Responsible gambling in live casinos and mobile applications

Introduction

Live casinos and mobile applications allow you to bet anywhere 24/7. Without control, this leads to budget overruns and burnout. Responsible gambling (RG) in these formats requires the adaptation of classic tools: instant limits, "reality checks" in the broadcast stream and blocking access at the device level.

1. Instant rate limits

1. Deposit limit

Set a daily/weekly replenishment limit in the app.

The reduction of the limit comes into force after 24 hours, the increase - also with a pause.

2. Max-bet и Max-plays

Limit the size of one bet and the number of bets per session.

Check the operation: try to put it higher - the system must reject the operation.

3. Loss-limit

Auto-lock after net losses.

Protects against catch-up strategies.

2. Timeout and reality checks in the stream

1. Live timeout

One-button pause 5-60 min: stops the stream and bets, without canceling ahead of schedule.

2. Built-in reality checks

Pop up right in the broadcast every 15-30 minutes with data: game time, costs, results.

Require "I understand" or "Pause" before continuing.

3. Push- and in-app-notifications

Remind you of the upcoming end of the time or money limit, even if you have minimized the application.

3. Technical access blocking

1. Mobile blockers

Gamban, BetBlocker for iOS/AndroID: block applications and built-in browsers of live casinos.

2. Router and DNS filters

OpenDNS FamilyShield or Pi-hole: network prohibition of all domains of licensed operators.

3. Browser extensions

uBlock Origin with GamblingList for built-in web games in the application (Progressive Web App).

4. In-app self-diagnosis

PGSI questionnaire

Built-in 9 points, the results are immediately shown after completion, give recommendations.

Self-monitoring timer

Function "My session": fixes the time of the active screen and offers to make an entry in the diary after completion.

Diary of emotions and expenses

"Notes" field after each session: record the reason for entering, emotional state, amount.

5. Integration with national RG registries

1. BetStop Deep-link

The "Self-exclude" button leads to the registry page, after registration it blocks all applications and live platforms of licensed operators.

2. Webhook-notices

After confirming BetStop, the application receives a signal and removes you from the RG list inside the interface.

6. Social support and follow-up

Responsible person

Assign a friend who will check your status and remind you of goals through push notifications.

Follow-up messages

24 hours and 7 days after the first session, the app will send: "How do you feel after a pause?" with links to hotlines.

Conclusion

In live casinos and mobile applications, time and money control should be instant and built-in: deposit and loss limits, live timeout, reality checks, mobile and network blockers, self-diagnosis and integration with BetStop. Activating at least one feature will immediately protect the budget and keep the game fun.
