This is just one more way the casino's are luring people in. You think internet gambling is bad now, just wait until casinos in the U.S. start doing this and mobile casino games. It's going to get a lot worse my friend. I think you’re right. This is just one more way the casino’s are luring people in.

It might be useful to join a gambling support group. Or better yet- find something different to do with your time when you are bored. Even watching TV is better- cause at least you're not loosing money doing it! You need to stop gambling all together if you are feeling addicted to it- it's just like alcohol, smokes or other drugs- you can't doing them without feeling the need to do them again. Sorry. Definitely! It might be useful to join a gambling support group.

Gamblers Anonymous would be a great place to start. Congratulations on your 5 years of being clean, that's awesome. I, too have an addictive personality and have been sober for over 10 years now from alcohol. I wish you all the best! Seek help now before it gets too out of hand and you get in too much debt.
