Risk management and responsible gaming

Responsible gambling is not the same as responsible gaming. You can play game to gamble but you can also play game not to gamble.

Your post is just like a conclusion and does not worth it at all.

Just take note that the government do not care. It is you that will go for the option of self exclusion, not the government that will do that for you. And the best way you can help yourself is to discipline yourself.

If you go to Africa, Asia, South America and many other countries, you will see that gambling is more regulated in a way that tax are collected to the government, also in other countries, but some countries still regulate gambling more than the way some other countries do.

Governments in which countries are making efforts to encourage responsible gaming?
Remember that not all countries have given permission to gambling activities and the small number that allow it also don't really care about it because they only aim to collect money from any taxes requested whether the game is responsible or not and offer support to gamblers who getting into trouble is not a matter for the local government because there are certain gambling authorities that regulate or have rights in matters like this.

But actually from what you said in this thread there is still a little confusion about the purpose of making this thread because you did not write in detail about the goals and objectives that you might want.

Yes, but still boils down as whether gamblers are willing to go to this kind of phase just to be able to quit gambling for good. For me the best recourse is to really stop dead. Which means its going to be very hard in the beginning, but at least you don't to go to this kind of support or any other programs in my opinion.

Really up to the individual to really push himself if his goal is to quit. Of course, you can ask for self-inclusions or get the support from the government like undergoing rehab and stuff like that. The important thing is to regain control of yourself. Get your self a hobby or continue what you are doing before you become a addict and talk to your family.

Is there a question in this somewhere?

The complex relationship between governments and gambling... Ever notice how most governments seem to have a love-hate relationship with gambling? On one hand, they're all about those tax dollars rolling in from casinos and lotteries. But when it comes to helping folks with gambling issues, it's like they're suddenly MIA. I mean, they're not exactly losing sleep over folks with gambling problems.  It's more about their own financial interests.

Gamblers need to be responsible when gambling so they do not have gambling problems. Each gambler should have implemented this to avoid problems after problems that arise after gambling. And if the government is willing to help people already experiencing gambling addiction problems, that is an appreciation that should be welcomed by those who feel they have gambling problems. However, not many gambling addicts are willing to admit that they are facing a gambling addiction problem. If gambling addicts want to admit it and go to a rehabilitation center provided by the government, they can be treated and cured immediately. And the healing process may not take long if there is strong support from the people around him such as other family members.

You're talking about offline casino, but here in this forum most of the casinos are online version.

Online casino has less or no intervention by government, licensed casinos are obviously restrict many countries that where gambling is illegal, but if they're not licensed, the casino has a chance to accept every countries to gamble.

There are a lot of non-profit organizations who work to try to let people know the dangers of gambling. But the question is, how effective it is, do we have the numbers that will tell us that indeed they were able to control gamblers or lessen it?

That is already a given fact, again, the burden is on the gamblers whether they admit that they have addiction or not. So before this kind of programmes are to be effective, everything should come for the gamblers themselves. Otherwise, it will just be a cycle of getting back and relapses and so gamblers starting to gamble again as they are just forced into this programmes.

What's your point? We all know that governments and several other organisations work to encourage responsible gambling. But what is the point you are trying to prove?

There are several helpline available to council the problematic gambling behaviour. Medical help through psychiatrists are also available at free of cost in many countries. But does it really help to reduce the problematic gambling behaviour?

How do you mean? Or you talking of the act of gambling?
I think most government don't have a hand in gambling and it is not their business the way you spend your money in gambling. Those government that collect tax in gambling casino go after the casinos for the tax, license them, put some restrictions but I can't say if they actually follow up on those restrictions.

You have to be responsible to your self. Don't wait for government to tell you that you need to gamble just as you can bear the risk. Make your budget on your bankroll and follow it.

There is no doubt that responsibility must really be applied there, this is always the beginning of them experiencing a long downturn, because in the absence of a strong sense of responsibility that should be before playing they apply it then it is clear that if in the end they lose they will not be able to accept the defeat, and surely lust will control him. As we know that such a cycle in gambling is very dangerous, if it is not handled quickly then the next time they will gamble with the term digging holes closing holes, meaning looking for victory to cover losses in the previous time. And I say it will continue indefinitely and obviously there will be a lot of problems that come especially in terms of finance.

Honestly, I would appreciate if there is a government in a country that pays attention to the problems experienced by its people, especially in gambling, as in general the government has a fairly broad power and with that maybe they have opportunities and solutions that make more sense to help some of their people who experience problems like this, I think that the rehabilitation center will be the main solution or the main action that the government will take for them, this is pretty good if it happens.

