Topic: Responsible gambling - page 9. (Read 1879 times)

This is a different feature compared to what OP is stating. Self-exclusion just disallows you to get inside the platform for a certain amount of time, and at that time-frame you are not going to receive any promotions, updates, news, or whatever that comes from the casino tempting you to login and deposit. That 'responsible gambling' feature just limits your account in a way that you will not be able to deposit anything after a certain threshold in losses or deposits in the account is reached. You can still visit the casino, you can still check what games are there and what's happening around, but you will not be able to play since you will literally not be able to deposit for a certain period of time, or until that feature cools down/resets.

It's a lot more flexible and a lot more appealing than self-exclusion wherein you will literally forbid yourself into logging in on the site. IMO self-exclusion is not the way to go; you should be able to let go of your bad habits slowly over time and not in one big dump as it may even trigger you to visit the casino once more and do even worse than before (relapse). With the feature OP is stating, it teaches you how to be a responsible gambler while still enjoying the games that you love.

This feature is indeed very helpful for addicts who can't set spending limits to bet, automatically unable to gamble if it has lost at the value that has been applied by you but only on that site not at other sites gambling. I've tried it and my addiction to gamble can't be stoped, then I play on another site with other crypto in my wallet . In the past, but now I can already be a responsible gambling.
This feature exists for all account at a specific casino, one of them daily limits for betting but all of it is set by you yourself. Unfortunately not all casinos have this feature.

Sites handle these procedures in different ways. There are sites where you can exclude your own through a built-in system for a certain duration. For example, excluding your account for 1 month or 1 year. But not all sites have this feature. That function is of course built in to protect the gambler, but on the other hand, gambling sites prefer not to do this because they will lose customers that way. I thought that from a certain angle of a gambling commission there are also rules attached to this, but that differs enormously per jurisdiction. Ultimately, a player remains responsible for his or her gambling behavior.

I also consider myself a gambling addict, but not to the point that I'm being sh*t outside my gambling activities.

Even coming from a big loss, I still know my responsibilities, as obviously, everyone should act like that. Being end up disappointed and regrettable is part of being a gambler. It's also just fine to feel sad and not in good mood after a loss because "no one" is excused from being hit by emotional feelings.

As far as my own approach is concerned, there's nothing really specific about what I do to control my bankroll. If I feel like gambling, I will just enter the scene because I do like to do it at that time. Likewise, there's also no specific time when I need to stop. It's all on me depending on my mood.

We just have to follow our own way of how to be responsible gamblers and try to keep it that way.

There a thing called "Self Exclusion"

You can set up to lock up your account from Day, Week, Month, or Permanently. If you lock the account, you're not allowed playing into the casino depends on the type Self Exclusion you choose.

No multi-account, no playing to the casino!

I don't even know what this is or how to set it up, is this some kind of AI or software built into a casino to help gamblers keep themselves under control?
Getting to know about this for the first time, I will like to know how it functions and how I can set it up, and also if it's available on every casino or is it just some major one.

Response would be appreciated.

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.

This feature is very useful to those who have chronic gambling addiction and can sometimes feel the extreme urge in going ham with their bet amounts. Luckily for me I treat gambling as if it's a part of my weekly routine and never had any extreme urge to bet beyond my set budget every week. Heck, there are even times that I forget that I need to gamble to pass time because I was busy doing something else. I have heard of casinos and gambling platforms having self-exclusion system, but not this responsible gambling feature. It would be nice if they can roll this out and give addicts a chance to enjoy the game and not destroy themselves in the process.

Just imagine someone routinely gambling just to have their fill (like me) which are sometimes experiencing the sudden urge to recoup their losses. Disabling their deposits is a good way to combat the urge, and the player would certainly not complain—although he/she will, understandably be annoyed with it—because they know they activated this feature and enrolled their accounts to it. This is better than having to forcefully have the addict 'quit' the habit in an instant IMO, and might even help the gambler reconsider their choices by enforcing this downtime unto them.


..which, unfortunately, not all crypto casinos will implement because this means lower profits for them. I think it should be a mandatory feature to all crypto casinos, or to any other online casinos/physical casinos in the world in order to not get people addicted to gambling. They can keep their business and their profits without destroying someone else's lives.

The responsible gambling feature is something that is very useful but unfortunatelly it is also something that it is difficult to finding in most of the crypto casinos out there. I remember that i have found the feature on Betcoin a few years ago. I dunno if they still have it.

As for the functionality of the feature itself, it is a feature for players that can easily lose their way after a few bad beats. It allows for players to set upmaximum deposits/monthand daily top expending, so I believe this is something that cryptocasinos should implement.

I haven't come across the responsible gambling feature not even for once and I would want to know what casino do you use and how does this feature really work ?
From the way you said@OP, I think the responsible gambling feature will be a very nice feature and a very helpful one to combact addiction in gambling and to help monitor the spending habit of a player or gambler at a time.
There are lots of things I try as much as possible to combat while gambling and one of them is chasing my loss and what I simply do when ever I begin losing so much, I just take a break and not let my losses get into my head.

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
