Topic: Some needed features of an online casino. (Read 586 times)

I think it's by law that gambling operators, i.e casinos should help gambling addicts, they have this program called 'gamble responsibly' and if they know that someone has been tagged to be a gambling addict, they have every right to refuse them entry in their vicinity, I'm talking about land based casinos here. For online, if players chooses a self-exclusion program, then at least a minimum x months will be enforce, I can't remember how long it will be, but if my memory serves me right, at least 6 months to prevent the player from their platform.

It depends on how much money you have and how much you bet. Let's suppose you have 100 million dollars with you and if you bet 1 million on a single bet, then it is considered normal but if anyone does not know that he possesses a portfolio of 100 million, they may think that he is insane risking 1M on a bet.

On the other hand, if a person has a 1000$ portfolio for gambling and he bets the whole 1000$ in one bet, then it is wrong because going all in, in a single bet is too risky and it is sort of a do or die situation, where if you lose, you will end up with no money to gamble.

The first point is okay because it is just an addition to their verification process but the rest 2 points are a spoiler.
Why would any casino site implement these features by which their business might go down.
Setting a time limit and showing a notification of their gameplay duration are signs that people will spend less time on the site.
This will directly impact their revenue and no casino site would want that to happen.
If gambling sites start caring for their users it will eventually disrupt their business.

     -   I was curious about what you mentioned that there is another casino that when asking for kyc, it is necessary to have a selfie.
What casino are you referring to anyway mate. Because it seems like I haven't tried any casino that has this policy when it comes to kyc.

But let's go back to what OP did, I think that giving notification is a good thing for online casinos to do to all their players on their gambling platform so that they are aware and know what its state is.

I think a mandatory video call is way better than just a selfie.  A gambler can provide a selfie of the owner of the ID he is submitting as long as it has the consent of the person so in short gambler can still cheat the KYC verification even with a selfi requirement by providing other people's information.


I do not think notification will prevent a gambler from being addicted, instead, I think a gambler would be annoyed of the sudden pop-up of the notification disturbing them of their game session.  The gamble must have the full knowledge of signs of addiction so that he can asses if he is undergoing one.  So I think the prevention of gambling addiction should depend on the willingness of players to avoid such incidents.  The outtside factor will have little in preventing gambling addiction and only the gambler himself can control himself and his own will can stop him from being addicted to gambling.

We have to look at his previous gambling habits. If he often gambles random amounts of money and gambles almost daily, he may have a seed addiction to gambling that he is unaware of. But regardless of the amount of money he uses, as long as he gambles continuously and without stopping, it can cause him to become addicted to gambling or even addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction arises because we cannot focus on other things, so we only fixate on gambling.

If the person using big money is our friend, we can tell him that he is close to or already has a gambling addiction, so if he hasn't developed a gambling addiction, he can stop it before it's too late. And we, as his friends, can also try to help him by accompanying him in creating a new habit that will divert his mind from thinking about gambling.

When we are talking about some added features needed for a casino to add to their website, I don't think it has to be centralized on making the KYC requirements get more worst than before for the gamblers by adding a selfie requirements to it, they can also improve their own network, adjust their system and serve the gamblers right and more better than taking unnecessary steps that may discouraged gamblers away from using their casino

It appears that most gambling websites nowadays do not require users to go through a Know Your Customer (KYC) process during registration. This convenience is favored by individuals who wish to protect their personal data. In some cases, users prefer gambling platforms that do not impose mandatory KYC requirements upon registration.

However, there is a small fraction of gambling providers, such as Lucky block , that do implement KYC systems. As I mentioned earlier, one of the advantages of online gambling is the ability to maintain anonymity. It's not surprising that underage individuals can access gambling websites without needing any documents to play games.

It has been implemented by many casinos IMO, most casinos has KYC leveling system already and take a selfie or even video record must be in the one of the level.


No casinos will do these, casinos are designed as business where the owner want to make money from the business.
If they do limit of playing for players, means that it will affect their income.
I know a 3rd party providers with such notification feature, but does it effective for players? I dont thin so.

Seriously have seen different things that have been done by addicted gambler, and am always feeling bad, have heard about a woman forgetting her child inside a car and went to visit a casino house and the child died in the car, how I wish their is anything that can be done to stop gambling addiction but for now I don’t think their is any way. Gambling have been very easy that everyone can gamble at any where at any time, just with the help of their phone and internet connection. But the funniest part is that some addicted gamblers don’t know they are addicted.

Do you think this can really stop addicted gambler from gambling? I don’t really think so, addicted gambler will still do everything possible to pass the kyc, after using their parents ID card, they will still ask them to take a selfie and some parents won’t know they are activating their gambling account. Not every gambling site’s will have to implement kyc, not everyone likes to expose their identity, so some gambling site won’t make kyc mandatory.

When addicted gambler get notified about their playing time or if they show them how long they have been playing, addicted gambler will keep on saying am going to stop in the next few minutes but they won’t stop, until they finish everything they are having before they will have to stop. Gambling addiction is not easy to stop they way you think.

i understand what you want to say here but if you think that all gambling business owners are only concerned with money then you are a little wrong, the gambling business has strict rules, therefore they actually have full obligations to every gambler who plays on their site.  the slogan of gambling responsibility is actually one of the ways for the government and also gambling business owners to reduce the level of gambling addicts that occur in many areas, indirectly, i support that the government and gambling business owners immediately have the most effective features or methods to cover the possibility of gamblers in minors playing on their site.

