Title: Some needed features of an online casino.
Post by: Alucard1 on May 15, 2023, 09:17:03 AM
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.

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

I think it's time some gambling sites began to look into email before approving kyc from their users. Just as Binance does to their users although I don't know if is applicable to all their users but then when passing kyc to trade p2p it was said of using email that bears the same with your documents and also with same name that is on the local bank account, otherwise their identity may not be verified.

Now what makes me brought this issues is about the children using their parents identity to verify them selves to have access to the gambling sites, if those gambling site are this mean to restrict under age gambler they are meant to go into detail of looking towards requirements in other to still limit under age gamblers.

Then facials verification is also something very important to track down those that are secretly stealing their parents id, if this is required I don't think any under age child could have the courage to meet their parents to help them pass kyc while the parents knows the implications involved.

This should be discussed by the owners and workers of a gambling site, not a discussion for gamblers. I mean this discussion does not fit into gambling board.

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.

Then facials verification is also something very important to track down those that are secretly stealing their parents id, if this is required I don't think any under age child could have the courage to meet their parents to help them pass kyc while the parents knows the implications involved.
I think no parent will give his or her ID document to any of his or her children to use to verify on a gambling site. Most likely that the child use the ID document unknowingly to the parent.

But you are right, facial recognition can be helpful.

Most well known casinos I think have a self exclusion ban which can be 1 day,1 week,1 month,1 year or forever and so when a gambler feels that things are running out of his control he can go and opt a self exclusion ban depending on his severity of addiction he can go and click on self exclusion forever.

The other ways mentioned here are a burden for most casinos as they would have to change their code in order to accommodate,time limits and things of this nature and that is why I think self exclusion is enough.For other ways there should be educative ads on TV,radios and other resources easily accessible to anyone so they can be useful to bring down the number of addicted persons.

I know that you are mostly talking about features which are supposed to prevent gambling addiction or underage gambling, however, allow me to get a bit off topic and talk about a  feature which I would love online casinos to have for the VIP gamblers.

The big crypto casinos of internet should partner with some delivery service like Uber Eats, so they can send some drinks and food as a perk, to their most dedicated gamblers, about the same way brick and mortar casinos do. It would be an awesome evolution for online gambling in my opinion  :P

I bet it would attract new people towards that specific webpage, I think Stake could pull it off.

Gambling sites are already doing this. KYC.
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.
This will not be easy as it requires checking every user which means millions of gamblers to monitor. Then, even if a timer will be set, what if they will force it by putting higher amount of bets if they see the timer is gonna run out?
This type of feature should only be a one-sided rule. For the gambler to control themselves and have discipline on when they will stop.
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.
Again, it's just the same as the details on number 2. They won't put gamble responsibly after their advertisements if the gambling sites themselves will be the ones controlling your playing time. It's on you. Be responsible. I'd suggest applying for the "Responsible Gambling" feature of one gambling site. Stake.com has that kind of option if you want to take a break.

You've highlighted some potential features that gambling websites or applications could consider implementing to help prevent addiction among their customers. While these features may be helpful, it's important to note that preventing addiction is a complex issue and may require a multi-faceted approach.
Allow users to set financial limits on their gambling activities, such as deposit limits or maximum losses. These limits can help individuals stay within their budget and avoid excessive financial losses.
Providing players with notifications about how long they have been playing can serve as a helpful reminder of the time spent gambling. It can promote self-awareness and encourage players to reflect on their gambling habits, potentially preventing them from losing track of time and engaging in prolonged sessions!!
Develop educational materials and interactive tools that inform users about the risks associated with gambling, signs of addiction, and responsible gambling strategies. This can help increase awareness and promote informed decision-making!

bigger problems require better solutions I guess? Well even before in traditional gambling places, we also used to borrow our friend's IDs or steal our parent's IDs hahahha. It just that nowadays it is more of technology and website based.

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.

depression is a very sensitive subject. but if you are someone who is suffering from it, I just want you to know that things will get fine. Whatever you're suffering on, that will shall pass.

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.

Irresponsible gambling will surely ruin your life. Indeed, having additional security and limitations of gambling websites to be as features would help the users manage themselves. But it still always depends on the user and the gambler. Just please gamble with care and don't ruin your life with betting be it online or traditional.

All the features mentioned seems to be fair and it can help with the control and intimating users about the gambling activities. However along with the features there'll be options to enable and disable the feature. This once again makes the gambling activity to be much based on the user mind and not on the casino's choice.

