Registered with Gamstop yesterday, so this is my 2nd day without gambling and I’m already looking for flaws in Gamstop. I’m thinking of money I might win but can’t because I’ve self excluded from most websites, might sound stupid but I’m thinking of Boxing Day and how it’s my fav day to gamble and now I can’t. Not a very good start to not gambling. Hope it gets easier but I doubt it.
Hi Jfield13 and welcome to the GamCare forum.
You've taken some important steps, in registering with Gamstop and now joining the forum. Sorry you're finding it a struggle, but it does get easier. If you want to make it harder for yourself to find a way around Gamstop, you might want to consider installing blocking software such as GamBan. We can give you a link which will get you 12 months of Gamban for free. Just call the HelpLine on 0808 8020 133, or chat to an adviser on the NetLine.
You might also find it helpful to chat to others in our chatrooms which are open 1pm and 8pm every day.
Do keep posting and let us know how you're getting on,
Best wishes
