This is funny actually, but then, it's understandable since online gambling casino are businesses after money, they possibly have a separate system that sends any promotional emails that needs to be sent, and the fact that a gambler self exclude themselve does not necessarily mean the casino the casino wants him or her to go, most especially when the user was or is a person the casino have been making good money from.

And I would personally say that, all this casinos advertising or preaching responsible gambling are just doing it to fulfill all righteousness, or should I say, abide to the rules given to them by their license authority.
Aside this, not very many casinos truly care for the state of their customers as long as the casino is making money.

Like I would say, or respond to comments like this, it very much depends on the level of addiction the player or gambler have gotten to, gambling addiction are of different levels. If the addiction is still at its early stage, it's very possible for the addict to help him or her self, but still not a bad thing to hang around a community though, as long as it doesn't cost the person much, and it's also for the greater good.

If they can realize it, they can solve the problem. But most people will not be able to see the way out and need help from others. That is why if someone is addicted to gambling, he needs help from others to find out and advise him to cure his gambling addiction.

Reducing the use of devices would be a good thing to do so that they can divert their attention from gambling games or using their devices. It's good to learn to control yourself by reducing your device use. At least they won't have to rely on their devices to avoid opening casino sites in their free time.

As long as you are willing to try to control yourself and learn to be disciplined, you can reduce your gambling activities. You also don't need to become addicted to gambling. And when you gamble, you don't want to gamble longer to win. And that will reduce the number of losses you will receive.

Yea, this whole "responsible gambling" marketing is a bunch of crap, because most of the sites are doing just the opposite. I have seen a site promoting that, but they refused to stop sending gambling promotions via email to gamblers that self-excluded from their site. 

Thank you for posting the URL, I will bookmark it and then send it to people that reach out for help on social media. Gambling addiction is not something to you can tackle on your own.. you need a support system. 

You blame the people and the government that is saddled with the responsibility to protect the people for this as the government is showing a less concerned attitude to people's welfare. If people are not wise enough to do the needful then the government should force them to do it, that is the sane arrangement. But for the selfish gains, the government is earning through tax and other means, they will turn a blind eye to it. Truly, tobacco and some other substances in the open market are bad, they are damaging and addictive, yet they give the consumers the option as an adult. The option is, however, reasonable and neutral enough, yet seeing that thing is a temptation on its own.

But when it is inexistent anyone, there is no way such people will not be letting go of it. But the government will not do that since the benefit outweighs the health of the citizens in their own dictionary.

Yes. It's about your willingness since we should be the first to help ourselves. So if the gambler is really determine to overcome the addiction, it will start by changing what he used to. This includes refraining from using any gadget that can tempt from playing again. It would be best to have an activity that can divert the attention and keep oneself busy. Having someone (or a community)to talk to is always good because that's how you can get a support, but as I have said, willingness is crucial.

Good for you if you do able to stop it midway because usually people would really be just that able to stop completely or made them that change is on the time that they had been devastated with gambling and they did really just that tolerate into those conditions that they had until they would really be seeing themselves getting broke and devastated because of too much involvement with gambling. We do know that it isnt really that bad to gamble as long that everything would really be in moderation but in the time comes that you are already that compromising your finances and at the same time with other relationship specially into  your family then this is the best time that you should quit gambling. Dont wait up for everything to get messed up.

You could actually solve out those problems of your own if you are really just that willing to quit gambling for good. It would really be just that depending into your self control
and discipline towards it.

You are indeed doing a great job with the help for gamblers and the provison for assistance to gamblers and addicts should be encouraged at a global scale rather than just an individual effort.

UNFORTUNATELY, people still write about the ills and dangers of tobacco and get more people smoking it. Ever seen "Tobacco smoking is dangerous to your health" and still get loads of people buying and smoking it while reading it off the packs.

Good that you're able to stop it before your emotions go to the worse part of being attached and addicted to gambling. Since it's a physical casino, there's like the urge or call that you should go there once you've been there.

Because not everyone can do that especially if they don't have any other endeavors on their lives and merely focusing on gambling. They're the ones that are prone to addiction as they will allot most of their times on it.

I think whoever owns those betting shops have placed it strategically to have customers like you who are clos to the university.

