Was doing really well 16 days GF then all it took was one hour when I was bored and boom I’ve lost £300. I’m trying to stay positive and start from Day 1 today

Ah good you reinstalled it..same happened to me when i had gamban

Im guessing your signed up to gamstop as well if not worth looking into and also seeing if your bank can block gambling transactions.
