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

[famososMuertos]

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

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. 

I'm not sure if you're taking this seriously, since you added an emoji at the end, but it's serious. Self-excluding yourself from a casino doesn't solve the problem. If we were to assign a scale of 1 to 100 to self-exclusion, what you mentioned would only be number 1.

On the other hand, I hope your tilt problem gets resolved. If you learn to improve this concept—if you don't know what it means—it's the first step toward reaching at least point 25 on the scale I mentioned. That means you still have 75% to work on.

I always bet with small amounts so that I can maintain self-control after losing so that gambling does not become a big threat to my life. However, some gamblers do not follow the right rules and gamble aggressively just in the hope of winning more money. As a result, they face big financial losses which become very difficult for them to accept. For some time, they voluntarily stop gambling because gambling has destroyed all their necessary money, but over time, they forget everything and start gambling again.

I will only stop gambling indefinitely when I lose on any site but never do self-exclusion because sometimes the decision after losing in gambling will appear due to the emotions that we have so I will never do anything when losing and will only leave for some time until my head is completely cold and not thinking about the defeat that has occurred.

Even if we do self-exclusion on one site but not with other sites everything will look useless because we are like excluding one fish in fishing but still able to fish other fish
 
So I will only stop temporarily without the need to use self-exclusion to cool down the atmosphere but after it looks okay then I will keep gambling again as long as the balance/money I budgeted for gambling is still left.

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

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.

I don't think it's a pointless feature because it can help remind gamblers to stop gambling, and if you have a large bankroll, it can also protect your account from hackers who try to gamble your bankroll without your knowledge.

There are still gamblers who are glad to have this feature; at least some gamblers use it for their self-interest, protecting themselves. Not magic, but this feature can filter out some gamblers that want to exclude themselves from gambling.

This is why the concept of self-exclusion on casinos makes little or no sense to me because it is more like abandoning a casino instead of quitting gambling totally. It is a better practice to be honest with yourself and self-exclude yourself by yourself for the length of time you'll want to take off the casino. If I ever find myself gambling carelessly, I am not going to be using the self-exclusion feature, rather I will quit gambling for as long as I like or it takes me to heal from my gambling irresponsibility.

Self excluding yourself from one casino while gambling with others won’t change much because there are chances you can’t still hit that same loss in the others casinos , so won’t name any different. I think the best is to just stop for the main time and try to get your head back in the game when experience losses in gambling I usually stop for a while sometimes month and even more because I’m literally doing it for fun and not for the funds .

[If you need that then you don't have a proper management  for your betting. There's absolutely  no reason to bet with your entire bankroll. I mean what the fvck is wrong with you? Even with just one round, it’s still not proper.

I haven't  had any reason to sign up for self exclusion and i don't  think i will.

If you need to block entire apps, you can do that from your device or get third party service to help you stay focused on the recovery .

Personally I think that if we do not have self control over our own emotions then I do not think that such self-exclude features will be of any use.

Because you have already mentioned in your topic, I have many friends who I have seen who are using the self-exclude feature on one website but later go and open an account at another casino and bet there. I think every gambler has multiple accounts on multiple websites so this thing is not really going to be of any use unless we control ourselves.

[Hispo]

I have thought about self-excluding myself from the casinos I have used, yes. But it was just on a single occasion in which I lost money which I did not have any plan to lose to my bad luck.
Instead of self-exclusion, I opted to learn from what happened to me and practice responsible gambling instead.
Had I taken self-exclusion, I would have probably gone for 6 months, instead of one year or for life.

It is important to note that self-exclusion does not mean anything if you continue to gamble on other casinos in which you have access to, you have just reduced your own options, but you also need to be disciplined, otherwise you will continue to lose money you could not afford to lose in the first place.

[jeremypwr]

If I was ever in this position that I thought about self-exclusion, I would stop gambling completely.
Usually people do this when gambling has taken a major financial toll on them.