Users were requested to prove their identity is good, but the competence in the gambling sites make it more feasible for gamblers. Every platform during the signup process gives a detailed briefing on terms and conditions. It is the users who understand it well and move forward, because the prime objectives found were about the risk and to gamble responsibly.

I think more highlighted the use of parents' identity cards to access gambling, it is illegal, and this maslaah can also be associated with adults who use the identity of others, this is too easy to manipulate by gamblers in their original identity, maybe biometric Facial verification can be an additional option so that children who use their parents' identity cards and users who use other people's identity cards can be rejected while doing KYC.
This feature will be very helpful in my opinion.

But how can casinos get money, if without gambling addicts isn't it that the more people who lose money the more casinos are rich and have money, so how can they add the features you want when it's their own source of income, after all they probably won't add anything that will stop gamblers from stopping playing, because what they want is for gamblers to continue playing spending all their money and assets.

I believe you may also know about this, we cannot save an addict without the intention of the addict himself to stop gambling, because the more we try to awaken and stop them, not necessarily they can stop being an addict.

this is a great idea for casinos that requires gamblers to fill up the KYC information upon registration, but I won't be surprised if a lot of gamblers will be against it.

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.
would you mind elaborating on the highlighted part? does it mean that a gambler would temporarily not be able to use casino game/s until they pick whether it would be their last game for the game or not?

3. Set a notification showing how long they've been playing.
an hourly notification that would pop up on the side of a screen( so it won't be annoying) would be great.

This should be discussed by the owners and workers of a gambling site, not a discussion for gamblers. I mean this discussion does not fit into gambling board.
actually, I think this a somewhat of a good discussion for gamblers to have, I mean it would be good to know what gamblers feel about the features OP suggested.

Do the casinos you play in still have their rules from the past? Not just a selfie, they even require people to put up a lot of other documents like bills as proof of identity afaik. It's not even for preventing addiction or anything (nor it can really), it's just the way the laws that they follow work. And honestly speaking, probably ANY type of rule or ToS in casinos that directly involve in stopping players would inevitably cause them a loss, and at the end of the day they're a business, so I highly doubt they'd do that. That's why self-exclusion exists, it's a great way to let users know that they "seem" to care, but they won't really force it onto them no, cause it's a direct loss on their part.

Maybe the time can be a useful one though. Not like someone who really wants to gamble would care tbf.

I noticed that some casinos already have notifications in place that show if I played for more than an hour. That's a good thing in my opinion because time can fly fast during a gambling session and we don't want to feel bad if the whole evening is gone. Would be nice if all casinos would adopt such a statem. As for setting a fixed time limit on our ourselves on how long we want to gamble, it's a bit difficult because we would be logged out in the middle of a session if our time is up. Let's say you are running a martingale strategy and have quite a few losses in a row, you need only one win to recover everything. But if you get forced to log out by the system you would be stuck with a big loss. Having a panic button is a good compromise, with it we can log ourselves out for 24 hours up to 1 month whenever we need. Also I would prefer to not send selfies to a casino, is it really needed?

I don't how this is going to prevent a gambler from becoming addicted to gambling, the only thing that this can take care of is cheater which I'm sure KYC already have that under control an just as you said it's online an eliminating cheaters completely is almost impossible even if there proceed to taking selfies they could also easily use someone else's face.
We live in a computer world most things wwe believe not to be possible are becoming possible gradually.

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.

This is not a new idea as so many users including myself are already using it.

3. Set a notification showing how long they've been playing.

This could also fit into no 2 as they are talking about the same thing which is time.

Another that should be added to the list is; setting a budget. Gamblers should not just dive into their account and start gambling without having a set amount for gambling if they do gambler without having an amount to limit they'll not only become addicted they'll also waste their money.

Gambling sites are already doing this. KYC.
OP is not saying that Casino's and gambling sites are not doing KYC, he is suggesting that they make the process more difficult for underage gamblers or other people to cheat. Selfie in addition to submission of Valid ID is not very common, although it can be scary having to submit a selfie before you gamble as a responsible gambler of age, it can actually solve the case for underage gamblers who use the identity of their parents and others that they have access to, to bet KYC and gamble.

I don't how this is going to prevent a gambler from becoming addicted to gambling,
That one does not really concern stopping gamblers from being addicted, it is more about reducing and stopping the number of underaged gamblers on their platform.

Selfie, maybe it's a good idea, but in my opinion selfie is not a solution to be able to prevent someone from quitting gambling or addiction.
Reason: addiction according to my understanding is one of the diseases that is ingrained in a person's soul for their gambling habit, even though selfies can have negative consequences for gambling users, but that doesn't stop them from overcoming addiction, it's the most serious disease in gambling.

