Gamble Responsibly

[Fivestar4everMVP]

I have seen in some cases of casinos that some of the users always blame the casino for fostering addiction, but this is something that cannot be done, the person who bets is not forced, the person plays under his own decision and bets what what you want, but in these cases, before entering casinos, they should state that every action that the players do is their Own and that the casino is not to Blame for possible addictions due to the loss of control of the player, and thus many problems would be avoided. Sometimes I see it on some sites, and so they don't get to ban it in some Countries for those Reasons.

In this case there is also no compulsion from the casino to gamble.
They only provide services, whether it will be useful or not, it is up to us as players whether we want to gamble or not.
Blaming the surrounding conditions for my own mistakes is quite stupid because something like this is clearly something that should not be done.
We gamble on our own free will, why blame other people or providers about things like that because when we are here, we indirectly know the consequences we should receive.

Yes, things work that way, but I have seen many who always look for a way to put all the blame on the casino and that all the addiction problems come from there, there are countries like the one I was in that banned casinos for For more than 20 years, a government that has maintained control forever and with the casinos as well, then with the excuse of protecting its people from possible addictions it banned them, at this time only in the capital of the country is the casinos being reactivated , so it is a very good option for the advertising of online casinos to begin to bear fruit to look for very potential clients.

Things that are prohibited by the state or the beliefs that they hold, in fact they still violate them, so it's not right to blame 100% on the casino provider. Besides, as many have said before, we are here without the slightest coercion, and we come of our own free will. Maybe one of the reasons why many blame casinos is that they carry out promotions, and in my opinion it is legal for all companies that want to promote their business, not just casinos. After all, everything goes according to the wishes of the gambler himself.

Like you said, the casinos aren't to blame, whether it be for addiction or whatever, like other businesses out there, the casinos owners are also running their business, and who ever chooses to create an account and gamble on a particular casino did so on his or her own freewill, he or she was not forced, and whoever is gambling should be matured enough to know how to control him or herself from getting addicted.

And again, promotion is very legal for every legitimate business out there, the fact casinos run promotion has nothing to do with gamblers getting addicted, addiction is majorly a fruit of lack of self control, not a fruit of promotion ran by the casino.

Both gamblers and casinos have the same goal, and that is to win. It's easy to understand that casinos should win because they have the edge, and that's the reason why the gambling industry is booming. We should gamble for fun and not try to destroy a very profitable industry. If we win, we should enjoy it because we are not lucky all the time. That should be our mindset instead of thinking that we can consistently make money in gambling. In reality, the more we push that belief, the riskier gambling becomes for us.

And again, promotion is very legal for every legitimate business out there, the fact casinos run promotion has nothing to do with gamblers getting addicted, addiction is majorly a fruit of lack of self control, not a fruit of promotion ran by the casino.

Indeed, as I mentioned, we have the same goal, and they (casinos) are marketing to increase their profits.

A professional gambler is someone who takes and carries gambling as a profession and is a full-time gambler. Of course, you can call them professional bettors since what they basically do is use different methods to get wins and avoid losses as much as they can. Their betting patterns and bankroll management skills are too good.

Do not let us deceive ourselves, there is nothing called professional gambler, it is just not true. No gambler should see themselves as professional, they should just see it as fun and entertain themselves with it.

it is not about the day the trader may lose, there are certainty that someone that depend on gambling may see himself as professional and later lose. The easiest way for a rich man to become poor is through gambling.

There is no deceiving in that, there are people who do this as a profession, and being professional doesn't just mean that they earn a lot of money through it, but they do manage themselves with it since they have large bankrolls and they know how to manage their risks and their bankrolls so that they don't lose everything they have.

I totally understand that gambling if on one side can give you big winnings if you are lucky, it can also ruin you in no time if you are recklessly gambling with everything that you have and that is what professionals don't do.

So to reach everyone (beginner gamblers or people who have the potential to become gamblers) needs a warning and also education from the government (especially in countries that legalize gambling) but I see that currently the government's role in educating their citizens is very minimal, they only busy with taxes from gambling but not focused on their citizens who are harmed by gambling addiction (as people who are responsible for citizens, they have no responsibility for gamblers).

