Basically it's very simple.

You take a currency that requires 21 days for staking/unstaking, then you deposit this amount in Atomic Wallet, stake it and then you can't gamble with the crypto you're holding.

The locking (staking) is done with one single click of a button, and it's practically speaking, equivalent to activation of self-exclusion on an online gambling site with a click of a button (and yet not all sites offer it unfortunately).

For example, you stake (lock) $200 of your crypto, and that's all crypto available for you - then you can't play/gamble/risk it for at least 21 days ... do it 15 times a year time after time, and you would be excluded for a long time.

The only drawback with this method is Atomic doesn't offer this on USDT so some "gamblers" might not like this idea because they trust stablecoins more than other crypto coins, but this is FYI.


Excluding yourself from anonymous gambling sites is crucial to gamblers,you saying that you will stake for   21days and then you lock up the coins and all of that.
I think this is not about anonymous site mate instead those site that we trusted or those site that available here in forum that has staking on their end because that will add safeties and interest to gamblers.

Its quite understandable but its not gonna make any benefits yo excluding from the sites,cause basically there are alot ways to reach out to other sites,apart from your opinion.
maybe what he says is at least we will be missing betting as our money is at stake so we need to wait certain time before having money again.


But correct because gamblers will always find ways to gamble even lending just to have gambling money.

Why make things difficult for yourself with this temporary solution? If you learn self-control and the ability to say no when you need to say no, that's going to be more beneficial to you in the long run

That is a very ignorant thing to say.

You are like a few others here repeating the same mistake that is being mentioned here, you think for some people learning how to self control is some sort of a yoga class?

Self exclusion has helped millions of people around the world.
It's a useful tool, no doubt about it.

If gambling was about self control people wouldn't have lost millions, their houses, their families and more.
Not really believing that, self-control means that you've got the discipline to stop when you want or even stop even before you want to do something so yes, gambling is about self-control. Just because someone said that your solution is temporary and that there's a more permanent solution to just trying to build a fence over your money so you can't gamble for awhile, sure it works but once you can get your hands on that money then it's going to be over and you're repeating a cycle again. Actually, yoga can teach you self-control so how are those people that say that self-control is like a yoga class? Also any kind of bodily exercise is a discipline that takes control via consistency in routines. Can you give us a data that supports that millions have been helped because I really want to believe that it does work, even if it's a temporary thing.
No matter what methods you would be using or what ways that you are tending to get engage with on which as long you are really that having that impulsive gambling aims and interest into your mind then you would really be finding ways for you to play no matter what kind of restriction that you would really be doing. We do know that there are really ways or methods on quitting up gambling for good without needing those
known or necessary steps. You would really be just that simple be that fixing your mind on quitting or stopping on that point then that should be enough. It is really just that there are people who are really that
not good when it comes to self control and this is why they do really end up these kind of decisions and this is why they do continue on playing because of those kind of interest into their minds
when it comes to gambling.

Staking? If its locked then you cant play but it would be impossible that it would really be your last money that you could really make.Therefore,
if you do have still that kind of mindset on wanting to play again then you would really be just simply making yourself having those continual behavior
just because you are really that still interested on doing so.

What a person is exposed to is really impotant. Its effect might not really be known until it starts to play out. Just like the music that plays in the bus that you don't like but you are forced to as long as you keep using the bus, then you start mimicking the song and humming it and then unconsciously, it becomes your thing.

Cut off everything that connects you to what you don't want, and don't be apologetic about it.
You seems to have point here mate because cutting everything in connection to gambling will truly make us excluded and not all of those saying this and that but it has no form at all.
just try to take off your connection to gambling from every places , every sites and every  people and even things?
that will make you lesser in gambling or not at all,

Beyond the sites avoidance and other therapeutic opinions, I consider one's mind the greatest tool when it comes to keeping away from gambling sites.
Your mind has to be made up, you do not want to indulge in anything gambling, that arms you against anything gambling including the sites that pop-up often and others
Actually the mind is indeed what has a big functions here but remember that what is in your mind is  reflections of what you see around you , this will qualify what can be done here is the community and the people besides us.

if we are being attracted of whom working on our surrounding will reflect to what will our mind tells us to do so the perfect way to engage in excluding yourself is to be with people that tells no gambling but free from it.

