Your first step is to acknowledge and admit that you do indeed have a problem with online gambling. Even if you never gamble offline, if you make bets online every day or several days a week, this could be a sign of a real problem, and you want to nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand.

After acknowledging that you have been doing too much online gambling, your next step is to stop visiting online gambling sites. The best way to do this step is to stop visiting gambling websites cold turkey (rather than slowly cutting back). After all, if you do not stop visiting these gambling websites completely, you may be tempted to resume gambling.

Your third step will be to take a break from getting online at all. If you have a laptop, ask someone you trust to hang on to it for you. If you have a desktop, unplug it for a while. In addition, do not allow yourself to get online at the library or on a college campus or at internet cafes or at a friend's house or anywhere else for that matter until you feel you have had enough of a break and you can really trust yourself to get back online without gambling.

Once you have been offline for a while and you feel you are finally ready to get back online without visiting gambling websites, your fourth step is to get back online using baby steps. In other words, only spend a few minutes online at a time. If you find yourself feeling tempted to visit gambling sites, get offline immediately in order to steer clear of temptation.
