Mods: Please don't move this to the blackhole that is technical Queries, at least not for a while.

Does anyone else agree with me that the "Stop Betting" option is too wide? At the moment, if you wish to stop, you have to exclude youself from all Sky sites.

I think that there should be the option to exclude yourself from each site (Vegas, Poker, Bet and Bingo) individually.

    have a bit of self control, if you have a adge at poker why on earth would you go and play a house game where in the long run you will lose, i played the wheel of death and many other house games for years but once i found poker i would never play a house game again, if i play live at my local casino i play poker and thats it.

    Lol just control your urge and simply do not play on Sky Vegas.... should the Government ban people from Cliff edge's incase they feel the sudden urge to throw themselves off? ;0

    I concur, I am a man with a lot of self control however I am always tempted by the spinning colours on roulette and blow all my cash there, equally I would like to exclude myself from poker cash tables, until I can actually play poker.

    I don't see sny resson why anyone would vote against this fscility. Its only there as an option, it doesnt have to be used.

    Its the same with the auto re-load debate. Someone started a poll on that and people voted against it? Why? Its there if u want to use it, if you don't - Turn it off!! - Dnt vote against it and reduce the chances of it being brought in. Show support for it or don't vote at all.

    hi there guys,

    this point has been raised before in the forum.

    at Sky we have our very own Mr. Social Responsibility (aka Sky Andrew). His job is to basically make sure we are keeping up our high levels/commitment to responsible gambling.

    i have forward similar threads over to him but i'll definitely send this one over as well.

    (i'll see if i can get Andrew to post on the subject)


    cheers guys,

    Yep, as Rich has said, this has been raised before and we are working on it as part of the ongoing development of the controls we have to let you restrict/limit what you spend your time and money playing on. I wish i could be more specific as to when we will get go live but its actually more complex than it might seem on the surface. 

    I'll try and drop in with an update as soon as i have something more concrete.

    Cheers
    Andrew
