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

[Stable090]

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 you decide to access other casinos, then I won’t call that a self exclusion from gambling, but a self exclusion from a casino. If you lost a huge amount of money during gambling, then you should just avoid gambling completely, and you are not even suppose to gamble for that moment. If you decide to avoid a particular casino, and you decide to use other ones, you might still end up losing in the casino which you decide to use, because casino is not the cause of your loss.

For a gambler to have experienced bad loss shows that things have gone wrong already, honestly it is important to take a break when you get it wrong with gambling, so that you could freshen up and try to discover some aspects you need to fix up and start down playing in a responsible manner that will not affect you in a negative way, some gamblers fail to adhere to gambling signals that won them about some decision they are taken before things get out of hands.

Some people don't usually pay attention to themselves while they are gambling. They only realise how much they have lost when their balance is entirely gone. What you call a sign is what they can be seeing and ignoring it, as they could just be seeing the loss as normal loss until the losing streak hits them differently.

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

No

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 frustrated and can't accept that you lost that easily and think that the casino is cheating on you, and your self-exclusion is probably a revenge action since you can't do anything to get your funds back and in retaliation, you decided not to play on that casino again and use self-exclusion as an excuse.  

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. 

See, if you really wanted to stop gambling, the self-exclusion should be applied all across the gambling platform you are playing.  Anyway, I understand your sense of action   .  And it is a wise move IMO, since this casino will not be able to send you any ads anymore

Total withdrawal from gambling is the permanent solution to bad gambling experience when you lost a lot of money it shows that you don't have control over your gambling life and for that reason you should avoid it instead trying to manage the situation which could further results in to more worst outcome, some times elf exclusions alone doesn't work out for most people most especially those that are near addiction.

Much better to take a break than to self exclude.

That is for me.

But if there's no choice and the losses are truly significant and a lot. It's best to use any medium and tools for us just to stop ourselves to gamble more.

~snip~

Unfortunately never, I won't let it happen to me where self exclude needed cause I spend everything I have on gambling and end up losing it all. This week, I've already lost my weekly gambling budget and the urge to keep gambling is still there. It hasn't been a good run for this week either but I need to maintain my self control to avoid becoming greedy and chasing my losses. Since I've already set a budget for gambling so whenever I lose it, I hope I won't make a bad decision that leads to losing even more money through gambling.

The self-exclusion we see talking about is also something which has to do with the same break you prefer to take because of the self-exclusion in your favourite casino and you being restricted from depositing there; it could help you stay in check even when you forget. After staying away for some time, you can always apply for the exclusion to be lifted.

The rest of the other casino's should be aware both online and land casinos should be aware and this would be very easier to locate the player through KYC details for regulated casinos and for unregulated casinos, maybe IP address would be easily detected banded for the number of days the player ha chosen to self exclude.  I will have to create a thread with respect to this idea and see members opinion about it.

This process would be no hassle, had the right authority moved the motion to make it work, it explains how poorly fared the problem gamblers are in the society. In the modern society, they're the least behavioral disordered patients to receive adequate medical or precautionary attention, their cries hardly get heard, no designated clinics, zero public health centers for such players, and a lack of working system for self-excluded players, unless gameblock a slightly working system that players could reverse the ban on gaming stop across multiple online gambling apps, despite all the revenue generated by said gamblers through casinos to the government, they get no certainty of a central settings responsible for the irresponsible players.

Of course, self-exclusion is not an ideal solution yet and doesn't always work as well as it could. Particularly when it comes to extending protection to problem gamblers on a variety of platforms. A unified system can be operated between all regulated operators making self-exclusion even more effective in that players would not be able to just move to the other casino after getting banned. But there are some concerns about privacy and the gambling laws vary from one jurisdiction to another so it would be difficult to implement. In addition to technical solutions, increased investment should be made in counselling service, public awareness and special support services. Self-exclusion has a positive effect, but is most effective when complemented with accessible treatment and responsible gambling education.

I understand that one should not rule out a casino, but not the same as ruling out gambling. Anyone who faces a big loss and starts playing right away on another platform is still at high risk of making the same mistakes. But I don't think that all losing streaks have to lead to the end of the relationship with gambling. What is most significant is to take a sincere look at how you behave after. If they lose and it results in chasing, decision-making based on emotion and/or budgeting problems, then a long self-exclusion is a good idea. Responsible gambling means being aware of limitations and taking measures to safeguard yourself against any losses that may cause a larger issue.

