I think ive heard some casinos that has features that was called responsible gambling on which they will monitor the activity of the gambler is he is already over betting or spending too much time on gambling on which it is really good but i forgot what casino is that and also the problem with this is that for sure only few casino will implement this because the profit that they will earning is reduced unless they really care on gamblers. Though if there are really regulations about it then it could be a good use to prevent addictions.

It is now easily accessible because it already developed and we can now gamble online, there are so many websites online where we can gamble and the woeful fact is that people with any age can now gamble, if the website requires the idendtity then they can also use their parents ID or someone the know with valid ID.


The underage is the one that is affected and need protection from the many accessible online gambling casinos. The casinos should know the difference in children using of the parent ID and that is why I support this selfie shoot, it can discourage and prevent them to register.

2. They can also set a time limit of playing for a player, give notification if this would be their last game anymore for today.
3. Set a notification showing how long they've been playing.

With these kind of features, they might actually help or lessen the addiction of a gambler.

This features is too much and casinos will not likely to apply to them because it will reduce the customers numbers. Addiction is not prevented by this, it is not prove to stop or to reduce level of addiction . If casino set limit for playing to customer and after the time limit expire the game stop, it will affect profit of the casinos and if they show notification of how long played the addict will continue to play until funds will exhaust. Giving warning in the terms and conditions is better like trading brokers give disclaimer on trading is risky business.

1. They can use more secured ways to identify the real identity of their customer, the best thing to do here, aside from valid ID is they should add "take a selfie" on identity process.
2. They can also set a time limit of playing for a player, give notification if this would be their last game anymore for today.
3. Set a notification showing how long they've been playing.
A good gambling site will know the hours their customers are spending on their gambling site, that is just not normal. But they want gamblers to spend more time so that they can gamble more and spend more. And if most gamblers gamble more, it is more of profit for the gambling site.

Do not expect a gambling site to set time if gambling for gamblers, it is even not right, people should be given their time to be choosing by themselves to do whatever they want.

Many gambling sites require facial recognition today which is done before or after providing identity documents.

There are too many strategies to circumvent restrictions like that, to be affective. A person might have more than one account to bypass the restrictions... or they simply use a friend or family members credentials to bypass the restrictions.  Roll Eyes

I have heard several stories of people wearing wigs and fake beards to bypass facial recognition identification in brick n mortar casinos. They even buy fake identity documents to have more than one identity.  Roll Eyes

I tend to dislike features about ID recognition because it feels like violation of privacy. I am bit more old minded when it comes to this. But there are no other ways to block children from faking their ID. So sad we couldn't develop better methods. Anyways I think casinos should be able to pass drinks to loyal customers for sure. Nothing fancy. Like cola or soda through delivery app. This was for promotion. Other than this, if you certainly wanna stop gambling addiction, warning notifications are bitter sweet but not bad idea.

For what I can see, the best way to limit players from gambling addiction is related deposit limits.
~snip~
^Definitely right and I agree.
It should be there is a limit max amount of deposit per day, it may help to reduce the frequency and amount of money that a person can gamble, and it may therefore reduce the risk of gambling addiction. However, gambling addiction is a serious problem that is influenced by many factors, and a deposit limit alone may not be enough to prevent or address a gambling problem. While deposit limits can be an effective harm reduction measure, they should be implemented alongside other measures such as self-exclusion programs, responsible gambling education, and counseling or therapy services for those who have developed a gambling addiction. It is useful for individuals to recognize the signs of gambling addiction and seek help if they are experiencing any negative as a result of their gambling behavior.

because the items mentioned by the OP, that's hard to implement by the casino itself. unless, they can program those notifs to the players. so yes, i do agree that one option is to limit the deposits. however, most casinos want their players to deposit as much as they can. after all, that's their business, right?
well, if you can't find the restrictions inside the casino, it is on the player's hands himself that should do the cutback. because let's admit the fact that these casinos are running this kind of business for profits. they won't limit their players to play as much as possible.

