Crypto gambling websites need to add self-control functionality!

[Janation]

I think they will not be able to control it.

I am playing a game in the past and there is this functionality in there. I am kind of addicted to it so when they approved of this functionality, I am so annoyed by it. What I did is created a lot of accounts so I can avoid being away to that game. If this will be the case into gambling sites, that will be harder to control and I think gamblers themselves should control themselves since it is their responsibility. People will just find a way to gamble since there will be a lot of sites out there that will not apply this so they can take advantage of the people that just want to gamble their money dai and day out.

Any casino can put any restriction or prohibition they can to comply with the law or to prevent gamblers from getting addicted, but it is still up to the gambler. They can pass it by creating multiple accounts and etc. It still falls on the gambler not any program or settings a casino has.

Casino wants to gamblers to keep on gambling because it is business, it is really ironic that they will need to add a function to control gamblers in their platform.

[Darker45]

Although it all boils down to the gambler's self-discipline and self-control ultimately, I agree that crypto gambling sites should consider this option. It is always easier to click on the tab and type your favorite site or click on its icon than say "No, I won't gamble today." So I guess this would be a very big help to limit gamblers' hours.

For sure, with this self-exclusion option, there would be more time with the kids and the wife and friends and other hobbies. Yes, you can always go around this with creating new accounts, use of VPN, going into another site, and so on but when you open your favorite sites and all of them say you cannot play on this particular hour or day, that's enough to remind you that "Hey, spend time with other things for now!" And you might end up watching movies with your kids.

Even if your casino will add such functionality I doubt it would help if you are one of those gambling addicts as all you have to do is to create another account or find another casino.
As you said, it's called self-control meaning you should control your self and not ask others to do it for you

The most essential and the most crucial thing here in this topic is you yourself only. With proper management and limitations, you can see that you will decrease your losses because you have to urge to limit yourself. But on the other hand, for those people who can't do that, the casino needs to implement such functionality because if they know that people sucks in controlling their emotion, the casino it self will do something about it. Don't just create multiple accounts, find a casino but do it with such a break. Try to do gambling between a month or two so that you can rest before playing again in a certain casinos. Value your wallets and accounts so that you don't have to create and create several times.

Correct since why on earth the gambling site would create that functionality since as the matter for fact it's a business the more time spent and money is more profit to the site owner so better to have discipline since we are the one who can put the decision to stop and have guts into it.

Maybe some helpful methods is to limit our bankrolls and we should not refill it once it's drained.

Lately, I've been gambling a bit too much again and it's impossible to add limits to most crypto gambling websites.
Heck, I've found it to be impossible to just remove your account, without contacting support.

I think it should be mandatory, or at least standard, to include easy ways to prevent members from gambling.
In my country (Belgium), legal gambling websites are required to have player-imposed limits, plus general limits on their websites.
I wish crypto-based gambling websites would do the same.

Anyway, I've just sent an e-mail to the one casino I was still playing on, to close down my account. I hope they'll do that without any issue.
But still, I wish they would just add a function to do it by yourself, or add some self-control functionality.

I.e. let people exclude themselves for X amount of time

You need to have a self descipline , because if you don't you will be having a big losses and it could cause you a lot of trouble, you need to do that in order for you to protect yourself as well, there could be an  app that you may use, I don't think if it will useful but Promodoro app is used for studying, you should try that as well, I am using it for me to get a rest after a game for me to clear my mind and play again.

If someone is a gambling addict he could just create another account and start all over again on a different casino. It doesn't really solve the problem. It's like hiding money or candy from yourself by putting it in another pocket. You still know where it is and how to get to it. Unless you deal with the root problem and try to get rid of the addiction you will just find your ways around restrictions.

There is a very little chance that they will add that kind of functions or limits especially if they are looking for more profits.

Meaning if there are more customers then profits will surely grow and if they will add a close button function in their websites or gambling limits then their number of customers will drastically drop down anytime because of this function as anyone can easily close their account if they will get frustrated with their loss.

I'm pretty sure stake.com lets you do this.

But honestly, how is this going to help? The abundance of gambling sites in the cryptospace and the fact that they don't require any KYC/AML for most of them mean that you're always able to open up another account if you get the urges to do so.

At the end of the day, what matters is your own thoughts. Limiting yourself or self-excluding doesn't do much given the fact that if you do get the urge to gamble again, you can always find a way to do so, and it's way easier than physical casinos.

[Rosilito]

It's a good addition, even just a simple reminder would do. But the thing with gambling sites and operations is that they are also a business, and they want more profit, and thus, they lure you to this swirling trap of addiction that is difficult to get out off.

The practice isn't just used in online gambling, but also in traditional casino gambling, where the ambience is set to hype you up and forget about time cycles. Same idea, just different execution.

