How to stop gambling by adding real friction

by Grace Ellington

Make the next bet harder to place. Use self-exclusion and blocking options available where you live, remove saved payment details, and ask your bank what gambling controls it offers.

Tell someone you trust what gambling has cost and which accounts you use. If gambling affects your money, relationships, or wellbeing, contact a gambling support service or healthcare professional.

Block the path to a bet

List every betting account, payment route, and device you use. Close or exclude the accounts, remove the apps, and block the payment route. Do the work while you want the barrier.

Do not keep one account as an exception. The point is to create time and distance when an urge arrives.

Use complete numbers, not selected wins

Export your deposits and withdrawals and review them with someone you trust. Do not rely on the wins you remember or the figure in a single account.

If you face debt, contact a qualified debt or gambling support service. An app cannot negotiate with creditors or provide regulated financial advice.

Record the trigger and the barrier

When you want to bet, note what happened before the urge and which barrier stopped you. This gives you a concrete plan to strengthen next time.