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.
If this is done by an online casino, the negative consequences for the casino are very fatal, users are uncomfortable betting, this will have a bad impact on online casinos, the addict will leave the casino and look for another casino, the end of the story closes and goes out of business without players.

3. Set a notification showing how long they've been playing.
This is even worse, there is no sense of comfort gambling in the casino, fatal.



As far as I know people come to the world of gambling just to have fun in their bets, regardless of the addiction felt by users, they come to online casinos to bet as comfortably as possible, a casino that has 1000 limited bans, can make the casino die, the three ideas you mentioned to prevent addiction, in my opinion the negative impact on the casino itself, not on the user, what else is already a real addiction in gambling.

These are good suggestions for the sake of players, but will there be casinos that will be willing to implement these features, this could mean losing a big portion of their income, online casinos are not different from offline casinos they want you to stay as long as possible until you lose your bankroll.

The furthest they can do is to advise their players when signing up by recommending to read their TOS which the majority of gamblers will just ignore when it comes to the point about advice on responsible playing.
Casinos are profit-driven and players' urges cannot be stopped by a mere notification, they will only do so when they are completely satisfied or they lose everything.

Among these things I think I can only agree to number 3 it is probable because people still don't like to do KYC until now, even though most of the online gambling site now implemented it still they are to hesitant for it what more for selfie. In my own perspective it cannot be done because of the privacy of each and every gambler and it will make them more uncomfortable. Limiting the time of the player can kill the momentum, though #3 can be easily ignored but it will helps.

From what I know, some casinos already require a selfie when going through KYC, but I guess the other casinos aren't doing the same because having fewer requirements would encourage gamblers to play on their site.

Some form of time restriction seems unnecessary for casinos, but as swogerino already mentioned, most casinos have self-exclusion, which is the better alternative to what you're asking for.

Receiving notifications about your playtime would be a good idea, but I doubt casinos would add such a feature when they prefer their gamblers to play as long as possible. I remember some games have this feature, but i'll ignore them anyway.

It's true that there are many people whose lives are ruined because of their addiction to playing gambling, therefore, gambling players need to realize that gambling isn't a place to make money, but only for entertainment.

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 three features that you mentioned above can really help the public and also gambling players, but they are not easy to implement, for example in the first point, it will make the players not want to play, and will cause losses to the casino side. On the second point, are you sure you won't cause any harm? it could be because of the play limits given, gambling players will do all-in in the last round given by the casino, of course this will be very dangerous right?

But, for the third point, I totally agree that if it is implemented, this is done by several big platforms like TikTok, they will remind their users how long they have been scrolling videos, and give advice so don't forget to do other activities such as playing with family, etc.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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...

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!

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.

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.

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?

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.

"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

For what I can see, the best way to limit players from gambling addiction is related deposit limits.
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 ::) and avoid multi-account.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.  ::)

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.  ::)

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.

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.

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.

for the first, I do not agree if you have to identify customers using selfies, while some gamblers want to remain anonymous without anyone knowing when gambling. we are talking about crypto casinos which most people prefer to gamble anonymously but if this feature is enabled it will take away the anonymity of crypto gambling.
secondly, it seems that casinos cannot implement this feature because casinos cannot limit the freedom of gamblers to gamble at any time and how long they will gamble and casinos only provide a place to gamble without any restrictions.

I'm not sure if this feature can help reduce gambling addicts while gambling companies want to benefit from their customers who in reality cannot implement such features.

for me the only ones who can reduce gambling addiction are those who can control themselves, not the casino.

Why should this be a more needed features to a regular gambler when everyone is attempting on going for the use of gambling platforms that requires no KYC verification process, you have to also consider tour privacy before making an opinion for someone to take assuming you don't mind such for yourself, i want to believe you've not been once into a KYC challenges before with a casino whereby they restrict your account from performing anything until you comply to their conditions.

NO casino would ever want to implement this, that they should limit the extent a gambler could use their service in gambling, that's not possible , even you yourself cannot encourage such if you're having a casino, you will rather prefer they are gambling in an unlimited access repeatedly as long as they have the money to do so in their casino wallet.

Prevention is better than cure, if many of our gamblers could take it a responsibility to always go through the policies and privacy statement of each casinos before they go further with them, risk is not only associated with the online casinos but it's what's common in almost every areas of life, when we gamble and don't win, we have the fun and take that along, then we must also know well the kind of casino platdo we are using, some can be trusted while some cannot, but yet everything falls under taking risk, if you can't risk it don't game it.

