Hi, Today makes 6 days GF and it is an achievement of course but considering what I have lost I'm struggling to really feel great about it.

What is really really grinding on me at the moment is the number of Ads everywhere and even worse my phone has news alerts and in the last 2 days I have been exposed to 3 stories of desperate debt-ridden people hitting jackpot on gambling sites and receiving "life changing " amounts of money.  This should not be allowed.  The newspapers shouldn't be sharing these "good news" stories which are damaging.  My social media continues to place sponsored ads to gambling site offers it's like being hounded when I am trying to avoid a catastrophe.  

I needed to rant about this...

Dear @alkynat ,

Firstly, congratulations on six days. Well done.

Thank you for your post on the Forum. You could try to install blocking software on up to three devices (free with this link) www.gamban.com/ngh

This software will stop you receiving promotional offers, free spins and bets etc. You should also be able to block these ads from your social media by going into your settings.

In the meantime, please don't forget we are here to help, listen, advise and support you on either the netline, or the helpline 0808 802 0133.

Keep up the good work.

All the best

I’m with you on the ads! I am only 1 day gambling free. I have installed the software but I’m still getting the odd ad. It’s driving me mad:(
