Well, few sites like these, bookmakers, casinos, and also in some brokers because things can get difficult, however, the behavior that they detected and saw that was characteristic of a person with possible addiction, this is very good that we organized it. has detected the behavior, because that means that they have very good ethics, not only in these cases, there are casinos that also have this system, but few are those that protect their clients, in fact that is good because it is a protection measure very good and in fact, any platform that does that is because it is very good and should be valued, also I think it is very good that you have shared it so that others are aware of the dangers of addiction because many people believe that this is not a problem, which can be carried out just like that as if nothing had happened, and no, that can lead to many bad things, consequently if a platform can warn a player about it, it is something dignified and honest.
Now when we start to think, when we play in casinos that very few casinos do, if all the casinos had the decency to tell the players that they have to stop and do something else because they have or "because a start to their life is happening." addiction to the game because things would be very different, because things can be widely taken as good, and thus avoid many bad times for the players, and obviously for their families, those who have their families, but this would be good if they implemented it, both in the casinos as in exchanges, but of course that is something difficult to determine because if there is a whale player who places bets and that comes out, then he will be annoyed, then I think that the algorithm that detects these things must be very careful, I also think that they must take into consideration the amount of money that the player deposits, let them see that he is a player who is wealthy all the time, I think they also take these things into consideration.
Topic: Responsible Sports Betting Shop Operations (Read 350 times)
I appreciate how they look at the welfare of their client as they are not just thinking about money to get from gamblers but also, somewhat look at the thing that they could help to prevent addiction. It was seldom to hear such a scenario but that was absolutely the right thing to do. However, in a case like this I know for sure that many casino owners never see it righteous act, greedy owners will take on every opportunity and love to see gamblers become addicted. But that casino that you have mentioned OP was too different and he is fair.
There might be a few bookies who would do that, but it isn't ideal for many. The issue at hand is that bookies or sports betting agents are aiming for higher profitability. This implies that the more bets they attract, the more money they stand to gain. In my opinion, the phrase "gamble responsibly" should be sufficient to caution bettors, and if they choose to disregard it, the consequences are theirs to bear.
Well I have not seen such myself where a casino operator will advise or stop a gambler from betting because of addiction. Anyway, such sympathy display can maybe happen in an offline gambling house like op shared if at all it will happen because the owner of the gambling house shares a family relationship with the gambler. And online casino can only warn gamblers on the risk in there terms and conditions but will not be able to stop them from placing another bet because there is no limit to the times you will bet.. It is commendable and rare to see this kind of reasonable display of understanding.
Never underestimate the power of an a conversation; it may not be as useful as you think but it has the capacity to completely alter a circumstance. We should always attempt to help others, no matter how small the help may appear, since you never know how much of an influence it may have on them. Some advise has the power to change a person's life.
This is what that I am talking about too, but I was only relating it to online gamblers. That the best is self discipline and to be gambling responsibly because most people today are online gamblers which can not see the kind of help that person that went to betting shop to bet saw. 
These simple causal games can be now a part of the routine or a habit to just kill time while waiting and get entertained, this can be an expensive habit because if you can't remove this you find it every time you have the same situation you are seeking what's the thing lacks to your casual you are doing.
Only giving an insight to them of being addicted is enough but taking them too much to prevent seems like you are taking away your players or clients.
that is a great person. to take care of his clients, if gambling really consumes a lot of his assets, surely after he leaves gambling he will be able to more easily maintain his assets. in business honesty and responsibility is number one. if we can't take care of it it's better to discourage the intention to build a business.

