Topic: Are you willing to go to self-inclusion? - page 3. (Read 672 times)

I don't know what might happen in the nearest future but if it needs for me to do a self exclusion then all I am going to do is that choice. If it all it takes for me to get self excluded then I'll do that if I am too much and there's no way for me to stop. But so far, I am good and I can control myself and whenever I hit a jackpot, I am for sure going to spend that money first and won't allow the casino to take it back without me spending it first to anything that I wish to spend it to.

That's one way to get busy. All you have to do is to make yourself busy from the real world things that you do. Whether you go to the physical casino or online casino and you want to get stopped, do something for yourself and make not notice of it that you're able to skip gambling because of those activities that you do in real life.

There was a time when I was almost addicted to gambling most especially on sport bets and at that point I was going all in to target the bigger amount of winning and each time I try to stake high amount so that the outcome could be Worth it, but each time, I keep losing and almost going insane.


But since is an online casinos and I see the self exclusion feature on the said casin, I just decided to get myself excluded from the casino without any space to get back, so yes I have experienced this before and it helps a lot.

This is actually very hard for some gamblers, not everyone can do it but there is an option in casino where you can just deactivate your account and you are good to go and it wouldn't open again until the said time or duration has reach before the allow you to activate back the account. If an addicted gambler is serious about his self control, he will do this ASAP and practice lowkey way so he doesn't get Called out again.

Another option I think a gambler can do about all this is to get their self occupied by many work as possible. I have not seeing a gambler that will play a game in a casino the whole day. Used your time very well and do your thing, you will become a responsible casino person unless you don't do anything and you see gambling as way of making money.

Wow, this is the first time I'm coming across such idea of giving yourself a ban from a casino. Well it will definitely be a good idea for someone who really wants to change and not spend too much in gambling even when the temptation seem to be much. With such practice and determination its possible he might get to a level where he no longer need a ban on himself before he can gamble responsibly. I also know of a friend whom after winning in gambling, he make a fixed  deposit to a banking institution and locks the money for a duration of time, and that has been helping him. Any strategy that works best to a gambler in trying to avoid addition or irresponsible gambling should be applied because gamble can sometimes be tricky and mess with our emotions.

Everybody knows what's best for them, gambling is a choice and the choices you make in gambling is in your own basic interest, so it's wise you make the best. That decision is his best since he knows he's kinda prone to over gambling if he continues going to the casino, hence putting an end to possible addiction before it even begun.

You can go extreme to protect yourself from the adverse effect of gambling if you know you're not emotionally strong to curb the excesses of gambling, it's advised that if your emotional strength is low, then don't gamble

For myself placing a ban isn't the best and I rarely, if at all visit physical casinos for some time now, I placed a ban on myself from visiting physical casinos . It's better online for me.

I would never willingly put my own responsibility in the hands of others and especially wouldn’t rely on it as a way to control my behavior. This sounds like some seriously mentally weak shit right here. I don’t know why people with addictions can’t just take responsibility for their actions. Some people just want to be deadbeats. No amount of help can change them. They have to want to change.

The fact is - many of the users here are gambling addicts regardless of whether they have a severe, moderate or normal addiction. After all - most of them are participant in gambling campaign, so self-exclusion as you ask is unlikely to be done by them. As long as gambling is profitable for them - then no exclusion is expected, meaning they will continue their gambling activities.

Self-exclusion is certainly necessary if you really do not want to be involved in gambling anymore. This means that you have really wanted to forget about gambling. Self-exclusion is also necessary for those who are undergoing a gambling addiction rehabilitation process - of course this is recommended by experts.

If the person has indeed the desire to play, he will find alternative options on how to play and where to play. Though self-inclusion is one way to prevent further addiction, but at the end of the day, it is still the person who can really discipline himself from getting out of his restrictions.
Other ways that he can do to prevent from getting addicted : allocate budget per period, once depleted - need to stop and wait for another period, look for other activities such as hobbies that will divert your attention from gambling - this will occupy your free time other than playing games.

While reading your comments above, I then realized that it can be hard for a gambler to self exclude them self from an online gambling site. Because in most casino sites, after excluding yourself from the casino you can also contact the casino to unlock your bet account through the customer care service. Meanwhile on physical casinos, since you have excluded yourself from gambling on the casino I am not sure that you can gamble on that same casino unless you visit another casino. Although few casinos that are looking forward for customers might still allow the gambler.

The concept of self-inclusion is smart, but with enough willpower, someone can easily bypass it. If the story you mentioned is a true event, choosing to be banned from the casino on purpose is a clever way to avoid being tempted to go back in, and I would personally do it myself. It's inevitable for someone who's won the jackpot with just a dollar to not think about going back to try their luck again, a few dollars at a time. We all know how easy it is to get carried away, and losing what you've earned can happen in the blink of an eye.

It still is a relatively safe way to protect yourself, but should you want to gamble again, you'll find ways to bypass it if you're desperate.

You can exclude yourself from becoming addicted like them, but this question may not be relevant for for those who are gamblers.
Any gambler may need to stop gambling when they no longer see gambling as entertainment. Gambling is not for earning income that they can win regularly, meaning they should gamble to entertain themselves and not for money.

If gambling is to entertain yourself, then you don't need to exclude yourself that strictly because of course you know how to do it responsibly. But if you basically don't want to be addicted, then don't even approach gambling from day one.