Going by your last statement paxmao, i also concur with that, people will rather control their gambling than quitting, i rarely hear people saying that they wanted to quit gambling, but you can always hear about some in need of how they can control the way they gamble, if we go by the option of quitting, it may not really solve the problem at hand like when we realized the need to deal with the way gamblers had been on it the wrong way and come in to help with the situation.

There are many cases where people are aware that they are addicted to gambling or other things, but still people refuse to take treatment to stop the addiction because they always use the argument that they can cure themselves and this gets worse when the person who is addicted to gambling is not happy in the real world, financial and love problems lead people to go into depression and become addicted to something and as long as you don't talk much with the addicted person for them to tell you why she is unhappy and how could she be happy and then start treating her for addiction, it would be difficult to cure an addicted person, years ago I had people I knew who became addicted, they suffered from depression

and at that time I couldn't understand why they were suffering from depression, what was their problem that led them to constantly be sad and frustrated, it was something they didn't tell me and looking back today, I see that it was too obvious to see what they had . but at that time I was too naive so I couldn't understand much, I pressured them to undergo addiction treatment, he assumed he was addicted, he underwent addiction treatment but when he left the isolation center, he returned to addiction, which It made me sad and he kept making a lot of promises that he would be able to stop this time, but he couldn't stop the addiction and as a result he went back to the isolation center to get adequate treatment to stop the addiction.

but months later, when he left the isolation center for addiction treatment, he returned to the addiction, this was frequent until the addiction killed him, by this I mean that it is not easy to cure the addiction, and you need to be a very determined person to fighting is having the will to win and being the type of person who doesn't give up on themselves, even when things don't seem to be going well and it is necessary for the person to remain very firm in the fight they are having.

Thats true. I have amazing experience with something similar to this. When I was in university in Sunderland (UK), there were more william hill casinos than the houses. Lolz. Surprisingly they has casinos right on the main road that led to university. The street name was Chester Rd. As far as I remember there were 2-3 different franchises that is Betaway, William Hill, and Corral. All of them were housed with different games, whether its slots, roulette on screen, sports section, they had everything. Me and my friends visited them more often but we realised pretty soon that we are getting addicted to this a lot and we need to stop. It was not that hard to stop it as we made our focus more prompt on the studies, master projects and soon they were like invisible for us in no time. Its all about where you focus, you just need another strong addiction (a good one) to cop up with the first one.

If a gambler is decided to gamble, distance can be not an issue to him. But it adds really a point on why someone who wants to quit can go back anytime because of the location.

Well, the most important matter right now. Even if someone is too close to the location, we're even closer now through technology and internet. As long as you have the device, you can gamble anytime and anywhere and I think that's even a harder situation for most of us.

We are always reminded to do things in a controlled way. Because when we get out of touch, the situation is going to be way worse than what we could imagine.

Distance has become a moot point when it comes to most services and this includes casinos, since we no longer need to travel a few miles to gamble at our favorite casino, instead we can literally just grab our smartphone from our pocket and we will have access to almost anything that we may imagine, consequently we need to be more careful than ever on what we do online and how we do it in order to avoid an addiction to develop which could take us forever to get rid of.

It's up to those people if there's some betting shop that close to them. It's all about being responsible and the discipline that they can apply to themselves. If they can't be disciplined and they won't want it.

No matter how close or far they reside from the physical casinos, they are going to come there no matter what the situation is. This is all about themselves already and whatever is the circumstance that they're facing if they are determined to go there, they will go.

That's why we still see people that keeps on gambling even if we've giving them 100% of tips on how to stop.

I think the truth of the matter is that, gambling have been made really easy for everyone, whether you are gambling offline or online, it's pretty easy to gamble, and this is because, for those gambling offline, it's easy in the sense that, they don't have to travel far anymore as offline casinos have become a very popular and as well as a very lucrative business,  we have a lot of them around us and not far away anymore, and even a gambler lives in a remote area where casinos dont find good for their business, there are actually betting agents usually stationed on those kind or type of places, so, one doesn't really have to travel too far to gamble anymore, just walk into the betting agents shop and state what you want, and that bet will be placed for you ASAP.

