Banned myself from all UK gambling sites

There is a website you can register at that bans you from all UK gambling websites.

I did it this morning. It will last 5 years and nothing I can do about it.

That’s very wise.

Good luck with staying away from all gambling.

You can do it!

That’s a great idea. There’s similar with Lloyds Bank i deal with. Blocks all transactions from gambling sites as well. I had a problem when i was in my twenty’s - but thankfully got over it.

I am with Lloyds bank myself. I may do that too to make absaloutly sure.

It all boils down to solipsistic thinking my gambling. Me being the only thing that exists I can therefore create my own reality and essentially win.

I only ever gamble online. So it’s good for me. It sort of feels like I’m not really spending money as opposed to using physical cash in a gambling place in town.

Sort of unrelated but I wonder if games like the roullette wheel are rigged these days. That is, determined by computers and such or if they’re purely mechanical. Back in the day slot machines used to be mechanical now they’re determined by computers so the casino decides when the payout is and how much. I wonder if the same if true with roullette etc

I blocked my card from being able to use it on gaming sites as well…but I can unblock it easily and I can use it again in 48 hours , though I haven’t done it … I’m so glad I blocked it.

Sorry Late reply - but you can block gambling sites on the app. And you have to phone up to cancel it.
