Risk management and responsible gaming

[mirakal]

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

Governments and several organisations work to encourage responsible gaming. This involves establishing betting restrictions, offering support to those who think they have a gambling problem, and participating in self-exclusion programmes.

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.

I guess OP might somehow be confused about responsible gaming and responsible gambling but let's focus on responsible gambling. Yes, you are right with this that the government does not care about us but cares on the funds that they can collect from those casinos. So as a gambler, it's our responsibility to limit our exposure in gambling and control ourselves not to completely bite the urge in gambling. Note that there is high risk from losing in gambling and if you are greedy and become uncontrollable when gambling, you will fall as an irresponsible gambler.

Government are also the one encourage to gamble like the lottery which is I think not ethical considering they are the one asking people to encourage responsible gambling as well. They may not consider it a gambling but in my area you likely have to like bet 3x in a day in a lottery and I guess that's already gambling in its form.

Yeah, we've got the public lottery and a portion of the funds collected from it are also going to the charity. While the winners of that lottery really are winning a lot of money. Although there's a controversy right now on this matter but if its' the government that allows this, there's no problem at all but in morals, you are the one to consider it and still be responsible.

That's good that it's giving back to charity and being used by the public but what's worst if it just ends up on somebody else's pocket. In morals I think that's the one that affects you and those who are close to you considering it may end up with some problem that there's something to bet for rather than putting a food on the table.

Gambling addiction primarily impacts one's ability to make sound financial decisions and may occasionally lead to involvement in criminal activities. However, it generally does not have a direct impact on one's physical health or the overall state of environmental tranquility. Consequently, I believe that government-imposed restrictions and regulations on gambling often serve more as a means of generating revenue rather than genuinely controlling and addressing behavioral issues.

Help yourself to become a responsible gambler. Not all the time we need to rely on institutions.

Responsible gambling is always the header of any gambling platform but these companies doesn't bother if you will fall crazy on gambling.

If you don' help yourself to become responsible, I don't want to think what will happened to you next.

We all have this kind of regulations and yes casinos are already following such rules because they have to unfortunately, there are still cases that ended up into a worst situation and the responsible gambling option is not serving its purpose. I believe a strong implementation of this should always start from the casino itself and they have to help their gamblers be more healthy while gambling to avoid serious problems. Being responsible in gambling is a must, don't be greedy and always know your limit, gambling should be more fun.

Could you provide us with an example of a government and certain organizations that are addressing this issue?

Sorry, but I don't really know if there are any that exist, maybe some exist but they are not controlled by the government. They could be private institutions, either paid or free, but not big enough to cover or solve the community's problem. Actually, it's not so necessary; if gambling addiction worsens, the government can decide to ban gambling because if they don't build their own solutions, it would result in them losing revenue from the gambling industry.

Overall, the government prioritizes the welfare of the many, so if there's no other way to save people from addiction, banning would be the last option.

We must be responsible gamblers so that we don't become addicted to gambling because becoming addicted to gambling is something that can destroy our lives. We have to try on our own without needing help because if we can be responsible in gambling, we will not experience gambling addiction. And by being responsible gamblers, we won't be tempted to gamble too often because we don't want to get into trouble later.

If we don't want to help ourselves, who will? We have to care about ourselves, and then we can ask for help from others. And if we can prevent gambling too often, we have done what we can to prevent gambling addiction.

Casino initially plays against the players, why did you decide that the casino will help the player with something? Everyone should be responsible for themselves, you come to the casino in order to play against him and here everyone is responsible for their actions. If you follow the risk of management, then you will have a chance to avoid many problems that an irresponsible player may encounter. Discipline is only your responsibility.

The government has a moral obligation to its people to protect them and no government will allow moral decay in its society one example of this is Australia, they impose heavy restrictions on their people who are losing a lot of money from online casinos.
But gamblers also have to do their share they are the ones who will suffer the most from losing their wealth and their minds, another consequence is losing their family.
Gambling addiction is everybody's problem and has an effect on society, so the government, the family, and the individuals should do their share to gambling addiction and education is the key to stopping and combating addiction

Yeah, that's why we see government's left and right trying to ban or stop gambling regardless of its form (online and physical) because they're thinking of the welfare of their citizens.

Despite that, there are still a lot of citizens that won't even let the government stop them but they know the law and understands what's in it.

banning would be the last option.

Even with that, there are gamblers that won't just go what's being implemented. They'll still do things that are beyond their actions just for them to keep going.

Yes, that's the danger of addiction, so there's nothing we can do except starting from ourselves, preventing anything that will harm ourselves, don't let the people around us get the bad effects of our behavior when gambling, for example our family or wife and children, as long as you Still being able to control yourself in gambling will not be a problem but it will be a problem if you cannot control yourself when gambling.

As much as possible, don't become an addict and bother the people around us, let alone ask other people for help to get rid of our addiction, obviously that is very troublesome, always remember that gambling has risks and we bear the risks ourselves and it is our job to care for ourselves.

