When gambling addicts blame the gaming companies
I have every sympathy when someone addicted to gambling realises they have a problem and ask for help. But that sympathy disappears when they put all the blame on the gaming companies and even suggest all online gaming is banned.
There are so many different "safer gambling tools" that you can turn on, along with the constant advice to only stake what you can afford to lose and don't chase losses.
You can set weekly or monthly deposit limits. That's one I use.
You can set stake limits. I use that one on Tombola so that I don't see bingo tickets costing over 10p.
You can also get a pop up reminder if you have been online over 60 minutes telling you to take a break.
If you really need help stopping, you can ban yourself from even being able to login for any period of time.
I also have my own rule, I only gamble on odd days.
