Crypto gambling websites need to add self-control functionality!

[Sadlife]

The gambling site should not be held accountable for the loss of a player, when a player first enter that kind of platform he should know in the first place what are the risk in playing gambling games.

Gambling is high risk, high reward, Never gamble the money you can't afford to loss cause that's when you tend to get emotional in wanting to take it back.

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.

I feel the same, the site release many bonus, discount and prize to keep member stay and sometimes they give us winning point. Never doubt gambling is huge business and create many job and taxes for country and industry but limit for play should become regulation before more people get poor because addicted gambling. Make gambling for fun not income, stay realistic and never use loan money for gambling.

The thing is they want you to stay around on Stake.com where I have an active account they continously send me bonuses, giveaway just so I can comeback to play in their site, they are in the business of making money and for gamblers to have some fun, you cannot obliged them to limit your time in their site, because the profit will stop by then.

Exactly, blaming the gambling site for your loses is not acceptable, blame ourselves as we are the one making the decision every time we put our bet.

Sites that offers "self exclusion" to help gamblers control themselves should be appreciated but that is just an extra, majority of the sites does not offer the same as they are in a business, no personal relationship between the gambler and the site, its just the system that the gamblers are trying to beat and that system is almost unbeatable that's why casinos stays longer and profitable.

Gambling is high risk, high reward, Never gamble the money you can't afford to loss cause that's when you tend to get emotional in wanting to take it back.

That's the first rule every gambler should know.

So easy to say but very difficult to apply. Most of those gamblers known this fact since from the start they are just enjoying while playing their favorite games. After some period of engagement and suffered from unavoidable loses, that will triggered the problem and push gamblers to make wild decisions
and make a big changes from their gambling activities.

You need to practice self discipline in order not to engaged that much from this kind of activities.

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

Most websites actually state at the bottom of the page that anybody who thinks they have a gambling problem should seek counseling or therapy.

The thing is, even if people do self-impose a restriction, there is little in the way stopping them from simply creating another account, or playing at a different casino when they reach the limit.

KYC requirements are rarely a thing for crypto casinos, so that barrier just isn't there. I really cant see how it would be effective unless all the differnt popular casinos share records and work together to enforce this, which just aint going to happen.

[robelneo]

They will not comply because it means restricting their profit and they are a profit-driven company, they will even shower you with a giveaway, bonus and a lot perks so just you keep on playing in their dashboard, I have never seen a government that does that when it comes to gambling everyone is to each own.

[iamsheikhadil]

I agree, many sites however do have this feature with them. Like many sites do offer self ban and self exclusion, the only disadvantage is no one is going to stop someone from opening another account if they wanna play later again! xD

Though keeping gambling sites from having a self-control functionality or alert will be better for them in the long run. Since this allows the customer/player to still go home with money on his pocket to multiply. Giving that person enough encouragement to try his luck once again in gambling, from there, it all depends on whther the player wins or loses.

Gambling is high risk, high reward, Never gamble the money you can't afford to loss cause that's when you tend to get emotional in wanting to take it back.

It won't stop their customers from coming back since the money lost will drive them back into gambling to win back their losses. It's just ensuring that these people that are patronizing their services still have something to eat every day.

It sounds like a good idea you have right there! It seems like it has the same idea with the smoking warning that can be seen on the cigarette pockets. A simple warning so the people would be aware of what consequences they might be in if they decide to abuse it.  It might help a lot of people not to blame the gambling businesses for the consequences they will be involved in. Nevertheless, it is a protection for both parties in the gambling business sector such as the casino and the user, as well. Probably we could petition this but all in all that was a good job for the solution.

[mbakruroh]

Rich not came from gambling but if built gambling as business that's the right answer. We can deny gambling is popular game with huge money circulation, everyone want their part and some of them use dirty tricks. As user we should wise and take good action like you, close account and never come back again. Take control your money and use clear mindset to see gambling is not your future and leave is the best thing you can do.

The bottom line is to not expect anybody other than you to help you with this and especially not casinos which are only looking out for people like yourself and others to profit from. I'm afraid you have to maser the strength to do it or else it may get too problematic for you. Perhaps, thinking about the reasons why you're doing it and the benefits it would bring you if you're not spending all your money on gambling

Only you can stop you, a feature in that in an online casino is not yet possible, self control is needed in order for you not to lose too much, descipline yourself also ,make a limit , for example after 6hrs of playing you will stop and rest, whether you are winning you need to stop but when experience losing streak after 3hrs of playin ,you need to stop. In that case you will have a self control that you are wanting OP.

There are some positive and negative effect of your suggestion although generally it's a great idea but since cryptocurrency related gambling casinos are mostly online, getting a verification that the individual intending to close the account is actually the owner wouldn't be an easy task since an account can be hacked and closed without the owner of the account having any knowledge. Therefore the initial step of contacting support is still recommended in my opinion.

This can also lead to misunderstanding better the house and the customers since account with funds can be mistakenly deleted and it might not be recoverable, which will lead to the affected individual spreading the fud of the casino been a scam casino, spoiling (staining) the reputation of the casino in the process.

You should know that gamblers should play at their own risk, gambling sites are a profit-driven company that, they do not interfere on the motivation of the gambler all they want is for players to play a longer time and adding more funds in their dashboard and chase for their win.

Yeah right, I think only myself has the full limits. The fact is that if someone gambles and then they are within the limits of gambling, they can still gamble with other accounts, it is all because they cannot control themselves. I think what @OP said isn't entirely true, because the best limits are gambling management and emotional management.

[coinfinger]

Why would people not do it on their own? In your example, you can completely try to avoid the platform which you asked for a closure because what I think it you might not gain access back to the platform once the support team deletes your account. But yes, this might be useful for the ones who are highly addicted towards gambling.

Gambling is a source where most of the people lose all of their funds but some on contrary turn out to be millionaires and billionaires just with the help of gambling. Yes, they might have a strong luck factor behind them though. But for the rest of the people who really want to stay away from gambling but their addiction never allows them to do the same, they could use such self-control functions if introduced.

Account deletion will not really help. It is easy to create an account once that person decides to take gambling again.

The process will just repeat; register-play-stop-request for delete account-register-play-stop-request for delete account and so on. No one can help us to stop our gambling habit, not even with the cooperation of gambling sites. These sites are promoting anyone to gamble, not to stop users from doing gambling. If anyone decided to stop, they really need to be serious in doing this and forced themselves not to see any sites related to gambling while they are browsing on the web.

[LbtalkL]

This is not about the gambling website it is about yourself on how you can control it. You can always delete or email the support to delete your account but that is not the solution you can always create a new account or register to a new site. I think you need to control yourself and have self-discipline.
No matter how I look at it, If you really want it you are still coming back and create another account.  The best solution is to tell your wife or husband what you are doing so she can stop you from it and keep nagging you all day, maybe it will help.

[Botnake]

Definitely, you nailed it mate.

I've done that in the past, I put my account into self exclusion for months IIRC, but later I realized I also want to gamble again so I decided to create a new account since most of the crypto gambling sites here does not require a KYC, then I started gambling again, so you are right it's about self control and not the gambling sites to be blame here.

This would help a lot of people around the globe to maintain control over their asset and help them set the right thing to do in case when the limit have been reached. But, I think this would be hard to be implemented because, I think, it would mean less opportunity for the gambling organizers to earn more profit, it is either they would implement it themselves' which is less possible, or a regulating body would take charge.
