Topic: All your entertainment things must have an external limiting feature, agree? - page 10. (Read 1662 times)

^ You are definitely right, it depends on how to handle the gambler himself as a gambler. Just like you are spending your money to entertain your self, like watching a movie in a theater and spending your bucks in popcorn and soft drinks while watching. Sometimes we noticed that we are spending too much upon the entertainment we did but we realized we need to have to manage our money from spending on it. A limitation should always there even we think that it is just for fun and I am agreed by the OP.

The juggle between making money from gambling and enjoying while gambling not everyone can handle it. The moment one can handle it and have control they would be able to have fun and enjoy the game as it is meant to be that way but people have turned it as money making machine. Some can turn it in their favour and rest of them just keep losing it.

It's a must that we should limit ourselves as we gamble or any leisure and entertainment that we're involved with. And times do come that you are unable to help and control yourself because of the emotion that you're allowing to explode.

In gambling, the points mentioned are correct. You can't direct a casino or house and tell them that they should limit their gamblers because it's their livelihood and they earn from it. This limitation must be applied to ourselves on our own.

Making money is one of the biggest points of gambling, I agree. But the main thing about gambling is always fun. You can experience a lot of trouble when you miss this point. Making money is, of course, great, but I think don't forget to have fun while dealing with gambling.

The primary purpose of gambling businesses is to make money not to limit their customers spending that money by putting such features and regardless on what feature a casino or sports betting site implement. if a gambler is really into it, especially when their in a winstreak there's no stopping them from playing.

The gambling casino will never agree to this and it is hard to implement. The casino owners want people to wager more and more and they do not care if people are losing their money quickly.
The only option is to limit yourself and to know your boundaries and play within certain limits so the loss wont make us bankrupt.

That's the purpose of gambling right? For entertainment, and it can make us forget our problems and the reality once we are on the game because we are too focused on playing. It has the same effect as alcohol and drugs, it makes us forget everything. And that's also are the major addictions people usually have.

We really need to limit ourselves when gambling to avoid getting so into it. We need to control ourselves when gambling, but I don't think houses would provide that limiting feature. Casinos would not care if their customers are getting addicted or not, as long as they are earning. It's not actually the casino's job to limit every gambler, it's on us.

I doubt any gambling house will come forward to implement such hour restrictions because it will deeply impact their core business in this highly competitive times and due to covid19 outbreak and its isolation requirements, gambling houses are reaching their new highs in terms of revenue generations hence they may not prefer to get disturbed during their peak times.

Moreover, a gambling should feel their own responsibilities to restrict themselves. I guess every gambling house will say the same thing if you ask about adding such restricting features. In my country, there is no restrictions about smoking and alcohol consumption which is left to individuals like if they care their own health then they should limit themselves. When government itself working this way, how we can expect a business corporate to care about their users.

A casino which prohibits you from gambling? Why would they do that? It's all a matter of business for them. They don't care how addicted you are because the more the money you spend, the happier they are. Maybe the casino itself will only interfere the moment you create some commotion.

With regards about the physical limitong feature, it can be an effective one. However, we had saying that "If there's a will, there's a way" . Even how many phone calls came from your friend or even how many alarms you set, they will be all pointless if you are really eager to gamble. So for me what is more important for limiting yourself  is self discipline. Because if you are disciplined enough, such simple temptation can't defeat you

I really agree with this, I also experienced gambling with my friends which made us happier and to bond more while gambling.
But if we will get to use with this and always losing our money on gambling while we entertain, it's not healthy anymore. Since there are some gamblers who treat gambling for entertainment and do not care even they lose their money, we should be aware of this kind of mentality.

Feature like that is good as long as it is safe and won't be abused. It should however exist in most things in society that people can get addicted to and involve gambling. So I don't see why it shouldn't happen to physical casinos, foods, sports etc.

I probably won't be too concerned if my relation is "addicted" to organic fresh mangoes... same way I won't be too concerned if he/she is "addicted" to good betting business that pays him consistently or pays his bills.

Casinos and businesss shouldn't allow things that cause addiction to customers... especially those customers that consume unhealthy/unsafe/bad things  from them. You don't make your website/building/products too attractive if people are getting addicted to bad/unsafe things in them.



By the way, I'm abit cautious of the words "external limiting factor". The external factors should be stated clearly.

I'm sure that you know that when we don't limit our entertainment then it will result in addiction and when addiction start some things bad or not good might happen. Some people sell their things just to have money for gambling. That is why I strongly agree that there should be a limit to everything that can cause bad things.

Possible reasons why you get excited over something is because of doing the same thing over and over which makes you bored and makes you wanna do other things that you might have think of like gambling for example. Everyone must have limit to everything when it comes to have entertainment.

Indeed but in all honesty, why would gambling casinos put much effort into that right? I mean, it would still be quite reliant on the self-control of the individual himself. Especially if one is a deep in to it type of addict, they'd literally do anything to do what they want, maybe even flying to another country if given the chance. Plus, the "limit" itself is kind of an abstract thing tbh and is mostly judged subjectively. There really isn't any fixed limit for every one of us after all, so letting a third party do it for us may actually just be detrimental at times.

Given a scenario where gambling casinos make you stop gambling after let's say 3 hours, most players would probably opt to leave the said casino and play somewhere they could paly to their fill right? This is contradicting the initial idea of a gambling casino which is to make money, so why would they do so right? I'm not downsizing the idea of having a limit feature but just saying that casinos would probably not do it since their main goal is to profit and the like.

When your mind at stable state, you may assume like you have all the control over yourself. But when you are too excited with your adrenaline triggered, your assumptions definitely go upside down. This is the simple reason why we do come across lots of addicts everywhere. Yes, not just in gambling but with any other activities, which makes you feel like too excited or too aggressive may end up making you an addict.

When an activity is capable of making you feel like a child (due to rush-up/emotional stir-up), you must need an external help to limit you.

Gambling is capable of enabling you to time-travel. Yes, you will forget all your stress of your family problems and your work pressures. So, get back to your time of present, you must need some limiting feature in terms of hours. It can be from a mobile alarm or a friendly warning from family members but a perfectly working one should be what that casino itself not letting you to continue, agree?

Limiting feature may not be needed for a physical casino as you cannot stay there all the day but definitely needed for online houses.

I believe this is time for demanding such limiting feature from the all our crypto gambling houses. This may not work in their favor hence we cannot expect them to agree on hearing such a demand on first time itself. But, when gamblers start supporting a house with such a feature, other houses may start implementing it.

A change for good cause may start only when we voice out!

Think about talking to your gambling houses not just for you but for all other fellow gamblers who never realize their addictions.
