Hello, I have been betting for a long time, and a few months ago I realized that I have problems to stop doing it.
I decided that the best way to stop was to request self-exclusion from the sites I was betting on.
I got to self-exclude myself from primedice, the problem is that after a while, I relapsed and wanted to bet again, and primedice let me create a new account, and bet again. this time, i lost 21600 xrp and a bit of some other coins
This post is not to recover my coins, (although I would like that), but to see the possibility that the sites begin to block not only the accounts, but also the IPs from which those accounts were connected.
Greetings to everybody and thanks
I think each gambling website has their own policies when it comes with self-exclusion to their players that have gambling problems. Regarding Primedice, I believe they don't really ban the IP adress of the players, but only bans their current account and prohibit them from making a new account. However, the latter would all be depending on self-discipline of the player.
No matter how hard the casinos and gambling website strictly impose and strengthen their system regarding self-exclusion, if the player is addicted so much and don't help themselves, they'll just end up bypassing the system with their own ways. Rehabilitation and counselling are a must if someone wants to be healed from their gambling addiction.
Apart from self-exclusion, a player with gambling problem must address the issue from within to make it possible and effective for long-term.