Even quitting gambling is not always easy except one create another addiction, gambling is very addictive and once a gambler losses it’s always not easy to just quit and just stay away from betting especially when the gambler have money in his account, i just feel the only way a gambler can quit is to create another addiction that will take away his attention for some period of time, that will also enable the gambler restrain himself for some time from gambling, rushing to re-gamble after a big loss is always not so good because it will make the gambler lose more.

If I give my opinion from my personal place then I have not faced any such situation yet because I have always used such an amount that I can afford to lose to avoid bad loss since I started gambling. And I am continuing that now and at the same time I am not a hardcore gambler at all.
So for now I have not faced that situation.

But if something like that comes in the future then I will try to follow my current strategies again where I always keep expectations low and try to keep my gambling bankroll below 5% which basically allows me to gamble safely. But I don't think self-exclude will be an option.

[Hazink]

Yes, it does come after losing in a way I did not expect, like a streak loss. The next thing which will come to my mind is to completely ban myself from that casino so that I don't come back there again, but I still end up don't self excluding since I already know it's an option which don't stop anything and some cases don't even honour it, self exclusion activated yet some will still be allowed to make deposit instead of changing the account to withdraw only.

If a gambler can open a new account in another casino, how does that help him to remember to stop gambling? Small or huge bankroll, why does it matter?

If you didn't notice, there are many "scam accusation" topics about people who excluded themselves, but they opened a new account on the same platform, and what happened later? I am not a judge or a jury.... I just think that this feature is pointless. If you wish to play, you will find a way... and be sure that many people will try to abuse it.

 I've never requested self-exclusion before because I've never had any reason to do so. But in a few cases when I have faced minor losses, I just shut down psychologically and emotionally (not in an extremely bad way though),and the next thought is, "That's it for today; we play again another day." I can already imagine myself having a big loss. Yeah, I would definitely self-exclude myself until I am sure I am ready to gamble again or until I forget I was ever gambling.

[nara1892]

Friend, I have thought of various ways and done various ways to exclude myself from gambling, the goal is so that I don't gamble too much, I have deleted my account, even blocked it, cleared my search history on Google and others related to access to reach the casino, but in the end I still always find a way to gamble again, I don't know but I'm sure other gamblers also experience and feel this and from here I can conclude that whatever you plan depends on how serious your intentions are.

In fact, you have to be careful a little earlier and start self-exclusion in general. Simply turning on self-exclusion or pulling the brakes on a casino site after a big hit won't do the trick.

If you do that, you won't last long. When the mind gets restless you jump off and go to another casino and start playing. There is only one way out of this mess.

And that is, to erect a strict 'stop-loss' (stop-loss) rules for yourself. In addition to this, enough time should be taken to clear the insistence or 'tilt' of that loss from inside the head. And until the pressure of the previous gambling loss is completely gone from the head, keep the gambling account completely closed.

In fact, the strict daily and weekly limits themselves seem to be more effective than introducing these features in the casino.

Self-exclusion after a bad loss is not the solution to the loss. It is like pouring water into a basket, it will sip through it.
Now, I understand why some players would come here and blame the casino for allowing them to access their account despite their self-exclusion.
In my estimation, the proper way a self-exclusion should work is that it should be borne out of a genuine desire to fix one's gambling struggles rather than as a reactionary measure to a bad loss.

So invariably you are not helping yourself on that action of self exclusion.
If you will only request to be self-excluded after as a result of your great loss in a casino but you could still access other casino site(s), then it obviously means that you are only obsessed with the casino probably and not ready to take caution from your previous experience.
You just felt unlucky with the casino or maybe they are being partial that is why you have to switch over.

With this mentality, you are only playing yourself and that will never help you guides because you can still suffer similar loss if you keep playing without self controls.

[Russlenat]

Having the idea of self-exclusion has not crossed my mind yet. Instead, I just pause for a while and take a couple of days break, and start to bet only a small amount after having a bad loss. I have been doing this for years, and it works so I think no need for self-exclusion anymore, I can manage myself and do self-exclusion on my own.

But let's say I'm going to use it in the future, maybe I will choose a 1 month exclusion first, then 6 months, then 12 months, until I can tell I can leave gambling whenever I want. No rush, I will just do it one step at a time.
