On the other hand what you said could be true that although the casino's goal is quite humane by providing the best service with the aim of reducing the level of addiction for the community but it is not wrong if we put a little suspicion about whether there is no other goal that is targeted and focused on by the casino itself. Hmm yes maybe I can also say that this is a new marketing style that will indirectly attract more customers because they feel they will stay safe with such services.

I don't think that the main purpose of casinos doing this is to increase revenue, because obviously the services they provide are to reduce the level of addiction which means that with the reduced interest of gamblers to gamble then obviously in terms of casino revenue will also definitely decrease, but what is more certain is that I think this is a new marketing style to increase the popularity of the casino itself to be more trusted in the eyes of the public.

yup, that gambler needs to give a strong push for control by himself first. Then, support from others afterward. It's also useless if support comes from close people, friends or family. If he still wants to continue betting and forgets about risk management. If it happens, then be prepared to face bad things that can destroy his life. When they experience this, then any advice will no longer be able to help them and they have to really try on their own.

The governments don't usually care on how we handle gamble on a daily basis. They do provide restrictions and other preventive measures just because of the provided regulations but the truth is it's all about money they collect from gambling establishments and sites.

That's right, in fact we agree with what you said. each government has its own regulations adapted to the laws and jurisdiction of that country. in the current era, many countries have legalized gambling which is considered a type of entertainment. there are also those that limit it, like Japan for example. even then, I only read based on articles presented by the community in several threads.  Whether it's true or not, I can't confirm it because I don't live in that country. there are also countries that actually prohibit gambling altogether, not without reason, because all of this has gone through a consensus mechanism and is regulated by applicable law. nevertheless, as you said. that's why we agree with what you said overall, after all now we can access online casinos with many gambling sites. including crypto casinos, which have become part of our activities. so, it seems like something that is difficult for the state to do to prevent its citizens from gambling. The reason is, there are various ways we can access it.

So does the idea of ​​self-exclusion, but this feature is actually not very effective. because it will be more difficult to stop someone who is already addicted, with only the self-exclusion feature. well, the answer is as you say. If a gambler has enough rational thinking, not just dedication then addiction can be avoided even though the potential will always be there. however, if someone is already in the addiction phase, it usually requires a recovery process. The essence all comes back to each of us, especially those who like gambling like us. so it's not just about responsibility, but also requires a broad understanding of gambling. at least, that's the case for me personally.

Viewing from a different perspective, I'd say that, an online casino is different from a gambling site. The latter could be any site related to gambling, review, counseling, prediction, etc. This one stated by Lombok provides a service to reduce gambling addiction. How they're about to achieve this, I don't know, but it's quite a nice initiative. Gamblers who are addicted or newbies may need such services to help them fight addiction. Yet online services doesn't seem effective in changing the life of addicts. Physical response is very effective and fastens the healing process of addicted gamblers. The government works more with health care centers in fighting the problem of gambling. However the number of attended addiction cases keeps on increasing each day, as not all of them would visit healthcare centers to get healed. Hence, it poses a huge problem on the side of governments.

Maybe that would be why they're trying online strategies. Which isn't a great solution to the problem. I'd suggest that the government enlighten parents to pay close attention to their kid's behaviors and whenever a child begins to act strangely he should be taken to a health center for examination. Delay only makes the healing process severe and hard for the addict. Casinos can't offer such services because of their customer base and the need for money to run the business. Casinos is the best tool for the government in reducing the rate of compulsive gambling, by helping limit the rate at which a player gambles. But to keep it on a neutral mode, the gambler may have been noticed to always gamble irresponsibly before getting restricted or limited. Other than that, the responsible player can be allowed to continue playing games. The main problem would be getting the casino to comply with this decision. As it could ruin their business. Problem gambling is eating deep into society and gamblers need to avoid this like a plague. 

Or is this also some kind of new style of marketing? It could be that this could attract more people's interest in playing gambling, because they feel safe that if something happens to them, they can also use this service. And make gambling sites more responsible, in other words. Of course, this does not mean that it will have an impact on reducing visitors and site income. In fact, it can provide positive feedback for gambling sites in the future.

If there really is a gambling site that dares to do that, it means that they are not worried that their gambling site will be empty of visitors, but whatever it is, we have to appreciate the gambling site owner for providing free services to help reduce someone's gambling addiction. I know that is a good step to prevent anyone from doing so. addicted to gambling so that you can play responsibly and can also manage risks well and not play recklessly.

Rarely do I find gambling sites that are willing to support or even provide services to their users so they don't get addicted and help to cure gambling addiction with that service. but even though it looks like it was forced from what you said, it is true that they did it because of government demands and to be able to operate freely, I don't think there is any other way but to support and provide that service. 

You are right, and I think there have been a time we had a discussion on this subject matter of whether playing physical games with friends without betting any thing like money or whatever can also be likened to gambling, I was of the opinion that such games can not be said to be gambling since the players are not risking anything, they are just playing to just have fun.

But then I was still surprised to see that majority actually think or thought that such game as well is gambling, and it doesn't matter if the players are risking anything or not.

, you are completely right again, I actually did not know what to say or how to respond to the op, because his post made absolutely no sense, glad you already made known to him, and hopefully, he will learn to make better and meaningful post when creating another thread.

Did you mean self exclusion? most of reputable casinos already have this feature, so this is nothing new. Or you meant a dedicated project to help gambling addict or quit from gambling? there are many sites you can find by yourself on google.

