I have thought of an interesting concept which can help you out to control your gambling losses and most importantly to secure your winnings in a more sensible manner.
As poker player (with decent tournament record), crypto trader and occasional dice and slot gambler for almost 5 years I can assure you that single most important thing which can help you out in the long run is bankroll management. Although BRM is a combination of different skills but keeping your calm during loses by quitting for sometime is most important skill to master as it gives you time to reflect upon what you are doing wrong which led you to become more mature player.
It is easy to loose your mind and play outside of your bank roll in the heat of the moment. To prevent this up to some extent I propose a limited gambling escrow fund held by prestigious members of this wonderful forum.
How this will work ?
So suppose you have won a big tourney in poker or concluded a big profit trade, or accidentally (I use this word knowingly) won jackpot in slots/dice. Now what you need to do is to transfer your majority of winnings to the escrow immediately (and keep your self your normal playing bankroll). Now the escrow will have to release a certain amount of fund from your deposit to you on weekly or monthly bases. This will help you to remain under your bank roll greatly because after you loose your normal bankroll you have to wait for your next payment which will take some days. By doing this you have more time to introspect which is always good.
I urge learned members of this wonderful forum to ponder upon this and give some suggestions to improve this.

If you are badly addicted to gambling, even your "escrow" who will be holding your money for a limited time won't be able to help you.
I bet the gambler will eventually break the terms and force the escrow to return the money. They will start making excuses that they need the money for some other "purposes".
If you think you have addiction problem, don't go to an escrow, go to a real person who can help you with your addiction.

I think so because when he can win much money, he will not send all of the win money to the escrow, but only send some amount and telling that escrow that he only win that money Grin

It's easy to say that while we are not in the "face to face" with the escrow because we will feel that is our win money, all of the amounts, so why we should send that money to the escrow and let them manage the funds Grin
