Topic: Gambling ombudsman - do you feel protected? - page 5. (Read 566 times)
I should be a good news for gamblers residing in UK because this would only have effects in casinos and gambling sites present in the United kingdom and not for the entire gambling sites scattered across the world. But it's a nice kick off I wish other countries follows suit. Gamblers needs to be protected from some self centered and unregulated gambling and casinos sites.
...Would you say that you would play more confidently if you knew that you can potentially have a claim if you think something is not right with the system or the decisions? How would that protection look like for you?
I expect more members to say an ombudsan is not necessary in crypto gambling market since majority of the community doesn't really care about the license. They feel confident to play as long as the platform has built a good reputation and doesn't have many restrictions just like what Ziskinberg said.

That's a benefit that you won't see anywhere else so I like to grab one lol.
Not just confident but I feel more relax and comfortable when doing gambling as if there's something wrong with the service, users are protected by the law. It will lessen the chance of having unprofessional gambling operators while at the same time, only honest, kind, and good casinos will remain operating.
Of course I would play more if I know that I could contest a claim when I am done wrong but that contesting should be fair for both sides. Plus, with a gambling ombudsman you can be sure that as a customer, you can't be screwed over by the business.
This would make the other party happy, while the other party sad.
What I mean is, if the gambling industry will be this regulated, some gamblers will not gamble anymore, submitting their KYC information is already a loss of privacy, so they'll rather look for a casino with fewer requirements, however, it will also be risky and I think they'll understand it so they take the risk.
If there's a Gambling ombudsman, it will give added protection to gamblers who are not hiding anything, usually, these are gamblers that risk big money and they really need protection that they'll not be scam by a casino.

The idea of a gambling ombudsman is good for a gambler to claim if the casino is doing something wrong and break their own rules. Maybe the ombudsman can be funded by the tax from the other business or even from the gambling industry itself. But many things need to be prepared because most gamblers make their own mistakes by using more money to gamble so that the gambler can blame the casino because of this behavior.
The claim can work if the casino scams the gambler, but if the gambler cheats on the casino, they can not claim it the casino mistake.

I think this gambling ombudsman will focus on casinos and betting shops regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. As we know, most of the crypto casinos are licensed in Curacao and the majority of them restrict citizens from the United Kingdom. You need a UK gambling license and perform strict KYC/AML checks to operate on British soil. I don't see this being a major concern for crypto gamblers since many platforms aren't properly regulated anyways.
Wow! does it mean the government will have to create an agency to focus on gambling only?
I think the current system is safe, as long as the casino or the business is regulated, the government can monitor them to comply with the rules and if they commit crime by scamming gamblers, they should face jail time as the authorities will be after them.

As users of gambling sites, we have to be careful and do our own research before committing our funds to a site. But no matter how much you dig around there is always a chance of being scammed or at least not being treated right by a service. I just read this article below on the need to have some short of protection or even a self regulation. Would you say that you would play more confidently if you knew that you can potentially have a claim if you think something is not right with the system or the decisions? How would that protection look like for you?
