Topic: Limited escrow service for building self discipline. (Read 551 times)

I agree there are some cons to the escrow solution. If the agreement is a long term one it becomes very risky losing the funds on a hack rarely happens then there's also a chance for one of the escrows disappearing at anytime (mentioned this before) unless you personally know the escrow.

It would be interesting to hear what the escrows (and those who tried it before) have to say to this and if they've received a request similar to OPs example.


There are escrows that don't cost a lot I know there are some affordable services out there but I don't know if they'll take these kind of request. And paying shouldn't be a problem knowing that you spent most of your money on gambling.

That's really nice to know that you are able to control your emotions related to gambling. But not everyone can do that because not everyone has a metal ability to do that! The same goes for any other addiction like smoking or alcohol. My grandfather used to be a heavy smoker during his mid 40s and he stopped smoking in a day's notice. Never went back to smoking again after that because he had supreme control on his emotions. He had to go through medical help due to the withdrawal symptoms he was facing but he did not loose the control on his mind. Not everyone is privy to such control over their own mind.

I think what OP suggested is a wise idea but having outsider escrow is a bad idea. In this case, someone senior in the family should act as escrow. It will ensure the control as well minimize the chance of loosing the money due to fraud/theft!

Just think of a way how to control these emotions. I know it is very hard but I think it could be helpful to see other things that might alter your interest and to minimize your addiction in gambling. In my case I have my pet, a dog and usually I need to take care of it so my time couls easily pass by hanging with my pet. This has been able me to minimize the addiction though in gambling. I had also seen that my resources are being save due to the loss tha has been minimized and put to good use as my wife suggested. Happy to see those things that made me realize that addiction is really a problem when it will be gone to worst.

No it work yet you know that you can alter out your decisions from time to time and since you do know that you do have still money left on your stash then you will probably using it up and claim it for you to use.
This is why its somewhat useless if you do  have this kind of arrangement on where you do look up for some escrow to hold up your funds.Just like what others mentioned that this kind of service is not needed.
You do have the full control and if not then you will surely learn up from your mistakes as simple as that.Also you would need to pay up for such service which do really sucks.

Not all people can control themselves just like we do. I can also limit myself from those overspending of money in gambling because I only see myself releasing my stress to it.

Escrow can really help a lot of gamblers who are struggling overcome their addiction.

I don't really believe in the idea of "you can stop gambling immediately" without even looking for another source of entertainment or someone/something that will hold your money. Obviously if you are a gambling addict you will not control yourself easily from spending another money. So I think, escrow will guide most of those gamblers to stop and prevent themselves from wasting huge amount of money.

gambling places will always provide a very high risk, therefore you should be able to remain alert when doing any gambling games, because there will never be someone who can guarantee profit, all of them have the potential to become poor instantly or if you are lucky then you can become rich instantaneously.

I won't do that for myself, money management is important to be mastered. I have to learn hard to make my money management is good and can give a profit consistent to whatever I do (gambling or trading).

If I trust someone else to manage my money I believe I can't unfold and just stuck somewhere where I have to continue to deposit my money without making a withdrawal.

The service might be suitable for those gambling addict who just make deposit, I mean he just think that gambling is his hobbies and never thinking that he has to get a profit in it. At least it will help him to not only spend his money, he will have a saving where he can take anytime he wants.

Such services would be nice but i doubt that any player would actually withhold their money to a middle man especially when gambling. Because there are instances that you might quickly spend all your bankroll in an instant, as you might know casino's are risky there's always a high chance to win big or loss big quickly. And you call the escrow to give the funds and he refuses, but threaten him to end the contract.

It really depends on us, some people are really into gambling and you can't stop them from gambling as it is the thing that entertains them. Escrow can really help those people who are in need to eliminate their addiction and manipulate their urge on gambling. By that, they can really maintain themselves as this will help them control and organize their assets so that they can't easily spend it into gambling and waste it.


It is hard to do it with only yourself. Let's talk about the reality, a person can't instantly stop himself from gambling if he is addicted to it.

Maybe, little by little, he can minimize the money that he is going to spend so that his funds will not be wasted on those gambling platforms.

This is on point, there is no need for escrow if we trust ourselves enough that we are in control, that we can limit our game and if have escrow that we will  not lie to ourselves that we will not have other funds other than the fund being escrowed. However, there will be sure plenty of times that one will be able to say to themselves that "last try, till many last happen", better if casino will have their own limiting deposit to control the players which is quite impossible  since what they wanted is for us to be addicted in playing.

