中文About Us
Who is behind QG? What drives the development of QG? What does the future look like? Wanna collaborate? On this page, you’ll find everything you need to know about us. Here are our main challenges:
- How to help someone with no motivation to do anything
- Make the process fun & engaging
- +80% of problem gamblers don’t seek help. How to reach them?
I am not..
- I’m not a doctor, nor a psychology Ph.D. I’ve got diplomas in engineering and economics.
- I’m not from a broken home. I had a fantastic childhood with amazing parents.
- I’m not an ex-gambling addict, and I haven’t worked with addicts for the past 20 years (just 7 this year). Okay, my father introduced me to cards games and roulette at age 5, and I probably played too much online poker in my 20s. But I never saw it as a problem.
- I’m not funded by donations from a reputable charity like Gamble Aware. QG is funded by gambling money. I’ve worked in the gambling industry for 7 years. My company compared online casinos. We still have some sites left, even if we don’t work with them anymore. The main reason we keep the sites is to sell backlinks on them. That’s how we finance the development of QuitGamble.
- I’m not religious. I believe “the higher power” comes from within ourselves.
- I’m not the best/kindest person in the world. I get angry, shout, and use specific words way too often (especially while driving).
- I’m not affiliated with Gambler Anonymous nor the 12 steps.
- I’m not American, nor from the UK, so feel free to correct my English.
But I Believe…
- I believe gambling does something for us. The key to a successful recovery is to understand what that is.
- I believe pain is the cause of addiction. It’s the escape from the pain we get addicted to, not the means we use to escape. Can you relate to that?
- I believe a happy person experiences less pain; therefore he/she has less need to escape through gambling, drinking, or taking drugs.
- I believe there is room for an alternative to support meetings and expensive sessions with a psychologist.
- I believe we need to make the process of stopping gambling about more than “just quitting”.
- I believe quitgamble.com has something unique to offer.

Let’s Make The World A Better Place Together
What Is Your Background?
At the university, I studied civil engineering and economics. On the side, I studied psychology and personal development. I was 4-5 when I started playing cards and roulette at home. We didn’t play about money, though; it was a way to learn mathematics for us.
In my 20s, I played a lot of online poker. I tried to become professional, but I neither had the skills nor the temperament. I probably played too much, but I didn’t see my gambling as a problem since I didn’t lose.
In 2013, I started working in the gambling industry. My company specialized in comparing online casinos. Over the years, we have accumulated knowledge within online gambling, web development, programming, marketing, SEO, working remotely, etc.
My interest in personal development and psychology continued to grow, and when I fell into depression in 2018, we changed the company’s orientation. All focus has been on developing a platform to help people break free from addiction.
To be honest, challenging the status quo of addiction and finding ways to help people break free fit my personality much more than comparing casinos ever did.
How Is quitgamble.com Funded?
We’re trying to keep our costs to a minimum. Currently, we’re 2 people working full time with the platform. I’ve paid for the development and maintaince of quitgamble.com for 7 years. We’ve applied for money from casinos, authorities and fundations, but we haven’t received any support.
Am I bitter, yes. I must admit it’s been extremely hard mentally, and often it feels like the world works against you rather than cheering you on for trying to make it a little bit better.
Anyway, the these years we’ve survived on income from selling backlinks on the old comparison sites. In 2024, we tried to charge our users for support, but that compeletely failed. People want help, but they don’t want to pay for it. So, in 2025, we’ve decided to open a few spots on the start pages to sell backlinks on. You can find these under Sponsors & Supporters and these sections are clearly marked that the links are gambling related.
Feel free to criticize us, however that’s the only way we can continue offering support to people worldwide.
Some might think we’re hypocrites, both trying to help people with gambling problems while at the same time generating money from the gambling industry. I can understand that criticism. If I had a big salary, drove a flashy car, and lived in a mansion, I’d probably criticize myself too. The truth is that we put all money into QG, and if I had more money, I’d spend that on development too.
As a side note, nearly every organization working with problem gambling are directly or indirectly funded by money from the gambling industry.
Every organization is dependent on money in one way or another; the only difference is
that we have some income ourselves.
What’s The Research Behind
quitgamble.com?
We based quitgamble.com on escape theory. We believe pain is the cause of addiction, and gambling is one way to escape the pain.
