This is quite important because indeed with conditions like that we can create several conditions where we can gamble as usual without worrying too much about going too far in gambling.
Basic things like this seem quite trivial, but because of the trivialities of things that make it important because if trivial things like this are not done then indeed we are getting closer to addiction that occurs.
But sometimes many people don't realize things; like this so they hit what they should have determined beforehand which resulted in them becoming uncontrollable in the gambling that was carried out.

The use of self-exclusion is dependent on the desire of the player to control his gambling activity. Even when not addicted, gamblers can use the self-exclusion function of the casino in order to mitigate their gambling activities and alienate themselves to gambling in a short period of time. Within this period of time, the slight urge to gambling may return to normal thus making the gambler who uses self-exclusion to fully control themselves again since they will be barred from accessing the platform momentarily and within that period of time, the eagerness to play gambling game might be lessened.
But on the other hand I agree with what you are saying here because before they really become gambling addicts they can do it at any time so they don't think too much about gambling until they become addicts.
It is said for self help books that you should read them when you don't need them, because when you eventually need them they don't help much. With the mentioned feature we could say the same: self-exclusion is a great tool when you are able to use it. For those already addicted, I don't think it will help much unless the gambler asks for help and somebody else helps him click on the exclusion.
But it's always good to have at least the option.

I do know someone very close who was addicted to gambling, he lost his life by suicide and the letter he wrote is so sad, he so much believed in gambling as the only way to get is life together and gambling took everything from him, gambling addiction is something that affects the way gamblers think, do not get in such corner.
You don't have to plan a life changing solution with gambling, it's not good for your health and for your future, there is assurance that you will lose, that's why it's called gambling, I think people should try to understand what gambling is before they start thinking that they can get rich through gambling, I have never had such thought in my head and I will never do that to myself.
It's sad to see someone close to gambling addiction to the point of having to end his own life because gambling has taken everything from him. He should have stopped before it was too late, despite losing almost everything he could have. But he has to tell people close to him so that people close to him can really know how to help him. Without it, no one could help him, which would end his life.You don't have to plan a life changing solution with gambling, it's not good for your health and for your future, there is assurance that you will lose, that's why it's called gambling, I think people should try to understand what gambling is before they start thinking that they can get rich through gambling, I have never had such thought in my head and I will never do that to myself.
That's why we shouldn't depend on gambling and never think gambling can make money. Many people have tried but failed and lost everything; that person is an example. Getting rich from gambling is possible but we shouldn't try it because the risk behind it is not worth what we will sacrifice.
A year later we thought he finally gave up, he looks more serious and no traces of playing bet was detected again, but that's all a lie, because he was playing on a second phone he no one knew he had, and things got worsen.
Gambling is not by force, it's not a must to gamble, it's been a while that I gambled last and before that I don't win but lose all my money to gambling, if those money are not mine or I took a loan, I would have been in big trouble right now, I really pity the life of those gbling addicts
The impact of this second will usually be worse than the previous one and we can never imagine what it will do. If he's been through something like that, maybe he needs a professional to help him cure his gambling addiction. The important thing is that we can control ourselves and not try to take loans to gamble. And if we can't do that, it's better not to gamble at all.

Most of the people who struggle with gambling addiction became hooked when their decide to chase a particular direction and losing id the most looked up to direction that have led to gambling addiction since the player will constantly chase after the loss and in a bet to recover become addicted.

Because the internet is one of the triggers for a gambling addict to return to gambling in all ways so staying away from the internet is a good way for me.

i guess what i mean is, with these smaller crypto casinos, you can deposit and play before filling out any information. with a brick casino's site you can't deposit without adding your bank info or cc... so if you're on the self block list you are stopped before you can relapse.
As I understand this, you mean to say that on a reputed big casino where KYC is mandatory, the casino has all over data. And if you start to lose more, you should move yourself in self block list (i don't know if this feature exists in casino sites) and you are not allowed to play further until you unblock yourself.
Anyways keep in mind again this is the gambler's decision and even without including yourself in the self block list, the gambler can control himself and refrain from gambling if he is willing to stop. However, most gamblers fail to have control over their emotions.
And it's not like you can unblock yourself at any time. It used to be quite easy to find a workaround for these but laws are getting tighter on this, as there's no point having self exclusion if you can just undo that so easily. That wouldn't be self exclusion, it would be just "not gambling".
This is true. The problem on self exclusion was a user can always register on different casino to play again if his addiction kicks in. This is the advantage of casino being accessible online because players has a lot of way to still play despite their account is on self exclusion status.
I think knew this that’s why they ate just adding this feature for compliance only but they are not very strict on it’s implementation because some user still bypass it through the use of vpn abnd new register account.

This days, it's pretty easy to use the self exclude button on the gambling site, but pretty much difficult to stick to it without help, this is because, for an already addicted gambler, there is no way you enter the internet that you won't see a gambling ad, and that could result to another serious urge to out and gamble.
South Park is right, if you can't rely on yourself to beat your gambling addiction there will never be a solution for you, don't go around looking for a solution when you are the only one that can get your problem fixed, I don't drink and I don't do smoking, and I keep wondering how people get addicted to such things because they are not something that sweater the tongue, the first time I tried them out I was like what the hell? 😄 but yeah this is gambling which is different, money making easily get anybody addicted, either the right way or the illegal ways.