Yes, it's not proper to entrust your money to someone if you are still in your good mind.


It's our money we should control it properly instead of letting someone to manage it for us, being responsible is what we need instead.


It's indeed what we needed in order to control this, we have to learn how to properly manage our bankroll.

Actually there is no harm at all if you will get the right person and the one that has a good history in escrowing transactions or deals.

And for the fee, there's no need to discuss it as it's common for them to get paid because they are offering a service. Unless the escrow is your friend or you know him/her personally and is waiving the fee just for you.

This is going to be useless if aside from the escrowed funds you still have other funds kept in other wallets which are fully under your control. So it is not going to be effective for me. At the end of the day, it is not about having an escrow or having the bankroll management skill but having the right disposition or discipline to say no or enough. It is really all about control.

If you cannot control yourself, what assurance do you have that the funds in your other wallets outside the escrowed funds will remain untouched after your gambling wallet is drained?

but I feel there is no harm in paying them to help well because when we pay they will provide good service with full experience they are experts. if done alone sometimes it's still wrong because I think I still don't have much experience to handle this alone.

I don't think it's a wise decision to entrust a third party to manage our bankroll management. Because of the effect we will dependence
on these third parties, which means we have to pay more to pay for their services. It's better for bankroll management to be done by
ourselves, more effective for building self discipline.

Treat this like a special case.

There really are people that needs somebody's help in things like this. It is like hiring your personal money control management through a service of an escrow and it should be correspondent with a fee because it's a service that they have to get paid for. They'll allocate their time and effort for keeping your money safe and again, this is for those people that can't manage their money alone and can't control their behavior as they gamble.

In the first place I'm wondering why we need that while we are betting? I got the point about for having a person who hold your money in any case but its a double hassle for us since Im sure we need to pay those guys just to do the service for us. I really think the most effective way is to limit our self to put a huge capital to gamble, always bring the amount what we can afford to loss and think about leaving when that amount is already emptied on our pocket.

They can as long as you can pay them for the service that they will render to you. It is a solution for yourself if you alone can't handle your money and control it.

But if you can, there is no need for others to handle your money. Self-discipline can be done by ourselves.

I don't think an escrow would work for such scenarios as OP has pointed out. Escrows are middle man for transactions and not for holding our funds and providing to us on a regular basis. If we are spending higher than we thought it should indeed be controlled by us and not by anyone managing the fund. On another hand, if we tend to win higher in the gambling i.e for example 10 BTC, an escrow should indeed create a secured cold wallet to store the funds. Having a large sum of bitcoin in hot wallet would put the escrow in question and there are higher possibilities of escrow losing the fund on a hack.

Even if escrow tends to agree upon the holding of funds and releasing them at right times, cold storage wallet would pose a trouble. What if the gambler requires few hundred dollars each week and troubling the escrow each and every time to release from the cold storage? As ralle14 said, escrow shouldn't agree upon with frequent transfer of funds but rather should act on specific timelines.

More or less, such an event of escrow managing our fund for future expenses is highly unlikely.

It would really be a stressful thing for your part that you do always mind of that you have funds on other people or platform on where you do trust up or store your funds just because you are trying to control up yourself on spending.We can actually do this on our own and its not really that necessary to have such feature or service because if people do really tend to control up themselves then they can
really do it anytime.

Its just a matter of self-discipline and control because if you dont have these things then you will surely spent your money as long you do know that you do have still into your pocket.
When you do gamble  then be sure that you only spend on the amount that you can afford to lose.

The main and most evident issue when talking about forced self discipline is that you leave yourself with a restriction you may really not want to have in a matter of time. Like, imagine you won $100k but you set your account so that you only get to withdraw $1k a month.. and one week later you urgently need all your funds.

If there's a way you can somehow cancel this escrow thing, it'd make no sense to have it in the first place. So I personally say it's a bad idea to have forced self-discipline. If you really cannot abstain from gambling more than you can afford to, then you'd probably be better off gambling at all.

You know you can do it yourself and pretty easily, I am someone who stakes my TRX and all my gambling is also done via TRX and later converted into bitcoins when I need them.

So basically I put my coins on staking and I cannot access them until a specified date which prevents me from gambling and also makes me some nice profit because if I was going to hand over my coins to someone just to control them, then I would always be worried if the person can be trusted or not and if even I can trust him then I am not getting any return on my money instead I might be paying some fees to the person holding it for me.

