Also from personal experience, online betting can get out of hand very quickly, the 'safeguards' in place do not work really, as when 'in the mood' someones not really going to purposely press a button that will exclude them for a day or whatever. I have gambled for as long as I can remember, even when a child I would look forward to the 2p pushy machines when I went to the coast, more than anything else. I have lost control 'in person' a hanful of times, but never ever spend as much as I have when lapsing online. I literally clear my bank account before I will stop, regardless of what was meant with that cash..then lend it from people to buy essentials for ****s sake. Its utterly ridiculous when writing it down..I know it is. But it still happens. And even though I have signed up to gamstop, the national exclusion database, casinos still let me sign up and deposit endlessly, BUT, when a withdrawal is requested after a win, they THEN suddenly realise I am on gamstop and use that to refuse to pay out. Its sick, and exploitative. And I know this, yet have an addiction so go back again and again, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, I know this yet still do it again and again, thinking maybe this time, they will pay out given they have allowed hundred of deposits and the withdrawal is for half of what I have put in. Yet nope, again and again. So gamstop, the thing most applauded as helping problem gamblers, is utter utter ****e in reality for helping people to stop. All it has done, is give casinos yet another reason to refuse to pay out...but also lets them take deposits endlessly...the gamstop registration is only ever noticed once a withdrawal is requested, time and time again. Its not a mistake, or an error, if its industry wide and over and over tbh.
Did not mean that to go into essays tbh.

The way I see it is if there not paying you winnings then all bet you have places should be void and all money retrun to you or there can pay what you won there cant have it both ways
