I think it's an interesting question among the many games and advertisements we have today 

There are always people who are more vulnerable than others so I would say yes, if you have experience with gambling addiction and you see great bonuses for casinos or sportsbetting in TV, the probability is higher that you start betting/playing again.

That's an interesting question! Well, I think there's a possibility especially after they've gotten professional help. Gambling addiction is a serious thing, but these people should be given another chance

The triggers are different per person and affinity, but addiction remains an addiction and thus accompanies you throughout your life. Learning to deal with it on a moderate and middle level seems to me the best for the casual gamer, or really making the cut with compulsive high rollers and learning or appreciating the quality of life that returns when you give up playing.

Die Trigger sind Pro Person und Affinit?t anders, allerdings bleibt Sucht ein Sucht und begleitet einen somit das ganze Leben. Lernen damit umzugehen, auf einem Ma? und Mitte-Level scheint mir das beste für den Casual Gamer, bzw. bei zwanghaften Highrollern wirklich den Cut machen und lernen bzw. sch?tzen, welche Lebensqualit?t mit aufgeben des Spielens zurückkehrt.

My brother was a gambling addict and advertisement sometimes really trigger him. He wanted to play pc games instead but in NBA2020 it was the gambling section once again. Too many triggers in modern life.

And I personally like to get lottery tickets and check out how lucky I am. I usually buy toto online because it's the fastest way to get them. Honestly, I think that TV advertisements about lotteries really trigger me to buy them and I don't really know how to fix that problem.

Wow? ?? Are there really possibilities to gamble in PC game like NBA? Never heard about it. I've only heard about different skins in Counter Strike (different looks for weapons etc.) that you can buy for real money and then there are websites where you can gamble with them.

It's a big deal, because there are even children gambling with it!

I think gambling addiction is similar to alcohol addiction. After successful therapy, both can start again. The alcoholic is back to health. The gambling addict will have a debt plan. But the addiction remains in the mind. And can be triggered at any moment. Until the end of life. Society should support them and not pigeonhole them with the label "once addicted, always addicted.

Ich denke mit der Spielsucht verh?lt es sich ?hnlich wie mit der Alkoholsucht. Nach erfolgreicher Therapie k?nnen beide wieder durchstarten . Der Alkoholiker hat seine Gesundheit wieder. Der Spielsüchtige wird einen Schuldenplan haben. Aber in den K?pfen bleibt die Sucht. Und kann jeden Moment getriggert werden. Bis ans Lebensende. Die Gesellschaft sollte sie unterstützen und nicht in eine Schublade stecken mit den Label "einmal süchtig, immer süchtig.

That's why we work on a global self-exlusion tool that would allow to be banned from ALL casinos in the world. The problem is that you can self-exclude from any casino, but nothing stops you from registering in another one.

In addition to the self-exclusion option, Germany now also has the Oasis spear list. Every casino has to enter the player data there. If you are banned there you can no longer play games of chance. Not even the lottery. Whether the whole thing will be shown. The EU is quite critical of this. The whole world? Who is monitoring or taking responsibility?

Neben der Selbstausschluss Option hat Deutschland jetzt auch die Oasis Speerliste. Jedes Casino muss die Spieler Daten dort eintragen. Wenn man da gesperrt ist kann man kein Glücksspiel mehr spielen. Nicht mal Lotto. Ob das ganze was bringt wird sich zeigen. Die EU sieht das ziemlich kritisch. Das ganze weltweit? Wer überwacht das oder übernimmt Verantwortung?

I believe we have the biggest online casino database in the world so we could be to ones who will monitor the new ones and try to make sure they're included on the global self-exclusion list.

Just ask on Reddit. At the end of the week you have your list and by the way, Reddit has taken over the whole online casino business ??

Frag doch mal auf Reddit. Bei Ende der Woche hast du deine Liste und nebenbei hat Reddit dann das ganze Online Casino Business übernommen ??

Reddit? Interesting, I never used it for anything related to gambling.

Reddit has groups for whatever, whatever. Do you remember the Game Stop thing in January? To save Gamestop, a small Reddit group created a 4 trillion hedge fund. By the end of the week, Gamestop's value increased tenfold and the hedge fund was crying. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/gamestop-reddit-wall-street-stock-b1792929.html%3famp

Auf Reddit gibt es Gruppen für was.auch immer. Erinnerst du dich noch an die Game Stop Sache im Januar? Um Gamestop zu retten hat eine kleine Reddit Gruppe sich mit einen 4 Billionen schweren Hedgefond angelegt. Am Ende der Woche hat sich Gamestop Wert verzehnfacht und der Hedgefond hat geweint. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/gamestop-reddit-wall-street-stock-b1792929.html%3famp

That's why we work on a global self-exlusion tool that would allow to be banned from ALL casinos in the world. 

That sounds amazing Daniel, a global self-exclusion tool. I myself is struggling with addiction , and that would make it so much easier when the urge comes. I have paid for stuff like Gamban on the phone, that can't be uninstalled.... Well, I found out how to uninstall it, and signed up on casinos I haven't been excluded on etc. (And there goes this month money to live for!)

If you ever need someone to do tests, or any help in any way, please let me know.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. It's gonna be a tough process, but we believe that we'll manage to create the tool one day. It's not just about developing such a tool, but it's more about getting support from the gambling authorities.

Yes! Same here! I think it is possible especially that they have already received professional help. I have read personal stories about gambling addiction from my friends in Gamdom and I am quite proud of how they were able to escape that dark hole.

Well, I guess it's part of the process. Society wont change, especially in a place where gambling is a really big part of our ''culture''. If you're in therapy, this is something professionals should be helping you with.

Have you noticed the Global Self-Exclusion initiative we started, I wonder?

One of our goals is to create the possibility of self-exclusion from all casinos at one. I think it's a very interesting and ambitious vision.

There's even more. ??