But being a gambler I can tell you that it is not easy because when you lose some money initially then you feel desperate to win the amount back and that desperate moments can cost even bigger loss maybe it is worth having someone else control your funds but make sure they are trusted and you can access them in case of absolute scarcity. I have played in past where I locked my funds for a set date but it felt horrible when I needed them but I could not access them. So, I am not a big fan of locking your money but if you get out of control then yes it might be worth it.

I think if you rather only deposit as much as you are affording to loose then you don't even need bankroll management because you know what you deposited was affordable to be lost.

Yes it's possible as long as they're getting paid but I doubt there would be a lot of gamblers willing to use escrows since most of them don't spend too much.

Doing it on your own is always better but the escrow solution is most likely for those who already failed and are looking for other alternatives.

If that's the case then the escrow should ignore your requests, once the funds are in his hands it should only be released on the said date.

A good self-control would be enough if one needs to restrict himself from playing. he doesn't need to let anyone secured his earnings since he can control himself without a problem and this is something for anyone to practice if they don't have it yet. This won't come easy at the start, but on the long run, you will gonna use to it and will not carried away by his emotions.

i know and the op know that not all gamblers are going to agree or do it , thats why he put limited on the title . that few people are possible to handle by few trusted escrows but that escrow should be really trusted and show proof that he still controls that original account just to be safe . doing it by ourselves or saving money on our own isnt really that effective because we can touch and gamble the money if we are bored .

Not really practical to apply, because we know how big the crypto gambling industry is and we have very few members who is trusted with such huge money so do you really think it is possible for them to handle all the traffic?

And why you can't do that by yourself.

some apps allow you to block sites for set amount of time if you want to force a break

The more a gambler tried to limit his bet, the more they desire to gamble when they lose it within the set of periods they set with the supposed escrow or a person that entrusted with the fund.

This not actually effective for me. I'd rather try to resist the desire to gamble once I lose, with my funds just accessible anytime. If I set a certain amount to gamble per week and loses it all on the 2nd or 3rd day, there are chances that I will not follow the escrow terms.

We as a gambler have a mindset that once we won, we always want to repeat it that's why even with continuous loss, we don't stop.

I think so because when he can win much money, he will not send all of the win money to the escrow, but only send some amount and telling that escrow that he only win that money
It's easy to say that while we are not in the "face to face" with the escrow because we will feel that is our win money, all of the amounts, so why we should send that money to the escrow and let them manage the funds

Have you tried this idea before? Are you profitable with it as someone who spends alot of time playing and betting on poker? If it's doesn't work for you and you spend alot of time on poker then you clearly are gambling. And it's not a good idea.
In my opinion, bettors who spend alot of time and money betting should at least be consistently profitable.

If you are badly addicted to gambling, even your "escrow" who will be holding your money for a limited time won't be able to help you.
I bet the gambler will eventually break the terms and force the escrow to return the money. They will start making excuses that they need the money for some other "purposes".
If you think you have addiction problem, don't go to an escrow, go to a real person who can help you with your addiction.

In the end, though, you're just pretty much running from the essence of the problem, which is self-discipline. By hiring third parties to hold your money, your basically saying that "I can't control myself, so instead, you put on a leash on me so that I don't go overboard" kind of thing. Plus, the thought of it comes after you put it in an escrow, but what if you don't? There's a sort of mentality where you just put it on hold for literally forever, saying excuses, but you just don't really want to do it. Once you get this sort of mentality, it's hard to let go, and if you apply it to this situation, won't it be a never-ending loop? And the fact is, you can't even manage self-discipline by then because you believe that the escrow would do it for you, but again as I said, you'd just make up excuses to not use it for now, but in the future, and that'd just make it a loop that's going to hurt you a lot.

This is a very good idea to be realized immediately, because a lot of addicted gamblers whose lives are destroyed because when playing gambling
can't manage their own bankroll. Maybe with a limited escrow service that helps managing bankroll, and can control themselves more disciplined
when playing gambling. If there really is an escrow service like that I will be very happy, because I am one of those who always fails control
emotions when trading. Especially if I play dice I can use up my bankroll. Although some people disagree with this concept and limited escrow
service will be useless in the end. I still want to try it, because of my principle if we never try, we will never know the results.

