I'm sorry I haven't written anything for a while. I'm amazed to see the activity in this feed. I wish the people I'm trying to help would be as active in discussions as you are.
Here are the latest updates from QuitGamble.com- We have passed 6500 members on the platform from 150+ countries now.
- The website is live in French, Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish and English
- During January, we worked on a study where we asked our members about their gambling habits. We got 3300 responses. I believe it's the biggest study on gambling addicts ever. (I'm a bit proud of that to be honest.) Among the questions we asked were: What do you gamble on? What do you struggle most with? And why do you gamble? We got some interesting results. 73% of gambling addicts gamble on slot machines... among women, that number is +90%. That main reason gambling addicts gamble is to win big money. (However, I've never met a gambling addict who gambles to win... so for me, that result is the most interesting of them all... Because it means that most gambling addicts don't know why they gamble. If you're curious, you can find the full gambling addiction study here.
- A couple of weeks ago, we started with a paywall for our courses and community. There are two reasons, first people tend to value things more if they need to pay for them. By paying, people take things more seriously, and hopefully, that will boost the activity. Second, we need money to be able to run our operations. Our goal is to be self-sustainable to remain completely independent from the gambling industry. All the extensive guides on the website and the Happiness Test will remain free.
