Hello everybody!
My name is Simon, and I am part of the Casino Guru team in responsible gambling. My job is basically to lead our efforts in the area of safer gambling and the reduction of gambling harm. My main concern is the Global Self-exclusion Initiative, intending to create a global scheme including all gambling operators.
The reason for such an initiative is that we see current self-exclusion options as insufficient. Even if a player manages to exclude on a national or license-wide level, many other operators with no clue about it are willing to accept the player. We want to bridge this gap by creating a reliable system and convincing the rest of the industry to join it. You can find out more about it here.
I want to bring this project closer to the community. Ever since we created the initiative, we started receiving requests for self-exclusion globally. Unfortunately, this is not possible yet, but it made me think more about the individual stories of players struggling to build a reliable barrier from online gambling. That's when Charlie reached out with his experience with gambling addiction and troubles with self-exclusion. He was brave enough to share his story with me and the world to help others in similar situations. I want to pay it forward here.
Feel free to let me know your thoughts about this or share your own stories. I am a firm believer in community support when gambling becomes problematic. I also hope you might find inspiration in Charlie's story and possibly move to a better path.
Simon
casino, sin embargo, seguí jugando y tenía curiosidad sobre si tenían problemas con los sistemas o simplemente estaban haciendo trampa y, lamentablemente, después de jugar casi 48 horas seguidas y al menos 15 depósitos de $ 100, encontré mi respuesta. ¿Qué recurso tengo si les digo que no? ¿Quieres ser autoexcluido? gracias keith
