Topic: How to self exclude from anonymous gambling sites (Read 6573 times)

By the way, such a large amount can already be the subject of a criminal case in the jurisdiction where such an operation with a phishing link was carried out.
I understand that fraudsters take advantage of the fact that cryptocurrency owners rarely advertise their savings in cryptocurrencies and do not often contact law enforcement agencies also because they believe that no one will help them. But when it comes to a fairly large amount, this is, in principle, an option for contacting law enforcement. Well, of course, if the former owner himself has legal grounds for receiving this cryptocurrency 10 or more years ago, when this money was regarded by everyone as toys and entertainment.

Yeah, I know this for a fact that a friend of mine was scammed off over $100,000 in early 2023, this is not gambling related but can be likened to it.
This dude has been in crypto since 2014 and already possess all the  experiences an OG needs to be successful in this space, he had cryptos worth over $100,000 in his portfolio stored in one single wallet..

Around march in 2023, he got scammed and the scammer emptied his wallet, he said he saw an airdrop ad on Facebook, he click it and the site opened, it was written on the site that if one holds at least $200 worth of BNB, he or she could claim over $6000 worth of a token I can no longer remember it's name, and since he held lots of BNB, he connected his wallet to check his eligibility, he was eligible and proceeded to clicking the claim button, this was how his entire balance on that wallet withdrawn.

Like I said before, this is unrelated to gambling but better explains why I said that even OG gamblers can fall victim to scam due to their greed and lack of contentment.

i think you probably said it all as so many gamblers both the veterans and also the newbies fall victims to these scams and its all tied to the fact that the whole set up is actually too good to be truth, i have seen crazy casino that offer promotions and game that are too easy to be real but yet some crazy gamblers still somehow make themselves to beleive this because their greed will always tell them in one way or the other the promises and offers are real. and just like you said its not only tied to newbie gamblers because greed doesnt hold just that set but everyone who actually open up to it and if paraventures the scammers get a pro in gambling then the effects is even way worse for them.

You are very correct and instead of any gambler to act in a weak way by giving their spouse money to hold for them and use part of it to run the house expenses, it is better for us to just keep to the money to ourselves and try to fix the shit that is hooking our neck. Gambling is not an activity that supposed to make decision for us by controlling our income. Discipline is very important as gamblers so that we don't keep doing the wrong thing while trying to make money. Self control is the problem here and that is why many gamblers will keep having problems on how to gamble and when they are supposed to gamble and when not. We ought to be disciplined so that we don't keep making some stupid decisions that will hurt us in the near future.

Exactly!
This postpones the problems that can be caused by too much passion for gambling. And what you suggest can probably be considered substitution psychological therapy. It really works. It just changes the course of the thought process and the flow of thoughts about gambling becomes smaller and appears in the head less often. And here the time factor is important because the brain is not able to quickly switch, for example, to the thought that gambling for you is just entertainment and nothing more. But the direction of correcting thoughts is correct in this case. And especially if the player is close to the border of gambling addiction.

I align with you, and just like what I recently replied to, these scammers continue to use almost the same style but people unfortunately fall victim regardless. This can only show how gullible and desperate for money they are, otherwise, anything that is too good to be true should have been avoided in this desperate age that everyone is now selfish.

It gets worse to the point that some scammers would pretend as if they wanted to solve your problem as we also see on this thread, but in the end, if you deposit your money, it is all gone. This calls for more smartness and vigilance, nothing centralised is to be trusted 100%, but at least if we are dealing with such, a reputable one is important.

That is why my suggestion is to train, learn, visit some classes or other activities, to change vision on gambling. Try to change it from "cant help myself not to gamble", "can not stop gambling" into "it is just an action for entertainment" or something like that. Because all those pauses, exclusion, giving an oath that a person will no longer gambler does not really work. This is not a solution to a problem, this is only a postpone of a problem.

This has nothing to do with the actual gambling sites themselves and relies far too much on self control, which any addict will tell you is their major flaw. The answer to self exclusion from anonymous gambling sites is simple: if they truly are anonymous then they should never have access to any personal information and this would preclude them from being able to effectively ban you. In that case, the most they could do is place an IP ban on you, which they may be hesitant to do because it could restrict other legitimate users as many IPs are shared these days. It's simply not a solution or practical for the people you suggest.

And all these processes and conversations in the immediate environment in any case put pressure on the player's brain and constantly remind him of the thrill he experienced earlier, playing gambling.
And even more, the human brain is a riddle of riddles. After all, you all know that sometimes the thought of gambling pops up in the brain like a spark and you feel good from the realization that you can play again when there is such an opportunity.
That is, sometimes you don't even need reminders from other people or advertising, so that gambling would float in your memory.
Well, that's how our psyche works.

If person has developed self control and discipline skills, then he does not need to self exclude himself from casinos nor bother about gambling. But the idea of my post following, no matter how person try to limit, exclude or hide from gambling, it is close to impossible. Why people want to self exclude themselves from gambling or need such option? Because they are weak at self control, discipline and easy to get hooked by gambling. Only living in complete vacuum can help them to hide from gambling. Because no matter what they do, gambling will find them in form of ads online or offline, noticing casinos around, people talks and etc. Even finding a quite place isnt a safe place, because eventually someone will share some news or, for example, when bored, will offer a game of cards. 

