Topic: How to self exclude from anonymous gambling sites - page 33. (Read 6573 times)

Well, this is very easy for you, possibly because you are not an addicted gambler, you know, things seems very simple for us to simply ignore when we are not addicted to such thing, but for that person who is addicted to it, it's pretty very difficult to ignore.

I myself for example can go a whole week without gambling, even when I have good balance on my casino account bankroll, sometimes, I even forget that I have some money there, I only learn about that when I login to copy my address to make some deposit, all this is happen because I am not a gambling addict.
But for the addicted, it's pretty hard to go a whole day without gambling, it will look like the whole world is collapsing on them.

Sometimes, it makes sense for us to try to see and discuss things like this from other peoples perspective, people who are addicted to gambling, and not from our own perspective since we are not addicted.

lol, this is not what I expected when I read the title. I just don't open the website if I don't want to gamble, I think it's better than going roundabout way.

Actually, it depends on each gambler. If they don't want to gamble for a while, they don't need to visit the casino. They don't need to use the Vault feature and hold their coins there. And it is safer for them because they don't have to worry about their coins even if they keep their coins in a trusted casino.

Do not deposit coins in casinos as it carries risks. And it is our job to minimize this risk so that it does not become bigger. And instead of worrying about the safety of the coins we keep, we should keep the coins in our wallet.

That would be better than saving it in the Vault feature. That also includes controlling yourself not to gamble for a while and you won't worry about anything.

Well, as much as this is a good idea, I personally do not see it as feasible, or practicable, most especially for those who are constant earners and get money like every day or every week, such a gambler can stake the amount he or she earned in a day or in a week, and by the next day or week, when the urge to gamble is at its full again, the money comes in and the gambler will straight away use that for gambling instead of adding it to the ones he or she already staked.

So, in the nutshell, this, like I said earlier, is a good idea but it's impracticable, it can not work for most gamblers, anyone looking for an effective way to self exclude themselves from gambling should find other feasible and working ways, for this, to me will not work.

Vault feature isn't really a thing, you can still have access to your coins since the casino not really lock it.

It's only help money management, when you only see $20 in your main wallet, you will not gamble more than $20 if you use auto bet. You can immediately send the coins from your vault to your main wallet anytime you want, after all it depends on your self control.

First, the choice of the Atomic wallet is very bad, at least for me, and I would prefer using Trustwallet here. After all, aside from the better safety of my money with Trustwallet, I still prefer the stablecoins in a situation like this. Unless I want to be looking for the perfect time to use the unstable ones which will alter the investment plan.

Second, I do not believe this is a self-exclusion in any way, they are different ballgames entirely. The risk is still involved, only that the time the risk would materialize into loss or gain is higher. This is no different from options trading in the traditional option market where one would place his bet and leave it for as long as the platform permits. In some options platforms, you can still hold your bet for a month or even more, and by that one must have doused any tension that is making them bet aggressively (the addiction).

Lastly, this can teach some patience if the person won't still be tempted to bet elsewhere as this might be so boring. Also, it's nothing lesser than gambling, you are not excluding anything here. Again, I also advise anyone who will go for it not to use their main wallet for it.

The OP only gave a specific tip, in broad terms you should allocate your money (which should be for gambling) to other things. This isn't a new tip for gamblers anymore, and it also doesn't dampen the urge when someone has problems with their gambling habits.

After all, a guy must have a good reason to go out with staking when he currently wants entertainment at home while he has a few $ in a casino account.

Well, if you lock your coins.. you not just stopping you from gambling... you also make it unavailable to sell them, if they hit the next ATH in that period. I know the reason for this is to stop you from using it for gambling, but this can even cost you a lot more, if you miss the opportunity to make huge profits, if the price of those tokens goes to the Moon.

A lot of casinos have a vault option, so I was thinking.... why not just ask them to lock the coins in the vault. (so that you cannot access it)

You can do the same kind of transaction ... with Bitcoin!
Just made a time-locked TX and lock your funds for certain amount of block (time).
I don't know exactly why but I will be scared to lock funds in a crypto. Isn't this gambling too ?

This is the idea that I am talking about a couple of weeks ago  to get rid of gambling addiction or at least staying on your budget. and it actually worked on me Tho it is not recommended to keep your money in centralized exchange but I do it anyway  so basically I buy a near token with and lock it for 120 days and just yesterday I lost 275$ and I want deposit more my solana that 25$ goes all in and lost I too iwant to wd my near but I locked so Im safe at least for now hahah

So if you find a way to help other people and it involves a video you're not allowed to post it? How about this guy Jacob from Vegas?

153k views, he truly helps people in this video by explaining how they can get upgrades for free! Is that a bad thing? So he promotes his channel along the way. So what - people get value on the same time.

Now regarding your claim not providing a "real advice" to gaming addicts, how about you read outside of Bitcointalk from real addicts?

