I agree that gamblers should set their limit. I mean the time and bankroll limit. I also accept that gamblers should avoid chasing losses and also that they should see gambling just as entertainment and not a means of making money. But I do not agree that they should avoid alcohol as long as they are not drunk. I am not talking about drugs. Drugs are not good thing at all.

I need to remind you that not all alcoholic drinks are the same, it's better to avoid it or just know the particular drink you are taking. There are some alcoholic drinks that can make you drunk just from taking a sip, this is the reason why it's wise to avoid alcohol when gambling especially if you are the type of person that isn't familiar with such drinks. Everyone should have a standard that cannot be compromised no matter what, there are also people that can get intoxicated just by having a little taste of alcohol that's not even supposed to get them drunk, everyone's systems are built differently, you just have to know what is good and bad for you.

I like to share a little bit of my own experience as an ex gambler, currently healing and doing my best to stay away from gambling the way I use to do before. Definitely all the points you mentioned are very important, but I chose to focus more on the 4th one since I find it really sensitive and the main issue in my previous gambling journey, suffering from significant losses, not just financially.
Substances and anything that can drown your brain or changes the way you are thinking straight, it can really worsen your addiction and gives you the fastest way for addiction. In my case, when I use to be addicted to these stuff, I wasn’t aware of how much time I spent on gambling alone, or even to think that what I was doing is wrong.

I believe that anyone can decide to stop gambling in a way or another, except if he is dealing with multiple addictions, that person in that case wouldn’t take his excessive actions as seriously or think he is doing something wrong in first place.

Responsible gambling does exist, I wouldn’t say the opposite just because I wasn’t able to control myself. However, many people that I know managed to keep their activity going well in gambling without any issues, following strict rules and enjoying that short time of playing.
Man, that's double expense if you are gambling and doing drugs or alcohol too. I mean, imagine how much money you will need every day just to get through it. I cannot do that. But, I am glad that you are healing, that is good. It's not every day that we will see a person being honest with himself and strangers because ego can block those things and they will just keep it for themselves.
Sharing is good, you need to do that more often because that is also one way to heal. You need to open up and be with people who will understand you so that this recovery can be completed without going back to it.
That is why people suggest a gambling budget so that the addicted gambler can manage his funds and not to play extravagantly. Even the gambler is involved in all those things, he can still be a responsible gambler but minimizing it. Some people that doing all that are not gamblers. Though all are bad habits which anyone who is doing them should be restrain from them.
According to a popular saying in my area, a problem shared is a problem solved. So as he shared his problem, he is declining from it gradually.
I'm wondering how you believe a person under hard substance even to minimal consumption cannot extravagantly spend his money into gambling activities, people who enjoy this substance don't stop until they experience full activeness of what they take and this put them in an unconscious state where everything they do seems right. High on substance added to gambling is the easy to way lose everything, until everything goes down the person addicted or not cannot tell himself when to stop and when not to.

It's a double problem for anyone having that trouble, quitting both add the same time is the only way out, can't stop one and leave the other, if not there will  be urge to return gambling when  on substance or either way still lavish on gambling in replacement of quitting substance.

The drugs, alcohol kick in as soon as the sorrow hits. It becomes an endless cycle, but if the prime motive was having fun and not trying to double your income to zero then that part would not come in.

But I guess most gambler are visiting casinos to make money which is why the addiction is so huge. Those small wins once a while fuel the need to play more and that keep the player in trying to repeat the same thing over and over and losing again.

Asking a gambler to become responsible is tough, it takes time but is possible.
Yes, it is indeed a cycle that once started, it becomes difficult to stop later, gamblers first go to gamble, and get small wins, and over time their needs and greed increase, and they want to win bigger, and because of their greed for this bigger win, they keep gambling more and lose more.
And thus at one stage they start to become destitute, and thus they start taking drugs, and from being an addicted gambler they become a drug addict.
This is why it is important to have limits in gambling, if a gambler starts gambling uncontrollably, it will first plunge him into a deep addiction to gambling, and gradually make him completely destitute, which will turn his beautiful future into absolute hell.
So one should always gamble responsibly and in a self-controlled manner, and not gamble to be for achive success, for success do good deeds, never look for shortcuts to get success, success is achieved through honest work, and gambling should be kept only as entertainment.
If gambling is seen as a form of entertainment only and gamblers adhere to its limitations properly, so the chances of falling into this vicious cycle are greatly reduced.

