Gambling Problem, Is it Possible to be a Thing of the Past?

[AmoreJaz]

I confess, this type of article content is something relevant and that it can help many people today...

But I keep asking myself, can a self-exclusion system really be extremely useful today?
Have some types of tests been carried out on this system? Is it really viable?

the truth is, at the end of the day, the change still depends on the person's final choice in life. self-exclusion is good but to what extent he will not be tempted in going back? he can easily create a new account and go to another casino if he wants to. for some, it is effective because they have the will to change. but for some, as we have read even in this forum, they are blaming the casino for letting them in even if they sent a self-exclusion request.

It's like the forceful help to those that are willing to help themselves as well. But it will still depend on the person that will self-exclude himself.

I agree, I reckon that it's really going to be depending on the will of the gambler. If he uses the self-exclusion and yet goes back from time to time or does something just to gamble again in some other casinos that he's not yet excluded from, then, that's nonsense of using it.

Self exclusion for me is somewhat pointless because it would be still depending on someone whether he would quit up gambling for good willingly but there are some people who do made out such step to exclude out theirselves to addiction via on these ways.Its still relevant or at least its good to see that there are platforms who do still offer these exclusions despite its not been proven out that it could help out those
addicted gamblers out there but i've seen that there are ones who do say at least on using up this feature but we know that quitting gambling do really start
from ones self.

This is just my opinion, I think self-exclusion is not helpful enough for the current era where there are so many online casinos that can be used by people, when they use this feature but when they are tempted to play again they can use another casino.
Didn't find accurate data on this, probably because not many people are willing to admit that they are a gambler.

I appreciate your answers guys!

I don't have any relative experience about gambling/betting.

But from what you've said, I imagine this is something similar to a drug user needing to be admitted to rehab.
If the drug addict does not want to improve, he will hardly change his life, because the change must come from himself.

I am not sure if self-exclusion is really going to work long term. My own experiences with gambling addiction is very limited, I had nights in the past where it was hard to stop but these are very rare and don't continue for several days. What I do know from my own experience is how hard it is to stop smoking. During a day when you feel good it's no problem to control your own actions and stay away from cigarettes. Everything changes when you start drinking some alcohol and are among people who smoke. I think that this is very similar to a gambling addiction, when you are with friends who are talking about gambling or who want to gamble in front of you. Self-exclusion can help in some instances if there is no work around, where people can cheat themselves. The problem is that casinos are so easy to access and even if you try to take yourself out of the equation and press the panic button from your regular casino, so that you can't log in in the next 30 days. You could just make a new account at a different casino.

This is true. The determination of a gambler to actually change for the better plays a major role in dropping gambling successfully from his system. If the person himself is uncooperative, then he won't succeed in quitting gambling. The help they need should always start from themselves. They must ensure that they are willing to heal from within and not point-fingers. Acknowledgement and acceptance are always the initial steps. The next thing they have to do is to consult a professional and obey their guidance to attain the treatment and healing they need.

If a person fails to do so and just go back to his old habits, it will just be an endless cycle for him. Undergoing relapse is okay as long as you do better next time to do not repeat the same failure. Because no matter how strict the self-exclusion of gambling casinos and websites be, if you are already sober enough and knows what you are doing, it's already on your discretion. The moment you knew you'll keep on coming back, you should do necessary actions aside from relying from self-exclusion programs. Because these casinos can only do so much, but the rest of it is still up to you.

Gambling should stop when it has a negative effect on your life and those around you. Someone who plays gambling only for entertainment and uses the minimum money that has been provided, of course, it will not interfere, but it will also become a habit. Stopping from gambling when you have lost and spent a lot of money is a very unfortunate thing, because when gambling is still winning, it will not cross the mind to stop.
therefore manage your gambling game well, don't be too greedy and continue to gamble. use minimal funds that will not interfere with the needs and lives of you and your family.

in my opinion gambling is not a healthy activity and all the gamblers stop gambling sooner or late.
Gambling in excess is serious trouble. And one should try to avoid it as much possible.

when they are gamblers who are used to it and earn income from gambling, they will find it difficult to stop. Gambling is not a healthy activity, but there must be control for those gamblers who are already professionals. Gambling excessively will have a negative effect and will damage life. if you can avoid it then avoid it, but if you can't avoid it, at least limit it to playing gambling.

Gambling has negative connotation in our community owed to negative impact of it in most gamblers.
It is not a secret to anyone about the influence of gambling to any person especially if he got addicted to it.
So you won't expect anyone to promote gambling if you have the chance not to venture in this habit.
Great if you are just an occasional gambler, but for those addicted, that's when trouble arises.
Gambling problem won't go anywhere, as gambling is already part of human history and I don't think it will be erase soon.

A sad reality that addicted gambler can easily to think about, if he made a self-exclusion to one casino he can quickly create a new account with other casino, that how addiction works, the desire inside you are pushing you to keep playing, even the other side of you is trying to resist but a force inside you will push you to do things that supposedly you are stopping.

