Well, if a certain gambler loses a lot of money in a single day, I believe it is interesting for you to stop and bet the next day, do not try to recover the money you lost, as this will possibly make you lose control and lose more money, and it is at these times that a person can fall into despair and literally lose everything he has.

Self-exclusion is really not a necessary thing to do except with the purpose of stopping gambling completely.

It's totally fine to keep gambling and if having a bad day, as you said, just take a break and come back next time.

Not that simple to do but being a responsible gambler really depends on us. We are the ones responsible for where will we end up, either good or bad gamblers.
Besides those measures a very simple thing which can be done is to get another hobby, if the only thing that a person does to entertain themselves is to gamble then as soon as they stop then they are going to keep thinking about it, however if you have many other hobbies then it does not matter if you stop gambling for a few days or even weeks, you will not suffer at all as you have a lot of other things to do and you will hardly think about gambling during that time.

I have that kind of habit too when winning big since no pain, no gain lol.

In that particular situation, I'm setting up a limit depending on how much I win.

For example, if winning $200 on a big win, either via a bonus game, buy-in, or related features, I will risk $100 to lose after that. If the risked amount got busted, regardless of what my emotion is telling me to do so, I will try to follow my set limit as possible as I can.

I'm now used to doing that.

You must try to control the gambling capital that must be used and have a profit target that must be obtained because if it's not like that it will make you lose money. Although nothing can guarantee you will always get a win, therefore you must be careful when you want to gamble.

I can relate to this kind of experience because sometimes, when I am winning too much, I often increase my bet size which is out of my norm because normally I only play with minimal bet sized.

Ultimately, a player is and remains responsible for his or her gaming behavior. Sites should perhaps monitor the situation better, but they are not participating fanatically because they are generally good customers who play a lot and also lose a lot of money with bets. It will always be literally and figuratively a game. There have also been several lawsuits from players who argued that the site should be more responsive to the player's gambling addiction. In the end, I think almost all judges have ruled that it is the responsibility of the player himself, so similar situations will also end that way.
The site are reminding their players to be mate responsible and they are doing this to protect them and free from ant law suit that might came from the losing players. Being responsible is a must, we should not gamble if you think you can’t control your emotion in gambling and stop if you are already an addict in gambling, avoid any greed and just enjoy the way you gamble, its more fun if you are responsible.

I don't think the addiction of gamblers should blame the sites for this. Sites or casino houses are businessmen and they actually want addiction like this in order to increase their profits regardless of addiction or not, the gamblers actually care too much about it, I think.
This is our own responsibility. When we have decided to gamble, the responsibility is in our hands, whether it is addiction or not, we must be responsible for the consequences.

I consider myself a gambling addict. However, unlike gambling addicts, I'm aware of my addiction and I know how to control it. What I love most is playing poker and also sports betting. The latter is the one that screws me the most. Even though, I can get some real good profits,
sometimes I get wild and end up losing all of my money.

To avoid, running after the loss, I have set up the responsible gambling in my account and it helps me a lot to control the bad beats against my will to recharge my account and ending up losing it all again.

For me this has been working for quite some time and it was a way I found to prevent me from throwing money that I need away.


Any of you guys uses the responsible gambling feature? If so, what do you think about it? Is it helpful or does it only gives you a sense of control

Looking your post, I have no doubts that responsible control is something very useful and important.

I never used this "feature", because I only make a few bets/gambling, I do it just for fun and to pass the time, and I don't consider myself an addict.

Well, if a certain gambler loses a lot of money in a single day, I believe it is interesting for you to stop and bet the next day, do not try to recover the money you lost, as this will possibly make you lose control and lose more money, and it is at these times that a person can fall into despair and literally lose everything he has.

I will say that a responsible gambling start with our kind of mindset approach to gambling, we all have different opinions and how we take gambling, but not until that mind is set right we may only see gambling as a burden or a means to fraud us especially we we are loosing, we must be able to time ourselves, caution our bets, stake appropriately, avoid taking too much risk to gamble and enjoy the beauty in gambling base upon our own level and standard and we must not do copycat because others are into it therefore we must also participate in whatsoever thing they gambles at.

The problem is that we all believe that we are responsible gamblers but as soon as we start playing, we lose control over our emotions. Slowly and steadily we do excessive gambling either because we are winning too much  (in this case we become greedy) or because we are losing too much (in this case we gamble more to recover the losses).

I can relate to this kind of experience because sometimes, when I am winning too much, I often increase my bet size which is out of my norm because normally I only play with minimal bet sized.

Responsible gambling is something that is not so easy to attain. You need to remind yourself each and every day that you will gamble while remaining within your limits.

True that this is one of the reasons why casinos have these self-exclusion features to help us with responsible gambling but it needs to be activated via contacting the customer support.  I happen to know that when you activate self-exclusion in a casino, it has 21 days duration ( maybe vary from every casino) and we cannot access any other account (if the casino allowed multiple accounts) breaching the term of self-exclusion can make our account be banned. 
I have known this because I requested an account lock when I create a new account in a casino to support someone via an affiliate system. I requested to lock the other account but the support staff mistakenly think that I am in self-exclusion.  So he sent me the conditions of the self-exclusion program.

It is a mindset, you have some money to spend on some fun and it's gambling... there's no adding more if we lose, there's no borrowing to recover what is lost, there's simply the end of the gambling session and entertainment.
But greed will always exist among gamblers. Even though they say they are able to control and be responsible, in fact they are not completely able to avoid the impact financially.

