Topic: Crypto gambling websites need to add self-control functionality! - page 2. (Read 2436 times)

Yeah, I never saw that too because I don't think that the gambling site will add that feature. The responsibility will come to the gamblers itself, whether they want to stop playing gambling or still continue playing gambling. The gambling website only gives way how to gamble with some money, and the rest will be at the gamblers. The self-control is something that we need to have in gambling so we don't spend all of the money or we can control ourselves.

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.

It would be useless even if they add up some self-control function to their site,
Since each gambler could always create a new account if they couldn't control their own.
The gambling sites doesn't really need that feature it is our job to control ourself on everything besides I don't really think that they would add it since it would lessen the gamblers game on their platform.

Never seen a gambling site with that feature. And I don't think they will ever think of that. It is true, gambling sites or casinos want to rip money as much as they can from the gamblers. That's their business. They will give you contacts if you need help from gambling addiction, that, you can find that in a lot of websites. But feature of self-control. I don't think so.

The reminder can help you to remember your time to stop gambling, and I think that is the first reminder for yourself, so you don't continue playing gambling. That will work for you, especially if you learn about controlling yourself in gambling.

I don't think that the site will care about that because they want to make money from the gamblers, and even they care about that, the gamblers still have control for themselves. All the matter is about ourselves in having control so we can prevent the worst thing that might happen.

I also can't see the motive of gambling sites to introduce such controls. Their primary goal is money and profit, I don't think they care too much about issues of players. This could only be possible if they had some legal and regulatory obligations and of course someone who would monitor that.
However, if the player himself isn't aware of problem nothing else will help him.

actually it wasn't the reminder that will help us but the obligatory of having a function of control from the site it self.
the problem is would really those gambling site cares about this?they are here just to gather money from gamblers and not to help their players keeping safe.so it doesnt matter what we need but still its the sites that decide about that.

I think the self-control will be on our side because that is related to the money that we use to playing gambling. If we cannot control ourselves in gambling, no matter if the website has that features, we will still try to play gambling with another account, and I am sure that he will have many accounts to continue playing gambling. With using reminder, we can know when we should stop gambling before our money is all gone.

The word "self-control" is self explanatory. One needs to control their urges. If they have a habit of gambling away money, then it needs to be checked from time to time. This can be done by manually set alerts or a close person reminding them of the time and money spent everyday. Eventually it needs to come from within. Otherwise the process is a failure.

Force used is always counter productive here.

If they ignore it then its their problem. The concept of self control would not be applicable there.

I agree, this even makes less sense when we are taking about cryptocurrencies, the purpose of cryptocurrencies is to give freedom and the responsibility this entails back to the user, anyone that thinks like this is basically admitting they are not ready for the responsibility that comes with cryptocurrencies, as such it is important to take control of our gambling activities and only gamble for a predetermined amount of time and as soon as that time expires you stop gambling, this may seem as too rigid but it is the only way to avoid being addicted to gambling.

Do you really think that it's possible? Because according to me this is totally no sense to think like this. It's a foolish thought if a gambler wants the casino to control them. The system is having some rules that all the members should follow but it's ridiculous to think a machine can control your emotions you if you feel that you are over-investing just quit by yourself but never let machines control you.

This was a good idea! There should be something like a button or a setting wherein the player can able to control its time or duration in playing with casinos. However, these casinos want you to spend more so that they can probably earn more. putting it to consideration the house or the website should be responsible with theses issues too not only with their profit.

what kind of self-control do u think the best? if u hoping it comes from web provider then I think it will be useless until it comes from the law if it forced. Every user just needs the reminder i think, like when u already below 50% your fund, still want to continue or not. I think thats the best like stop loss at trading. But if they ignore it then suit themself, right?

I do not think that a gambling website will do that thing. The one who wins the game in any gambling website is the one who creates it or the owner of the website because I am pretty much sure that they win more than the winner of the game, so I do not think that they will lessen the profit that they earn by adding a feature that will give a limitation for the gamblers on playing the gambling sites are always updating and maintaining so the game because of they really want to have more players that will try it.
The only way to limit the gamblers on playing is only themselves. They are the one that is responsible for stopping them from wasting their money betting and betting.

Indeed, the purpose of many gambling websites is to earn money by their users, having many users on their website, then the higher the profit for them, but the idea of having a limit is somehow useful to the gamblers. Still, I don't think that they would sacrifice their profits to the situation of the players.
It still depends on the gamblers if they will limit their time playing or not.

If there's a feature tool like that then whoever wanted to make a break will benefits from such system though you are correct with habitual or addicted gamblers it won't change any once they've already inside the house, they will just ignored this stuff and continue playing even up to losing everything inside their bankroll.

Some fiat casinos have that feature, however they did not added that feature because they wanted they were basically forced by the government to do it and if regulations were to appear then cryptocurrency casinos will need to do it, personally I do not think it will make a huge difference especially in this market where most casinos do not require any kind of KYC to create an account, so even if a gambler has decided for the time being to not gamble and use that feature he could always create a new account without any problem and gamble that way.

I agree that every reputable crypto gambling casino should have an option to let you lock out yourself of your account.In fact I think that this option should be definitive and if you try to register again at this casino your are not allowed,this option should be like “a ban forever” for the user.

Gambling is not bad if you can still control yourself from it if it doesn't cause you to forget to do more valuable things if it doesn't consume most of your time spending only on gambling and if it doesn't prompt for you to lose money. If one of which already took you, then that is the time when you should stop the gambling, if you have a feeling of being addicted on gambling then you should do some ways to prevent it, then find Alternatives to Gambling, you may do some physical activities, meditation, traveling, spending time on your family, something like that, it is better from being addicted on gambling because that is healthy living that we all should have. Addicts have to avoid environments that lead to gambling. Stay away from casinos, race tracks, poker games, or anything else that might remind or tempt you. Cut bad influences out of your life. Take away sources for financing your habit by giving your spouse or someone else control of your money. Still, if those things do not work, then try to visit some Health care professional or psychiatrist. They will help you to prevent being addicted to gambling. They will teach you how to focus on other things. There are so many reasons for you to stop being addicted, and you may try it all if you are motivated to change your lifestyle.

You missed the whole picture dude.

Addiction is good from the business perspective, but overdose is bad. For example:
- Addicted to donut is good, but diabetes is bad;
- Addicted to fried chicken is good, but heart attack is bad, etc.

To reap sustainable profit, casinos should maintain a healthy gambling community so that they can continue to gamble in the long run. The stop or cooldown feature is useful so that users don't get "overdose." It's also nice for marketing purposes. I agree that the stop feature might not be effective, but at least they tried.

It's not really going to be effective and they just want it for those who wants but it will not help those who are habitual gambler, they will just ignore it and continue playing the game as if it's not existing, but I still commend Stake for installing this, I remember one time I said after losing that I am not going to play for a week but I still play if you have that, you can make it happen.
