Is "Responsible Gambling" just a legal disclaimer, not a real protection?

[blomen]

i don't think casinos prioritize gamblers' financial situation and health when posting these warnings on their websites, but i still believe it's better for them if their customers deposit a certain amount of money regularly.

if a consumer becomes too addicted to gambling, they will hand over all the money they have won to the casino for a period of time, but this cannot last a lifetime. at some point, when they run out of money or encounter other problems, they will have to stop. this is like a short-term, instant profit for casinos.

however, if a consumer makes regular investments in a healthy manner every week, every month, or at specific intervals, they provide the casino with predictable and consistent amounts of money. i believe this is more logical from the casinos' perspective.

Casinos are obligated to provide certain warnings, risk and everything will be mentioned in their terms and condition itself and yeah it is probably just for the sake of law cause they want to make profit not to keep anyone safe from anything. And even if a casino wants to promote responsible gambling then what can they do to stop one from addiction, limit players from betting too much like implementing time and wagering limit for a day?

Is it really true that when casinos claim to protect players based on the idea of "responsible gambling", but in reality they are using this tool to shield themselves from gamblers legally? They claim that they have given the gamblers a chance not to become addict or lose money on their platform.

So now responsibility is shifted away from the platform and onto the individual. And in a hindsight, "Play responsibly" is somewhat design to be opposite, as it could encourage us to play more?

Casino platforms can come up with any design to attract customers, in this case the casino platform cannot be blamed because they may have different designs and different updates in their business policies, but of course gamblers have to be responsible, if gamblers can be responsible and play responsibly, then the casino platform will never force gamblers to play. Now if I gamble responsibly, will the casino platform force me? They will never force me, but they will want to attract with different attractive designs, but in this case the casino platform cannot be blamed, we have to keep ourselves responsible.

These are reminders, so the casino is reminding people not to get addicted, and it is up to the player whether they will heed the advice or not.  This can be considered as a shield of the casino if the player turns against them and file a case against them.

So now responsibility is shifted away from the platform and onto the individual. And in a hindsight,

Well, the casino has no control over its players' actions, so all they can do is to remind them to gamble responsibly.

"Play responsibly" is somewhat design to be opposite, as it could encourage us to play more?

I think otherwise, it is design to remind players to control their gambling activities, but people loves to not heed advises and do the opposite instead.

I don't think that they're shielding themselves from the gamblers legally. Because responsible gambling should also be remembered by us, the gamblers ourselves.

The responsibility is on us as we gamble because these casinos didn't forced us to gamble on them.

And so them as a business entity, they have to remind us that we should only gamble responsibly and moderately.

[lombok]

It isn't just a legal disclaimer, they never fail us in reminding ways to gamble responsibly, but no matter how much they'll do, if the gambler itself refuse to get aligned, then they can't do nothing but to watch the gambler consistently losing from his bets.

In addition, legal casinos have certain rules to follow, and ensuring that players will gamble responsibly should be given high emphasis. If they fail to do it, once reported, they will lose the operation, the reason why casinos are making sure that all gamblers should be aware on how to gamble responsibly, that's up to the players if they will adhere to that or may chose to have their own rules when gambling.

The casino management rules are considered as the final barricade to the integrity of their genuine and credible business operations. Personally, I concur that the only way of not getting into the cynical circle of losing is being honest on what we have to spend and what we really can spend. Consciousness will help us to overcome the temptation of the courts of law, which are making sweeter promises in the face of the actual dangers. You are aware that, it is only rational decisions we make in every single moment, which will be able to secure our financial stability.

No casino is going to promote responsible gambling if they do then that's part of their marketing and nothing else. Limiting players is not going to stop such players from gambling because they'll join another casinos where they find no such limits, it's one's personal understanding to learn and apply gambling responsibility.

This is a disclaimer warning to show that casino users should gamble only what they can afford to lose. It may sound as a warning to casino users but in reality, it’s a way to actually shield themselves and also send a warning to casino users. I don’t see anything wrong in this approach. Even alcohol companies always say they should drink responsibly while they keep producing alcohol for sale.

So now responsibility is shifted away from the platform and onto the individual. And in a hindsight, "Play responsibly" is somewhat design to be opposite, as it could encourage us to play more?

Play responsibly is a warning that you should adhere to as a gambler, you should not overlook the strong message that’s entailed in it. By the casino saying play responsibly can’t encourage you to play more unless you’re already an addict and can’t control your addiction.

[Hazink]

The system is not only designed to entertain us, it's also designed to keep us engaged and a desire for more. Responsible gambling is not just a claim, it's something that's used to remind the gambler that they should know their limits. The casinos also provide some kinds of options and tools which can help us remain responsible it's left for the gambler to take it serious or allow their self to get addicted.