On the basis of self exclusion, it's a personal decision, which step is a massive improvement on a player's state of mind, gamblers who have thought about doing this must have reflected, in and out, of their gaming experience, and graded it poor, and wanted a sabbatical leave, such that after a while they'll continue from where they stopped, but because a solid frame is not there to help them complete the designated circle of this journey they end falling short of their own personal will. Here, this issue, opens a slot, for whoever is responsible for the ware being of players to chime in their own way of helping out, it's a threat if nothing is done, to help the player stand his/her ground, because they now have no strong control over who they wish to become and what they want of themself. It's bitter to know that somebody tried to help themself, but failed because no working system was there to support their wish.

Gamblers who do this are addicted. They lack a sense of responsibility because they should have set a fixed amount of budget for gambling from their available funds. Yes, there are gamblers who gamble with the funds they have and do not stop until they are exhausted.

I have examples of gamblers who set a weekly budget and they do not gamble outside that budget. They are truly responsible gamblers. Use gambling for entertainment not to make money because those who gamble for money cannot control their emotions.

Different people have different reasons for going into gambling. When people think that they can't do without gambling, it could be a sign that they only hope on gambling for food as it is their only source of income. Such people will always persist further because they see it as an occupation order than fun. Some gamblers that are addicted initially started gambling for fun until they got addicted. So I will support you because when some body starts seeing gambling as a means of livelihood, he has a large chances of becoming addicted. So they both don't give up until all their money has finished. If they have an acceptable properties,, they can also gamble with it not minding how long their loosing streak has lasted because they believe their success is closer.

That's right, and as the OP points out, self-exclusion won't help you because it only prevents you from betting on that specific site. When the problem becomes too big, self-exclusion won't help; instead, you have to find a way to tackle the problem by any means necessary, as you mentioned.

But not sure if others are taking the self-exclusion program, and I do agree, we just need to take a break and reset everything. Unless you are really tired of losing and doesn't want to go and gamble again.

However, most gamblers will get over with it in just a couple of days. So it might be a bad decision to go into the self-exclusion program there on as it's more on a mental games for us. Just take a day off and then go on your normal life without thinking about gambling. And after that, you can go back again rejuvenated and starting back from zero.

[Betwrong]

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

Yes, sure, that's the only way, that's exactly what every gambler should do after a big loss. For how long? For me it depends on how mush I lost. If it's around the amount that I can afford to lose in a week - I'm going to self-exclude for a week. And I think losing more in one session than you can afford to lose in a week is madness, so from my own experience, I know this is where I definitely stop.

Once the wallet already empty and to the point that they don't have any other money to adds up, then that's the time that they'll realize that they already lose a lot, same with what you observe a gambler ignore those signs which supposedly their turning point to stop, but instead, they keep pushing for more, if you have that control still inside better to self-exclude not just in one or in a specific casino but take a good rest and leave everything, go and have some unwine moments to reassess before stepping your foot back and play.

Has anyone really used self-exclusion option or simple is able to resist gambling for a period of time? Wont self-exclusion option trigger wish to gamble more than simply resistance? Because "forbidden fruit" is always desired I think people would act more calm if they just put everything on pause, when self-exclusion will make them think about gambling more. What if they dont get access to account? What if self-exclusion isnt working?

I don't know but it could be plausible: i see no harm in trying to play this card
the forbidden fruit is such when others exclude you from using it or eating it, when it is you because you know it is bad for you, then it is different

I love fresh cheese for example, i can eat it but i feel terrible, no one stops me from eating it, but if i eat it i feel very bad, i have decided not to eat it anymore.

[Cityhunter34]

I would prefer to take a full break from gambling rather than only taking a self-exclusion from one casino. But since I don't gamble every day, I don't think there's a need for doing that. Gamblers just need to gamble responsibly with a small amount that wouldn't affect them, because there's no guarantee of winning in gambling.

Honestly, I have never thought of self-exclusion before, because I know when I'm going wrong, and I don't usually do anything other than accept it and move on, regardless of the amount.