Not a casino nor the governments or authorities really care about an individual getting addicted and losing money in gambling because they get money from it, if they start stopping people themselves only because they are wagering too much money and also losing, they will simply be refusing to take profit and that is what a business is for, to get money.

So even if a casino implements such a feature, I'm sure it won't be continued for long since the filter will stop a lot of high rollers from gambling since I know that a lot of high rollers lose a lot of money in a day in a single casino platform.

If the casino implement all this criteria, they'll run out of business to other casino that don't have this restrictions. Gamblers don't like to be told what to do and if you try telling them, you'll lose a customer and they make tell their friends not to use your casino anymore.

It's not the duty of the online casino to prevent underage gambling or gambling addiction. We're responsible for that and if as a parent you don't know the online activities of your kids, that's your problem and not that of the online casinos just offering a service.

I'll agree with your verification process to be implemented on all online casino that are asking for KYC verification before their customers can use their platforms. This will help reduced underage betting to some extent but don't forget casino accounts can be bought.

Casimos can never put interest in what will reduce their tendencies for making more money to their casino, which the points number 2 and 3 figure this features out, they can't limit the extent you can go in gambling, moderating your gambling numbers of attempts is like them restricting themselves from making more money from gambling, also license is not the only way to verify the real genuinety of a casino because the licensed ones have scammed gamblers in the past and same the ones not being licensed, all these were just regulations from government that makes no much different frombthe real state of things with gambling.

If the casino is as strict as you mentioned, I'm a crypto gambler who will move to another less strict casino because they don't want to do as much verification. Maybe they could send in their ID documents, but they'll avoid it if it's more than that.And casinos also know that being too strict in asking for verification could affect their revenue because the number of members playing will decrease a lot. '

Casinos have given a chance to their members who want to limit their gambling so that members can immediately use it. But I think only a few use that feature because those who play gambling in casinos want to have fun playing gambling.

It's pointless if you hope the gambler to not become an addict through monitoring how long they have gamble, they can just gamble on another casino to make them can gamble for 24/7, correct?

Never encountered platforms asking for these personal details such as bank details (aside from bank number) and specific IDs and I think there's no need to especially in this industry wherein anonymity is supported. If casinos would push such they should rather be on Centralized margin or fiat based.

Features on the other which I guess would be helpful in gambling platforms and players themselves would be instant deposits during or halfway your play time and not a repetitive procedure for a single day. Quite of a 'one click' feature. Also an enhanced bot detector.

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.

I think it's time some gambling sites began to look into email before approving kyc from their users. Just as Binance does to their users although I don't know if is applicable to all their users but then when passing kyc to trade p2p it was said of using email that bears the same with your documents and also with same name that is on the local bank account, otherwise their identity may not be verified.

Now what makes me brought this issues is about the children using their parents identity to verify them selves to have access to the gambling sites, if those gambling site are this mean to restrict under age gambler they are meant to go into detail of looking towards requirements in other to still limit under age gamblers.

Then facials verification is also something very important to track down those that are secretly stealing their parents id, if this is required I don't think any under age child could have the courage to meet their parents to help them pass kyc while the parents knows the implications involved.

This is a good input.

It's really common nowadays to use the parent's ID just to become verified in certain platforms. I know some friends way back who used his mom's ID just to make his account on an e-wallet fully verified to be able to play and bet on cockfighting since it is the only mode of payment for that matter. Hence, it will really defeat the purpose of including KYC is important matters such as this could be bypassed by minors who aren't supposed to be lurking around and even take part in any gambling activities.

It's a good suggestion to have facial verification and recognition before you could verify and fully access an account. It's an additional layer of security for the casino owners to ensure that they are not giving a free pass to minors on their platform and at the same time, an assurance for the gamblers with account containing huge betting funds, that their account won't be accessed by anyone other than them.

I disagree, why the casino need tightening their rules and ask many thing for verification purpose?

It's pointless if you hope the gambler to not become an addict through monitoring how long they have gamble, they can just gamble on another casino to make them can gamble for 24/7, correct?

Asking a selfie pict is useless too because image can be photoshopped to make it looks legit, nowadays technology is really insane.
I think the feature that the OP recommended is useless because it's the opposite of the situation, after all people still hate KYC how can they take a selfie to identify their account to play let alone monitor gamblers play, I think the casino is enough to ask for documents and there is no need to have to add selfie photos that are clearly burdensome for gamblers too many features that are complicated regulations will be abandoned in the end.

