Does sign campaign payments directly to the casino make you to gamble?

[Richbased]

Literally, making signature campaign payments directly to your casino account can make you gamble more as a gambler because when you open the casino, you might see some events that you will be tempted to bet on even when you didn't have the intentions to stake a bet at that particular time. Though it all depends on how disciplined you are because i know that there are people who don't bet games on casinos platforms even though they earn from advertising them. Am not against casinos making signature campaign payments directly on participants casino accounts, it's also a kind of business strategy since they make money from withdrawal charges but i do frown at casinos who charge extremely high amount on withdrawals, it's not good.

I think it will have significant impact, as a gambler, even those who just play for leisure might have the tendency to gamble their signature payment. It's that psychology in gambler that if we have money then we most of us here would want to play it right away.

When I started here, I joined a campaign that pays me direct into our account. And with that, I just gamble it right away. Maybe I withdraw just a couple of times. But I will say that I did fall for it and gambling like every week until the campaign ends.

To answer my own question in title:

I am receiving current sign payments directly to casino, and I have spent some. Because why not?   

What about you?

Same here. It’s very hard to resist gambling if you have funds on your casino. The struggle intensifies if you have some kind of thinking that you need to make your balance first a round number before you withdraw.

For example if you earn 65$ on campaign. You have an urge to earn at least 5$ to make your money round up to 70$ before you withdraw.

Even a simple target of earning profit to cover transaction fee is sometimes being used as an excuse to gamble.

I’m thinking the same; you don’t need to deposit, and it’s the casino that rewards you and the one you trust. You won't promote a casino that you don’t trust, so I’m okay with it. It's hard to resist the temptation to play.
I used to promote a casino that paid me into my account. I have done it many times, but of course, you have to play with money that you can afford to lose, so if I don’t need to spend on something, I’ll go for it.

Well this is another means by which users can be luered to gamble. Beside that was the initial reason for the campaign payments to be made their, so yiu can make a choice to either gamble or make withdrawal immediately payments are received for the week. We as the user has the power to make our choices. You can decide to either not gamble or gamble.

 Another is that you can decide not to participate in such signature campaign if you are the kind that is easily lured to play a few games, probably because you might get motivated to double the weekly payments.

[libert19]

right.. receiving weekly payment straight to your casino account is essentially turning on your risk appetite.  you know bonus money mechanisms are used by casinos to trick you into spending more time & money however you might not even realise it because it seems like free money.  Risk tolerance rises because the brain interprets it as house money.  Bonus offers distort real costs & can lure you into chasing losses.  so just because it is a surprise deposit does not mean it is safe. recently i've seen some review campaign pay you directly to your casino account and they want you place bet 100% of your funds to withdraw your rewards.. So it's just a trick to keep you gambling.

Yea, not fan of strings attached payouts to casino wallets but otherwise it's fine.

I do have those tendencies, but thankfully I have wisen myself enough to not follow 'em in gambling.

Very wise!  /s

[Dr.Osh]

I will definitely gamble at a casino that pays me, of course this is a form of support, showing that we care about the casino that we carry in our signature, not just lip service, even though I receive it in my wallet I will send some to enjoy gambling games.

Good for you.

I learned the hard way before until I master the self control on not using to gamble my funds that is sent directly to casino.

I’m sure many here is struggling to snap out on this simple gambling dilemma now that casino often sent payment to casino balance to save transaction fees for them and at the same time encourage their participants to try the casino.

[arwin100]

If the campaign lasts for more than a few months, I do try them out to understand how their casino works, and it's one way to start a discussion in their announcement thread.

I don't mind spending a bit of time and coin playing as long as they have lower minimum withdrawals, but if the amount i'm getting from their campaign is just enough for the minimum, then I have to skip and wait it out.

Agree, because you will never know what's happening if you didn't test those games available on their casino and you cannot contribute anything on the discussions happening in their ann thread if that case happened.

Somehow its good to patronize those campaigns paying you since its like saying you are thankful for being added in their campaign. But I'm sure people don't need to get worried if they don't like to play and want to cash out their earnings. Since if the campaigns didn't have a condition like they are required to gamble using minimal amount I guess they are fine if they want to withdraw the amount they earn from their campaign.

[mirakal]

We are not forced to gamble, but I think receiving payment into our casino account says something. Of course, the option remains, but we can't deny the fact that this encourages us to gamble. However, we're old enough not to know what the deal is. We can skip using the casino if we can't find our favorite game. That is easy, isn't it?

Well, it doesn't really matter if we are participating in gambling signature campaigns or not. As gamblers, it is going to happen whenever we want it. But I assume that all who participate in gambling signature campaigns are gamblers.

[Ruttoshi]

Just like in the content of OP, I am a stake participant and I do receive my pay in my stake account but never have i used it to gamble. The thing is, I am more of a sports bettor and I'm comfortable betting in local sportsbook using fiat.

At the same time, gambling with your signature pay might force you to go against your bankroll management. Which is one mistake I wouldn't want to do.

It all depends on the gambler mindset and urge towards gambling. Some gamblers might only want to try a few game because there's funds in their account from signature campaign but will end up gambling almost everything. It all boils down to self control and discipline. I haven't participated in a signature campaign that pays directly to the casino account but I don't see it as an excuse for anyone to gamble when he does not want to.

If you gamble whenever you have money, it means that you will not be able to manage your income because you are putting gambling first in your life instead of your major responsibility. What about gamblers that keeps their weekly gambling budget in the casino account and wouldn't gamble only when they want to. Maybe, any gambler that uses his signature campaign money to gamble because he was paid directly to the casino account does not have any important thing to use the money for.

