Why would people not do it on their own? In your example, you can completely try to avoid the platform which you asked for a closure because what I think it you might not gain access back to the platform once the support team deletes your account. But yes, this might be useful for the ones who are highly addicted towards gambling.
Gambling is a source where most of the people lose all of their funds but some on contrary turn out to be millionaires and billionaires just with the help of gambling. Yes, they might have a strong luck factor behind them though. But for the rest of the people who really want to stay away from gambling but their addiction never allows them to do the same, they could use such self-control functions if introduced.

The bottom line is to not expect anybody other than you to help you with this and especially not casinos which are only looking out for people like yourself and others to profit from. I'm afraid you have to maser the strength to do it or else it may get too problematic for you. Perhaps, thinking about the reasons why you're doing it and the benefits it would bring you if you're not spending all your money on gambling 
Only you can stop you, a feature in that in an online casino is not yet possible, self control is needed in order for you not to lose too much, descipline yourself also ,make a limit , for example after 6hrs of playing you will stop and rest, whether you are winning you need to stop but when experience losing streak after 3hrs of playin ,you need to stop. In that case you will have a self control that you are wanting OP.Yeah right, I think only myself has the full limits. The fact is that if someone gambles and then they are within the limits of gambling, they can still gamble with other accounts, it is all because they cannot control themselves. I think what @OP said isn't entirely true, because the best limits are gambling management and emotional management.

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

You should know that gamblers should play at their own risk, gambling sites are a profit-driven company that, they do not interfere on the motivation of the gambler all they want is for players to play a longer time and adding more funds in their dashboard and chase for their win.

There are some positive and negative effect of your suggestion although generally it's a great idea but since cryptocurrency related gambling casinos are mostly online, getting a verification that the individual intending to close the account is actually the owner wouldn't be an easy task since an account can be hacked and closed without the owner of the account having any knowledge. Therefore the initial step of contacting support is still recommended in my opinion.
This can also lead to misunderstanding better the house and the customers since account with funds can be mistakenly deleted and it might not be recoverable, which will lead to the affected individual spreading the fud of the casino been a scam casino, spoiling (staining) the reputation of the casino in the process.

Rich not came from gambling but if built gambling as business that's the right answer. We can deny gambling is popular game with huge money circulation, everyone want their part and some of them use dirty tricks. As user we should wise and take good action like you, close account and never come back again. Take control your money and use clear mindset to see gambling is not your future and leave is the best thing you can do.

It sounds like a good idea you have right there! It seems like it has the same idea with the smoking warning that can be seen on the cigarette pockets. A simple warning so the people would be aware of what consequences they might be in if they decide to abuse it. It might help a lot of people not to blame the gambling businesses for the consequences they will be involved in. Nevertheless, it is a protection for both parties in the gambling business sector such as the casino and the user, as well. Probably we could petition this but all in all that was a good job for the solution.

The gambling site should not be held accountable for the loss of a player, when a player first enter that kind of platform he should know in the first place what are the risk in playing gambling games.
Though keeping gambling sites from having a self-control functionality or alert will be better for them in the long run. Since this allows the customer/player to still go home with money on his pocket to multiply. Giving that person enough encouragement to try his luck once again in gambling, from there, it all depends on whther the player wins or loses.Gambling is high risk, high reward, Never gamble the money you can't afford to loss cause that's when you tend to get emotional in wanting to take it back.
It won't stop their customers from coming back since the money lost will drive them back into gambling to win back their losses. It's just ensuring that these people that are patronizing their services still have something to eat every day.

I agree, many sites however do have this feature with them. Like many sites do offer self ban and self exclusion, the only disadvantage is no one is going to stop someone from opening another account if they wanna play later again! xD
February 02, 2020, 09:59:41 AM
They will not comply because it means restricting their profit and they are a profit-driven company, they will even shower you with a giveaway, bonus and a lot perks so just you keep on playing in their dashboard, I have never seen a government that does that when it comes to gambling everyone is to each own.

Most websites actually state at the bottom of the page that anybody who thinks they have a gambling problem should seek counseling or therapy.
The thing is, even if people do self-impose a restriction, there is little in the way stopping them from simply creating another account, or playing at a different casino when they reach the limit.
KYC requirements are rarely a thing for crypto casinos, so that barrier just isn't there. I really cant see how it would be effective unless all the differnt popular casinos share records and work together to enforce this, which just aint going to happen.

