Casinos, players don't only serve for profits.

[Derekfunds]

Casinos have to worry about the mental and financial health of their players. There has to be a loss limit, lock the account for a week, a month, even forever. On the casino's page, visible for everyone to see on the casino's first page, bankroll management tips, psychological counseling available to help their clients. Because an addicted player who loses a lot of money will probably never want to participate in gambling again, and will become a testimony and example to other people, who will speak bad and stay away from any casino. So the casino that worries about its clients will be well respected, will have more credibility and more profit and will be a highlight in the segment, and with this many more players, the casino will be recognized because it worries about the mental and financial health of its players and doesn't only aim for profit, and will differentiate itself from its competitors positively, everyone wins, casino and players.

What's your opinion?

I don't understand why you want a Casino to do these things you are saying while the reason they started the business was to make profit. For your information Casino doesn't owe anybody these kind of treatment, all Casino always advise everyone to gamble responsibly so if anyone overlook this, they will surely have a taste of what they overlooked in the first place. Though this case look somehow inhumane but this is business.

Let me ask this question, do you always pity a Casino when you are hiting them hard with winnings?

[qurbanshah02]

Sounds good, but will the casino actually run its business that way? 
Do players prefer that kind of attention with restrictions, or do they like being given bonuses to keep playing? 
The casino will still get blamed when an addict falls apart. But the addict is the one at fault for not gambling responsibly. 
This business doesn’t operate on a win-win path.

Then why do they gamble with money and why are close to losing money? Every gambler always gambles for profit, whether he eats it or indulges in it in his life or works to earn a living. It is important for a gambler that he has taken $100, has he gone to benefit the casino or has come to benefit himself. Because when he loses, in that case the casino benefits and when he himself wins, he gets profit. Although if you win in the casino and you win $500 in a single night, you will keep it with you or return it to the casino. That is why every gambler comes to gamble with money to earn profit, otherwise no one will waste their time in so many digital casinos. Today's influencers earn money by investing money, although why don't they gamble to pass the time because it is not good for them. That is why this is wrong. Every gambler always gambles for profit.

What's your opinion?

Casinos are profit-driven platforms; they have to recoup their initial costs, and they have to maintain their profits to continue their existence.

They already have a warning on their terms that players should play with money that they can afford to lose; apart from that, they have self-exclusion.

When it comes to the player's mental health and focus on gambling, it's the players' responsibility to check their behavior, although there are times that casinos will interfere if the player is spending too much.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Casinos do what is required of them by the regulators. If the regulators also care for players as much as you do, they can give casinos the kind of guidelines you are talking about and require them to follow those guidelines before they are allowed to operate legally. Don't you think so?

Casinos care about people; that's why they still advise against underage gambling. They have also introduced the now trending self exclusion service. You can see that most casinos are regulated and have undergone and passed the requirements set by the authorities. So, if the authorities never required them to display these kinds of rules prominently on their front page, they won't do it.

They already expect that every adult who comes to play in a casino has a brain in their head. For example, if you just started gambling today and lost your one month's salary in a single day, your intuition should tell you that this kind of activity needs to be approached sensibly.

Imagine working for 22 days (excluding Saturdays and Sundays) to earn your salary, only to lose it all in one day playing casino games. Such an experience should already teach you a lesson. You don't need the casino to write it boldly on the screen before you can learn how to be a responsible player.

[Onyeeze]

Nobody is been forced to gamble, anyone who decides to gamble is also ready to face the consequences that may result to it, if gambling platform do that, it means that they are discouraging their clients to gamble and patronize them again, I dont even think that gambling platforms keeps or have a record of people who gambles with them and lose often, assuming they have such record they would be considering other players that experience a lot of losses with them on a particular platform, but the thing is that even though you lose they are not after your losses, and they even be expecting you to gamble more so that they will keeps making profit, so that is why you see people saying gambling set a rule that favours them most

[Tetu100]

The only persons that can help an addicted gambler are his loved ones. Responsible gambling is being practical.

