Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice.....
I have a friend that has developed a serious gambling problem and it has got to stage where he owes a lot of friends money, resorted to stealing and pawning some of his possessions.
He has been offered help on several occasions and has turned it down. He has even to a GA meeting which was unsuccessful. Basically he won't admit he has a problem.
His problems are both land based (casinos, bookmakers, etc.) and online gambling.
I am under the impression that he would have to ban himself in person for land based gambling? I presume it would not be possible for me or a member of his family to contact the casinos etc. to ban him ?
What about online casinos? What can be done there?
So is there anything i can do? The result I would ultimately like to achieve is getting him banned from all land and online gambling in the quickest way possible.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
