Responsible gambling

[goaldigger]

In as far as the feature is good, self discipline is the best thing to do because this feature can activated and deactivated at any time one wish. But if self discipline is acquired, you can set your daily limit and operate by it without even using this feature.

Having this will take you on a better place on every field, especially if you have a better discipline handling your finances so I’m focusing on this right now and I’m spending only for what really matters, its like having a budget all the time. Gambling is fun and addicting, if you don’t have self-discipline then it will be hard for you and you might fall into a wrong direction and the worst here is that, you might lose everything. I’m just having a simple budget for gambling, and it works perfectly for me.

To know how to limit your gambling activity by yourself and to know your own limits is the ideal, but not everyone is at this emotional and mental stage yet, so they need third party tools in order to help them keep their impulses under control. And it's very good gambling platforms are getting aware of the importance of responsible gambling feature and introducing it to their websites these days. It's an extra measure gamblers have by their side to fight addiction back, besides the account exclusion option they had since before.

I just think it shouldn't be so easy to activate and deactivate the feature. If someone activated it, it should be possible to deactivate only after a long time period. Maybe some months or a year...

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

This is one of the important things we need to keep doing as a gambler so that we will not end up losing our potential or becoming ignorant of our gambling addiction. This is one of the big problem that keep kicking gamblers on the face and most persons never realize it so they can work on it. We need to keep debugging our behavior so that we can know when to stop gambling and how to help ourselves from going too dip in it. With this that op had been doing to regulate his urge is a good move to eradicate any too much feelings that could lead to loses later.

I have to agree with this.

Others think that a self-exclusion program is not really needed but they didn't really know and understand the feeling of being close to becoming addicted. These persons where level of addiction is now being noticed really need some help in order to at least, try to take the momentum back to themselves.

If others think that self-exclusion is not necessary, be thankful as that proves that you are still in yourself and far from falling into a gambling trap.

Maybe, we all here have gambling sites that can really be trusted and are responsible for us in losing and winning bets, in general the features don't exist for me, but I have what you said.

To be honest, I have thrown away several online gambling sites, now I only have 2 online gambling sites that can be responsible for me in all respects, I have spent a lot of things there, only these gambling sites want to be responsible.

Well, aside from trusting reputable casino sites when gambling, we gamblers should also be responsible enough too to manage our funds not to lose them all from gambling. Because if we just keep on gambling without setting some limits, I guess in a just a year, we will end up ruining our future. So I believe this responsible gambling feature could still very helpful especially for those who fail to control theirselves when gambling, but if we also think we still manage to do the right thing in gambling even if we also make consistent but affordable losses, then we can always have the choice not to install this responsible gambling feature.

Until now I have never used this because I personally have a principle that if I don't cross my limits then it will be fine.
I always limit spending on gambling every month and when my budget in one month runs out in gambling then I will wait for the next month so as long as I don't limit it I don't think I need to use this feature.

Stick to this and you wont really be finding out yourself into great financial problem considering that gambling could really mess up your finances if you arent really that careful when it comes to your spending.

Gambling should really be for fun and not something that you do deal up just because you do expect something from it or simply making it as a source of income.
If you do have this kind of mindset then you are just basically making things a lot worst. Be responsible and dont make out unnecessary decisions which would cause
up some problems later on.

[Sandra_hakeem]

It all depends on how you look at it; you could be a gambler and still be responsible (as you said). Everything depends on how it done, when It's done and where it's done  (eventually, that's applicable to every case in life, but atleast it is to this one on ground). AFAIK, Very many gamblers don't gamble for profits sake; well, if the profit comes, they'll take 'em but they've got a different motive entirely.
Back to  your question.... ion gamble, apart from way back 2013 when I normally play games as a cashier.... I don't think I have the urge to just get up and Begin to wager, except maybe I'm flopped by a customer who I printed a game already but didn't get back for it.

this responsible gambling feature is very helpful to prevent those who want to deposit money into their account after losing in a row .. this of course will help players to be able to control their money and prevent them from spending too much of their money .. this feature itself has started to be implemented at several online casinos in Australia and is very effective in preventing players from using too much of their money in games

Yeah, I actually find the feature extremmely useful as ot prevents you to get out of control and immediatelly recharhe your account after a real hard bad beat. That is basically when you feel frustrated for losing hard and in the back of your mind you believe that it is perfectly possible to recover all the money  lost in a coupple of plays. Well, this is terribly wrong and this feature is perfect to help you avoid going down that road.

yes, it's true that this feature will be very helpful,, but what if the player has two accounts on the casino platform? would that render this feature useless? because in the end players will deposit into their other accounts after they couldn't deposit their money on the previous account .. i think for this feature to be really useful, the casino platform should use a banned IP or KYC system to prevent users from depositing continuously on different accounts

OP: If you play poker you should know that the correct word is enter tilt mode.

If you are addicted you should not gamble it is that simple, to say that you control the addiction is a fallacy, the true cure for the addict is never to gamble again.

In fact, deposit controls are for this type of situation of entering a Tilt phase, they are not there to control addicts.

You have an error of appreciation between gambling addiction and being Tilt, being tilted can have a solution and it is a "normal" phase in which we fall frequently or not, depending on each person's experience.

OP: If you play poker you should know that the correct word is enter tilt mode.