More luck next time, it's what I say to myself when I lose my deposit. It's responsible gambling, everything else is a burden that can drive you to gamble a lot more than you can afford. We win and lose in gambling all the time, there's no running away from that, but losses should never be higher than we can handle them, when that happens other problems will start knocking on your doors.
Responsible gambling has always been expected to be the best way to avoid problem gambling, but many people are not so lucky that they are more likely to not realize what they are doing. That's because the dopamine in his brain is too high.

This is the reality happening with majority of the gamblers. One out of 100 get to be lucky to recover what he/she have lost out of gambling. As said going behind the losses to make a recovery is the start towards the blowup of funds. For users who weren't able to keep them under control can atleast try to take a break. This will help the gambler realise and do the right thing than chasing the losses.
The purpose of gambling is not to recover losses and not to make profits, both of which are not the main goal of gambling and they must avoid it so they don't get addicted to gambling. The factor of expecting loss recovery will lead to higher losses, you have to use the money you can afford to lose and enjoy it only for entertainment.
Not many people see gambling as entertainment. They see gambling as a means to earn a living and make some profits.
Even those that see gambling as an entertainment, they will also feel bad when they lose.
No matter the purpose of gambling, no one is happy to lose money in any form or any means.

Your method definitely works as it limits the amount of money you put into your account. By putting a limit, this avoids and prevents any further damage in case you experience a losing streak and you want to recover your losses by gambling again.

I also employ a similar type of idea in order to at least control my gambling habits. What I do is I also designate only a handful amount of money before I visit a physical casino. Unfortunately, this only worked before as the temptation rises with the convenience of online gambling where you have the freedom to fund your account easily and remotely.

So many alternatives have been tried on this guy to make him stop, but all have proved abortive. Even if you isolate this guy in a hole, he will find his ways. He had been arrested several times, but at present, I don't know where he is.
I have even encountered traditional gamblers who until the end of their lives could never control their urge to gamble even when they were sick. He still has a way of gambling, and obviously this is very difficult to cure. Have you seen someone more likely to gamble than buy food? I think he is the person I mean.

At a severe level of addiction, this addiction is difficult to cure. Even if a person needs years to get rid of their addiction gradually, there are not many who fail in the end. It all depends on the intention and on how consistent the desire to stop is.

In essence, nothing is impossible. if someone wants to recover, especially in this case gambling addiction. the most important thing is determination, a strong will also needs the guidance of experts. what is the difference between a gambling addict and a cigarette addict, if you are addicted it is very difficult to cure and we will agree with that. but once again I will say, all of that is from the deepest heart with strong intentions and determination. so, it is possible to recover from addiction.

In the case of addiction, there is nothing different from other types of addiction. So, bottom line is like I said. in fact, it could be that we are addicts themselves, not even though we often deny it. in fact, what Op said can be input for us, especially those who experience very acute addiction. after all, the fact is that we are also still gambling. The problem is whether we can be responsible, at least for ourselves. if yes, then make gambling fun and just entertainment without targeting big wins and big capital.

If there's an option like this on the site you are playing, then you can choose to maximize that option or just focus on your own strategy.
Being responsible in gambling is a must, you should not ignore this or else you will suffer from a big stress in gambling because of losing too much money. I personally have my own ways to be more responsible, just like playing on a budget and not all the time, also I can live without gambling so technically I'm still a responsible gambler and fortunately not addicted in gambling.
The problem with getting yourself banned from a casino so that you don't play here is... you could just go to another casino. It's not a solution to get yourself banned from one place, or even a dozen place because if you want to gamble then there are hundreds of websites out there and new ones come out all the time, you can't get yourself banned from all of them, eventually there will be a new one.

However, the best thing to do would be making sure that you are not gambling irresponsibly yourself because if you can do that then you would be fine. I am in charge of my gambling and my emotions are not, which means that I can stop whenever I want and that is the best method.

I recently had to go check the responsible gambling feature and I think it's really a very nice idea and concept to help safe more losses and I think if we'll implored one wouldn't have to make more of losses.
I'm also on the opinion that people shouldn't ever chase their losses no matter how painful the  losses  could be.
One of the reasons I think that leads people into chasing of their losses is using money one can't afford to lose and when the result isn't the case with what was expected, at the end one begins to chase loses and end up blowing accounts and making regrets

I agree, one should be responsible with their actions as they gamble. But, it's not a problem if someone relies on a third party feature from the casino itself or any third party software that helps them track their gambling activities and has the feature to minimize. For me, anything that helps a gambler to be more responsible whether they're real life attitude, application software or some individual people that may help us.

If there's something or someone from any third party that can help gamblers to control or minimize addiction which I also doubt though given that equal possibilities, it's still on the side of the gambler who needs to really aim in controlling everything, such help can give a push but the willingness is always depends from the person itself to move on and make some changes.

If you can find help, then allow that help and maximize everything to help yourself.
Yes, it's on the gambler and that's why if the third party that has that feature to help control their addiction or to lessen it then that's so much better than having no progress at all. You may doubt it as it may sound really impossible but if it's really working for some of the folks in here then there's no question for me. I agree on the latter, if there's a help and that's working for you as a gambler, responsible gambling or any type of service that maximizes the help from you, then you just keep using and goin' with it.
