How they work "Temporary account suspension" for responsible gambling?

[|MINER|]

We are all probably familiar with the terms "Temporary account suspension", "Cooling-off periods", "Self-exclusion" by now because almost every casino now implements such features to support responsible gambling.

But my question is how does the casino know how much money I have the ability to lose, and if they don't know this, how do they enable Temporary account suspension or the Cooling-off periods on my account?

I have never used such features. Is there anyone here who has used such features or benefited from them?

They don't, but what I think they do is kind of monitor your behavior in the casino if they see a repeated pattern, like how frequently you lose a lot of money in a short time, how frequently deposit large amounts of money, your posts on live chats, etc....

I haven't used it since I never thought I needed it.

Gambling sites does not care about the amount of money that you are spending on gambling. There are gambling sites that will ask you the questions before you will begin to gamble on their sites. But if you have deposited up to the limited amount, you can edit it in another 24 hours to increase the limit so that you will be able to deposit more. These are on casinos in Europe that are really following regulations.

[Agbamoni]

Casino don't know how much money you have or how much are your limit to gamble. Reason is they don't have access to your bank balance, even after submitting your KYC they don't know your credit score but they can make a rough estimate by going through your gambling history to determine a mean bankroll amount to determine your limit. Of course the result may not be accurate unless you're in a regulated environment where income verification is required (rare and usually for high-stakes players).

That is one of my main purpose behind of creating this thread, I have already said they didn't then for example not everyone affordability on gambling amount is same. Like for some peoples it can be thousands of dollars  and some of gambler afford only few hundreds dollars.

Now if this kinds of peoples make gambling for thousands dollar that would be irresponsible gambling from them then how can it be work the features are being provided by the casinos?  Are they just for show off?

Self exclusion is an effective way to cool off from gambling and pressure that comes with it, and for such regulatory framework are aimed at giving gamblers the right to take exit from active gambling when they feel the need to take time off from gambling., most of them have a one way exit such a way that once a gambler make use of the self exclusion features, they can't return back to the casino again even no matter how long cool off period they may have hard.

Let's be honest, to start with if you actually are a responsible gambler who properly gambles the way he ought to, there would never be a time you would actually need to explore those features. Besides that, an addict is an addict and almost nothing would stop them if they wanted to still gamble. Basically they could apply for the suspension and in the create a new account on another casino and kick off where they stopped previously.
So in the end it really doesn't make much difference it's just a measure of your level of maturity and responsibility.

I would not put "temporary account suspension" into the same bucket as self exclusion. Self exclusion is something that the player initiates and would have no confusion about why the message appears, maybe they limit the amount that they spend in a certain time period or decide to ban themselves from the site for a longer period of time like 6 months. Temporary account suspension feels like a more serious message which may involve other terms of service being broken or something like a KYC check being required on your account. A casino does not know a persons finances in most situations, the only red flag they would have is if someone goes from betting $10 a day for a while, then suddenly starts dropping $1k, it should alert them to step in and see if the customer is ok - if they want to be truly responsible.

They make money from your losses so your addiction doesn't really concern them. Account suspension is always there and It's initiated only by the user. If you decide to suspend your account the casino wouldn't try to talk you out of it or refuse, then only thing they would ask you is your reasons for freezing your account and whatever your reasons might be they have no choice but to grant your request

[Stalker22]

Casinos dont actually know what folks can reasonably lose.  They dont have access at our bank accounts or nuthin like that.  So when they give options to take a break or chill out for a bit, its more about giving people tools to control their own gambling habits.  

The way I see it, those options are there if you wanna use them yourself.  If you feel like you need to stop for a bit, or set a limit on what youll spend you can turn those things on and  the casino makes those tools available, but its up to you whether to use them and for how long.

They just provide the tools.  You decide if and when to use them.

