    I would give you my thoughts on what games to play but it sounds like you may have a gambling problem mate. I would seriously consider trying to cut down, take a break or quit.

    Im not saying that to be a dick I just have been in the same situation before and I wish I would have stopped before I did serious damage to my finances and got myself knee deep in debt. Of course back then I wouldn’t have listened to any advice about stopping however but maybe think about it.

    I appreciate your advice and i know i have a problem as I’ve just recently came off gamstop, in the past year while on gamstop i have paid off over 20k debt, inly debt i do have is my phone contract with a bill for tomorrow of £245, i have today been and got a new phone (upgrade) and sold it to CEX, moneys in my bank and my phonebill will be paid, just a shame im stuck in a 3 year contract for the sake of 245 quid. Once i get a bit saved up I’ll just buy a new phone out right. Back to the gambling situation, I’m no where near as bad as i was – limits getting put on my account once i post this of 50 a week which is affordable for me, i just went daft last week and today. Problems sorted now so happy days, and have money left over to get wasted tomorrow ?

    Matey getting a new phone on contract and then immediately selling it for significantly less than its value to pay off a gambling debt racked up on another phone bill is definitely not happy days. Get yourself on Gamstop again or I can almost guarantee in six months or a year you’ll be posting on here about how you’re thousands in debt again and totally fucked.

    This is my advice, do with it what you will but I’ve seen this scenario play out many times with many people.

    It was an upgrade so still paying the same contract. Just paid that debt off and had a bit oeft over in my bank, 15 quid as i have taken cash out to keeo in the house. Just won 100 so withdrawing that, it certainly is happy days mate. I’ll be just fine i know i will be.

    I’ll echo argyl53, done people can run 100m in under 10 seconds, some people can deadlift 450kg plus, some people can air dribble in rocket League and some people can have a little gamble every now and then without ever doing something stupid that they regret.

    I’m none of those people and as a result I’m on gamban for max time. If you need to set deposit limits then you should be on gamban too. If you have ever signed up to a 3 yr phone contact so you can sell the phone and pay off a gambling phone bill then you really need to be on gamban… Hell.. You need to be on it more than me.

     

    Your life, your choices but the reality is pretty obvious imho.

     

    All the best.

    Mate in my late teens/early 20s I used to deposit in 20s and 30s and do all that shit with phones and catalogs till I burned my credit rating to the ground but I’d always have that hope of tomorrow if I had just a few quid in my account..<span style=”font-size: 1rem;”> like that £50 you’ve got left,</span>

     

    Sign up to gamban and leave your card at home when your out dude, even if the fun  hasn’t stopped, because with me it only stopped when my account declined. you’ll feel a lot better strutting about in some nice new threads or something to spend w<span style=”font-size: 1rem;”>hat would have only been half an hour on video slots on. </span>

    Initially i just thought you’d had a bad session which had got out of hand but after reading further posts i have to echo the replies from our regulars and advise re signing to gamstop. You obviously went on there for a good reason the first time and it appears unfortunately little has changed. You may disagree and of course it’s your choice but whichever path you take we will wish you all the best.

    Be careful mate … from the description you give it sounds a bit weird …. in debt on your phone … get a new phone … write of the debt by selling the phone .. but get paid on the same day you pick up a new phone … spend 200 …only have 50 left … even tho you were on this site three days ago about your finances a few days later your back in that hole ….

    it probably does makes sense but I haven’t read  your messages properly or something … so just be careful man ….

    You get paid 300, u owed 245, you get a phone and sell it to pay off the 245 then deposit 200 on the same day & all you have is 50 left out of your 300 wages. So basically you could have kept your phone, used your wages to pay off your 245 bill and had 55 left. You sound too addicted to the gambling mate. I used to be like that until I started watching “real” streamers and how much they lost. I stopped playing and continue to watch now. I was 20 grand down, I am still in debt but getting there. It all starts off with nice wins to get you hooked it seems then bam, time for the casino to make their money.

    What is done is done. Bill paid off and I’ve blocked siru mobile deposits so no more big phonebills. Limits set on my account im not signing up to anything else and I’ve banned myself from local bookies. Think I’ll be just fine

    Good move man you’ll be sound

    it’s mental that they haven’t stopped mobile deposits yet, it’s so blatently aimed at problem gamblers
