Force ban/exclude someone to online gambling

[hedgeh0g]

Even if there is an option to ask casino to ban someone on purpose, I think that isnt going to help much to help addicted gambler. It can work only that gambler is not able to travel, lives in a small town where everyone know each other (works for offline gambling only). As we are talking about online gambling, where most are anonymous, then it is impossible to ban or exclude anonymous player. With help of VPN and opportunity to connect to free wifi or make new contract with internet provider, its impossible to to achieve what OP wants.

A gambler's brain will think quickly and make decisions quickly because they're driven by emotions—for example, they might want to win back their losses right now. They'll immediately come up with several different options and decide what's best. I remember when I needed to win back my losses urgently, so I took out a bank loan and did it very quickly because I wanted to numb the pain of a big loss. Of course, that was a long time ago, and I realized how scary it really is to be so obsessed with gambling. Of course, I've never done anything like that and I don't plan to. If I want to gamble more than I should, I immediately remember that incident and calm down.

This is extremely difficult to implement because of the availability of casinos no KYC casinos where users can register and play without undergoing KYC before making withdrawals. It only require email which does not reveal the identity of the player, hence, individuals can not possibly be banned across board if there is nothing to use and identify them. Even in countries where gambling is banned,  people still gamble using VPN and the mobile app of the casinos.

This is possible but I don't think it's possible in every country, in my country for example this isn't something that you can do, self excluding on behalf of someone isn't something that you can do without the gamblers consent. But if this is something that can be implemented by different online casinos then it would be very helpful to a lot of addicted gamblers that lack self control.

In this case there's no way that someone can be excluded as there's no information that can identify the gambler, though in  OP's perspective if that can be process then for sure it will help a lot especially those family members that was affected of the addiction, eventhough they are not the one who are participating but because they are in the place or they have personal connection they are affected both financially and physically, if ever that there's a casino that will implement this then they are helping not only the gambler but also the love ones who cares for them.

That depend on each government, if they care with their citizens, they will launch a platform that handling about gambling problems. I am not sure if that is available here but I am really hope that is available because addicted gamblers start increases.

That could be a temporary solution for those addicting because they must willing to take recovery by themselves and not because others asking that. I wonder how the government can ban/exclude someone to online gambling but that person still return to online gambling without wanting to cure himself.

Although it may be done by the government I am not quite sure that it will be effective, especially when someone is already addicted then he will usually become a stubborn person even if he has been warned by those closest to him it does not make him sober at all. With the number of addicted people increasing every time compared to people recovering from their addiction but I don't think the government will be able to solve this problem even if they give a strong warning, because the key is the addicted person himself.

I think the government may be capable of introducing a social awareness campaign that promotes a healthy attitude toward gambling and a better understanding of addiction. If people see the right messages on billboards and hear them from influencers messages focused specifically on healthy behavior, self-control, and responsible gambling rather than a total ban, it could reduce the number of people who develop gambling addiction. That’s because such messages can gradually settle into people’s subconscious. If, on the other hand, a person is forcibly blocked from gambling, they will most likely look for ways to bypass the restriction. As already mentioned, without a person’s voluntary consent and genuine desire to change, we won’t be able to overcome gambling addiction.

With what you said I agree, if maybe the approach is different so it is done slowly it might be successful in reducing the level of people who are addicted. Because indeed, if forced directly, it is likely that it will not work and what might happen is that the addict will become more rebellious, whereas if the method is slow, it can gradually open their minds that gambling does not have to be done desperately, especially this is about luck, not about how hard we try to win.

I'm curious, are there any platforms or gambling providers, or even some governments, that you can ask for someone to ban doing online gambling at all?

For example,
There is one family member of ours that we can confirm of gambling addiction, and we want them to be force excluded in participating in any online gambling without their confirmation anymore.


I'm curious that this could be some solution for gambling addiction of someone we know?

You guys should just take him to the rehab of his gambling lige is out of control, because there is nothing you guys can do for him to ban or exclude him from gambling. If he's banned in physical casino what about those online casino where parents and families has no clue?He just need support and mental care, excluding him may not be a solution because I don't know how you guys intend doing that. Don't forget that you can exclude him from every gambling site.

I don't think there's a way from our government to stop someone from playing online games and being addicted to it. Specially in your country wherein there is proliferation of gambling as it is being regulated by our government.

If it is land base, then maybe because I know someone who has been reported by his wife to almost all land base casinos. So the moment he steps in, he will be escorted as he is ban. But in the case of online, it's very hard to do that.

I don't think such exist anywhere especially for online casinos, it is very possible for physical off line casinos as myself have on several occasions witnessed an incident where someone will walk into the casino hall and request to see the manager of the place, and then warn him or her not to ever allow a certain person step foot inside that casino again, or else he or she might sue the casino to court, and just like that, the casino's management will comply, when ever the said individual comes around to gamble in that casino, he or she will be driven out by the casino's security guard(s), I've witness this happen on several occasions.

But then, I don't think such is possible for online casinos, the best way or thing to forcefully do is to seize whatever device the relative is using to access the online casino(s), could be mobile phone, laptop computer or whatever used to access websites on the Internet, I believe this is almost the same as going into the a physical casinos and warning them never to allow a certain person gamble there again.
Just my thinking anyway.

Even if that person prohibit in participating in any online gambling, he can still visits other online gambling site without telling anyone. No one can watch someone 24/7 full in their time because we have different activities so there is a chance for person to visits online gambling and play gambling.

Maybe there are any platforms but I am not sure if that can work properly. Addicted gamblers need to realize his addiction and willing to solve it to end it forever.

It requires an admission from the gambling addict to say that he is a gambling addict and wants to recover. That is not easy because many addicted people to gambling hard to admitted they are addicted.
