How to self exclude from anonymous gambling sites

[CoinMin3r]

It surely will be hard to self exclude from gambling sites if one is so obsessed but it's not impossible too. As you said one trick is by locking all the funds somewhere making your pocket empty. Other thing one can do is by deviating mind from gambling to other entertaining things or sports, games(PC or mobile). So to do this one need strong will power and self confident. It may seem hard in the beginning but one thing is true "Time heal everything."

Yes if one can keep his entire consultancy in some other place of entertainment then he can keep himself away from gambling.  Gambling is an addictive thing and it is difficult but not impossible to keep yourself away from it.  Locking all your money somewhere may not always be a good strategy.  Because those who are addicted to gambling do not hesitate to borrow and gamble.  So if he keeps his own money locked somewhere then he borrows money from someone else and continues gambling.  But if he can get entertainment from some other medium then he can forget about gambling. thus he will be able to keep himself away from gambling

Using the self-exclusion feature requires effort to prevent the desire to return to gambling. If someone can't do it, he will return to gambling no matter what. He will not stop himself from gambling again and he can create a new account at another casino or his previous casino.

This is difficult to prevent unless he really wants to limit himself in gambling. Without any desire to take his mind off gambling, it won't work. He will return to gambling more and more often and continue gambling.

Many people have experienced this, but only a few have really succeeded in limiting themselves to gambling. Those of us who can still limit ourselves to gambling must be able to take care of ourselves. We know that gambling can tempt us to keep going back to gambling so we really have to have good self-control.

Exclusion would really be that useless if you are someone whose really that still having that kind of mindset on continuing to play gambling on which no matter what prohibitions that has been set but if you are someone who cant be able to stop about doing gambling then it would really be pointless or useless. This is why there are almost none platforms would really be that tending on offering such exclusion just because it is really just that useless if they would really be that having that feature then its good but if not then its not really that much of an issue. The thing that you would really be needing is only that self control
because you wont really be needing any of these features if you are really that serious on quitting or stopping or having some break with gambling.

Basically it's very simple.

You take a currency that requires 21 days for staking/unstaking, then you deposit this amount in Atomic Wallet, stake it and then you can't gamble with the crypto you're holding.

The locking (staking) is done with one single click of a button, and it's practically speaking, equivalent to activation of self-exclusion on an online gambling site with a click of a button (and yet not all sites offer it unfortunately).

For example, you stake (lock) $200 of your crypto, and that's all crypto available for you - then you can't play/gamble/risk it for at least 21 days ... do it 15 times a year time after time, and you would be excluded for a long time.

The only drawback with this method is Atomic doesn't offer this on USDT so some "gamblers" might not like this idea because they trust stablecoins more than other crypto coins, but this is FYI.

tell me more, i need to know about this

Well, one thing you said which I like so so much is "it may be hard in the beginning", of course things like this are always very hard in the beginning, most especially for those who are very deep in addiction to gambling, measures like excluding themselves from online casinos always look like it's impossible to do, and of course, there is actually a level to which a gambler will get addicted to gambling, it becomes totally impossible for that one to just wake up one morning and decide to self exclude him or herself from online casinos.

But on the other hand, for those gamblers who are still shallow in their gambling addiction level, it's very easy for those type of persons to self exclude themself from online casinos and be successful with it.

that means only one thing mate and that is depending about each gamblers attitude because if this is only about others plans towards
that said addicted gambler or if the gambler itself is wanted to truly
self excluded to stop himself being gambler .

In my country it is difficult enough to find a psychologist, but there is no serious problem with gamblers. May be we have enough other problems, to take care about gamblers, i don`t know. But I saw just two men who had problems with gambling. I know about the first of them - he lost all his money, divorced his wife, but began new life and(as i know) he is far from any type of casino. About the second I can say nothing - I`ve seen him about 6 years last time.
But i`m sure that it is only gamblers problem and he has to change his brains to understand that something is going wrong. Any kind of self exclude can`t help him.

I understand. There are some countries where some lines of work are scarce, but yet, in the most urban part of the country, I am sure that such service could still be easily found, only that the cost might not be comfortable. This is the main reason that the establishments relating to therapy and psychology are not so much booming in developing and third-world countries.

That said, I like to say that you might not be exposed to some facts of gambling issues compared to others, it all depends on the environment you are in and the kind of circle you keep. I am happy that you could still cite two examples, but I am sure that it will be worse elsewhere in the same country if you inquire about this. In as much as gambling is predominant in that country, you will always see the good, bad and ugly gamblers no matter what, and if you are not connected so well to some localities and personalities, you may never know.

Besides, I am still curious about the first example you gave here, are you saying the guy later got healed and stayed away from gambling or what? And could it be because he divorced his wife? I don't really get the gist, bro.

It is possible that i`m just far away from offline gambling and in online it is difficult enough to get some information about their problems or hobbies. So there are just two men with gambling problems who i know in real life. May be if i`ll become visit offline casinos, i`ll see more such addicts, but i don`t want it.

Oh, yes, prioritizing online gambling over offline gambling will not make you meet many physical people not to mention of knowing what is going on in their gambling life. Even if you did not meet them in person, if such gambling outlets are close to you, you will see some neighbours gambling, and from there you might be able to see for yourself and hear a few about their gambling lifestyle either from them or from people. From there as well, you might get to know what people are facing about gambling, especially those who are not using their common sense to do the right thing and be responsible in gambling.

About the first man. If i can believe him, he stopped only when lost his wife. Before it nothing could stop him. I know that several his friends include me talked with him about his problems with gambling, but it wasn`t interesting for him. And even when he divorced - he understood it later, about several weeks. Only after it he rebooted his life. I told it to show that it is difficult to help someone, who don`t see the problem. He need to get some sign to undestand it.

Oh, I see, the wife was forced to leave him due to his irresponsible gambling life? That is so possible, especially if the guy did not show concern for his family, particularly in the financial aspect of it. And yes, people may be tough to help when they are facing gambling issues, it is not until they are also willing to be helped that it will be easy for them. Can you see this guy, he learned his lesson the hard way, I don't just know why people will be wasting their lives away just to gamble. Why not moderate it?

There are no offline casinos in my city. Only several illegal. But everybody knows about it

I see him sometimes, but can`t say that it is my friend. I don`t ask him about his life before, but today he is ok. Has small business, a girlfriend, send some money to his son. And he doesn`t want even to play computer games. So, i think it was serious lesson for him.
I don`t know why someone spend so much time for gambling. I`m in sport betting, sometimes poker - it is enough.
