Navigating the World of Online Gambling

[jrrsparkles]

Protect Your Privacy, Be extremely cautious with your personal information. Never disclose sensitive data to anyone claiming to be from the casino, as this could be a ploy to steal your funds or identity. Legitimate casinos won't ask for this information upfront.

Casinos have the right to ask for personal ID verification even the source of incoming funds if they feel anything suspicious regarding the account but the point is it only happens via the platform so never respond to someone who is contacting you in any other way like email or telegram are most likely impersonators. So be cautious when receiving emails because scammers are getting more creative and will make you feel exactly the same as received from the official email of the particular casino.

These way good tips and they should be taken into serious note since online crypto gambling is booming overall, especially post covid era.

Correct, at that point gamblers only have two options, to comply with the request of the casino or to ignore it and give up the money on their accounts and the account itself.

However, there is not really a scenario in which the gambler will get their way and make a withdrawal without identifying themselves, as before they even opened an account they had to agree to have read and comply with whatever is stipulated there, and as such they have no recourse they can use to refuse to do so.

They don't have to if there is nothing to hide in my opinion, of course as you said they are supposed to know their terms about KYC/AML policies at the time of signing up but usually 99 out of 100 people choose to ignore it and will face the consequences when it backfires at them.  Maybe some casinos may terminate the account and allow the users to withdraw the remaining funds but its a very rare occurrence so no one should hope that they will end up in that place if something goes wrong.

So the point is always to read the terms before choosing the casino and only accept if you are sure about that and never try to proxy your geolocation with VPN if you are from a restricted country.

Those who are able to understand them as addicts should share their gambling thought with someone they trust so that he can give him good suggestions to recover from his addiction.

Addiction is becoming something that we all need to talk about and explain that to the newbies especially those people that have not gained some certain experience as a gambler.

in fact, people who have been in the world of gambling for many years and who are the biggest addicts to gambling, the addiction does not happen immediately when a person creates an account at the casino, it takes months or years for a person to start becoming addicted to gambling and see that even in the case of addiction there are levels that the addict goes through, for example there is that addict who is still in the first phase where he uses money that he can only afford to lose, but he He can't stop playing, he can't say to himself: "I'm going to spend two months without playing, I'm going to spend two months without entering a casino" and keep that promise. When he says this, hours later he is already playing and only after finishing the game does he start to regret breaking that promise.

and he makes the same promise again and breaks it again, this is the addict who is in the initial stages, then we have the addict who is in the intermediate stages who has money to gamble but loses everything at the casino, then when he doesn't have money, he borrows money for other people and when he manages to have money then he pays off every loan, he tries to stop playing and not take out more loans but he can't do that, every time he takes out a loan to play and loses everything and after he pays off the loan he feels sorry, these are intermediate level addicts, they are still aware that they need to stop gambling, but unfortunately they can't and they are afraid and ashamed to tell the whole truth to their family

Then we have the serious level addict, this is the most worrying level because the person plays a lot and loses a lot, the person no longer cares about financial self-control, they sell everything they have to continue playing, they can't get money without thinking about putting it in. in gambling, at this level some misfortune always happens that leads the whole family to learn that he is addicted to gambling and this causes ugly fights in the family and the solution becomes to admit the addict to a rehabilitation clinic and this often causes that the addict doesn't understand that it's something good for him and ends up hating his family

I fall under the category of those gamblers who take a break after losing a decent amount of money in gambling.
Mostly the breaks are for few weeks until I make a new deposit again and start gambling.
I think it is necessary to take short breaks so that we don't get addicted to gambling.
It also makes us a responsible gambler by keeping a track of our losses.

This is a great practice as a gambler. This is highly recommended for those gamblers who are unable to stop and get addicted eventually. Chasing your loss instead of taking a break to analyze what your mistakes are is not what a responsible gambler would do. It's all about the psychology that goes on in our heads. The best way to counter this is to take a break from what is causing the issue. The moment we divert our mind from gambling, we can realize the mistakes. Because our mind won't be in a rush.
Only taking short breaks won't help totally if you don't want to get addicted to gambling. But it is a great practice. It will minimize your losses.