First of all , I will start by saying that all gamblers should be able to take proper care of themselves before requesting for an external body for assistance.  Because you can't just allowed yourself to be addicted despite several warnings about gambling addiction and afterwards you start looking for a possible way out when you know it's as a result of your negligence, who does that. However , Smart users or gamblers always know when to abstain when on a losing streak, and also make sure they follow their bankroll properly and every single measures that will help them stay in track in their gambling streak without deviating to avoid addiction.  

Addiction is one crazy experience that we shouldn't pray for, that's why is better you prevent it earlier, than start looking for a way of fighting it.

[Pandu Geddon]

Addiction is one crazy experience that we shouldn't pray for, that's why is better you prevent it earlier, than start looking for a way of fighting it.

Actually, gamblers know that they should get out of the game. It's just that their common sense twists it into an opportunity to win back what they've lost. Even when casinos limit deposits or give certain warnings to stop gamblers who are already addicted, gamblers will find other ways to keep gambling. You're definitely right that prevention is better, but right now, we see more gamblers who aren't ready to do that.

[I_Anime]

If you say this to the casinos what about the gamblers. Haven't you heard of a gambler that will ask the casino to put his account on self exclusion and later, go open a new account in a different casino entirely, and continue gambling.

There's nothing the casinos can do to stop an addicted gambler than to cooperate with him and hit the self exclusion button if he asks. The only persons that can help an addicted gambler are his loved ones. Responsible gambling is being practical.

Everything actually boils down to the gambler, to make things worse most gamblers don’t know if they are addicted or getting addicted to gambling , until the effect of being a gambling addict start being more obvious. So first the gambler has to work on he or herself first , knowing their limit (the amount of risk they can tolerate or handle ) and work with a specific budget  to avoid story that touches the heart some gamblers are not ready to be save . A gambler that’s ready to be save will first admit to him or herself first that they’re addicted before they can seek for help from their love ones .

[alastantiger]

There are already several popular casinos on this forum that offer features designed to help gamblers deal with problems related to their gambling activities. But, many people simply don't consider those features important and choose to focus on continuing to gamble instead. That's why I don't think such features can be considered a significant factor that gives one casino a competitive advantage over another.

The problem is from the gamblers as they don't agree that they're addicted that's why it's very difficult for you to help them out and most times the casinos can not do anything hence the features which they have introduced is of no value. Many gamblers do not care about anything else because all they care about is how they can deposit and start gambling.

Some gamblers do not even care about withdrawal options untill it is time for them to do that. Casinos know this too and that's why the focus has always been on better games and users interface instead of helping out addicted gamblers to  become better. Casinos are after their profit so we should not expect them to put their resources on things that does not benefit them.

Casinos have to worry about the mental and financial health of their players.
[..snip..]
What's your opinion?

I don't know, but I'm on the fence here. It's business after all at the end of the day and how much money they can take away from gamblers. Sure there is this so called self-exclusion, but that could just be a front as not many gamblers are taking this because they don't know or don't like.

So still a win win for the casino themselves, we don't want it because we think we are in control. But then when we go under this program, sooner or later we will go back again as the temptation is always there. It's like there is a inner demon in us telling to go back into gambling.

What's your opinion?

Gambler themselves are the main responsible in case like this, no one can stop a person when they want to open new accounts. Although deposit limits, loss limits, self exclusion these cannot prevent real players from gambling still every casino must have these features so that those who actually want to stop should be able to stop..
one thing that can truly stops an addict from gambling but it is close to impossible which is to temp ban the user from all the casino, when a user in a casino get banned the user won't be able to create a new account in any other casino platform but to do this every casino in the world need to be kyc based and united.

[l99l]

I agree that they need to think about their players in the long term. Instead of focusing solely on short-term profit, investing in systems that protect the financial and psychological well-being of players would be both ethically sound and more commercially sustainable.
After all, if a player experiences significant losses in a short period and becomes completely disillusioned with the game, that customer is already lost in the long run.
Conversely, a casino that truly implements responsible gaming policies can build a longer-term relationship with its players.

[ralle14]

Those are the bare minimum that most casinos offer when it comes to dealing with gambling addiction, but I doubt most of them are willing to go the extra mile and compromise their profits.