Self excluding oneself is not a bad thing, as it's literally a feature which helps us to gamble responsibly. So judging from this scenario about him requesting the physical casino to exclude him from coming to gamble as usual, does it mean he/she also excluded himself from online casinos too? Because with the high rate at which people gamble comfortably from the comfort of their homes through the help of internet devices (i.e smartphone & laptops), it will be very unfair and of no use if the person in question only excluded himself from just only physical casino, while he is still having access to online casinos for gambling. Hence, for self exclusion to be effective, one needs to self exclude himself from all channels.


However, in response to the topic, if I was to be in his shoe of winning big, like a million dollar or half, I will definitely take a break from gambling, but that doesn't mean I'm going to openly self exclude myself. Because the best kind of self excluded is the one done within oneself (i.e personal willingfull adjustment of character and behavior), and not what's done publicly.

This is what im trying to say too on which this do turn out to be self-exclusion considering that you are really that excluding  yourself on going into these places or even on platforms or any place on which you dont really want for them to let you enter. This isnt really that inclusion on what OP is really that talking because if we do really tend to understand the whole context then it would really be clearly talks "exclusion" on this aspect.
So it would really be just that understandable that if you would really be not liking for those places to let you enter then all you do need to do is having some request or asking them and they would granting it out.
When it comes to this kind of situation then only a few could really be able to mind off about their condition specially on the time that they are really that playing gambling. Some would be aware that they are already losing that much and they've been dealing or involving with it for longer hours and make up some those unbalanced way of living then it would be impossible that you cant be able to notice it out. Just like been said by others that only a few would really be able to do such thing because we do know that not all would really be that good when it comes to self control and turned out to be blinded by greed on the time that they would be playing gambling. One of the most common problem for most gamblers is that they could be able to stop on the time that they are losing that much. This is indeed the main issue.

Gambling addiction is a more or less like a disease that have ravaged the gambling sector, you may like to call it and this is reason why it will always merit in discussions we have now and always on gambling, whether in casinos or other gambling games like the sport bets. I don't want to refer to it as a menace but it's something of that nature. The moment you're able to fight the addiction in gambling and attain that self-discipline from such habit, you've tackled the major issue bedeviling gamblers. Now, you can gamble healthily without having panics and heart attacks.

Yes, this is definitely true and this is really whats happening on gambling field. Lets say 99% of them would really be trying out to play once more or would be pushing their luck into their limits on which they do believe
that they might be able to pull out some another jackpots on which on the moment that you would really be thinking up this way, then you would really be that making yourself despeate and this is something which is really that bad for you in longer runs. It is really that a good step if you would really be having those kind of considerations on the time or moment that you do find yourself getting that impulsive feeling.
There's no bad thing that you have done as long it do really shows that you are trying out to avoid something specially on upcoming disaster. Dont tend to tolerate that kind of emotions on the moment that you would be feeling it out. Majority of gamblers would really be just that neglecting about on the risks involved and thats why they do messed up their lives due to bad decisions in life that they are making. If they would really be
just that mindful about on the things that they are dealing with then they wont really be coming up into this kind of ending. This is why it would really be that important that on the time that you do play gambling then you should really bej ust that playing for the sake of fun so that just in case that you are really that losing money then you wont really be finding yourself having issues in regarding into this one.

Though such idea is good but I doubt if Such person has genuinely opted out or self excluded himself from gambling, because Gamblers can be convincing and later go back to what they rejected. His words is as regards to excluding himself from a casino near his premises but never included online, of which such person can register an online account and continue his betting and no one would know. So it would have been nice if a person win big and look for something thangible doing and stop gambling genuinely not a hypocritical kind of Gambler. In other words anyone that refuses to reduce the rate at which he or she Gambles, such person will definitely loose it all to addiction.

Everything on the gambling site to minimize loss or to abstain from gambling are all lies. I have gambled on many sites before and I know how practically they are all lies. The most effective way to avoid such loss is through discipline and knowing how gambling can make you lose huge amount of money.

Self-exclusion from gambling is what most gamblers find hard to think of, no matter their win or loss in gambling. Many gamblers believe that each of their wins or losses to gambling is the time for them to gamble more, recover their losses, and make more money; that's why many are addicted to gambling today; they can't do away with gambling no matter what.

For the said gambler to think of having a self exclusion to gambling the moment he won big from gambling is what to emulate from by other gamblers to quit or minimize the way the gamble because gambling doesn't give but rather take from you. If you are lucky to win big, get yourself established and quit gambling

Unless he had gambling problems before I do not see the point, since I do not really have too much confidence in self-exclusion measures, and that is because even if you can do that at a few casinos, there are many other casinos in which you would not do this and if you want to gamble then you will go there, so while it is nice that he is being cautious about this possibility, at the same time I find it unnecessary, as I doubt he will ever present such a behavior when he is so careful about it.

If you concentrate on the people's matter towards casino you will lose interest for participating in casino, so therefore I believe that casino gambling is all about personal interest, for me I don't believe on stories people tender for casino, anyone that have interest should participate and also verify or know the advantages and disadvantages of gambling not only in casino, gambling itself has disadvantages and we should not look at what people says about it and make our decisions before we involve ourselves because when you look at reasons of other people I don't think that you will summon courage to participate in gambling mostly casino