If you were in the narrator's shoes, would you take a break from gambling despite knowing that you are not addicted, or would you patronize another betting shop?
Considering the politeness of the betting shop manager in the manner he/she must have approach me with the discussion of his suspicion of addiction I think I will adhere and take a break of a day or two even if I know am not addicted. It could be that from my point of reasoning on how I perceive myself I may be claiming to be in control but from a professional point of view am gradually heading for addiction without knowing. Now this action is from a physical betting shop, howbeit that online gambling sites and casinos can toll same path in addressing their clients with notification messages reminding them about tendency or suspicion of addiction if such client have had to gamble expressly as many times as possible within a day or week. Such messages could help a few gamblers back on track to consider and pause for the meantime. I said a few because not all will heed to the message.
This is how every sports betting shop should operate, in my own opinion. It's more about the mental well-being of the client than about the revenue accrued by the business. The screenshot I am going to share is from a Twitter user who shared his story of how a betting shop operator stopped him from betting after he noticed that he was placing bets on games every day for one week. The bet operator suspected that he was addicted to gambling. This is very commendable. from the bet operator who is educated on the symptoms of gambling addiction. If you were in the narrator's shoes, would you take a break from gambling despite knowing that you are not addicted, or would you patronize another betting shop?
This story looks strange to me because the prayer of every betting shop is to have more customers who will keep betting. Many of them don't care about the effect of gambling on their customers so this attitude by the manager of the net shop shows that they care about the physical and mental health of their clients. But this action might not be proper if the gamer is gambling within his financial resources. This is because his regularity might not mean that he is addicted, after all, he might not be over-gambling.
Approaching a gambler with such an idea might not also be improper especially if you don't know the person's financial capacity. Restricting gamblers from over gambling is good but it should be done with caution because it can lead to embarrassment of clients and loss of revenue. This approach might be beneficial if after much investigation it is certain that a client is suffering from gambling addiction.
But if the gambler feels all is still well, he might ask the sports betting shop to check his weekly betting amounts. If the sports betting shop finds no signs that the person is addicted to gambling, the sports betting shop may allow the person to gamble.
But from that story, it's a responsibility that a sports betting shop or casino could pass on to its customers. This is to prevent anyone addicted to gambling from playing gambling in the shop, which will attract the attention of the regulators to check the betting shop. Well, it all comes down to how the respective sports betting shop or casino treats all their customers.
This is how every sports betting shop should operate, in my own opinion. It's more about the mental well-being of the client than about the revenue accrued by the business.

Commendable!!!
And I believe that every betting site should have similar control, whether it is something predetermined by the site itself or a manual "inspection" by a casino operator.
Every casino always has someone keeping an eye on the bets in order to catch a strange operation that could be the result of a scam/fraud against the site, why couldn't that same person also detect a player's addiction and alert him?
Or else, if this is to increase the cost, the site could at least have a tool in which the player himself could stipulate his daily/weekly values of bets or maximum losses, being able to block new activities, force him to take a break or then just issue an alert.
I'm sure a lot of players would love to have something like this, and it could increase players' return rate.

While there's the self exclusion for the majority of the casinos today but being approached like that will make you remember to be at least moderate to yourself when you're not feeling it anymore.
And being stopped or stopping depends on the gambler himself if he really wants to do that. But if you're looking for someone to remind or stop you, then you truly need a help.
It should be you that must notice your limits when you're not doing fine anymore and it turns out becoming an addiction.

I would agree. While it's not the casino's nor the bookie's responsibility to handle your gambling behavior, helping customers out when they sense something is awry is good as it ensures that everyone is healthily playing and is not succumbing to gambling addiction or anything. The hard part about it is how you would implement such on a gambling site or an online sportsbook. It's just exceptionally hard to ensure that people aren't sneaking up on you since it's so easy to create accounts now as well as to perform KYC. You can pretty much just borrow a mate's ID and you're set to go on your merry way. In the future more stricter systems could be implemented but until then we have no choice but to take gambling addiction measures into our own hands.
^ This makes sense which I also agree with, because for me in my own opinion. In the context of online gambling, implementing such measures becomes more challenging due to the relative anonymity and ease of creating accounts. As you mentioned, the KYC processes are important, but they can still be circumvented by determined individuals. It is indeed a complex issue to strike the right balance between privacy, convenience, and responsible gambling oversight.
However, stricter systems and technologies could potentially be developed to identify problematic gambling patterns and intervene in a more effective manner. For example, algorithms could monitor betting behavior and flag unusual or excessive activities, prompting communication with the user.

