Matt Zarb-Cousin started gambling at 16, lost £20,000 by 20, and quit on his 20th birthday. What followed became one of the most impactful recovery journeys in the gambling harm space.In this episode of Evive Live, Adam and Christina sit down with Matt to talk about how Gamban works, why it's nearly impossible to remove on iPhones, and why blocking software is one layer of a recovery ecosystem rather than a standalone solution. Matt also shares a sharp-eyed view of what happened when US states legalized sports betting and British operators crossed the Atlantic, why prediction markets and leveraged trading are gambling by another name, and what it will take for American policy to catch up with where the UK eventually got to.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS🟢 Evive — Digital support for gambling behavior change🌐 https://www.getevive.com/📱 Download the app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/evive-gambling-support/id6450926060🟣 The Broke Girl Society with Christina Cook — Community and recovery support for women🌐 https://thebrokegirlsociety.com/ 🎙️Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-broke-girl-society-podcast/id1575593868🎙️Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/74DP23EzfR6WPpPMLYq45x📺 YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@thebrokegirlsociety🎧 The Modern Meeting Podcast with Adam Lyons — Gambling recovery, real talk🌐 https://themodernmeeting.com/ 🎙️ Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-modern-meeting/id1779060982🎙️ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1jMSSKkadnvzbvZl33dzZc📺 YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@ModernMeeting━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔔 Subscribe to Evive Live for new episodes featuring the clinicians, researchers, advocates, and people in recovery who are changing how we think about gambling harm.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Evive Live is produced by Evive, a digital health platform dedicated to gambling behavior change.
