Blog
This is an important page for us. Here we share the latest news about QG, in-depth articles and support material for our guides. You’ll also find research data about gambling addiction. Let us know, if you want anything special covered here
Research behind QuitGamble
QuitGamble.com is based on the assumption that pain is the cause of addiction. It’s the escape from the pain we get addicted to. Alcohol, drugs, and gambling are just ways to escape the pain.
Comparison of QG and Facebook
I’ve been a proud member of Facebook for the past 14 years. Okay, a proud member might be an overstatement, but as vain as I sometimes am, I see myself as an “early adopter” joining in 2006…
Schedule Zoom Meetings
We’re dedicated to providing you with the best possible tools to quit gambling. At this stage, we can’t provide meetings like Gamblers Anonymous.
Gamification – Upcoming function
We have designed QuitGamble.com to offer our members a chance to help themselves, by helping others. We believe this is one of the keys to kick gambling addiction’s ass! We want to maximize the opportunities for acts of kindness, collaboration, and create meaning and purpose.
Join something bigger
QuitGamble.com is designed to encourage people to regain control over their lives. To add some extra spices, we decided to add a point system. For each task, video, and forum post you make, you’ll get some points.
Buddy Function
We’re currently building a Buddy function for QuitGamble.com. The idea is to give each member a Buddy to discuss and follow up with.
Yesterday something fantastic happened…
I went out for a walk in the evening. It was raining, snowing and windy… Like the weather gods couldn’t decide what to throw at us.
Boredom and gambling addiction
Is there a connection between boredom and gambling addiction? Today, people don’t know how to handle boredom. In a study published in the International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction1, the researchers present boredom as a significant cause of gambling addiction. Boredom isn’t anything inherently wrong, but it causes pain for many people.