Regardless of whether the facts presented are true or not, especially the screenshots you display, I'm really not sure that the story is that simple. if so, ideally there is a more detailed or dramatic story presented, but let's just say that this story is real without design. The problem is, it doesn't stop at the sports betting shop. even the addicted gambler, he will have other ways to satisfy his cravings to gamble. there are many ways we can do it, after all the sports betting shop is definitely not just in one place or location.
Well, we're not going to talk from the business side, like you said. however, is it not wrong if the betting shop operator stops an activity that a person likes. even according to the screenshot, and as you say. the question is, can we be said to be addicts in just one week doing a gambling session. for me it's too short, unless we do it intensely over a long period of time. In this story, this guy is only betting £10 but consistently. he didn't even fold his bets, let's just say he loses every day.
I honestly can't answer your question, because I've never experienced it. I can't give any assumptions or judgments regarding this sports betting shop operator, but if it's a rule imposed by the betting shop management, what he's doing is right. but if it's the other way around, it means that the operator of this betting shop has abused authority beyond its capacity.
Imagine, stopping you from placing your bet? I don’t know if this is the right approach but its a better prevention than to say sorry later on. If that manager is sensing something bad with your approach in gambling then its better for him to talk to you and give a good reason for you not to gamble again, because seriously there’s still a way for you to gamble if you wanted to. Playing for a week is not an addiction for me, that manager maybe saw it differently.
This incident happened as if in a land casino and it was only natural that the operator stopped it and all this happened because the operator knows what it feels like to lose a lot of money when you lose a bet and he doesn't want the person to get addicted to gambling and spend a lot of money just to bet.
Even though the operator runs the business to make money, he still has a sense of humanity and that is why the operator acts according to his compassionate heart towards his customers.
This is the first time I've ever heard of a betting place operator reminding or telling someone to stop betting.

Actually, This kind of instances can be easily monitored through online casino because every bet from user account is recorded on your name while betting shop typically let players bet using slip without any personal information needed. Only payment is required to get your official slip and you are good to go. I believe the manager is just doing his job properly by monitoring all the players placing bet on his shop or only few players play in their that's why he monitor the guy but online casino can do better if they really want too.
I think this is one of the best act I have come across concerning a betting shop but I don't think the story is complete because we don't know if the bettor was winning everyday or he was losing his money everyday. Well I know that it is very difficult to outshine betting shops be it online or offline because they will always attract you to play thinking you will win easily but at the end you may never get to win. Probably they understood that the bettor was gradually becoming addicted to gambling since he stops over everyday to play hoping to win some day or the amount that was used for the betting is more than the said amount that's why they have to stop the bettor so he won't go broke or bankrupt.
I wish other betting shops can emulate from this kind gesture of the manager to discourage bettors from becoming addicted to gambling but then what about those bettors that are addicted online gamblers how do you stop them or regulate their gambling activities so they reduce gambling?

Very interesting....
I CAN'T say my next move in a situation like this especially since I don't gamble, let alone getting addicted; but I feel any sensible person shoulda taken precautions and left without much inquisitions...
Well, I've seen serveral situations In local casinos where a gambler begins to aggravate for the fact that he was denied a trail on a particular virtual round... This is usually caused by excessive losses and it's basically done in a bid to help the gambler reserve his own funds,.. but sadly, mostimes, it's taken the other way.

For someone who often plays gambling, they will move to another betting shop that still allows them to place bets. Regardless of whether they have experienced gambling addiction or not, they still want to place bets elsewhere so they can channel their desires. Placing bets every day for one week does not mean they have become addicted to gambling because they might only place bets once a week.
But the actions of the betting shop operators set a good example because they keep an eye on all the players and give a warning to the gambler if he has gambled every day for one week. This can provide awareness for gamblers that he must really limit his gambling. Betting shop operators don't want to be blamed for allowing people to gamble for one week and because of that, they are giving their gamblers that warning.

Of course that's a good thing that the betting shop does, unfortunately, there won't be many betting shops that do this, although I think playing regularly for one week can't mean that the customer is heading for addiction, especially in the tweet he only bet 10 euros, not a big value for money in Europe because that kind of money is nothing.
I think there are other things that make the betting shop prohibit him from playing but just use that reason to be easily accepted by his customers, because the betting shop will focus on business profits and stop their customers from playing just because being consistent in one week of betting will make it difficult for them to get loyal customers.
If I am not addicted and it is still possible to bet at other betting shops then switching betting shops will be the choice.
