Casinos, players don't only serve for profits.

What's your opinion?

Casinos usually write on their site telling player to gamble responsible. It's either they are for the players or against the players but I don't think casinos are for the players.

If they go about telling and placing restrictions on players accounts, they will be on the losing side. Players too may not be pleased with having their accounts locked as they have the rights to keep on playing.

On the bright side, it could help reduce the number of addicted players but thus will cost the casino alot.

[Filicius]

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 think there is lots of casino who have the feature that name is self exclusion, the gambler could use that on that platform when there were in excessive gambling, but it should be realise from the inside of that gambler otherwise it will not be stay for long run because there is also example that player bypass  that or started gambling on the others platform.

And about the psychological counselling I can't remember but I have already saw that kind of things were also promote in gambling platform. So these are already staying on gambling sites, but my main question is, are they really being used here? Or are they just a show-off to show off? So that customers will increase? Although businessmen will not want to reduce their revenue.

The truth is that all this sounds a bit like science fiction to me. You say that you have known similar cases but I have not, and the truth is that the casino model proposed by the OP seems more the result of idealism than a really attractive idea for any businessman. We all agree that casinos should take their share of responsibility and always enable an option for self-exclusion, but from there to basing their operations on the psychological well-being of the user is a very big step.

I don't think we'll see anything like that in the next few years, unless it comes out of a collective non-profit initiative or something like that.

[Agbamoni]

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.

Through KYC, the gambling regulation bodies can help a gambler not just in self-exclusion but in exterminating all accounts, both now and future accounts created in any casino. This is how far the casino and the gambling regulation bodies in the country can go to help a gambler. The rest lies with people who claim they love him and also with himself.

The biggest crypto casinos have a "Responsible Gambling" webpage URL, that is placed at the bottom of the frontpage. Is that not enough for you? Imagine a casino putting all the things you have mentioned on their frontpage(bankroll management, psychological counselling, etc.). Don't you think that this would cause damage to the overall conversion rate of that casino? All the other casinos would make their frontpages as appealing a possible, which would boost their conversion rates and more people will signup and deposit money. The casinos won't do what you ask them to do, unless they are legally forced by the authorities. The hardcore gamblers would always choose the casinos, that offer the best bonuses and the best overall experience over the casinos, that are "socially responsible"

Yep I agree, casino is just doing its business. They want to be profitable also while attracting new gamblers. A business priority is to be profitable while being sustainable. Some gambling casino has a responsible gambling advocacy but not all. Casinos wouldn't throw their customer just because the gambler is losing. Gambling addiction can be cured with the help of others but it isn't the casino responsibility.

This is why there are addiction hotlines, gambling helps, forums and organization to help gamblers but it is only when the gambler decide for himself. It's a hard truth that it's not a casino responsibility.

What's your opinion?

You are actually raising a valid point but the question is, how many casinos and gambling platforms will be willing to do such a thing? As the matter of fact, no casino or gambling platform would want to do this thing you just said.

However, casinos and gambling platforms have made the self exclusion option available, so anyone who feels that he or she has lost too much to gambling they can just self exclude themselves from gambling on that particular casino or gambling platform.

[moneystery]

From what I've seen, reputable casinos are quite concerned about responsible gambling. They have provided various features that users can use to control their gambling and to prevent them from becoming gambling addicts. Even in countries with stricter regulations, casinos are required to implement stronger responsible gambling features. Because as providers, they have the responsibility to ensure that their platforms do not have a worse effect on their players.
But even so, users should also be aware that casinos are limited to remind them about responsible gambling. They need to be aware of using these features when they feel that their gambling has become excessive and is having a negative effect on them. Because most users don't even realize that they have become addicts, and start blaming the casino for their losses, even when features to control their gambling behavior were already available to them. That's what's wrong.

[Byebyebtc]

Well casinos actually mad available tools available for that purpose, but most gamblers refuse to use it,
One thing that casinos priorities is to protect their name in order for them to keep and bring more customer, but unfortunately some gamblers that lack self control will never want to observe the ways gambling companies have provided for them to protect their financial well-being.

 I honestly don't think casinos will willing want to stop some one from gambling by closing their account just like that, there has to be an interaction between the 2 parties before pulsing or closing will be caried out in their costumes account. And the customer has to be will to accept it, that is where the issue comes from to addicted gamblers.

What's your opinion?

Actually if a gambler becomes addicted, he will play more and more in the hope of recouping his losses. And no matter how many warnings the casino gives, they will not be of much use.

We have a saying that is "Caution is the best". If gambling can be limited to entertainment and does not go beyond one's budget, then such a safety feature is not needed. His own bankroll is enough but if someone repeatedly pushes their own limits, then no system can completely protect them.

Then what is the responsibility of the country that legalized casinos if everything is already covered by the casino themselves? It would also increase casino operating costs. If new casinos were required to implement this, they would need to rethink their business plan before starting operation.

Basic tools are probably fine for casinos to implement such as allowing gamblers to lock their accounts for a certain period, delete their account, set loss limit and set spending limit. But if psychological support is also required, casino would need to hire specialists to provide those service which would increase their operating costs.

