That can work when you have only one account as your main account and you have most of your balance there but it does not work at all when you have only restricted yourself at only one website,you need to activate responsible gambling in every site you may like to play.I don't use the responsible gambling feature at all as I have found to not be addicted anymore,I don't spend more than 100 dollars weekly no matter what happens,win or lose I stop after that.

Sport betting screws you only when you bet irresponsibly by just chasing your loses and not thinking cold headed.

Yeah, I actually find the feature extremmely useful as ot prevents you to get out of control and immediatelly recharhe your account after a real hard bad beat. That is basically when you feel frustrated for losing hard and in the back of your mind you believe that it is perfectly possible to recover all the money  lost in a coupple of plays. Well, this is terribly wrong and this feature is perfect to help you avoid going down that road.

Responsible gambling, in my opinion, is when you are not greedy. It is very simple to win a gambling game if you are not greedy. Set up a plan, perhaps by selecting a specific odds that you will be gambling on at your leisure, and keep rolling over by accumulating the wins until you know you have had enough.

If you are still in control, I do not consider that an addiction yet. Maybe you are just a gambling enthusiast.


I am not aware of this service. What bookies or website offer this kind of service? I do not need this kind of service yet because I am still very much in control of my gambling habits. But, just in case I ever need one, I would like to know where to avail.

I do not use such services as I have learned to control my own spending on gambling and other entertainment. In my opinion, there is nothing worse than the inability to control yourself and your desires.

In fact, I do not really understand the meaning of such services if a person who has a gambling addiction can play in different casinos using both fiat money and cryptocurrencies to play. It does not take long to switch to another website and make a deposit - it would be a desire.

Maybe, we all here have gambling sites that can really be trusted and are responsible for us in losing and winning bets, in general the features don't exist for me, but I have what you said.

To be honest, I have thrown away several online gambling sites, now I only have 2 online gambling sites that can be responsible for me in all respects, I have spent a lot of things there, only these gambling sites want to be responsible.

Right, as you said that addiction is not something that is planned or accepted. however, not everything happens naturally. In fact, in certain cases a person often ignores the level of risk of their activities. I mean here, in terms of all kinds of addictions.

Speaking in the context of gambling addiction, it is not uncommon for someone to be in a phase of addiction, at the same time they are not aware of it. cases like this, are very common among gamblers. even myself, initially did not realize that I was part of a gambling addict. as you said, some of us plan not to get addicted while doing activities in this industry. however, in reality such things are not as easy as we say. basically, psychologically our brain is stimulated to get pleasure which increases the excessive production of dopamine. the effect is, we often find it difficult to control ourselves.

IMO, in the end. if someone does not want to get stuck in gambling addiction, he should at least be aware of the definition of gambling, responsibility and understanding. after that, someone will be formed to have better self-control. for me, at the end of the day gambling is just part of fun entertainment without expecting to win high profits. yes, just for entertainment that won only. no more.

It needs courage and dedication to follow and apply this control strategy wholeheartedly because if not, it will only be easy for a gambling addict to go back and enjoy gambling uncontrollably. The mindset to stop betting should be firm so a player would be able to turn his back on too much betting. It only takes self-control and self-discipline after all.

Addiction is not something planned or being accepted. It occurs naturally because of the drive of a certain individual. Ofcourse everyone wants to avoid addiction but why does it seem that many people are being addicted not only to gambling but also to other activities. It happens because they are unconscious of what is happening to them. Most of us planned to play in this industry safe from being addicted into it. What becomes a problem is the reality that some players are just too hooked up with the idea that there are players who became rich in an instant which often yield to debt, which makes them more eager to continue olaying despitw of huge losses. This is where professionals enter but that would require initiative from the players once they are aware that they are being too hooked up with gambling.

This is responsible gambling and from your side you are handling it so well, so you can not address yourself as a gambling addict by any means. This is how gamblers should play. Know your limit and when to quit, whether winning or losing. Gambling should not be a do or perish type of activity. It should be fun and that is the way I see it. Anything that makes it become a burden should be cut off and ended. Not doing that immediately makes it become dangerous to mental health and financial risk.

This allows you to continue gambling at a limited phase and fund, everybody should do this from time to time to control their urge to gamble even if they are not a chronic gambler, you should establish the habit of limiting your time and fund from time to time so to avoid chasing your losses, habits, and mindset is powerful to help you avoid becoming a gambling addict.

You are truthful to yourself that is why you are handling it and it is not ruining your life. Addictions are harder to control for those who do not accept that they are really addicted to something.

