“Because there is a small percentage of people who need help who unfortunately cannot gamble responsible and recreation “Hi, that’s how it looks, that’s how it feels.

Cardboard says this partnership not only helps people who might be struggling with controlled games, it also helps him when he hears stories from people who are open.
“For many people (Anonymous gamblers) is the only answer,” he said. “I went to GA, and it’s great for a majority of people. For me, talking to new people that I haven’t talked to for years about problem games and how to overcome it is absolutely therapeutic.
“When I do the ‘comeback’, a new show, we premiere at Fanduel, or ‘Hello, my name is Craig’ on Audacy and WFan in New York City, it’s my GA. You get heard other people’s stories, share my story .
“It’s a good reminder to me even though I am almost seven years without games, so it will be smart. To hear other people’s story of improvement, the worst moment of life they are willing to verbalize is selfish very healthy for me to hear.

Cardboard preaches responsible games because of how it has become so normalized throughout the country. And that means the next generation will grow up in that world.
“It’s the biggest target group of people we care about because 21-year-old children are children,” he said. “They are still immature and don’t really get the full value of a dollar. So you want to make sure these kids have enough information as possible, especially when you have certain states … I just spoke with a radio program in North Carolina in day.
“Huge college basketball, college football state. So if you are a college child, it makes sense. ‘Oh, I go to bet on North Carolina, Duke, nc state,’ what it might be. It’s they are the kids , which is now legally allowed to do what we are most concerned about.
“My kids, the next generation of gamblers, or just people who like sports will talk about games now becoming a dinner table conversation.”
Cardboard does not say that the dinner table conversation is a bad thing. He feels because sports games are normalized that talking to friends and family about your problem or talking to someone you love showing signs of problem games will not be stigmatized.

“A good part of it is if it is normalized if it is mainstreamed, now it is much easier to ask for help. Because when I went through it was not. There was a lot of shame associated with being a dependent, “He said. “No one will admit they are a dependent. Your ego kicks in, ‘screw you. I’m doing well!’
“If you have a friend that you are worried about, talk to them. It’s # 1. You are the first line of defense. Before family, it is friends who know their friends are not themselves. They do not usually act .
“So do it, make it responsible, earmark a responsible amount against what you would go to the movies or a Broadway show. If you win then put some of that money away. If you lose, don ‘I think, That the answer is, ‘Well, let me bet myself out of it.’ That’s when you start getting into trouble.
