    It wouldn't let me close my account just take a break for 6months so i deleted the email account that I set it up with. Have now deleted my P.P account aswel I personally feel I'm making the correct steps as recommended above but I appreciate your blunt honesty I'm a very straight talker aswel so no need to apologise

    Say you want to have a full erasure of your personal information under data protection. They have no requirements to hold on to your account (except your Id and address verification for aml. If they won’t make a complaint to data protection commissioner.

    I definitely have an addiction to roulette but once triggers were eliminated it stopped. If online is a trigger then smartphones are an issue.

    Yeah the smartphone has been the problem tbh but I do feel by deleting all my accounts and unfollowing all to do with Gambling then I'm not going to be tempted as much as I would have been before this. It's only throughout this lockdown that it's become a real issue usually I'd be out for pints and the like all weekend and because I'm not spending it on that its why I've been allowing myself to gamble far higher amounts of money but it really has become a serious addiction I've been betting on anything from football to table tennis with lads who look to be in their 50s and overweight .

    I've deleted my email account that I've set it up with anyway so I'll never be able to access it again.

    No matter how fun you find gambling, this activity can be addictive. Some people get obsessed with it due to financial issues, while others have inner problems and inclination to the addition of any kind. Anyway, as soon as casinos overshadow more important things in life, it’s time to reconsider your priorities.

    I have researched this topic and can share some information about addiction reasons, signs and solutions.
    You can find more information about help centres and organisations for IE players who suffer from gambling addiction.

    I sincerely hope nobody on here who has issues with gambling decides to visit that link; with links to casinos, games etc beside . Jesus wept.:rolleyes:

    Poor form to use this topic to promote your own site.
