I never use the gambling feature responsibly because I still control myself well.
After playing for a certain time, I will immediately stop and close the browser and immediately do other things, regardless of the results I get from playing gambling.
Using the gambling feature may be the solution for you, but try to control yourself and try to stop as soon as you get a win, big or small.
It takes some time before you really get the hang of it but it's worth a try so you don't lose all the money.

This is extremely rare because most people who are addicted to gambling are unaware of their addiction and are unable to control themselves. Those who are addicted are unlikely to activate those because the platform can prevent them from playing if he goes over. By the way, is it easy to activate it? Also, how about deactivating it? Is it easy, like there is just a button? I haven't tried it since I can control myself when gambling, and I am hoping I won't get addicted.

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
It's great to hear that it worked on you though as it's rare to see gamblers use and mention that feature. I remember having to stare at the feature a few times because i've been to that point where it got unhealthy but for me, I decided to not use it as I tried imagining what would happen after everything is in place and it felt like it won't help me much at all as I have several accounts on different casinos and it's easy to go around it. So I had to look for another solution and eventually found an effective one for me to control my gambling activity.

Yeah, I agree that it is very easy to go around the responsible gambling feature if you have an account in different casinos. Thing is, I only use around 2 casinos. One for soccer betting and another one to play poker. This way, for me it becomes easy to follow the feature. But as I said, this is a feature which is not found in many crypto casinos, so you also need to have other techniques to prevent you from spending money that you cannot spend

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.

It's good that you are aware of your being a compulsive gambler and have taken a step to prevent yourself from getting worse others will just ignore it and deny that they are a compulsive gambler when they are spending more than they can, I don't have it yet it's not yet time I can still manage, I've been through a lot and my resolution to think about my losses in the past are the ones that are helping me control my urge to spend more than I can spend.
Those with bad habits of spending a lot should not be shy to have it, it will not make you a weak person by having it.
I know I am not a compulsive gambler too and I only gamble for fun, but admit it or not, there are some instances that we become out of control and just gamble whatever amount we have. So with that, I think responsible gambling feature is still a must for all gamblers since it will guide us and help us avoid unnecessary bets that will put us into more losing. Anyway, thanks OP for the info. I will surely love to hear more about it.

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.

I think many casinos don't have this feature because that'll prevent them from making money, casinos don't care if you lose all the money you have and turn an addict instead that's their wish for all their customers so they'll keep using their platforms and makings them wealthier. I haven't used the responsible gambling feature but I have personal strategy that helps me.

Firstly I only gamble with crypto currency and have a separate account where I keep funds for gambling. I use multiple platforms so I keep money on those platform just for that purpose. I don't deposit until I'm ready to use this specific platform for the week and when that money finishes I stop gambling for the week.

People lose more on poker than on sports betting. The nature of poker where you have to add more to the pot to keep the bluffs is scarier to think of because you lose already if you give up.  But if he loses more on sports then he must have put it all in which is more irresponsible for me.

Been betting on sports and just taking the safe bets through the odds given by bookmarkers made me win easily. Though  I'm not really betting huge amount but still a profitable way.

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.
The first thing and most important of all, I admire your courage in telling that. It takes a lot of guts to tell yourself and other people that you are a gambling addict. For me, it means you can still control it because you are aware of what you are doing.
Well, we have the same thing that screws us most of the time, sports betting.  Cheesy

There's such thing as "responsible gambling" in an account? I don't know that.
Because in my case, I just do it manually, I have this budget for the day and I don't go beyond it. Sometimes, I don't use the max budget so that I can have some spare if I want to chase my losses or if I just dislike the games in the line for the day.

Learn poker strategy, as well as bankroll management and psychological aspects and you won't have to worry about that. When you've been playing poker for years like me to earn money and earning it, playing poker is just another job. Well, a side hustle, because it doesn't give me nearly as much money as my main job, but it gives me a nice extra income. The bad thing is that you lose the excitement, except when you level up or something like that, but in my case it gives me constant and regular extra income.

Very early on I used them, and I think they are positive. So if you think they're good for you, well done.

A gambler cannot get back to the state he was in at the beginning of his gambling life once he becomes addicted to gambling. Many lose control and cannot calm down until the moment they loss everything. You are able to realize yourself that you are going to addicted to gambling. It is really appreciable that you are able to figure out your condition. I have also seen several gambling platforms where after repeated losses, those gambling platforms give me a notification whether you want to take a break or not. They used to give me such messages again and again. So I chose an option to control myself.

That's good to hear that you have found a way to control your gambling urge. And it is also good that certain gambling platforms have this feature.
and this is not that easy to make true , and also some site has this feature but mostly has nothing towards being responsible gamblers because why give this a chance when it will hinder your chance to earn from addicted gamblers.

Quote
The way I see it though, I think you are not really a gambling addict. I think addiction refers to an acute condition in which you cannot anymore control or stop that urge in you. In your part, you can still very much control it. That's probably not addiction, or at least not yet. Those who are already in the state of addiction already need professional intervention in order to control their urge. I guess you aren't in this situation.
exactly , we cannot call this addiction but maybe he is going to if not act this way.

we can call Him a common gambler that has ability to deny addiction .

I'll tell you one example, but very different to self-exclusion, I know that guy personally so I will share his story here. He was addicted to gambling, maybe because that time he has a good job and sort of getting bribe money from different people because he works in a government agency wherein corruption is rampant. So he become addicted that he is always in a land base casinos almost all the time every night. So what his wife do is that when he leaves at night to play, his wife will call the casinos and will tell that they shouldn't allow this person to go inside, he will describe how he looks the dress he wear etc. And it was effective as he himself tells me that the can't go to any casino because as soon as he was spotted, they immediately kick him out and so he has nowhere to play and it did really help him somewhat manage his addiction. Now he is completely free from gambling.