I'm not so sure about that, fellow famososMuertos. Tilt is usually talked about players who win money, who due to a bad streak stop playing rationally and start letting their emotions, mainly anger or rage, take over.

Losing players as the OP seems to think might also have some kind of tilt, but I doubt that all the states he experiences can be attributed to tilt.

On the other hand I think the responsible gambling options are positive, it's not just setting a maximum deposit, there is also for example a self-exclusion for a certain period which can generally be from one day to one year or forever. Sometimes self-excluding yourself for 24 hours makes you see things differently when you come back.

Responsible gambling or self exclusion feature is really important because it will help gambling addicts to quit gambling for temporary times. But many addicts still denying the fact if they're not an addicts, so they didn't use that's feature and continue to gamble. I've heard many people complain why casino is block the gambling addict for temporary, not permanent. Actually it's better for the casino to ban for temporary since there's few cases someone miss clicked or don't want to quit gambling forever.

[Peanutswar]

The gambling casino does not add a modal just to warn that you already wasted a lot of money so, in that case, it's your choice to play gambling responsibly, better to make yourself limit for your daily activities like wins and even losses, some of the gambler as always they make revenge gameplay to the casino and also getting a priority with your funds like having a budget for the specific game only and not wasted all of those in just a single day, unless you are a millionaire doesn't know where to spend all of your money.

That is a difficult point to explain as it should.In theory all gamblers know that they should stop when they see that they are in a big losing session yet the rage,greediness and the fear are the emotions that keep most of the gamblers play until they lose all of their money.Many of them also make the mistake of going back trying to recover their money by chasing the loses and losing even more,this has also a big risk for these people to become addicted.

The only solution to this is to set a bankroll weekly or monthly depending how each one plays and sticking to it,there is no other alternative.

Well, a tilt mode is when you push all-ins like crazy without thinking... usually, it comes after some big disappointment from previously lost hands. Like you were sure of your wins, but that didn't happen. It happens in all gambling games, and in most cases, it leads to losing the entire balance. Occasionally, read maybe once in 100 times, that crazy gambling can bring recovery and maybe even some profit...

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I have seen a serious case of addiction in gambling, which makes me wonder if this feature can help a chronic addict. I had a friend in school; he was my best friend, and we both were good, but all of a sudden he became a gambling addict. He uses every penny he gets from his parents to gamble, and he even borrows money from friends to gamble. He sells some of his clothing to gamble. Even his parents could not help him; they never had to give him money anymore, but instead he would pick pockets to gamble. If this feature existed then and I was aware of it, I think the best way to offer him some help is to tell him about the feature. But so many efforts have been rendered to this guy just to make him change, all to no avail. I have two friends who gamble, but they have no addiction. I will ask if they are aware of the feature. If they're not aware, kudos 👌 to me because I will be teaching them something new.

[danherbias07]

I was just about to say that admission of guilt isn't going to solve the problem but is only a step towards a solution, until I saw thw latter parts, to which I must say it is a good thing. Not that being aware of your problem is any bad because it is actually great that you have been made aware of your issue. Anyhow, you're on a right track yet it's not enough that you just know how to limit yourself with refilling your account, you must know when to stop as well so maybe as a next step to a more responsible gambling behavior, you take up taking imposing game limits on yourself too? Like maybe just set two to three losses for yourself, and if you reach thst you must stop for the day. And also impose same limits for your wins so you don't get too greedy. Creating habits is a great way to solve addiction, I have seen people get rid of their more grave types of addictions by subjecting themselves to strict discipline followed by a calculated life. And ask any psychiatrist around, they'd say the same thing.

I strongly agree with all that you said. Excessive habitual things can always be changed to minimal habits by controlling the number of bets in a day or two. Baby steps as they call it. You cannot go wild and change in a rush just because someone said so, it must be self-discipline and all according to your own will to change.
Whatever service he is using as I have not tried it yet, if it helps then good, if not and he thinks it's just making it all worst then stop. Make a new plan and stick with it. That's always the crucial part, to follow the plan, don't chase losses.

[CryptoYar]

I think many casinos don't have this feature because that'll prevent them from making money, casinos don't care if you lose all the money you have and turn an addict instead that's their wish for all their customers so they'll keep using their platforms and makings them wealthier.

Yes, not every casino site has this feature, but almost every website has a "Responsible Gambling" page.

Where they've explained that it's for fun. Just like you buy a ticket to see a movie that cost you money but you still buy it for fun/entertainment. After It depends on how responsible the user is when he/she gambling.

In my opinion, there is nothing worse than the inability to control yourself and your desires.

I completely agree with you. A gambler should know how to control his emotions by himself. If he can't, then no such feature is gonna save him. IMO

Most gamblers themselves violate self-exclusion, some of them complain because after self-exclusion at the casino, they can still access and play again at the casino. So when gamblers use the self-exclusion feature, they must also be responsible by not returning to play at any casino, but as you said, those who are addicted will find it very difficult to admit that they are addicted, especially when these gamblers have not experienced or done anything bad as a result of addiction, they will deny it.

to be honest I have never used any feature to control myself not to lose too much money at gambling. I just use experiences that are too bad in the past to be used as a lesson so that I can better control my emotions when gambling.
on the other hand I also have a great wife who can always give a few words that always remind me to always gamble with money I can afford to lose.
so until now I didn't understand such a feature. I just used my past as a lesson not to chase defeat in gambling too much.
