Online Casinos Want you to Gamble Responsibly

[Davidvictorson]

I don't believe online casinos enjoy seeing a gambler lose money. I'd like to believe that they only want responsible gamblers to patronize them. They believe they have a moral obligation to present some suggestions for responsible gambling to the general population. It is also logical to believe that if they could assess visitors for gambling addiction, those who failed the test would be banned from signing up. Because they can't, they've created a section of their website with guidelines for responsible gambling. So, even if the house always wins, which is good for their business, it is your responsibility to bet responsibly.

The following are some of the responsible gambling guidelines I found on Livecasino.io, Duelbits, TrustDice, and others. They all have the same idea.

- Treat your betting and gaming as a form of entertainment and only use money that you have set aside for your entertainment.
- Do not bet or wager amounts larger than you are comfortable with.
- Do not bet or wager with money you cannot afford to lose.
- Do not chase your losses.
- Do not let your betting and/or gaming take up time that you would usually spend on other activities.

 Any thoughts?

I don't believe online casinos enjoy seeing a gambler lose money. The loss of gamblers is the process of gambling sites.

But if gamblers are winning, there would be no casino or other gambling sites, but I like the fact that gambling sites still make it clear for gamblers to use little amount of money that they can afford to lose.

It is also logical to believe that if they could assess visitors for gambling addiction, those who failed the test would be banned from signing up.

Signing up is the easiest thing to do, even the questions about gambling addiction is only suggested by some gambling sites and not in a way it is compulsory. They are what that even a 15 year old person can know about.

Any thoughts?

Who is going to be addicted will be but it is good that gambling sites do advice their users to visit the recommended page to know the do not for not to become addicted.

I don't think there are so called moral obligations for casinos, they are in the business of making money, and just like any other business, they want more people to patronized them and will have them to lose in order for casinos to profit.

Of course there are this thing called responsible gambling introduce by many casinos now.

But how many gamblers do you think know about this one? or even if they know it, are they going to practice it?

Online Casinos Want you to Gamble Responsibly

Or it is the casino's disclaimer that they are not responsible for anything bad that can happen to you because you are gambling like a shithead.

Sure, on the flipside, reminders like these denotes a positive tone, however you can't be sure if these entities actually cares to some random dude playing on their website. At the end of the day, their goal is to make money by providing some sort of entertainment where gamblers can enjoy.

Do you know what? they're lying

I don't know why they're wrote like that, it's either the license or the regulations force the casino to write it or the casino itself has an idea about that. I'm not saying gambling is bad, because gambling is good for kill boredom and enjoy to play like online games. Most people see gambling is harm and bad, that's why they're convince anyone if they're care with the gambler and make sure the gambler not become an addict.

Similar like cigarette where it's always an advertisement about smoking is bad, after all they're want to promote their brand.

I think those casino is just complying with responsible gambling regulation on each casino. But for sure all of them want to keep you betting because its a profit for them and it will not be a good business to them if their costumers will just spend a chunk. They want whales to come in and bet since this is how they can get revenue to their casino, but what good thing about those casino is atleast they post that notice because there are still time for other to think clearly before starting to spend their money on casino.

For them it is business and with every activity online we were able to see disclaimer and such a disclaimer is found in each and every gambling platform. Every casino want it's users to play in a responsible way, only then business will be good. When it comes to an investment based platform, we can see the disclaimer investments are subject to risk read the terms carefully before investing.

[Frankolala]

Gambling is a business,there for, the casino will put all those  do's and don'ts, to blind fold you towards their intention of collecting your money and to also show a prove to the casino regulatory bodies,in case there is a serious gambling related case,which led to depression or ruined life of their customers,for the casino not to be held responsible of such situation.

The casinos are after their customers funds because it is a business,and nobody will love to loose in his business. Those guidelines are written to save and remind a responsible gambler not to fall into addiction. If the casino cares about the welfare of their customers,then if a gamblers lost heavily,he should be given back 50% of his lost and shouldn't be allowed to gamble in their platform till the next two days.

[piebeyb]

that is why gambling is not appropriate for minors to play, after all playing gambling must be really wise and you should not play gambling if you cannot control yourself because maybe it will cause people to lose a lot of money 

[nakamura12]

It's not like they will ban you if you become a gambling addict by betting huge amount of money on their platform. The reason for that is they don't want to be responsible of every gambler's fault that's why they have a guidelines or disclaimer if it's different platforms. Just like in investment, they will always put it in their platform "Invest at your own risk" and in a crypto platform I know is they put "price may increase or decrease so invest at your own risk". That explains why they put up a guideline and casino is also a business after all.

[livingfree]

Most of them are giving the reminder to be a responsible gambler and they're giving access to everyone to self-exclude.

Well, they're a business and yeah of course they also care for their customers and want only the responsible ones to retain.

And one thing for sure is that, they're not a charity and it's known to the most who are their target market.

[rhomelmabini]

I think it's just for publicity sake and wouldn't it be just always a disclaimer since they are being regulated? I don't think they got that obligation in the first place because if they do then they should have helped those problem gamblers if they could identify each one of them. Isn't that ironic?