It is really not an interesting concept and as others said that this wont much be needed because people will eventually learn on how to manage up their funds along the process.It doesnt need any control or limitations from someone on how they should gonna spend their funds.
Instead on limits this would rather result into inpatient behavior since you do know that you do still have money left into your escrow then you will still end up on withdrawing those since you do like to play even more.
Setting out withdrawing options would be all in no use when you do cancel out it anytime and escrow has nothing to do but to agree and release your funds as you wish.

it is just like diet on balance food eating that many were not able to follow the instruction. Instead of losing weight, many were gaining even more after body begins to starve and one will look for delicious bad for the diet foods. This is what look like to a user limiting him/herself on playing gambling activities. As we know that gambling could make a user addicted to it and will resort to losses of everything he/she has. It is difficult to stop the habit unless a family member will help that user to get away from gambling addiction.

In my own opinion and basing also the happening of the pandemic, I have make time fully occupied simply by having pets. I have dogs, cat and rabbits to take care and that made my time fully occupied with lesser time to do on gambling.

No offense but I don't see this as an interesting concept.

Putting limitations on how much should a gambler spend for let's say daily, the weekly or monthly period will just make them more aggressive to play especially if their supposed funds to be covered by monthly just loss in a matter of few days or weeks.

This is spoonfeeding. Let them learn how to manage well their money. If sometimes, they won big and ended up zero, they will realize now how important managing the money is. On a good side, there are responsible gamblers that know how to use their money wisely. If they can, those irresponsible gamblers can do it too.

why not using a cold wallet? I mean if you get a decent win just withdraw to a cold wallet.
Also if you had a level of security (likewise private key is in another house/location or before using you should use 2 or more keys) even if you are in hurry to spend/empty your wallet you have enough time to avoid and don't waste your funds.
Even you can set a timelock https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Timelock

Why not use an escrow? What if he is a scammer? I know it's "rare" but some times it happens
Secondly if escrow has a problem and lost access to a wallet? Or worst situation he disappear due an accident?
Well using a smart contract or a cold wallet is a better solution
Not your keys = Not your coins!

Nitrogensports too.

I guess limiting myself in gambling would just be limited to me too, I'll handle myself and learn from it.
Getting other services or people involve might be too costly, and it would only delay a gambler's maturity in what they are doing.

we make mistake, be it, but we can learn from it and we will not be greedy in the long run.

Maybe I have to transfer it to my controlled wallet if you still don't find an escrow to give what you are asking for. Yeah, it is really hard to control ourselves knowing that we still have money in the wallet but maybe this time, we have to learn to control it. Maybe it was safe than we let other hands manage it. We have to think first about the possible bad happenings as money it really tempting. Because if you have a plan of what you do with this money, I don't think it brought you into addiction and but most likely, you were able to manage it.

Same thing that had in mind!
Its not really that necessary to use up these escrows just to limit out yourself to play since you can do it on your own without the need of service of others.
Also you should consider that theres a fee on using up their service then thats an add up on the expense.You can remove all of those if you can simply
just hold up your own money but we know that each person do have its own level of discipline, maybe some people do see this as a good idea but for people
who do had this control will find this useless.

A nice concept but I believe it won't be used by players who are too hooked in gambling or players that have self-discipline unless being implemented on the casino they are playing automatically.  I don't find it helpful to put my bankroll funds to third party.  It is not a matter of trust but the matter of delay itself which the concept actually wanted to implement to prevent players to spend too much.  Besides, it will never be attractive if not coupled with bonuses and staking.


Same thought here.

The idea is somehow good but i dont have that kind of level of confidence when it comes on sending out my winnings or even storing up my money pending out on a certain escrow(no matter how reputable or trustable it is)

Im not really not just too confident for that matter and instead on having that peace of mind then you would really be minding or stressing up yourself that you do know that you have some funds that is outside of your control.

I would rather prefer on losing my money in my own hands via gambling rather than letting others handle out my gambling fund capital or the winnings.

Definitely a good idea, while I have seen several people rack in incredible profits from gambling, I've also seen a similar number of people get rekt.

From what I've seen, practically every single one of the ones that got rekt did so because they couldn't properly manage their money. They'd gamble too often, too much, and make risky bets to recoup their earlier losses—and then end up further in the red.

Simply creating an account-based limit isn't enough, considering it's trivially easy to just a second account.

There needs to be a direct service like this that holds the players accountable, and provides no means to circumvent the system. Needs to be somebody extremely trustworthy though, and I'm not sure anybody would actually pay for the service, which makes it a tough sell for most people.

Thanks for pointing out my only feedback. Did you actually went through my post ? Where exactly I present my self as escrow ? This is the gambling discussion forum and I have shared a concept to ponder upon by learned members that is it.
By the way the only feedback is because of fucking 5 dollars, and I did the review but since there was no time frame, Yahoo left a neg within 36 hrs. He is a very reputed member here and I have no hard feelings but IMHO he could have waited for sometime at least.
Any way I contacted him urging him to reconsider his feedback which I am glad he did.

