That's a good feature for a site but at the end it's up to someone if he would take it or not. Especially in online, such thing should be done personally. If it's just in online, things might not fully work and ended up owner is just wasting money, it's all about business after all. For me, addiction can only help mainly by yourself, others are guide.

..., so these things are useless.
ExactlySo whats the point of providing? Another tool for casinos to say that they have advantage over others? ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Untill or unless the gambler realises that he has a gambling addiction and really wants to stop it , he can't control himself from gambling. Self-Exclusion in online platforms are useless if the person again goes out of control at early point.
IMO best course of action should be to help the user's with some blogs or readings about controlling their addiction in brief.

I think most of the sites have a hyper link to gambling addicts or need help kind of services but those are not directly related to the casinos. They’re more like NGO based organisations and casino doesn’t really put something from their site. However, they do promote help for the gambling addicts and that’s important. A forum just for crypto gambling addicts is much desirable at this point.
A forum for gambling addict will be useful as well. But I wonder why you prefer crypto based forum for the addicts. I think they will get thesame experience from both non crypto forum for addicts and crypto forum for addicts

How can online gambling sites deal with gambling addiction?
It is hard until the player admits for themselves that they are an addict to gambling. Even if a gambling site put a feature that gamblers can find a counselor and talk to them it will be pointless until a person admits to his own addiction. yes I agree with you addiction will came only for the person who had a lots of interest and time to spend with can be so there is no other responsibility will came for the addition of a single person.

I think it is difficult to implement because in a sense there is 2 different paths for a business. You want the clients to play more obviously, but at the same time to be ethical and stop addicted players you must prevent them from playing more.
I have personally seen good admins in bitcoin casinos talk to problem players and work it out personally. Like they lock their accounts only to let them chat but not gamble.

Ok, the best suggestion I saw to resolve this issue is some link on the gambling site to a gambling addiction website that deals with gambling addictions. Another good idea, might be to add a chat option on the site, where people can reach out for help, if they cannot cope with their gambling addiction. <I would hope that the person on the gambling side, had some training to deal with gambling addiction> Why do gambling sites need to deal with this? It is quite simple, if you ruin some persons financial life, they stop gambling. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) <You want them to enjoy the experience and you want them to constantly come back to the site.>

It's not in gambling sites' interest to fight against gambling addiction. Oppositely it seems they do their best to support it. Free spins and different kind of bonuses can be a prove for that.

They could do it by setting up limits for losses but this would allow people to sue them. If you lost 100 thousand dollars and wanted to play some more to earn the money back but they wouldn't let you it would be reason enough to sue them.
They could count the time you spend on their site and suspend your account for a day or two but this would also be a stupid idea. If you forgot to log off and went to bed the timer would keep ticking and eventually ban you.

I know "Brick n Mortar" casinos have special counseling and advisors on call for people with gambling addiction and they also apply some measures for the gamblers with a gambling addiction to "ban" themselves. How can online gambling sites deal with gambling addiction? The Brick n Mortar" gambling sites have a social responsibility and local licensing requirements that need to be adhered to for them to operate in a specific country or town, so they cannot avoid doing this. Please give your inputs and ideas on how this can be done with online gambling sites. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Online activities really addictive, even simple Facebook can make us addicted what more is gambling online, so it is really hard to avoid or even limit ourselves through gambling online even if they have a limit for bets if they still want to play they will still continue playing using other account or they can have multiple accounts right? So it now really depends on a gambler on how they will ban themselves from getting addicted.

I am curious as well. They may be ignoring the problem in order not to lose customers. Anyway they aren't the only addictive businesses that ignore addiction problems.
The Online gambling could simply add a warning about addiction including links for treatment and prevention.
I find it hard to understand how would they do it since in the first place they have worked hard just get a lot of people but when someone starts to complain about addiction I don't think they have to tell them to stop playing in our platform. Though BnM has the right to do it since it is required upon taking licenses.

All of this the answer is self discipline to avoid addicting while playing in any kind of gambling online casino or playing in land, even if there have counseling if the people have nothing discipline it's the way to become addicting.

Not all gambling sites do their best though as one user pointed out online casinos do have a link about gambling addiction making everyone aware of it. Free spins or any kind of promotion is not a proof that a online casinos encourages gambling addiction, they're only doing their best to attract more gamblers. There's a possibilty that someone could be addicted through it but without a real evidence(stats) I wouldn't say so.

I haven't encountered yet an online casino limiting the games of their players just because they noticed the trend behavior of that person. It is really up to the gambler how he will control himself into this addiction. It would be nice if there are online casino sites doing personal check and balance of their players thru their bets and time spent on their site. But I highly doubt that would ever happen.

You cannot simply discount this problem as a non-issue and blame the individual for their actions. Every industry has a social responsibility to ensure that their product and service are safe to use. This is why we are seeing compulsory warning signs on tobacco products and also alcohol products. They also know that excessive gambling addiction will cause more harm than good to the whole gambling industry, because regulators will step in to protect the consumers, if this goes unchallenged.

Addicted gamblers would never accept they are suffering from addiction in the first place, so how do they expect them to ban themselves. If this site actually cares about addicted gamblers, they would be able to know gamblers who are suffering from addition from their history and then auto ban them, and also request that they seek professional help. But, I have the feelings that most of these sites make more money from those addicted gamblers and they will find it difficult to put measures in place to automatically ban an addicted gambler and advise them to look for help.

The gambling sites will not provide any kind of prevention for addiction show the people who are addicted will definitely the problem is on his side so without addiction for everyone is not possible but making without addicting to gambling is possible by everyone.

I know that Crypto-Games allows players to contact them when they have problems with gambling addiction and they'll ban that player's IP address if they want it. I think there are perhaps other casinos that offer similar arrangements, but I personally can't think of any examples.
The least that casinos should offer is a link to gambling addiction resources or a helpline. Most of them do that luckily.

It depends on each of the gamblers, the personality possessed by the gambler will determine whether they can avoid addiction or not. This must be understood because every gambler must be able to control emotionally well. Addiction is a problem, but when a gambler has a special formula for doing good management, they will be able to avoid addiction by themselves.

It is also very important for the gambling sites to interview the members in other to find out if someone is addicted to gambling.
