In 2008, I set up a poll to measure attitudes to reverse Withdrawal. A lot has happened since then and a few threads recently have dealt with the subject so I am doing a new one to see if there is any shift in attitude or indeed even if it is a major factor.
I'm not good with it myself as I have always been drawn in to anything I like (especially chocolate...mmmm!) but at least these days I recognise my weaknesses better and one of those preventative measures is to avoid casinos that allow reversing. I know I bang on about it but actually think that any operator who truly regards themselves as "responsible" will allow any player to request it's removal.
In fact I am surprised that Alderney, Isle Of Man and other jurisdictions don't write this as a condition into licensing. I think if they really understood addiction they probably would but I (somewhat cynically?) suspect there is a compromise - or at least a very grey line - between business and social responsibility in some places.
Edited To Add: I realise Americans have no choice but you are allowed to vote as you would if you had a choice - the poll is all about attitudes
