Evaluation and certification before you gamble is it possible in the future?

[aioc]

Will we have a scenario where you need to undergo an evaluation to check if you are fit to gamble? Because of the widespread gambling addiction, it has become mandatory for casinos to ask their players to first undergo an evaluation from a center set up by the government for those who want to play in casinos, online or offline.

This idea may be absurd, but we never know what the future brings. Gambling is addictive, and yet the government still wants the contribution of the gambling industry.

Let's have a good discussion on this.

[Oshosondy]

Many people will not go to any government center because they will prefer to just make use of gambling sites that are not in their country. Just know that not all countries will have something like this while many affected gamblers will use offshore gambling sites instead.

I do not think the government will like to make their citizens not to have privacy at all but be taking them to be kids. There is a reason under 18 are not allowed to gamble.

Let's have a good discussion on this.

Most casino may not buy this idea because it could possibly slow down their business if when a gambler is being evaluated and they noticed such persons is not either physically and mentally fits or suits to gamble they could restrict such persons to gambling while in other way round becoming a hinderance to the gambling site. Although we know that everyone is liable for their gambling and should be able to bear risk that may associated to their gambling period while betting or gambling. If that is also implemented it would also helps to eradicate the rate at which people gets addicted to gambling and there would be less crime and addiction.

It is possible but is there really any government that will implement such a detailed evaluation? The best they can do is ask for age and proof of that but aside from that, there is no thorough research. Some people may find it too privacy probing if they have to undergo evaluation just to gamble.

[robelneo]

Not really a remote possibility, but this is something that the gambling community does not want and never wants to happen because it will just prove that gambling is so risky that it’s unhealthy to gamble.

This is bad for business, so the gambling industry should keep reminding and educating its community to only play responsibly and with money that they can afford to lose. They must demonstrate that they are foremost an entertainment portal and never a place to make a living.

Yeah, this should be done by the government and I think that they should create an assessment office on the physical casinos to do this kind of checks.

If the addiction has become rampant on their areas, it's best to do something like this for them to contain the widespread addiction.

But for online casinos, I don't think that they're going to obliged this because it's in their favor. Not unless the registered casino locally has to comply to this kind of rule.

[maydna]

Yes, we may have a scenario like that especially if many people become addicted to gambling. But that will also depend on how the government reacts to the current situation. If they care for their people, they will not delay it too long and will directly ask their people to do an evaluation to check if they are still fit to gamble.

Perhaps it is difficult but that must be done by the government if they don't want to see the addicted people to gambling increase. Yes, gambling is addictive and no one will know when they become addicted to gambling or can still gamble without a problem.

But I am not sure that can work for those who playing gambling in online casinos. Those people can hide their gambling activity from other people. It needs awareness from them to do the evaluation and checking for themselves.

most likely gamblers are just going to choose casinos that are unregulated so they don’t have to worry about this evaluation and casinos might lose profit from this so it’s possible that upcoming casinos won’t want to register and comply

both players and casinos aren’t interested in this

[Mr. Magkaisa]

If this is an offline land casino, it is possible and i will not go for that.
But if this is for an online casino, this is impossible. specially in crypto casino which anonymous is very important with every crypto holders.
There are many casino out there that can offer no KYC.

[stadus]

That’s not gonna happen, who are they anyway, doctors or psychologists? and even if they were, they still wouldn’t know if a gambler is addicted or not. most gamblers who are already addicted don’t even realize it themselves - they’re in denial, thinking everything’s normal.

It’s also a hassle for the casino. instead of focusing on growing their business, they’d end up babysitting irresponsible gamblers. that’s unfair to them.

I also haven’t read or heard of any government rule like that, so yeah, it’s not gonna happen.

The truth is we don't know what the future hold for us so anything can happen in the future, although evaluation and certification before someone can gamble may likely be possible in the future. And when you judge from the positive impacts and the negative impact of this evaluation and certification before gambling you will notice that the positive impacts of evaluation and certification before someone can gamble may help in some certain ways. prevention of problem gambling, and protection of vulnerable individuals. But the negative impacts is no no because it will cause a lot of damages to the industry, and sincerely speaking I don't see any casino or gambling platform buying the idea of evaluating their customers before they can be able to gamble, because restricting gamblers who they think are not qualify to gamble will definitely slow down their businesses, which may not make sense to them. And even customers too won't buy that idea of allowing casino or gambling platform to evaluate them before they can be able to gamble, rather they will look for other alternatives to gamble.

