Topic: Anti-Gambling Tools - page 2. (Read 508 times)

Once you have involved yourself in it becomes almost impossible for you to control your urge, you always want to go for more, more especially if you have not win for a while, the mindset is that, I will win, this I will win syndrome has made so many people lose funds meant for other things.

These tools should be personal, developing these tools needs seriousness and discipline to keep the action going, it has to be clear to us that gambling being an addictive behaviour should be avoided by folks who can't control the hunger when it comes.
This stuff keeps pushing even when you say no to it, I will say that determination is just the way forward and the answer to this situation.

You are right about all of that, that no one will ever care about what happens to us and other people will never sympathize when we are in a downturn. The one who cares about us is ourselves, not other people, and even the people we love and the people we trust, they can leave when we are in the lowest position. So as much as possible, we ourselves must continue to try to control every activity we do, including gambling. Don't let this gambling, which was originally for personal pleasure and entertainment, but because it is not controlled, it backfires on us and has a negative impact on us personally.

Gambling is too risky to play, so we have to be careful when playing it and never hope that gambling can make us rich, think of it as when we make a deposit it is the same as buying an entertainment ticket to get a sensation and pleasure.

If you want to control your gambling addiction or completely get rid of it, but you don't want to undergo therapy or have no one to talk to about your problems in gambling, this is the only way. You simply run away from gambling. Simple but effective. Going to a rural place with no gadgets will help to have another hobby completely. Spend your days/months doing another thing, away from the internet and anything that will make you think of gambling.

Yes, he's the only one who can help himself to control his addiction. Even if he gets so much advice, without realizing the negative effect of gambling on himself, nothing will happen.

It's tough to control the urge sounds like you are already an addicted gambler, you saying that some crypto casinos still find a way to let you in is just another excuse, I mean how did they let you in? By forcing you? Today its hard to find casino ads online unless you are visiting some websites where casino ads are expected, these things are well hidden from online this days, if you are still finding them it's you looking out for them, the problem isn't the casino it's your addiction controlling your whole body.

I think I don't have much to say to someone who doesn't take their problem as a serious sickness, you want to get healed? It's in your god damn hand, you are making money off your work or job since you talked about finance, how come you get addicted to this stage? Are you using the whole amount to gamble? You need help, find someone in your family that's very friendly and close to you and tell them about your problem with gambling, I am sure they will find a way to help you, this online replied only help some certain people but I feel your case is different.

One minute you will admit you are wrong and the other minute something will draw you back into gambling, you have lost control over yourself, you need to rescue your self through discipline, take your time off for a long time, go on holiday and open up to the person in your family that you think can help battle this addiction, I think this is the best solution.

I've experienced to become out of control in gambling before, and the effective solution to me is to stay away on the things that can tempt me to gamble. I went to a place away from city and gadgets so that there's no way to access an internet. This is an alternative solution if you want to control yourself or completely get rid of your gambling habit.

In the end you're the only one who can help yourself. Because even someone advice you of ways that can help to lessen or stop playing for good, if you have no discipline and you can't control yourself then nothing will happen.

Find something else to do, a replacement so to speak. Some prevention tools like website blocker or even the self-exclusion route you've done can easily be bypassed if you really want to. By replacing it with something else, you effectively block the gambling addiction part with a replacement addiction instead, one that's fine for you to be in or at least can be controlled a lot easier than gambling. Not really addiction tbf, maybe distraction can be more apt.

I've never really had issues with my gambling since I can control it rather well, not to mention my advice of finding something else to do, in my case which is drawing. Which can, btw be really time consuming.

You can destroy or sell all of your phone, PC or any device that can be used to connect internet, this will make you have no way to access online casino.

If you want to avoid to visit offline casino, you can hire a private driver and force him to not brought you into offline casino despite you keep asking or bribed him.

I believe my suggestion will 100% work.

I think this Is also a tool really useful ... or at least an advantage that I find in betting with cryptocurrencies is the use of cold wallets or multisignature wallets.
Even if I saw the result worth all the money in the world, I would never take that risk

I have not been in a similar situation like you when it comes to gambling, but I have had other issues in my life that also made it hard for me to control my own actions. I can tell you the most important thing is that you realised you have a problem and that you are trying to find new methods to cope with it. Everybody has issues in their life where it's hard to control emotions and our own actions. Just this weekend Matthew Perry died, he struggled for many years with alcohol addiction and it took him 15 rehab attempts to try and get his life in order. So, even a multimillionaire can't just fix his problems overnight. Realising that should help to make your recovery more bearable and focus on the long term goal to beat the addiction. There can always be setbacks and we shouldn't beat ourselves up too much. The best thing that has helped me to control my finances is to have different wallets or bank accounts, having one wallet only for small purchases online, one wallet for gambling and one wallet for long term holding. It might be a bit more work to control different wallets and save all the seeds in a secure way, but like that I can make sure to not touch my HODL coins for gambling or other purchases. Give yourself small allowances for each wallet so that you can still enjoy your profits from time to time.

What you are looking for is anti gambling tools? You aren't going to find it because they don't exists, the only person that can stop this addict is you, make up your mind and stay away from gambling for a long period of time, when your expectations are high from gambling this is the end result you will get ( addiction ). It's better to quit for now and go back to your job or other good source of income, I have figured out that the expectations people have from gambling is what put them in trouble.