[Hypnosis00]

To become a responsible gambler is a personal choice. Casinos have nothing to do with a gambler acting in a contrary manner. They give warnings and promote responsible gambling, but they can't influence the gambler from being irresponsible.

We know they are looking for more profit/income, but I believe they don't want a gambler to suffer big losses because of their wrong gambling approach. We can't say they don't care about gamblers. It happens that casinos can't control them. We can't blame the casino for our addiction because we have the option, yet we choose to live with the wrong approaches.

Casino is a business and the intention and goal of every business is to make profit and not to make loss even though we can not eliminate loss totally but we can reduce them. And if you ask me I would say that the casino is not responsible for anyone's action or habit towards gambling, gambling is made for anyone who is interested to... And then it is writen on some Casino to bet or gamble responsibly as a warning and a reminder so anyone who's gambling should take note because your misfortune is not from the casino but rather it is from the person that chose to be reckless and careless.

It is a fundamental right that cannot be violated and it makes us bold enough to face the results of any action we perform in life since it is a right of choice. I understand that until we manage to rectify our understanding of pleasure, we will not be able to resolve the issue of cornering service providers. You show how individual responsibility is the major aspect of ensuring we do not dig the trap of self-misery. We should realise that we are left with all the major decisions and it is not the environment giving us the means to do it.

[Finestream]

Its not only the players who should prioritize responsible gambling, but even the casino itself should also serve as an instrument to remind their players that gambling responsibly should be a must, and therefore no gambler should gamble recklessly as it could lead to instant failure and bigger losses in the long run.

Now, its up to the gamblers how they will interpret and give value to that casino's constant reminder, but its proven that casinos do not lack in giving warning especially these newbies in gambling.

[Joy_learns_crypto]

The responsibility isn’t shifted away from the casino to the individual because the individual is responsible to gamble with discipline.
Responsible gambling is good and if the casino are raising awareness about it then it’s not a legal disclaimer for obvious reasons it is a though call because they need more irresponsible gamblers.

Casinos are obligated to provide certain warnings, risk and everything will be mentioned in their terms and condition itself and yeah it is probably just for the sake of law cause they want to make profit not to keep anyone safe from anything. And even if a casino wants to promote responsible gambling then what can they do to stop one from addiction, limit players from betting too much like implementing time and wagering limit for a day?

Adhering to gambling rules and regulation will make gamblers lives to be an easy one, which they won't be stressing themselves over something they are not sure about.
Especially the aspect of accepting gambling to a game of where one can while away their time, that is a place where one can have fun and not a place to make money from.
Also, being a part of those that gamble, its important to gamble with the amount one can afford to lose without feeling bad about it, and not the that one can invest into and wants to have their cake back in hundreds folds, because that will lead them into becoming an irresponsible gambler, which is not what some are praying to be.

It’s like an advertisement of supplements that there’s a disclaimer “no approved therapeutic claim” while they are claiming that supplements can promote health boost.

Disclaimer is always required on services that promise something like on this case wealth and entertainment.

I doubt many gamblers reads the full responsible gambling terms in reality.

When we are ready to admit that these activities are just entertainment, we will save our inner peace and will not experience stressful spending much money. I can understand that by changing our demands which are based on the pursuit of profit towards filling our leisure time, our future will be protected. It is true that budgeting money as we can afford is one sure way of escaping great regrets. Being able to live peacefully, the best of self respect is the realisation that we should not keep the impossible wins and just need not chase them.

You should be responsible for all your actions. You are on a gambling platform, and you are using your money to win and be entertained. Whatever action you take, or the results it yields, you have to take it; you don't blame a platform for your actions.

So now responsibility is shifted away from the platform and onto the individual. And in a hindsight, "Play responsibly" is somewhat design to be opposite, as it could encourage us to play more?

Whatever encouragement they offer, even if it's deceptive, you always have the option not to proceed; again, you have to be responsible for your actions.

Gamble responsibly simply means “Hey bud ! You might want to take caution with how you gamble because we’re not responsible for any loss after”.. it’s a simple warning. They are not claiming to protect players, but rather trying to remind them to gamble responsibl…

Again, there is no way a casino can possibly know if you are truly addicted. At most, they can look at things like the amount of time you spend on the casino or how frequently you place bets. Even then, that does not necessarily mean someone is negatively addicted.. Apart from this, casinos have limited information about users, and that information is not enough to accurately determine addiction.

[Mindyspace]

True, sometimes responsible gaming seems more like a way for casinos to legally protect themselves than actually helping the player, doesn't it? At the same time, it can serve as a warning, but it's easy to misinterpret and end up gambling more, thinking you're in control. But in the end, the important thing is for everyone to know their own limits and not just rely on what the platform says.

A piece of advice.