In the sense useful, in that particular platform/site we can say it is a yes since you can avoid yourself playing,

but then again, if you can't fight the lust for you, creating a new account and using other platform is always lingering in your ears,
something will bring you back to playing your favorite game or sports to bet on.

I agree I think those who believe that self-exclusion is that effective then I can say, they have to wake up, stand up from their chairs and get out of the house to know more realistic events in life.  Those people who are saying that self-exclusion is the way to solve gambling addiction then I think they are wrong.  Nothing is much better than to have a therapist aid the gambling addict since they can fully guide the patient to full recovery.  Unlike this self-exclusion that has lots of hole.

[Hispo]

From my personal point of view, problems like gambling addiction cannot be wiped out society completely in a realistic way, that would be too ideal.
Nonetheless, I am pleased to see that these problems are being adressed instead being ignored.

About this plan and concept of self-exclusion, it is something I have seen mentioned in other discussions around here, I think it is a good aproach for those who know they are specially suceptible to gambling addiction or gambling dependence. However, when comes to self-exclusion it is necessary for the person to be aware of the possible problem or someone around the person to be aware of it. After all, one can only tackle a problem if one can see/admit there is a problem.
This a good first step towards preventing people to fall into a serious addiction, those not aware they need self-exclusion will need additional help or measures.

The problem is that the way you understand gambling might not be the way another person understand gambling because I might be a beneficiary to gambling why you are not a beneficiary to gambling because of the method you choose in using gambling, so that is why anyone who is addicted to gambling I don't blame the person because I know that there must be a ssign or a benefit that is attached to it that is making the person to continue playing gambling subsequently and they're influencing others also

I confess I was not aware of this, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.

I also believe if a person does not have a certain control, there is a high chance that they will become addicted or something, for example gambling, drinking, medication, drugs, and other things.

When a person becomes addicted to something, he is dependent on this type of "stimulus" to be able to live among other things.

I agree that is why it will be hard for a gambling addict to stick to being self-excluded in gambling.  Just like what the earlier reply stated, some gambling addicts will decide to self-exclude but later will try everything to bypass that self-exclusion to the point of moving to another gambling site just to continue their gambling.  This self-exclusion may help those players that is yet to be addicted but due to the easy access of gambling casino online, players tends to go back to playing not on the casino he applied for self-exclusion but to new gambling site, they found.  I think for this self-exclusion to be taken seriously, they need to be implemented globally, meaning, if a player excludes himself in one casino, he is automatically excluded to all online casino.  but I think that would be impossible to implement.

This is pretty interesting. I would imagine that it could possibly help some people, those who know they’ve got a problem and want to fix it, as well as those who just simply want to stick to a limit for the day (especially if they plan on drinking and gambling recklessly).

You would really be falling out into addiction if you do engage on particular things on excessive manner which would really be molding out that kind of intent which you would be continously be doing it since you've

been tolerating and ignoring that particular risk that lies ahead.Its impossible for a certain person not to have foresee on the possible consequences if they do intend to do things excessively.

Well, regret do always come at the end  and you would realize it once its been happening but it should really be done earlier and wont be necessary to make yourself
experience those unfortunate things.

when they are gamblers who are used to it and earn income from gambling, they will find it difficult to stop.

For regular gamblers, especially those who think their gambling activities have no problems, surely never think to stop. They have no reasons to stop, right? Moreover, the gamblers who often win some money from gambling, it even becomes a profitable thing to do. Only those gamblers who have a problem with self-control or addiction, are recommended to stop.

Gambling is not a healthy activity, but there must be control for those gamblers who are already professionals.

It becomes a healthy activity or bad activity, depending on our way in gambling. As long as we gamble in the right way, nothing wrong with gambling. It can give us entertainment, it leads us to happiness. But if we gamble in the wrong way, it can lead to bad habits. By the way, to have good self-control in gambling, it isn't a must to be a professional. It is about our understanding, awareness, responsibility, and how mature our mindsets in gambling.

[Lordhermes]

It is quite possible that gambling could be a thing of the past,yes because man was not cursed to remain a gambler for life,and the moment one discovers that he is getting addicted to gambling,he can decide to quit it and make it a thing of the past.I know it's very hard to stop a habbit,but the moment it's becoming a problem,it is good to stop it and look for something to keep you busy to avoid gambling again.
The inability to take a decision and stand on it is the reason so many people seems not to be able to leave the habbit of gambling.They are unable to control themselves when the spirit comes,but the moment you can control yourself,you can make it a thing of the past without stress.

Gamblers who already win already in playing gambling have a higher chance to play more because they experience already getting a large amount of winning and of course, with their engagement they think they can earn more at the same time but of course not all the time it is a good profit day. Even though gambling can give the satisfaction of entertainment it is good if we have a proper plan or execution to make sure it is going to be alright at the end of the game people becomes more greedy whenever they lose or win the game always gambling responsibly.
