ourselves if not for our society. The government can't do everything for us and I do not think parents, friends and society can do that for us either, we need to be cautious where necessary and be a reasonable and responsible fellow. Everyone must know right from wrong and must force themselves to do what is right always. This is just the way we must know our limits in everything so that it will not cause unforeseeable issues in the future.

In other words, if the government and external forces cannot curtail you through policies and enforcement, you should curtail yourself for your own good, and for that of your society.

Government has so much power and if they really want to enforce a policy, they will do it, but because of the lack of will or the revenue they are earning from it as you said, they will turn a blind eye. However, government or not, we all have key roles to play in our lives and even in the society, there are responsibilities that we are saddled to perform to ourselves to be useful for ourselves if not for our society. The government can't do everything for us and I do not think parents, friends and society can do that for us either, we need to be cautious where necessary and be a reasonable and responsible fellow. Everyone must know right from wrong and must force themselves to do what is right always. This is just the way we must know our limits in everything so that it will not cause unforeseeable issues in the future.

In other words, if the government and external forces cannot curtail you through policies and enforcement, you should curtail yourself for your own good, and for that of your society.

It's true that the government creates policies but often fails to implement them. What if the government took a proactive approach, integrating policy and education? Imagine a strong educational effort on gambling risks and responsible play alongside stricter enforcement. This dual strategy may lead to a more informed society where people know right from wrong and how to carry on the addictive world of gambling

Personal willpower is crucial to resisting gambling. The psychological appeal of gambling must also be considered. We could also promote self-regulation and mindfulness in our culture. Could community support groups or gambling psychology education be helpful? A community that encourages self-awareness and responsible gambling may help us address this issue on a personal and societal level

Anyways we need platforms like QuitGamble etc so that people keep reminding themselves of the dark side of it and remain in balance while gambling.

Any platform as long as it is free and provided to help gamblers play responsibly and be wiser will be better, especially if they succeed in stopping their gambling addiction. This site will always be used by those who need it, usually gambling addicts who have almost given up and have no other way. To get out, they definitely need a platform like this to be able to slowly reduce their bad habits.

Many gamblers have been abandoned by their families and even lost their families, so maybe this platform will help a little to reduce their dependence on gambling a little so that they can recover little by little from their bad gambling habits. So this kind of site is definitely needed by many gambling addicts and gamblers, even though it is not completely helpful, at least try to start using this platform so that it can get better.

If this particular thought about this site possible then I think, every gambler whether an addict or not should actually try as much as possible to actually visit this site because most of the so called addict didn't just start up and became addicts you know, they actually went through a process and I believe that if other gamblers can start early and involved themselves in the activity of the sites of which will yield positive results then it would be beneficial to the gambling community alot.

You are very correct, I have to agree with you, we often say that prevention is much better than looking for a cure, this simply means that, it is absolutely better to prevent a possible bad thing from happening, than allowing it to happen, then afterwards, start lookin for a solution.

It is much better to prevent getting addicted to gambling, much better than allowing oneself get addicted and then after, start looking for a cure. So, for the hardcore gamblers, it is a good advice for them to from time to time visit sites like this as a way of being precucious of the possiblity of gambling addiction, and also as a prevention.
