I was reading some comments on line today and a story caught my attention, and I want to know how possible this is.

A guy claimed he won $5000 on a poker machine and that's where his addiction began, and when it get to the point that he lost his rent money to gambling he decide to take matters in his one way.

He proceeded by going to gaming commission and had his name banned by himself, ( Someone please tell me how this is possible?) never seen such in my country before. he claimed he still go back to casinos at times and he knew he can't ever win big again, because his name was flagged in the system, and if he win big they won't pay him.

He said he was limited to winning $200, that anymore than this he would have to sign his name and be subject to prosecution for trespassing. He claimed his move took his joy out from gambling real fast, and now he haven't been near a casino in over 10 years.

What do you think? This is an insanely move on oneself to stop addiction, something done right? Would you do the same if such is possible in your country?

OP, there is no sacrifice that's too much for anyone to curtail addiction, gambling addict go through, most times they don't even know what they are doing, gambling can mess people up, for this guy to take such decision, ordinarily one will understand what he might have been going through, if am an addict, and I know that taking this particular step he took will help me, I will do it several times, if it is allowed to do so, I just see nothing wrong with his act, he was just trying to be safe, I have seen so many people here saying that one banning itself is possible, I think that what the guy did is nice unless he is regretting it.

To me it was all about Killin the thrill he could get about the chances he could have on winning big money from gambling, if the chances are nor longer there and the money is not longer a factor besides the fun he could get, then we shouldnot be surprised such strategy or measure worked for him.
And honestly, I believe it would work on anyone how is addicted to gambling and continues to chase losses the same way he did.
Though, doing something as extreme as this would imply to find a new hobby or thing to partake in, so one can replace gambling, so the effectivenezz of the self-exclusion can be bigger, otherwise, the person will continue to try to participate in gambling and betting on underground and smaller markets, which are not included in the self exclusion system.

If the gambler made the big winning in the gambling site will be the most experienced gambler easy do this one,But if the gambler doesn’t make big win and loss the entire money.This mean that the gambler will make the money in the gambling site with the experience in that particular game in that particular gambling site.If they have less experience in the gambling site means,many less experienced gamblers will loss the big money in the gambling site.The gamblers should ready to experience themselves in the winning before the start of the game,So he can easy make of the money by the good memories in the gambling win.

Well, it seems obvious to me that these desperate measures would be easier to take by a gambler who has not experienced a significant win ever and most of his gambling history is plaged with crippling losses and anxiety. Nobody want to feel anxiety and hopelessness while gambling, not even addicted people, that is why they continue to gamble, in order to keep their hopes and expectations up.
If there was a gambler who not only lost significants amounts to the casino but also managed to get some decent wins for him to enjoy from time to time with his friends and family, then they would never resort to such big measures to exclude themselves of the gambling world.
In the end, it is a personal choice one must analyze carefully and evaluate the benefit/disadvantage ratio before pulling the trigger

Wait WHAT? He already banned his name yet they still allow him to play? The problem here is that the money still goes from him to the casino and yet nothing goes from the casino to him.
That's the catch there. He knows even if he wins he won't be getting paid so he rather stops entirely because what's the point of gambling when you're not getting your winnings? But if you look at it on the side, you will notice that these patterns he used to stop his gambling addiction cannot work for someone who gambles for fun. As long as there is an opportunity to participate in gambling, someone who gambles for fun will still go there and gamble. The pattern only works for someone who is into gambling to make money.

If he wins, he can still receive his winnings but is only limited to $200. So he can still gamble. He can't receive winnings of more than $200. Maybe that was the best way for him to reduce his gambling addiction, but who knows, maybe he still gambled at other casinos that didn't have his name on the list of names marked by the system. Anything can happen, especially if he has a large list of casinos that he can still visit, and we know that a gambler can have more than three of his favorite casinos.

But someone who gambles just for fun will not use self-exclusion because his goal in gambling is not to make money. He could understand that gambling was just entertainment and should not be taken too seriously. And it's better that way because at least we are still free to gamble at any casino and can withdraw more than $200 winnings.

he did the best for himself, how hard it was for him to let go of his gambling addiction, I was very enthusiastic about his actions because only a few people were truly aware that they were addicted to gambling, this should be an example for friends who have exceeded the limit of spending money on gambling

Yes, it's hard to get rid of any addiction, and gambling addiction isn't an exception. Some people on this forum say it's the hardest. So, the guy should serve as an example for us, for many of us here, I mean the banning himself from gambling part. He could be thinking, I won  $5,000 on a poker machine once, I can win again! But no, he was smarter than that.

