GAMBLING URGE BREAKER

Create distance from the next bet.

Choose what is happening right now. The tool will help separate what already happened from the next decision, then you can use a 10-minute delay if the urge is still active.

STEP 1

What is happening right now?

Separate the old loss from the next risk.

10-MINUTE URGE TIMER

Put ten minutes between the urge and the next bet.

Close the gambling screen first. Then start the timer. Ten minutes does not have to solve the whole problem — it creates a gap before another gambling decision.

10:00
Timer has not started.
Close the gambling screenDo not leave odds, balances or a deposit page open while the timer runs.
Move the payment routePut the card, banking app or wallet somewhere harder to reach for the next ten minutes.
Change the settingStand up, move rooms or go somewhere the next bet is less automatic.

Ten minutes are up.

Before reopening anything, choose what protects you now. If the urge is still strong, add another ten minutes instead of testing it with a bet.
