Anti-Gambling Tools

[Mauser]

I'm curious if any of you have faced a similar situation and if there are tools or methods you've found effective in controlling crypto gambling. It feels like most platforms lack daily limits or deposit controls, making it a bit challenging to stay on track.

Would really appreciate any advice or recommendations from those who've been through something similar.

I have not been in a similar situation like you when it comes to gambling, but I have had other issues in my life that also made it hard for me to control my own actions. I can tell you the most important thing is that you realised you have a problem and that you are trying to find new methods to cope with it. Everybody has issues in their life where it's hard to control emotions and our own actions. Just this weekend Matthew Perry died, he struggled for many years with alcohol addiction and it took him 15 rehab attempts to try and get his life in order. So, even a multimillionaire can't just fix his problems overnight. Realising that should help to make your recovery more bearable and focus on the long term goal to beat the addiction. There can always be setbacks and we shouldn't beat ourselves up too much. The best thing that has helped me to control my finances is to have different wallets or bank accounts, having one wallet only for small purchases online, one wallet for gambling and one wallet for long term holding. It might be a bit more work to control different wallets and save all the seeds in a secure way, but like that I can make sure to not touch my HODL coins for gambling or other purchases. Give yourself small allowances for each wallet so that you can still enjoy your profits from time to time.

I think this Is also a tool really useful ... or at least an advantage that I find in betting with cryptocurrencies is the use of cold wallets or multisignature wallets.
Even if I saw the result worth all the money in the world, I would never take that risk

You can destroy or sell all of your phone, PC or any device that can be used to connect internet, this will make you have no way to access online casino.

If you want to avoid to visit offline casino, you can hire a private driver and force him to not brought you into offline casino despite you keep asking or bribed him.

I believe my suggestion will 100% work.

Find something else to do, a replacement so to speak. Some prevention tools like website blocker or even the self-exclusion route you've done can easily be bypassed if you really want to. By replacing it with something else, you effectively block the gambling addiction part with a replacement addiction instead, one that's fine for you to be in or at least can be controlled a lot easier than gambling. Not really addiction tbf, maybe distraction can be more apt.

I've never really had issues with my gambling since I can control it rather well, not to mention my advice of finding something else to do, in my case which is drawing. Which can, btw be really time consuming.

I've experienced to become out of control in gambling before, and the effective solution to me is to stay away on the things that can tempt me to gamble. I went to a place away from city and gadgets so that there's no way to access an internet. This is an alternative solution if you want to control yourself or completely get rid of your gambling habit.

In the end you're the only one who can help yourself. Because even someone advice you of ways that can help to lessen or stop playing for good, if you have no discipline and you can't control yourself then nothing will happen.

So, here's the deal. I've been into crypto gambling, and I've realized that, despite my best intentions, it's a bit tough to control the urge. I've tried the self-exclusion route in the past, but it seems some crypto casinos still find a way to let me back in.

I know I've got an issue, and I've accepted that. Now, my goal is to manage it better and avoid any unnecessary damage to my finances.

It's tough to control the urge sounds like you are already an addicted gambler, you saying that some crypto casinos still find a way to let you in is just another excuse, I mean how did they let you in? By forcing you? Today its hard to find casino ads online unless you are visiting some websites where casino ads are expected, these things are well hidden from online this days, if you are still finding them it's you looking out for them, the problem isn't the casino it's your addiction controlling your whole body.

I think I don't have much to say to someone who doesn't take their problem as a serious sickness, you want to get healed? It's in your god damn hand, you are making money off your work or job since you talked about finance, how come you get addicted to this stage? Are you using the whole amount to gamble? You need help, find someone in your family that's very friendly and close to you and tell them about your problem with gambling, I am sure they will find a way to help you, this online replied only help some certain people but I feel your case is different.

One minute you will admit you are wrong and the other minute something will draw you back into gambling, you have lost control over yourself, you need to rescue your self through discipline, take your time off for a long time, go on holiday and open up to the person in your family that you think can help battle this addiction, I think this is the best solution.

If you want to control your gambling addiction or completely get rid of it, but you don't want to undergo therapy or have no one to talk to about your problems in gambling, this is the only way. You simply run away from gambling. Simple but effective. Going to a rural place with no gadgets will help to have another hobby completely. Spend your days/months doing another thing, away from the internet and anything that will make you think of gambling.

Yes, he's the only one who can help himself to control his addiction. Even if he gets so much advice, without realizing the negative effect of gambling on himself, nothing will happen.

Don't expect anybody to help you control what you have been the cause and reason for, gambling is what we should do with all caution, but unfortunately some take it to the extreme, some of the ways to deal with this is by getting yourself busy in doing other things that could take your time, avoid having money on your casino wallet, change your environment and lastly, try to moderately gamble.

You are right about all of that, that no one will ever care about what happens to us and other people will never sympathize when we are in a downturn. The one who cares about us is ourselves, not other people, and even the people we love and the people we trust, they can leave when we are in the lowest position. So as much as possible, we ourselves must continue to try to control every activity we do, including gambling. Don't let this gambling, which was originally for personal pleasure and entertainment, but because it is not controlled, it backfires on us and has a negative impact on us personally.

Gambling is too risky to play, so we have to be careful when playing it and never hope that gambling can make us rich, think of it as when we make a deposit it is the same as buying an entertainment ticket to get a sensation and pleasure.

Once you have involved yourself in it becomes almost impossible for you to control your urge, you always want to go for more, more especially if you have not win for a while, the mindset is that, I will win, this I will win syndrome has made so many people lose funds meant for other things.

