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.
