      Hi new here to this forum. Gambling addict of around 20 years. Today lost £90 on video poker after losing 13 consecutive hands without a pair :(. In all gambling over 20 years have lost around £120000 after wins and losses accounted for.

      Basically had enough and in the last year been gambling online exclusively due to lockdown of gambling establishments.

      Have just used GamStop to block all my gambling online for the next 5 years as have lost around £2000 in last 5 months alone.

      As it stands have £30 to my name and £10000 of debt.

      I am at this forum for help and to read other people journeys through gambling addiction. Thanks for reading.
