Casinos, players don't only serve for profits.

[Hardyrobust]

It is not a bad idea if a casino should put into consideration the well being of there customers by providing responsible gambling tools, however gamblers should know that they are responsible for their own decision.
Some of the features you made mention of like loss limits can help gamblers that are lossing control of their gambling habits .
As of casino making this features visible , may not be possible , unless there is a law mandating them to do so. Don't forget that casino are there to make profit and promoting responsible gambling may conflict with their objectives.
I believe the best thing here is for casino to still put the warfare of their customers into consideration while still making profits. Gamblers should know that they are responsible for their actions and should always gamble with what they can afford to lose. Gambling should be seen as an entertainment rather than a source of income to avoid being disappointed.

One thing I'll say is that addicted gamblers won't care much about the amount of money they lose. Why? Because their expectation of winning is so high, they're unlikely to stop after a big loss. Most of them try to get revenge and believe in their own illusion that a big win is inevitable. This is why addicted gamblers find it difficult to stop.

Honestly, I think a casino will have a good reputation among gamblers when all its systems are fair, payouts are proven, and there are no issues with withdrawals or deposits. Self-exclusion is the gambler's responsibility.

[Rabata]

As a gambler who is gambling on a regular basis should be able to know their limits and capacity where they should reach before quitting or exits that moment than have to put their entire hope in gambling most times they could have the wrong mindset towards gambling. We know that there are people who are so lucky enough where if they gambles one it would probably favor them quickly and those who doesn't know about their luck could say that since X wins they must also strive to make winning without them knowing that things doesn't work that way.

Betting responsibly, it is very important to set a budget limit and bet within that fixed budget. If the budget is less according to income, then a gambler can bet frequently with a small amount for long-time betting. This will keep him in long-time gambling. But one good thing about this is that he did not bet outside the limit. He did not have to suffer major losses. And if you control yourself and bet in this way, the possibility of addiction also decreases a lot. And it is natural  to create greed in yourself after seeing the profit of others because when someone makes a profit, they spread it widely. The one who makes a profit also tells people about it. As a result, the desire to get that kind of profit arises in those who know about it. But it should also be understood that not everyone has the same luck. One thing I have noticed is that when someone loses money while betting, it is not discussed much. If this were discussed too, people would be more aware and bet responsibly.

That's not entirely true... I myself suffered from gambling addiction in my youth. I can try to describe my feelings...

I suffered greatly from my losses and knew I would never be able to win them back. But I simply couldn't stop playing! I'd go to the casino (it was a brick-and-mortar casino) like a zombie and start playing. I knew I was going to lose that day, but I couldn't stop playing. It was like witchcraft. As if someone had bewitched me.

As far as I understand, from a biochemical perspective, it's a total change in brain function. The brain stops thinking logically and correctly constructing cause-and-effect relationships. It's similar to hypnosis.🤷

They dont really care i would say or lets just talk the realistic things on here considering casinos wanting for more addicted gamblers rather than on trying out to save and telling them about preventing addiction or any limitations that being set out. If ever you do see those warnings then it would be just that turning out to be complementary or just for some regulation purposes to run their business or operation but in overall essence on which owners wouldnt really care about their gamblers and they would wanted for them to suck out every penny into those people who do play into the platform and thats the reality of this business. It would be that so hard that to believe that they would just that having that kind of approach and wouldnt be wanting for profits. its business and its understandable on where they would be focusing on where they are taking advantage on.

Well, I don't think all casinos want their players to be addicts. They want consistent players, yes, loyal players. An addicted player or players will eventually leave, either because they'll be in treatment or because the activity becomes harmful to them; they'll try to avoid it. Meanwhile, a regular player can play with little money, then with a lot; they won't be addicted, but they'll stay there.

Of course, casinos need cash flow, just like any business, and players bring in the money, so that's the foundation of everything. And casinos must be motivated to do everything they can to keep players coming back, otherwise, they'll leave for other casinos. And of course, when players play slowly and leisurely, bringing in new income from their wages, over a few years, such players will lose a lot of money. While there will be exceptions, of course, in the form of winning players, they'll be very few in number.

What's your opinion?

You're not forced to gamble by casinos. It's your choice to play on their platform and you give consent that you're above 18 years or as the case maybe. It's your responsibility to gamble responsibly. Casinos should not blamed for your inability to control yourself. Casinos are trying their best to control people from getting addicted by introducing some new features like self exclusion for how long you wish to take break.

You sound like you own a casino and from that divide, all seems good and casinos are saints. What is the worth of self exclusion when one is already milked?

You can set other limits too and even session time out that log you out after a certain time you set. Although it depends on the platform you're playing but most casinos now offer these features. By the way, you should know casinos are running a business and you shouldn't expect them to do everything to keep them out of business.

That is the word, they are a business, but we know businesses often close when they can no longer hold things together, but it is one of the rarest things to see a casino close on account of not making profit. And why are there so many of them around?

[Franklyn-wood]

My God, an idea from the Aldous Huxley series, Utopia and nothing else. Buddy, the casino doesn't owe anyone anything in terms of psychology. If a person is unwell and does not know how to manage their finances and emotions, the casino should not require a certificate from a psychotherapist. Gambling is a business, and casinos are primarily interested in their profits. The clients' profit is a part of the program from the profits in their own business. So stop making things up or fantasizing about what's better and what should be. If a casino is causing a problem for someone, then it's not a problem for the casino itself.