See gambling doesn't exists to take care of the poor, it's not a way for the poor to escape their financial problems, it's just like the banking system,  every little charges they take from each individual account is worth millions every month, even if it's just under $1, because these things are dealing with a large amount of people, it's total gain for them, and that's same with gambling, they put you up with your luck, they understand how small the chances you have are and they plan to make money from it while you are hoping to become rich with gambling.

The moment you decide to open your mind into what gambling really is that will be the day you will rescue yourself from gambling addiction, this fact is very hard to accept by gamblers, not until they have spent years of trying over and over with nothing to show for it, to me it's easy because I always follow the principles of life, do not expect to reap rewards when you don't sow anything.

Things like daily limits should be put on the player and not the gambling house, am pretty sure we all want them to have certain tools to help control gambling habits but there is  a limit to how far they can help and the rest is up to us to fix our problem's. Besides if gambling is negatively affecting a user, I think self exclusion should be the option to take which I believe most casinos and sportsbooks have.

AFAIK very few have such tools because they try to maximize on how much profits they want to milk from us and will deliberately not want to have them...and will always be a personal effort.

don't Put Blame the casino for letting you back because they know that even if they completely Exclude you from their site you will always find way to gamble either in that site or in another so why they need to completely close your account when they can still earn from your addiction?
this is business and everything that will favor them is on the table.
well its good that you admitted that and also good to hear you wanting a good gambling activities than blaming anyone from your own mistakes.
the only best answer?


"SEEK FOR HELP " No one will Help you by all chance about how to manage it because it is you , but with the presence of your family and friends that will show complete care ? I know that somewhat you will make a good decision and better outcome.

That is true, our main enemy here is ourself. How we contain ourselves in front of those games.
So before you sit down and start your game, make sure you know your limits, time, money or other resources.
You need to understand that this is gambling, so it is not everyday that you will get lucky, most of the time you will go home as a loser.

You're not very clear in your opening couple sentences. You claim to have been allowed to self exclude, but you feel like they have allowed you a way back in. Maybe you could describe how you were able to circumnavigate the restriction? Did you speak to customer services later on and ask them to remove the restriction? Did you create a new account which was no longer restricted? If customer services let you back in, what procedures did you have to go through - like declaring that you did not have a gambling problem? Maybe you should make a complaint - first with the company and then with the gambling licensing company within your own country, who might be able to reach out and assist.

There are tools like blocking softwares. What this software do is to block gambling websites so that you will be tempted if you see one. This could word in conjunction with the self-exclusion you have activated for your online gambling platforms.

Here are some of the blocking softwares that I mentioned,

• www.gamban.com
• www.gamblock.com
• www.betfilter.com
• www.betblocker.org

You might want to try it and see if it's effective in your end. And of course, you need to practice your brain, re-wire then to think of positive things besides gambling. And the last one is to seek professional help.

imo, it is not something that we have to focus on to find every way to win it, I mean don't look at gambling games as a way to make money because that is not for the majority. Some local gambling sites that I have tried and also discovered that there are signals to groups that can directly manipulate the results of each game so I see that it is a place to take money from players, so So don't set too high expectations on profits and then drown in debt. I also have time to work with gambling websites during each period, even with more entertaining games, the odds for the house to win are still more attractive than the players.

First is discipline. I think that's the main factor in how you will control the gambling urge.
Accepting the loss. It's a fact that the house will always win so it would be better if we keep reminding ourselves that. We cannot win against the house unless we are super lucky.
Avoid chasing the loss. After accepting the loss you must also be aware that you might chase the losses, don't do that because the provably fair feature of any gambling site doesn't work like that. Once your funds are gone it doesn't mean they will give it back the same way. They will just give some but not everything. Again, you will need to be lucky for that to happen.

All this is regarding casino games because there's the house edge system. If you want, you can just switch to sports betting where it's easier to control the urge to bet.

I recommend professional help too since you acknowledge that you cant really control gambling by yourself. Think of professional help like having a coach in your corner. They're experts in tackling gambling issues and can provide personalized strategies just for you. It's like having a supportive friend who knows the ropes and can help you navigate through the challenges.

The casino will be able to find you and invite you back to the casino. It is your job to stick with what you want and if you want to leave gambling forever, you have to find out how. You cannot depend on other people to avoid gambling, especially since you are responsible for your life. No matter how hard the casino finds you, you must be able to resist the temptation to return to the casino and for this reason, one must learn self-control.

You can find other activities to keep you awake so you don't return to the casino. Casinos already provide a self-exclusion feature but if you don't have self-control, it will all be useless because you can still return to the casino to gamble. Everything will come back to you because you are responsible for yourself and you don't need tools to avoid the casino. You need to control yourself not to return to the casino and this requires continuous practice. So you can't give up on the situation because each of us has a chance.

It's not the casinos' fault that it took them a lot of time to implement the exclusion feature on your control or put a limit or control on your betting It is against their business goal, they are in a business to make a profit so their interest comes first.

That self-exclusion is only included because they want to be compliant but if they have their way I'm sure they want their players to play as long as they want to deposit and to lose as long as they can take it and to be challenged as they want because they are going to continue to make money if their players keeps playing.
