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

[Lida93]

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. 

This is exactly the reason why I don't self-exclude myself from a casino because how many am I going to apply self-exclusion on when we have varieties of options?

What I just do is discipline myself and avoid gambling for a long period of time. I could remember a period I was on a losing streak, and I disabled most things related to gambling on my phone, and I stayed almost 6 months without playing any single game.

It's self delusion on gamblers who do use the self exclusion features this way because it's like making the feature lol as though it's not achieving the aim for which it was introduced in the first place. If you're self excluding to never gambling anywhere else, it's a different thing, but when you self excluded yourself in one casino just to start gambling in another, that's pure bs.

I just try to limit myself when I'm emotional from losing but not for too long because the longest I can go is a week off gambling after which I'll go back to gambling.

Self-exclusion is good especially if you quit immediately but I personally can't or haven't been able to do that now because the influence of gambling is still very big for me so I'm still comfortable with it
I will only stop temporarily when stressed but when that passes and I am ready to gamble again then I will gamble.

It sounds like you haven't been able to keep gambling to a recreational level. Because you yourself understand that gambling is affecting you, but still you can't stop yourself. I think this is not the usual recreational gambling. Rather, the fact that you can't control it for more than a few days means that you are very close to gambling addiction. Many gamblers say they will not play for a few days due to stress and losses, but they can't quit it completely.

[CryptSafe]

Self-exclusion is generally pointless, as there are countless gaming platforms where you're not excluded and can continue gambling. It's more of an emotional act, designed to relieve the negative emotions associated with a loss. But if we're talking about a major loss, you should take a long time out to rethink the situation. The length of this period depends on the size of the loss.

I agree with you here. What is the point of self exclusion when you can access many other casino's except the one you self exclude from. Do you not think one can still gamble with other casinos? It would be making more sense if the self exclusion is general like if one excludes themselves from a casino, the rest of the other casino's are notified like it should be on a data base or something of that nature where a little information is stored so that other casinos can be notified and also access it if any access from that IP address decides to gamble again them they would restrict the account holder. This way self exclusion would be making some sense and having a meaning because anything outside it is a waste of time because the gambler if not disciplined would definitely play with another casino.

The duration of time that a gambler can go on self exclusion actually depends on individuals, and honestly is been long I started gambling, and has gone on self exclusion for several times, but the duration of time I want for self exclusion varied. Sometimes, I can go for three months, and sometimes for six months, but the highest I know I have gone for self exclusion is one year. In my own gambling self exclusion, I make sure I abstain from gambling entirely, and not only a particular gambling platform.
There are factors that can make gamblers go on self exclusion, such as long term loosing streak, or hitting a big win , and you want to think of what you want to use that money. Going on self exclusion is not a wrong decision because it can save a gambler from spending more money gambling or in the case of huge win, it will also enable a gambler to make good use of his win.

It is likely that someone who has gambled will return to gambling either in the near or distant future, but obviously it is possible. And a small percentage of people can stop gambling by immediately stopping completely so they really don't gamble anymore either because they have lost their curiosity or they already understand the context of gambling which will only make them experience losses.

I don't care if you return to gambling again in a short period of time but I suggest that you should be able to do it wisely, one of which is from the time and budget, by not too often and not using too much money, especially beyond your own abilities.

[Shineup]

This can only work for someone who's not a gamble addict, someone who's not an addict might as well stop it from that bad lost, but someone who's into it and has been addicted to it will pick no offense but rather see it as a normal thing, and will be willing to even stake more only to win back his lose, like a gamble addict already knew the game is 50/50 so anything can actually happen and it's either win or lose, so no amount of money can make him exclude himself from gambling, I have some how experienced it.

I do not need self-exclusion feature in a casino because I can stop at anytime as I wish because for me self-exclusion is useless if I have no strong will to stop.
Just like you said yourself that you are self-excluded in a casino but you can still access your account in other casinos.
If you ask about how long to stop after a bad loss, I will say that I will stop until I have extra money to come back but I can also stop longer as I wish because gambling is not a must thing to do for me.

The best self-exclusion is the one you do by yourself and not the one you requested from a casino. I've read stories where players who applied for casino self-exclusion program were still allowed to gamble on the casino. The best self-exclusion is your resolve not to gamble again for a certain period of time, it surely helps to deactivate every casino detail on your devices, clear your history tabs, and delete the site from your password history so that you don't get interested again when you see them on your device.

I have this habit of staying completely away from gambling after a very terrible loss. But how long it takes me to recover that loss or how long I stay away isn’t actually something that’s kind of static. Sometimes it takes me a couple of weeks before coming back to the screen, sometimes a couple of months and sometimes longer. I remember staying over a year without gambling simply because of one loss I experienced some time ago, and these breaks or self exclusions can turn out to be exceptionally helpful for gamblers as it makes you regain complete control when you come back.

