e.g. to "Live group chat for gambling advice".
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 game behavior.
The criticism and the way of looking at the title has definitely arrived and is understandable. This will be taken up again.
To the last paragraph; In principle we are pleased also about participants who maintain a healthy contact. It is important not to forget the seriousness of the topic. Also players can help each other to recognize the problem. It is not a pure group chat for fun and games.
15.March and March 29 are the next dates for the group chat. Feel free to come in for a constructive exchange and advice on gambling addiction. We look forward to it! Link is in the start post.
how is your specialist office actually financed?
are there too few people who seek help from you or do you have this helper syndrome?
but find it really good that there is something like that here!
would still be interesting if a staff member of this office has also played?! with alcohol and drugs are also mostly the ex-addicts taken more seriously because they have experienced everything themselves

The Cologne center is one of the largest counseling centers in North Rhine-Westphalia. The financing of our specialized center is broadly based, federal government, municipality, etc. The online counseling was started as an initiative of mine and we were able to convince the Deutsche Fernsehlotterie to support the project. Gambling addiction is a wide-ranging taboo subject where it is also important for help services to keep up with the times and increase their reach.
That ex-users are usually taken more seriously is, in my experience, probably more your purely subjective experience. One feels more comfortable with affected people, the other with neutral professionals. Both feedbacks have happened, they are different approaches. Personally, I think both are important, which is why I am happy to hear from anyone who wants to participate in the group.

The German TV Lottery as a promoter for addiction and against addiction. A win-win situation, you could say.

Lotteries, especially social lotteries, are among the gambling offers that have a, existing, but very small share in a Gambling addiction development. Socially acceptable offer and socially strengthening consultation, WinWin. I agree
