    Does anyone have recommendations on how to fight the urge to hop online and gamble? I have gone 3 days now and I keep thinking it would be a good time to just play a few hands of blackjack. I have been successful most of the day, but it’s getting harder each time

    • Check to see if your state has a responsible gaming database for online gambling. My state does and I filled out the paperwork. For 5 years I am prohibited from joining or gaming on any online gambling sites. It does work. I tried to log into a few and they all said cannot log in until Feb 14 of 2028.
      I also had my husband put parental controls on my apps which prohibits me from downloading any 18+ apps.
      I teach middle school and I tell my students to remove barriers that prohibit their success. In taking my own advice, my barrier was access to the sites.

    • I. Find I chase losses even when I play the free sites and experience the same guilt when I lose all my free tokens, elated when I win tokens and depressed when I lose them… so that helps me not try and log in and a self ban choice I made 4 years ago still sticks so I can’t go there glad I self banned myself from olg online
