Exactly, that's what I was trying to say in my last post, this initiative will serve as an inspiration or a spark so other people will try to do the same thing even if there are different cause that they want to be doing it. Like a small spark in a dry grassland, hopefully QuitGamble will be that spark that's going to ignite a wildfire.

Thank you! I hope it'll take off and become a global movement

And coming back to this group though, the op said that everything on this quitgamble.com will be completely free, i am curious to know how or where they will be getting funding from? like we all know that even a charity organization needs funding.

Sorry if this question have been asked and answered before, i completely missed it, anyone can just point me back to the answer please.

For the past 5 years, I have funded the development of the platform from my own pocket. I've tried to get help from governmental organizations, gambling commissions, and gambling companies. But most often, our efforts have just been ignored. This summer we got a donation from an affiliate company of €25K. It was fantastic, but as you understand. €25K is just pennies compared to the total cost of development over the last 5 years. We hope that will change next year. If anyone wants to support us, a free way to do that is to sign-post QuitGamble on responsible gambling pages. I also offer to write responsible gambling pages for a fee.

This feels great to know, atleast, that donation does prove that you are solving a problem and you are appreciated and given a reason to go ahead, a start of something is always filled with challenges for sure, but if one does not give up, rest assured that in the future, every thing will be fine.

Lets assume that the reason why you were refused help from the government and also the gambling organizations you requested help from, is because maybe you have not built the platform to the stage where they trust it, as you will agree with me, any body can wake up and ask donation for anything, and then end up wasting the money, so what I advice is to just keep building, a time will come when getting donations will be very easy.

I consider your strategy on how to stop gambling addiction a great move and marketing your product in a space where gambling service are offered to the detriment of the user is a wise decision.

I will like to know if this is a professional consultancy service or just opinions and possibly methodology used on former addicts.

We have worked out our method to help people over time. We had ideas 5 years ago, and I have talked with 100s of addicts since then. Every time you learn something new. The biggest challenge we face is lack of motivation. Our members are often depressed, and I remember a time when I was depressed. You simply don't care about anything then. How do you motivate someone who has no motivation or energy? This is a topic I want to explore and find a solution to.

You are very right, lack of motivation is a sickness on its own that is completely different from addiction, it's good that you are looking for solution to this as well, as this is something that is often associated with addicts, you can tell an addict what to do everyday to help cure their addiction, but lack of motivation will keep the addict away from doing what he or she is or was asked to do.

So, finding a solution that will completely keep addicted motivated in the platform will also significantly help their healing process even faster than Imagined.