And for those who gamble online, it is the most easiest this days, and this is why I personally believe that online gamblers are the most addicted when it comes to gambling, quitting is always hard as long as the gambler have a mobile device on his hands with an internet connection, and where its even harder is that, most gamblers still do other meaning and productive things online, like making money through freelancing, trading and so on, so, it is not easy for a gambler to give up his or her device and stay off the internet all in the name of trying to break free from gambling addiction.

Well, this is a matter of deciding what to do and what not to do, in particular I would say that the things that are good in Style , because to avoid an Addiction it is Necessary to do what is Necessary so that it does not happen, now onuan Internet connection, and that you have your documents well, because you can do things like being able to execute a way to do things better, for example, I have the option of being and entering a place like this, I pass my KYC and I start play, it is better to have 20usd in bitcoin to be able to have a better destination for them, I would not spend on trips or anything like that, you have it inside because it seems Reasonable to me, in online casinos there are many ways to do these things, You can do a good job if things turn out well with the casino , that is, if it is a reliable casino, if it is an authentic casino , if it is a casino that many things can be done to verify that they are trustworthy, in the Forum there is a Great list of Reviewers who do this Work , and boy is it worth it.

In this order of ideas, we are the People who can make a Difference , that is, When we are in the Presence of having very good casinos , we can have as an Example those that I Consider to be the best for me: stake.com bitcasino.io, duelbits, rollbit, roobet , among others who are very nice , reliable, who are constantly Growing , who always care about the well-being of their players, who do not get tired while with the Demands that things are always very clear in their Tos , and that is I spoke very well of such places, because things are good when they are as Transparent as possible because it is obvious that things the way they are, because they tend to be a Little more delicate, and what is interesting is that they can generate better ways to Attack problems when they arise , for that reason we must choose what works Well , it is a fact that Things like this are Better.

But if you do have the money then it wont really be that a problem on which it is really that something that you would really be definitely be able to do so since you are capable on doing on. There are
people who dont really care about on the situation no matter how tough it would be as long they could really be able to do the things on what up into their mind then it wont really be that an issue.
It is really just that there are people who are really that desperate on playing or doing things basing up into the level of addiction that they do have into their selves.
This is why it would really be that important that you should really be having that kind of responsible act or being that mindful and wary on the things that you've been
doing and not really just that impulsive making out acts without thinking about the possible things that could happen into you.

It's true but it can only work if the person gambling offline doesn't have a land-based casino or a betting shop near them and they need to travel from their place to somewhere far away to gamble which they might not always do because you wouldn't want to travel more than 20km just to gamble with $20 or something which a person wouldn't bother doing if they are gambling online since they can do it from the comfort of their home, sitting at the couch having a snack.

However, if the person has a casino or a betting shop within walking distance from where they live, it might not have that big of an effect on them and their gambling addiction because whenever they have some money, they can walk into the casino or the betting shop and gamble it away without any problems or a second thought.

Addiction is likened to madness, it is until a madman knows that he is mad that he will be healed, the same thing goes for addictions, especially in gambling. Gambling addiction is bad, but unfortunately, it takes a whole long time for this to occur to many addicted people, they would have wasted money, energy and time on it and all that they will be thinking about is betting and getting to try their luck in it. For some of these people, it's mere fun, and to this category, it might be minimal since they might be wise enough not to use big money for it. Yet, if too consistent, money would be wasted. To them, they are enjoying their hobby, but there is nothing you do too much which takes more of your time and never without a good thing to show for it that is good.

A responsible gambler must moderate things so that they will not affect their personal lives. This category is lessened in effect, yet, no one should be addicted to gambling, it is bad, and if it doesn't take money, it takes another thing, or both. However, the worst category is the ones that would believe they can make their life's fortune in gambling, but instead, wasting money repeatedly and continue to do so for they believe they can make the money eventually through it. In most cases, the money will never come, but this would have attached to their minds and it goes on like that until they eventually realize their mistakes or find help.

And that's why I said that to get rid of online gambling addiction is harder and I doubt that we could name many gamblers who got rid of online addiction but continued going to land-based casinos.


That's a good advice. Indeed, gambling addicts can't think of anything but gambling all the time. Thinking of what you really want to do in life can open your eyes and see that you are heading to addiction if you continue this way.