This is very true, there’s been situations where people requested self exclusion from a particular casino and still ended up switching to a different casino only to repeat the same process that made them request for self exclusion in the first place. Whenever I feel I need a break, I don’t bother to even request for nothing from the casino, I just go ahead to exit the casino and give myself the break I feel I need, and that’s just a lot more effective for me.

What, then, is the point of self-exclusion?  Have you heard the story that was in the "Scam Accusations" section, where a guy was blocked in one casino as soon as he decided to withdraw his money, and in the explanation of the support there was proof that he himself asked them to ban him, but in fact he was a cheat, having several accounts? I just don't remember the details, but after reading this story a long time ago, I came to the conclusion that if you really quit the game, then you need to quit it completely and everywhere.

The fact that you play somewhere and not somewhere is comparable to how people stop smoking; they don't smoke at home, but the harm remains the same.

This means you have a good self control on yourself which is a good thing for a gambler.
But not everyone has good self control and so self exclusion feature is a good thing to have on a gambling site.
Yes, the gambler always have the flexibility to gamble on a different gambling site even if they have this feature enabled on one of the sites but this is the least he can do.
If he self excludes himself from his primary gambling site then he might not be able to enjoy the same on other sites.
If he self excludes himself from multiple gambling sites then he might not gamble for next few days at all.
All in all, there's no harm to have this feature but again, having a good self control and controlling yourself from over gambling is what everyone should target to achieve.

[Shinpako09]

There was no self-exclusion feature before, and I managed to stay away from gambling for more than a year twice, if I'm not mistaken. Did it help? Maybe yes, because I stopped gambling. But after that, I became even more aggressive compared to before I stopped. It's like I went back to zero, I couldn't control myself.

No matter how long you stop, if you can't change the way you approach gambling, it's kind of pointless aside from avoiding losses because you're not playing. Since you still have access to other casinos, I suggest being loyal to only a few casinos and turning on all the self exclusion features available. Self exclusion will only work if you don't just move to another casino.

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

No, of course! If self-exclusion could come to one's mind after just a bad betting outcome, then the person must be irrational with his betting and the negative effect must be huge. Otherwise, nothing should have caused that, and the gambler may just take a break. However, we need to know whether the break is from a personal break or the self-exclusion feature of the casino itself.

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?

You are taking this farther than the situation is. Well, it's your choice. But me, I wouldn't self-exclude, but just a break, and if I lose interest forever, fine.

From what you’ve said, i can conclude that you’re a responsible gambler who’s able to control yourself while gambling.

In gambling, it’s very rare for people to just stop when they’re losing, it’s not uncommon to see a gambler continuing to chase their losses with whatever money they have left, myself included. This isn’t without reason, it’s incredibly difficult to resist those emotions and temptations, thinking that a big win is just around the corner if only they extend their gambling session, that’s the reality of the situation.

Self-exclusion is not an option for me in gambling because I'm not going to consider it, I don't see any reason why I should explain myself from complain opportunities or playing on a casino after things of gotten wrong already, isn't it better and much more better to fix it before happening, as a sensitive gambler, we must be mindful of every steps we are taking so as to lead to positive results in gambling.

In all honesty, after a really bad loss, I think taking a break is a smart move. The exact length depends on the person, but I would probably choose at least 1 to 3 months just to clear my head and avoid chasing losses. One good example is someone who loses their entire bankroll on a bad night. If they come back the next day with emotions still running high, there is a good chance they will make even worse decisions. But after a few weeks or months, they can think more clearly and decide whether gambling is still worth it.

I think it doesn't really matter if we keep playing at other casinos and I honestly never did self-exclusion even though I had experienced a big loss because I always blamed myself for the loss I received so there was a big motivation for me to be able to avenge the loss even though it does take time, maybe the time I need is to stabilize my finances again after that I will be back to normal.

While gambling people should remove the idea of making profit first. The reason why we see this type of threads from the gambling community about having a bad lose which will make anyone to think about self exclusion is because, there were too much hopes while gambling. If not someone will not be thinking about staying away from gambling, these are the reasons why one will say that always gamble within your financial limits so you don't regret.

Then to help make this achievable for the best of willing gamblers, they should be a body like a union that controls this request across casinos, to make sure players who opt in for this option don't find any room of gambling in another casino. In absence of a body as such, self exclusion is completely worthless, because the urge to play games doesn't go away with it, hence, affected players who wish to go this route, should work first on their emotional strength before self excluding from a casino.
