Would it be nice to see a body or agency for gambling self exclusion?

If I get you rightly, you are saying the self-exclusion option should not be made directly through casinos, but through a separate agency that will enforce the restriction across all casinos within its jurisdiction. Yes, I like that option. Some casinos are not making any deliberate effort to self-exclude their customers who are obviously gambling beyond their limits. Those customers bring them more money, so they will choose to go against the gambling rule than let the customer go.

Addiction is not a joke. Addicted gamblers need to follow strict measures to achieve their aim of recovery. An agency that is capable of restricting them from using all gambling platforms within its jurisdiction will do gamblers a lot of good. This time, there will no longer be cheating or secret gambling. Once you're done, you're done for good until your self-exclusion period is completed.

You are right, it will be very essential and beneficial to one's life, if they are being forced to leave any casino bet for good, they might see it as wickedness but when they will later realize the good you done for them, they will come back later thanking good, if not this way, it will be difficult to help someone who is really addicted to the game, as it will prevent and protect them from a lot of problems that would have ruined their lives.

If I am losing money, and a casino tells me that they are cutting me off, I would actually thank that place. Because after all, a casino exists for one reason which is making a profit, and they could have just let me ruin my life and they would get richer, and yet they are not and they are stopping me which means they are a great business.

Do you see McDonald's rejecting to serve fat people? Do you see any cigarette companies rejecting to sell it to cancer patients? Do you see any business really, stop selling their items to their customers for any reason? They would be glad to take your money, so if a casino can get richer if they keep me playing and yet they still think of me and make me stop then they are a great business.

Any institution created to reduce gambling or anything related to gambling addiction will fail unless players are willing to gamble responsibly.
Irresponsible players can always circumvent the limits and continue playing.
So, it's not about the rules, but about the gambler themselves.

That is why its about the gambler, if they are determined to stop gambling, there is no time they will be forced to do so, beside gambling its not a do or die game, where they must gamble. So they can decide to do whatever thing they please or want, as far it won't affect them in anyway, that way shows how wise and responsible they are towards gambling. Everyday should not be a bad day for them and also, handling gambling this way, will make it more enjoyable and fun to gamble with.

Most times it feels like gambler itself are the people who are pushing themselves into gambling addiction because they didn't have a timetable or a bottom line which if they had reach that moment you wouldn't see them gambling again.
Let say if someone have to be gambling maybe 3 to 4 times in a day they should be that sticking that such plans, and risk management is actually what most people are suffering from because they could fund around  1k and this amount they do not have a proper plan for it, and not all trade the said trader should be jumping into it.

I believe it would be very good if the government had a way to blacklist people prohibited from gambling in all casinos. This blacklist would include people with proven addiction, confirmed by a doctor, and recommended to the government that they be placed on the blacklist, preventing them from creating accounts in all casinos. This way, when a person tried KYC (Know Your Customer) at a casino, they would be rejected and unable to gamble again.

It would be the only way to protect addicted people from gambling again. Now, regarding self-exclusion, I honestly think there shouldn't be a way to be banned from all casinos. Because people can change their minds and want to gamble again. However, if a person were proven by a doctor to be addicted and shouldn't gamble again, then in that case I agree with being blacklisted and banned from all casinos.

Exactly my view also innthis case, gamblers are meant to take responsibility of their actions while gambling, and casino shouldn't be bordered with anything that concerned the gamblers manna of gambling and what it does to they finances this is because, casino should and are more focused onntheir own revenue generation and how to keep the traffic up on the casino since they are running a business that requires gamblers loses for them to make profits.