The casino don't have the ability to know how much you have. The casino can't suspend your account for no reason, so only you can suspend your account temporary. Casino knows how frequently you deposit and how much you keep on losing and winning.
There's a casino account which I self-excluded for 8 months so now it's up to a year (if am right) and am trying to login but am told to contact the customer support which I have not.

I think they don't care how much money you can afford to lose, what they look at the behavioral pattern you have in their casino and decide whether it is becoming problematic or not. just to be clear, this is just an assumption from me and I could be totally wrong.

edit: I think I kind of misunderstood your original post, I was thinking you were talking about casinos forcing "cool-off time" on gamblers.

[$crypto$]

I've never used this feature, but do casinos have this feature? Because I have never seen this feature myself.

Usually casinos don't care about spending any amount of money because it's something they can't control, but what's simpler is --- when you're no longer depositing into the casino then you're probably in a quiet period.

I am sure since there are so many casinos and most people have accounts at multiple casinos will they all enable this feature?
It's back to ourselves to control it.

Casinos wont be the one will be giving out that kind of signal or they will be taking out such step for them to restrict a particular gambler not unless if that gambler do made out such request on having that exclusion. Come to think that these businesses does really like for their gamblers to become furious and addicted because they do know that this could bring out that revenue into them specially if they do become that impulsive and with that then it would be resulting into that blowing up their entire gambling bankroll and thats a sure revenue for them. Therefore, these kind of features are just that something that showing off that gambling houses or companies do care with those gamblers but actually they do really that wanted for it to happen in the first place.

But my question is how does the casino know how much money I have the ability to lose,

They don’t. Unless they required a KYC verification which involves your financial statements. Which I am pretty sure a lot of casinos don’t. It’s not really about how much money you can lose but how much money you may lose. Besides, the casino doesn’t need to know to implement these features because it’s self imposed. You know yourself what’s your financial situation and you can decide if you need intervention already.

and if they don't know this, how do they enable Temporary account suspension or the Cooling-off periods on my account?

Like I said, it’s voluntary. But they do check behavior. If you’ve lost huge amounts of money over a short period of time and keeps depositing. Those might seem worrisome.

[Z-tight]

You activate gambling cool-off periods yourself, players with gambling addiction and players who lack self control should use this feature more often, during the cool-off period your account would be restricted and you would not be able to do any gambling on that casino. What is funny is that some people implement cool-off time in casino A, and after a few days of battling with the urge of gambling, they move to casino B to gamble, in other words they have done nothing.

I think I used this feature once on stake.com, but after activating it I immediately removed it and never used it again because it ruined my momentum while playing.

As far as I know, you’re the one who sets the limits on your account. Once you reach that limit, the system automatically prevents you from playing for a certain period. It’s not that the casino knows how much money you can afford to lose it just enforces whatever limit you’ve set for yourself. So, it’s more about self-control with the help of built in tools.

There must be gamblers who have used these features on casinos and funny enough, you may be surprised to note that these features have actually helped some take a break from gambling or stop gambling.
Gamblers who have been able to use those features successfully have shown a high level of discipline and loyalty to the casino by not trying to gamble elsewhere.

Those who create an account for gambling and deposit money there and continue gambling, they do not consider those accounts as temporary accounts suspension, but those who create an account for referrals and do not deposit any money and do not follow any rules within 24 hours, maybe the casino company declares their account as temporary account or someone who has created a gambling platform and gambled there for a day or two and later did not participate in gambling, all those accounts opened by the casino company are declared as temporary accounts suspension. However, I have never had such experience because I have been gambling regularly where I have created an account for gambling, although I am gambling for entertainment.

The casinos do not know your exact "pain limit" of losing any amount of your income, but rather they are acting based on algorithms and patterns. They really are neat tools, but optional. For the times when you lose control of yourself and do not even notice that you are losing control. Frequent deposits, chasing losses, asking support to have them give your money back probably are all red flags. I am sure they have programs that monitor you and ring an alarm bell if your actions become similar to psychological danger-profiles or something. There's gotta be some kind of regulation enforced on them to check for the right warning signs, right?