What I know is that the government are most concerned about collecting taxes, also from gambling platforms and from gamblers that are winning more than they have lost before. It will not be surprising if there are some countries that the government will not look for losses but just winning and tax it but I have not seen such countries before. The government can not spend money on evaluating their citizens before they will start gambling. Most gamblers in such a country will not go for any evaluation but still find other means to gamble.

[joeperry]

That's actually good to have but I'm pretty sure a lot of people will be filtered out and I don't think big gambling companies and the government wouldn't love it since gambling generate a high income and by cutting off players it might affect the revenue of both company and the government, it may also slows down tourism and online gambling onboarding if this strictness will be implied in the country. Like alcohol and cigarettes, playing gambling is a personal choice and as long as people informed about the risk, they will continue promoting it. So to make it short, implementing it would to a great impact to government and into people, both positive and negative but honestly, I don't see it coming in the near future.

Though it would be really nice if it will be implemented.

Maybe they'll issue a certificate for both online and physical gamblers and it would be in form on an ID for online gamblers to submit the ID as a proves that you've passed the government evaluation for gambling, this is just my opinion and I think it would make sense to reduce the rate of gambling addiction globally, they'll make it in a way that addicted gamblers can't bycot the test and use offshore gambling sites, I think it would be a welcome development to reduce the rate of gambling addiction, I understand that many gamblers want privacy but the rate of addiction is becoming something else lately and there needs to be solutions for it other than creating awareness to for people to gamble responsibly

This can be possible in your country for government to evaluate whoever wants to gamble but not in my country because my government does not have the time for all that. Majority of then also gambles. However, gambling is not a job or a contract that will become a most for people to gamble.

If such happens in my country which I know that it's not possible, they wouldn't be able to stop those that are gambling in a global casinos and before you know it, most gamblers will start gambling in casinos that are not in their country just to avoid this evaluation of a thing. Before you know it, the local casinos will start losing their customers which will become affect the casinos income and what they remit to the government.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Well, no body can know the future so much to predict what will happen but this can only be possible if the gambling addiction becomes so bad in a country that the only solution is by development of evaluation and certification methods, if that be the case, the government will not refuse to employ the method in other to help their society. Before that can take place, other preventive methods like the self exclusion service must have been made mandatory for every one.

That certainly is not a bad thing and for most casino, while you are registering, there are questions you answer that seems like they are trying to confirm how easy you can get addicted. evaluation before one is allowed to gamble is a good initiative but the ones that surely has an high tendency of becoming addicted are the ones that will lie and give false information just so they can still gamble. if there is a system that is capable of doing the check such that you know who is lieing about his gambling vulnerability, then it becomes easy to different vulnerable gamblers from those that have the ability to gamble in a responsible manner.

[joniboini]

Feels like it's too much effort for something that will probably become ineffective as long as someone uses a VPN or gambles in other countries. I think it's better to spend that time and money to improve education so people will have better means of income and protect themselves. At the end of the day, the risk of addiction will decrease if someone has better control over their behaviour, which means better economic stability, a fulfilling life, etc. A casino asking for too many details isn't attractive to most people either.

[lovesmayfamilis]

No, and again no, and yes, because the idea is completely absurd. If one day someone very active decides to implement this idea, I will simply not gamble on principle, as I am not satisfied with rules that seem to curtail my freedom. I've written many times that the legal gambling age presupposes an adult who understands their full responsibility. People must be allowed to manage their addictions independently and have the freedom to gamble or not. As long as there are "nannies" like these who monitor a person's every move, afraid they'll make a mistake, many people will remain dependent children into old age. Therefore, people must be allowed to make mistakes, gain experience, and learn from them, as other examples prove to be of little value.

So far, none of the countries has implemented something like this or even close to this idea, even in a country where addiction is so rampant they have not implemented or even entertained this idea.

This is interfering with someone's preferences regarding their interests; this is unacceptable in democratic countries, and it is not beneficial for the gambling industry, as gamblers will likely move to play on unlicensed casinos that do not compromise their privacy.

Addiction to gambling may be prevalent, but the government and the gambling industry are doing their share to curb it, without harming the industry.
