It is a big challenge for an online gambling site ro identify an addicted gambler. For the KYC enabled online casinos, a limit can be placed on a person's account that he can play only a certain number of bets in a day. But that can't be enforced for a crypto casino where KYC is not required because an user can create another account using vpn to continue playing!

So online casinos will have to rely on the user only. In most of the cases gamblers don't understand that they are addicted. So online casinos can't do much about it.

I suggest every online casino to use a simple redirect feature. Once an user logs out from the website, the final page can be redirected to the "International Problem Gambling Help" webpage. Every casino websites use their link at the bottom of their website so they can definitely redirect their users to that website. But the final action really depends on the end user!

How can online gambling sites deal with gambling addiction?

It is hard until the player admits for themselves that they are an addict to gambling. Even if a gambling site put a feature that gamblers can find a counselor and talk to them it will be pointless until a person admits to his own addiction.

That’s true and most of the addicted gamblers only admit this one when the’ve lose everything. Well, this can be a good advantage to the gambling site because more players will stay. A gambling site with a legal team to address addiction is also a good sign that the gamblin site is serious to help their players not to be addict.

It's a wise and noble goal actually. but I doubt if gambling sites can provide such things. each player has responsibility to themselves after all. every player know the risk in gambling, about being addict or bankrupt, so they have to deal any problem with themselves

I know that Crypto-Games allows players to contact them when they have problems with gambling addiction and they'll ban that player's IP address if they want it.
I think there are perhaps other casinos that offer similar arrangements, but I personally can't think of any examples.

The least that casinos should offer is a link to gambling addiction resources or a helpline.
Most of them do that luckily.

Thats the only thing that they can do on where they can redirect addicted gamblers to those helplines,forums etc. but generally they wont really care at all too much
for their players as long they are making profits with them.Good to know that Cryptogames do offer such banning of IP but its still useless in all sorts because on internet
we can either just simply play with other gambling sites or just simply use vpn then you are ready to go.

I think when it comes to online casinos, they would barely take it head on. It's terrible that it's happening in real life but beneficial towards the idea of casinos having a "stream of money" from that person.

An action they could take is check the login times of people and maybe see who is not logging out and keeps on playing on the screen (Not the people who use bots to gamble with them) instead. Maybe estimate if how much they are willing to wager and continue monitoring them. It may be bad for the casino to interfere, but someone who has addiction should be dealt with.

~snip~ The main problem, most gamblers are not admitting that they are addicted. ~snip~

I agree with you. Most of them are not aware if they have already addicted to gambling. While others refuse to get treatment from counseling and advisors. These cases need big support from their families, especially from parents, wives or husbands. They should ensure the addicted gamblers to consult or get special treatment. Besides then, the role of the advisor or consultant determines the result.

I don't think so. Once a person is addicted to something, he must be aware of that. Perhaps he refuses not to stop because of greediness which part of human nature. Only himself can help him from that addiction.

a gambling addict can help his own self but its better if he can seek mental help from other people because that can give him an encouragement to be able to speed up his recovery process . @kawetsriyanto thats impossible if a person didnt know that he is addicted on gambling or not because once a person is addicted in gambling , he can play more longer in an inapropriate way . he might not unabe to eat or sleep due to being busy playing execsive gambling .

I don't know about such "brick'n mortar" casinos.The offline casinos in my country don't have such social responsibilities.It would be great if the online casinos implement some sort of betting limits per account/IP address,but I don't think this will solve the gambling addiction problem.Many players will use VPNs and swithc their IP adress.Implementing KYC and ID verifications can partially solve this,but many players will just run away from online casinos with KYC rules.

Gambling sites and casinos dont usually concerned about the person getting addict in gambling because for the fact it gives them more profit that regular gambler. But in that case, i guess online gambling are harder to be stopped because of the easy access. Even you ban yourself from the site, you can use difderent accounts to play.

Simply because its their advantage to earn more so literally if you are addict casinos/gambling sites will not help you to recover on that, maybe they will lend you more money so you will play more. Its hard to stop addiction, whether its online or on casinos, your desire to help yourself is the most important thing to do.

Yes, addiction is that their main concerns instead they'll be happy that many we're fall into that so they can generate more income from them(loyal gamblers). Online gambling will have that disadvantage also cause even young minds can still access their sites and it could lead them to be out of the school.

If the gambling sites has a system that monitoring gambling addiction and those members that are suspected to be in a serious gamblers and losing often should be block from making deposit. It is also very important for the gambling sites to interview the members in other to find out if someone is addicted to gambling.

It's very difficult if you really want to record all the players and ask if they are addicted or not? This is a very ridiculous choice where those who are addicted to gambling often do not realize what they are doing and cannot control everything that has been spent and are emotionally difficult to anticipate, there is no system that can prevent everything from returning to own feeling and consult with the closest people to get more support but unfortunately they are not honest with what they are feeling right now, nobody can prevent it all.

It depends on each of the gamblers, the personality possessed by the gambler will determine whether they can avoid addiction or not. This must be understood because every gambler must be able to control emotionally well. Addiction is a problem, but when a gambler has a special formula for doing good management, they will be able to avoid addiction by themselves.

This is was right, you can do it your self and we can't blame gambling site of being an addiction. It can be avoided if gambler noticed that it makes feel personality possessed on gambling. However, controlling your self is not just easy but if you can apply self-discipline probably you made it. Don't let gambling control your emotion, you must have to adjust on it to have a better profit.

Im guessing that they embrace it in this case and why shouldnt they if the gambler is trying to take their money.
You can ask to be excluded but if it has come down to this part in your life, you really might need to seek other helpful options.
Like any other addiction there are ways to prevent your desire to gamble.

I don’t understand the idea of Brick and Mortar casinos applying a measure for gamblers with gambling addiction to ban themselves. Addicted gamblers would never accept they are suffering from addiction in the first place, so how do they expect them to ban themselves.

If this site actually cares about addicted gamblers, they would be able to know gamblers who are suffering from addition from their history and then auto ban them, and also request that they seek professional help. But, I have the feelings that most of these sites make more money from those addicted gamblers and they will find it difficult to put measures in place to automatically ban an addicted gambler and advise them to look for help.