If you read any of the threads recommending proven escrows, you will read numerous stories of persons wanting to establish themselves as escrows.

They are all told that they need to establish themselves as trusted members of the Forum before entering into the escrow business.

The OP CryCrptoCry does not appear to have conducted any trusted transactions here and only has one piece of feedback:



which is not a stellar start to their career.

Ordinarily I would not recommend anyone pass their winnings in the heat of the moment to a third person immediately after a win and I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone use this person as a bank until they prove themselves here.

Involving a third-party for one's problems regarding bankroll management and self-control isn't really good. Also, even if one platform limit your max bet for a single day (which I think most platforms would gladly ignore to implement), the gambler could just hop from one platform to another, effectively evading betting restrictions on one platform and just proceeding to bet on another. There isn't a third-party solution to self-control, unless the said third-party is allowed to do anything to prevent the person in question from doing different actions to gamble.

There's none afaik, the closest you could get from spending way too much is to self exclude but that won't help since it's easy to create an account with other sites.

I agree there's always some escrows willing to do it as long as certain conditions are met and I remember seeing a few gamblers do it before but it's scary if they suddenly became inactive.

One solid alternative to limited escrows would be using timelock to force your Bitcoins to confirm at a specific time and once it's done there's no turning back.

You already mentioned the reason why this escrow thing won't be effective in the long-run.

Once a gambler experienced winning big, you won't take that feeling away from him for a lifetime. Meaning, a gambler will always come back to somehow take chances again on that pot. Once that funds that supposed to be used only in gambling depleted, the chance of wrecking the terms with the said escrow is always possible.

It's better for me to just allow the gambler to control the funds on their own. In that way, they can test how disciplined they are in managing their bankroll and winnings.

It's a good idea we have this thinking when gambling that we must strike when the iron is hot or another could be another lucky day and escrow is a good idea to control your urge to pour everything , because we always want revenge every time we suffer losses, another preferable option is a friend you can trust who is not a gambler, and who will not give in easily.

Yes, I see that many gamblers have that problem. But many of them are not realize that they really need help from other people. The escrow agent will help them manage their money, and they will always send the money monthly. But it requires discipline from the gambler to send the win money to the escrow agent because I see that when we win much money, we can become greedy as I said before.


I have that experience before lol.

I admitted that it is very hard to stop that mind sound in my head. But gladly, now I can hold myself when I win the money. Self-discipline will also be needed in any situation, whether we win or lose so that we can prevent it from the loss itself.

As long as we can have discipline, we don't need the escrow to handle our money because we can take responsibility for our money.

I like the strategy that you have shared and this is good for those gamblers that can't handle their finances themselves. Those gamblers that can't control themselves anymore and the escrow will be playing an important role in that.

If you think that you need an escrow to release your funds on a weekly or monthly basis and he's going to serve as your budget holder, do it if that's what makes you think will help you improve your spending habits and controllability.

The problem with some of us is that we are so obsess in thinking that " I might win this time", I've noticed it on myself so I guess it is also happening to some of you guys, this is where I knew that I am lacking of something and that is the self discipline. This is all we need to cope up with everything especially when we are gambling every day, we'll definitely need some discipline in order to keep up. just a realtalk.

This is why we have this section and healthy discussions, let the give and take works around us. Not against to escrow agents tho.

Actually I don't think this idea will be very effective on limiting ourselves from overspending because I doubt that anyone will handover all the winnings from jackpot or whatever to others and ask them to send the money back on monthly or short time frames.If we really want to limit ourselves then we need to do it on our own and as far as I remember there are sites which lest you to lock the funds temporarily and also there are ideas available to lock your funds inside your wallet itself.

Whoops!! looks like you didn't read entirely or DIDN'T to say the least what's written on the OP. Let me quote it for you.


Escrows here may not into gambling but if their service is used I think they'll do it. I don't think the list of escrows on that thread will ruin their reputation and if I were the up into the challenge I'd hire the trusted and active user. Well, yeah as I propose it's better if we are the one who'll control our urges to gamble rather some intermediaries who meddle on our way to discipline ourselves. They might do the trick but I guess it's not for long.

I think if you really want to manage your bankroll on the long term you will have to do it by yourself without locking funds on sites and other things like that. Why? Because an addictive player will always lool to gamble or bet more. If his money is stuck somewhere, in our case, into an escrow he will borrow money from friends and pay them back when funds are released. Then again he will have no money available and fall into a bad habit of borrowing money over and over again.