So easy to say but very difficult to apply. Most of those gamblers known this fact since from the start they are just enjoying while playing their favorite games. After some period of engagement and suffered from unavoidable loses, that will triggered the problem and push gamblers to make wild decisionsGambling is high risk, high reward, Never gamble the money you can't afford to loss cause that's when you tend to get emotional in wanting to take it back.
and make a big changes from their gambling activities.
You need to practice self discipline in order not to engaged that much from this kind of activities.

Exactly, blaming the gambling site for your loses is not acceptable, blame ourselves as we are the one making the decision every time we put our bet. Sites that offers "self exclusion" to help gamblers control themselves should be appreciated but that is just an extra, majority of the sites does not offer the same as they are in a business, no personal relationship between the gambler and the site, its just the system that the gamblers are trying to beat and that system is almost unbeatable that's why casinos stays longer and profitable.

That's the first rule every gambler should know.

It's a good addition, even just a simple reminder would do. But the thing with gambling sites and operations is that they are also a business, and they want more profit, and thus, they lure you to this swirling trap of addiction that is difficult to get out off.
I feel the same, the site release many bonus, discount and prize to keep member stay and sometimes they give us winning point. Never doubt gambling is huge business and create many job and taxes for country and industry but limit for play should become regulation before more people get poor because addicted gambling. Make gambling for fun not income, stay realistic and never use loan money for gambling.
The thing is they want you to stay around on Stake.com where I have an active account they continously send me bonuses, giveaway just so I can comeback to play in their site, they are in the business of making money and for gamblers to have some fun, you cannot obliged them to limit your time in their site, because the profit will stop by then.

First, sorry to hear that you have issues with controlling yourself in that matter, I've been there and i know it ain't easy. But adding limits wouldn't solve much, as people would simply go bet someplace else after reaching the set limit, and that's not in the interest of any gambling site, to push their own clients to other sites. You could say that you would be able to control yourself and not go someplace else (then again this could be used in this case as well), but what about the others? Heck, I've found it to be impossible to just remove your account, without contacting support.
Standard scenario: Gambler sets the limit, and looses all the money. He is desperate now, he wants to get his money back, but he can't as he reached the limit. Will this stop him from simply opening a new account someplace else? Highly unlikely.
I think it should be mandatory, or at least standard, to include easy ways to prevent members from gambling.
I worked in brick&mortar casino for years, and we had similar requests, people asking us to ban them from casino. Since we couldn't do that as it wouldn't work, few of them decided to get the ban by destroying casino inventory or attacking workers. In 100% of the cases, after they got the ban, they kept coming back, apologizing and begging us to let them back in. Only thing that actually works in the long run is self-imposed self-control , not the one imposed by the others.

Some website has self exclusion features like Nitrogensports but in the end, I think this is all about the will of the players.
When we are gambling and we are in control, these things should not be a problem, but if we don't have control then probably we will face trouble in the long run.
I don't know if casinos are really into these kind of program since they are a profit oriented business, so basically if a player lose more than means the opposite for them which is profit, so why would they bother to put a limit on every gambler's account when that would limit their income as well?

A casino is a place that gamblers can play gambling games, but we need to have control for ourselves, especially limiting our money, so we know that we don't use all of the money to playing gambling. We need to understand how dangerous gambling games for us if we lose control because we will difficult to recover the money that we lose. The more people who cannot limit themselves in gambling, the more profit that the casino will get, so that is why we need to care with what we have and don't lose everything before it's too late.
There is no one who will be able to help us in controlling oneself because the only one who can truly help us is ourselves. No matter what functionality is added to gambling if you can't control yourself then it is still useless. Gambling is a very dangerous game if you won't have self-control because it will not only ruin your sanity but it can also ruin your family.

Or probably just keep warning accounts that are in loses or unprofitable for a long time? Such accounts are likely owned by addicted gamblers... If they continue to play without being profitable, the account could then be closed... Not sure if this is the right thing to do.
I think closing of account could work best in society where people are tracked. Too risky to do if it's a "centralized" society.
