The Casino Guru Forum poll results indeed spotlight a growing concern within the online gambling community regarding the use—or lack—of responsible gambling tools.
📊 Poll Results Breakdown
Here’s how players responded when asked about their favorite responsible gambling tools:
| Tool | Votes |
|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | 328 |
| Session Limit | 127 |
| Loss Limit | 115 |
| Self-Exclusion | 109 |
| None, I do not use them at all | 367 🛑 |
🔍 Insight: The highest number of respondents—367 users (approx. 33%)—said they do not use any responsible gambling tools at all.
🚨 Why This Matters
While it’s encouraging to see that many users are utilizing deposit, session, and loss limits, the most selected option being “None” highlights a serious gap in adoption of essential protective measures.
🗣️ Daniel Dolejsi, Casino Guru Community Manager:
“These results highlight a critical need for increased awareness and education about responsible gambling tools.”
He emphasizes the platform’s ongoing mission to educate and protect players.
🧠 What Are Responsible Gambling Tools?
These tools are designed to help players stay in control of their gambling behavior and avoid problem gambling:
-
Deposit Limits: Cap how much money can be added to your account.
-
Loss Limits: Prevents players from losing more than they can afford.
-
Session Limits: Limits how long a player can be logged in or actively gambling.
-
Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently blocks access to gambling services.
-
Reality Checks & Time Alerts: Notifications reminding players of time spent.
📉 The Issue: Lack of Usage
Many players either underestimate the need for such tools or are unaware of their availability and benefits. This puts them at greater risk of:
-
Chasing losses
-
Overspending
-
Gambling addiction
-
Emotional and financial stress
