So you hope your account is deleted on a site so that your activities can be reduced when playing gambling?
hmm, sounds a little weird what if you don't use it again is it too hard to hold it? if you can already think it will have a positive impact on your life besides gambling but on other factors.
because when someone wants something they will try to do / get it regardless it's good or bad thing to do.
so you should be able to control it. Grin

Even if your account deleted by the admin, it doesn't make you stop gambling because there is a chance for you to make another account and come back to playing gambling. It is about yourself, and how you control yourself in gambling, so you don't lose all of the money. Without having self-control, we can lose anything we have, and not just money, and maybe we can lose our family r, too.
The crypto gambling websites can add that feature, but if the gambler cannot control themselves, then it will be useless.

Thinking about their users situation isnt really their business at all.

It seems selfish but it is what they bank on. Of course once a while they send out a reminder to keep habits in check but they really dont care and they dont even need to care. That is the person's own choice whether to gamble or not. Just like a fast food joint, do they need to remind people that eating such food can increase their blood lipid level? They dont and still people spend money there.

It is called providing a service and as long as it is done in a legal manner it will not face any problem. I am sure casinos face extortion from anti-gambling organizations which are nothing but racketeering extortion scams.

Even then they run a profitable business which I appreciate. Control comes from the player and not the service provider.

Self control on some gambling site does not work that way, you only limit yourself in gambling for a certain period of time, or until you turn it on.

Only few gambling site have this self exclusion function, in fact I only know one site because this is against their income, what they want is to let gamblers gamble more so they'll be more profitable and they doesn't care if you are addicted or not, we should know that.

I read most social apps are slowly getting this feature of self-control so that the are legally binding with most jurisdictions globally. The recent one which added self-control feature is, tik-tok app.

I guess most of gambling house owners will not prefer adding those self control functionality because they will lose their revenue over the time. But when governments introduce regulations about this kind of functionality then I believe that will be bringing big differences in most gambler's life.

Yes, self controlling functionality definitely will lead to less possibility of getting addicted to gambling. I believe this must be very essential feature hence gambling houses should think about adding it as early as possible.

Definitely, this self-control functionality is not in favor of the gambling websites. They want their players be on their site as long as possible and rip money as much as they can. That's how they can earn huge money, from those gamblers that don't know how to control themselves. Also, this functionality will only be implemented if the government will put into law. Otherwise, I don't think they will voluntarily integrate this feature within their system.

Lately, I've been gambling a bit too much again and it's impossible to add limits to most crypto gambling websites.
Heck, I've found it to be impossible to just remove your account, without contacting support.

I think it should be mandatory, or at least standard, to include easy ways to prevent members from gambling.
In my country (Belgium), legal gambling websites are required to have player-imposed limits, plus general limits on their websites.
I wish crypto-based gambling websites would do the same.

Anyway, I've just sent an e-mail to the one casino I was still playing on, to close down my account. I hope they'll do that without any issue.
But still, I wish they would just add a function to do it by yourself, or add some self-control functionality.

I.e. let people exclude themselves for X amount of time

That is why it is called self-control because it needs to be made by your own.
Adding up some self-control feature on their site wouldn't keep you from gambling because it is so easy to create new account to gamble.
So what's the point of adding it if the user could just easily create a new account while it's main is still unavailable?

It is well explained by you why websites lack this feature because it has no practical importance. Those who have an addiction to gambling can go to any extent to fulfill their desires. Self-control is one of the toughest things all over the world and I believe yoga or meditation can help with it to a great level.

Since it is free to create an online account on gambling websites that accepts crypto-currencies, even if the online casino close down that user account, if that player are heavily addicted to gambling, I believe there is a high chance he will still create another new account to start gambling again. I think the best way to solve gambling addiction would be to look for help from professional counselor for counseling.

By the title you have said, self-control it means that it should be made by your own.
Even when the creator put a self control functuality, no one will stop you to play if you want to play because there,s a lot of ways to play on gambling sites.

indeed the feature will only make the user profit while the gambling website I am sure will feel the loss because there will be fewer people who will use that function so that a little will be curious and their assets will be a little on the gambling website.

for gambling companies, I don't think it's just to make money, but to look for a good name and reputation even though they develop the gambling industry so whatever they develop should be careful because when a place can be good, there will be more and more enthusiasts.

It is not always a win-win situation for both gamblers and casino management. I have seen many cases on the gambling forums about the contradictions of using self-control and winning huge amounts. Casinos refuse to pay the amount because they have such an argument about using self-control function by the gambler. This function will be their best excuse for not paying the won funds to the addicted gamblers.

Maybe it's been useful for some and actually I once use that feature in my nitrogensports account, I prohibited myself from accessing the dice game because I always loss money on that game and it really work well, and that time I was afraid to create a new account as I don't want my main account to be compromise.

If you can stop yourself from accessing the account then you dont need to block your account.

The casino does not force a player to play. It is a service provided by the casino like any other service like a merchant. The habit of gambling is present in every human and thus it is important to control that. Casinos will always be there because running one is a flourishing business but self control comes from self and not by other people.

Of course the casinos provide a system to allow you to stop but in order to keep your hidden desires happy, it has been made in such a way that it is circumvent-able. So the bottom line is that you have to control yourself.

This is true on which we doesnt really need to have that self-restrict feature because it would really be still useless even if those things exist as long yourself cant able to control your gambling desire.

As long you do think of on playing gambling then no matter how they do block or other things been done, you will surely find a way to access just to play again so its a pretty useless feature imho.

Gambling sites are businesses and they dont really care on what would happen to their players if they got broke or wreck up their lives yet they would always be special as long you do have the money
to play.

Thinking about their users situation isnt really their business at all.

I don't think that it is still a necessary for them to add this kind of feature. In the first place their goal is for people to play on their casino, and adding a self-control functionality will limit the players from playing which is in return, for them is a low gambling rate. What I can see as a problem here is within the gambler themselves. They are obliged to be disciplined in playing, and to limit their games whenever they feel that they are breaking their limits.

For me, there's nothing wrong in gambling as long as we know when to stop. The responsibility in this matter lies upon us and not the gambling sites where we are playing into.

Indeed, crypto gambling sites will never add that function when we are considered as their prey, we participate in gambling more, they have more chances to earn more money, a tool designed to restrict our ability to gamble, which would be similar to casinos giving up their profits, no one can sacrifice benefits for others, especially this is a great benefit. So, agree with you that instead of relying on and waiting for this feature from gambling, we should automatically make plans and design reasonable game modes and playtime, be a player who controls the game if we don't want the game to start controlling us

This wouldn't do anything really.. All sorts of ways to circumvent self imposed blocks on gambling if a user wants to.
Seems like a waste of time to me. It should be up to the gambler to limit themselves, not the service facilitating the bets.
Even if you could block yourself from betting.. If you're in the middle of a tilt it is very likely you just create another account and keep gambling.

As someone who was formerly heavily addicted to gambling the best way to avoid needless posts like this one is just simply not to gamble.
Clearly the loss isn't worth the fun, judging by a post made like this. But at the end of the day it is not a site operators job to prevent you from doing something you're doing anyways.

Having that kind of functionality for a online casino is very hard to be implemented because it will look like websites that are asking if you are right of age. I dont think it will work because people will find a way to play even if you do that functionality plus any business minded will think of this as a disadvantage because they are losing customers. What you really need to do if you are addicted to gambling then you will need a rehabilitation. This kind of functionality is analogous to putting a band-aid to an amputated arm.