Quotes from CasinoMeister:

"This is the one main drawback for Cryptos - many dont run KYC and so even if a person runs SE - (some do offer this ) its a token gesture as a person can re-sign up instantly with different email / IP. The only real way for a problem gambler to combat this would be by cutting off the source - e.g getting your bank to block crypto"

"I still think that crypto casinos have a social and moral obligation to offer help or support where needed, as we all do, but only one or two I know of seem to offer some kind of responsible gambling advice or program."

"As much as I love the idea of crypto and decentralisation, the space attracts criminals, scammers and the sort of people who don't care about how they affect other people."

"Yes, this is a huge minus, totally agree."

This is just one thread among many, you're welcome to look at Reddit, PsychicForums and basically do your own reasearch before you accuse people for not providing a real advice. Maybe you're the one who's contributing nothing to this thread, so save your opinion to yourself.

Most of the gambling platforms have got the self exclusion feature. This can be used of our own or we can reach the support team who does it for us. Later whenever we want to make a return we can request the support team and they'll allow us to gamble. This is really good feature when you want a break from gambling.

There's no such thing specially having those self exclusion would really be that relevant or something that would really be effective against into those gambling addicts on which you would really be playing and finding yourself do come back and forth on playing gambling as long you do have a get a hold of your funds. If you've been locked or blocked then you could really just that simply find another place on which you could really be able to play on on which it would really be just that so normal that you wont really be something that cant be stopped as long you do have the funds.
Self control would be crucial and something that it is really needed but we know that not all would really be having that kind of control and discipline towards themselves
and this is why they would really be ending up on a disaster.

It's a very interesting idea, and you can do a similar thing with USDT on some blockchains and layer2 networks by using a smart contract loking your funds. You can even doing it with Bitcoin by sending your funds to another address and using the LockTime feature from the BTC protocol available on most wallets. You can also put your funds into a 2-of-2 multisig wallet and give the other private key to someone you trust, like your partner, a relative or a good friend and tell them to only give you back the key after one given date unless an emergency happens.

I guess this is how it looks when you really "self-exclude yourself" from gambling... just move all your money away from yourself, into some locked service, or anyway far from yourself.  But what makes self-exclusion really efficient is that you have your money with you, but you decide to not spend it on gambling... that is a powerful mind. It's never easy to stop with something that is deep inside us, but there are ways to beat the force that drives us to do some "wrong" things.

In the end, I believe that self-exclusion works far better than some casino exclusions... if we are not ready to give up some things, nothing else can help!

A lot of time,  most of the challenges faced by a few gamblers who may have experienced some form of addictive forces due to uncontrollable gambling habits and much more also how they choose to handle the gambling activities and the amount they are willing to stake at whatever point in time,  many of them have failed to apply that formula to apply caution, self-control is a highly needed and at some point the only way out is to apply that caution when we have that self-control can determine what we expect from our actions and how best we follow them,  setting a path to follow and limits to how much you stake at some point is something that requires individual determinations.

But if we can still go further to implement a wallet that gives us some form of control which we can set how much we spend in a week and exceeding that amount will be unavailable,  that also will help us with an extra layer of control over how much we bet with.

The problem with other people is the maintenance of their self-control.  Many gambler are one-day responsible gambler and the next day can't control themselves.  Locking fund simply maintain their gambling exclusion for them.

Although there is a risk for a third party lacking our funds, but it make sure that the fund can't be used for gambling for a certain period of time, and that keeps us from gambling during the time when the fund is locked.

It is easy to say self-control but many of us here often times lose it specially when we are triggered by the game.

The last method is the only one that will work, trying to control ourselves by using an external source is never going to fully work, it may work for a time, but if the desire to gamble becomes too intense then at some point that person will stop staking or locking their coins and they will gamble with them, so it is way better to gain the inner strength needed to control ourselves, since anyone that truly wants to achieve this goal should be able to do so without too much of a problem.

It's not about gamblers not liking this idea, it's about people who know well not liking the whole idea. When you are doing a lock staking in centralized platforms, you lose all the privacy and control over your assets. Also just because you keep someone away from doing something doesn't mean that he won't do it again when he get the chance. He will sit down eagerly for the day to come when those coins will be unlocked and he will be able to gamble again. Isn't that more risky?

If you want to quit gambling it has to come from inside of you. Your willingness to quit the gambling will lead you to success. You cannot force yourself by doing something if you don't have the will to do it in the first place. And the idea you provided not only put our assets and risk also it might not help the way you explained it should.

I pink I prefer these option of self exclusion. For anyone who is not technical sticking you using the atomic wallet may be quite interesting and discouraging because of the amount of time the person needs to invest in knowing how to sell exclude. A month easier option is what you have talked about we choose learning self control. With self control you can tell yourself, I am off for this period of time and that is it.
