Hello there, 

My name’s Joe and I’m 23 years of age. I’ve recently, just this past few years been into Slots and also table games.

But in the last month or two I’ve seen this go from being a fun thing to do in spare time to me dropping deposit after deposit on multiple sites without anything to show for it. That’s why I’m here and that’s why I’ve self excluded from all websites and also signed myself up for Gamstop. 

No one in my life knows about how much I love a gamble and also, how much I have gambled. Although it is a lot less than others, I have realised that it has became an addiction more than a fun bit of entertainment. 

I’ve probably spent around £1,000 in the last month when that’s half of what I earn and I’m now wanting to move on with life other than throwing money into a luck based game. 

I know that I’ll be able to get over this change and I’ll be striving in no time.
