So recently I banned myself from my local bookies and I realized how hard it is to find out how to self-exclude yourself from bookmakers offline and online too.

It was very empowering to be able to call a number to speak to someone friendly explain to them which shops I wanted to exclude from and where. They were very helpful they even helped me exclude from shops which I didn’t know where there but that were close to other bookies I used to visit.

After you get off the phone all you do is send a copy of your driving license or passport along with a selfie of yourself which will then be circulated to the bookmakers you want to self-exclude from. You will get an email requesting these documents so make sure its the right company you send them too.

Once this is done yes you may be able to walk into a bookie and place a bet but you have now agreed not to be paid out any winnings as well as not being refunded any cash you have lost. It may pay to speak tp each bookmakers staff and explain to them you have excluded but if like me all you needed was some form of rule that you cannot bet the phone call and ID should be enough.

I am already spending money on things I used to say to myself if I win I will buy! I used to go into a TV shop for example as I wanted a new 4k smart UHD hdr tv. I used to say to myself £400 that’s too much for a TV. I would then go on to lose £100+ in a bookie shop on horse racing or machines very week and go without things I needed without a second thought.

I know this will resonate with many other gamblers out there and I want to give something back to you by telling you how to stop yourself from losing money that you don’t really want to lose. You can then treat your partner every month by him or her a gift even if it’s only £20 it was £20 you’d have put straight in FOBT machine and not given it a second thought.

FOBT (fixed odds betting machines) or the machines which you see many play slots and roulette on in bookmakers are not fair. They have also been proven to be more addictive than crack cocaine. Do not lie to yourself you are a form of an addict if you go to the shop for milk as I did yet you find yourself sitting at a machine putting a £20 note in 2 minutes later and losing that and more, you need to break the cycle.
