Crypto gambling websites need to add self-control functionality!

[maydna]

~snip~

We all know that playing gambling can satisfy our selves to have fun and to play gambling some of the player today goes play all day because they are now focusing to the earnings on gambling even they know it is riskier still they want to play those games because they are confident they will win the game and earn a lot of profit they use gambling as their job for a while to collect. Still, there are people who wants to play gambling because they want to make extra money and enjoy the game. Playing gambling is too hard to stop, but still, we need to control ourselves to avoid having trouble to our time management while playing we did not recognize how many hours we spent on playing it is better to control and monitor the same with the money we spent too to avoid losing a considerable amount of money.

If they are focusing only on the earnings, they will risk their money in gambling because they cannot make that earning. They are playing gambling because they see other people can get the win money, and that is why they follow them and try to get the winning. If you have control for yourself, you don't have to feel it is hard to stop because you will find that you can stop anytime without a problem. I agree that we need to manage our time in gambling, so we don't spend time too long.

that is what exactly i am pointing,Gamblers will always Find way to gamble even if there is features like this because it is their money that being risk and their life that getting worst so why need to cover for their wanting?
i think what we all need is a proper information about what and how really gambling works.
it is not the way we see it as profiteering place instead it is the other way around so better not to risk our life but just enjot the game.

I am sure the gambler will get what they want because they will search the other way to still playing gambling. So far, when people are playing gambling, they don't seek that information because their reason for playing gambling is only searched for fun and try to kill their time. And as time goes by, they slowly become addicted to gambling, but they don't seek the information about protecting themselves in gambling. So that makes them become heavy addicted to gambling, and they will be hard to cure the addicting.

There's a hundred of gambling website's out there so basically what are you asking is easy to do yet, useless. Imagine if you close your account then your mind feels like to play, you can easily create a new account on every single gambling website here on the internet and continue playing. What you need to do is control yourself on gambling addiction. Little by little, lower the time that you are spending on gambling website's or simply gambling and as time passes by, I am sure that you are controlling yourself to stop on gambling when you want. It's not easy, but I think every individual can do it.

No mechanism or system can stop human for doing what they are addicted to, so I think you should focus on yourself development with regards to gambling, This closing account feature will not be useful (for me). I believe that the majority of the gamblers will agree with me.

Don't you think this is sarcastic? I mean, how can someone going to have his self-development if he keeps playing gambling. As you mentioned above, an addicted person would do anything to feed his addiction, and that being said, it means that in order for him to create something in his life that will benefit him in the long run, he should closed his account or stop playing gambling for good also.

Because to be honest, implementing the self-control functionality in a gambling site would make the gambling addiction problem even more chaotic than before.

For me having self control is one way to achieve your goal and icreases decision making capacity. When we practice self-control it becomes easy to us to decisions because our minds swap to simpler process. And I think when we do it regularly there is a better chance at being able to move past and they avoid situations in which they have to choose between desires.

In order for us to have self-control, we should first focusing in our intrapersonal skill which is skill talking to yourself because it is a way in order to improve our psychology when we do gambling. Most of our decisions are base on our emotions, if we have self control then we can have proper decisions and avoid mistakes in gambling. Addiction can also be avoided if we focus on improving our self control and enhancing our psychology when we do gambling.

I just received a notification on this and this is really a good option I just wonder how many members of Stake are going to use this feature.

[mu_enrico]

Yea, I have received the email from Stake as well.

I started to like Stake with the responsible gambling campaign and the Sportsbet functionality, even when the site design is not appealing for me. I hope more and more casinos would add similar features to ensure the sustainability of the gambling ecosystem. I mean, it would be better if gamblers could play for a long period instead of one-off gung ho that could put them in trouble and never play again.

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

Gamblers tend to surpass their limits whenever they feel good or frustrated that's why adding a self control functionality would definitely help a lot most specially to those who have severe addiction. Instead of gambling sites being too greedy, they should instead mind their players monetary status so that they can still keep on gambling without experiencing bankruptcy. Anything that is too much in this world can destroy you that's why self control is a must and shouldn't be ignored by everyone most specially for the gamblers.

If you want to close down your account then you do not really need to do anything but to change the password of your account to some random numbers and letters and do the same with the email account linked to it and that will get rid of the account, now about the functionality to put limits to your gambling activity that will be a great idea but unless those casinos are forced by the law to implement that I have my doubts we are going to see that feature in cryptocurrency casinos.