Waooo this is really the truth and nothing but the truth. The casino is not different from the other businesses we operate individually.
It is there aim to make money as well as the gambler wants to make money from the casino used, same goal, expectations they all have.
Don't let anyone make it look like you have anything to gain from the casino sites because thsts there business and aims at making profit which is the reason for every business.

[gracreavix]

Casinos should truly enforce limits. The small problem with this is that it will dull revenue for a while. Addicted players won't spend as much when those limits are enforced. So casinos will likely face shorter profit period. The main thing here is both sides are to be happy. What casinos can do if they don't want to enforce it, is that they should give players the option to do themselves. Another thing I want to point out is that Casinos should treat their customers faily. In a long run, they will have more loyal customers than passer by.

Addicted gamblers are always having the hope that they going to win back their loss, that’s why most of them don’t even give up after losing some amount of money. The more addicted gamblers are losing, the more they fighting to win back their loss, and if you trying to win back your loss when gambling, there is high chances that you are just going to end up losing more money.

I just wish people are going to stop gambling because of money, because I notice that most people that are gambling because of money are likely going to end up getting addicted to gambling. If you want to gamble, then do it for relaxation purpose, and gamble with little amount you can afford to lose, don’t think you can make money from gambling.

There is no way you can stop an addicted gambler from gambling with their money. If there is so much restrictions carried out by the casino team of the gambling platform they are using, this can make them to create multiple accounts on different casinos so that they can satisfy their curiosity to make money from each of the casino they are using.

[knowngunman]

I don't own a casino nor working for one. But let's not pretend the players are right and the casinos should be blamed blindly. Both parties have their part to play in responsible gambling.

Self exclusion is meant to protect potential addict and prevent excess lose beyond your limit. If you have been milked already, self exclusion can still prevent further loses but won't bring back your money. So it's still useful whether you're just getting started or already into it.

I'm not blaming the players or applauding casinos but blaming only casinos is unfair.

[Cantsay]

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?

It is business; the casino would never use its resources to start organising something that would make their customers be aware that they are losing money and reduce the amount that they are spending on the casino.

If it is possible those platforms would appreciate it more if they have a way to increase the way people get addicted to gambling and spend even more money on their site.

Nah. I don't think promoting responsible gambling can conflict with casino objectives. Yeah casino wants to make profit but if they provide responsible gambling tool for the players it can make the player to gamble within limits and remain a consistent customer to them for years to come. But without this gambling tools gambler can become reckless in the way they gamble which can lead them to  losing everything then go and borrow and still loose all and in frustration that gambler can quit gambling and the casino loose their customer. And loosing their customer sure as hell don't benefit the casino

We should get this, responsible gambling tool cannot force person to stop gambling. It will just give person the option to be able to set boundaries and stay in control. So let us not get it wrong because casino can still make profit and still promote healthy gambling habit for its players.

We have some casino that have actually implemented the anti addiction mechanisms just like self exclusion is one of such attempts to protect their players from gambling too much.


But the truth remains that, casino is operated to make profits and the more the player spend time and money on the casino, the more revenue their generate for their business so them helping players to walk out won't be so motivating for them to do.

[Orpichukwu]

The casino can't act as a nanny for everyone who gambles, if they are not ready to take care of themselves then what is the point of choosing to gamble? We can say whatever we want but there is only so much that can be done in reality not everything that comes to our mind.

Or if you insistt that they should, then start a casino and offer nanny care service along with making profits and then people lineup to play in your casino for sure.

Inasmuch as people need to take responsibility for their actions, some casinos also need to extend a hand in trying to implement some players' protection policy, not in the way the op describes it, but at least in a way that they could see it. Aside from that, some players are not mentally fit for gambling activities, and they should not be allowed to gamble if gambling were to be something one passes some brain test before going into it.

People like OP and people who open these kind of threads here and on other gambling communities do not seem to be aware of what casinos and bookies are actually about, or at least that is the impression I have got from them.
Casinos are in deed a business and they see us all as investments, they routinely spend hundred of thousands of dollars in strategies which would guarantee them more people to deposit their money on their wallets and gamble that money away.

They are not a charity and they are not here in this business in order to do social work, as long as they are operating legally and with a license they will continue to do as much as possible to maximize their profits, just as any other business on the planet.

What's your opinion?

Surely your idea is an innovative one but the truth is that which casino is ready to do that? As far as I am concerned casino is fast rising by the day, and they are after making profit and non of them give a fuck about how you lose, all they are after is what they can benefit from it. Gambling is a 50/50 chance game, it's slogan should be "kill or get killed" which is either you win or lose. And every gamblers mind is to win the house and the house plan is to win you, now how can the house be pitiful of your loses when they know that your one time win my close the house depending on the amount you won. They are Also afraid of you as you are afraid of them.

[fruktik]

You do not have to forget that casinos are businesses not charities. If they really care about the mental health of the people who gamble there money then why they spend millions of dollars on ads and bonuses and even they make  psychological tricks to keep people playing. No doubt a person who loses everything there are some chances that he/she never came back  but hundreds of new players joins those platforms daily. Bank roll management tools are important but expecting from casinos that they care about people before profit does not make any sense because their business only run when people consistently doing gamble not like when they stop.

Indeed, I can't recall a single case where a casino provided psychological support to players. Casino owners are perfectly happy to use this opportunity to their advantage.

Providing such assistance may prevent a person from ever returning to gambling. This is certainly not in the casino's interests. Therefore, this is just another fiction and illusion, which, in my opinion, has no basis. It will certainly ruin the business.