Usually there are a seminar or event discuss about gambling addict problem by non profit organizations, usually it will launched in school because it's targeted for young kids. But this make the young kids who not school due to lack of financial will not learn about gambling addict, I think most of gambling addicts are come from uneducated people which lack of financial. So yeah, in order to safe it, all of young kids need to be facilitated by the government to make them school for free.

Back when I was still in college (I spoke for the area of my country), I also joined a non-profit organization for counseling on the negative effects of drug abuse and gambling, but now it seems that the organization has disbanded because it is no longer receiving funding from the authorities. So it's no wonder how many young gambling addicts appear here, it's all because they are not equipped with knowledge about gambling, so they do it without being fully responsible for themselves. In this case, of course, what should be blamed is the lack of attention from the government, but what can be done because the government nowadays is more concerned with their own stomachs and pockets than the younger generation.

Yes, I agree with you on this very statement of yours that truly when it comes to gambling addiction, majority of people who does that do it out of ignorance, and as such there should be need for public enlightenment, both in school and on the streets and market where all the kids can be found, about the danger and reasons why not to let themselves get carried away into such act. As the duty of building a better future tomorrow lies in the hands of each and everyone of us to keep on speaking the truth, no and moderate our gambling habit.

Even those organizations would exist it doesnt mean that it would completely be solving out such addiction problem but still better if these orgs would be existing considering that they would be stopping it somehow for those individuals who might cross into the line. As expected that these orgs cant really be that supported anytime by the government if we do speak about funding, this is why some do still ran off by
personal donations and other in kind which it is good but wont be something that sustaining and this is why its not shocking that they would be down or be stopped afterwards.

If we do try to zoom out then gambling industry do keeps on booming or progressing which does simply means that we are really that more prone to addiction specially into youth.
It cant be stopped as long it would really be completely prohibited. This would also vary on some countries or places because not all would really be legalizing
gambling but we know that there's only a few of them.

So at that casinos always aimed at reaching the heart of their players via their various promotions and this is some people have seen it as a ploy to lure gamblers who are trying to avoid excessive gambling.

But then the casino must continue with the business and at that that have to look away from every criticism and leaving the players to decide their gambling habits.

While that would be a good thing to do I doubt it will work, I say this because of a very obvious example that seems to contradict your conclusion that people become addicted to gambling because of ignorance, and the example I refer to is drug addiction.

All over the world there have been campaigns against the abuse of legal and illegal substances, and most of those campaigns have been aimed to the young, and despite all the money that has been directed to this purpose not only are drugs more available than at any other point in history, but their consumption has gone up as well, despite the fact that everyone knows that the abuse of those substances over the long term is going to be incredibly damaging to their body, their mind and their loved ones.

whenever I play any sort of gambling i no longer think that i could recover my money which i initially made as capital for that game, coz usually if you think about it, you will expect something out of it in the end, but what happens if you lose? correct, disappointment. i don't want to suffer from disappointments when my initial purpose in playing is just to enjoy and have a lesiurely time, and this is mostly what most gamblers cannot think whenever they are too invested on the game.

It is hard to beat the house in the first place. We should be aware of that before we start to gamble. Because of that, it's recommendable for the player to not get high hopes of winning over the casino. Although winning may be a primary goal, it can lead to disappointment if not achieved. Therefore it is best to set the entertainment goal over the profit goal. It also helps to avoid frustrations. Just enjoy spending within your means and only gamble with the amount of money that you can afford to lose.

It's not just hard to beat, it's impossible to beat, especially if we engage in long-term gambling. That's why we should never dream of becoming rich through gambling. Instead, we should be aware of the risks so that we can learn how to minimize them. Having this kind of awareness would also help us become responsible gamblers. As they say, experience is the best teacher, and I can attest that it's true. I have made a lot of mistakes before finally learning to be a disciplined gambler.

Never before has anyone in the history of gambling ever beaten the house edge in a casino, isn't right, nothing until now. It often happens that there are many losers who gamble by playing it.

That's why the problem is that the mindset of a gambler is why it comes to having an addiction to gambling which causes the destruction of many things and one of them is the family, personal, and others instead of just a hobby. what to do here.

Yeah, the house always has the big advantage and even luck is with you. If you don't know how to work with sooner or later, you'll
lose everything back and the house will win.

It's best to set your entertainment goals if you really wanted not to engage too much. I mean, if you don't have any plans to play for a long period
then just set your expectations and enjoy your stay while playing.

