the following situation. I have been clean for just under 8 months. I applaud myself for now - I have never not gambled for so long (occasionally when the eurojackpot is over 50m I try my luck there)
I also want it to stay that way. But these emails and sms annoy me in the long run and I do not know how I react to such offers when I feel totally bad for whatever reason...
Today I got again a sms from a casino with such a link to stop it
http://bit.ly/o_de
I have filled out something like this before but it doesn't stop😞
That's why I'm looking for help. It should just stop
Thank you in advance

First of all, congratulations on being clean for so long. Respect, stay strong. I think the only thing that helps is a new phone number, even if it's a hassle.

For received SMS, you can tap "Block number" on a halfway decent phone from this age. Takes about 1.2 seconds.
And how to create a new email address should be known, right? There is also something like a spam filter, which you can individualize. Just put words like Deposit, bonus, casino etc on the Blacklist and you're done. Takes about 10 seconds.
Your number and email address will most likely be on spam servers and it will be difficult to block them via your provider.
They constantly change the sender address/address.
My Tip would be, especially because you have come away from gambling and it should remain so, apply for a new number for your phone and create a new email account . Delete / deactivate old email address to not be tempted to look at times.

Yes, this may be helpful for emails, but you won't get a handle on the annoying SMS.
I have already dealt with the issue more intensively and found out the following:
To request a new number from the Provider (I have a cell phone contract with 1&1) is not that easy! Keyword number transfer / porting. This is ultimately only possible if you get a prepaid SIM card (can be Aldi-Talk, no matter) and there (eg then at Aldi-Talk online) the release of this prepaid number in order. This usually costs around EUR 30,- which you have to load onto the new prepaid card beforehand. There are always templates on the respective homepage. The prepaid provider then uses the credit on the card to release the prepaid number (in the best case directly for a specific provider). Takes about a week. Most contract providers advertise with EUR 25, - number transfer bonus. Thus one would have no large costs. But hey, what's the stress, right?!
Concerning the advertising SMS I had started to send back always e.g. STOP or so. Puuuh, my cell phone bill was next month immediately times more expensive, because the SMS partly come from foreign numbers.
At the moment, I'm doing quite well by going to the respective OC page as soon as an SMS comes in and then changing my preferences/marketing settings there (uncheck Phone, SMS). Sometimes you have to go to Chat first to really turn off SMS promos.

That it takes a little effort and stress to change your number is totally true. The Gecko1990 had apparently but problem with the Zockerei and has it fortunately managed to get out of such a vicious circle again. He is only afraid that all the advertising mails and SMS can make him fall off the wagon again in a weak moment. So I think he should definitely do the little bit of stress with changing the number, because the stress in the head about gambled money can definitely be much stronger and more persistent .
A new mail address is done in a few minutes
If you have your gaming behavior under control, the way over the preferences and marketing settings is exactly the right way to turn off annoying and unwanted advertising. However, if you do not have your gaming behavior under control, you should definitely not connect to an online casino and log in. Much too quickly you are tempted to just transfer a "small" amount to test your luck one "last" time...... ...and bang is the whole month's wages in it xD
i think that already with the registration should not be required by the casino to give a phone number

Every halfway decent smartphone, which was built from the year 2000, gets this under control. Even my old Symbian Nokia from 2006 had the function to block SMS.
On Android, just press the 3 dots in the upper right corner and then click on Block number, takes about 1 sec
Any half decent smartphone built from 2000 onwards gets this working. Even my ole Symbian Nokia from 2006 had the SMS blocking feature.
On Android just press the 3 dots on the top right and then block number, takes about 1 sec
True 100%, only you are not the only one who knows this function, but also the companies/departments that are in charge of advertising campaigns. They know, but also that there is a function, which tells you by confirmation of receipt whether your SMS (advertising / spam) has arrived. If this happens three times, your number will be put on another sender number that you have not yet blocked . Be sure that they have 1000 numbers available for sure.
The blocking goes in about 1 sec, but does not permanently solve the problem of being harassed by more SMS
