Does Self-Exclusion Work? Danny Cheetham

Danny Cheetham is a gambling addict who battled in secret for many years. For that reason he now vows to never bet again and to get out of debt.

Danny is a big believer in technology being a major part in giving addicts a chance at getting a life again. Currently he is set to be completely debt free by 30. Because of this he is campaigning to make irresponsible finance lending stop for vulnerable people.

Danny was recently featured on BBC News: Gambling: ‘A banking App helped me beat my addiction’.