^

As many times as I've gambled in land-based casinos, I've never met anyone addicted to drugs (except marijuana smokers). Or they were very skillful in hiding. I met mostly drunken gamblers who in an alcoholic frenzy lost more than they could afford to lose and began to behave indecently. In general, it seems to me that drugs, alcohol and gambling are incompatible things. In my understanding it's like mixing tea and coffee and drinking it.

That is a case of multiple addiction,  it's even worse than the case of an addicted gambler alone as such person is definitely going  to get bankrupt at some point,  it must have been a really difficult phase for this person even if he's been able to get pass it currently,  what will be important now is how to stay awa from such happening again because if it happens again it's definitely going to be probably worse than the first one that he has managed to get pass.

I want to talk about the last point, because I find it interesting and unusual.
I have never combined alcohol and gambling, but I think it is an incredibly dangerous mixture.

Yes, this is an activity that will be fun and bright in sensations, but definitely if someone does not know the measure in alcohol, then it is better for him not to do it. Because such a person will wake up the next morning with a zero balance. Plus, you should not play logical gambling, but only those types where there is luck and only it, like slots.

In my opinion, it is better to even stay off gambling when you are taken or when you have taken so much alcohol because it can make you want to gamble impulsively, you can make insensible decision and can even go against your decision of gambling with just spare cash. If you had want to bet with $20, you could decide to add more money to your account after you have lose your previous balance.

I think this is also attributed to other decisions aside gambling, alcohol has a way of motivating someone to do extraordinary things which may not be of good benefit to the person so it is advisable not to think of gambling when one is having that alcoholic feeling because certain things may happen out of the control of the gambler which he may later regret when he finally gets himself after taking the alcohol. As it is advised not to drink and drive, same thing is also applicable to gambling, do not gambling when taking alcohol cause losing money more than intended will definitely happen at the end of the day.

Yes, this is applicable in every other aspects of life, sometimes when you are under the influence, you can not make good decisions, you will think you are doing the right thing but you will realize that you were doing the wrong thing or that you have did the wrong thing when you were being held under the influence of alcohol or any substance that can make you lose your mind. You can only do that if you already know how to manage yourself during such situations or maybe if you only took a small portion of it which will not have any serious effect on you.

Just mere tiredness when gambling can lead to lose because at the moment the gambler needs to focus in order to play responsible talk more of excessive intake of alcohol which can result to drunkenness it’s obvious they don’t care else why should one gamble in this condition. Few are used to drinking while gambling perhaps they know the system very well still doesn’t mean they’ll not face loss during the process, I understand op point since it’s more better avoiding such when placing bet also gamblers love monitoring their bet I guess in such situation it’s difficult.

That's one reason but you're right that it is not the major reason for KYC. One major reason is about to combat money laundering.
So they could have records of the users that are likely doing it through their platform and they can clean it up afterwards.
It’s not uncommon that cryptocurrency users are not any welcoming of KYC, what’s the point. Giving out confidential and sensitive, security intuitive documents to people you don’t know or how they would handle it just to have access to certain services, it’s hard choice to make. Also, most of those who are cryptocurrency investors come here because of what they can’t have in the many centralized systems out there. An anonymous way of enjoying certain services.
Unfortunately, the centralized systems within the space have got to keep to regulations and by that, take certain measures to ensure they stay in business and not run into problems. Money laundering wouldn’t just implicate an individual but, would drag the site along with it. Now that’s something they can’t afford as, they’ve no part in it and as such, a way to give you up is what they need and to protect your interest in cases of theft.
It is really hard to make a choice when it's come to this. But if you have chosen that casino and you have passed on the KYC then that means that you have agreed on what they've asked you to do. We will see more of this in the nearest future that even the decentralized casinos and exchanges will start to turn away from being wholly decentralized due to governments action and implementation of their ruling.

