Gambling Addiction PODCAST #28: 'From Online Poker to Starting Gamban' - Jack Symons' Story

In this episode Jack Symons, founder and Chief Executive of Gamban, shares his gambling addiction story.

When did he start gambling?

When did it start to become a problem?

How did his gambling addiction lead him to start Gamban and help others?

What advice and tips does he have for others experiencing gambling problems?

What are his thoughts on the UK Gambling Act Review?

Jack speaks eloquently and candidly about his story. From starting out as a young man gambling on poker, to then playing faster, more addictive casino games like roulette, blackjack and online slot machines.

He shares plenty of advice and tips for you, and shares the story behind founding Gamban, and what challenges the company faces moving forward.

It's a fascinating journey to hear, and one that I hope you'll enjoy listening to.

I found it hugely inspiring.

Thanks once again to Jack for appearing on the Podcast!
