Trying to Stop Gambling? We've Got an App for That!
The Stop Gambling App, by Extern Problem Gambling, is currently in the Beta Testing phase. If you would like to be one of our Beta Testers, please just fill out this form (or fill it out, below) and we will send you the login details. You can create an account anonymously, but we will need your email address to open an account on the app platform. The app runs on the Nudge Coach Platform. This provides for additional discretion, as it does not appear as a gambling-specific app on your device.
The app is the first of its kind, in the world, to provide support with text-chat interactions from experts in the field of gambling addiction recovery. If you are not interested in having interactions with the Support Team - no problem - you can still use the app content as part of your recovery. The app includes gambling addiction worksheets and workbooks, along with weekly reflections to track your progress. Also included are inspirational gambling addiction recovery stories, from people who have lived experience of getting into stable recovery. Podcast episodes also cover some of the cognitive distortions and irrational beliefs associated with problematic gambling. New content is delivered to you, through the app, every few days. The app covers your first 100 days of working on your recovery. Our Support Team will be available to answer any questions you have, via text-chat, or to check in on your progress, if you would like that type of support.
The Stop Gambling App has been developed by the Extern Problem Gambling Team, who have worked with hundreds of people with gambling problems, over the past 10 years. Those years of experience have allowed us to identify the most helpful strategies for anyone trying to quit gambling.
Please note: You must be resident on the island of Ireland to avail of this service. You must also be over 18 years of age.
