Hej allesammen!
Mit navn er Simon, og jeg er en del af Casino Guru-teamet inden for ansvarligt spil. Mit job er grundlæggende at lede vores indsats inden for sikrere spil og reduktion af spilskader. Min største bekymring er Global Self-Exclusion Initiative , som har til hensigt at skabe en global ordning, der omfatter alle gambling operatører.
Baggrunden for et sådant tiltag er, at vi ser de nuværende selvudelukkelsesmuligheder som utilstrækkelige. Selvom det lykkes en spiller at ekskludere på nationalt eller licensdækkende niveau, er mange andre operatører uden anelse om det villige til at acceptere spilleren. Vi ønsker at bygge bro over denne kløft ved at skabe et pålideligt system og overbevise resten af industrien om at tilslutte sig det. Du kan finde ud af mere om det her .
Jeg ønsker at bringe dette projekt tættere på samfundet . Lige siden vi oprettede initiativet, begyndte vi at modtage anmodninger om selvudelukkelse globalt. Det er desværre ikke muligt endnu, men det fik mig til at tænke mere over de individuelle historier om spillere, der kæmper for at bygge en pålidelig barriere fra online gambling. Det var da Charlie nåede ud med sin erfaring med ludomani og problemer med selvudelukkelse. Han var modig nok til at dele sin historie med mig og verden for at hjælpe andre i lignende situationer. Jeg vil gerne betale det frem her.
Du er velkommen til at fortælle mig dine tanker om dette eller dele dine egne historier . Jeg tror fuldt og fast på støtte fra lokalsamfundet, når gambling bliver problematisk. Jeg håber også, at du måske finder inspiration i Charlies historie og muligvis bevæger dig til en bedre vej.

Hello everybody!
My name is Simon, and I am part of the Casino Guru team in responsible gambling. My job is basically to lead our efforts in the area of safer gambling and the reduction of gambling harm. My main concern is the Global Self-exclusion Initiative, intending to create a global scheme including all gambling operators.
The reason for such an initiative is that we see current self-exclusion options as insufficient. Even if a player manages to exclude on a national or license-wide level, many other operators with no clue about it are willing to accept the player. We want to bridge this gap by creating a reliable system and convincing the rest of the industry to join it. You can find out more about it here.
I want to bring this project closer to the community. Ever since we created the initiative, we started receiving requests for self-exclusion globally. Unfortunately, this is not possible yet, but it made me think more about the individual stories of players struggling to build a reliable barrier from online gambling. That's when Charlie reached out with his experience with gambling addiction and troubles with self-exclusion. He was brave enough to share his story with me and the world to help others in similar situations. I want to pay it forward here.
Feel free to let me know your thoughts about this or share your own stories. I am a firm believer in community support when gambling becomes problematic. I also hope you might find inspiration in Charlie's story and possibly move to a better path.