Also, lots of websites this days have settings where you can set limits. But that doesn't help because there will always be a new website where you can deposit and gamble.

is there a crypto gambling site that currently offers this kind of service?

I can't imagine giving up my money to someone so that person could ration it for me in order to control how fast I lose my money to gambling.  I know it is hard for some people but If I were that person I would seek help to stop my bad gambling habits.

For other gamblers, it would be a great idea to prevent themselves from spending too much money on gambling. But if a gambler is seriously addicted to gambling, I don't think he will be able to think of doing this because he won't bother to think of managing his funds already. However, if a person is willing to change his vices, this could help.

In my case, I don't really need the escrow because I'm not really spending a lot of money in gambling. I still know how to limit and control my gambling desire. Discipline starts with ourselves as a gambler since we know the possible consequences of gambling.

I think it's not really interesting for most gamblers because we as gambler, before we enter here we already know the risk and we are matured enough to manage the risk. Discipline is a must for gamblers, but maybe this kind of service could be helpful for few but for some they wouldn't really adopt with this kind of idea.

I've known a gambling site where you can limit your loses but what you are talking here is just my first time to know it.

Interesting idea! But I am not sure if people will be interested in providing their funds to escrow to control their own willingness to gamble. Only a mature gambler would do this and when I say mature, it means the gambler has acquired the emotional control on his own gambling habits. An impulsive gambler wouldn't dare to loose control on his own funds ever.

You can connect with reputable members to provide such escrow service and do a test run to check the ground reality. Then only you will get an idea on bow things will work on large scale!

i dont think he is looking for the escrow on this forum but he is refering to the on site escrow inside the gambling site that he is playing with  . most escrows here are not even into gambling  and i feel its a hassel to hire an escrow here while you play on a different platform   . why cant you just have that all in one place  . this is risky imo because they can ran away with our money   .  i dont need it because i can just gave away my winnings to my wife which is more trustable and also works fine because he can control me  if i cant control my self

This just shows that you have good self control and that you are not addicted to gambling. I'm in the similar situation so I don't need someone who will tell me how much I can spend.
Unfortunately, some gamblers have serious issues with that and can't recgonize the signs that they might be in financial troubles because of excesive gambling. In that situation escrow agent might help.

Personally, I don't have an escrow agent to help me to manage the money that I used to gamble because so far, I can handle myself without any problem. I can stop playing gambling whenever I want because I know that in gambling, the emotion will take part, including greediness, because of winning the games. But maybe that can help other members who need help from the escrow agent or members who use too big money to gamble. Make sure you can select the recommended escrow agent to handle your money.

This is the list of escrows you can trust here in the forum: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-bitcointalks-escrow-providers-ranking-blacklist-avoid-scam-276897

Well, that's supposed to be a good concept knowingly what other gambler's reason for losing was relating to bankroll but that depends as well on the behavior of the gambler towards gambling. How about not using an escrow here but a challenge for yourself that you have to manage your bankroll, a self bankroll management? I think that will greatly enhance your self-discipline behavior towards gambling because you're not using here some middlemen.

some sites you can set limits

stake.com
mbet

and few more

I have thought of an interesting concept which can help you out to control your gambling losses and most importantly to secure your winnings in a more sensible manner.
As poker player (with decent tournament record), crypto trader and occasional dice and slot gambler for almost 5 years I can assure you that single most important thing which can help you out in the long run is bankroll management. Although BRM is a combination of different skills but keeping your calm during loses by quitting for sometime is most important skill to master as it gives you time to reflect upon what you are doing wrong which led you to become more mature player.
It is easy to loose your mind and play outside of your bank roll in the heat of the moment. To prevent this up to some extent I propose a limited gambling escrow fund held by prestigious members of this wonderful forum.
How this will work ?
So suppose you have won a big tourney in poker or concluded a big profit trade, or accidentally (I use this word knowingly) won jackpot in slots/dice. Now what you need to do is to transfer your majority of winnings to the escrow immediately (and keep your self your normal playing bankroll). Now the escrow will have to release a certain amount of fund from your deposit to you on weekly or monthly bases. This will help you to remain under your bank roll greatly because after you loose your normal bankroll you have to wait for your next payment which will take some days. By doing this you have more time to introspect which is always good.   
I urge learned members of this wonderful forum to ponder upon this and give some suggestions to improve this.
