I have been reading some experiences on the website and took a note from one of the logs to have myself voluntarily excluded from all local casinos. It took 30 minutes with an average phone call length of 1 minute to 20 casinos, but I have now convinced myself that I can no longer gamble. I know on some level this is not accurate, and that I could probably still get away with gambling at a number of casinos if I don’t log in to my players club because they don’t usually ask for id, but I don’t know WHICH ones I could get away with it at. I think I have established another layer of prevention from gambling.
katsParticipantHi, R4C, I’m really glad to read about someone successfully staving off the gambling urge for 102 days, that is a huge deal! If you can do it, I feel like I can do it. I was fortunate enough to have a really negative experience with online gambling the first time I tried it during the pandemic. I used a disreputable website and they billed hundreds of dollars to my card that I didn’t authorize. As a result, after having the dispute settled through my bank, I have a strong aversion to online gambling. I am currently only susceptible to gambling in person, at video poker machines. I hope this information isn’t triggering, it’s hard for me to find a balance between sharing and triggering. I am really proud of you, keep up the good work. I really hope I hit 102 days and beyond!