I also think it is useless for the casinos to stop people from becoming addicts because they will still play at other casinos, it all comes down to being able to control themselves so they don't become addicts and to be responsible gamblers, moreover the casinos will be very rich if many addicts continue to gamble in their casinos.  ;D

As of now, I frequently run into casinos asking for selfies as proof that we are the owners of the documents we will be providing in order to meet their KYC standards. Avoiding identity theft will be advantageous to both them and the gambler. In terms of player activity tracking, I don't believe casinos will ever make this a priority or be able to stop their customers from gambling. Once a player develops a gambling addiction, it is up to him to decide whether or not to curb this behavior.
The only thing casinos could do is just set reminders and cautions about the consequences of excessive gambling because gambling addiction is a personal choice.

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.

I think it's time some gambling sites began to look into email before approving kyc from their users. Just as Binance does to their users although I don't know if is applicable to all their users but then when passing kyc to trade p2p it was said of using email that bears the same with your documents and also with same name that is on the local bank account, otherwise their identity may not be verified.

Now what makes me brought this issues is about the children using their parents identity to verify them selves to have access to the gambling sites, if those gambling site are this mean to restrict under age gambler they are meant to go into detail of looking towards requirements in other to still limit under age gamblers.

Then facials verification is also something very important to track down those that are secretly stealing their parents id, if this is required I don't think any under age child could have the courage to meet their parents to help them pass kyc while the parents knows the implications involved.

I don't think if there are gambling site that has implemented that feature as additional security to pass kyc to their site, if this is being applied I don't there would be under age gamblers. Although gambling sites are becoming more competitive nowadays because when gamblers senses much difficulties by passing kyc on ant gambling site they may quite and look for another less stressfree site to gamble.

With this gambling site owners are trying their best to eliminate much difficulty associated to their kyc system in other to gain more popularity over their competitors.

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

It's good on the gamblers side but bot encouraging on the casino side because that's part of the ways they make more money to their casino business, for an average gambler, i think settings control measures shouldn't be a difficult task to do, some cannot just set some limits to how far they go in gambling or any other activities they do.

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.

Most ofbthe casinos will not even support this at all because it will not work in their favour and talking about addiction to the gamblers involved, it's better they don't have the money at all at hand because they will always finds a means to ensure that they gambles either in physical or online.

It is unthinkable for any casino to not have a chat feature. I think that is the most important one and it will stay the most important one for a long time as well. I feel like if you can handle that, then we are going to actually end up seeing something changing for good and that should be the most important thing.

Not many people have anything to show for it and they think that it is not going to change much neither, but I believe that if you could end up with something decent, then people will be able to actually make a big change for you in the end. I believe that if we can make a big change, then we are going to end up with something like multiple coins too, that would be good, but chat is still very much the most important one by far.

I seem to have the same thought as you, friend, where if a feature cannot provide any advantage to the casino at all, then it is impossible to set it because casinos are a place to do business, so they will only add something that they feel can generate some profit.
Besides, I haven't seen any of these features in the casinos I've used so far.
Now this is a little inaccurate because a gambling addict will do anything to get some money to gamble and the negative impact of gambling addicts who don't have money is that they can commit criminal acts to get some money.

Do the casinos you play in still have their rules from the past? Not just a selfie, they even require people to put up a lot of other documents like bills as proof of identity afaik. It's not even for preventing addiction or anything (nor it can really), it's just the way the laws that they follow work. And honestly speaking, probably ANY type of rule or ToS in casinos that directly involve in stopping players would inevitably cause them a loss, and at the end of the day they're a business, so I highly doubt they'd do that. That's why self-exclusion exists, it's a great way to let users know that they "seem" to care, but they won't really force it onto them no, cause it's a direct loss on their part.

Maybe the time can be a useful one though. Not like someone who really wants to gamble would care tbf.
They say past is past but there is nothing wrong with it in terms of casino rules. The requirements that you listed there doesn't came from the past but these are the modern day verification. They care called KYC.

In the past, people in crypto gambling never experienced this because that is where the crypto started ( to be fully decentralized ). Right, KYC is not a good measure to stop addiction. They have a different purpose but requiring ID's helps to stop underage people from gambling in as they are more prone to addiction than the adults as adults can think mature enough than them. If a gambler notice that the casino seem to care, they might support them more than to stop.

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.

This is already implemented when verifying one's identity.  The platform always ask to present a selfie or even a video interview to verify the person.
Quote
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.

