Topic: Times When Casinos Will Ask Certificate That You Are A Responsible Gambler - page 3. (Read 647 times)

I doubt that will happen.

First, people are free to play and spend their money however they think is best. As long as they aren't stealing to fuel their addiction, no one could stop a person from gambling all their money or even creating gambling debts.

Second, because in countries where gambling is regulated, the tax that governments collect is high and the more people betting, the more taxes and "the better for the country".

Third, because websites, like any business, always seek to maximize their profits, regardless of how customers consume their products or services. I've never seen a company ban their customers because they were buying or using their services too much (actually I have, but it was in a bar where someone very drunk could do a lot of damage)

It’s not the concern anymore of the government since the gambler itself should be most aware on how to avoid huge losses from gambling and to stay away from gambling addiction. If he’s not a responsible one, then he might only go broke from gambling and might regret it later on. However, on the part of asking certificate, if this will be true in the future, I would say gambling casinos will never gain the same profits as it is now. If most gamblers will be restricted from gambling, then maybe it’s the best time to shut down gambling casinos than to suffer bankruptcy in the long run.

It's actually gonna get really wierd, honestly...
Majority of peeps don't even want to pass through some form of discomfort or stress -sort of., So they'll really make a nice choice by registering on casinos that don't operate under this jurisdiction.
Secondly, they'll certainly be much illegal casinos popping up from left, right and centre... thirdly, they govt are just bound to face more money laundering cases than the usual.

I think there's no problem if you'll use your username upon signing in/off. That's normal for most websites and since you've passed on that document, they're aware that's you and you're on their record already. Yeah, it's possible for this requirement to be in a licensed casino.

But to those that are not yet licensed or don't have plans to get one, they wouldn't require such but then, it's funny to think of this requirement for most gamblers just to prove that we're responsible because being responsible can't be drafted to a piece of paper unless being seen and witnessed.

I guess if that will be implemented in the future, I bet this is the beginning of casinos bankruptcy because if most of the gamblers will be discover that they are addicted to gambling, then they will not be allowed to gamble, thus creating less profits on the casinos. And since the government is also making quite a good income from casinos, then they will also lost it since the casinos are no longer profiting. So I don’t think the government will adopt it.

Players will not exert an effort to provide such a certificate in the future unless all casinos will implement it because if a single casino will do it, gamblers will just look for other casinos with lighter regulations. I also don't get the sense of asking for such a document because KYC would be enough and no one has to show off any proof that they're responsible gamblers.

People would be finding out places on which they would be able to avoid up these compliance or giving or showing certificate on a certain gambling platform plus isnt a bit heavy or too much when a certain business would really be asking for this kind of additional required things on the time that they would be tending to play on a site? Its true that its not really that compulsory on sending or complying out because there are places
which arent regulated which means that everyone could really be taking such option and would be playing on those place without hassling themselves on such thing about having those shit certificates.
It isnt also a solid thing that would be telling that a certain person wasnt addicted.

This particular aspect is very subjective and also, there's no point in implementing it as users can give a different answer to satisfy such requirement.
It will just be another non-sense requirement if in case casinos will start asking from their players.
Unless, the government will mandate these licensed casinos to require this document from its players.
But for now, I am not seeing this as beneficial for both sides, just another unnecessary document to scare away players.

Casino is a business, so if there is no need or regulation to ask player of Respnsible Gambling certificate then they will not ask it.  Besides, the government or the licensing office will have a hard time determining people whether they are responsible gambler or not.  If they present the evaluation with question, then it can be easily cheated by lying on the answers.  So I think that it is impossible for the casino to have such requirement.


I do not think the government will implement such kind of regulation.  If the government do then it will greatly affect the gambling business in a negative way.  And the government don't like their tax income hindered, do they?

Gambling is not new anymore and back in time, it is already known to be highly addictive but there were no such things as responsible gambler certificate that is being implemented all through the years. Here in crypto gambling, there is only a KYC which people did not expect as well because cryptos are supposed to be decentralized.

This alone is already enough for us. We don't want more hassle but if let say a responsible gambler certificate is also required, I think that will be the time that gamblers are going to quit gambling for real and this will badly affect the gambling industry. I think the gambling sectors have already think of it in advance and maybe that is the reason on why they did not continue with this idea.

To be honest, this is a pretty redundant notion. if so, all countries that legalize gambling implement the idea of ​​a responsible gambler certificate. Then what will happen. Most likely, many gamblers will look for other options or try to find gambling platforms that do not include the requirements like the ideas you posted in this thread. yes, it seems that this idea is too complicated to apply to gamblers, especially for gamblers who have experienced many losses.