Motivation behind this thread:

...So i can say that i started gambling right from when i got some signature payment made i to my casino account like stake is paying it participants into their stake account and i started gambling from that place.

To answer my own question in title:

I am receiving current sign payments directly to casino, and I have spent some. Because why not?   

What about you?

Well, it is possible for signature payment to be the reason why one starts gambling, and for those who know what they are doing and understand gambling, it won't be a problem for them because they will only gamble with the money that they can afford to lose.

Receiving payment from a casino shouldn't be the reason why one should gamble responsibly, even if payment from the casino is the reason one is gambling. Normally, as one who is promoting a signature campaign, it is possible to make an attempt to gamble, but the most important thing is to have a better knowledge of gambling so that exposure to the gambling environment shouldn't be the reason for gambling.

[Odohu]

The answer is affirmative, signature campaigns paid to casinos actually make you to gamble.  There are some instances in which the payment for signature campaign is less than the minimum withdrawal, in that case one will be required to bet with it to aim for the minimum withdrawal to be able to make withdrawal.  Apart from this, the temptation to gamble when you have some balance is very high which is why payment of signature campaign into the casino actually make one to gamble more.

There was a case in the forum where the minimum withdrawal was higher than the signature weekly payment, and many people frowned at it. The best option was to wait and receive more than one weekly payment before withdrawal ( if the campaign lasts more than one week).

I remembered that issue and how some of the participants even took the case to the reputation board siting that the withdrawal fee they were supposed to pay together with the payment being lower than the minimum withdrawal was a bit frustrating to them. I don't know how the matter ended though but it generate arguments with some people supporting the casino and some against them.

Back to the topic, it is tempting for gamblers to receive payments in casinos. The temptation is even higher if it is a reputable casino that has many enticing offers. But if the forum is not a source of income, using just signature earnings for gambling is a smart move.

This is another good point you have made. If the earning from signature campaign can be channeled into gambling, and the user have other jobs, it will be great and just one major win will make him recover months of the signature earning. This will really be a huge relief and something I will give a thought. Although what I gamble with some weeks is more than what I earn in signature campaign but not above my budget.

[Obim34]

However, I would budly say that this can never trigger me to gamble above my limit because I have work in such campaign before and withdraw my money without being tempted.

Having my campaign payment paid into gambling account will help me some how regulate how much is available to gamble with. If i receive $65 per week, my bankroll for the week should be the extra $5 on top of $65 while i withdraw $60. Receiving to the casino directly will make you gamble without intention, based on individual discipline the whole situation can be controlled.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Stake pays it's participants directly on their account but I only gamble when I feel like, although I have the desire to wager every week but I don't and that's because I have that discipline to gamble only when I have time to do so and when I am also ready to allocate some money for it, it could be just a week in a month or two weeks but not every week.

[YOSHIE]

What about you?

Does not humans have a variety of mindset in doing something activities including funds that enter the casino account from the campaign, I think everyone has the principle of how they use the budget.

Indeed, campaign funds go to a tempting casino account, what else there are games that we think have a good opportunity, there is no harm in using some cents for betting, I personally of course I will Staying in the casino too, but I see also good opportunities, not rash in using the budget.

[Justbillywitt]

If you are promoting a casino signature campaign and they are paying into your account in their casino, you don't know what they have done for you. You are being saved lots of stress and paying unnecessary charges of adding money into your account to gamble. They want to make things very easy for you, and you shouldn't see it as a strategy from the casino to lure you into gambling. Fine and good you are a gambler and you are going to gamble one way or the other. Why not remove the amount you will gamble with and withdraw the balance. Or would you prefer promoting another casino and gambling elsewhere? I think it's more like practice what you preach.

[Pandu Geddon]

What about you?

I also receive direct signature payments at the casino. The situation may not encourage me to gamble right away, but it makes it easier for me when I do want to gamble and I have a balance in my account ready to be wagered without having to make a deposit.
Sometimes, when I don't want to gamble or the balance in my casino account is still enough to start a betting session, I will withdraw the payment. But more often I spend it on gambling.

[nara1892]

I'm sure all members who participated in the campaign have played with the weekly payouts that were deposited into their casino accounts. I do, too, but not always. Sometimes, when I need money to buy something, I'll withdraw all of it. Sometimes, I'll withdraw some and use the rest to play my favorite games from PGsoft.
But honestly, lately, I've been withdrawing all of my payouts more often due to my increasing needs. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. The point is, members are free to use their payouts to play or withdraw them all.

What about you?

Nope. If I remember correctly, I have about 6,000 dollars on my casino balance and I don’t touch it. I have a separate budget for gambling and I have no problems sticking to it. And I can’t say that I’ve disciplined myself too much or anything like that, it’s just that for me, not spending the money that I have on my balance is not difficult at all. I don't like gambling enough to spend unplanned money on it.

Libert, having your winnings deposited directly into your casino account?  Since it eliminates all of the inherent pain points associated with sending money, that is a powerful incentive to spend.  You are much more likely to spend money & lose more when it is already in your gambling account.  On the other hand, it causes friction & makes you reconsider if you have it in your Bitcoin wallet.

Kudos to KTChampions for maintaining that mental distance between your fun budget & the rest.  I think people who could wait to cash out that  huge amount are less likely to overspend, and that is good self control.  However, most people find it easier to navigate cashless money on a screen.
