    I excluded online last April 19 like you I was up online but my bet size was increasing doing £20 spins isn’t going to end well so I excluded before I did my bollocks in!  Before the pandemic hit I used to go to my local casino with my bankroll in cash and no other means of payment so as you can imagine lockdown is killing me as I cannot gamble online and the casinos are shut overall I am glad I excluded online as I would of spunked thousands otherwise!

    Steve did mention meeting up somewhere for a beer and a session I would be up for that once the casinos reopened!

    I have had a golden run since being on Furlough at the beginning of April. That being said I have reduced my depsoit limits on all sites, as the boredom can just make you bet even more which is a bad thing. Well done on the self exclusion, hopefully you don’t get that itch on the arcades when they reopen.

    I do think when I was younger some 17 – 18 years ago when I started gambling, that if I had self excluded how my life would look now financially, back then I was a bit of a menace and would do all sorts of crazy shit. I moved abroad and after a horrible situation where my internet cut out on a really high cash game pot on poker, where I had Quad Kings I stopped gambling for some 9 months. Not sure if it was the break, getting older or just responding differently to gambling but I am a lot more controlled.

    Huge amount of respect for those who do struggle and then self exclude. It is not always easy to look in the mirror and re evaluate in order to better yourself

    I’m on gamstop for 5 years too. I do miss going to the bingo hall, but even when they’re back open I wouldn’t go. Too risky with all those people there ?
