How to avoid the temptation of casino advertising mailings: reliable methods

1. Inventory and unsubscribe

1. List of all mailings:

Enter the keywords "casino," "bets," "gambling," "bonus" in the mail search.
Collect all found letters in a separate folder or label.

2. Mass unsubscribe:

Open the first email → click the Unsubscribe link.
Repeat for all senders. If not, go to step 3.

3. Spam complaint:

In your email client, select This is Spam or Spam Complaint.
Repeat until the mailings stop arriving.

2. Set up filters in the mail client

Client	Steps to Set Up a Filter
Gmail	Settings → Filters and blocked addresses → Create a filter: in the "From" field enter @ * .casino → Action: "Delete" or "Move to Spam"
Outlook	Rules → Manage rules and alerts → New rule: "Received messages" with "casino" in the address → Delete or mark as spam
Thunderbird	Tools → Message Filters → New: "If From address contains casino" → Put in "Trash" or "Spam"
Apple Mail	Rules → "If any title" contains "casino. com → Move to Recycle Bin

Keyword templates: add not only domains, but also parts of the themes: "spin," "jackpot," "promo."

3. Create a backup mailbox

1. New address for personal contacts:

Main box = only for friends and important services.
Second box = for subscriptions and any registrations.

2. Regular cleaning of the "subscription" box:

Incoming emails = mailings, unsubscribes, spam.
Once a week, clean the entire box: remove everything older than a week.

4. Technical blocking of links and images

1. Disable automatic image loading:

In the mail settings, turn off "Download pictures automatically."
No ads will appear without a preview.

2. Browser plugin (for web mail):

AdGuard or uBlock Origin: Add a filter to the URLs of distribution services (Mailchimp, SendGrid).
Block all domain space like '* .mailchimp. com`, `*.sendgrid. net`.

5. Alternative sources of information

Subscribe to RSS feeds: instead of mailings, use a news aggregator on secure topics.

Set notifications in the bank's application: get information about transactions and bonuses directly, without promotional mailings.

Use Telegram bots of official clubs: if you want to stay informed, but without spam by mail.

6. Psychological techniques

1. Delayed response:

Do not open all new mailings immediately, but check the "read later" mark in 24 hours.
During this time, the desire to check the special offer usually passes.

2. "Black list" in the mind:

Keep a short diary: when the letter arrived, what emotions caused and how you dealt with them.
Analyze triggers and reinforce the belief "I don't need this."

7. Regular audit and support

1. Monthly filter check:

Add new domains and keywords as new games and operators become available.

2. Reporting Partner:

Share a screenshot of the filter list once a month with a trusted person so that they control the cleanliness of the settings.

3. Punching analysis:

If the letter slipped, immediately add it to the filter and mark the reason for the breakdown in the diary.

A comprehensive approach - from mass unsubscribe and strict rules of the mail client to psychological tricks and third-party technical barriers - will allow you to completely get rid of the temptation of casino mailings and reduce the level of stress when abandoning gambling.
