Regulation for in store places might well be the reason for closures.

But regulation for online gambling is massively lacking. They do what they want, and appear to rip off many many people by suddenly refusing payouts with unfair terms, yet nothnig is done. Apparently thres the UKGC to help, but in reality again, I have contacted them about obvious term abuse (before I signed up to gamstop..when willhill online refused a large win being paid due to some obscure term, despite it being my first ever withdrawal request and money paid into the site was over 3k over time. And the withdrawal was still less than what had been put in) but they wont speak about individual cases...so, useless to single gamblers of course.

Ugh. I don't think its a good thing letting this all out on here as..well I don't really like giving out personal details given whats happened in the past. But when I see this spoke about, I kind of think I have to give my experience too.

And yes, I do know its my own fault, yadayada. I know its stupid. I know I should 'just stop'. But as with any addiction, its not really the case that thats possible and as easy as people think. When in normal mind I know that its stupid. But am not always in normal mind..