What do you think? This is an insanely move on oneself to stop addiction, something done right? Would you do the same if such is possible in your country?
You wont really be doing such act if you werent that serious on quitting gambling addiction. Those moves or decisions that he had made might really be that too extreme but for the sake on quitting gambling
then he could actually say that it is really that effective. Why? you wont really be able to play up again and imagine that 10 years since your last play on which it do really proves out that he had been able to quit
up gambling for good. Those steps might be that extreme or really  that off the charts on which we cant really expect for some individual to reach out that kind of steps for him to avoid or completely
quit up gambling. If those things were possible and applicable then it wont really be that bad for those gambling addicts out there to do the same thing.

Just like i have said earlier that it might that too far extent for such action to be made but we do know that someone do able to successfuly quit up gambling with these kind of steps.
It isnt really something to be bad though. It is really just that unusual way or method on quitting gambling on which doing such actions arent something that you could
be able to encounter on day to day basis.

What I can think is that when a person does something like that, it is because he really went through something similar or that he was really very addicted and his experience must have been very strong, and for that reason he doesn't want it. things become reptiful or he falls into temptation again, perhaps his experience was so extreme, and even somewhat challenging in how traumatic that he preferred to do it that way, that is why when we are in a casino we must consider everything necessary to not fall again into the traps that harm us, and this means that if we try to see if someone has already been a follower, why should they be again? If he already curom, it is a way of protecting himself like this, it is something that he used for his own protection and it is something that should rather be admired, perhaps he is a hero of himself, more conscientious than sometimes the But since they are addicts they can end up committing suicide, in this order of ideas we can always make a difference.

For this reason we must always do our best to do things for our own good, even though winning an amount is enough to start with a bad streak and lose our temper, this is something that can happen, of course we must always maintain the autoncotnorl, but if there is some vulnerability in ourselves, then that attitude he did is not bad, and although it was an extreme measure, it was necessary and what he considered, not bad at all, I like people who are like that Protect yourself, this is worth doing and loving yourself much more.

Now every person who is afraid and cannot control it is always good that they can exercise some solutions so that they do not fall into addiction, sometimes it is good to prohibit themselves so that things like this do not happen, in this order of ideas we go to make a difference, everything that helps prevent addiction is welcome.


We're adults with decision-making power. People can avoid casinos following addiction if they want. They've weathered the storm and know what to do. Who are we to judge or minimize their experience? This is an intentional choice to safeguard their mental and emotional health, not only avoid relapse. Their life, their rules. Story over.

Online gambling shouldn't be demonized. Like other games, it's designed to be fun. Life is full of threats! Are you saying you never risk? Knowing your limits and self-control are crucial. Gambling should be relaxing, not stressful. Why not gamble if you have self-control? Not reckless abandonment, but embracing life, taking a chance, and possibly winning big. Play the odds, but remember, you're in control.

We are people who are always looking for everything we can do in a casino is make money, yes, it is something very normal, 'it could be said that these things are always good when they are taken in the most relaxed way possible every person I have thought of when they fall into addiction and because they don't know themselves, because really when things are bad enough, people should have a small alarm in their hearts and say that they have to stop, because things have to be controlled, that they have to stop taking a very dispersed or crooked course, you have to control it because this is the basis for everything, so clearly yes, a person has gone through a moment of distortion in their life such as gambling addiction and wants to get out of it , then an opportunity arises to play again, but it goes well, then you feel that you have to continue playing, then you become alarmed and take preventive measures to not continue falling into temptations, because it is excellent.

We, as coherent people and active players, see every time people who are very committed to the things they have to do, such as looking for a way to be with options to earn more money, and this sometimes makes greed itself lead to a direct path to addiction, and that in particular is something that we must always take into consideration that we can face, in the case of OP when he talks about that person who submitted or had more fun at the expense of having to protect himself, that is something of heroes, not any sane person does that, because it is a measure of saying no to something that we really like, but our own mental health and integrity are more important , so this is how they should take it People who are suffering from addiction right now, saying that they are more valuable than a game, that their life is worth much more, is simply a Fact.