Gambling is now really accesible nowadays, it starts with the tradition gambling wherein you are going to specific place to play personally or to gamble personally. It is now easily accessible because it already developed and we can now gamble online, there are so many websites online where we can gamble and the woeful fact is that people with any age can now gamble, if the website requires the idendtity then they can also use their parents ID or someone the know with valid ID.

Ive seen a qoute saying One has to know the risks and how to protect themselves,” she said. “[Gambling] does have alluring qualities that people have to be aware of this one says everything, there are a lot of gambler who have lost their lives becaus of addiction, addiction turns into depression this is not already a joke because it can really kill people. This is really destructive as it is now accessible 24/7 nowadays for only using phone or computer.

I am hoping that people who gamble can still prevent themselves from being addicted on it, there are still a lot of things that we can do to prevent addiction and those gambling websites or application can also help their customer by doing these things.

1. They can use more secured ways to identify the real identity of their customer, the best thing to do here, aside from valid ID is they should add "take a selfie" on identity process.
2. They can also set a time limit of playing for a player, give notification if this would be their last game anymore for today.
3. Set a notification showing how long they've been playing.

The possibility for a child to be playing at gambling at such a young age has low possibility it will surely depend on whether his or her parent can get accustomed to playing gambling if they are showing him or her a game that features a gambling kind of thing in it then he is likely exposing the kid to play gambling, that is when a child learns to gamble it will surely depend on their parents if they want to expose their child to gambling or not and would likely the kid will surely learn from them and to no one else about gambling

I think young adults can surely play gambling and would likely have knowledge about it and can surely get addicted to it, and likely prevention is always better than cure or limiting the kid from any platform that has a gambling feature on it, even with a simple kids game on a mobile gadget or device there are a gambling method that may involve I think as parents monitoring your child activity and what they play is up to us to control them,

Casinos would be applying these things? Then here's my comment in regard on Casino owners perspective.

1. ID would be enough , taking up selfie would add up the hassle and if users would be able to feel about it aside on sending out ID's then for sure they would flock away and this is something
that we do really avoind.

2. Putting up time limits or restrictions? As a business owner then you might be that in concern about gambling addiction but since you are running a business, then you wouldn't really be
minding about their situation on getting addicted. You cant really be just having that too in-kind approach just because you dont like to become for them to be addicts
but business will always matter.

3. Notification would be considerable but as a gambler then you would really be just like on ignoring this alarm or notification but its not really that
a bad add up though.

this is one of the most efficacy solution for addiction and really easy to adopt.
Of course probably one day it would be introduced a way to identify the same player on multiply platform Roll Eyes and avoid multi-account.

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅
"You can only guide a man on what to do but you can't force them to do so"... So I'll say that the governs are really trying Thier best to see how gambling won't be abused for any reasons at all.
KYCs aren't any perfect options at all... They'll actually work best if they governs aren't taking turns to look up on them gamblers for other special reasons I don't even know. We've got severally options too; the likes of what you mentioned aren't necessarily... I think they're going too far to run a casino kyc Initializing options with IDs... Don't you think so?? I don't gamble anyways, but if there's no crime in that, then I'll gladly do same

In reality most fiat based casinos have been seeking out more and more validation requirements for their customers over the years. It is only now after crackdowns that crypto casinos are having to crank it up or get heavy attention from regulators in the country they are headquartered in. If people have to go through this KYC and they don't want to share their identity, maybe because it would reveal assets otherwise unknown to the government or taxman, then there is no incentive to use these casinos over normal fiat currency ones. As for notifications, they are a sticking plaster - they have little real effect on a hardcore gambler who will immediately disregard the underlying message that they've played too much - it might even have a reverse effect for a stubborn player.

I don't know why the impression that KYC is meant for the casino to identify you regulated you to be not addicted to gambling. That's a bit funny because casinos do collect these KYC is because of the regulation and not to learn about you and when you become addicted, they will stop you or limit your spending or time on the casino.

But if that's what they do then that must be very noble of them. Are they really going to limit their profit-making business?