[len01]

maybe some casinos have issued warnings about betting responsibly, but these warnings are always ignored by gamblers who have the mindset of gambling to double their money.
because every gambler has different principles, there are those who are responsible for betting just for fun with money they can afford to lose, and there are also gamblers who have the principle of doubling money at gambling (especially gambling addicts).

so that these warnings will often be ignored by some gamblers who are obviously not responsible for betting, but will always be paid attention to by gamblers who have full responsibility for their bets.
but after all, this kind of thing is indeed very difficult even though the casino always gives a warning but it all comes back to each gambler.

that is why gambling is not appropriate for minors to play, after all playing gambling must be really wise and you should not play gambling if you cannot control yourself because maybe it will cause people to lose a lot of money  

It seems that age cannot be a guarantee that every gambler can be responsible because many of them are already adults but still cannot take responsibility when gambling.
There are some gamblers who are underage and in fact they can obey all the existing rules because they are afraid of sanctions that will be given if they make a mistake and are irresponsible.
Control is needed by every gambler, but it's rare for them to be able to control themselves so that they minimize losing money on a large scale.
Until now there are still many gamblers who play but only follow their emotions and lust for victory and profit.

[dimonstration]

They really not happy when their player is losing some money but they don’t have a choice because they enter this kind of industry which players need to lose in able for them to have a profit and continue the casino operations. I believe they want players to become responsible gambler so that they will not ruin there life and continue gambling in the long run because having a stable source profit is much better than having one time big time win for the casino.

As a gambler. We are all aiming for the casino to lose against us. I believe they are doing the same for the sake of their company. Not personally.

[jrrsparkles]

Casino is a business sector just like thousands of others, it good that they have some warnings for the bettors but how much people really going to pay attention to it anyway. If one who wants to gamble all their money they will features like self exclusion can't stop them too because they can jump one from another within a matter of minutes so what can we do is to teach the upcoming generation about every kind of addiction as early as possible.

[xSkylarx]

They are just saying this as a reminder, and this also needs to be put up on the website to follow the legalities of their casino, and it is also just showing them that they are taking care of those gamblers who play on their platform. It is still up to you on how you would prevent yourself from getting addicted to gambling or control yourself, as for sure if you get addicted, they will not help you. That is why those reminders are posted for you as a guide on how to prevent the addiction to it.

Any thoughts?

We'd probably never know ngl. Sure, I'd also like to think that casinos don't really want their users to gamble away their money irresponsibly (they'd still lose, but in a more controlled manner) but the thing is that's most likely just the from they need to comply hence why they post stuff like that. Either way, they'd still profit regardless of people playing responsibly or not. Ofc, I don't really mind (and neither should others really) whether they want me to gamble responsibly or not, it's my choice anyway and I don't really need to put the responsibility for them when I'm just using their services.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

I don't believe online casinos enjoy seeing a gambler lose money.

That's true but nevertheless they never loose if a gambler looses or win and as the fact says, they earn a commission from every gamblers attempt to bet and if they will they also have a little cut they benefits and if the gambler looses as well they have nothing to loose, what the casinos work on is to generate traffic, whereby alot of gamblers will be using their platform to gamble and place bet in which they have their own little incentives from only this actions alone.

I'd like to believe that they only want responsible gamblers to patronize them.

To give a patronage and stay, but what determines the gambler's stay is the satisfaction they derived in their customer service, starting from when they were been attended to on first approach.

I don't believe online casinos enjoy seeing a gambler lose money.

Whether they like it or not the house edge will beat gamblers in a long run, and they will not change that even if they will not enjoy seeing gamblers losing money, they have operational costs and profits to maintain

I'd like to believe that they only want responsible gamblers to patronize them. They believe they have a moral obligation to present some suggestions for responsible gambling to the general population. It is also logical to believe that if they could assess visitors for gambling addiction, those who failed the test would be banned from signing up.

That is why they have KYC and they asked for vital information to check if they have compulsive gamblers playing on their platform, and they don't want to get the blame for the miseries gamblers are facing with their losses

Because they can't, they've created a section of their website with guidelines for responsible gambling. So, even if the house always wins, which is good for their business, it is your responsibility to bet responsibly.

They can only advice but they cannot impose, it's hard to trace who among their players who are gambling irresponsibly and it would be unfair if they keep banning account without evidence of iresponsible gambling

The following are some of the responsible gambling guidelines I found on Livecasino.io, Duelbits, TrustDice, and others. They all have the same idea.
- Treat your betting and gaming as a form of entertainment and only use money that you have set aside for your entertainment.
- Do not bet or wager amounts larger than you are comfortable with.
- Do not bet or wager with money you cannot afford to lose.
- Do not chase your losses.
- Do not let your betting and/or gaming take up time that you would usually spend on other activities.

Not all gamblers will read this, they know, that they already know this but it's different when they are actually playing, although its recommended gamblers will always prefer experience than recomendation.
