Topic: How to self exclude from anonymous gambling sites - page 4. (Read 6592 times)

Oh my God, this is crazy and it's the best way to self exclude yourself from online gambling platforms. This method is going to work 100% and very effective , although it's limited to those that are married and have a good wife that would be able to to do caution us by not allowing us to go back to gambling. This can be effect if you are disciplined although you can still meet friends to lend you money that can be used to bet which is why it's better we are disciplined as a gamler trying our best to make sure we resist the urge.

I understand that, but the idea to limit or stop gambling should come not from self exclusion from casinos (as there are way to many of them, and gambler its impossible to exclude from all of them), but to make limitation, correction, I dont know what else could help, with gamblers funds. When gambler does not have resources or resources can not be used for gambling, it kills gambling addiction problem from its root. Self exclusion from a casino, this is only a first and tiny step, which can be avoided easily.

Most banks does have that rule that they won't allow deposits from casinos and vice versa so, that could be a flag to them if funds will be used to deposit and withdraw to and from casinos.

This is a matter of personal conviction if someone wants to exclude himself from the gambling websites that are visible nowadays everywhere. And I think your suggestion is good, there are banking apps that also allows you to set your limit per day for withdrawals.

That is what I am saying. Self excluding is worse than hydra. You close access for one casino, but within few seconds is able to find dozens of new casinos. For self exclusion to be successful, I think a gambler should operate within his bank account. Dont know if it is possible, but try to make limitations or rules for transactions. For example allow transactions to be made in food store and clothes shops. Make a daily limit of several tens dollars in random places. That might help somehow. And even though, gambling addicted people are very creative.

Exclusions are useless because if a gambler doesn't have plans on quitting then no matter how you do make yourself that restric to play but still you would find ways for you to play no matter how hard it is.We do know that there are tons of ways on making yourself able to play in today's easy accessibility on which I have said that it's something useless if we do speak about exclusions for someone who can't be able to do so, because if you do really want to quit or stop then you could actually do it.

If we think about self exclusion and gambling globally, then does it really help? Gambler can self exclude himself from online casino, but there are many different casinos. Gambler can self exclude himself from offline casino or try to do that from every casino nearby, but there are always casinos abroad or in other city, as well as illegal casinos or gambling game that is organized by friends. Whatever gambler did no do, there are always options to return.

You are right, mate, but the truth is that, is not every gambler that seem to learn the characteristics of gambling, some gamblers both newbies and old gamblers thinks they can determine the out of their bet because they believe that I will definitely go as they have predicted it, they don't think of the negative outs but are always positive and it cause them to lose more.

If that is easy, we will not face many gamblers difficult to take a break. Unfortunately, they don't think to do that especially if they already lost big money. They will continue gambling without think about more losses. Self exclude can be used for a gambler who think he may playing gambling too often so he can try to use that feature. But if he can not control himself from avoiding casino, whether it is offline or online casino, he will return to casino and gambling. That is why controlling ourselves when gambling is needed so we don't have to use that feature and we can also avoid the problem.

The self exclude features, is mostly available in many modern casinos like I've seen. So I just don't think its really necessary for the time lock. You just have to use this feature if you can't control yourself or your gambling activities. Most times I just advice one to try his best and control himself. Having self control is what determines your wins as gambler in the long term. Most Gamblers aren't able to control their self and thus end up becoming addicted. Just understand that when you find your self gambling too much, try as much as you can to take a break. This will prevent some losses that are uncalled for.

Lol...This is funny but in a not-funny discussion.

The wife could serve in many capacities, but I hope the wife is good, otherwise, you may regret it even more. However, I prefer a better logical solution to things like this. No matter how you think you can curtail yourself this way, you might find a way out to override it. An example is reaching out to external people for money, if your status is good, they will surely oblige you, this includes family and friends.

This may threaten the reason you put your wife in control of your finances. My best bet remains that we should fight and win within ourselves, no better option.

This is of course excellent advice. However, it only works on cautious, prudent and reasonable players. And among the entire multi-million group of gamblers on a global scale, there are too few such players in my opinion. Basically, all these preparatory actions are simply ignored by players and as a result, the game begins to acquire a chaotic and unpredictable nature. The player makes decisions spontaneously and often incorrectly, which naturally takes place. As a result, for obvious reasons, the player loses more than the one who was able to start playing according to the algorithm of his actions in the order as you described it. This is of course the correct order. But it is impossible to re-educate players to be more careful and prudent. Unfortunately.

I share your view but this is what leads to more unreasonable gambling, it has to be shunned. If gamblers do not know what they want and how they will get it done, what they want will manipulate them into misbehaviour and they will lose all their money and even their sanity because it will surely infest their psychology. I've had enough ugly experiences in trading which is similar to gamble, but the good part is that it trained me to be well-behaved to the point that gambling preparation and handling are workovers for me.