Indeed, that discipline inside us mostly attracts our temper especially when we are getting excited with what we are seeing while playing, but if we manage to control and able to make that hard stop when we need to do it, then it's helps us to avoid getting addicted and continue to have that full control not to overexceed with our set limits.

It is known that we Should never lose Discipline , by having discipline we will be very far from a possible Addiction , that is in the person if he wants to be a truly intelligent player or not, it is well known that a responsible player has to clear that he is fighting against the house advantage and the internal complication of his game, apart from that he knows that he has to take care of his Balance , and if he is a person who is controlled from all moment, then he has to indicate that every game needs a clear analysis and that before playing he has to establish how much money he is willing to lose , so he can get as excited as he can, only when he runs out of money then that's it.


Yup, allocated budget and the time that you will spend while playing those are things that gamblers needs to discipline themselves to avoid getting addicted, if you have that set limitation and you know that you need to keep on track then the chance is slim for you to get hook and fall into addiction, while those who can't limit themselves there's a big risk that they might fall into it.

Sad to say that without discipline you'll be over-exceeding from your suppose target and your budget might increase to the point that you'll ruined all your finances and lose everything.

Taking a break from gambling when experiencing a huge loss is a good strategy to avoid addiction but it shouldn't be applied when experiencing loss only, it can be used when experiencing winning either whenever we notice we're spending much time on gaming.
I'm saying this because this affected many gamblers in the UK before the government implemented rules and regulations for casinos to always restrict players who spend too much time on gaming for some days. Therefore, I supported what you said about withdrawing the winning funds from casino
When you got severe losses and you decided to take a break, it is the way to calm yourself. Sure, you may gamble excessively and try to catch the wins if you don't take a break. It is a good decision to take a break temporarily. I think every gambler needs to calm himself if the gambler experiences something bad in gambling. If they don't do it, they may follow their emotion.

Even if there is no clear regulation about spending time in gambling, we must always limit the time to play gambling. The case of addiction is caused by no limitation of the time and funds to use in gambling. That's why it is necessary to gamble with a certain time allocation in order to avid playing gambling excessively.

I agree that even if rules and regulations is not set to limit the time gamblers spend on games, the gamblers themselves ought to set one to avoid the consequence of spending too much time on gambling. However, only a few gamblers can set this limitation, and never gamble beyond the limit.
To prevent the consequence of spending too much time on gambling is the reason why casinos operating in the UK are ordered to implement limited gaming rules.

Taking a brake after gambling for a long/short period of time is also a sign of gambling responsibly. Mostly when you were in a losing spray you need to take a brake for awhile and continue later. Remembered when I toke a brake on gamble and resume after a month, I was opportuned to win a decent amount.
Like you said, limiting the time and the resources we spend on gamble is also another means of gambling responsibly because when we don't limit ourselves and our time on gamble, we gradually becoming addicted to gamble and it will be difficult for us to manage money and the risk on gamble.
Taking a break will be needed whether you are in winning or losing position so you can calm down your minds for a while and take a deep breath so you can realize that everything you got from gambling is just for fun. You will know that gambling responsibly will help you from losing much money so you will limiting your time and money in gambling. You will not trying to pursue the winning because you can get more losses as gambling will not guarantee you to wins. Besides that, you realize that playing gambling excessively can give you the big risks and that can makes you lose big.

4. Avoid alcohol, drugs and emotion.

In other to succeed when it comes to gambling you need to avoid alcohol, drugs and emotions when trying to predict a game because these things can impair judgement.

Finally you need to ask yourself some questions frequently:
A. Is gambling affecting my relationships, work, or finances?
B. I'm I spending more money or time than I planned?
C. I'm I gambling to escape problems or stress?
D. I'm I enjoying gambling.
This question should run through our minds frequently because it will help us know what we are really doing and keep us in check.
