Hello Anita, it's great to have you here on the forum. We have a special type of a forum account for professionals who are related to problem gambling, social work, addiction centres etc.

The account is the same as for everyone else, but it officially shows that you're someone who can provide a professional help and direct players to places where they can get the help. Should I change the account for you?

Hi Daniel,

thank you, yes that would be very kind!

Many greetings!

Hi Anita, that's wonderful.

I changed your status just a few moments ago, and I'm personally very happy to have you here. 🌟

Your help is much appreciated.

Have a great day! 🙂

Do we have some official data or statistics about gambling problems in 22/23?

I mean, due to tough regulations, lower RTP and rise in responsible gambling awareness, it should be better by now? But is it?

Hello,

I would try asking our Safer-Gambling Lead - Šimon. Sadly, he's out of the office.

I dare to say, that there is no general answer which can fully satisfy your question mainly to the severe differences in legislation, regulations, licenses, and market specifics.

There are quite different conditions for casinos in almost every country worldwide.

Let's try to find annual statistics, reports, and other articles available online.

Um no, I'm a life coach myself

Hello there.

Sound interesting? You teach people how to "live", I guess.

Any advice for players struggling with the weak will to resist addiction?

There is a lot of advice and help that I don't think is very helpful...I haven't opened a Pandora's box myself with the ultimate way out of gambling addiction...gambling addiction is often underestimated. Gambling can ruin you completely within a few days...that's the hard way out....the other possibility is that you sometimes win or have small winnings paid out in order to buy something to eat and other things and reinvested the rest and so on and so on...at some point the redeeming big win that solves all your worries will come

I always stop playing otherwise I lose motivation and it makes me angry. After a short break, you can begin to analyze the situation why this happened

I believe the problem lies in the motivation to win all losses back. From my point of view, this is the first step to the long fall. I agree that in the end, it's up to the person who must fortify their will and fight on. I'm glad I have never gone so far.

From another point of view, those bigger wins can be more toxic than losing - bringing back hope that there is a way to win back lost deposits or win money to cover debts. It's a harsh topic, and I'm proud we put so much effort to change the industry standards and develop a consistent tool to help addicted players avoid danger.

Analyzing the game and its outcomes is handy. I'd say it helps keeping a touch with reality. No one should play angry - good point! 👍

It's a game of chance, don't take it too seriously... if you're losing and you're not enjoying it, it's a sign to take a break

Yeah, exactly. You can also play for free via some demo mode. Its almost everywhere right now.

But that's no fun 😀

Better to take a break and when you're ready to play normally again 😀

You'd be surprised, but we have insane traffic in our free games section. Some people like to play for free. To be honest, I believe the free games are really useful if you want to find and test a lot of new games, but you don't want to spend money on it when you're not sure whether the game is good or not.

From this point of view you are absolutely right!

It's great for testing games!

But playing in the long run without real money would not be so attractive for me 😀

Sadly, many players feel free games are not as thrilling - well obviously - as the "real ones" so switching to free versions doesn't feed their appetite enough🙁...

But I can understand that 🙂

For some it is certainly amusing but for me personally the appeal would be missing 😀

But it would be an alternative!

Especially for players with game problems.

You could play there without losing any money. 🙂

Have a nice day dear Radka 🫡🫶🏼

PS: Drink lots of water 😛 ❤️🕊🫡

Hi, there today!😎

I'm just wondering, have you found any working alternatives yourself? I mean, being addicted means fighting your own battle inside your head, so I'd say anything that makes you "distracted" should work. What do you think?

Don't worry - drinking like an old sailor today! 😉✨
