Hey,
Affected persons and relatives are welcome to join our online group for Live Chat without obligation.
This takes place every second Wednesday in the period 17-18:00.
In addition to the participants, a member of the counseling center is always present, so that people who feel they have problem gambling behavior can get in touch with us directly and ask questions. Duration, regularity and dates can be extended in the future depending on interest. The group is still under construction.
This is an offer and should not be a barrier. For short general inquiries feel free to contact us here in the forum. Choose the way that makes the most sense for you. We will support you from there and together we will find the way that feels good for you.

With us, the door is open for anyone who wants to talk about it Rather preventive inform a bit, then problematic is not a pathological.

you may be right, but these people usually do not see their problematic gaming behavior.
you may be right, however, most of the time these people don't even see their problematic gambling behavior.
Well, I can only speak for myself and I'm not sure if I would classify my gaming behavior now and then as problematic because I basically do not get myself into trouble but if I exaggerate a little bit I notice that too

for everyone is --> something exaggerate <-- a different point. think should participate those who once often had the tunnel vision? of course gibtts more criteria, as I said, some do not even come to it because they classify it as normal, their game sessions.
I would also no longer describe my current gambling behavior as problematic, let alone pathological.
But I have to be awesome careful, that if the first Deposit fizzles out in a short time, the second just as, I slowly notice the rage (real hatred) come up in me. Not so much at the slots but at myself. If I then do not stop, further deposits follow out of anger or defiance. Either until the money is "almost" gone and I want to puke, or until a win comes that is enough. So in the kind to want to force the luck.
That's why I set myself strict limits today to not Risk this state in any case. Works now for 3 years quite well.
For me, it's always when I come home from work at night after what feels like a 14-hour day and I'm completely exhausted, then I go to an OC and just want something to spin for a few hours and I can completely switch off mentally from everything else. Whether I win or lose, I don't really care.

If that's the point, wouldn't a free-to-play offer be enough?
Even if you experience your own gaming behavior as unproblematic, I personally see this as an enrichment for such a group. Giving others tips or raising awareness. That's possible here, too, but in a Live Chat it's a different experience. An hour in which everyone takes time and actively and purposefully uses this time to deal constructively with the topic. In this case, I am also speaking on behalf of the participants. Because that was the feedback and the suggestion.
I think it's great that there is such an offer. If you can help only 1 person who has problems with gambling with it, it was worth it.
However, some gamblers, like me for example, may feel deterred by "problematic". Psychologically, I think, the thread also has rather a negative and not purposeful basis due to the word "problematic".
From my point of view I am a positive example how to deal with gambling (f este limits, low limits compared to salary, acceptance of loss and joy about wins, no neglect of more important areas, e.g. social contacts. Openly dealing with gambling also in private and sometimes even in professional life, without any withholdings or lies. My wife knows all the numbers Deposit / withdrawal, wins / losses, although she is not interested in gambling at all).
The offer from you sounds to me more like the motto: participant = gambling problem, so that every participant is put in a blanket pigeonhole.
What would it bring to your chat if there is someone who does it right?
That doesn't really help the other participants who might really have a gambling problem, does it?
Because a problematic gameplay of player 1 can't "save" a good gameplay of player 2, can it?
If it were that simple, there would be no more problematic gaming behavior.

well, somewhere you have to call a spade a spade. Anonymous alcoholics are not called anonymous thirst quenchers. In my opinion, playing down the problem is not the right thing to do.
I find the "problematic" not deterring, on the contrary, for me it is thus more tangible than just such a standard as live group chat for gambling advice. It suggests to me that you really care about the negative sides of gambling and not general drivel.
Your example is admirable, but certainly rather an exceptional case. And yet you can still get involved, you know what it's all about.
