Online Casinos Want you to Gamble Responsibly

Well, let's face it, online casinos aren't running a charity, they're in it to make some green. And how do they do that? By stacking the odds in their favor in games of chance, where the house always wins...eventually. So, the reality is that most players will be walking away empty-handed in the long run.

Online casinos benefit from players losing money, but they also benefit from players having a positive experience and the potential to return and play again in the future. That's why they push the whole "gamble responsibly" and "just for fun" thing - they don't want a bunch of unhappy losers badmouthing them through negative reviews or false accusations on social media, and potentialy ruining their reputation.

They have to take good care of their players because if all the gamblers become addict, it can also hurt the reputation of the site and of course there will be no gambler that can bring fresh money for the site, so this can be a big loss to them that's why they encourage everyone to be more responsible and don't gamble beyond their means. I believe this is also part of their strategy and yeah a corporate social responsibility, if the site cares about their players most probably they will attract more.

[virasisog]

I think they are just warning their players and reminding them to play and bet responsibly but they won't mind if players are falling into gambling addiction because it isn't their responsibility to monitor them. It is our personal obligation to control our gambling urge.
They are promoting responsible gambling but they wouldn't do it charitably because their main goal is to earn and to keep their business running. Business is business after all.

- 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.

It's part of their compliance that they have something like this, they want to be projected as an entertainment portal, not a platform where players will turn to addiction to gambling, but these are all recommendations it's not within their control if gamblers choose to play long hours and wage a lot of money, reputable casinos may see this as alarming but other casinos will see this as good for their business.

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.

I believe that yes they have still the concern and hearte to its gamblers. But we as gambler and people should be responsible for everything, no matter how many times they will keep on saying these things and will show up even in the front page of their pages if you will not understand this thing and take it to your heart and mind you will eventually fall into greed if you let your emotions go before you, if you still want to chase the losses yes I know no one wants to have a losses or go into deficit but the thing is we have the control to our life.

A responsible gambler is the best gambler because he is a returning customer. People who go all in will lose everything they got and they won’t be playing anymore because a person like that can’t have a job and a guy with no job can’t earn money. The casino don’t want that. They don’t want their customers to lose their life savings. That’s no good for the both player and the casino. A gambler that plays every week with the 10% his income is a better customer than a guy that wagers his whole paycheck.

This is all on paper though. If the player wants to go all in, nothing can stop him from doing so. There will always be some people that want to get poor by their own will.

[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 

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.

Self-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.

yes, the difference was that before I played gambling on the street to get money now people easily play gambling through their cellphones without knowing their age but that might be a problem if you have to be asked to complete KYC, but as it is said that everything returns to our own control because winning comes from there

[maydna]

If many casinos have such responsible gambling guidelines, we as gamblers should not treat gambling beyond these limits so that it will not have bad consequences for us. We should treat gambling as entertainment and not expect too much from gambling to earn much money.

We can enjoy gambling by using money as needed and not exceeding our set limits. We are responsible for ourselves and our money, so we must remember that gambling is entertainment.

It is true that online casinos want you to gamble responsibly, but not all of them. Some casinos and even online sports betting platforms are concerned that there users do not become irresponsible gamblers and they go ahead to make effort still with their name telling people to "gamble responsibly".

On television, I was happy to see recently an advert from ''BETKING'', a popular sport betting platform telling people to know when to stop gambling. This is a part of a campaign that the company launched to promote responsible gambling.

BetKing, has launched a campaign themed ‘Kings Know when to stop’ that aims to encourage a responsible gaming ecosystem by educating players on the importance of betting responsibly.

A statement by the organization said the campaign features a three-part TVC that encourages players to maintain responsible gaming behaviors by recognizing and sticking to their limits.

It proves that truly some casino's and other gambling platforms are in support of responsible gambling.

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.

Smart casinos will always try caring for the mental and financial health of their customers, not only (and maybe not exactly) because it's a moral matter, but because a healthy gambler is much more profitable for the business, since he will maintain a frequent activity on the platform on long term, while a problem gambler may spend tons of money at once, but won't be able to come back to play again, since he will be bankrupt and restricted from gambling.

Some online casinos may have programs and practices to help their customers play wisely and maintain financial and mental health.
However, this can vary from casino to casino, and not all online casinos apply the same standards.
There are several things that online casinos can do to help their customers play wisely, such as providing information on playing responsibly, limiting the amount of money that can be withdrawn each day, and providing tools to limit the time to play or the amount of money that can be spent.
However, this doesn't mean that all online casinos do this, or that they do it effectively. Therefore, it is very important for customers to do research and understand what an online casino has to offer before deciding to play.
In general, it is important for customers to play wisely and take care of their financial and mental health by understanding the risks and limiting the time and money they risk.