The problem with this approach is that a person can play in different platform so limiting them in one gambling platform have no effect because they will just move to another gambling platform to continue playing.

Quote
3. Set a notification showing how long they've been playing.

Some casinos have this notification.  I have experienced this thing in some casinos when I was playing more than an hour, I received a pop up reminding me of how long I have been playing on their platform.

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

I doubt it because a person hooked on gambling can easily bypass and ignore the 2 and 3 suggestions you made.

Sorry, but I have to Disagree. A gambler is a gambler. These features won't actually bring difference if we talk about leading to " worst addiction".

Believe me, most casinos don't really prioritize how their users will end up because of an obvious reason that "only us" can control ourselves, and if we allow ourselves to fall into the trap of gambling, who's the one to blame on that situation?

I appreciate though that some features will be added to help users lessen the addiction but still, we are talking about a gambling platform here and the priority is to always make their users addicted to the platform. Besides let's clarify that when we say addiction, it's not totally mean a sh*t gambler. There are addicted gamblers that are still responsible for their lives outside of gambling.

There's also many gamblers there whom I see in the chat about complaining the same thing ( over betting ) but they also have a feature called self exclusion. You can talk more about this matter in their customer support although I know that this is not enough because we can still create a new account or check out other online gambling platforms.

It's fine if only a few casino cares about the sake of their customers. They might earn a lesser income but they can still get a good impression for us and maybe they can get a special award for this with some cash reward but this must be a secret so that only the genuine ones are going to be qualified.

All the features mentioned seems to be fair and it can help with the control and intimating users about the gambling activities. However along with the features there'll be options to enable and disable the feature. This once again makes the gambling activity to be much based on the user mind and not on the casino's choice.

Users were requested to prove their identity is good, but the competence in the gambling sites make it more feasible for gamblers. Every platform during the signup process gives a detailed briefing on terms and conditions. It is the users who understand it well and move forward, because the prime objectives found were about the risk and to gamble responsibly.
I guess having KYC and enabling ban exclusion are good enough. We cannot expect for online casinos to put a lot of restrictions because they are doing a business, and gambling addiction is not their responsibility but it’s certainly for gamblers themselves. So once you enter into their site and start gambling, it’s already expected that you have well understood their terms and conditions as everything that concerns about the gambling site and the gamblers  are already found and listed there.

This is like suggesting to casinos to cut their profit, and for the players to limit their enjoyment it's not democratic to suggest these things, casinos are not educational portals that will teach you how to gamble properly they can suggest but they cannot implement measures that will control your urge to gamble, and teach you how to gamble responsibly, you are on your own when you decide to play in casinos.

I doubt this will be implemented, there's no business sense in implementing these features.

Online casinos are always ready to make the money that is why most of them are always bothered about government restrictions and heavy regulations that could make them lose some customers especially those that do use big funds to bet and lose them frequently. No gambling platform is ready to put a big restrictions on the customers betting activities unless they find out otherwise that the customers has breached there terms and conditions and also earning from them illegally. Casinos are always ready to welcome bother new and old customers without second thought except otherwise.

That is really the sad truth that casino owners dont really care about addiction on the gambers nor the government as they have no control on this things that is why we our selves should control this so that we dont get addicted. We knew really that they have less effort on doing this as they only thinking about the profit that brought to us and you are right if this was implemented then they have less profit as we knew that other gamblers will find other platform for less hassle.

These features are indeed very helpful. These would significantly limit the exposure of people to gambling. If I may add, there should also be betting limits. This is to make sure that huge losses are prevented.

The big question, however, is this: will these features be favorable to casinos and betting sites? Do you think they would agree to these? I don't think so. Even on the side of gamblers, are they going to be in favor of this? To the majority, I doubt.

But it would indeed probably be better if there's a maximum amount of money and time imposed to every gambler.

What would be the criteria for every gambler to give them the maximum time and amount of money and can it be requested of course casinos will look at their profit if they will impose the limitation and they will not likely give any more bonuses and free spins for those who want to wage more because they have limitations to impose.
Players will look for the next best casino to play if they are going to get a limit on the casino they are currently playing, you cannot stop a player who is excited to play, it's hard to impose limitations on players who are willing to spend in exchange for a chance to win and be entertained.

Your sharp-eyed dissection of this casino game – responsible gambling – has me intrigued. Indeed, these safety features can be lifesavers for gamblers riding the edge. But does the house – the casino – really benefit from them?