I support those points OP laid out but it restricts both the players and the casino from achieving what they want, casinos are profit driven if they implement these points they will lose a big portion of their profit, they support responsible gambling but not to the point of them being restrictive to their players, players don't want them to be limited they are looking for profit and entertainment if a casino have these features they can simply transfer to casinos that understand what they want, profit and to be entertain.
Casinos cannot define players' level of happiness playing in casinos, it's at the sole discretion of the players.

if the website requires the idendtity then they can also use their parents ID or someone the know with valid ID.
Why using parent ID? That is wrong, especially if the parent do not know about it.
This is actually a crime the person is commiting by using the ID of another person to fake his own. There can be very serious consequences for the individual involved on this kind of practice.



1. They can use more secured ways to identify the real identity of their customer, the best thing to do here, aside from valid ID is they should add "take a selfie" on identity process.
I don't doubt this is going to be implemented in a while, because most platforms asking for KYC already demands a selfie from the user, while holding a paper piece containing his personal signature, date of the currently day and an ID document.

2. They can also set a time limit of playing for a player, give notification if this would be their last game anymore for today.
I think that would be too restrictive, because different individuals have different needs. What for some is a short time period, for others it's too long. The same can be said about a gambler who has thousands of dollars to play, while other has less than twenty buckets.

3. Set a notification showing how long they've been playing.
That is always a nice feature to know for how long you have played, how much you have already waged and how much you have already lost of profit since the beginning. The history of an account is a very important feature.

KYC as it is, while necessary is already a massive pain in the ass and a painpoint of most gamblers who wanted to protect their identity. Adding more "verification" to this feature will just lead to more problems for gamblers which may very well urge them to look elsewhere, some other casino that's not this hard on privacy and verification so to speak. Time limits are a thing and I have been made aware of it, just forgot which casinos offer such feature but it was a thing, and then it wasn't. Profit is your biggest contender as a casino when you put the player's welfare first so I would assume that is the reason why casinos cracked down on enabling time controls and stuff.

To me, the best thing that a casino could add to its roster of features is the what I call "touch grass feature" picture this. You lost massively, you're raring to revenge gamble and you're putting too much pressure on yourself and too much money on the line. Thanks to "touch grass feature" you would receive either a warning for doing so, or you would be kicked out of the game for a longer period of time. This is going to be so annoying for the player, leading them to literally go out and touch grass lmao.
I get it, folks. KYC? A total nightmare, especially for gamblers who cherish their privacy. More verification steps? It's like pouring hot sauce on a paper cut, isn't it?

Don't even get me started on those pesky time limits. They appear and disappear like a magician's trick. They make us think we can control our gambling, and then poof! They're gone when we need them. The house, always looking out for their bottom line, right?

But here's a wild thought. How about a "touch grass feature" in casinos? Picture this: you lose big and revenge gambling starts calling. But this feature? It warns you or just kicks you out for a time-out. Might seem irritating, but it's a friendly reminder to get some fresh air and really touch grass!

A Bitcoiner chooses. A slave obeys.
I like the fact that OP created a topic on his own ideas of how to reduce the harm of gambling and to prevent addiction, however I would have to say that OP might be a bit naive in his assumption that these kinds of things are actually what casino owners want. Sure the owners say that they want to help prevent people from becoming gambling addicts who gamble all their lives and lose all their money in mere minutes but the truth is that casinos are for-profit businesses who would not install any measures which could potentially reduce their profit. At least not without being forced by the law to do so.

If you want to make a change you need to plead to the regulators and lawmakers. Otherwise things just stay how they are...

I agree with you that these additional features would be really nice additions to any online gambling website. I think what is most needed is a more secure way of identifying one’s self or “KYC”.

I like the other ideas too. Being able to set time limits would be a nice thing, but I’m not sure casinos would be too keen on this being that they won’t you to lose money.

Taking a selfie will help reduce the risk of giving underaged gamblers and other unauthorized individuals access to gambling sites but this feature might be too complicated and time-consuming that many users might find it complicated. A phone with a bad or malfunctioning camera will stop people from staking. And I see this function as invading one's privacy.

The easiest way to invade these restrictions is by registering on more than one gambling sites. When gambling addicts exceed limits on one gambling site they will log out and visit another one. Except this control system is centralized, it might fall short of expectations.