[bittraffic]

Aren't casinos just playing with us? Casino is a business and they know whoever has money will spend to make money.
A few responsible guidelines will do but this is the same as those tokens in ICO where they are telling users to invest money they can afford to lose but after a few pep talks, they will also tell investors they can't make a huge profit if investors risk too little amount.

The case e.g. what has happened to online sports betting, which over the years has become widespread, people who in their lives no had followed one sport, Now make bets.

I mean, in a certain way, one would expect the bet to be really recreational and in that sense, he would bet on a sport that he likes and that he knows in a certain way.

That way the bettor could say "my team didn't play well, things didn't work out, etc.".

They doesn't even think about losing money, having bad luck, making a mistake, etc.  That is a bet for entertainment and fun, bet on your team and on the sport you know.

So, it is something organic that should be given that way, you do not need to read it, since reading it will not change your orientation in that "healthy" feeling of gambling for entertainment.

Those warnings from the casino are there as a legal and social order matter, it's like the signs to keep quiet in a library, well many may not even know that such a thing exists, but they are there.

With all this, what I am saying is that almost always the people who have problems with any type of betting is that they do not have prior learning, either because, as in the case of sports betting, they never even follow a sport, they do not manage statistics ( or something simple like a fan's intuition.   ) and So every time they lose it's the casino's fault or their bad luck.

Then! Anyone who I suspected is prone to situations of anxiety, depression, stress and even more so if they have gambling problems should stay away, yes or yes, from a casino, it is the only solution, some clauses are not going to save them.

[dothebeats]

While I think some of these casinos have the genuine care on their players, some of them are posting messages such as this for the gamblers to not think that the casino is their enemy and is there solely to take their money. It feels like it's a psychological trick that they're applying on users for them to continue playing as long as it's within a set budget that the gambler allots for their gambling activities.

Well if I were the gambler and sees that the casino somewhat cares about my well-being, I would be grateful and, in a way, will be supporting the casino even more.

Tobacco companies in my country print boldly "Smokers a liable to die young" on every pack of cigarettes they produce and sell. I feel that they are doing this because the government mandates that. If they are concerned about the health of smokers, they would have simply stopped production.

Casino companies are not charitable organizations they are open for profit making. And they make more money when gamblers lose more and if nobody losses for some time the casino might go bankrupt. They might not want people to become addicts because it could lead to unfavorable government policies but they won't deny that they want to make a profit.

Then their psychological tricks is effective.

Somehow I believe that they were just following some guidelines to prevent some violation but they love their players losing money since it's still a business at the end of the day. Although, this should be followed to all of the casinos to let their players or potential players to be aware of what should be the results of their hasty decision.

It's up to the people/gamblers to control everything on their own after those reminders.

This thread reminds me of smoking products, on the outside of the package there is a warning sign written about the dangers of smoking. referring to what is stated on the cigarette packaging, I do not see that it is part of the cigarette manufacturer's moral obligations. but they are obliged to give this warning, due to regulations from the law that must be included in each cigarette pack.  but in fact, the number of smokers is increasing despite the warnings printed on each pack.

On the other hand, this thread illustrates what I demonstrated with a cigarette manufacturer. nevertheless, I will be happy to accept it kindly, if these guidelines are purely based on moral obligations because they have quite positive values. in practice, however, these guidelines appear to be allegory. because after all, to be a responsible gambler is not as simple as it says according to these guidelines.

I think they just want to survive in the long run that is why they are reminding their gambler to be a responsible gambler.
For me it is all just a business if the gambler lost too much on them and started bad mouthing their website it could affect their future clients, plus they would lose those who are constantly losing too much money on their site.
I think they just want the gambler to be responsible so that it could keep on coming back to them.
P.S it is only my opinion about this topic and how I see it.

You believe right

There are two possibly best outcomes for a casino.
- A player stays at 50% win rate and keeps coming back and playing on regular basis. The casino earns its fee, has a high online count, the gambler is happy because he loses one day but comes back and wins it all back the next time. The player leaves positive reviews, maybe invites others to play.
-A player wins, comes back with a lot of money and loses it all fast. The casino earns in a single day more than that player would be able to bring in fees and entries in a few years.

They can be happy with a gambler who loses and never comes back as long as it's a lot of money. Each player has a value to the business and you can bring that value in 5 years or in 1 day.

[cabron]

They promote responsible gambling and encourage players to spend within thier means. Very ironic but these casinos also provide hotline for users with a gambling problems. 

While I believe they have written those words, it seems like it's to cleanse the guilt. In a way, the guidelines pave the way to make gamblers feel safer while losing money.
