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

If I understand it correctly, you want crypto-gambling sites to somehow add some feature wherein they will limit their users to play gambling or totally stop them from doing it? Why crypto-gambling sites should consider doing that? Those legal gambling websites you have mentioned are complying with the laws that's why it is mandatory for them to have that feature. The same practice were also present here. However, crypto-gambling sites, although some of them are promoting responsible gambling, should not be prioritized doing that for the sake of saving their users fall on the gambling trap. Although adding that feature should be fine. The fact that we can still stop ourselves means we are still in control. No need for account deletion or something along those lines if a person is really determined to stop doing gambling.

I had frozen my account for 6 months because I noticed that I was often betting on sportingbet for a while. I think it's the kind of restriction you're talking about. But can we say that this is suitable for decentralization? I do not think so.

I think it was not really necesary for them because its a business for them. It was just a normal thing for them if the website doesnt have this kind of features since they wanted people to play in gambling for sure because it is all about money for sure,the more people play in their website the more the profit they were gonna get for sure so I think, they are not going to put this limit feature some how.

Very true! You can always create a new one even if you delete the old one. But there are some casino sites that they prohibit the use of multi-accounts. So by any chance that he will create a 2nd one, that account may be banned and freeze whatever is in it. Most of the gambling sites will not have that kind of functionality as they want gamblers to spend their money on their site. They might give warning about gambling addiction but that's all. After all, these casinos are meant to rip off money from the players. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

It is required in your country because those online casinos are regulated by laws. Crypto casinos mostly remain unregulated, thus adding such measures isn't necessary. Moreover, casinos make profit from this kind of users. Adding option to restrict their own user from gambling will just make them casino lose the opportunity to make more profit. Even if they did allow users to trigger such options, there will be users that will want to change the limit or turn off the limit after they have reached the maximum. They would start spamming the support and might even start ranting if support denies to turn off the option.

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 ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

The much simple, quick and basic idea. Up to this lol. OP if you want to change for good, the site features about self-control shouldn't be a big issue. You can force yourself to stay away from these sites. Don't take that the reason that you can still access the site that's why your gambling habit continues. You created this thread and that means everything is under control. You can also ignore the gambling section of the forum for you to totally get rid of any gambling connections here.

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.

Self-control functionality would be all useless if a certain individual is heavily addicted.Why? they would still find ways for you to play. Banned IP? Simply use VPN. Banned account? You can create new. Also, for a gambling business its unlikely for them to block out or making things on moderation yet we know that these are businesses which do concerns about making profit and limiting or restricting because they are concerned about addiction then it isnt really common.

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. Even if they did allow users to trigger such options, there will be users that will want to change the limit or turn off the limit after they have reached the maximum. They would start spamming the support and might even start ranting if support denies to turn off the option.
Also it can be used against the casino, there was an old problem with a sportsbet user that asked for a self exclusion and complained due to a pending bet that almost won.

When playing in gambling casinos it's always been gambling at your own risk, they can put a warning sign but when it comes to limiting their players I don't think they will be obliged to do that unless there's a regulation imposed on them to do that gambling casinos allow members to play as much as they want in a fund that they allocate and it's none of their business if you lose.

That's always a matter of self control and discipline, because if you let gambling controls you nothing will improve in your life. You tend to drown in the long run and couldn't help it but become more addicted. Addiction isn't difficult to stop, as long as you're having the desire to stop gambling step by step. Before deciding that, it should be done seriously and alibis isn't a reason why it wasn't achieved.

Similar to locking yourself up from your account so you won't have to login and try to gamble or even think about it. I agree on this suggestion though I don't think many gambling operators would take up the pitch to add the functionality within their sites. Unless there will be a law within their country that obligates to do so, this wouldn't see the light of day as who would want to lose profits on their business right?
But yeah, I do hope some implements this kind of thing. It helps chronic gamblers get off the screen and try to live life away from gambling even just for a day or two.

A betting limit should be fine but for a crypto-gambling site to add self-control functionality, I think it's too much. Gamblers should already know some of the consequences they will face once they allow themselves to withdraw and commit to doing gambling.
I don't know the difference of how it's difficult to just don't visit those gambling sites compare clicking the remove or disable the account.
And it will not totally give a long-term solution. It is easy to create another account to make for a comeback.

Add some features on the gambling website will be possible to do by the admin of the site, but I guess they won't do that since they want to get the money from the members. But self-control will be our responsibility in the gambling games because we have that money, and we control our money in gambling. If you don't want to lose much money, then you must have the self-control to gamble, so you don't have to lose much money.
I think if you don't play gambling on that site for a long time, the system will automatically set your account for inactive because you don't have any activity in your account. Sending an email to the admin or support system to freeze or close your account will be a good idea if you want to leave or stop playing gambling.

To be friggin fair, the gamblers are the ones at fault, not the gambling site. It's a matter of your own judgment of how you would gamble every day, and the site is only responsible as a medium. See, if you were someone below the legal age, sure, sites may include that in their terms where
"After playing continuously for x amount of hrs in a week, the site will now block you from gambling for x amount of hrs."
That would be helpful in managing those below of age that is gambling. Of course, legal IDs are required for an account to be registered to be above 18, so that would fix some of the loopholes found in there. Not to mention, there are also other countless ways for one to indulge in gambling, so yep. Something what OP might have said could be helpful in some way, but the fundamental problem wouldn't really be fixed/removed.
