tonygold123 Posted 18 April, 2017 Posted 18 April, 2017 I used to enjoy playing slots as some of you already know I used to do only small bets like between 10p & 50p but I started to up my bets to £25+ a spin and had to stop so I closed all my accounts also if I didn't I know thing wold have got out of hand very very quickly I did this before and lost £35.000 in the space of 2 Months and took a break then for 2 years but at that time I didn't close my accounts so the temptation was there I have now closed all my accounts permanently so there is no temptation there I Admins on here like NickSlots Letsgiveitaspin & David Labowsky have been so helpful also I really enjoy watching them stream it really helps me by giving me my fix watching someone else play I have also put a Program on my Laptop and Phone Called GamBlock which stops all gambling sites it is a quiet expensive one of payment but worth it in the long run also GamCare are a brilliant organisation they really do help you. Stay Safe if you think things are getting to much Stop and close your accounts.

Nicola Posted 18 April, 2017 Posted 18 April, 2017 Thanks Tony for sharing your story. I agree with your comments on Gamcare, a brillant charity who I personally donate a percentage of my aff income too via the Responisble Gambing Trust. I feel next year when the UKGC bring in the multi-exclude option, it will help people like yourself as you will never be able to gamble again no matter how you try to get around it.
David Labowsky Posted 19 April, 2017 Posted 19 April, 2017 Respect Tony. We all have flaws. Takes a wise man to see 'm, a courageous man to admit 'm, and a strong man to act upon them. Respect.
Slotplayer Posted 19 April, 2017 Posted 19 April, 2017 You did the absolute right thing. You stopped before things started to really escalate out of control. The amount of money that you lost is the equivalent to a years wages and some. You are now on the straight and narrow. From an (ex) streamers point of view, it is good to know that streaming slot play helps. It may not work for everybody watching slots but it is a tool that can be used in combination of closing casino accounts, installing anti gambling software and more importantly a dose of will power.
Slotspinner Posted 19 April, 2017 Posted 19 April, 2017 Cheers Tony, youre always a nice person to everyone really i wish you the best luck on your Road sir!
