Topic: Risk management and responsible gaming - page 2. (Read 1529 times)

There are still many governments that have not been able to legalize gambling, therefore if there is a government program that sets gambling betting limits for its users, the government should first be able to formalize gambling with the regulations it enforces.  However, this will encourage layers of society to gamble.  On the other hand, many people's views of gambling is more negative, it can have a bad impact on their finances and will not improve the economy.

Yes, the easy accessibility of visiting online casinos makes people move from offline casinos to online casinos and that is what makes the online gambling business increase drastically, especially during the recent pandemic. People who couldn't go to offline casinos at that time saw online casinos as a solution for them to be still able to gamble. People who previously had not seen offline casinos have become more open-minded as they often use the Internet to discover many things. Finally, they find out that there are online casinos that provide pleasure for them. This digital era helps many people find many sources they cannot find in real life.

And yes, as gamblers, we must continue to improve self-control and risk management when gambling so that we can prevent large losses. Indeed, there have been many people who have lost money from playing unlimited gambling and it was because of their own fault. We are responsible for ourselves and the money we use for gambling so we must continue to try to improve our ability to control ourselves. Only by continuing to practice self-control can we avoid the problems that will arise from gambling.

Also not all people would really be having an access to a physical casinos and even if there is, they arent that comfortable in going into such places just because they dont have much money to be spend. Now that we are on a digital era then accessibility wont really be an issue and anyone could really be able to access things on just few clicks and this is why its not really that shocking nor surprising for someone to have that kind of engagement on active manner due to easy access. We've seen that online gambling industry had boomed that much because of that. Not all would really be having the access into those physical places and this is why they would really be tending to search up for online and sees on what are those available platforms on which they could really be able to play with.

On the time that you are dealing with gambling then as a gambler then you should not forget about risks management and responsible gambling. You would definitely be having
issues on  the time that you would really be having those impulsive actions just because you cant just easily accept that you are really that losing money or simply
being defeated. This is why it would be best that you should really know on what you are doing.

The truth is, completely eradicating gambling is probably a fool's errand. The human impulse to take risks, to chase the thrill of the unknown, is deeply ingrained. Banning it only pushes it into the shadows, where it can fester and grow unchecked.

So, what's the answer? Perhaps it's not about prohibition or blind acceptance, but about finding a middle ground, a dance step that balances economic pragmatism with social responsibility. Awareness campaigns, self-exclusion programs, and responsible gambling initiatives can be the first steps in this waltz. By empowering individuals to make informed choices and providing support for those struggling with addiction, we can navigate this complex issue with more grace and less stumble.

The government asking for taxes on gamblers does not mean it will help gamblers who lose or the government will be responsible for the gambler's losses because they have already paid taxes. It was part of the regulations government taxed their citizens even though their income was from gambling. Paying taxes is society's obligation, so it is normal for the government to collect taxes.

So someone who gambles using a VPN can still gamble without needing to be afraid of regulations in their country that do not allow gambling. But even so, he still has to be able to protect himself when gambling because there is still a possibility that he will lose his responsibility in gambling, especially since he feels free to gamble using the VPN. As long as he can still take good care of himself when playing gambling, there is nothing to worry about because he will not think about gambling continuously and will also not visit gambling too often because he understands the risks of gambling. He will try to limit his use of the internet for gambling because he does not want to become addicted to gambling.

If someone can be responsible when playing gambling, he can enjoy gambling as he should and there is no desire to gamble excessively. He knows that if he exceeds his limits, he can experience many negative impacts so he will always try to limit them to prevent gambling addiction. And his goal of gambling will remain as before and nothing will change because he can still look after himself well and can also be responsible while gambling. That was enough for him to treat gambling as entertainment and that's how it should be. And if more gamblers could do it, cases of gambling addiction could decrease and people would only think of gambling as a way to get entertainment and not as a way to make money.

History has shown that when certain activities are banned, people often find creative ways to access them, especially addictive activities. In the internet era, people can use various tools and methods to bypass restrictions and access gambling sites anonymously. Addiction is a gradual process built over time that is hard to heal if someone's drowned into it. The root causes of addiction can't be addressed by prohibiting gambling.

Managing gambling behavior is personal responsibility to take control of their actions and make informed decisions about their level of engagement. Gamblers just need self-discipline that can be an effective way to maintain a healthy balance and avoid the negative consequences of excessive gambling.