This will surely works because your mind will be free from any thinking about gambling and for me this works in any ways.
Though you are not clear enough grammatically, but If I understand you clearly or correctly, then you are completely and absolutely right.

It is true that our minds plays a very important role in driving us to what we do and what we don't, but just as you have said it, the mind also does not control itself, or work alone.
The ear, the nose, the eyes, all work together with the mind, which in other words, we can refer to as the brain.

I personally have had several experiences of where I tell myself I won't do a particular thing, or engage in something possibly because I don't like it, but on seeing or hearing about that thing constantly and persistently, I end up changing mind and engaging in the same thing I once forbid.

For example, it's like telling yourself you will never watch porn, but on every instance, you will see a porn ad, even when you block people posting it, you still see porn ads on your timeline.
As long as you keep seeing that consistently and persistently, it's only a matter of time before you one day find yourself watching porn, this is how weak the mind can be, so, it's totally not dependable, and I guess this is why we have will-power, we need will-power to keep the mind under control, those who lack will-power will always go the direction their mind leads them.


ou're right, as far as I'm concerned things can be very different because Basically things can be very clear, but you emphasize something that is very true, in fact before I didn't like to listen to any type of music in Particular , but When I was in high School , what I did was Travel and travel to practice my sports and all the time I Listened to those Songs of that genre that I didn't like , but seeing that every day I heard them without wanting to, well that was something that had already stuck with me. in my Psyche, and no matter how difficult it was , I had to listen to it for sure , because on Public Transportation I Listened to it , from Morning until night , Until one way or Another in my mind I sang it and as the day passed time because I liked that genre of music , it was the genre Called "Vallenatos" which is Colombian , but one thing I am clear About is that no Matter how much I Listen to reggaeton I will Never like it in my life , And sometimes this emphasizes something, we are direct or indirect incidents of Advertising.

When advertising is well organized, and they put it in any way, in all Environments, it is something that will bear fruit, because for that reason I have Always said that things that are based on good campaigns, on good marketing always whatever, They will Bear fruit , and this is very Likely to happen in casinos, no matter how much you want to do Something and the direction is in that Direction, it will happen, there is no doubt about it.

The casinos will always be part of the good Publicity that they want to get Into , And when the question of anonymous casinos arises, or who a client can be anonymous, or as the topic of self-exclusion says, well, they are quite curious for those who have Always Followed the rules and they want to make a difference, there are always many things by which the designs of the caisnos, the players, the food they have and the audience they want to reach are understood, one way is to look for more and I don't blame them, more people money that enters the Casino.

In my opinion, simple advice like “Stop playing, you’ll soon go crazy with your games!”  completely useless.  The player is simply in a state of excitement and euphoria from the game and will completely ignore such comments. 
But, for example, turning off the electricity throughout the house while such a gambling player is playing on a PC, deliberately done by one of his family members, will cause anger and even temporary madness of such a player if he realizes that this was done intentionally.  This is also a bad option for helping to overcome gambling addiction in the initial stages.  So the family members are wondering what else can be done to help such a gambler overcome his addiction. 

Perhaps you know interesting original ways?
But then write them here in the topic.  Perhaps they will be useful to someone.

You're all right in your various opinions a.d to be honest here, saying a word ordinarily could help do nothing to avoid a gambler from gambling not to even talk about someone who is addicted to it, but as you've already mentioned,we can try out best in making sure that any gambling enabling environment is neglected or do without, this may curb the gambler at least when he can't find a means to gamble, another one is to avoid having fund that could be deposited into his casino wallet to be used for gambling, all these could be possible ways we can manage and deal with people like that.
I have a friend who likes to think that avoiding your problem isn't actually a way to go about but I always tell him that in a case of gambling  addiction avoiding everything that might trigger your urge should be avoided and it's almost the same like mental disabled(drug addict)person who they tend to isolate because of that urge that seldom hit their mind and these lack the capability to control it and that's the same thing as gambling addict so avoiding and staying away from things that might trigger your urge is probably the best way to go about it.


