Crypto gambling websites need to add self-control functionality!

[South Park]

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.

Some fiat casinos have that feature, however they did not added that feature because they wanted they were basically forced by the government to do it and if regulations were to appear then cryptocurrency casinos will need to do it, personally I do not think it will make a huge difference especially in this market where most casinos do not require any kind of KYC to create an account, so even if a gambler has decided for the time being to not gamble and use that feature he could always create a new account without any problem and gamble that way.

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.

If there's a feature tool like that then whoever wanted to make a break will benefits from such system though you are correct with habitual or addicted gamblers it won't change any once they've already inside the house, they will just ignored this stuff and continue playing even up to losing everything inside their bankroll.

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

I do not think that a gambling website will do that thing. The one who wins the game in any gambling website is the one who creates it or the owner of the website because I am pretty much sure that they win more than the winner of the game, so I do not think that they will lessen the profit that they earn by adding a feature that will give a limitation for the gamblers on playing the gambling sites are always updating and maintaining so the game because of they really want to have more players that will try it.
The only way to limit the gamblers on playing is only themselves. They are the one that is responsible for stopping them from wasting their money betting and betting.

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.

Indeed, the purpose of many gambling websites is to earn money by their users, having many users on their website, then the higher the profit for them, but the idea of having a limit is somehow useful to the gamblers. Still, I don't think that they would sacrifice their profits to the situation of the players.
It still depends on the gamblers if they will limit their time playing or not.

what kind of self-control do u think the best? if u hoping it comes from web provider then I think it will be useless until it comes from the law if it forced. Every user just needs the reminder i think, like when u already below 50% your fund, still want to continue or not. I think thats the best like stop loss at trading. But if they ignore it then suit themself, right?

This was a good idea! There should be something like a button or a setting wherein the player can able to control its time or duration in playing with casinos. However, these casinos want you to spend more so that they can probably earn more. putting it to consideration the house or the website should be responsible with theses issues too not only with their profit.

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.

Do you really think that it's possible? Because according to me this is totally no sense to think like this. It's a foolish thought if a gambler wants the casino to control them. The system is having some rules that all the members should follow but it's ridiculous to think a machine can control your emotions you if you feel that you are over-investing just quit by yourself but never let machines control you.

I agree, this even makes less sense when we are taking about cryptocurrencies, the purpose of cryptocurrencies is to give freedom and the responsibility this entails back to the user, anyone that thinks like this is basically admitting they are not ready for the responsibility that comes with cryptocurrencies, as such it is important to take control of our gambling activities and only gamble for a predetermined amount of time and as soon as that time expires you stop gambling, this may seem as too rigid but it is the only way to avoid being addicted to gambling.

what kind of self-control do u think the best?

The word "self-control" is self explanatory. One needs to control their urges. If they have a habit of gambling away money, then it needs to be checked from time to time. This can be done by manually set alerts or a close person reminding them of the time and money spent everyday. Eventually it needs to come from within. Otherwise the process is a failure.

if u hoping it comes from web provider then I think it will be useless until it comes from the law if it forced.

Force used is always counter productive here.

Every user just needs the reminder i think, like when u already below 50% your fund, still want to continue or not. I think thats the best like stop loss at trading. But if they ignore it then suit themself, right?

If they ignore it then its their problem. The concept of self control would not be applicable there.

I think the self-control will be on our side because that is related to the money that we use to playing gambling. If we cannot control ourselves in gambling, no matter if the website has that features, we will still try to play gambling with another account, and I am sure that he will have many accounts to continue playing gambling. With using reminder, we can know when we should stop gambling before our money is all gone.

actually it wasn't the reminder that will help us but the obligatory of having a function of control from the site it self.
the problem is would really those gambling site cares about this?they are here just to gather money from gamblers and not to help their players keeping safe.so it doesnt matter what we need but still its the sites that decide about that.

I also can't see the motive of gambling sites to introduce such controls. Their primary goal is money and profit, I don't think they care too much about issues of players. This could only be possible if they had some legal and regulatory obligations and of course someone who would monitor that.
However, if the player himself isn't aware of problem nothing else will help him.

The reminder can help you to remember your time to stop gambling, and I think that is the first reminder for yourself, so you don't continue playing gambling. That will work for you, especially if you learn about controlling yourself in gambling.

I don't think that the site will care about that because they want to make money from the gamblers, and even they care about that, the gamblers still have control for themselves. All the matter is about ourselves in having control so we can prevent the worst thing that might happen.

Never seen a gambling site with that feature. And I don't think they will ever think of that. It is true, gambling sites or casinos want to rip money as much as they can from the gamblers. That's their business. They will give you contacts if you need help from gambling addiction, that, you can find that in a lot of websites. But feature of self-control. I don't think so.

[xvids]

It would be useless even if they add up some self-control function to their site,
Since each gambler could always create a new account if they couldn't control their own.
The gambling sites doesn't really need that feature it is our job to control ourself on everything besides I don't really think that they would add it since it would lessen the gamblers game on their platform.

Maybe it's been useful for some and actually I once use that feature in my nitrogensports account, I prohibited myself from accessing the dice game because I always loss money on that game and it really work well, and that time I was afraid to create a new account as I don't want my main account to be compromise.

Yeah, I never saw that too because I don't think that the gambling site will add that feature. The responsibility will come to the gamblers itself, whether they want to stop playing gambling or still continue playing gambling. The gambling website only gives way how to gamble with some money, and the rest will be at the gamblers. The self-control is something that we need to have in gambling so we don't spend all of the money or we can control ourselves.

If you can stop yourself from accessing the account then you dont need to block your account.

The casino does not force a player to play. It is a service provided by the casino like any other service like a merchant. The habit of gambling is present in every human and thus it is important to control that. Casinos will always be there because running one is a flourishing business but self control comes from self and not by other people.

Of course the casinos provide a system to allow you to stop but in order to keep your hidden desires happy, it has been made in such a way that it is circumvent-able. So the bottom line is that you have to control yourself.

[Meowth05]

Having that kind of functionality for a online casino is very hard to be implemented because it will look like websites that are asking if you are right of age. I dont think it will work because people will find a way to play even if you do that functionality plus any business minded will think of this as a disadvantage because they are losing customers. What you really need to do if you are addicted to gambling then you will need a rehabilitation. This kind of functionality is analogous to putting a band-aid to an amputated arm.

This wouldn't do anything really.. All sorts of ways to circumvent self imposed blocks on gambling if a user wants to.
Seems like a waste of time to me. It should be up to the gambler to limit themselves, not the service facilitating the bets.
Even if you could block yourself from betting.. If you're in the middle of a tilt it is very likely you just create another account and keep gambling.

As someone who was formerly heavily addicted to gambling the best way to avoid needless posts like this one is just simply not to gamble.
Clearly the loss isn't worth the fun, judging by a post made like this. But at the end of the day it is not a site operators job to prevent you from doing something you're doing anyways.

[Debonaire217]

I don't think that it is still a necessary for them to add this kind of feature. In the first place their goal is for people to play on their casino, and adding a self-control functionality will limit the players from playing which is in return, for them is a low gambling rate. What I can see as a problem here is within the gambler themselves. They are obliged to be disciplined in playing, and to limit their games whenever they feel that they are breaking their limits.

For me, there's nothing wrong in gambling as long as we know when to stop. The responsibility in this matter lies upon us and not the gambling sites where we are playing into.
