How long would you self-exclude after a bad loss?

[batang_bitcoin]

After a bad loss, does self-exclusion ever come into your mind?

Never but about quitting it does.

This happened to me last night. I had a very bad run, like literally my whole bankroll was gone so I decided to self-exclude so I will never touch that casino again. It is just one casino only and I chose to self-exclude for one year. How about the gamblers here, if you decide to self-exclude how long do you usually apply it for? 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, or lifetime?

By the way, even though I self-excluded from this one casino, I can still access other crypto casinos, so it does not really feel like a full self-exclusion. 

If that's me, I can't tell exactly on how long I am going to self exclude. Maybe I won't be using that feature and it's about on my mind control for how long I'll be able to hold it without gambling. It could be a month or two but I don't know because there can be a lot of things that can happen quickly in those span.

There is no bad loss that will make me to self exclude from gambling in the first place, why expose yourself to something that can be prevented?

I don't have to risk alot of money when I know very well that gambling as no stop loss like trading, if the bet goes againste that's all my money going out the window, why should I be exposed to such big risks?

Asking those who have lost big before, was self exclusion able to bring back what you've lost?
Or the self exclusion made you realize that taking high risks isn't worth it with gambling? Which one exactly?

I never trusted the self exclusion will work when it comes to stopping making bad decisions, all I see is it makes the problem worse. Imagine I self excluded myself after a bad night then waited a month to relogin or register new on the same while self excluded for 6 months, means I am now violating the self-exclusion that will end up causing me more trouble.

One who feels that they are getting addicted might try that, but it is not useful when we lose control.

After gambling big losses, I decided to self-exclude several times in the last a few years in my gambling, but that was just for a few days, for 1-2 months, I couldn't take a break from gambling for a long time like you, I used to start gambling again in a short time, since I started very responsible gambling, I spend small amount, I don't remember the last time I bet big stake. Since now there is no possibility of my big loss, there is no possibility of my being self-excluded in the future. But I think everyone should take a break for at least a few days after a big loss.

[coin-investor]

I usually take a vacation, and in my own definition, which is not going to any gambling platform for a specific length of time, depending on my assessment, I never use the casino's self-exclusion because the community has proven that it will not work
because we have hundreds of gambling platforms to play on.
 The self-exclusion is there as a compliance with authorities, but many gamblers deemed it as a useless feature.

By the way, even though I self-excluded from this one casino, I can still access other crypto casinos, so it does not really feel like a full self-exclusion. 

That's the point and that's why I don't even bother of doing it to myself. Because when I get that itch of wanting to gamble, I can just go somewhere else.

Even if I'd say to myself that I only want to pay a visit, it won't just be visit but with the urge that I'll feel by that time. It's no doubt that I'll be able to deposit and gamble.

So, we know ourselves well and we're the ones who are also breaking the rules that we set.

It feels like you're fooling yourself and I'm sorry I have to be this blunt on you but that's just how you make everything seem so because from what you have written, you are not even ready to have a redress and recheck to know what's really wrong and how best to tackle the issue but you are just seeing way to run away from the pains of the loss and then just resume when you think the pains  is over but hey man, you have to really check yourself because you get addicted even without you knowing.

Your story seems you don't gamble with what you could afford to lose and it's time to also consider that as well because if you did, then you wouldn't be seeking ways to take a break 😩

[nimogsm]

I haven't thought about it yet. It's a good question. I wouldn't say gambling has a huge impact on my life it's more like it's there to some extent. But there are months when I don't play or place bets because I simply don't have the time or desire. I can give it up, and I probably won't even notice it happened. I'll continue watching matches and playing cards with friends, but without betting, just like before.

[Hardyrobust]

 This is really funny OP, because I don't understand what you mean by self excluding yourself from a particular casino . It appears you are trying to blame the casino for your loss. This mindset is very wrong, excluding yourself from a particular casino won't prevent you from losing money. The fact you lost has nothing to do with a particular casino. There is nothing wrong if you decide to take a break from gambling for a while but pinning your loss on a particular casino is definitely wrong.
For me I always do take  a break for like 1 or 2 weeks depending on the magnitude of the loss.

There's always this self exclusion mentality that every gambler usually has once they are been hit by several looses and yet due to gree they won't stop gambling. I have experience several looses and intend to stop gambling but at some point I couldn't because I just wanted to chase my looses in other to recoup some money from my looses and I discovered that I was just opening myself to more looses so I had to quit for sometimes and stay off anything that relates to gambling for my sanity and mental health, self exclusion has to be a decision to be taken by those that have been hurt enough from their looses.

Apart from casinos every other sports betting platform is also included in self exclusion if truly the individual wants to take a break from it due to looses, one mistake I promise myself not to make anymore is gambling beyond my bankroll no matter how desperate I become to win, so we should always control our selves and stick to budget.

