I'm wondering if there are any statistics on how many users actually use features like time alert and self-exception. I think that users who can control themselves don't need such features. Addicted players, on the other hand, are likely to ignore such features and look for any workaround just to keep playing the slots some more.
It seems that there will be no statistics on how many users use the feature to play more responsibly, because as active gamblers, on average they already know what the risks are and most only register and create an account and make a deposit.
I myself rarely use the feature to adjust to gambling, I only realize that if a gambling platform that I want to create an account for, I will read one condition, namely about KYC or the absence of KYC on the gambling site.
Of course you are right, if gamblers are addicted, they will continue to gamble, even they continue to make deposits. Maybe what is considered is the weekly bonus feature, deposit bonus and daily bonus, the rest of the gamblers have been able to adjust themselves to the risk of losing to play responsibly.
