salfordlad Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 @Rosequartz11 You should get a refund so try not to stress about it too much. But I will echo what @Blacko has said and suggest that you are open and honest with your partner about this as it will then help you going forward. All the best.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Hearing everyone's thoughts on the matter has put my mind at ease a little and made me feel a bit more confident a refund may actually happen. I will pluck up the courage to put my partner in the loop. Thank you 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douvan Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I hope you get it sorted. Best of luck and hopefully you learn from this and take the time with gamstop to grow and realise how much of a dark place you can get into. I know I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slot providers nowadays sell dreams, I can’t go back to gambling online as games such as crazy time and monopoly will ultimately break me. Gamstop yourself young lady, speak to ur fella and get urself back on track, easier said than done but you will get there as a couple.

I also took steps today through my bank to block transactions being made to gambling sites. Just one step at a time eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever need a fix, i did hear that someone had a decent hit on jammin jars at some point. Not sure who it was, might have been the mexican or bandito or something like that. @Gkell727 knows who it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will go through major cold Turkey, I googled through dozens of casinos and ended up punting money through a couple of them who were non regulated scamsters, please don’t fall into the same trap as me.

Most of these operators are dumb fucks so be patient and wait for the managers response. Well I finally had the dreaded response back from ladbrokes and they have said that given that the address didn't match i would not be issued with a refund on this occasion, its my duty as a customer to make sure all the details are kept updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think about it reflectively you know deep down that you needed to keep gamstop up to date. I think to anyone reading this member or guest it is a stark reminder that if you sign up to a gambling prevention tool, you keep it updated. I hope that you found the courage to tell your partner and have his support. Keep safe and stay on site as many members on here no longer gamble but provide great advice and support. Hopefully you can give that back to others as you abstain Edited May 13, 2021 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howfin Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Tbh, address not matching shouldnt be the end of it. If the name and dob matched that should be enough in my book. Surely the system isnt as shit as a miss matching address lets you slip past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you are saying but clearly if you utilise a tool to keep you safe you keep it updated. A change of address is a significant event.

She said her new address was on gamstop but her old one on ladbrokes no? I mean its unlikely that youd go back through all your accounts to change your address after moving if you signed up to gamstop. Personally i think its rather silly to assume a customer would do that. Or rather silly to require a customer to do that. I mean, these systems the bookmakers use already do exclude purely on name and dob. So it seems like ladbrokes to me have questions to answer.

It will not help the person who is gambling with an incorrect address on either. Please just make sure if you are signing up to gamstop you are fully truthful and leave nothing to chance as you will be caught out one way or another. Be that a loss or a win, you simply will lose. You can not rely on chances of error when gamstop is part of the tool and you are the other. Many try to beat the system...