Also, gamblers shouldn't be pointing fingers at the casino for failing to take care of their addiction because it could've been any casino and the outcome would still be the same. Others even mentioned how easy it is to get away with self-exclusion, so no matter what solution the casinos offer, it's barely going to make a dent unless you start helping yourself.

I agree that no one is forced to gamble and that every player is responsible for their own decisions. However, I do not fully agree with the notion that gambling platforms are unaware of which players are suffering losses. Most licensed casinos maintain detailed records of player activity for security, compliance, and business analysis purposes. They know who makes frequent deposits, who wins and loses, and how often people play. The fundamental issue is that the gambling business is designed to generate profit from player activity; as long as players continue to gamble, the operator maintains a mathematical advantage in the long run. That is why measures to support responsible gambling exist, though their ultimate effectiveness depends on the player's decisions, and self-control plays a crucial role in gambling.

What's your opinion?

Essentially, the casino never forces anyone to gamble, players who visit, sign up and make a deposit of one's own accord, without coercion. Therefore, players are always reminded to gamble responsibly. Furthermore, it goes without saying that casinos aim to make a profit, it’s impossible for every player to win. If they wish, players can request to have their accounts blocked, but i’m sure this will only be a temporary measure, at least until your emotions and frustration subside. Then, once you have funds available again, you’ll likely deposit at the same casino or try your luck at another one.

What's your opinion?

It's not casinos that worry about players, they don't need to. It's your law makers. Casinos just follow gambling- and consumer protection regulations. So reason you are offered things like self-exclusion in the first place, is based on the fact that it's mandatory for casinos to offer that.

In fact, if casinos refuse to comply with your requesting this, you would have a solid legal case against them and no casino would want that kind of hassle or reputation.

Gambling casino serves on many purposes and that is why we need to identify why we are using one, both the player and the casino are also achieve their common goal with gambling and this is why everything must be made on a balanced approach, because we cannot bring in the regulation challenges here,  while everything must meet up to the standard of what is required for a gambler to play safe and the casino to render their service accordingly and regulators not to frustrate the operation and use of a gambling casino.

What's your opinion?

Casinos will never do this because they are looking for money to expand their business. If you go through some casinos, it is always written to customers to gamble responsibly. If casinos can know the worth of every customer, then it is easy to assume how much they are supposed to spend on gambling and when they are gambling with a large amount. However, since this is not possible, casinos can't give limits to gamblers; instead, they will only provide gamblers with the awareness to gamble responsibly. If we are honest, every gambler is looking for customers who can spend more on gambling.

Casinos, if given the chance, will exploit gamblers until there is nothing left of them. That is why regulators are there to always make sure that casinos carry out their services in a way that gamblers are also protected.

Most of the casino profits come from problem gamblers. Problem gamblers are regular and consistent customers, so who would want to lose such a customer? OP is right with his suggestions. Casinos should be mandated to provide ways or means to protect gamblers from addiction or help those who are already addicted. If they can restrict a particular gambler when they exceed the spending or time limits set by the casino, that would be fine.

What's your opinion?

Your idea is good, and some of it is already implemented, but the casino puts the burden of personal responsibility on the gambler.   It is the gambler's choice to gamble, so they are the ones responsible for their personal finances, both losses and winnings, and their emotions.

The authority does not require casinos to implement some of your idea like putting or locking access to betting when a bet amount threshold is met. Or when a certain loss is acquired.

It's not casinos that worry about players, they don't need to. It's your law makers. Casinos just follow gambling- and consumer protection regulations. So reason you are offered things like self-exclusion in the first place, is based on the fact that it's mandatory for casinos to offer that.

In fact, if casinos refuse to comply with your requesting this, you would have a solid legal case against them and no casino would want that kind of hassle or reputation.

I highly agree that it is not the casino that should be directed by @OP's word, but the lawmakers, since they are the ones setting up rules and regulations that the casino follows. It is not the casino that should be fixed, but rather the regulation guidelines about gambling services.  The casino will comply with any regulations and implementations by the authority if they want to operate smoothly.  So any request or ideas about a certain policy about caring for gamblers should be sent to the regulatory body.
