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

[Exitoral]

I don't think it is really about self exclusion. It is about controlling yourself. You just pointed out how you can still access other crypto casinos. But if you didn't bet on them, then you can actually control yourself. One can decided to do self exclusion and still indulge in betting. All what he did was to withdraw him or herself from the public and still went into hiding betting.

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.

No player wants to think about complete self-exclusion because they think they're in control and will excel at it, even if that's not true. I haven't reached this point yet and haven't used self-exclusion, but when I experienced some of my biggest losses, I simply stopped playing for a few months to think things through, cool off, and look at life and finances from a different perspective. It was hard, but it gave me a lot of mental strength as a player; now I don't give myself the slightest chance of losing more than I should.

Hiding from public to bet isn't self exclusion at tall. You're right many don't want the public to know about their gambling style and they hide to gamble, that's self deceit and it changes nothing, you can only die in silence. You can still exclude yourself publicly and still mess your life up with gambling.

All we need in gambling is self control not exclusion, you can exclude yourself today then come back tomorrow with same gambling habit and still lose huge sum of money but you can stay in gambling with self control and still no be affected. Knowing when to take a break and learning how to win is a plus in gambling, you have to stop depending on your own predictions and follow others predictions at times. In all self control is more important than self exclusion.

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 havent tried myself on having that self exclude or using up this feature because im not really that good when it comes to control, but usually whenever i do tend to stop and wont be playing into a casino for a certain duration then i wont really be doing it. This isnt just that talking on gambling but also in other things in life on which once im done then i wont really be that dealing with it all over again as long i do have that frustration and disappointment then it wont really be that dealing up with it no matter what but somehow if we do speak about gambling then we do have tons of platforms that do exist on which you would definitely be enticed to play. Lets say that you have stopped on playing on that particular casino and you would be saying that you would stop on playing into it then your mind would be telling you on what if you would be playing into other platform and would be testing out your luck on it? For sure that most gamblers do really failed up into this one.

Of course taking Self exclusion in a particular casino doesn't make sense, it has to be done generally. Although some gamblers believe that a casino could be the reason for Thier bad luck so for that they can decide to self exclude in that particular casino to test their luck in other casinos. at that point it is no longer Self exclusion rather, they only chose to avoid the casino for the main time since it's no longer working for them. When I self exclude after a bad loss in one particular casino, its also affect other casino sites, I don't only do that in one particular casino.

No matter how bad the outcome, I don’t like the idea of self-exclusion. Besides, I don’t like going over the financial limits I’ve set for myself. So everything stays within normal limits, which keeps me from feeling too bad even if I happen to suffer a big loss all at once and that rarely happens, except maybe when I used to play poker. There are times when we blow through our bankroll all at once when we get carried away and want to get even. But in sports betting and other forms of gambling, I think it’s very rare for us to bet large sums all at once, right? So, yeah, everything always stays within normal limits.

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.

That's a great strategy. Setting aside a weekly amount of money just for gambling is a good thing, and it gives you more control. I've tried the same thing but with a monthly amount, and I haven't been able to do it well. I'll try doing it weekly because monthly is more suitable, and I don't like that. I think things are less visible with regard to money when you're on a weekly basis. It's great advice, and I'm glad you shared it.

This is an interesting question Op.
So previously I thought of going on self exclusion for a month but eventually I forgot and went on gambling. Currently I don't think I'll be okay with self exclusion. I believe that I have grown above the level of not gambling responsibly. Self exclusion are for physical casino players not for those who play online.

After a very bad loss, self exclusion can come across anybody’s mind, especially when you have lose your entire bankroll. Sometimes taking a break from gambling is better than trying to chase after losses and even save them from losing even more. The level of self exclusion depends on the situation. if it is just an emotional gambling after a bad season, a few months will help. But if gambling has turn to something that you can’t control, then you need one year or even lifetime and Self exclusion will be a better option. The thing is that excluding yourself from one casino will not totally solve the problem because there are other casinos that are available. At the end self exclusion works best if you take a personal decision to stay away from gambling. Taking a break doesn't mean you’re weak but it’s a sign that you recognize the problem and decide to protect yourself from making wrong decision.

I have never lost much money gambling because I have gambled with very little money and have come out ahead with little money. I have lost a lot, but my losses are so small that I do not regret them. You have used a lot of money in gambling that after losing you have to face a situation that you cannot control. Then you will gamble with very little money and you will see that you will not feel so bad if you lose.

My thoughts exactly, you can self exclude and still create a different account on another casino if you don't have self control. A lot of people go about quitting gambling the wrong way that's the reason why they find themselves going back to it constantly. The most important thing is setting limits for yourself, that's why self control and discipline is important.

If a person abandons a game from one casino and goes to another casino to play, he is not keeping himself away from gambling. He is indeed gambling, he has just changed the place, it is not called taking a break, it is called changing the platform. However, those who do such things do not blame themselves but blame the casino and start playing at another casino just in the hope that they may win there. Such behavior is a sign of addiction. Such people believe that by changing the location, they will be able to make up for their losses at the next opportunity. Therefore, if they are repeatedly affected, in order to avoid addiction and losses, voluntary exclusion or taking a break is necessary, as well as setting one's own financial limits, self-awareness and control.

It is very important to control yourself while gambling if we cannot maintain self-control over ourselves we can put ourselves in big losses. After winning money by gambling most gamblers cannot maintain self-control over themselves and as a result, gamblers start gambling aggressively in the hope of winning more money and from here the destruction begins. Therefore always be aware of gambling whether you win or lose keep a calm mind and take the right decisions with time and gamble for entertainment with the money you can afford to lose.

If you know that your gambling lifestyle is not encouraging, it is better you go for gambling exclusion so that you don't become too addicted to gambling. I know that one of the reasons why we gamble everytime is to make profits and when we don't make that profit, that can make us to gamble more so that we can see how we can make money by all means gambling.

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.

It's not about the player actually wanting to move to another casino to play a thing; it's about them forgetting sometimes that they actually self-excluded, while other times the urge to gamble can push them into trying it, but since they have already self-excluded in one casino, they can easily move and try it in another place. As far as I know, we still don't have any system that could be used to apply for self-exclusion in all casinos at once and have it become effective.

This awkward for me to even imagine it that a person who gambles with just one gambling platform would forget that he had once self excluded himself from gambling. This can only be if the gambling is with the character of littering around numerous gambling platforms and also being an addict too makes the whole thing worse. Imo on this subject for such system implementation, I feel it's needless.

Exactly self control and restraint is very important and the basic foundation for safe gambling, this is because a lot of times when gamblers find themselves in such positions that endangered their feelings and life like addiction and the rest, we should always point to the individual themselves to be in charge and decide with in themselves to resolve their issues first before involving third party helps.