It's always your responsibility to protect and conserve your hard earned money. It's the first obligation that you need to remember.

They always win, it will not be lucrative if they aren't winning at all. It's a given that you won't be able to beat the whole house but it's a given as well that you're just winning it with other gamblers that plays with the casino.

Actually in this case we should know some awareness about this because after all, beating the gambling house is one of the things that is impossible to do regardless of how strong and how much capital we have.
On the other hand, there are of course some conditions where gambling remains an inseparable thing from us as gamblers but the intention should be a little more changed.
Winning is obviously an expectation but the main point is the thrill and fun it provides so we don't expect much from it.
Winning as such is just an added value to the fun it gives us.

Here are some Negative effects of excessive gambling.

Too much stress
Anxiety and Depression
Debt
Making wrong decisions

Just looking at the negative effects of gambling alone is enough for a regular person not to get involved into gambling that much.
Problem is, they look gambling as like a way for them to become rich in a quick way. They look gambling as a way for them to make their life better. Worse, there are some addicted gamblers who are doing some bad things, and sometimes brutal things just to have some funds that would be use to gamble.

I will just share a true story of our neighbor here in our place. He got addicted into gambling. So much that he will sell all of the things that he has. His property, his motorcycle, his phone, everything that he has just to have money to gamble. He would even rob into our neighborhood so that he can have the money. Unfortunately, he is in a state where he's crazy, depressed, and we often see him begging from different people so that he can have money now not to gamble, but to buy foods. Overall, he got addicted to gambling, and now he is having a hard time to the point that his family members are staying away from him already.

Gambling must not be your path to success, you will get rekt very fast.

Do not build any dreams around gambling at all.
Gamble for fun only, using small money that you aren't needing, and think about losing that money first, to make sure that you won't be needing the money if it's gone.
Take a break.
Play for fun.
Don't chase your losses.
Stick to your Limits.
Gamble Responsibly.

I wonder if there are some people who look gambling as a path to success? Is there any 

Anyway, for newbies out there, take OP's advice, and stick it to your head. Don't gamble that much because it will make you addicted. Have plans whenever you gamble. Having a good mindset before gambling will help you because it helped me. Overall, nothing is stopping us from gambling, but know when to gamble, and when not to gamble if needed.

And again, promotion is very legal for every legitimate business out there, the fact casinos run promotion has nothing to do with gamblers getting addicted, addiction is majorly a fruit of lack of self control, not a fruit of promotion ran by the casino.

It would be very strange if a company didn't do promotions, including casinos. How do you tell people they exist when they're not promoting anything? lol
I can't deny that there are still pros and cons in certain circles. But it all comes back to our own assessment, I also won't blame people who in the end they get addicted to gambling, because of course there are causes and effects. But again and again I will say that there is no compulsion here.
We can ask gamblers directly, did they come of their own volition or by force.

I must, with great respect, challenge the notion that casinos are the lone culprits of gambling addiction. Ultimately, it's the gambler who chooses to play and sets the stakes. Sure, promos and bonuses entice, but self-restraint is up to the individual. Gambling, akin to movies or sports events, offers entertainment. Casinos? Merely profit-seekers, like any business. Policing patrons isn't their gig. The onus lies with folks to own their actions and find help if needed.

Well just like I said earlier, casinos cent be blamed for players' actions since it's out of their control to detect players when and how to use their platforms, I don't really know how self-exclusion work in some casinos anyways because the majority of complaints we hear about casinos being responsible for some silly player addictions is based on one fact that.

When they already self-exclude themselves from the casino, they still receive promotional emails from the casinos which ultimately tempt them to return back to active gambling thereby luring them back into addictions.

So it will be better for casinos that offer self-exclusion to also wipe out players who use this option emails from their newsletter,  that way they won't continue to get the promotional offers via emails, and another way to do that os for the player to unsubscribed from newsletter before optioning out of the platform.

Casinos, just like any other business, will always come up with ways to make people spend more in their platform. The thing is, they can only encourage people to spend, not force them to do so. That decision will always be on the gambler, and while casinos may have some sort of help in making the gambler addicted, they're not the whole culprit.

If casinos making players spend is something unethical because it produces addicts, other industries should also stop their marketing strategies because it is making people lose money.
