  • Users must acknowledge prominent risk warnings stating they could lose all their money
  • Gamblers must declare themselves as "restricted gamblers" and confirm they won't invest more than 10% of their net assets in high-risk bets, requiring them to specify actual percentages of past and intended future bets.
  • A mandatory knowledge assessment quiz that users must pass to start betting, with questions covering topics like betting, betting hours, bet risks, and regulatory requirements.
All these are not necessary because it really doesn't have the wherewithal to discourage or stop a chronic gambler from going addictive by spending more. What I see here is giving those gamblers with gambling problem a window of opportunity to jump the gun by having into create multiple gambling accounts with almost every online casino just to make sure they be able to gamble to their satisfaction.

On the other hand, despite being an advocate of responsible gambling, the restrictions for me goes against the right of persons to privately spend and enjoy their hard-earned money as they wish. For responsible gambling is basically not just about knowledge but self discipline because I have seen a lot of gamblers with good knowledge of the negative sides of gamble but still goes on gambling recklessly due to a lack of a locus of self discipline