Honestly this features if adopted could to a large extend limit the increase numbers of  children that are now secretly gambling through the use of their parents ID without the consent of their parents or guidance. The gambling sites can on their own block out those that still want  to manipulate the registration process through impersonation with the use of a clear selfie whose face must match with that of the ID presented. By this adoption children will be discouraged to gamble not until they come of age.

I wonder if gambling sites would give an open am to the second and third features. And there are other group of gamblers that may see these features are deprivative of their fun moment , cause it could be at the peak of their fun and that's when they're notified of an impending one time limit left of play. You know that feel of being asked to go home when the party is just getting started 

I doubt that most gambling platforms will accept this, considering that these gambling platforms also need a lot of customers to be able to make a profit and for their platform to continue to run. However, some gambling platforms have also paid attention to this problem of gambling addiction, and they have taken several steps to prevent their users from playing longer, such as creating a self-exclusion ban that will block players for a period of time and block the deposit system to prevent players from spending more money on their game. But of course, addicted players have ways to keep playing and this is a real problem and it is difficult to prevent them from playing on different platforms.

Without the presence of online gambling sites, people who are not mature enough can still do gambling by doing it with friends such as playing cards or betting on sports matches and so on, so actually online gambling sites only make it easier for us to gamble but even without them gambling will still exist even among children. Regarding the ID that is used to verify it is very easy to get on the internet, you only need a little skill to edit so that it looks genuine without the need to use your family ID.

Many casinos have implemented this, not only having to upload an ID but also taking a selfie holding the ID and once again I say it's still easy to pass because technology can help with things like that.

Setting a time limit is a new thing and I have never found it but casinos don't seem to be doing that because of course the more active their users are, the greater the profit they get, and of course users also won't like it, and can look for other casinos that don't implement this.

Is there a notification like that the players will stop immediately? I don't think so because players will stop when they feel the need to stop either because they have had enough profit or because the funds there have run out, or because they are already facing boredom so they choose to stop.

Casinos can implement many rules so that their users are not addicted, but awareness should arise from the players themselves, not because of coercion from the casino.

The OP strives to be an idealist, aiming to save the younger generation from falling into the realm of gambling. From a social perspective, gambling is not recommended, especially when it reaches the level of severe addiction. This poses great danger to the gambler, as they continually rely on the whims of the gambling establishment (or online platform owners) for their hopes and fortunes.

From a business standpoint, online gambling platforms indeed seek precisely that—enticing numerous users without the need for rigorous verification. The negative consequences are inevitably borne by underage individuals who become addicted to playing. Their future becomes threatened, rendering them useless.

Although this message may be read by gambling establishments, I believe they will never make decisions that could potentially harm their platforms. They will want to keep gamblers playing for the establishment, making them oblivious to the passage of time.

Some hate to add this up because they are worried about negative possibilities but people need to understand that sometimes this kind of verification is needed since there are criminals who stole someone's identity is doing some shitty action like that. And we will be protected to possible criminal liabilities if we consider to do that live selfie since this could verify us if the submitted documents is real and not created by those people who's planning to create criminal act or any trouble.

For so many platform exist which ask our identity before we can withdraw or do transaction for sure we can be save for that feature since it can help the platform to verify if the real user execute that transactions or not.

So you think everyone will have that time to create in taking selfy just in compliance to their requirements for the users verification process, they will definitely loose their customers if they implement such because but will trigger many people to use other casinos or try find the ones that requires no KYC for all these, at least they should be able to complete all their verification process through the prompt code sent to email or contact number, that's the only common way i see most admit on that and nothing more.


This is also not a good idea because the casinos will appreciate someone that can spend the whole day on their platform gambling and spending his money on their website, while should they restrict him or limit his time, this is strictly business and know that not every gambler is found with such habit, and the casinos shouldn't be the ones to be responsible for our gambling addiction when they are not forcing us to.

About accessibility and KYC verification, you are right that casinos should add extra layers so that the underaged don't use someone else's identity to verify their accounts and gamble as it is not good for them, they should obviously ask for a live selfie to tackle the problem of someone using someone else's documents for verification purposes.

When it comes to preventing addiction, it would definitely be something good if platforms provide notification after every 2 hours of someone continuously gambling, but it is basically not the casino's responsibility and a gambler himself should know when they need to stop.

Let us face the fact that gambling sites won't stop us from playing because you exceed certain number of hours of playing,
or certain amount that you have been playing with on the site?
As much as we want to have this kind of restriction, I don't think gambling sites would implement such protocol.
They are here for business, so they want their players to play as long as they want or spend as much as they can.
One feature that I know of relating to stopping the gambling addiction is the self-exclusion. I guess, this is only the feature that you can find from gambling sites.
Other than that, it is your own self-discipline that you need to exercise to moderate your gambling activities.

It could and It couldn't be at same time depending on the bankroll of that person. If he can make 7 figures salary and he is a billionaire then he don’t mind betting that huge amount of money therefore he is not gambling addict. Gambling addiction when you are betting outside your limit or simply betting that you can’t afford to lose.

We can’t tell someone that he is addict just because the amount that he is betting is huge for us. We have different financial status and tolerance towards gambling and addiction classification is based on how he is overspending his gambling budget.