Business-wise, some would say it's a dud. But hold on, think about the reputation. If a casino's seen as a pusher, feeding addictions, what's the cost to their brand, to their coffers? Might that hit harder than a brief dip in profits?

Self-ban – it's a big thing. But you hit the nail on the head, folks. Players can just sign up again, switch places. Maybe we need to think bigger, more cooperation, casinos and regulators together, a shared self-ban system.

Casinos, should they get a pat on the back for doing the right thing? Or is it just their duty, with consequences for dropping the ball?

When i got to look into your title and this point raised by you, i see a little contradiction because the casinos will not want to implement on this points above listed by you, why should they, going through this to the extent of taking ones picture is totally uncalled for considering ones privacy except if the gambler is such that wouldn't mind on these and because not this whole process, some gamblers may decided not to use such casino and look for another that does not gave such requirements as verifications.

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

It's nobthe casino's responsibility or the government in helping a gambler to control his emotions for gambling addiction, you went there all by yourself to gambles the way you like, gambling is all about freedom and choice.

There are a number of casinos that provide rakeback and also have bonus prizes for active users, aka having a certain level, so why add that feature which will obviously hurt the casino after all there is no point in adding features that ultimately limit and remind gamblers to stop, the casino always make promotions and others so that gamblers continue to play all the time. then by adding a warning feature to stop or something else it is very contradictory.

We'll see if there are casinos who do that, I don't think there will be because the casino profits come from active gamblers including gambling addicts, it doesn't matter if they become addicts or not it's clear as long as they play and lose it's an advantage for the casino and the casino gives back prizes in the form of bonuses and rakeback, that's fair enough

Casinos have given a chance to their members who want to limit their gambling so that members can immediately use it. But I think only a few use that feature because those who play gambling in casinos want to have fun playing gambling.

Casino shoudn't make such restrictions to be general, they can provide the options for members to select so it helps them with their gambling addiction but it shouldn't be a default settings or it'll chase away customers. People like freedom and such features doesn't support freedom.

Also the casino can monitor users account and another they find to be gambling out of control, they can send them emails or pop up messages to enable the safety options so they don't get addicted to gambling. I think people will love such message.

It'll show people that the casino cares about their well being and doesn't only want to make money from them gambling on their sites. People are very sensitive and any decisions that makes them feel secure, they'll welcome.

Agree, every casino will definitely prioritize giving bonuses and the like to active gamblers who already have a certain level.
After all, anything that poses a risk to the gambler is not the responsibility of the casino.
Gambling addiction is a risk that must be faced by every gambler so that whatever happens, only the gambler can react or be held accountable.
Bonuses such as weekly or monthly and rakeback are given by the casino to gamblers depending on the level rating and also the number of bets used because the bigger the bonus and rakeback the greater the amount.
This is why many gamblers dare to spend more money to gamble because when they lose the casino still gives a small return.
So whether the gambler becomes addicted or loses this huge amount of money is his own fault.
And these features are not a feature that must be implemented by casinos.

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.

I am interested in this point. in most cases, connoisseurs who like this one hobby. often, they were previously unaware that they had become part addicts. some of them even deny that they are addicts even though their activities are always excessive. meanwhile, what you say, is not easy at all. because, to prevent someone from becoming an addict is difficult. why, yes, this cannot be separated from the understanding of the gamblers themselves. and how a gambler defines gambling for himself. but one thing for sure, gambling activity is a fun hobby. triggers our adrenaline, which produces an excess of dopamine. if, most gamblers who are able to rely on themselves. that means, there are not many people who become addicts. but the fact is, it is the opposite. at least, self-awareness is a factor that helps a person not to get caught up in his addiction. whatever type of addiction, be it drugs or gambling.

Regarding the ideas the features you mentioned in this post, for point 1 it seems still possible and relevant. however for points 2 and 3, is the casino willing to do it, I don't think so.

Just think in the practical way, do you think it's an impossible task for someone to pass selfie restriction when they really want to gamble? They can throw a 10 dollar bill to someone and make them to be their pseudo identity. So if we really need to stop them then all time face surveillance can be the realistic choice to prevent the minors from gambling.

Time limit won't be effective because someone can bet a million dollar in single bet and lose all at once so instead of thinking that sites should stop the addiction why the individuals can't stop being ignorant with their actions.

I think even the posters or warnings that they post on their websites for players to be responsible gamblers are maybe because the regulations imposed on the casinos by the authorities and licensing firms, otherwise, they would probably not want anyone to be responsible with their money since they only earn money if the gamblers keep losing.