What he did was okay, he already knew where his gambling addiction was going, so while he was still thinking, he acted immediately to help himself immediately, and what became his sign was that he spent the rest of his rent. That was a good idea, what he did was good. He knows he can't win the poker machine no matter how much skill he has. He is a hero.
What he did was only possible because he still had some control over his actions and he was committed to leave their gambling addiction behind, however this is not very easy to do, as even if you can get yourself banned from the casinos around you in this way, there are thousands of online casinos these days all competing among each other to try to get you to gamble with them, and it will be impossible to self-exclude yourself from all of those casinos in this way even if you wanted to.

OP the guy your mention here basically addicted himself to gambling. He was in the situation you mentioned here where he had spent all his rent money and there was a time he would have sold the house and gone into gambling if he had not stopped gambling. Here this man sacrificed himself to save himself. I think he did a good job of that. If it were me I wouldn't do such a thing because I always take gambling as a pastime and never turn it into an addiction. But if I ever become addicted I will look for other ways to stop gambling. Especially  gambling is completely illegal in my country, there is no way to cancel gambling registration from my country. So if I become addicted to gambling, I must follow other good means.

As long he did able to quit up no matter what the methods are, neither usual or unusual solution then it would be considered to be good since the main aim on making those actions is to quit up gambling for good
or would really be able to get rid of it. It is really just that people would really be normally be making out those kind of  comments just because this is really that something unusual if we do speak about the method on trying to get rid of gambling addiction. This one really shows that he's really that too serious on quitting on which trying to make him exclude out on everything or every places on which he would go.

Limiting wins, flagging himself or even doesnt pay him would really be the options that had been mentioned out on which it is really that too far extent for someone whose really that tending to quit.
Yes, it is that much but not something to be illegal. If this is the way he would really wanted then let him be. As long you would be able to solve out and get rid of addiction
then this what surely counts.

He is a fool (as are we all sometimes for sure) who is a hero to some no doubt.  If you cannot be a good example be the warning to others, any method that works for him is a good one.   Problem is it wont work for everyone, my first gambling was just as kids between lessons we played various games dealt with cards and plain cash.   I dont know how you lose the habit by banning yourself from just some avenues of gambling.
  What he can be commended for is throttling the amount he spent which is basically what I advise anyone to do, the game remains the same at any bet size but avoid excessive risk and you will last longer.   Life is a marathon not a sprint imo Smiley

Gambling I have never won a big game. But I've heard many people have won big bets with jackpots, but I gambled repeatedly based on that lure. And I got addicted to gambling for a while but didn't win any big bets. But having become addicted to winning, I have faced huge losses. So for a while now I have taken a break and sometimes meet with these gamblers once a week

I think that he's more of a hero than a fool. He knew his limitations, knew if he was allowed in he'd continue to gamble, he was also aware of the fact that such wins don't happen often and his chances of doing it again are slim, so why not stop completely and do something else instead?
I wouldn't do it because it would feel like disabling yourself. What if he changes his mind one day and wants to try his luck or goes to a casino with friends and scores a win. He won't get the money, so self exclusion is only for really hardened gamblers who can't see any other way.

This guy knows himself well and he took the right action to prevent more damage to himself and his family and friends because he lost that huge amount of money quickly, he would be running to his friends to borrow some more in order to recover what he has just lost. Now that he already passed those trials and managed to survive for a decade not to get close there, he should not be thinking of coming back because he won't be safe and secure unless he had the same mindset 10 years ago.
Banning himself is somewhat unusual because what we usually hear is either the casino bans a gambler or another person but in the case of OP shared, I can't really believe it. A hero to himself (or not), if we want not to fall into addiction then have to stop gambling in the first place. Because banning himself couldn't stop him from gambling, there was online gambling which for sure was not included in his exclusion, so he still had the chance to continue his addiction. But if he tends to stop gambling, he could find it as an excuse and force himself to totally forget gambling.

~ What do you think? This is an insanely move on oneself to stop addiction, something done right? Would you do the same if such is possible in your country?

Apparently, he's done a good thing with banning himself from gambling. And now he's free from his addiction. Maybe someone explained him that poker machine(or as it's called Video Poker on online gambling sites) is not something where you can win because of your skill, it's a totally luck-based game like slots and dice and many others. Fool or hero, you ask? This guy is a hero, in my opinion. We need more heroes like him.

Self-banning yourself in a country which has regulated gambling is possible given that every casino needs to to KYC in order to operate legally. Stopping yourself while you are still at the green is actually a pretty good way to stay ahead of your luck before the house edge catches up to you. So the story in the OP sounds realistic and actually something more people should be considering.

With crypto casinos self-exclusion is also possible but you would have to contact each one individually.
