"Gambling addiction is a big issue in the world of online gaming. Because gambling is available almost everywhere and at all times, many players are unable to keep their gambling healthy.

Responsible gambling is an initiative started by online gambling providers, regulators and other entities that control gambling activities. Its purpose is to provide players with all the necessary tools to control the gambling they play through the application of various types of limits, self-exclusion options and other tools that enable them to gamble responsibly and safely.

Every online casino offers responsible gambling tools that only apply to that particular casino.

Country-Based Betting Options - Some countries have implemented a national database aimed at restricting access to all types of licensed gambling providers.

Responsible betting is not limited to tools that players can use to control the gambling they play. These basic principles also focus on maintaining justice in gambling, protecting players, preventing illegal practices, etc.

Responsible betting options offered by casinos

To help gamblers gamble responsibly and comply with the rules, online casinos generally offer many responsible gambling options that you can use if you feel out of control. In most cases, these options are offered by the casino on an individual basis. In other words, the responsible gambling options you choose at a casino will only apply to that particular casino. This limits their effectiveness because, for example, you can avoid the deposit limit you set at one casino by playing at another casino. But there is an exception. Some casino groups offer group-level betting options. This means that if you choose to opt out of a group owned casino, you will not be allowed to play in any of the group casinos. Each group operates differently, so this rule does not necessarily apply to everyone.

The tools / practices are usually the following:

Self-exclusion
Deposit limits
Losses of loss
Betting limits
Session duration limits
Bet size limits
Reality checks
Promotional communications
Closing Account

Self-exclusion
If you want to stop playing altogether for a certain period of time, most casinos allow you to exclude yourself from gambling. If you decide to use this feature, you will not be able to play for a selected period of time.

The time periods available generally vary from casino to casino, but the most common are:

12 hours
1 day
1 week
1 month
6 month

To exclude yourself, find the "responsible gambling" section in the online casino, find the option of self-exclusion, select the desired time period and activate it. If the casino is functioning properly, you will not be able to play during the self-exclusion period, even if you contact customer support and ask them to let you play.

In addition, casinos must stop sending promotional information to players during the self-exclusion period. We are not sure if all casinos do, however, but we believe that sending promotional material to self-excluded players is unethical and should not be done.

Note: Some larger casinos and betting sites that offer a wider range of products (casino games, poker, sports betting, etc.) sometimes offer separate self-exclusion options for each section. This means that you could possibly exclude yourself from casino games, but still be able to play poker against other players. Of course, the possibility of complete self-exclusion is also available.

What happens during or after the self-exclusion period may vary from casino to casino. Some casinos do not allow you to gamble during the self-exclusion period, while others allow you to cancel the self-exclusion after a period of relaxation.

We have also identified some casinos that allow players to cancel self-exclusion without any relaxation period, but this practice is immoral and contrary to the very concept of self-exclusion. We strongly oppose this practice and hope that in the future all casinos will apply the method of self-exclusion correctly.

Note: The relaxation period is a specific period of time that the player must wait after canceling the self-exclusion and before being able to play again. For longer periods of self-exclusion the relaxation period can last up to a week, which gives players enough time to reconsider whether they want to start playing again or not.

Deposit limits

If you do not want to completely restrict your access to gambling, you can set a deposit limit that helps you control how much you spend, allowing you to deposit only a certain amount of money during a selected period of time.

Again, the time periods available will vary depending on your casino choice. You can usually choose from the following:

1 day
1 week
1 month

The way these time periods are calculated can also vary from casino to casino. What is different is the level of detail. Some casinos use calendar days, which means that for example a daily deposit limit is valid from midnight to midnight. Other casinos apply daily limits for consecutive 24 hour periods.

When you want to set a deposit limit, the limit applies immediately. The same thing happens when you want to lower it. However, if you want to increase your limit so that you can deposit more than before, the change usually does not take effect immediately. Some casinos apply this change after 24 hours, while others do so after 7 days. Each casino has its own procedures, but to comply with best betting practices, these limits should not be increased or canceled immediately.

A good article seems to be about something else analogous that we read, in general some things it says help, setting a bet and deposit limit is mainly a security, especially if we are talking about casino and pure gambling, you know that in the end the rake always wins.


I have a rule from the beginning that I was involved in betting if I lose my money on a site, I always make a very small deposit and play a little until I see that I do not lose anymore or increase it again ... I have never had a problem like that.

But it has happened to me more than 10 times and I can not say it will not happen again, while everything goes well to have a series of wrong choices and misfortune, with nerves to raise bets, to take risks to get them back immediately, resulting in losing everything the rest .... excellent way of protection I have not found beyond frequent withdrawals, and never large deposits.

    Fenerbahce wanted to postpone the April 7 derby with Galatasaray for the Turkish Super Cup at the mercy of...Olympiakos, but its specific request was not accepted by the country's football federation.
  • PANATHA PANATHA:
    The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) informed both clubs that
    this has to do with there being no alternative date due to the teams' busy schedule.
  • Ertzan Ertzan:
    I was going to write it in the morning but it didn't come from the mobile phone. The non-religious, as was normal, said that they would not accept the postponement of the match. Our team applied for a postponement and from what I read, they said that the match should be held at the end of the championship, but the Federation, which has poured itself on it and still has to make the decision on the "penalties", did not accept it.
  • Ertzan Ertzan:
    Fenerbahce is the team that collected the most points in Europe but they don't see it that way that's okay but god is great

    A few days before the Fenerbahce meeting, the meeting that Hugh Dallas had with the referees and the talks about the Galatasara-Antalyaspor match came to the fore, where the VAR referee admits that he made a mistake in the penalty that the Galatasaray player took, where in fact he said that the player "dive" in the small contact he had that was not for a penalty. Our President also spoke about this phase where he said what was happening and the Federation found him a liar, nice things