The most important thing to quit or control yourself in gambling is yourself, not by the self exclusion or other project.

I had already commented on this in some places, but I think that talking about it here is also something useful, this issue of responsible gambling, addiction to gambling, is something that really worries society in general, and something that worries many families. but the saddest thing about all this is that we see governments being very tough on gambling because according to these governments that ban gambling, they claim that people will spend all their money on gambling, they claim that people people will become addicted and that's why the government is banning people from using credit cards in casinos and banning people from using casinos.

Therefore, casinos are left with no choice and place countries that prohibit gambling on the list of restricted countries, but it is ironic that the same countries that ban gambling allow people to consume a lot of drinks such as wine and beer and not They run campaigns like: "don't drink excessively" or they don't ban wine and beer factories and they don't talk every day about how people will become addicted to alcohol. The saddest part of all this is that the number of car accidents involving driving under the influence of alcohol has risen alarmingly,

Hundreds of people are dying every day because they drink alcohol and drive their cars and the result is car accidents, hundreds of people are dying because their livers and lungs are failing due to alcohol, and what is the government doing? ? they don't do anything. That's because they own the car factories, they own the beer factories, they own the wine factories, they own the hospitals. When more people consume alcohol, destroy cars, end up in hospitals, the more profits the owners of beer, wine, car and hospital factories will make. while these government guys don't care about gambling

I think I've read it before but I just can't quite remember where and when. The question is, did that gambling site really helps to reduce the number of people getting addicted to gambling? If yes, then it should be implemented and available in other countries too.I think it will be very helpful to everyone who really wants to have a control in their gambling habits.

I heard and once read a thread that there are gambling sites that offer services to reduce the intensity of gambling or even stop gambling. Maybe this is also a request from the local government so that the gambling site passes and can operate in that country. This may be an effort by both parties to protect consumers and citizens.

There are places on which their government would really be minding about the citizens condition and situation on which they wont really be liking on letting them to get involved with gambling.
Well, its good but majority of these places or government would really be mindful about taxes, they wont care about citizens condition as long they could be able to tax then it would really be just that fine. Well, we do know on how taxes do works and how it do really help out economic development and advancement but they should be at least having that moderation so that gambling addiction
wont really be that bad and severe on which we know that it is really that too bad if ever that happens. In overall, it would really be just that depending on a certain individual
decisions because we cant really just blame out all to the government.

Each government think difficultly. Some governments will allow gambling for generating tax for them, some governments prevent their citizens from gambling but allow for foreigners only and some governments totally restricted gambling in their countries. But no government can totally stop gambling as there are many ways for gamblers to bypass. So better to work for awareness so that a gambler can become responsible. I like the self exclusion idea and related organization who work for Gambling. This could be important initial step in helping gamblers to control their gambling. If a gambler is dedicative enough then addiction in gambling could be solve. Otherwise there's no problem with responsible gambler who just gambling for entertainment with limit

The government was spending huge time to manipulate the gambling in their country,only in some countries the government doesn’t take care of the gambling.So I think you are from such country,the government giving time and create a law to the gambling was the important factor.The gambler take responsibility for the money using in the gambling,but how you say they only loss the money in the gambling.If the gambler had a luck,he will also win and withdrew funds to their bank account.So the gamblers not get suffer all the time.

Well, do you think that the government have so much time that they deal with unfair gambling and look after the gamblers? I don't think that government gives that much importance to the gamblers. The gamblers themselves need to become responsible else they will lose their own money and no one else will suffer.

A more practical solution would be to develop a gambling organization that looks after the gambling affairs in the country and protect the gambler's interest and keep a check and balance of the casino.
However, this can be done only for the casino operating from that country.

Even the casinos are encouraging responsible gaming they in fact have it on their terms and they even have a feature where gambler can restrict their accounts by setting up a specific time.

They have to do this, for casinos to show that they are compliant with authorities, from the government, to show that they care for their people and is not only about the money they get from casinos' taxes, gambling addiction is a scourge to society so government should do everything to limit the numbers of addicted to gamblers and help those addicted to get the help they needed

They should, in fact, countries are already banning casinos if they see the data shows that they have large numbers of people addicted to gambling, and people losing their money and livelihood to gambling, the government has a big responsibility to its people to see to it that its people are taken care and there are no establishment that will corrupt its people, a regime that cannot protect its people from corruption, will be replaced by its citizen who wants protection from addiction.

Casinos have a responsibility to society to make sure that none of their players are turning into compulsive gamblers or minors playing on their platform, they need to establish parameters to make sure that it will not happen.

The government only encourages games with sports value not not to encourage gambling games. The government does not want to disize gambling with its policies.

The game driven by the government can be made as a form of gambling by players or bettors. It depends entirely on each individual who uses it.
Every individual only plays games without betting. The closest example of the PUBG game, Mobile Legend. Some only play and some play as well as gambling.

Having good self-control and responsibility when gambling can prevent us from becoming addicted to gambling because we will be careful when gambling. We also always control the use of money for gambling so that we don't use all the money we deposit for gambling.

We must be able to control ourselves when gambling and not gamble excessively. It can be dangerous for us because when we lose self-control, we can spend all the money. If this happens continuously due to a lack of self-control, it can have an impact on our psychology, which will also affect our relationships with the people around us.