Features like Responsible gambling are designed to help and so far, it is helping you, means it can also help someone, which is why I would like to ask you on which account did you activate the responsible gambling feature? Was it on your bank account, or your gambling account? If it is a gambling account, is it a common feature with all online gambling platform?

this responsible gambling feature is very helpful to prevent those who want to deposit money into their account after losing in a row .. this of course will help players to be able to control their money and prevent them from spending too much of their money .. this feature itself has started to be implemented at several online casinos in Australia and is very effective in preventing players from using too much of their money in games

I do not use such feature because I believe in myself that I can still control my gambling habit although sometime I was out of control but I will always set my own limit that wont affect my financial life.
In other words, I have my own gambling budget on how much to lose in a month for several gambling session.
There were few times when I lost all my budget in just few gambling sessions even one gambling session only.
What I did when I lost all my monthly gambling budget, I forced myself to stay away from gambling for a whole month or more.
I realize that it is not easy but I have to do it so it wont be worst.

I haven't encounter responsible gambling feature just yet but from the name itself, it sounds like it's needed to be implemented in most casinos for players who are addicted to be of assistance. I don't know how it works, but I assume it is intended for a controlled pacing of placing gambling bets after several losses or winnings.

It's good to know that there are still people who are addicted in gambling that are self-aware and are doing something about their addiction wholeheartedly so they could get better. Overcoming addiction is never easy. If it were, there would be no rehabilitation centers intended for it. Hopefully, you'll overcome it at your own pacing and start to gamble responsibly and moderately if ever you recover and decide to try to gamble again.

Not all gamblers knows this and many who knows this feature prefer to ignore this, they don't want to be limited when gambling they hate when they are limited because they still believe that they can regain what they've loss, which is really false hope those who spend much time and with huge bankrol willnot lije this feature, this feature are for those who suffered big losses and try to reform himself slowly.
Every reputable casinos have this feature for compliance because they promote playing on casinos as for entertainment purposes only, they don't want their platform to be the cause of one's person losing everything.

I tried talking about this responsible gambling feature but haven't gotten something tangible maybe I guess I wasn't following the thread properly my bad.
I haven't seen anyone accepted to be an addicted gambler not even myself and most times we think we're conscious nof the things we're doing but at the end, we loss money and blow up accounts and just from what you said in the second paragraph, wit all due respect senior, I think it's as a result of greed and most people forget that every win is a win and not necessarily making all the money at a time.
I haven't used the responsible gambling feature but I think it's a really nice feature.

I could read comments from some people claiming that they are addicted to gambling, I have to say that those people who are claiming that they are addicted to gambling need to try to talk to their family and then look for a doctor to make an appointment and the doctor will say if the person is addicted to gambling and what the treatment will be to cure this addiction, people cannot be convinced that this addiction can be cured without the help of a doctor

in the beginning, the person can even convince himself that he is in control, that it will not get worse and that he can cure it without the help of a doctor, but the person is fooling himself, the person can take some time: tell himself that he will stop playing for a few months and see if you can stop gambling for a few months and if the person is not able to stop gambling for a few months then the person has no control over the addiction

it's no use for the person to be fooling himself that he has an addiction but that he doesn't invest a lot of money and for that reason the addiction is controlled or else because he put in some kind of "responsible gambling" so everything is resolved, this is not the long term solution and it is not even a short-term solution, the short- and long-term solution is to consult a doctor and start treatment and avoid gambling. in my country today there was news that an employee of a company took 15000$ from his boss and bet everything on the world cup games and lost everything, this employee reached the point of reaching that level and why he became a gambling addict

You can still control yourself while gambling, which is good and we rarely find other gamblers. On average, gambling enthusiasts will be able to stop playing or betting when the money in the casino wallet or all has run out.
It would be very difficult to be able to do that, especially for someone who is already addicted, whether they win or lose, they will keep playing until there's really nothing.
But I really appreciate your opinion.

You are very fortunate to acknowledge that you have a problem and that was why you got the solution. Most gamblers that are highly addicted to gambling would never agree that they are having gambling problems. Setting the responsible gambling option is a very potent means of reducing or controlling gambling addiction because it has the capacity to guide your actions to ensure that you don't lose control.

But this control strategy might not work for some addicts because they see gambling as a major source of income and are always desperate to recover their losses. It is better to abide by the rules of gambling to prevent gambling addiction because it might be very costly or difficult to cure or control
