Responsible gambling

[goinmerry]

Self-exclusive is also one of them, did you things by only a word & mind you're not getting temptation to no playing on the site too? tell me by percentage and how successful is was. Even if you are reading "Responsible Gambling", you can still come back again.

Self-exclusive, I think, is a different story because the purpose of that is to slowly stop gambling.

Here in the topic, we talk about responsible gambling where we are still currently gambling but not to the point that we are turning into the worst gambler. Even gambling regularly, we remain disciplined and with a good attitude toward other things.

We really don't need to stop gambling if, on our end, we can still control it. But in case of a sudden change of behavior in which people are not aware because of too much gambling, then that's the time a serious treatment is necessary.

I consider myself a gambling addict. However, unlike gambling addicts, I'm aware of my addiction and I know how to control it. What I love most is playing poker and also sports betting. The latter is the one that screws me the most. Even though, I can get some real good profits,
sometimes I get wild and end up losing all of my money.

To avoid, running after the loss, I have set up the responsible gambling in my account and it helps me a lot to control the bad beats against my will to recharge my account and ending up losing it all again.

For me this has been working for quite some time and it was a way I found to prevent me from throwing money that I need away.

Any of you guys uses the responsible gambling feature? If so, what do you think about it? Is it helpful or does it only gives you a sense of control

Do you mean self exclusion? I haven't yet needed that but it's a good feature to have. I have seperate crypto account for gambling, and i have promised to myself that when i withdraw winnings i won't gamble that money again. But i have a weekly budget, that's very small but as it's weekly and i can bet with small amounts, i still get enough rush from it. And if i win big, i will withdraw some and play the rest. If i lose all i can always put little more in to my betting account next week.

Well, I don't consider your self as a gambling addict, coz you're sane enough to know your limits and even set a standards for your self while placing bets. Addicts are those who has an uncontrollable urge for gambling.
Btw, would care to elaborate more about this responsible gambling features? And how does it helps prevent users to avoid further losses? Does that limit you to gamble further if you're within your threshold?

[Baofeng]

Correct this is could self-exclusion, but I'm not sure if crypto based casino's have this features already, if not then it's better to have this kind of measures to be mandated by all crypto gambling license issuer so that it will be implemented to help reduce the gambling activities of those players who has the tendency to be addict in the future. But it's the question whether the addict can really stop their activities? What if they uses another account, or uses another gambling platform to continue and play without control? So for me, it remains unclear whether this responsible gambling or gaming is really that effective. Maybe to the OP it did help him a lot that time, but so far we don't have the numbers so again, this could be a case to case basis for me on how effective this measures is to gamblers, in my opinion.

Addicts are those who has an uncontrollable urge for gambling.

Disagree with you, brother. Maybe you just look at the word "addict" with the wrong definition since this word is associated with wrong doings activities such as addicted to drugs, addiction to liquors, addiction to smoking, etc.

Professional gamblers are considered addicted to gambling. Don't tell me, do you consider these gamblers as not addicted to gambling because they are responsible? That doesn't make sense. Let's be clear here that addiction doesn't mean a user is now on the verge of being an irresponsible gambler.

[Finestream]

I know about it and I don't think that I need it because I've never felt the drive to get back right away, or maybe never felt it to be strong enough to deposit again after a loss.
I usually have very little money to gamble and I try to divide it so that I can kill some time playing. Say I play poker and I know I only have $100 on my account. I'll try to bet low and if I come close to running out of money, I'll prepare myself mentally for that loss and think about the things I'll do when it happens. For me it's never a way to get rich. I don't try to save up for something and I don't bet money I cannot afford to lose. Most of my bets, e.g. sports, are so low that it doesn't really matter if I win or lose. A win will boost my confidence, make me feel good throughout a day, but if I lose it's not a problem. No boost, on that day, but no feeling down either.

That is definitely a good attitude towards gambling, and I’m also doing the same thing that’s why this responsible gambling feature is no need at all. I am just an occasional gambler so I have less worries when it comes to gambling losses. And when I gamble, I usually set first enough amount to gamble so that if ever I screw them all, that won’t certainly affect me. Gambling is only meant to entertain us, and that’s why I only gamble just for fun, not typically to earn serious amonunt.

It's good that you are aware of your being a compulsive gambler and have taken a step to prevent yourself from getting worse others will just ignore it and deny that they are a compulsive gambler when they are spending more than they can, I don't have it yet it's not yet time I can still manage, I've been through a lot and my resolution to think about my losses in the past are the ones that are helping me control my urge to spend more than I can spend.
Those with bad habits of spending a lot should not be shy to have it, it will not make you a weak person by having it.

It's useful, for sure.

In fact, this is a feature every licensed casino should have.
Regulatory bodies should oblige casinos to make this feature available to players, as it certainly prevents users from betting beyond their limit when they are overcome with emotion.

In the old days, when there were only casinos in Fiat, it was easier to have this control, it was enough to deposit the "excess" money in a bank account that took a certain amount of time to authorize the withdrawal.
Today, with cryptocurrencies and self-custodial wallets, this has become much more complicated, as it depends solely on the user, which is why websites need to provide this feature for addicted but controlled players like you.

I also consider myself a gambling addict, but not to the point that I'm being sh*t outside my gambling activities.

Even coming from a big loss, I still know my responsibilities, as obviously, everyone should act like that. Being end up disappointed and regrettable is part of being a gambler. It's also just fine to feel sad and not in good mood after a loss because "no one" is excused from being hit by emotional feelings.

