You could put a long, profanity-laden header and footer as a comment in your hosts reminding you of what a poo poo you're being. If nothing else you might at least make yourself feel :smith: about it.

But yeah, looking into CBT might be helpful as well?

Seconding that this is one of those "technical solution for an interpersonal problem" areas. If you're more technically inclined than your "wife" (assuming that you're not just implementing this to hold someone else hostage in a relationship), it's going to be hard to design or use something you can't work around. She probably needs to take the router with her while she goes to work, and replace your smartphone with a jitterbug, but if you need internet to work from home you may well just be hosed.

You're right about the first part.
However here's the reason I didn't explain it initially, because no one will believe me; I have a system.
Yeah it works 100% of the time.
However it doesn't "feel" like gambling because I know I can't lose.

So late at night I tend to lose all my winnings by just doing regular gambling instead of on system.

So the next day I have to then make back the lost winnings on system.

Which I then lose that night.

Although I'm still coming out ahead overall I'm wasting an incredible amount of time and with a new baby on the way I can't afford to keep staying up until 3am losing winnings every night.

E: think I need to just get a safe for my phone at night and put the router under the wife's pillow.
Could technically still get around it but it'd be a lot of hassle.

There is never a system in gambling.

edit: If you want people to believe you, explain the system. Unless you're literally exploiting a blatant flaw in some RNG or something, there is never a system.

like if you are actually winning real money on this RNG exploit, there will be a reckoning for you from the site, and best case scenario is "give us back all the money you won by cheating" and worst case is "we sue you for everything, and get a friendly lawyer to prosecute using the aforementioned CFAA"

If it's something like Hearts or some poo poo maybe you can play a non-monetized version at night (I assume this is code for "when drunk") rather than the real one?

Maybe you could also set up a domain and limit your login hours?

a bad RNG in a gambling site makes me immediately assume it's some cryptocurrency bullshit because they're the only ones dumb enough to do that, so the comedy result is they put out a hit on you on the darkweb and some fedora neckbeard shows up at your house with his katana to duel you and collect the bounty

the more i think about this situation, the unfortunate truth is that if you're trying to solve this problem with technology and can't/won't solve with therapy/CBT/getting yelled at by your wife, the only actual solve is literally just removing all access to technology for you. If you actually don't trust yourself this much, there's nothing that you can set up as a computer toucher that isn't bypassable by you the computer toucher

The router blacklist would have worked, so long as I didn't have the ISP logins available on a reset. drat https...

And I'm not too worried about the casinos breaking my legs as I'm being very careful with non traceable accounts and morally I'm not concerned as these are the scummiest of the lot when it comes to online casinos.

It's not even legal for them to offer their services in my country and they'd apparently get arrested if they ever tried to enter the country.

I'm just gonna get a lock box for my phone at night and maybe throw take the rj11 cable out of the router at night.

Yeah again this boils down to a "you shouldn't be trusted with internet connected devices" at this point.

edit: because the AML teams at your bank are better than you thinking you're untraceable and they will eventually figure it out and gently caress you up

like the further you talk about this i would legitimately remove your access to any internet enabled device (you don't even get a smartphone anymore, go buy a PAYG from walmart), consider getting a lawyer on standby, and be trying to see a gambling/addiction specializing therapist