This is good because you can indirectly limit and control the gambling activities that you have carried out because most of the gamblers out there still find it difficult to stop gambling when they lose and they are more likely to choose to continue playing or betting in the hope of catching up on their losses.
When you can stop easily to rest then you have become a great gambler and not all gamblers can be like you.

Moreover taking a break when you experience defeat can make you calmer easier to control your emotions and of course you can come back again in the future full of confidence.

This can happen to those who are not the real addicted gamblers and for those addicted gamblers they don't have break, they are always to gamble whether they loss or not. As for me, I take break every time I lose a game. If the loss is not big, I would take a short break and if the loss is big, guys I took a long break to forget about the money first before coming back to the gambling field again.

Check the Casino's Reputation, Before you jump into any online casino, take some time to research its reputation. Find out if others have used this casino and whether they've been able to successfully withdraw their winnings. A trusted casino should have a track record of fair payouts.

Assess the Casino's History, Investigate how long the casino has been in operation and the level of trust it has built among its customers. Older, well-established casinos often have a better reputation for fairness and reliability.

This two part are the areas which I consider very necessary and should be treated as a must do or check before one can make move to enter any casino, as with this one can be able to at least have few information that will help in their better understanding on how the casino operates and all of that, and another thing is that they can also see if their have been any previous report of suspicious activity conducted and carried out by the casino management.

And it's also very important to check the T&C of every casino first before making any single deposit, especially on the region restriction if their is any of such case, so that ones fund don't get stuck as soon as they have been deposited and also on the deposit page minimum deposit amount should be carefully check as lot of such mistake has done gamblers lot of harm as such funds wont be credited into the users account unless is a Casino is a friendly one which they can assist the person on the recovery process.

This must be the most important thing to do before we enter to the online casino as we all know that once we are greedy to play then there's a possibility that the casino we played is a untrusted which means they are scammers. So it's better to have a sources that we can check and know more about that casino in order to prevent such mistakes. And research is a must , finding the comments from other gambler who has the experience of that casino .

[Negotiation]

As interesting as this advice sounds, its the most complicated part of a gambling life, when it gets to the point where you can't stop no more, you wouldn't remember you have to take a step back, there is always an imaginary voice that tells you to take "one more stroke' and the expectations are beyond that stroke and thats how you get rekt.

It's all complicated but I think all these problems can be solved by gambling responsibly. Socialization mental development and skill improvement are some of the benefits you will enjoy while gambling. Most of the time negative effects come when gambling becomes an addiction the best way to enjoy gambling is to do it in moderation because like everything else in life moderation is key. Also taking a break from gambling responsibly if losses are high not using gambling as a source of income gambling only with money you can afford to lose and setting limits for yourself can cure addiction.

All points mentioned by the op are all good and acceptable to me, except the one which talks about protecting ones privacy and all that..

Talked about legitimate casinos not asking for customer's private data upfront. Well; things are changing rapidly and am afraid that such is no longer the case with some reputable casinos, there are some really reputable casinos where a gambler won't be allowed to make a deposit if he or she does not verify his account by passing the kyc verification, and we all know what this means.., it means submitting your private information to the casino for verification, before you are given the opportunity to even try out the casino and see if you will like it or not.

But then, aside the above, I can say that every other points made by the op are really good and interesting points.

Yeah but even at such,  most of the casinos including stake doesn't requires kyc verification before depositing or withdrawing from the casino,  like in my case I don't think I did any secondary verifications,  aside for the email verification that I did for a reason of 2FA security.

But I know some other users whose identity will be demanded for verification at the point of account creation,  so this varies from person to person and IPs also contribute as to how frequently KYC could be triggered for your account.

If you're an active gambler, it will become hard for you to know when you're getting addicted because you consider gambling to be a regular activity you do but there are some signs you need to be watching out for to know that you're beginning to over gamble like always chasing after losses or exceeding your gambling budget and going to borrow money or make use of money that was allocated for something different that isn't gambling.

