For problem gamblers it’s not the act of gambling, it’s the complete lack of control that causes the hurt.

“Highly disciplined individuals find themselves helpless and trapped whilst gambling,repeatedly making completely irrational decisions.”

How many deaths each year is gambling related harm contributing to?

Preoccupation with gambling or related debt is likely to effect many occupations.

@Pumpy_88 @GamblingHarm @EdinburghGambl1 @monzo @Barclays @iamstevegirling @GambleWithLives @whysupofficial @GamblingHurts @free_gam @AndrewNeill27 Funnily enough I just started using Apple Pay last night which allows me to purchase stuff, but at the same token doesn’t allow for cash withdrawals. So it is a good barrier. Having that set up with the Monzo card gives protection from all angles

Money
Time
Oppertunity

The three things a gambler needs, today I'm going to buy a cheap safe and put my spare money in it and give it to my mum and only she will have the code.

I'm blocked from all online sites also.

Starve yourself of these opportunities and recover

@Pumpy_88 @EdinburghGambl1 @monzo @Barclays @iamstevegirling @GambleWithLives @whysupofficial @GamblingHurts @free_gam @AndrewNeill27 Monzo are doing a fantastic job with vulnerable people (compulsive gamblers) the bank account is super slick, with some great features. You can switch on the block and it takes 48 hours to have it turned back off.The other point with mentioning is their service is world class 💪

[John O'Groats @JohnOhGroats]

Food bank deliveries done! Great to see how much stuff gets donated and the effort involved in packing and distribution, but awful that people have to rely on these services. Gonna make a point of always picking something up for the bank when I do the big shop each month!

@gondorffhenry @riracing An excellent peice of investigating, KYC seems to be about knowing who is more likely to win today or may win in the future.

Separately the same applies to self exclusion, any breach of a self exclusion should be reported to the licensing authority!

It Ain’t happening!!
