This can happen to those who are not the real addicted gamblers and for those addicted gamblers they don't have break, they are always to gamble whether they loss or not. As for me, I take break every time I lose a game. If the loss is not big, I would take a short break and if the loss is big, guys I took a long break to forget about the money first before coming back to the gambling field again.

This is good because you can indirectly limit and control the gambling activities that you have carried out because most of the gamblers out there still find it difficult to stop gambling when they lose and they are more likely to choose to continue playing or betting in the hope of catching up on their losses.
When you can stop easily to rest then you have become a great gambler and not all gamblers can be like you.

Moreover taking a break when you experience defeat can make you calmer easier to control your emotions and of course you can come back again in the future full of confidence.

This is a great practice as a gambler. This is highly recommended for those gamblers who are unable to stop and get addicted eventually. Chasing your loss instead of taking a break to analyze what your mistakes are is not what a responsible gambler would do. It's all about the psychology that goes on in our heads. The best way to counter this is to take a break from what is causing the issue. The moment we divert our mind from gambling, we can realize the mistakes. Because our mind won't be in a rush.
Only taking short breaks won't help totally if you don't want to get addicted to gambling. But it is a great practice. It will minimize your losses.

I fall under the category of those gamblers who take a break after losing a decent amount of money in gambling.
Mostly the breaks are for few weeks until I make a new deposit again and start gambling.
I think it is necessary to take short breaks so that we don't get addicted to gambling.
It also makes us a responsible gambler by keeping a track of our losses.

in fact, people who have been in the world of gambling for many years and who are the biggest addicts to gambling, the addiction does not happen immediately when a person creates an account at the casino, it takes months or years for a person to start becoming addicted to gambling and see that even in the case of addiction there are levels that the addict goes through, for example there is that addict who is still in the first phase where he uses money that he can only afford to lose, but he He can't stop playing, he can't say to himself: "I'm going to spend two months without playing, I'm going to spend two months without entering a casino" and keep that promise. When he says this, hours later he is already playing and only after finishing the game does he start to regret breaking that promise.

and he makes the same promise again and breaks it again, this is the addict who is in the initial stages, then we have the addict who is in the intermediate stages who has money to gamble but loses everything at the casino, then when he doesn't have money, he borrows money for other people and when he manages to have money then he pays off every loan, he tries to stop playing and not take out more loans but he can't do that, every time he takes out a loan to play and loses everything and after he pays off the loan he feels sorry, these are intermediate level addicts, they are still aware that they need to stop gambling, but unfortunately they can't and they are afraid and ashamed to tell the whole truth to their family

Then we have the serious level addict, this is the most worrying level because the person plays a lot and loses a lot, the person no longer cares about financial self-control, they sell everything they have to continue playing, they can't get money without thinking about putting it in. in gambling, at this level some misfortune always happens that leads the whole family to learn that he is addicted to gambling and this causes ugly fights in the family and the solution becomes to admit the addict to a rehabilitation clinic and this often causes that the addict doesn't understand that it's something good for him and ends up hating his family

Addiction is becoming something that we all need to talk about and explain that to the newbies especially those people that have not gained some certain experience as a gambler. Gambling had been seen as a easy medium for us to earn money using our small capital but in reality, there are people that even lost more funds that what they planned to earn from gambling.

Gambling is a very addictive activity that we need to make sure that it does not control our mindset and we are not influenced by it so that we are not going to get addicted to it. There are many things in gambling that we need to watchout for that will help us to be a better gambler in a long run.

They don't have to if there is nothing to hide in my opinion, of course as you said they are supposed to know their terms about KYC/AML policies at the time of signing up but usually 99 out of 100 people choose to ignore it and will face the consequences when it backfires at them.  Maybe some casinos may terminate the account and allow the users to withdraw the remaining funds but its a very rare occurrence so no one should hope that they will end up in that place if something goes wrong.

So the point is always to read the terms before choosing the casino and only accept if you are sure about that and never try to proxy your geolocation with VPN if you are from a restricted country.

There are some gamblers who come to know about their addiction to gambling even after a long time. There are many people who do not understand the addiction even after gambling for a long time. Gambling has negative effects mainly for those who do not understand the addiction. There are some gamblers who take a break from gambling temporarily when they lose their money and become active again after managing their money. Those who are able to understand them as addicts should share their gambling thought with someone they trust so that he can give him good suggestions to recover from his addiction.

All points mentioned by the op are all good and acceptable to me, except the one which talks about protecting ones privacy and all that..

Talked about legitimate casinos not asking for customer's private data upfront. Well; things are changing rapidly and am afraid that such is no longer the case with some reputable casinos, there are some really reputable casinos where a gambler won't be allowed to make a deposit if he or she does not verify his account by passing the kyc verification, and we all know what this means.., it means submitting your private information to the casino for verification, before you are given the opportunity to even try out the casino and see if you will like it or not.

But then, aside the above, I can say that every other points made by the op are really good and interesting points.

Yea that's what I intended to say, guess I didn't put it the right way.These days, there are a lot of scams and hackers around, making it hard to know if an email you get from your casino is real or a scam. Sometimes, you receive different emails that claim to be from your casino. I knew of my friend who once got an email saying there was a problem with his casino account, and he needed to click a link and enter his password to make a new one. Luckily, he knew better and decided to check his casino account directly. It turned out to be a scam. So, we need to be careful because our personal information might not be safe, especially with the Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, which can also bring risks and exposes your personal information to the internet.

