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

Utlösarna är olika per person och affinitet, men missbruk förblir ett beroende och följaktligen följer dig under hela ditt liv. Att lära sig att hantera det på en måttlig och medelnivå verkar för mig det bästa för den avslappnade spelaren, eller att verkligen göra snittet med tvångsmässiga högvalsar och lära sig eller uppskatta livskvaliteten som återkommer när du slutar spela.

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!

Jag tror att spelberoende liknar alkoholberoende. Efter framgångsrik terapi kan båda börja om igen. Alkoholisten är frisk igen. Spelberoende kommer att ha en skuldplan. Men missbruket finns kvar i sinnet. Och kan triggas när som helst. Fram till livets slut. Samhället bör stödja dem och inte duva hål med etiketten "en gång beroende, alltid beroende.

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.

Förutom alternativet för självuteslutning har Tyskland nu också Oasis spjutlista. Varje kasino måste ange spelardata där. Om du är förbjuden där kan du inte längre spela hasardspel. Inte ens lotteriet. Om det hela kommer att visas. EU är ganska kritisk till detta. Hela världen? Vem övervakar eller tar ansvar?

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.

Fråga bara på Reddit. I slutet av veckan har du din lista och förresten, Reddit har tagit över hela online casinoverksamheten 😂

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

Reddit har grupper för vad som helst. Kommer du ihåg Game Stop -grejen i januari? För att rädda Gamestop skapade en liten Reddit -grupp en 4 biljoner hedgefond. I slutet av veckan ökade Gamestops värde tiofaldigt och hedgefonden grät. 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. 🙂
