I think every addicted gambler or every gambler who has at least noticed problematic gambling behavior will eventually reach the point where he or she wants to stop gambling. Unfortunately, the fact is that you come into contact with gambling almost everywhere. When you want to stop gambling online, you often experience situations that trigger you. Of course, if you don't avoid these trigger situations, the chances of quitting are lower.

If you are serious about quitting online gambling, you should take the following precautions to increase your chances of recovery:


  • Create a new Youtube account: Those who frequently watch winning videos on Youtube are also recommended winning videos and may get triggered by them. Therefore a new Youtube account must her ...

  • New social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter & Co.): Since I do not use Facebook & Co. privately, I can not make a recommendation here. But I think it might be a good idea to create new accounts here as well.

  • Change email address: If you have only ever played at a few Online Casinos, you can write to the casinos and ask them to stop sending promotional emails. It could be, however, that bad casinos do not adhere to it and one weiterhn triggernde bonus offers & Co. by e-mail gets. Therefore, it is best to set up a new email account and inform all important contacts about the new address.

  • Do not visit websites on the subject of gambling: Of course, you should then also not visit any websites that deal with the subject of gambling - unfortunately, not even our site . Of course we at GambleJoe do not like to lose users but we have understanding & respect for every addicted gambler who wants to stop gambling and says goodbye for a time or forever. Of course, users are always welcome back when they are either playing again or are stable enough to safely participate here.



Especially the point "change email address", should be accompanied by a very high effort. For those who seriously want to stop gambling and have made the decision to fight their Gambling addiction, it should be worth the effort.

Does anyone have any other ideas on how to avoid situations that trigger gambling addiction?

So I think it's important just to make clear what you could do alternatively with the money you want to Deposit .... just to keep the real equivalent value always in mind

Every single player is aware of that.

I don't mean this to sound arrogant, but I've been in contact with seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeany more gambling addicts than you and they all confirmed this. everyone is aware of what the money could have bought. These are gambling addicts, not idiots.

The whole thing is very hard to describe, but you are in a kind of trance when you gamble
You completely lose touch with reality and only afterwards you realize what you have done

Gambling addicts have a kind of urge to gamble. When there is money in the account or in general. Daniel described this very well. When the money is finally gambled away, then you can finally sleep at night as a gambling addict in peace again

Believe me, most are aware of what else you can do with the money. Many even think beforehand and know how stupid what they are about to do is, but they do it anyway. Simply to have peace in the head

I would like to speak here in no way for all. I'm just sharing with you the thoughts of several gambling addicts I've met, including myself. The thoughts are all very similar

Of course, everyone ticks differently, but the basic thoughts, fears and worries are basically the same

Well, Vivera is not affected and can hardly understand. Even I often don't understand it myself. But it is somehow true what Vivera says. The value of money is lost. If you then go on vacation or do anything else, then you wonder why the money lasts so long and is amazed what you can do with, for example, 500 € everything.

Players are usually also spendy when they are not gambling and have money. At least that is the case with me. You just get used to living under a standard of living that you could actually afford without gambling. You cut back on a lot of expenses, etc.

Even Andreas, who I met in the casino in Stuttgart, has a similar character. But he also lives EXTREMELY far below his actual possibilities. 30.000€ net income, Hartz-4-Bude and also almost Hartz-4 lifestyle. For all those who do not know what I'm talking about. You can read the conversation with Andreas here: https://www.gamblejoe.com/news/gespraech-spielsuechtigem-high-roller/

Matthias is also a high roller. He doesn't have such a huge income but he also lives below his means for years. But one thing is good about Matthias. He goes to his absolute limits but he never goes so far that he takes company / tax or employee money and endangers other people with it.

Andreas always has to fight with the tax office and any back payments. I had in 2015/2016 but also ...

Yes, I think I do not get behind the motivation & logic of a player concerned.Werde me in the future also prefer to stay out of the threads. Think that only leads to misunderstandings and anger When outsiders express themselves.

Everyone has an opinion and I think everyone should express themselves. There is no anger or anything else. I'm trying to put you a little bit of the way of thinking in kenntniss, that is not meant ill by me

Your opinion always interests me in threads

Therefore, please do not hold back in the future, if you have questions, or just want to say something. A forum is there to discuss with each other individual topics

daniel I feel the same way about being generous. When I'm not playing, I'm actually pretty generous and I'm great with money. Only the play eats it again

Matthias, on the other hand, is dangerous. I think it's great that he has never screwed up in this respect, but he lives on the edge and could if he wanted to. Personally, I would certainly have had a weak moment and attacked such funds in my playing career. But I hope that it continues to go so well, as far as that is concerned

What I meant was that it is a complicated topic.Eihentlich much too komplizeirt to "talk" in a forum more accurately with each other about it.The written word is not equal to the spoken then.There are misunderstandings because just many things are misunderstood.
