⭐Let's Fight Gambling Addiction Together: Byegambling.com⭐

Well, if what they are focused on is to see how they can help addicted gamblers come out from their addiction, then I wouldn't take them to be an anti-gambling site, that's a wrong assumptions, because even casinos (reputable ones) won't hesitate to ban a user (their user) when and if they discover that the user is a problem gambler, which is their own way of helping such user to stay off gambling as a way to cure his or her addiction.

Incorrect! This site is primarily designed to help gamblers who are addicted to gambling which is why it's an anti-gambling site. Also, sites don't ban gamblers who are addicted to gambling. That makes zero sense.

They love such gamblers since they contribute productively towards their profit margins. Some sites offer self-exclusion protocols to help gamblers control their addiction.

Well, sorry but I do not agree with you, and maybe you do not understand what I meant by a problem gambler, there is a stage that addiction to gambling usually gets to, the gambler him or herself becomes not a problem to him or herself, but also a problem to the casino.
A friend of mine who was addicted to gambling at the time was banned by the casino with a message to go help free himself from gambling addiction, then he can come back, his family sents complaints to the casino, and this what lead to the casino banning him.

And to respond to the first part of your comment, this is not the first, second, third or even fourth site that is announcing their service on this board which is to help addicted gamblers, why then do you tag this one as gambling.
There is a different between a service that discourages gamblers from gambling (anti gambling service), from a service that specializes on helping gamblers who are addicted; come out from their addiction (this is not an anti-gambling service).

Online gambling de-addiction centers never work with a gambling addict. If you want to really help someone with this addiction then start a center and focus on your local area or start a call centre where an addicted individual can talk to a trained professional. Such initiative like yours are a failure as per the reports that I have read.

Talking to a professional is just a first step to stop gambling addiction, that's not what an addicted gambler needs entirely. for you to overcome this addiction you must make intentional choices and tough decisions that might be hard to keep up with, there are gamblers that seek to give up this addiction by consulting therapy alone but they don't take personal step to ensure that they don't go back to it. I agree on your point though, talking to professionals is going to be very helpful but other measures must also be put in place to avoid relapse

There are lots of topics and post that have said much about gambling addiction and should serve more better than any other site. In fact this forum covers variety of discussion which almost some site talks about, and I don't see what would be written there you wouldn't find here, and of course people talks about gambling addiction almost all days in this forum and reasonable people should be able to narrow their ways towards easily becoming addicted to gambling.

All these addictions are about money, why should it stop? Let's drop this for a minute and talk about life loses, people of this generation still do things that can get them killed because of money and if they see one comrade dead they will say it is his own end not theirs, so they will still continue the act.

There is no solution out here for gambling addiction to be limited in any way, the only solution is inside the mind of every gamblers and the beginners, to avoid getting ruined by gambling you need to discipline yourself, no one can do it for others but themselves.

If an addict want to stop the addiction he or she must force things out, break the chain and be mean to themselves about gambling, you the addicted is the only one that holds the key to unlock yourself from the gambling addiction prison.

if you want a fight then not just addiction but the whole gambling itself because its the root of addiction , letting people to gamble will always make them prone in becoming addicted .

But of course this will never happen because we are gambler and we will be gambling till last drop lol.

That’s not true in my case, so I would not agree with that. Why would we stop gambling when it’s fun? The issue isn’t gambling itself but gambling addiction. What we need to eliminate is the addiction, not gambling. I can share from my experience as a gambler that I was once addicted during my early stage, but look at me now...I’m giving advice on how to avoid addiction. I’m very proud that I overcame my addiction and can now enjoy gambling without the risk of falling back into it. The key to staying safe is simple: discipline and never prioritizing gambling over anything else.

Gambling becomes a huge problem once you start losing money, and it's not really something I see is similar to things like drugs which you take in order to make you happy, but it's more viewed as a get-rich-quick scheme that just keeps going on forever, as if that's how the odds work.

Most of these people are going to be spending the money they have on bets and losing it.

This is true though while they will potentially gain more from problem gamblers, I believe every gambling platform will also don't want to consider anything that is helping gambling addicts in overcoming their addiction at least publicly as something that's against them, in order not to seems evil to everyone including potential new/previous customers.

Exactly! Gambling sites/Casinos are businesses at the end of the day and their end-goal is profit no matter what which is why them banning problem gamblers is ludicrous and silly in so many ways.

I have heard stories of so many, many gamblers losing their entire fortunes to gambling sites thanks to them taking advantage of their addictions cleverly.

[Solosanz]

I believe there were few sites that create to combat against gambling addiction, but all of them are dead because the site didn't make any money and there are no sponsorship. So sorry to say your project might become one of them.

Usually these kind project charge fee by offering service to cure gambling addiction.