I think a lot of gambling sites don't have this feature because they want us to keep gambling. By law they just need to have a disclaimer about responsible gambling. Almost every site has this which protects them from being sued but I do agree with you that there should be more done to help people who can't keep control of their spending. I know some sites have lock out periods or a pop up comes up saying that you reached your limit and to take a break if that's the settings you have set. Its just that not all sites have this especially crypto gambling sites but I think this will all change in the future.

Do they    Isn't it all up to the player? The role of a casino is to provide games and entertainment for you in every shape and form they can, and with this in mind then why would they not profit from the "weak-minded" players? I don't see a casino adding this feature any time soon as it would limit their potential profit which is their main agenda, rather than making sure their customers are not betting more than they can afford to.

They wouldnt really care at all in the first place and yes, why would they create or mind too much into their players for them to play even more? This is what their own motive or goal
and making things which would contradict to their main aim sounds pretty dumb.Its only up to the player on how he do handle out themselves and gambling sites/houses wont really care
if you bet on moderation or impulsive behavior.

Results or consequences will really vary or depend on how a certain person will deal about his gambling activity.

[romero121]

Here it is much focused upon the limiting of one's spending on gambling. When the time isn't that supportive for the player if he have pressed the particular button he can't continue playing for specific time period. This is good, but such a feature won't be added easily by the casinos as each and everything is connected with some business. Already the same thing but to limit the spending there is possible way to hold in vault. The funds stored in vault can't be accessed directly. The required amount needs to be moved to the main wallet and further only it can be used.

This way if we can hold what is available to be lost and limit the spending.

Yep,

The only easy way for casinos to implement this would be if a third-party service creates it and provides it to all the major casinos.

However, casinos make money from players losing, so I doubt there is much incentive to add this service.

It's not a casinos fault if players lose money, they also stand the chance to win after all.

Players should have their own willpower.

Also received that email where you can ban yourself for a period of time, I don't think it will apply for compulsive gambler because they have this will come back and win this time attitude, only responsible gamblers can impose that, but I'm glad Stake.com has something like this, other gambling site should follow their lead.

This wont really be effective anytime yet if you do able to consider on using up this feature it means you are already on the verge of addiction and since you do know that you can access to gamble again once you open it once again which means this is much a pretty useless feature if you ask me but at least they are showing something some concern or care to their players but deep inside they do really hope for playing even more.
Third parties are usually offering this kind of service but i dont really see for this to be effective because gamblers dont approach for help or even doesnt accept nor realize that they are already got addicted.
The more addicted gamblers the more profit could it bring to houses and stopping it is nonsense.

It's not really going to be effective and they just want it for those who wants but it will not help those who are habitual gambler, they will just ignore it and continue playing the game as if it's not existing, but I still commend Stake for installing this, I remember one time I said after losing that I am not going to play for a week but I still play if you have that, you can make it happen.

[mu_enrico]

You missed the whole picture dude.

Addiction is good from the business perspective, but overdose is bad. For example:
- Addicted to donut is good, but diabetes is bad;
- Addicted to fried chicken is good, but heart attack is bad, etc.

To reap sustainable profit, casinos should maintain a healthy gambling community so that they can continue to gamble in the long run. The stop or cooldown feature is useful so that users don't get "overdose." It's also nice for marketing purposes. I agree that the stop feature might not be effective, but at least they tried.

Gambling is not bad if you can still control yourself from it if it doesn't cause you to forget to do more valuable things if it doesn't consume most of your time spending only on gambling and if it doesn't prompt for you to lose money. If one of which already took you, then that is the time when you should stop the gambling, if you have a feeling of being addicted on gambling then you should do some ways to prevent it, then find Alternatives to Gambling, you may do some physical activities, meditation, traveling, spending time on your family, something like that, it is better from being addicted on gambling because that is healthy living that we all should have. Addicts have to avoid environments that lead to gambling. Stay away from casinos, race tracks, poker games, or anything else that might remind or tempt you. Cut bad influences out of your life. Take away sources for financing your habit by giving your spouse or someone else control of your money. Still, if those things do not work, then try to visit some Health care professional or psychiatrist. They will help you to prevent being addicted to gambling. They will teach you how to focus on other things. There are so many reasons for you to stop being addicted, and you may try it all if you are motivated to change your lifestyle.

[swogerino]

I agree that every reputable crypto gambling casino should have an option to let you lock out yourself of your account.In fact I think that this option should be definitive and if you try to register again at this casino your are not allowed,this option should be like “a ban forever” for the user.