Self discipline, engaging and focusing on something profitable in life is major factor to stay away. If not without exhibing these factors it's very difficult to stay away because gambling and gambling sites are everywhere in  phones and environments and every day we come across different advertisement .
Perhaps, in order to stay away from gambling and advertisements for these games, which you really constantly see everywhere, you probably just need to live in an area where there is no Internet.  Only in this way can you be protected from this influence of gambling temptations with a guarantee.  But we all understand that this is only possible for very very hermits, maybe Buddhist monks in a monastery somewhere in the mountainous areas and in the Amazon jungle.  Smiley
In all other places in the world, alas, it is still possible to access the Internet and, accordingly, the opportunity to use casinos and gamble. 
And therefore, there is still a possibility of becoming a gambling addict.  Including at the stage of the disease.
Lol...but as funny and factual as your statement is, you are telling the truth. The marketing that can influence us is everywhere, it is we who can refine that to know if we will accept or not, and by making sure that we stay away from them if we choose to ignore them. Well, it isn't entirely necessary for someone to go to the bush or the forest before they can do away with most of those disturbing advertisements, they can set it on their gadgets and the browsers or apps they are using. By this, they can continue to use the internet but they can go for the information outlets that have the good style of propagating adverts, while many official sites will not allow the disturbance.

But for those outlets who centre everything on the money, they will always disturb you with advertisements, but you might choose to read them or not, especially if they are not the site that is knowingly batting people to mistakingly click the ads. Many ways exist now that can help the users in this regard, even at times, when I load a site that is disturbing me with too many ads, I off my internet connection even as I do what I want to do there. Anyone can practice that as well, but it depends on the website we are talking about and what you are there to do whether or not the off of the data will not affect you.
Now, of course, they have created some software tools for filtering advertising messages.  However, advertising itself is increasingly becoming targeted and aimed at your specific interests, which you yourself provide to the Internet based on your search queries.  For this reason, it seems to me that it is becoming difficult for gamblers to somehow protect themselves from intrusive advertising of various casinos.  But now this has become the ordinary life of all those people who actively use the Internet.  This is an inevitable direction of development for all of humanity in the era of developed information technologies. 
Of course, I joked about the Amazon jungle, but it’s true that when I find myself in an area where there is no connection to the Internet (this sometimes happens), I get bored.  I’m already used to constantly using the network.  Smiley

Gamblers use their money as their main weapon in gambling. This money means coins, if these coins are stuck by staking then the gambling game of that gambler will stop. A gambler will never stake all his assets, he cannot gamble with those coins until the staking period. And trust wallet seems much more active to me than the atomic wallet you mentioned. Since trust wallet is a decentralized wallet it is most popular among all users.
What if there is no staking? You don't have to stake for you to stop gambling. No need for any reasons or distraction if you want to stop.
But if that's how it works then do any means that you can for you to help yourself get out of gambling.
It stops a lot of gamblers by that but it doesn't ensure that you're going to stop forever.

Trust, Atomic, Exodus, and many other wallets have staking features. Exchanges and some casinos have great staking offers as well. I also think that people should be able just to stop their gambling habits, but not everyone has a strong character. So staking/locking coins for a while is a good option for people with weak hands. But let's not forget that staking comes with some risks as well, nothing is risk-free in the crypto world.

As Terrific said, staking can stop gamblers for a while, but this is not something that can work forever. People should learn how to control their gambling habits and to be responsible gamblers, running away from a problem will not solve it.