The world can't ban gambling, hence some countries that don't allow gambling, maybe for the sake of their citizens' mental health, may have not done themselves a great favor. Because as you said, they'll gamble in other countries using VPN and other apps that can help hide their IP address. The government may not be able to control the problem of gamblers using the ban as a threat. They need to devise other methods and try them out. Maybe promoting the importance of gambling and removing the bad thoughts people have about gambling. A man is what he thinks. If a gambler is worried about being addicted he won't be able to escape it easily as he only thinks of addiction. Hence to be on the safe side, gamblers need to have nice thoughts about gambling and how it can help society. People think gambling has no economic importance, but it's quite very great in helping the economy of some countries in the world.

Other than that, if responsible gambling is promoted enough, players won't be getting addicted. A gambler needs to avoid spending too much time in gambling. One must understand the body system and how it may react to gambling addiction. The goal is mainly, to enjoy the habit, not having a bad memory about the gambling habit. In terms of diverting to activities that'll help the gambler avoid gambling addiction, the gambler may not be able to achieve it on his own. However, it depends on the level of the player's addiction to gambling. Those who are still a bit in control of their actions and don't feel comfortable being addicted to gambling can do it themselves and change gradually. Even though they won't stop immediately, at least it helps in building back the emotions of the gambler to stay strongly in control of his actions. That's why the gambler who doesn't notice earlier his outstanding deficiencies in gambling can have a hard time diverting his addiction to something else.

Even with this tax thing, gamblers with addiction still can't stop themselves, as they will find ways to just play in a casino, even if their only option is to loan or sell property. In this case, what can the government do? Nothing because the government already did its part. What must be done is that the gambler itself should become responsible for their gambling habit. The thing is, we can't help anyone with gambling addiction if they can't help and control themselves. The change should always start with the doer before he or she can change or before he or she can do a movement. We are only a guide and a help, but we will never be the ones who initiate a change or take on the responsibility to gamble responsibly.

Now, even if we state different opinions on how a gambler will be responsible if they don't listen and if they don't initiate a change, there will be no change.

With today's easy Internet access, people will easily find casino sites where they can continue gambling if offline casinos where they live are prohibited from operating. By gambling at online casinos, it makes them free to access casino sites anywhere outside their country and no one will know they are still gambling at online casinos. It also won't reduce their time gambling and can actually increase their gambling time because gambling at an online casino means they can gamble wherever they want.

But if someone can have good responsibility in gambling, he will not gamble too often and even though he can gamble at online casinos, he will still limit his gambling activities because he knows that gambling more often will only cause problems for him. They don't want to get into trouble just because they gamble too often so they really control their gambling game. They will also look for other activities that can help them divert their attention from gambling so that they will not become addicted to gambling.

We do know that people would really be always have those fingers that they would really be pointing out and blaming out mostly the government specially if they are experiencing those conditions on which they are the ones who had made out and this is the result on whats happening into them on which it is really just that a shameful kind of behavior. When it comes to life situations and outcomes
then everything would really vary on the decisions that you had been able to make because if its a bad choice then expect for negative outcome. There would really be several factors on which it would really be affecting out in overall results on which we should really be that versatile and able to make out adjustments on the spot to be able to avoid on certain conditions which are bound to happen.
It would be that depending into yourself on which one you would really be choosing.

Well, we should see these things from the most correct point of view, and for me the most correct thing is to see that a government should not be allowed to put its hands in the game , because they are a matter of entertainment, a government unless Whether it is a Dictator or a communist government, it should not be left or put like this, in that order of ideas we have to be very emphatic and do what can benefit us and that is that they leave and Give the Corresponding Licenses so that we can operate in a caisno, There is no other way, the people are not in agreement, it Clearly has to be made clear that it is to get money, I have seen in my own Country that things will be handled Confidentially , the government will only leave the physical casinos to get money and then give a Giant slice to the government, but obviously the high-ranking officials of governing us because they go to the casino and play in VIP mode where they close the casino and only they have the right to have fun.