Well, as one of our members said. almost impossible to happen, in a country that adheres to a system of freedom. I understand very well, that this idea is very good for gamblers. however, I'm not sure this pattern will be applied by every country. As for the other idea, ideally, with a responsible gambling program. yes, to provide direction for gamblers, both veteran gamblers and new gamblers. a program like this could be implemented, but I'm not sure it will be effective. however as a hint and direction it is better than the ideas you posted in this thread. one of the contents of the program is, providing knowledge of what to watch out for before betting, understanding how gambling works, tips on safe gambling and so on.
IMO, this would be more accepted by society than having a responsible gambler's certificate.

I'm not sure gamblers will agree to the government's plan to upload responsible gambler certificates especially gamblers who usually play in crypto casinos, because it has crossed the boundaries of crypto casinos. Those crypto gamblers will probably move on to other crypto casinos that don't ask for those certificates.

But if the certificate is for a gambler who has lost a lot of money, maybe the certificate can become necessary because the casino doesn't want to be blamed by anyone. Apart from that, the government also supervises casinos, so the casinos are just trying to carry out the rules.

It's useless to have such certificate because there are few unlicensed casinos where you can gamble without need to worry about KYC and other verification, so an addict can still gamble in unlicensed casino because he don't have to submit a certificate. I'm not really sure if in the future the casino will implement this kind certificate in able to gamble in their casino, this will make people not favor to gamble due to many rules need to follow and this will decrease the traffic.

surely there will be many gamblers who leave the gambling because of the certificate issue and they will not only choose on-chain gambling but prefer physical gambling.
however I am also sure that casinos will not implement such regulations because gambling is a business that aims to profit from addicted gamblers. if that happens it's like limiting other people's freedom and very bad.

That's an interesting idea, but might be very hard to implement. Gambling addiction is a serious problem that only affects a fraction of the gamblers. So for making such a certificate mandatory at the casinos a lot of gamblers who never struggled with the addiction would have to get it. This would be a lot of work and also provides the government with personal information from all the gamblers. I think the major concern most of us have with it is the misuse of our data by the government and a potential data breach that could lead to our data getting in the wrong hands. It also might be a bit hard to proof that you are a responsible gambler. What kind of records do we need to keep from our gambling activities, and for how long? That could accumulate to a lot of data.

Even if such certificate would be implemented, I'm sure that it will be faked and many gamblers will successfully bypass it.
The casinos have no incentive at stopping the hardcore gambling addicts from gambling. It doesn't matter that some casinos promote "responsible gambling" and try to describe their business as "responsible". Hypocrisy is a part of the game.
The government could create lists of gambling addicts and each person, who is added to this list has to be forever banned from visiting offline casinos(showing ID card when visiting the casino would be required) and creating accounts at online casinos(ID verification would become mandatory at all online casinos). This would be a way better policy than the implementation of useless certificates.

Not closing the door for this to happen but one thing I will surely do , when times this comes to reality ? I will never play in those casino that implement this and if all of them are? then it is time for me to leave the online gambling and maybe return to my old habits and that is to play cards and some small time gambling in my community.
we even have a time playing and betting in online games in which I am one of the best before(not know now if I am still that good lol)

I also think that this type of system wouldn't be installed to protect people's wealth. I agree that governments can't and shouldn't influence people s spending decisions. But I assume casinos may prefer this system to see which people can be loyal customers and which people are losers. As you said, even customers may like such system because you may be tagged as "responsible" customer and that may return you extra bonus benefits. I think such system seems attractive enough to enforce and we will hear about in next 5 years.

Can this certificate serve as a clear evidence that you're a responsible gambler? What if your behaviour is different when you're already playing? I don't think the casino will implement this kind of rule before one can gamble. It can hurt their business since for casinos, the more gamblers playing and spending their money on their platform, means the more revenue they're getting.

Government can't control the people on where they want to spend their wealth. They can give warning but they can't dictate the people. As long as they're playing on a legal casino, I don't see the point of refraining them to gamble since gamblers are the ones responsible for themselves when already playing.

I don't see if happening, i'm pretty sure casinos make most of their revenue from addicted gamblers, it would be like a shot in foot.

If a person is addicted gambler and he's supposed to show a certificate to gamble, it would be annoying for him as well. Such requirement will likely make him move on to alternatives such on-chain casinos than curb his addiction.