Responsible gambling relates to how you as a gambler may bet responsibly, whereas responsible gaming refers to how the operator can promote responsible gambling.

Some examples of responsible gaming include the promotion of marketing and advertising, as well as the provision of items to players that can be used to set gambling limits. When a responsible gambler discovers that he consistently loses every time he plays gambling, he first discontinues his regular gambling habit or does not gamble when he knows he has been drinking. These are only a few examples of each type.

Yeah, that's the worry that we're having when it's not really going to what it should be going. But let them be, if they're doing their jobs correctly and honestly, there's nothing to worry about. And if they're not doing it and they're just putting it on their pockets, that's hard to think of what they're feeding their families out of that.

As much as possible, don't become an addict and bother the people around us, let alone ask other people for help to get rid of our addiction, obviously that is very troublesome, always remember that gambling has risks and we bear the risks ourselves and it is our job to care for ourselves.

Even if we want to say this to some people, they just can't help themselves and they'll still get addicted no matter what we want to remind them. It's that they've got their choices to stop themselves and control the addiction that they have but it's kind of hard.

Is this enough to stop addiction? I'm wondering why many are still broke and falling into this trap in gambling.
We know the bad result of too much exposure in gambling, I think its better if every company will have their own time limit when you gamble? Well this is still business and their priority is to get more gamblers involve as much as possible. If you know someone who are struggling and prone to addiction, help them to recover and encourage them to seek professional help because addiction is not a joke, it can ruin your life.

[Gozie51]

What you just stated here does not affect the risk management of individuals in gambling. The government enforcing restriction to gamblers is not because of their willingness to 'help' the gambler control their funds, but instead it's because of them wanting to curb the addiction of the gambler while it's still on its early stages. It has nothing to do with risk management but rather prevention of further damage to already-addicted individuals looking to change their ways.

Part of other reasons that government could want to place restrictions on gambling is also for the purpose of licensing and tax collection on the casinos. The government like to have data base of what is under them for easy accessibility for them during their periodic verification and accountability. So the age of those gambling isn't just all about the restrictions, it is a total package of who gets what and who does what.

I feel like this has become just an old concept that are thrown out there to silence the critics and the haters and the licensing authorities. Do we really think an industry that are profit driven ..... care about people gambling responsibly? They lose money, when people practice responsible gambling.. and they should actively be engaged to prevent gambling addiction.

There should be AI used to detect signs of gambling addiction in an early stage and they should engage with those gamblers to prevent this from getting out of control, before it is too late.

The economy is not allowing people to think straight anymore so talking of gambling as responsible is not really some people think all people care about now is how to get morning for their sustenance. they forget that part-taking is another great part of destruction if they are consumed by gambling addiction. and even in most of their adverts they always encourage people to gamble responsibly but everyone has a life to live they don't care what they say in their adverts. Gambling has made a lot of people broke and at the same time has given a lot of people wealth at the same time. just that the negative aspect is more than the positive aspect. even people who are affected know that they are affected.

In a time of having a time limit to gambling, I don't think the company will put such a policy in place considering that there is 18 plus policy so they believe the person should make the best decision for themselves self so it will be difficult and they are also making good money from it and even people that place bet also make there money from it. in addition to what you said if it gets to addiction is better to get help.

not sure if it has been answered by other people here but in my opinion the method you say is unlikely to work smoothly and is not as easy as we think to manage these risks.

I will talk about online gambling (not land based gambling) setting betting limits will not quit those who want to bet large amounts and there are always ways such as using their friends or family accounts and setting betting limits will not be able to quit this. and then offering support, I admit it is very helpful for those who have problems with addiction but it does not rule out the possibility of stopping gamblers from betting recklessly because controlling emotions is always the end of all this.
and the self exclusion program may sound a little effective, but all of this requires a great deal of awareness for each gambler because if it is done forcefully, I think self exclusion will only be in vain.

with everything I said it does not mean I am skeptical in that way but for me its too complicated. I mean gambling responsibly and not spending a lot of money on gambling, its actually very easy, just understand self control and know how gambling is structured.

Governments have been concerned regards gambling practice on their territories since a long time, with many of them completely banning the activity from their areas, while others are more concerned about it only now, due to the fast spread internet and cryptocurrency have proportionated to the industry. The worries are caused by religious beliefs, income evasion to foreigner companies and potential damage to the health and financial life of the citizens involved in gambling. There is a consensus nowadays gambling has to be practiced with limits and ethics, and those who don't follow these basic guidelines are completely out of the game.

[asyakashi]

Does that mean the government helps gambling? it's interesting and usually it's opposite. what I understand is that the government wants gamblers to get fair play while they are gambling. I think it's always contradictory because I'm sure many countries prohibit gambling although not all countries, but what you say is quite interesting if the government steps in to deal with unfair gaming.