It is awful. Black color don`t add some positive thoughts. To read such stories i don`t need to visit any site - here we see enough. And i don`t think that such site can help anybody - it is to depressing.
My opinion - just forget this idea. I couldn`t find even one positive moment during the visit.

I agree its to dark and implicates something negative. Maybe they need to change it on more positive colors to light up the vibes of the reader and they don't get bothered by the black color themed in their site.

But don't know if there are other people don't like that but I guess they need to improve their site to get more better interaction. Although the intention is good and somehow its a good site to read some stories about gambling addiction. Also yeah we can read a lot of stories here, but its good that there's a site dedicated unto this discussion and for sure we can learn a lot of things from reading those stories especially if there's a lot of people share their experience.

I don`t think so. These stories tell us about gamblers addicts and nothing more. We don`t get any useful information from it. If we open recommendations - it becomes even more awful than stories. Just look at it: "I`m alone i have no one"; "I can`t tell my family about it". I don`t  see any positive advice here. The same time how it looks on the page: 1. I have a family. 2. I don`t have a family. 3. I have a family, but i can`t tell them about it.
I watched several minutes before i understood what the author wanted to say.

Do you gamble every day? Once a week? Once a month? The frequency doesn’t matter. If you gamble, you will inevitably develop an increasing addiction.

Your website starts with this text and I can't agree with you on this statement. On average, I gamble once a month, sometimes I'll gamble for a week and not touch a casino for a year, sometimes a year will pass and I won't even open a casino link. I want to say that I gamble when I want to have this fun and mood elevation that I get from the casino. Now I gamble once every two weeks on Metawin and I don't feel addicted. I have gambled since 2016 and never ever in my life have I got addicted to it. So, it's not true when you say that you'll inevitably develop an increasing addiction over time if you gamble despite the fact of frequency.

Do you offer a psychological help? You claim that a team with experience in gambling addiction created this platform. If you don't offer psychological help, I suggest you hire qualified and experienced psychologists, record videos about gambling addiction, share them online via social media and communicate with big casinos and offer your help.

I did it. I tell what i see on the first screen. It is first opinion i get from your site. I don`t have problems with gambling, but what see someone with depression? Black color and negative articles. How can it help to leave gambling? The first idea is suicide. Is it your purpose?

We will surely lose money once we become addicted, as that means we are not disciplined anymore. We can win from the start, but since we don't know how to stop, eventually we will lose everything. That's something we can learn, and actually, losing experiences do not automatically trigger addiction. It's the greediness and being unrealistic, thinking we can't lose, and once we chase our losses we will be able to come back on top. Our inability to accept defeat triggers addiction, but if we accept that we have losing and winning days, then things will be fine.

I have visited the site above, as you said the black template may need to be improved to accommodate motivational content that has a template concept with bright dominant colors and an attractive web appearance, but I did not read the entire content on the website and if the content is filled with negative articles then he needs to revise his articles. However, if he aims to open a discussion space on the web, but we already have this forum that already carries many threads for discussions against gambling addiction and other negative aspects of gambling.

Gambling addiction is not what we should take as easy like that, some are finding it more difficult to control their self over the influence of being addicted in gambling because some some level of addiction could not just only work by mere reading of articles, but they needed a physical attention and control measures to help them get over it, in these case, some may be referred to consult for a therapist while some at the early stage could easily find their way through by recommended platforms like this.

I know that there may be other similar platforms like yours nevertheless I just want to add that it is very thoughtful or you and the team to have come up with something like this. I strongly believe that no matter how little the help and support for gamblers struggling with addiction it would go a long way eventually in helping them quit. Which may not have happened immediately as we expect but it would build up in the future together with other interventions. The only problem that this platform may encounter is getting the gamblers to click on the link and share their experience. Now over to you how do you and your team think they can get the attention of the target group.

Some gamblers are ashamed to ask help but if your site can at least assist them in combating their addiction, why not? Some of them are just silently lurking to find ways how to address their addiction. So this may be a good avenue for them especially if all the services are free.

Do you think addiction can be eliminated entirely from gamblers?
Don't you think that the way people gets into addiction so easily is the cause of their curiosity to earn some certain amount while gambling. Before we could talk of fighting addiction lets first of all fight Greed; this is the major reason why people are getting into addiction and anyone who can control this can actually not easily gets into addictions.

What do you think about this? 

I think you are oversimplifying the issue. Greed indeed plays an important role but many people who are addicted to gambling have other addictions as well, such as alcohol and/or cocaine, and in these we cannot say that greed plays any role. They may have to do with problems carried over from childhood, traumatic events not overcome, problems of social adaptability and a lot of factors that cannot be reduced only to the greed.

The important thing is that people who want to overcome it have the tools to do so, and I think this initiative is a good one.
