Mute the gambling group chats, install Gamban to block yourself, unfollow the tipster in your feed. Just one today.

Challenge your gambling thoughts
Are you still winning? The app is designed to keep you gambling, but the urge to do it will peak then fade. It will pass if you give it time.
Tip 6
Replace the first five minutes
When you catch the urge, do one small replacement action first: water, music, shower, stretch, head outside, message someone. Just five minutes is enough to interrupt the urge.