[Nothingtodo]

There is nothing to do to understand the good and bad, mental health, financial condition, etc. of an addicted gambler. Everything that is done by that gambler has to do, especially in the first page of the gambling conditions, it is very nicely mentioned that the gambler has to bear all the risks in gambling. In this case, the gambling authorities will not be responsible in any way. And it is also said that those who are mentally ill or under the age of 18 and are not in a position to tolerate the mental stress of taking big risks in gambling should stay away from gambling completely. So how can the gambling authorities or casino authorities give a better announcement than this to their players. Whether he will voluntarily abstain from gambling or continue gambling depends solely on the player. However, I do not know if most of the casinos I have seen have any tips on the financial condition and mental punishment of such users.

[yhiaali3]

Who said that casinos should care about the mental and financial health of their players? As far as I know, casinos only care about profits and the mental and financial health of their players is the last thing on their minds, although some of them offer features like self-exclusion.

But even these casinos that offer the "self-exclusion" feature for players to prevent them from continuing to lose and hurting themselves do not adhere to these self-exclusion standards, and I have seen many problems discussed here in the forum that relate to self-exclusion.

[Hispo]

What's your opinion?

I think you have a very idealistic way to see these kind of businesses, in my opinion.
The whole idea of gambling services and also societies in which gambling is allowed and common is how people have individual freedom in order to do what they want with their money and how they are supposed to be treated as responsible adults.

This would be the equivalent of asking tobacco companies to take care of smokers and pay for medical bills related to the use of tobacco. It does not make much sense, in my opinion.

The whole idea of being legally an adult and having money is accepting the consequences on what we do with such money.
We cannot expect companies to take care of us if we don't even are able to do so.

Yeah I mean its a good point that is not often thought of by myself ill admit because its so easy to think they're just in it all for the money but the establishments that do go the extra mile for their clients does show where they stand and their true colors and whether or not they are a truly respectively run place. They set the bar for casino etiquette.

[SPIDERMAN008]

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.

It is the responsibility of a gambler to choose the right casino site. If the casino sites are just withdrawing properly or if their control over casino games is very limited, then betting can be done on that casino site. It is understandable that casino sites are scams because there are some good casino sites we can get to know . But no matter how good the casino sites are, they will never want to make a gambler responsible. And even if they want to, they will not be able to do so. How responsible a gambler will be and how much control he or she can have is a personal decision of that gambler. Casino sites will definitely not want to interfere here and make less profit themselves. A gambler will see whether the casino site has fair casino games, fast withdrawals and clear rules. In fact, no casino site will want to provide any more benefits than this. Rather, they will want to implement these benefits further and increase their user base. Scam casinos come for a short time and take user money and leave. But just as good casinos are thought to survive for a long time, a gambler should also plan in such a way that he can survive in long-term recreational betting by doing proper fund management.

The only way such measures actually become widespread and casinos actually started to pay attention on the well being of millions of people in this ecosystem, it would be if regulators decided to push guidelines on licensed/regulated casinos.
It is very unlikely the majority of casino will implement these things if they are not obliged by a higher authority.
It is a matter of making business and keeping profits high.

In order for casinos to check on the financial well-being of millions, they would need to open an entire department on their offices which would be completely tasked to do some follow-up, statistics and implementing measures which would encourage gamblers to be responsible.
It is just very unrealistic.

What's your opinion?

Essentially, every gambler should be fully aware and assume full responsibility when deciding to gamble on any site. Many casinos also advise users to gamble responsibly, and the recommended age is adulthood (usually 18 years, or older). Therefore, I believe every gambler should be aware of all risks and consequences, and everyone is responsible for their own gambling behavior.

Well, some casinos actually implement features to help users limit themselves, and I believe that is a plus for sites that offer such features. However, I don't think you can force every casino to be considerate of its users. It is similar to a fast food chain; they certainly won't be responsible for the negligence of their customers; who overspend and become ill (sorry for the harsh analogy).

[TheUltraElite]

I dont think any casino would like to show that on their front page, most show such details inside another link which is usually labelled something like "responsible gambling" or "Be Gamble Aware".

The casino is not there to help you out with your gambling addiction. Your addiction is your problem that you have to deal with, the casino never forced you to gamble, it was your choice. That is the stern way to reply to any queries arising out of this.

Self exclusion physically and mentally is needed to stop gambling related losses and eventually gambling addiction. But a lot of it is under the player's control.

The casino can warn you to gamble responsibly, but they can’t stop you from gambling. if you decide to continue going after your losses and your money finish you might get sense. Although some people will still go back and lend to still continue, thinking they will get a bigger win that will cover all the past losses, which is the biggest lie you can ever tell yourself. Although, sometime you might get a win, but it won’t cover all the past losses you have. So it’s just as you mentioned, just don’t get addicted to gambling, which the easiest way to get addicted is going after your losses.

Well I don't think the casino is willing to do anything like that, as a matter of fact they're in for business and they don't care how often you lose, they are always after what they gain. And if they decide to add a loss limit option to their database, then they might not be that profitable. One thing you should know is that their profit comes from people loses and they will never like to provide a solution or they don't care about reputation and how people will feel about them

The kind of comment that I was rooting out for, thank you, OP make it sound as if online casinos are the responsible for how gamblers must behave with their money, it's annoying reading through everything he said lol, like when will people actually start taking full accountability? This is getting very common with gamblers, if they start losing money to gambling you will be able to figure them out with what they say with their mouth, OPs experience with gambling so far is not very good one obviously.