For want of a better analogy, imagine a bulldozer in your lawn destroying everything you hold dear. Achieving victory? Yeah, try taking a road trip by yourself without a GPS. People can become addicted to a wide variety of things, and the "why" behind this is a potential treasure for understanding. Though smoking and drinking weren't your thing, remember that to someone else they may be the equivalent of a warm blanket on a chilly night. Gamblers? They could like the excitement, the opportunity for quick money, or the shared experience. It's not so much that one's "taste buds go wild" as that one's vices acquire an irresistible pull on one's personality.I do know someone very close who was addicted to gambling, he lost his life by suicide and the letter he wrote is so sad, he so much believed in gambling as the only way to get is life together and gambling took everything from him, gambling addiction is something that affects the way gamblers think, do not get in such corner.

The story your friend told you is heartbreaking; it's a stark reminder of the destructive potential of gambling addiction. It begs for the assistance of an expert. Successful treatment may involve talking it out, CBT, or even medication. And certainly, learning the ropes of gambling before diving in is essential. It's a gamble with substantial potential for loss, not a surefire way to get rich. Play it calm and calculated, fellow netizens, if you're going to ante up at all!
one of the things that bothers me about gambling with crypto is the lack of identity verification. the self ban list that brick casinos, and their sites, have can really help someone with a gambling problem. they can add their name to the list, and they are barred from entering that casino, certainly from cashing anything out.
I don't think many of us will really understand what you mean by the privacy verification issues you mentioned that it is the problem with cryptocurrency casinos since verification has been an easy task on most of the crypto casino sites we have around. Most of the players here already know about KYC and what to expect from a casino that is regulated and requires KYC both as a monetary requirement or a prerequisite to solving some issue in the casino, but regardless, cryptocurrency casinos don't provide an escape route to KYC procedures.

I don't think that it's really possible for a gambler to live without internet. I think in this age and time no one will be able to live without an internet connection. Internet is a necessary thing for this time and restricting yourself from using it is not going to be helpful in reducing the addiction.
Those who avoid something for sometime are mostly reattracted to that thing with higher intensity. And, in this case if a gambler is going to restrain from online casinos than things will be even more worse for that person. It's always better to limit the usage of those casino sites in order to decrease the intensity of the addiction.
I agree that if a gambler has made the decision that he/she is going to give up the addiction of gambling then the person will do their best to avoid any activity that takes them towards gambling. They will have to focus on other things and have conversation with loved ones so that the intensity of the addiction starts reducing every day. However, it isn't an easy thing to give up an addiction, it requires a lot of effort and will power to be successful in this endeavor.

What do you mean by self-block list? But I agree with what you said that as long as the gambler can control himself while playing gambling, there is still a big chance that he will change or stop his inclination to play gambling, this is true.
Because once a gambler can no longer control himself, it only shows that there is already a sign of gambling addiction and this is a problem for such a gambler. Because controlling emotions is definitely not going well because of addictions.
Obviously the emcoines next to the addiction is the most dangerous thing that can happen, because the adrenaline in people is always very harmful, it is difficult to control things when they get out of control, I think that when you enter a casino you have I have the predilection that anything can happen , you can lose what you enter in the casino or multiply it and what almost always happens is that you lose money , and for this reason you should not be sad or fall into depression or enter a casino is committing the money that is going to be risked , that is why the problem of addiction is so dangerous when it is not attacked.

This is just the basics, but anyone should be aware of it:
Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.
Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.
Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible, they will make you loose some control innevitably.
Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone.
Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling?
What about stopping gambling and betting? Can you direct your energy in a positive and creative direction, and not in a senseless waste of time chasing a win? Gamblers don't admit it, but the main goal is still getting a win, and not a process. If you want money, then start working and earn money, and not lose your last money in slots. That is if you've already gone a bit far in gaming and betting. Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.

I can agree that there are not such things like free lunch and miraculous wining of huge amount of money in gambling. However, not all gamblers play jut hoping to get rich but they really enyoj the process.
I also think that very few gamblers can actually make enough for a living, for majority this is just for fun and probably some extra money from time to time
And for those who are already addicted is not so easy to stop. I believe that most very active gamblers have specific mindset that is not so easy to understand for those who are not into gambling.

Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible
Drugs and alcohol is number one for gambling addiction because it add more excitement and good feeling on that adrenaline rush ( my own experience)One more thing to consider is activities, it’s so important to have other activities or hobbies to do at home or outside and replace that empty time you spend in gambling by your hobbies such as working out, practicing sport, trips or games with friends.
So far, I admit that sports can also help us to fill our free time or for example take up a hobby that keeps us busy so we don't have to be fixated on filling our time by just looking for the pleasure of playing gambling, but at least spending our free time with other hobbies, I usually use it to bicycle. it's healthier makes the mind more positive

Those are actually good little pieces of advice imo. As you said I believe casual gamblers should set a budget limit before they even start. For example, you could say "As a gambler", I will only allow myself to spend $100 this week on gambling, and the following week I'll limit it to $50, and so on. It's important not to exceed this limit under any circumstances. Even if you experience losses it's better to stop and avoid the temptation to use more money.
If you can't handle to this practice, I'm certain you'll find yourself on the negative side of gambling losing a lot of money that you wouldn't even anticipate losing. It's important to recognize the seriousness of this issue and the potential problems it can lead to.

For gamblers who feel they may be dealing with addiction it is important for them to seek some help from others, whether it be close friends or family members as you mentioned and make sure to get forced by taking breaks time to time. hero member
