For people who have tried to stop online gambling but kept going back, what made it hardest to stop?

I’m asking because I’m trying to better understand the problem before building anything around it.

Was it mainly:

- gambling sites/apps being too easy to access
- urges during stress, boredom, or late-night hours
- having money available
- shame and not wanting to tell anyone
- making promises to yourself and breaking them later
- not having anyone to check in with

I’m especially curious whether a simple daily check-in system would feel helpful, or whether it would feel useless without an actual blocker.

Not selling anything here. Just trying to understand what would feel helpful, unsafe, or untrustworthy.