If I knew it correctly, casinos are set to be in red ambiance, and having no clock or even windows it was designed to boost individuals and not to be reminded on how long they've been there and how much they have lose. Quite selfish, but it is what it is. Ain't no business that want their customer to limit themselves on having transaction itself, right? Because they built in order to get you - gamblers, with their platforms. And I agree to the man above, since you knew how to limit yourself, then, there is still nothing wrong to be reminded. Well, pity those who didn't.

[hello_good_sir]

I wouldn't doubt that a lot of crypto casinos would be prepared to delete your account for you and/or exclude you from their services if you do request to them manually.

So what is needed is a systematic way of doing this that does not require manual intervention.

Without regulatory oversight this is going to be extremely difficult, since casinos have no incentive to do this. Perhaps some sort of crypto gambling organisation (pretty sure that there is already one) can provide the necessary regulations for self-exclusion in the future.

But what it ultimately comes down to is your own attitude, and no amount of self exclusion will help you if you take gambling the wrong way.

Customers are always there so that profits are also coming to you no matter what. They have certain limits while playing gambling but people are making multiple accounts so that they continue to play. Gambling addicts are very sensitive when it comes to a casino. So if there's some errors in your casino, they will find some casinos that are suitable for their preferences and you're casino will left behind. That's why most of the casinos are fixing their errors immediately so that customers are satisfied with the service.

[jhonjhon]

That’s impossible you know, gambling website creators make money if more and more people gambling so why would they make it easy for gamblers to remove there account? Removing an account or putting the self-control button that will prevent gamblers from gambling will mean they are reducing their potential profit thus, no gambling website will ever do that. Wether we like it or not, the owners are only looking about their profits and they don’t really care about the gamblers well being.

[buwaytress]

That does suck, man. Now that you mentioned it, it is one of the shortcomings of crypto platforms compared to fiat, that you can't add self-exclusion. On the other hand, the sites I frequent are happy to properly block you (both username and IP in case you change usernames or accounts).

I do agree with you, that it should be easily doable on one's own. I know addiction's a bit tough to handle but in tiny moments of sanity if they're able to self-exclude, it might just save them.

Hope you're all right, bud.

@magneto you do have a point, that someone desperate enough might just circumvent his own block but it does make them think twice. I personally know someone who blocked himself and we were good friends. He could easily VPN himself on a new account but just that fact that he'd be doing it and not on his own name, makes him not do it. I can't explain it but being able to exclude yourself CAN help. It's not foolproof for sure but it is one way to help yourself.

[Baby Dragon]

Is it accurate to say that it's simply the gamblers commitment to control themselves? You can't just rely on the casino sites to modify when it is their approach to acquire benefit. If you're afraid on ending up feeling remorse and getting addicted in gambling then you should confine yourself, you should realize how to deal and oversee yourself. It's simply a matter of educating yourself since gambling won't assure you anything, it can give constructive and antagonistic effect on an individual if they don't have an idea about their own restriction. Why not make an effort to change your mentalities with regards to gambling? in that way you will easily comprehend and acknowledge how you can resolve your personal issues from gambling addiction.

How could a website implement this efficiently? Crypto gaming is mostly anonymous and you could just create an new account afaik. It won't matter in the end. Better self control because it is not in the interest of the house to help you control yourself.

It wont really be putted on a gambling sites feature.Who the hell would consider it out? As said gambling sites are businesses and its impossible
for them to put up limits or restrictions towards to their players.Its totally contradictory because they do much prefer for people to stay long
on their site as long they do have the money since they do know that they can make out profits and when it comes to the talks of self control
then it will all depend on the player itself.It has nothing to do with the house.

It's up to you really, if they close your account what is the guaranty that you will not open a new account, when it comes to gambling prevention and control should stop from the gambler, they can just give you warning but the control and how you behave should be up to you, not on the gambling site.

[Findingnemo]

But,do you think these features can stop anyone from his gambling habit,if he wanted then he can open a new account or just find the similar legit gambling sites when he is not been able to control his addiction towards gambling.

Imo it depends on the gambler's addiction and how severe it is, some of us have accounts on different bitcoin casinos but if you're excluded in your favorite casino then it can be blocked. I think having self exclusion can help temporarily but most gamblers wouldn't use it since there might be better solutions for them.

One who can control their addiction towards gambling might not in need of this feature because if they wanted to stop they can stop it straightaway.

And one who can't stop themselves will not stop anyway by having this feature so this might be useless IMHO.

[Tipstar]

I'm too in favor of this. They need to at least provide a lock function where the user can lock their coins for a certain amount of time or one that releases a fixed amount of coins every day while locking other. The largest loss I've made is due to rage bet. For example, if I start with 100 and go upto 1000 and down to 200, I'm very likely to go all in than realizing that I have 100% profit.