These tools should be personal, developing these tools needs seriousness and discipline to keep the action going, it has to be clear to us that gambling being an addictive behaviour should be avoided by folks who can't control the hunger when it comes.
This stuff keeps pushing even when you say no to it, I will say that determination is just the way forward and the answer to this situation.

[Darker45]

I haven't been through a severe form of this, but I've certainly been through instances in which I could have gone home with good winnings but ended up with nothing instead. And this is because I wasn't able to control my urge to bet more even if it already seemed my luck has already expired.

But it seems your situation is a bit worse. I think you better stay away from logging on to your gambling accounts altogether. Keep your focus on something else. Try to be busy on other things. If you feel that this doesn't work, I recommend that you visit a professional.

You already mention that it’s already impossible to control urge once you already involved which means developing your own tool will not gonna be helpful too since you knew exactly how this tools work and you can make a loophole so that you can bypass this tool just to meet your gambling urge.

Therapy is best way to deal with gambling addiction and not kind of tool that can be easily avoid the restrictions.

Gambling, especially winning, will be random and continuous and whether you will be as lucky today as someone else you see then it depends on your luck at that time. I understand that every gambler will definitely experience a win or two in a few tries or even dozens of tries, but as you know and you understand that more often than not it will only be a loss with different amounts each session. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get the same amount of money as you, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to get the same amount of money as you, and I'm not going to be able to get the same amount of money as you, but I'm not going to be able to get the same amount of money.

So the final result in gambling really cannot be predicted, whatever method you bring will not be completely successful, and even if it can, the chances will be very small. Therefore, what should be our main focus is to apply good self-control, do not be too excessive in terms of expecting because there is no guarantee of anything. And yes if indeed your situation is getting worse with increasingly dominating defeats then you should really get out of gambling, forget everything, occupy yourself with other things as a form of prevention so that you do not remember gambling, and if you have difficulty then you can seek help from people around you or even from a professional.

Here's my idea to protect your finances, you could consider handing over your money to a trusted individual like your parents, partner or other trustees like your best friend. This strategy could be helpful if you have a gambling addiction and want to prevent yourself from spending money impulsively. By entrusting your finances to someone else, they can hold onto your money and release it to you only when you need it for the right reasons. This way, you can take control of your finances and protect yourself from unnecessary spending.

Exactly, if you made your own rule just to prevent yourself on gambling, you are just clowning yourself then. For sure a lot of people who's addicted on  certain thing already said the same thing by "I will not do it again" and eventually will try something that could prevent them to do their addiction which they fail. For example let's say porn addiction, we know the negatives effect of this addiction as it affects individual mental health as well their physical health, as they try to stop themselves by simply blocking some sites, for sure they would still look up for it as they can't resist the "urge".

The best is to get check up on the professionals such as the therapy since they could help you for a change, if you can't still afford to check up for a therapy, try talking and opening up with your family as they can help you to prevent your addiction such as keeping your funds safe and would give you if you need them. Just choose someone that are trustworthy cause in my case there's still some people even from my family will use it for their own.

[Docnaster]

When we talk about anti gambling tools, I think it should depends on the kind of person it should needs to apply these measures to stop gambling.
That being said, if the person who wants to stop gambling does gamble online, I think the best thing to do is to take away anything that's gonna give him access to online betting like smart gadgets of kinds including phones, laptop, and smart watches.
If the person is always gambling on online casinos, then his movement must be regulated by close friends and family and on no account should he be allowed to visit any online casino center even if he says he's not going there to gamble because even if he didn't go their to gamble, there's every possiblity of getting tempted to gamble immediately he sees others gambling.

[Twentyonepaylots]

You can destroy or sell all of your phone, PC or any device that can be used to connect internet, this will make you have no way to access online casino.

I believe my suggestion will 100% work.

Man how could it not work if you tell the OP to destroy all his gadgets lol

I think the OP is looking for some online tools or any strategy to control his habit which he considered a bad habit. This is definitely an issue of his discipline, he lacks the discipline to manage himself, not only with gambling but with all the activity he is missing instead of sitting and gambling. I'd like to suggest of doing more stuff outside, get the fun to other things such as sports. I myself managed to get out of the mud coz I'm losing than winning. Outdoor activities may help you spend your time not to think of gambling, and after you go home you'll just be thinking to eat and sleep.

[ajiz138]

As others have said, if you can't do it on your own then go to a professional maybe he will help you stay away from gambling.

There is no tool unless you realize yourself and do a stricter discipline again, if you are still unable to try asking those around you who have succeeded from this bad zone how the method is just try asking.
Maybe you are so addicted that you can't control the money that goes into gambling, one more thing you need to convince yourself not to do gambling and do more useful things to get rid of this thought.

Or make activities that you can forget about gambling.

[Hatchy]

Lol, that's a nice advice but I don't think it is going to work for op. I'm not much of a gambler so I don't really know how it is to be addicted to gambling. For me I only play ones or twice a week and sometime not at all. For op, I think only him can dictate for him self how he could possibly stop or reduce his gambling habit. If you find something else to put your time then maybe you can shake it off a bit but not as @Solosanz  has suggested. No matter how you try to stay away from the internet you just won't be able to keep up. The internet comprise of our everyday activities not just something you can choose to stay away from. So I will advice you to find the best way that works for you.

The best tools under your disposal is to change your behavior and approach towards gambling. Every external tools are artificial and bypassable, if the gambler wishes to. So, start changing your mindset and replacing old habits with new ones. Identify what triggers undesirable behaviors regards gambling in yourself and act to avoid such triggers from happening. If you are able to do this, you will get rid of your addiction or impulsive gambling routine within time. But you have to be persistent and not give up on the middle of the way. It might take a long time and progress will appear slowly.