I think that all sorts of tricks to deprive a gambler of money that he was going to spend on the game, for example, by giving it to his wife, who will never approve of spending the game and will not give this money, exist only when the player really already most likely needs help, since he is already becoming an addicted gambler.
But only such a method will lead to scandals in the family and perhaps even a fight with loved ones. And this is a very bad scenario for how to cure gambling addiction. In short, you should never give anyone your money that is intended for gambling. This way you will always be calmer playing and not add stress from asking for such money from your wife or relatives.
Of course, I do not mean the case when the player stole money from the family budget or from a friend.

Giving your money to your near & dear ones and even your wife isn't a nice idea. I would bet with my money rather than giving control of my money in anyone's hand. There are number of examples where people give loan to others or keep their money save with other people and when they need it, those people refuse to give back and make excuses.

The best way for the gambler is to become strong emotionally and mentally that you can stop yourself from spending more funds in gambling and should know how to safe guard your money while gambling. This will only be possible if you know the risk involved in gambling and how to control minimize them.

I don't find it  easy anymore self excluding ourselves from gambling through the means of using a woman to keep the funds and not provide it when we needed it maybe to gamble. This is a weak way to self exclude yourself from gambling in case anyone thinks of this alternative which could look like it's going to work. Although we are different entities and the level of gambling addiction we have differs so if this eventually works for Mr A, I don't think the same approach will work for Mr B. Gambling is much more different from what we are seeing now and we should endeavor to look for strick measures to help anyone that want to leave gambling and stay out of any gambling activities for as long as possible.

If you actually understand you correctly, then I will have to disagree with you.
For even with all the noise in this world, it's still very possible to live a quiet life by finding a quiet place to live in.

Yes, the world is developing and changing rapidly, what never used to be a thing in the past is fast becoming things that most people can hardly do without, but understand that you are not most people by the way, you are you and I am me, you do what you want to do and I do what I want to do, it's total lack of self discipline to allow what others are doing influence you.

If you decide not to gamble anymore, and you step out there to find people gambling, and because of that, you decide to go into gambling again, then you lack complete self control and discipline, and it's not something to be proud of.

I think that gambling is like the internet today. You cant just dont use it, live or dont hear it. For example you can switch to a much more simple mobile and cancel all kind of internet contracts. But whenever you go, you will face people using internet, you see web site all around, social media and etc. Even on tv we see internet related context. Similar is with self exclusion from gambling sites. Gambler might exclude from one, most popular or everywhere he is registered. Try to get excluded from all offline casinos in town. But there always be abroad offline casinos, people who gamble around. Persons attention and thoughts will still be connected with gambling.

Of course, the main thing in any gambling game is what is going on in your head, including greed, emotions from the money earned or lost, the pleasure of the game, the adrenaline rush caused by it, and so on. This whole set of thoughts and feelings must be crossed out in order to learn to simply stop participating in any gambling games at all. This is definitely difficult and not every player can cope with it. Self-exclusion with the help of the casino itself, where it is certainly provided, in this whole complex of assistance to a player who has already become an addicted gambler, can be considered only a tiny step to help such a person. But a gigantic step is still some structuring of the complex of thoughts and emotions and setting it up to realize the need to stop all these emotions. Without this decision, a complete refusal of a real player from gambling is impossible in my opinion.

This method works only until I dont get any new crypto. Some people, when they in the wallet and making exchange or purchace new crypto, might get triggered to make a deposit. First step they have already made - they are in the wallet already. Also this constant login/logout for stake/restake will make a person used to using crypto wallet more often. The more person see money and think about operating with them, the higher will be the wish to use them.

This is pretty cool I like that little feature there it would definitely serve as more of safe guard for a lot of folks who would otherwise just spend all the money right away.

Making use of your own common sense should really be that enough but the sad part or thing on here is that people do really get blinded up by their greed and thats why they cant think off already on what are the things that they must do. Its true that there are some experienced people who do really end up on having some issues or wrong actions because they do really just that let their emotions control them. Despite on having that experience on which they do really still ending up on doing some bad actions on which it causing up for them to lose money. In regarding about exclusions then this is something that not all sites will really be having that kind of feature on which you could be able to make yourself self exclude but somehow you could be able to make out some request in regarding into this stuff about exclusions but actually this is something that would be useless or pointless because you cant be still able to quit up because the thing on your mind is to gamble and this is something that must tbe stop beforehand.

People wont really be stopping on dealing up with gambling because of greed and high interest towards it or simply they are aiming for making money. On the time or moment that you dont have that kind of
realization then you would really be keeping on coming back on playing and this is something that you should be resolving out first so that you will not be able to keep on coming back on playing.
Exclusions and other things will be useless if you cant be able to have that control.

Scammers don't only  get newbies gamblers as their victims, there are several og gambler who also foolishly fall victims to this Scammers due to their greed and lack of self control as you talked about, one common saying is that, if a thing or something appears to be too good to believe, then know that it's probably not a good something.

Scam casinos device various means with which they try to gain followerships and potential victims to their scam plot each and every day, and for one not to fall a victim, one must always strive to be ahead of them with at least, two steps forward, this makes the gambler to already know and recognize a scam when ever he or she sees one anywhere.
