Do you believe in the reinsertion of ex-gambling addicts in a society with such an exposed gambling public?

I think it's an interesting question among the many games and advertisements we have today 

There are always people who are more vulnerable than others so I would say yes, if you have experience with gambling addiction and you see great bonuses for casinos or sportsbetting in TV, the probability is higher that you start betting/playing again.

That's an interesting question! Well, I think there's a possibility especially after they've gotten professional help. Gambling addiction is a serious thing, but these people should be given another chance

Τα σκανδάλη είναι διαφορετικά ανά άτομο και συγγένεια, αλλά ο εθισμός παραμένει εθισμός και έτσι σας συνοδεύει καθ 'όλη τη διάρκεια της ζωής σας. Το να μάθω να το αντιμετωπίζω σε ένα μέτριο και μεσαίο επίπεδο μου φαίνεται το καλύτερο για το casual gamer, ή πραγματικά να κάνω το κόψιμο με τα υποχρεωτικά high rollers και να μαθαίνω ή να εκτιμώ την ποιότητα ζωής που επιστρέφει όταν σταματάς να παίζεις.

My brother was a gambling addict and advertisement sometimes really trigger him. He wanted to play pc games instead but in NBA2020 it was the gambling section once again. Too many triggers in modern life.

And I personally like to get lottery tickets and check out how lucky I am. I usually buy toto online because it's the fastest way to get them. Honestly, I think that TV advertisements about lotteries really trigger me to buy them and I don't really know how to fix that problem.

Wow? 😲 Are there really possibilities to gamble in PC game like NBA? Never heard about it. I've only heard about different skins in Counter Strike (different looks for weapons etc.) that you can buy for real money and then there are websites where you can gamble with them.

It's a big deal, because there are even children gambling with it!

Νομίζω ότι ο εθισμός στα τυχερά παιχνίδια είναι παρόμοιος με τον εθισμό στο αλκοόλ. Μετά την επιτυχή θεραπεία, και οι δύο μπορούν να ξεκινήσουν ξανά. Ο αλκοολικός επιστρέφει στην υγεία του. Ο εθισμένος στα τυχερά παιχνίδια θα έχει σχέδιο χρέους. Αλλά ο εθισμός παραμένει στο μυαλό. Και μπορεί να ενεργοποιηθεί ανά πάσα στιγμή. Μέχρι το τέλος της ζωής. Η κοινωνία θα πρέπει να τους στηρίξει και όχι να τους κάνει περιστέρια με την ετικέτα «μια φορά εθισμένος, πάντα εθισμένος.

That's why we work on a global self-exlusion tool that would allow to be banned from ALL casinos in the world. The problem is that you can self-exclude from any casino, but nothing stops you from registering in another one.

Εκτός από την επιλογή αυτο-αποκλεισμού, η Γερμανία διαθέτει πλέον και τη λίστα των δόρυων Oasis. Κάθε καζίνο πρέπει να εισάγει τα δεδομένα των παικτών εκεί. Εάν απαγορευτείτε εκεί, δεν μπορείτε πλέον να παίζετε τυχερά παιχνίδια. Ούτε καν το λαχείο. Αν θα προβληθεί το όλο θέμα. Η ΕΕ είναι αρκετά επικριτική προς αυτό. Ολος ο κόσμος? Ποιος παρακολουθεί ή αναλαμβάνει την ευθύνη;

I believe we have the biggest online casino database in the world so we could be to ones who will monitor the new ones and try to make sure they're included on the global self-exclusion list.

Απλά ρωτήστε στο Reddit. Στο τέλος της εβδομάδας έχετε τη λίστα σας και παρεμπιπτόντως, το Reddit έχει αναλάβει ολόκληρη την επιχείρηση διαδικτυακού καζίνο 😂

Reddit? Interesting, I never used it for anything related to gambling.

Το Reddit έχει ομάδες για οτιδήποτε, ό, τι κι αν είναι. Θυμάστε το Game Stop πράγμα τον Ιανουάριο; Για να σώσει το Gamestop, ένας μικρός όμιλος Reddit δημιούργησε ένα hedge fund ύψους 4 τρισεκατομμυρίων. Μέχρι το τέλος της εβδομάδας, η αξία του Gamestop δεκαπλασιάστηκε και το hedge fund έκλαιγε. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/gamestop-reddit-wall-street-stock-b1792929.html%3famp

That's why we work on a global self-exlusion tool that would allow to be banned from ALL casinos in the world. 

That sounds amazing Daniel, a global self-exclusion tool. I myself is struggling with addiction , and that would make it so much easier when the urge comes. I have paid for stuff like Gamban on the phone, that can't be uninstalled.... Well, I found out how to uninstall it, and signed up on casinos I haven't been excluded on etc. (And there goes this month money to live for!)

If you ever need someone to do tests, or any help in any way, please let me know.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. It's gonna be a tough process, but we believe that we'll manage to create the tool one day. It's not just about developing such a tool, but it's more about getting support from the gambling authorities.

Yes! Same here! I think it is possible especially that they have already received professional help. I have read personal stories about gambling addiction from my friends in Gamdom and I am quite proud of how they were able to escape that dark hole.

Well, I guess it's part of the process. Society wont change, especially in a place where gambling is a really big part of our ''culture''. If you're in therapy, this is something professionals should be helping you with.

Have you noticed the Global Self-Exclusion initiative we started, I wonder?

One of our goals is to create the possibility of self-exclusion from all casinos at one. I think it's a very interesting and ambitious vision.

There's even more. 🙂