As long as you can control it, it is no problem. I assume you are still at a mild addiction level, not a heavy addiction.
Do you still have the ability to manage/limit your funds, right? If you still can limit it and gamble for a certain time only, you won't have a problem with your life. But if it bothers your life, you need to stop it, at least stop it temporarily until you know how to gamble properly.

By the way, all addicts earn profits sometimes but end up with huge losses. It happens because they don't know when to stop, they are always eager to get more and more. They forget that chasing profits won't work in gambling, especially on based-luck games. It is the same as targeting something impossible to achieve.

The casinos put it for compliance but if they want it their way they don't have it implemented, they just want you to spend as long as you like and as long as you want to spend money, some casinos have it others don't have I don't have it, I was advised to have it in case I lose control which I'm not, thank goodness, up to this day.

If you're the kind who sometimes loses money, it's better to play in casinos that have this, so in case you want to control your betting you can place it in your account, in gambling an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

Good to see people like OP are able to manage their addiction. Responsibility is the key. You either can gamble or you can't and these tools are there to help you. For addicted gamblers the best way would be to stop completely through self exclusion, but if that's not en option responsible gambling is probably the next best thing.
Addicted person could really neither be considered on various ways since there are ones who cant just control themselves and there are ones who are still good or still into their minds on what are the actions
that they are making on, or simply does still have the control which it is a must thing when we do speak about gambling.There's no way that we could really be able to make our lives
to be in disaster if we are really just that mindful or be careful with our spending.Doesnt matter if we are addicted as long you arent that messing up your financials
then you are still just that fine.

Based on your explanation, I can see that would be very helpful for those who are losing control of themselves and just lose consistently in gambling. Gambling responsible feature will be a huge help for them not just to avoid some inevitable losses, but also to put limit on theirselves when it comes to gambling. However, for me, seems I won’t be needing this feature this time and as long as I’ll be able manage myself, losing in gambling will always be somehow in full control.

Correct this is could self-exclusion, but I'm not sure if crypto based casino's have this features already, if not then it's better to have this kind of measures to be mandated by all crypto gambling license issuer so that it will be implemented to help reduce the gambling activities of those players who has the tendency to be addict in the future. But it's the question whether the addict can really stop their activities? What if they uses another account, or uses another gambling platform to continue and play without control? So for me, it remains unclear whether this responsible gambling or gaming is really that effective. Maybe to the OP it did help him a lot that time, but so far we don't have the numbers so again, this could be a case to case basis for me on how effective this measures is to gamblers, in my opinion.

Good to see people like OP are able to manage their addiction. Responsibility is the key. You either can gamble or you can't and these tools are there to help you. For addicted gamblers the best way would be to stop completely through self exclusion, but if that's not en option responsible gambling is probably the next best thing.

Many casinos have this option but not all of them. It's getting more popular, which is good.
I manage without having to use these, but I mainly bet on sports. Traditional fast-paced games like dice and slots are the ones that can benefit from this the most because people get into trance playing and they feel like they have to continue because next round could be a big win.

I know about it and I don't think that I need it because I've never felt the drive to get back right away, or maybe never felt it to be strong enough to deposit again after a loss.
I usually have very little money to gamble and I try to divide it so that I can kill some time playing. Say I play poker and I know I only have $100 on my account. I'll try to bet low and if I come close to running out of money, I'll prepare myself mentally for that loss and think about the things I'll do when it happens. For me it's never a way to get rich. I don't try to save up for something and I don't bet money I cannot afford to lose. Most of my bets, e.g. sports, are so low that it doesn't really matter if I win or lose. A win will boost my confidence, make me feel good throughout a day, but if I lose it's not a problem. No boost, on that day, but no feeling down either.
That is definitely a good attitude towards gambling, and I’m also doing the same thing that’s why this responsible gambling feature is no need at all. I am just an occasional gambler so I have less worries when it comes to gambling losses. And when I gamble, I usually set first enough amount to gamble so that if ever I screw them all, that won’t certainly affect me. Gambling is only meant to entertain us, and that’s why I only gamble just for fun, not typically to earn serious amonunt.
^Definitely right and that's very well said.
Just gamble for fun not serious about the amount that you will earn because gambling is meant for fun not for chasing money. People are gamble to make this opportunity for their living which is not an ideal way to treat gambling. That is why I realized that we are very lucky here in the forum as a community because we are well-oriented and have more awareness of the possible problem that we encounter in the future. We know how to manage ourselves, discipline, and put limits on gambling.

Self-exclusive is also one of them, did you things by only a word & mind you're not getting temptation to no playing on the site too? tell me by percentage and how successful is was. Even if you are reading "Responsible Gambling", you can still come back again.

Self-exclusive, I think, is a different story because the purpose of that is to slowly stop gambling.

Here in the topic, we talk about responsible gambling where we are still currently gambling but not to the point that we are turning into the worst gambler. Even gambling regularly, we remain disciplined and with a good attitude toward other things.

We really don't need to stop gambling if, on our end, we can still control it. But in case of a sudden change of behavior in which people are not aware because of too much gambling, then that's the time a serious treatment is necessary.
I think if we still want to continue gambling and just want somehow to control ourselves from not too much losing, then maybe responsible gambling feature might help. But I have not come across this feature so far, and I’m not that totally needing it since I still know how to control myself as a gambler, though I have consistent losses but for me, those are still within my self-control. But still, I would really want to know this feature so that in the future, when I see sudden changes in my gambling behavior, at least I know what to do exactly.
