Hi Everyone!
I wanted to share a project that I've been part of. 5 years ago, I changed course from being a casino affiliate to working with problem gambling. It's been a project full of challenges, happiness, tears, and fighting. I wanted to do something different, and I saw how many people struggle.

QuitGamble.com is an online platform and mobile app to help people with gambling problems. The platform is free to use, and members get access to:
  • Video Courses
  • Extensive Guides
  • A community with +4400 members
  • Chat, Forum and Support Groups
  • Mobile App

Everything on QuitGamble.com is built from a problem gambler's perspective. We don't talk about responsible gambling, which many other organizations who claim to work with problem gambling do. For us, there is no such thing as RG for someone with gambling problems. (Who would write about responsible drinking on a page for alcoholics?)

The website is available in English, Spanish, Swedish, and soon French and Portuguese.

If you're curious about our project, please feel free to reach out. I would be happy to receive any feedback, both positive and negative. If you have a gambling problem, I would recommend you take a look at our how to stop gambling addiction guide. It's a step-by-step process that will put you on a new track.


Have a super day, everyone!

Not a bad idea. The first thing that comes to mind is that when something is "free" the product is "you" - the user. But still, it is great to have so many resources in one place, in fact it may become a bit overwhelming and it might be useful to have a one-pager for quick reference to those that might benefit from it. Also "quit gamble" is not really what most people would want... you know, is not crack or smoking.... most would want to "control gambling".

Going by your last statement paxmao, i also concur with that, people will rather control their gambling than quitting, i rarely hear people saying that they wanted to quit gambling, but you can always hear about some in need of how they can control the way they gamble, if we go by the option of quitting, it may not really solve the problem at hand like when we realized the need to deal with the way gamblers had been on it the wrong way and come in to help with the situation.