As far as my own approach is concerned, there's nothing really specific about what I do to control my bankroll. If I feel like gambling, I will just enter the scene because I do like to do it at that time. Likewise, there's also no specific time when I need to stop. It's all on me depending on my mood.

We just have to follow our own way of how to be responsible gamblers and try to keep it that way.

In spite of being addicted in gambling, I think we should still act responsible and there should be discipline in all gambling activities that we do. Yes, I admit that I was once a compulsive gambler before but I never end up ruining all my finances because I know I should still be responsible in all that I do, most especially when it comes to managing my finances. That is why until at the present, I have never had serious problems in gambling, since I never make it to the point to consider gambling as a source of living.

Its recommended to have it, in fact, casinos do it for people who have an uncontrol urge to deposit and gamble, I prefer not to have it for now, as I want to challenge myself to be in control of what I'm doing but I am aware of it and it's on the back of my mind to place it when I'm losing a lot, we all should be aware that it's there for us to protect ourselves when we need protection, you just never know when you will lose your control.

[aoluain]

I enjoy gambling here and there, a few bets per week but it certainly doesn't affect me to
the extent where I have to place bets.

The idea of the "responsible gambling" feature is interesting. I'm trying to understand how
an addict is supposed to control themselves with that feature but I can imagine it
does offer a means of control.

I think if we still want to continue gambling and just want somehow to control ourselves from not too much losing, then maybe responsible gambling feature might help. But I have not come across this feature so far, and I’m not that totally needing it since I still know how to control myself as a gambler, though I have consistent losses but for me, those are still within my self-control. But still, I would really want to know this feature so that in the future, when I see sudden changes in my gambling behavior, at least I know what to do exactly.

^Definitely right and that's very well said.
Just gamble for fun not serious about the amount that you will earn because gambling is meant for fun not for chasing money. People are gamble to make this opportunity for their living which is not an ideal way to treat gambling. That is why I realized that we are very lucky here in the forum as a community because we are well-oriented and have more awareness of the possible problem that we encounter in the future. We know how to manage ourselves, discipline, and put limits on gambling.

Good to see people like OP are able to manage their addiction. Responsibility is the key. You either can gamble or you can't and these tools are there to help you. For addicted gamblers the best way would be to stop completely through self exclusion, but if that's not en option responsible gambling is probably the next best thing.

Many casinos have this option but not all of them. It's getting more popular, which is good.
I manage without having to use these, but I mainly bet on sports. Traditional fast-paced games like dice and slots are the ones that can benefit from this the most because people get into trance playing and they feel like they have to continue because next round could be a big win.

Based on your explanation, I can see that would be very helpful for those who are losing control of themselves and just lose consistently in gambling. Gambling responsible feature will be a huge help for them not just to avoid some inevitable losses, but also to put limit on theirselves when it comes to gambling. However, for me, seems I won’t be needing this feature this time and as long as I’ll be able manage myself, losing in gambling will always be somehow in full control.

Addicted person could really neither be considered on various ways since there are ones who cant just control themselves and there are ones who are still good or still into their minds on what are the actions
that they are making on, or simply does still have the control which it is a must thing when we do speak about gambling.There's no way that we could really be able to make our lives
to be in disaster if we are really just that mindful or be careful with our spending.Doesnt matter if we are addicted as long you arent that messing up your financials
then you are still just that fine.

The casinos put it for compliance but if they want it their way they don't have it implemented, they just want you to spend as long as you like and as long as you want to spend money, some casinos have it others don't have I don't have it, I was advised to have it in case I lose control which I'm not, thank goodness, up to this day.

If you're the kind who sometimes loses money, it's better to play in casinos that have this, so in case you want to control your betting you can place it in your account, in gambling an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

As long as you can control it, it is no problem. I assume you are still at a mild addiction level, not a heavy addiction.
Do you still have the ability to manage/limit your funds, right? If you still can limit it and gamble for a certain time only, you won't have a problem with your life. But if it bothers your life, you need to stop it, at least stop it temporarily until you know how to gamble properly.

By the way, all addicts earn profits sometimes but end up with huge losses. It happens because they don't know when to stop, they are always eager to get more and more. They forget that chasing profits won't work in gambling, especially on based-luck games. It is the same as targeting something impossible to achieve.

[Dave1]

I'll tell you one example, but very different to self-exclusion, I know that guy personally so I will share his story here. He was addicted to gambling, maybe because that time he has a good job and sort of getting bribe money from different people because he works in a government agency wherein corruption is rampant. So he become addicted that he is always in a land base casinos almost all the time every night. So what his wife do is that when he leaves at night to play, his wife will call the casinos and will tell that they shouldn't allow this person to go inside, he will describe how he looks the dress he wear etc. And it was effective as he himself tells me that the can't go to any casino because as soon as he was spotted, they immediately kick him out and so he has nowhere to play and it did really help him somewhat manage his addiction. Now he is completely free from gambling.

[Darker45]

That's good to hear that you have found a way to control your gambling urge. And it is also good that certain gambling platforms have this feature.

The way I see it though, I think you are not really a gambling addict. I think addiction refers to an acute condition in which you cannot anymore control or stop that urge in you. In your part, you can still very much control it. That's probably not addiction, or at least not yet. Those who are already in the state of addiction already need professional intervention in order to control their urge. I guess you aren't in this situation.