This is just gamblers trying to control themselves by using an external force but this is never going to work, as this is similar to what we see with the sites that allow you to self-exclude for a period of time or that even allow you to close your account definitely, but at the end the problem gambler will feel the need to play again and they will open a new account at another casino or violate the TOS of most casinos and get a new account in the casino in which they self-excluded themselves, so staking does not work, and if for some reason it worked for a few people then we can conclude they could have achieved the same results without staking their coin anyway.

If they are trying to do something that can limit  their gameplay then that should be fine even on first time it didn't work for them since for sure they will find another effective solution that can help them minimize their game time on those casino. For sure almost all of us come in this situation and luckily we overcome each trials we face and now we are been in control on the activities we made then can gambling without worrying anything that can affect us especially on financial matters.

Staking might not work but it open other door for people thinking about investment and might this can help them minimize their gambling time and focus to find other alternative platform that can generate them profit for possible investment they want to take. Its just players need other thing to share their attention and for sure everything good we want to happen will follow.

If you're a gambler, then control and manage how you're gambling before it get worse to the extreme stage, also, if you're privileged to see someone gambling in the wrong direction, take it a responsibility to call them into order, some things were better done or dealt with in the early stage before they got worsened, having desires for gambling is not getting yourself harmed by gambling because if ignorance or lack of self control while gambling, the gambling platforms will not control you, it's your own responsibility to do so for yourself.
It is very rare that people listen to others when it comes to this as they will feel judged, and they will think that you are overstepping their boundaries by doing something like this, so even if you were correct on your observations about their gambling habits, you can bet they will continue to gamble as usual, and even if at some point they realize they had a problem you can be sure they will not remember that you tried to help them before things got out of control.

It is very difficult to advise someone who is addicted to playing gambling, because many of their friends or family will ignore them so they don't continue playing gambling, even though they use various methods, that person still continues to do it, the only one The way to do this is to wait for the person to experience financial difficulties in order to give a deterrent effect, but there will be something crazy that he will do in the future, even though it will be a big problem for himself, it is better to let him get into a big problem than to waste his words trying to advise him.
That's a really weird way to go about someone who is gambling and has addiction problem. No doubt that advice is like a total waste of time but I still prefer other method than allowing the person to  gamble away and get stuck because in the process like you said he might do some dangerous and unthinkable things just to achieve his addiction urge and you allowing him to do so is really not the best way to go about it.
In my opinion, simple advice like “Stop playing, you’ll soon go crazy with your games!”  completely useless.  The player is simply in a state of excitement and euphoria from the game and will completely ignore such comments. 
But, for example, turning off the electricity throughout the house while such a gambling player is playing on a PC, deliberately done by one of his family members, will cause anger and even temporary madness of such a player if he realizes that this was done intentionally.  This is also a bad option for helping to overcome gambling addiction in the initial stages.  So the family members are wondering what else can be done to help such a gambler overcome his addiction. 

Perhaps you know interesting original ways?
But then write them here in the topic.  Perhaps they will be useful to someone.

You're all right in your various opinions a.d to be honest here, saying a word ordinarily could help do nothing to avoid a gambler from gambling not to even talk about someone who is addicted to it, but as you've already mentioned,we can try out best in making sure that any gambling enabling environment is neglected or do without, this may curb the gambler at least when he can't find a means to gamble, another one is to avoid having fund that could be deposited into his casino wallet to be used for gambling, all these could be possible ways we can manage and deal with people like that.
I have a friend who likes to think that avoiding your problem isn't actually a way to go about but I always tell him that in a case of gambling  addiction avoiding everything that might trigger your urge should be avoided and it's almost the same like mental disabled(drug addict)person who they tend to isolate because of that urge that seldom hit their mind and these lack the capability to control it and that's the same thing as gambling addict so avoiding and staying away from things that might trigger your urge is probably the best way to go about it.


Self discipline, engaging and focusing on something profitable in life is major factor to stay away. If not without exhibing these factors it's very difficult to stay away because gambling and gambling sites are everywhere in  phones and environments and every day we come across different advertisement .

