Self control is gambler's responsibility, isn't it? Why casinos should add such feature as it is the main idea under gambling business?
Even if casinos add this feature, it will always depend on ourselves. If we cant control ourselves then this feature will be useless because addicted gamblers will always find a way to continue gambling.
Lets just control ourselves instead of relying on other things while doing gambling. You know your own limit then you should know when to stop.

Is it hard to have self control of one's own? Gambling websites thrive on people's addiction, it's player who should be cautious and anyway most crypto gambling website are unregistered or registered where rules are loose, so usually they have no one to tell.

You need to consider two things for this, first is the gambling site, second is the gamblers.
Running a gambling site is a business, meaning, they are always after the profits, and they require a certain fixed amount of bankroll they need to meet per day to keep their business running. Second, limiting gamblers to gamble is like your neighbor not minding his own business and messing up what you do in your life, that is how gamblers are going to feel if gambling sites will implement such thing.
Yes, gambling is addicting, but it is our very own responsibility and choice when we are playing gambling, gambling sites can't be a disciplinary councilor that will nag at you or advice some crappy things to you when you are playing gambling too much.

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

It's your own will to stop the gambling. If you want to stop just do not deposit any more money in the casino site and do not login. You do not have to wait for the casino to remove your account in order for you to stop the gambling. These are just excuses that we cannot stop gambling because it is not easy to abadon the account.
Sometimes it is not easy to control ourselves especially if one is addicted to gambling. I once changed the password of the site to a random password and then forgot it. This way i was not able to use that gambling site.

I think this is not going to happened since gambling websites need profit and profit is what gambling websites are all about putting a feature that is going to limit their profit is surely not going to happened.
As a gambler, you should be able to control your self in betting or continuing to gamble your money in the websites, probably the websites wanted you to be addicted and it is not their problem if you lose your money in the website so you should gamble at your own risk.

I'm too in favor of this. They need to at least provide a lock function where the user can lock their coins for a certain amount of time or one that releases a fixed amount of coins every day while locking other. The largest loss I've made is due to rage bet. For example, if I start with 100 and go upto 1000 and down to 200, I'm very likely to go all in than realizing that I have 100% profit.
It might help people but wouldn't these gamblers think they would just find other gambling sites?
They would just be annoyed that they have this feature and would be deciding to change their site into another without that kind of feature. That would lose their costumers and gambling sites would not want to lose them.

I think i like this one because though we knew that Gambling is our own discretion,will,desire and our own faith yet having limitation from the gambling site itself will help gamblers limit themselves also,because addiction is indeed and others cannot hinder from this.Heck, I've found it to be impossible to just remove your account, without contacting support.

Sometimes people just need to be obligated before they find the right path to walk trough .
But of course why would gambling sit s care about this?when they’re first motive is to let players become addicted so they will make more profit even if this ends of becoming a gamblers life miserable.

There might be some regulatory issues concerning the removal of the account that is why most of the gambling websites or platform isn't allowing that to easily be removed by casual members. In my opinion, if the gambling platform is decentralized, that is the time that they should allow freedom of the users to control their account, but if we are taking part of the gambling platform that is centralized, we need to conform to their rules and procedures and we shouldn't complain about that.

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.
The practice isn't just used in online gambling, but also in traditional casino gambling, where the ambience is set to hype you up and forget about time cycles. Same idea, just different execution.
If I knew it correctly, casinos are set to be in red ambiance, and having no clock or even windows it was designed to boost individuals and not to be reminded on how long they've been there and how much they have lose. Quite selfish, but it is what it is. Ain't no business that want their customer to limit themselves on having transaction itself, right? Because they built in order to get you - gamblers, with their platforms. And I agree to the man above, since you knew how to limit yourself, then, there is still nothing wrong to be reminded. Well, pity those who didn't. The practice isn't just used in online gambling, but also in traditional casino gambling, where the ambience is set to hype you up and forget about time cycles. Same idea, just different execution.
Gambling platforms are made in such a way that they could attract the gamblers in order to gamble constantly onto the platform and get addicted soon. We need a lot of self-control in order to not loose excess funds in gambling. Gambling can be harmful in terms of financial situations and you should try to maintain good gap between gambling and your capital.

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.

I agree with you, you cannot impose this on a profit-driven company as long as you are playing they keep making a profit, and some gamblers have this kind of mentality, quitters never win, so they keep on playing and the gambling casino keeps making a profit and they want you to continue playing.

I still don't understand the notion of this, it really makes absolutely no sense to me at all. Think about it, does McDonald reject to give food to fat people? Does chocolate companies reject the people with diabetes? Does the cigarette brand deny the lung cancer people?
I mean you can literally kill yourself if you want to and those companies will continue to profit without really caring, they don't mind if you die or not, they only care if you give them your money or not. And here we are, technically not a death related thing and casinos are requested to have a control function, I am sorry but the worst thing you can have while gambling is basically losing your money, that's it, which means you should stay away if you are addicted but you won't die directly because of it.
Its really nonsense if we do think yet they wont consider on limiting their players just because of that concern.I mean you can literally kill yourself if you want to and those companies will continue to profit without really caring, they don't mind if you die or not, they only care if you give them your money or not.

They might have some forums or customer service about such addiction or do ask out for help but doesnt mean
that they will put up blockage or to stop their players on hanging out on the site.Only ones self can control things
what ever the situation he do faces.

On a business perspective, I do not think that adding a feature where it limits the expenditure of a gambler would be healthy in the business especially considering that the website also has to pay their respective expenses monthly.
If you are struggling to to control and to self-discipline yourself when it comes to gambling, then seek for support/help from your peers or family members. The best change will always come from your own volition to change and that will give you the determination to impose limits upon yourself.
On my own perspective, functions like these could definitely help especially when people tend to forget that they have been wasting resources that much. I would also like to add that a feature that shows your total expenditure for the day can also at least help people in knowing how much they spent.
It is really difficult to draw the line between the business and the gambler's perspective especially that businesses tend to focus/aim in earning profits.

But,do you think these features can stop anyone from his gambling habit,if he wanted then he can open a new account or just find the similar legit gambling sites when he is not been able to control his addiction towards gambling.
Imo it depends on the gambler's addiction and how severe it is, some of us have accounts on different bitcoin casinos but if you're excluded in your favorite casino then it can be blocked. I think having self exclusion can help temporarily but most gamblers wouldn't use it since there might be better solutions for them.And one who can't stop themselves will not stop anyway by having this feature so this might be useless IMHO.

It's up to you really, if they close your account what is the guaranty that you will not open a new account, when it comes to gambling prevention and control should stop from the gambler, they can just give you warning but the control and how you behave should be up to you, not on the gambling site.