Casinos will literally run out of business if they start stopping gamblers after a certain point of losses and don't let them wager anymore only because they want to protect them from addiction or losing more money, they would never do that obviously.

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 [1] 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.

[2] 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.

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

[1] What you've described is technically fraud. Someone who is using someone else's identity without their permission would quickly be stopped in their tracks. Children who are gambling by using their parents ID and getting away with it in the long-term would be deplorable on the parents part and would be unlikely on the child's part (where would they get the money to continue?). I doubt that many friends are lending their ID's to their other friends for the sake of being able to gamble too.
[2] Introducing KYC and identity submission in order to be able to play is not a viable way to deter gambling. Those who are desperate to play will find a way, like you described above. Encouraging KYC and thus the violation of privacy that all users (even gamblers) deserve, is not a way to prevent addiction.

There are a number of casinos that provide rakeback and also have bonus prizes for active users, aka having a certain level, so why add that feature which will obviously hurt the casino after all there is no point in adding features that ultimately limit and remind gamblers to stop, the casino always make promotions and others so that gamblers continue to play all the time. then by adding a warning feature to stop or something else it is very contradictory.

We'll see if there are casinos who do that, I don't think there will be because the casino profits come from active gamblers including gambling addicts, it doesn't matter if they become addicts or not it's clear as long as they play and lose it's an advantage for the casino and the casino gives back prizes in the form of bonuses and rakeback, that's fair enough
Agree, every casino will definitely prioritize giving bonuses and the like to active gamblers who already have a certain level.
After all, anything that poses a risk to the gambler is not the responsibility of the casino.
Gambling addiction is a risk that must be faced by every gambler so that whatever happens, only the gambler can react or be held accountable.
Bonuses such as weekly or monthly and rakeback are given by the casino to gamblers depending on the level rating and also the number of bets used because the bigger the bonus and rakeback the greater the amount.
This is why many gamblers dare to spend more money to gamble because when they lose the casino still gives a small return.
So whether the gambler becomes addicted or loses this huge amount of money is his own fault.
And these features are not a feature that must be implemented by casinos.
Sure, casinos are all about the green. Caring for the gamblers? It's all part of the big game. But do they get a free pass on any damage to the gamblers? It's a hoot, isn't it?

Consider this: Casinos, like all businesses, gotta have some social responsibility. That means promoting smart gambling, stopping addiction. Isn't that the ticket, given that happy, healthy gamblers keep the wheels spinning?

Bonuses, a bit of loss return, it eggs folks on to gamble more. But should this be seen as a one-man show where the gambler carries all the risk? Time to poke the bear, ask some tough questions about the casino-gambler tango. A debate worth a thought, don't you think?

Time limit won't be effective because someone can bet a million dollar in single bet and lose all at once so instead of thinking that sites should stop the addiction.
I dont consider betting million dollars at one time as addiction, it is just you just have. lot of money which can make you bet that amount of money, addiction is something you can focus anymore on doing other things just because that thing is consuming a lot of your time and cannot make you think good anymore because of being addicted on which time limit might be useful in that case.

why the individuals can't stop being ignorant with their actions.
I know it is all part of the user or the gambler but then if they are already addicted they cannot think well anymore which may result in impulsive decisions, well this ia just an opinion that could help a gambler.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

3. Set a notification showing how long they've been playing.
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.

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.

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  ;D

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 (https://www.luckyblock.com/) , 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

From what I know, some casinos already require a selfie when going through KYC, but I guess the other casinos aren't doing the same because having fewer requirements would encourage gamblers to play on their site.

Some form of time restriction seems unnecessary for casinos, but as swogerino already mentioned, most casinos have self-exclusion, which is the better alternative to what you're asking for.

Receiving notifications about your playtime would be a good idea, but I doubt casinos would add such a feature when they prefer their gamblers to play as long as possible. I remember some games have this feature, but i'll ignore them anyway.

     -   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.

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 dont consider betting million dollars at one time as addiction, it is just you just have. lot of money which can make you bet that amount of money, addiction is something you can focus anymore on doing other things just because that thing is consuming a lot of your time and cannot make you think good anymore because of being addicted on which time limit might be useful in that case.
But it could be that betting millions of dollars is a gambling addiction, especially if we don't know the truth. But those who often bet with big money may not feel anything because it's normal for them. But not for those of us who never bet big money. Many things can cause gambling addiction, and it will be difficult to leave if we are already affected by it. And before gambling addiction came to us, it was better for us always to try to control ourselves and manage money to gamble.

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.

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.

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.
