This is the good initiative when a person wants to completely stay away from gambling. A common reason is that they may not be able to control themselves. They know that if they somehow get into gambling again, they can end up in big losses again. That is why taking precautions beforehand will be a good decision for them. If a gambler can stay away themselves from gambling, it should be easier for them to exercise self-control. It is entirely depend on gambler's personal view what they feel is best.

This is usually the feeling a gambler gets when they disregard the rules and lose excessively. But if they had been able to manage their gambling in a controlled manner from the beginning, there would have been no need to take such a decision.