Even if they learn staking and do it to keep them 21 days away from gambling  but how sure we are that they will not look for another funds to gambling and deposit ?  because there are some gamblers that wanted to keep their funds safer from gambling but cannot prevent themselves to gamble and keeps looking for chance and money to bet.
That's not part of the question so I didn't include it so if that's the hypothetical case, there's a possibility that what you're saying can happen. What to do in this situation is that the person should keep his/her mind occupied with other things like getting a hobby or doing sports, that's one way to do that, distracting yourself with other stuff that's fun for you as much as gambling is definitely a way to prevent that possibility of just finding other ways to gamble, that's what I did when something bad happened to me, I did dwell on it for awhile and then tell myself that I need to find ways to distract me from that sadness even just a little and it did help me at the end of the day.
Gambling can be very annoying and confusing especially when we don't make winnings again like the ways we used to make profits.
There was a time when I was heartbroken for my big loses. I was so confidence in the bet thinking it would all come out in a big win after I staked with funds I supposed to use to get myself some house intensils. The lose was a great one for me and I learnt my lesson to be slow and steady never to go too far because of greed to win big profits.
By that time, you were no longer engaging in gambling responsibly, you had let it out. I mean the emotion and wanting to achieve a goal desperately, especially for the fact that you had lost some substantial amount of money, you are pained already and want revenge, so what did you expect? Gambling must be engaged with the right mind and spirit, otherwise, one will lose and lose and nothing will happen because ego, greed, revenge, anger and many more of them can't help in this situation. It is luck, good style, clear thoughts and patience that can be helpful. This in most cases could demand a break from the gambler for this to happen. And in your case, I will always urge the gambler to take time to cool off, nothing more, you will hardly hear of the story of those who force things with gambling and become successful. It will be mistakes upon mistakes and losses upon losses for them until they are confused and very angry. It shouldn't get to that if we have a prepared mind for gambling as the issue with most is that they are not just prepared but gambling all the same.

Also, the big-win mindset is another issue, gambling is not the place that almost everyone engaging in it will make their life fortune, no, they should think in the other direction. If it is as easy as that, there would be nothing called The House anymore, they would have gone insolvent since they would not be able to pay the winning of people. But if one is patient enough with gambling and gambles with a mind of fun and such that is not desperate for the money, who knows, it could be one day the turn of the gambler to win big. But this comes once in a lifetime in most cases.

Gamblers use their money as their main weapon in gambling. This money means coins, if these coins are stuck by staking then the gambling game of that gambler will stop. A gambler will never stake all his assets, he cannot gamble with those coins until the staking period. And trust wallet seems much more active to me than the atomic wallet you mentioned. Since trust wallet is a decentralized wallet it is most popular among all users.
What if there is no staking? You don't have to stake for you to stop gambling. No need for any reasons or distraction if you want to stop.
But if that's how it works then do any means that you can for you to help yourself get out of gambling.
It stops a lot of gamblers by that but it doesn't ensure that you're going to stop forever.

Basically it's very simple.

You take a currency that requires 21 days for staking/unstaking, then you deposit this amount in Atomic Wallet, stake it and then you can't gamble with the crypto you're holding.

The locking (staking) is done with one single click of a button, and it's practically speaking, equivalent to activation of self-exclusion on an online gambling site with a click of a button (and yet not all sites offer it unfortunately).

For example, you stake (lock) $200 of your crypto, and that's all crypto available for you - then you can't play/gamble/risk it for at least 21 days ... do it 15 times a year time after time, and you would be excluded for a long time.

The only drawback with this method is Atomic doesn't offer this on USDT so some "gamblers" might not like this idea because they trust stablecoins more than other crypto coins, but this is FYI.

That is one good things that can happen to a gambler, learning the lesson with the losses that you've made. But with those gamblers that don't learn a lesson and keep on going, there's a need for them to adjust themselves like what OP and the topic is all about.

Self excluding from the casino that you've been gambling with. But if it is not enough, there has a to be a way for you to keep yourself away from gambling and that's like looking for another interesting thing that you might want or any activity that will help you kill your time and revert the attention that should be for gambling.