Frankly speaking i have not lost to gambling to extent where i have to think of self-excluding myself from a particular casino. However, if you self-exclude yourself from a particular casino, you can still gamble on another casino but know this, some gambling companies operate under the same group.

Therefore, when you self-exclude yourself from one of their brands, they will automatically exclude you from others that are operating under the same group with one you self-excluded yourself. Also, in some countries there is what we call national self-exclusion schemes that block access to many licensed gambling platforms at once.

It’s not really self-exclusion, it feels more like you were frustrated with the loss and started thinking the casino itself was the reason you lost. So it doesn’t seem like a genuine case of self-exclusion.

I’m saying this because I’ve been through something similar myself. After a losing streak where I lost my entire balance, I actually requested self-exclusion for more than a year from one of the popular casinos here. But the truth is, a gambler’s instinct is always there curiosity eventually kicks in, and you end up gambling again, just on different platforms.

[Royal Cap]

Well that deciding to self exclude after a big loss is a lot like making a life changing decision before going to bed at night. Because most decisions are made emotionally. When you wake up the next day and your mind is calmer, many people change their previous decision or think that maybe they can recover if they try again. So in my opinion self exclusion only really works when it is done with a calm mind and thought. Not just as a reaction to a bad session.

By the way, even though I self-excluded from this one casino, I can still access other crypto casinos, so it does not really feel like a full self-exclusion. 

And what happened in your case is a lot like throwing a bottle of wine out of your house and going to the next store to sit. Even if you distance yourself from one casino and immediately start playing at another casino, the real problem remains.

Hahahaha so what is the point buddy? You are probably thinking the particular casino caused you the loss and you decided to pack it up for a year to face another casino  

Anyway, if I have to self exclude, it won't get to a year and it has to be total. That is no gambling for that period maybe a week or two. But to self exclude for just a casino and playing with others, you just don't want to continue with the casino for that period. If I self exclude for a year, it is total not partially.

[Pandorak]

First of all, i understand that feeling, a loss you never imagined, especially one that costs a large sum or drains almost all your savings in just one gambling session. I’ve been there myself.

By the way, even though I self-excluded from this one casino, I can still access other crypto casinos, so it does not really feel like a full self-exclusion. 

I can tell you that self-exclusion isn’t the right choice, You're just frustrated with that casino and blaming it for your losses. Even if you do it, as you said, you could still access other casinos to gamble again, so wouldn’t that be pointless.

You just need to stop gambling for a while, recover mentally and financially and learn to control yourself, even though it’s difficult, you have to try.

After all, self-exclusion is just a political correctness feature offered by casinos which have no real impact over problem gamblers' routines. Since you can still access any other casino besides this one, what is the point, then? You still have to be disciplined enough to not gamble in another platforms, without any features to protect you, unless you wish to ban yourself from every other casinos you have access to.

Therefore, it's always up to you to decide what to do: to continue gambling or to quit for good. Self-exclusion is just a formality and a symbol of your decision.

[JunaidAzizi]

You just change the seat, not the place. Losing money in gambling is confirmed, it will happen one day. So, actually, in that condition, self exclusion is very necessary to get some fresh air and give rest to the mind. But in my view, in physical casinos, self exclusion is easy, you can just stop walking that way, and then it will never attract you. However, in online casinos, the whole scenario has changed. You have thousands of casinos at your fingertips. So, in that case, my suggestion is to delete the app permanently. If you are using websites, then remove the whole browser, add a new one, and use it, or you can block all the sites on your phone so that when you reach for it, you will not see anything on the screen.

So, generally speaking, what's the point of self-exclusion?

Check one old thread: Self-exclusion: Protection or a Pointless Feature? - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5569405.msg66211618#msg66211618

It's a pointless feature, and it creates a lot of confusion... If you really wish to stop playing in a casino, you will log out, and you will never come back again. If you wish to stop gambling, you need to want that and simply close all gambling apps... there's no magic "feature" that will help you, everything is on you.

[salad daging]

Never self-exclude myself from a casino, if I've been on a losing streak that has depleted my entire bankroll then I simply stop and don't access the casino again, although we know some casinos have this feature but I've never used it.

Self-exclusion, if you use one crypto casino site then it will be useful, but if you use many sites for me it is useless, unless you do self-exclusion in all the casinos you have played maybe it will be effective for you.

If you have lost like this and may feel regret, it is better to take a break and not return to gambling for a few months, it is better to recover mentally.

Self excluding oneself for over a certain period of time is never the perfect solution to this. Because in gambling, loses are meant to occur, and it is our ability to manage the loses effectively that matters most, than excluding oneself for either a year or two from gambling. Because of what benefits will the self exclusion do if after gambling, you walks into the casino and start gambling irresponsibly again. Because at this point, self control and the ability take full responsibility of your actions is what matters most here, far better than the self exclusion you may want to give yourself. Because a gambler who gambles responsibly with an amount he or she can always afford to lose, have no reason to be scared about self exclusion.