This is something that happens here, in other countries I don't know what the situation will be like, but here it is a fact, I know it because I know Friends who are from the capital and work in the casinos and are like that, they normally leave the top managers of governments on weekend nights, only they can stay, the rest are taken out, it is something terrible, but it is the Only way to Survive , for these Things we have to do everything possible that when a government gets involved The thing about a casino is not to leave it, not to let them poke their noses, that's why the Licenses and everything that are assigned, because in a business, the KYC , all of that has its end , this is in the other direction of the things in the topic, maybe in countries that have more stable economies, things Are good and done in the right way, but I consider that things are like that , so when a player in Particular runs the risk of wasting a lot of Money The alarms don't go off in the casino or in governing us , they just do it and that's it , it's something Like: "It's my money and I Handle it however I want because it's mine" it's something like that.

Many countries are really taking heavy tax from gamblers and that is one of the ways they can restrict more people from gambling. They believe that when they increase the tax to be paid by gamblers for tax, they would reduce how often they gamble but that is not the case. Many gamblers do not even consider whether they would pay tax or not when they gamble. Normally as a gambler, we need to be conscious and prepared for any decisions we are taking. We need to act very fast because there are many things that happens in gambling so fast. We can make money in gamble and lose money too as fast as possible.

If ever the government will ban gambling, people who want to gamble will eventually find a way to access gambling sites and casinos. They will just be creative in accessing those without the authorities ever finding out about it. People are stubborn especially if they are really that interested and hooked up in betting and playing, they will find ways regardless. It's not as if it will really solve the problem by prohibiting people,  it could only be a band-aid solution while the dependency in addiction haven't been addressed yet.

Indeed, gambling is someone's responsibility and not anyone else's. If they don't want to suffer the consequences, then they must do themselves a favor of not spending too much time and money in it. Addiction doesn't just occur instantly, it is a bad habit built over time. So staying away and choosing yourself  and your sanity will  save you from it. Limiting the engagement by not feeding your thirst to it will prevent you from being addicted. 

Maybe they think that the government allowing gambling will make many people interested in gambling. Moreover, they can win some money from gambling, making them continue to gamble. But actually, playing gambling or staying away from gambling is each person's responsibility. The same as smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages. We already know the dangers of all of this, so we should be able to stay away from it or choose to use it but with limits.

Yes, we should know about limits and use gambling as entertainment. Otherwise, we will suffer losses because we have lost money playing gambling. And we are actually to blame because we have gambled excessively even though gambling is a pleasure that we are not obliged to do. If we gamble within limits, there would not be any problems that would happen to us.

I don't even get the idea why we came up with the discussion about the government being blame for addicted gamblers. Isn't it gambling is for entertainment only, just like when a person drink alcohol, or consume cigarrettes, they could also be addicted, but do we blame the government?

That's why there's this thing called "moderate", it should be done in everything we do as entertainment, especially if it involves risking money, because if we don't do that, we will suffer the consequences, and who's fault is that? The government or us?

The government should not be blamed entirely for citizens who become gamblers because they allow this business to operate in their country. The government only wants to get taxes from these businesses which are useful for the welfare of the people. The problem of people becoming addicted or other negative things resulting from gambling activities is a joint responsibility of the government and the casino platform. And therefore the government formed a gaming commission to regulate the gambling industry in their country and ensure that gambling remains on a safe and secure path.

If you can practice risk management well, of course, you can control your emotions. Moreover, this is gambling, where we can be influenced by what happens while we are gambling.
Someone can like to gamble, but they still have to be able to control themselves and have good risk management so that they don't lose too much.
It is indeed difficult, but by continuing to practice it, a person will definitely be able to keep himself conscious while gambling.
If a person can control his expenses, he will treat gambling as it should be and only consider it as a gambling game that provides pleasure.

The governments of many countries have a huge income from gambling, but they try to hide it in every possible way. Of course, in public they will say one thing, but in reality everything will be different. This is quite normal practice for politicians, because most of them do well to citizens only to have a good reputation, under the guise of which they act in the interests of big business. It is high time to get used to the fact that the government is really only interested in us as a commodity to make money from.

I would guess that considering how many "bad" things are allowed in a nation, I am not sure why casino was considered the worst one. I mean when you think about it, sure you could lose your money when you gamble and that could lead you to not have a good life, but also drinking and smoking can kill you and that means you literally have no life, you are dead.

So, the government basically says "these things that will kill you are fine, but this place that will take your money is not fine", that's literally all there is to the illegality of gambling and I never really found it sensible. I mean how could someone that will kill you can be free and allowed so easily, and yet something that just takes your money, that's it, is illegal?