Correct, at that point gamblers only have two options, to comply with the request of the casino or to ignore it and give up the money on their accounts and the account itself.

However, there is not really a scenario in which the gambler will get their way and make a withdrawal without identifying themselves, as before they even opened an account they had to agree to have read and comply with whatever is stipulated there, and as such they have no recourse they can use to refuse to do so.

True, that right is given by us players when we click confirm to agree with the terms of service of the casino.  So we have no rights to refute their request to submit ID for KYC verification.  Aside from that the government itself gives the authority  through licenses to the casinos to implement the AML checks to the users they suspected of money laundering.

Casinos have the right to ask for personal ID verification even the source of incoming funds if they feel anything suspicious regarding the account but the point is it only happens via the platform so never respond to someone who is contacting you in any other way like email or telegram are most likely impersonators. So be cautious when receiving emails because scammers are getting more creative and will make you feel exactly the same as received from the official email of the particular casino.

These way good tips and they should be taken into serious note since online crypto gambling is booming overall, especially post covid era.

Yes you are right that mate and we all know if a casino operated for how many years is good enough to play cause they already proved that they have a good services and that's the reason why they are long last in the gambling industries, And also  the reviews from gamblers who already try thier services is a must because it will be our reference if we want to play with them or not.

One should review how long a casino company has been in the market. Because a lot depends on the reputation of the casino along with the stability. When evaluating the quality of a casino, the duration of the casino plays an important role. Those who have been operating gambling for a long time will definitely play a role in providing facilities to the gamblers.

It is safest to keep your personal information to yourself. Never give your personal information to others. Moreover, there are legitimate casinos that will never ask for other people's information. KYC different because that information is kept under the control of a trusted official of the casino. If any information is stolen from there that officer will be responsible.

Limits should be set in gambling so that a gambler can avoid excessive losses. A gambler should be content with getting little there without being overly greedy. There is nothing to lose if you take it as entertainment no matter the profit or loss. A gambler can be satisfied in all aspects if he conducts the most responsible gambling.

If only people could understand this and stick to it and not go trying to earn money through gambling which is technically not possible.

Most gamblers join new casinos and platforms for the bonuses they offer, and they barely think about the risks involved which is indeed a mistake. They should evaluate the platform beforehand so that they don't get in trouble with their finances later on.

It's basically unnecessary to have multiple accounts at several different casinos, but if someone likes doing that, they can still manage to do that within the same budget if they know they won't go beyond their limits, they can simply divide the budget into all those accounts and stop when all of them get empty.

Reputation and trust is an expensive currency within the internet gambling space that every gambling company that have earned it does at all cost guide it with jealousy and alacrity avoiding taking actions that could hamper or put their repute to question, that's why it's important that gamblers make use of casinos that have earned years of good reputation in the gambling industry as it will be that you're 100% sure that you wouldn't be scammed of your large sum of deposit either with kyc excuses or other common means through which non repute scammers casinos use in denying gamblers of their money in account.

If for any reason for curiosity sake a gambler wish to try a new published online casino with little or no repute or reviews to their name, make sure to deposit a little amount of funds you can walk away from if you in the course of time get scammed. As gamblers we love trying out new casinos for new experiences but while doing so we should do it with wisdom.

And often, if an addict cannot gamble because of coercion from other people, they will look for other ways to be able to gamble, even if that means they have to gamble in secret. This is to fulfill their desire to gamble because they cannot escape gambling, so they do that. For this reason, awareness is needed that they are actually addicted to gambling and really need help to get out of their gambling addiction. This is also intended so that people around them know that they, these gambling addicts, need help to overcome their gambling addiction. And when there are people who know and can help them, they will start looking for solutions so that gambling addicts can be treated immediately with the right approach. And even though the healing process takes time, it will not be a problem because gambling addicts themselves want recovery so they will try and fight to recover from their gambling addiction.

Gambling addiction is a fairly characteristic phenomenon of the human psyche.  Like any other hobby that brings a person some kind of pleasure and pleasant pastime, it is always quite difficult to determine the very moment when, in general, a fairly harmless hobby becomes practically a disease for a person.  Usually a person himself realizes that this hobby becomes a disease later than his close people can notice.  Therefore, treatment of gambling addiction is often very  diffiicult to carry out simply because the psychology of such a gambling addict always tells him that he can easily quit gambling as soon as he wants to.  However, this is not true.  But forcibly turning off the computer or not giving money for the game only creates a precedent when the addicted player begins to struggle with difficulties.  And he begins to fight as best he can.  And this seriously complicates his life and the lives of all his loved ones.

Gamblers who are addicted to gambling must begin to realize that they are addicted to gambling so that they can think about what they should do to reduce their gambling addiction. If he can't control himself and instead gets deeper into gambling, he probably won't have the chance to reduce his gambling or even stop gambling. If they could accept the fact that they are addicted to gambling, they might be able to see that they still have a chance to reduce their gambling addiction. If he can be honest with the people around him about his problems, he may be able to get solutions from those people and can start to reduce his gambling addiction with the help of those people.