Everybody is accountable for the decisions they make in life. It is our responsibility to gamble moderately since we will suffer the consequences alone. But some governments mainly in developed nations really care about the health of their citizens. The UK
gambling commission offers free self-seclusion and other services to people suffering from disorder. Some nations are making policies to reduce gambling addiction regardless of the financial implications. The proposed law that will ban the use of credit or debit cards for crypto gambling in Australia will reduce the income revenue of gambling firms. And the government tax revenue will decline with this recent development.  However the government of that nation is not considering the negative financial implications of this restriction  because they care about the well-being of citizens.

Please provide a source to make this thread even more relevant.

Never heard of the government encouraging them to be responsible, but the government only makes rules about gambling. In fact, there are still pros and cons to its legality and prohibiting it, so there is no encouragement whatsoever from the government unless we ourselves are aware of it.

The government is only responsible for its regulations, if there is a problem with someone who is heavily addicted to gambling then their solution is to go to a psychologist and tell him how to stop gambling.

Not all governments have that kind of program. The discussion goes like this: gambling is often considered a big problem when, in fact, it's not. In reality, the gambling industry, which makes billions of dollars yearly, contributes to the government in terms of taxes. So, the government cannot be too serious about educating people, especially on the negative side, as it could discourage them from gambling.

There's no logic in that; why would they discourage people when they are benefiting from the tax remittance of casinos?

Simply putting "be responsible when gambling" is enough to remind gamblers to gamble responsibly.

I think Australian government actually play active role in make policy that will interfere with the gambling of their citizens. They do this by placing restrictions on deposits, placing limits and sometimes outright ban of some gambling companies.

Unlike the Australian government, there is no restriction or interference whatsoever,  even though we have a government agency that supposedly regulates gambling. Their policies as well as the implementation are rarely felt.

Responsible gambling is not the same as responsible gaming. You can play game to gamble but you can also play game not to gamble.

Maybe it was a mistake on his part because gaming and gambling are entirely different things. People can play game for fun without comiiting money, unlike gambling, you must commit your funds unless you are given free bets.

Governments in every country in the world,even in the most developed ones do not really care about your or my health,mental health,social problems etc.They are forced to do this work and they do not really care if I or you have a gambling problem as long as we pay taxes to them and we stay humble even when the inflation rate like right now in most of the world is sky high,no they only care about their pockets.

In such programs like you mentioned sure may have been people who love to help others and may have some good cases which they have helped people get out of addiction but in the majority of the cases the governments do not care if I or you are deep in gambling addiction.

[dezoel]

Are you talking about land-based casinos or offline gambling? As far as I know, no governments are actually doing anything about responsible gambling in online gambling platforms, all they care about is taxing the casinos that have acquired their licenses from the licensing firms and authorities, other than that, I've never heard or saw anywhere where the government is striving to keep people safe from irresponsible gambling and making them gamble with care.

However, some online gambling platforms provide warnings to gamblers to gamble responsibly and not to spend more than what they can afford to lose, they also provide a self-exclusion option for gamblers who want to use that option so that they can limit themselves from excessive gambling.

So from now on, we must be able to be responsible for the money we use for gambling. Moreover, we have seen the impact that other gamblers receive when they use a lot of money without any self-control. We can experience more losses, which can be very painful to accept. If we don't have responsibility and self-control, we will just be like them, and in the end, gambling addiction will come to us without realizing it. By applying self-control, we have tried to prevent all the bad things that might happen so that we don't need to worry because we can handle them well. We can gamble calmly without any desire to chase a win.

A government that can do this will win the hearts of its people because the people can see that there is real action from the government to help overcome the problems that have existed for a long time. Perhaps the people will help with the program so that it can reduce the number of gambling addictions in the country. If it can be carried out more seriously, perhaps the country can really reduce the number of gambling addictions, and perhaps it will also become a model country for other countries with gambling addiction problems. In the future, there may be mutually beneficial cooperation between countries. What a beautiful dream

Honestly has there been any, can you give a recommendation or link to one so that we can use such as a reference for those that will need closer attention on such reagards, if we consider the way governments go against gambling and some other related activities on the same manner, one wouldn't have thought about if there could be any development coming from them to help gamblers have a better experience with gambling, though I know about NGOs that they can deem fit for these kind of offers because they help and assit indiscriminately to the welfare of the people, gambling could go more way better for those having difficulties with addiction and other challenges.

I'm confused, is this actually a question or a statement?

I think everyone needs to know the limits of gambling, how much money to use for gambling and the risks of gambling, all of these things are important so that gamblers know their financial condition and are ready to accept the worst consequences (losing the game). If all of this can be accepted with common sense then it is likely that they will be ready to take responsibility for their gambling. We need to be wise in using our money and dividing it for living needs, savings, and for fun (gambling).

Looking at the risks of gambling, if we fail to manage our finances then we could go bankrupt and have a lot of debt. That is something bad and no one wants to have a future like that. So when gambling we must understand the responsibility of gambling
