ARE STREAMERS BAD FOR PROBLEM GAMBLERS?

I used to spend every last penny in arcades and bookies until I was skint. I found poker and my mindset changed instead of losing on slots I prefer to use that money and back myself on the tables. forward 5 years and pokersite rakes and some bullshit I have now stopped playing poker as well. I still have that urge to gamble as I have always known I have an addictive personalty. I have to agree that I have now started watching streamers and youtube. took me a while to finally use a link and deposit as i always thought it would be to easy to scam the player and the above could rear its ugly head. I used a few links and won big and beat the wagering, starting to lose now an I can now remember the issues I had when i was younger. I obviously don't want to go back down that route so I make sure everything is paid for, the wife is happy and then pensions and holidays are done. After that I am left with what I can afford to gamble. Its not perfect but apart from a some small regrets where I have done a month gambling in a day I haven't harmed anyone or myself; and I have had my fun till next payday. I can honestly say that when I watch streams and youtube I do instantly fire up a casino and play but that's my choice. We are all effected differently by these videos and I would also prefer my money going to these guys than just the casino as they do provide entertainment but I do feel more needs to be done. Cant believe i am saying this on a open forum but I do have problem but lucky I can control it but I do feel for the people who take out loans to gamble as its seems mad, but, as community we could more. I used to get huge stick from certain family members about gambling and thought I was pathetic and thought it is easy to stop; roll on a few years and the internet was invented and now they are worse than me because of the convenience online gambling brings. FOBTS are the worse but you have to go out at least.

Either way if I didn't gamble I would find another way to spend that money cause I am shit at saving.
 

I would like to end my post on a high note and say that my liver and kidneys are happy I started to gamble again as my alcohol in take has gone right down  odd  my beer belly wont go down tho!

A lot of assumptions. Never assume that those that watch don't work. Some may be on their days off, some may be in a different time zone so will be relaxing in the evening etc.