What you need to do to fix this is have your gambling system and plan before you start gambling. You can start by knowing what works for you, having a budget, finding the right management for the budget and making sure you have your gambling session and keep your psychology intact (discipline). You don't just enter the gambling house or open the platform, you do that only when you are ready financially and mentally.

Hahaha this makes a man life ends in wife hands because he can not use his salary like before. He can not do his habit that needed money and will stay at home after he finish his work.
Maybe that man will stress in high level when he doesn't have money even for just buying some drink with his friends. Yes, that methods is very effective and maybe those people can try and see the result.
But that is a very good idea to give our wife the full access to control our salary so they can strictly prohibit when we want to use that money for something that she doesn't know.

😂😂😂 You got me laughing really hard and rolling on the floor, I am sensing that you have said this not out of your own mind, but based on experience, I am a married man too and I say you are very right, very correct.

On a more serious note now, it's already agreed that women are way better managers than men are, and honestly, this is a very good idea you've shared, one that deserves a lot of merits but unfortunately, I have known at the moment.
A married man who is addicted to gambling and wants out but has not been able to, indeed have not tried all the available options, and this option I would agree is the best and most effective one so far.
But then, it's not going to be an easy journey for the man that decides to hand over the management of his finances to his wife, it will take a hell lots of patience to cope.

I think that each of us has been through this state more than once, when you regret some of your gaming actions, and this is obvious. However, it is worth noting that over time and gaining gaming experience, with this feeling of disappointment, you begin to have more and more reasoned answers to the question of why you did exactly this in the game. And this, in turn, even if a little, but still smooths out the intensity of emotional experiences from your loss. I think this is also why experienced players generally do not worry too much about another loss compared to how newbies in gambling worry about them. But of course, you need to spend quite a lot of time with the game before you develop such skills of indifference, how else can you define this state.

All of us did really past up with this kind of situation on which it will really be that understandable  that there would really be those times or moments that we do fail on controlling ourselves because we are really just that indeed humans and not all the time we would really be able to have such control on the moment or time that we do feel up that greed. Exclusions are useless if you are that having no plans on quitting in the first place.
People would really be that going back again to play again and again as long they do have the money that they could really be able to make use of. There would really be those times or moments that you do really end up on having those deep regrets that you shouldnt have done that something like this. We do know that when it comes into this aspect that this is the main reason on why people do really mess up their lives.

In speaking about exclusion feature then this could usually be able to find out into those licensed or centralized gambling platforms on which they are really that abiding government laws and regulations.
As if these platforms are really that in concern into someones addiction problems but deep insider they do really want it the most on which we know that this could really be able to bring out that huge profit
into their business and thats why they would really be preferring it out.

Well that's true, I think that's not a bad method to do , Actually there are quite a lot of ways that we can do to exclude ourselves from gambling, one of which is as you suggested, but it all comes back to you, because usually there are always some gamblers who want to get out of their gambling habits but their statements are nothing more than just nonsense that is usually said when they experience defeat and maybe it's because of the annoyance of victory far from them.

On the other hand, to be honest, I am a former addicted gambler, and I managed to get out of the addiction cycle with a method that is more or less the same as the one you suggested, namely by excluding myself from anything that smells of gambling, such as avoiding the environment of gambling friends and deleting all access that can connect me to gambling such as accounts and this method can really thwart my desire to gamble.

As funny as it sounds it's a great method, since you have no access to cash you can't gamble.
You can also deposit your cash in a bank account overseas.

For instance you are in the UK and in the UK you can easily gamble with a click of a button but if your money is overseas you won't be tempted to gamble so quickly.
Or you can use Gamban in the UK but lots of people don't want to be 100% strict and ban themselves forever from gambling, they want more control, i.e. to not lose too much but some people do want to place bets here and there etc. so by having your money overseas - or - as implied in the very first post - in staked crypto currencies which are locked for some time - you're regaining control over your finances.

This is exactly what the wife's suggestion is doing, only via two different extremes, each one should choose what he/she likes more.

Among all the gamblers, there are not so many people with the strongest self-control. I think that almost every one of you, the players, has been in such a situation when two feelings are fighting inside you - to stop the game and to continue the game. And when you stopped playing, the thought is spinning in your head that you acted stupidly and missed your luck and winnings. And if you continued to play and lost, then the thought is also negative - why did I act so stupidly by continuing to play. As a result, in the process of making your decisions, it turns out that two options lead to negative and only one leads to positive - this is the option when you decided to continue the game and luck was on your side and you won. But no matter how you twist it, 2/3 of your decisions are negative and only 1/3 are positive.
This is the essence of gambling.

I know a method that will work for 100% if we talk about exclusion from casino and money management. Just give your card and bank accounts passwords to your wife She will easily exclude you from casinos, fishing stores, golf or any other hobby. The greedy the wife, the more effective this method will be. I am not joking. If you want to return to school era and have lunch money only, then let wife manage finances.