When you're an individual with discipline, you can easily identify when you're getting addicted because things will begin to change and you can take precautions before it gets to late. Addictions aren't easy to break out from so it's better not to get addicted while gambling.

I also take a break when I am in a losing streak.  I often times take a break for a week to a months depending on my mood.  I do the break to refresh all my gambling activities since I observed that I have a better chance of winning after taking a break for some time.

I also agree that a gambler can hardly notice that he is starting to get addicted to gambling, as a matter of fact many players just found out that they are already addicted so it is hard for them to resist gambling since the uncontrolled urge is already there. 

So to avoid such incidents, we must always try to reflect or have a regular personal check on the signs of gambling addiction so we can stop it before gambling addiction takes over our urges.

Once losses go above the budget then the problem starts and the fix was to limit the losses and set up a strict budget for gambling and follow it strictly.

This is a must-do before depositing money at new casinos. We know that there are a lot of new online casinos that are popping out right now as it is a business that is profitable. That is why there are tons of people interested in it but there are still people who just want to scam other gamblers. It is because there are tons of gamblers online and they got easily baited mostly if there was a promise of a bonus upon signing up which turns out they couldn't get and also they couldn't withdraw their money. Research is the key to not falling into their hands.

Forum is one of the sources of information once you are checking the reputation of a casino like here because most of the gamblers here will give their advice and reviews on that casino because if you search it in google there is a higher chance that you visited a website that was paid by that casino to falsely advertise their platform by giving good feedback.

You guys all have good advice here, but at times, it's easier said than done and no matter how you advise many gamblers, it will always fall on deaf ears. The reason is that we have different mind strengths, some people's minds are so weak and will never yield to correction even if they know what you are saying is the rightest thing to do. This is why addictions fall on people differently. It's good for those who are weak in mind to know their weaknesses and admit it, it helps them better to quit or take a break when they know they are doing what they shouldn't do.

The addiction with some people gambling still baffles people with strong minds, including me, but I never blame them since we are not made the same way unless we deceive ourselves. Yet, they should not be celebrating their weakness, they should rather discover themselves and know their strengths and weaknesses so as to help themselves in dealing with personal and mental situations.

It's called self-control/willpower and it varies as you said from person to person. Personally, I have great self-control which I am proud of though past mistakes helped me improve my self-control to a great extent.

The gamblers who learn from their mistakes and improve usually turn out to be the ones beating the house in the long-term.

[wiss19]

There are some gamblers who come to know about their addiction to gambling even after a long time.

They barely come to know about it, or they simply don't acknowledge the fact that they are addicted.

There are many people who do not understand the addiction even after gambling for a long time.

I don't think it's about a lack of understanding or anything but it's just that they keep ignoring it.

Gambling has negative effects mainly for those who do not understand the addiction.

It has adverse effects for those who can't get out of it as long as they do not acknowledge that they have a problem to deal with.

There are some gamblers who take a break from gambling temporarily when they lose their money and become active again after managing their money.

Taking breaks is a good way to keep yourself safe from excessive losses because you can't stop losing if you keep gambling even when you are constantly losing.

[Stedsm]

Your initiative to teach people about gambling is nice @OP but I think that it's something that we all know already. Honestly speaking, the best thing to do is not to gamble if you fear losing your funds completely. And if you play with the funds you can afford to lose and do it for fun purposes, then there's nothing out there that can make you depressed doing it.

[tusandii]

Once losses go above the budget then the problem starts and the fix was to limit the losses and set up a strict budget for gambling and follow it strictly.

Online gambling is always tempting because it can always be accessed anytime and anywhere so it will be a little difficult for someone to stop betting because they have access to continue visiting the online site and if that is difficult, planning funds for gambling and limiting losses or limiting winnings is the way to go. It best to avoid bad things that will happen if you continue betting on gambling and I remember that controlling emotions is also important when it comes to gambling because these emotions can prevent us from committing to something that has been planned.
Always obeying the rules that have been planned independently and adhering to the budget that has been planned in advance will make gamblers healthier in terms of betting without spending a lot of money and money in their savings.
