I am going to play the devils advocate here. I just got back from the casino and I could have/would have, if only, brought back a few thousand dollars. I CHOSE to blow it all back. Should this land based casino have stopped me from doing so? Should they have stepped in and told me NOT to play it all back? Of course not. This is called a CHOICE/DECISION>
A player makes these decisions/choices whenever and wherever they play. Do you want land based casinos watching over your, setting these limits etc etc ...that is being proposed here? Of course not. Then why are you asking online casinos to something land based would never do?
Do I regret at times not bringing home the winnings, only to go back into my pocket deeper and spending more during my visit? Sometimes., but ultimately, it is me that chose and made the decision to do this. NOT the casinos.
I do not want to ever have to be "babysat" during my play at any casino, land based or web based. Why would any of you want this? There are no limits, stops or any other thing proposed here at any land based casino so why would you expect a web based one to set these in place?
If I chose to withdraw and blow it all back, so be it...The same happens at land based casinos.. So, what is the answer? The answer is YOUR choices and decisions, no one else's. You can't blame anyone but yourself on the choices you make.
A casino is there to make a profit We all know this. You start demanding/forcing casinos to babysit you, you will be in a world of hurt down the road...when they start limiting your access/deposits/time of play etc etc because you opened the gates to this, by asking for changes due to your own inability to take responsibility and to own the decisions you made, then there again is no one but yourself to blame on these changes if implemented by casinos.
***Caveat....When the word "you" is used, it is used in reference to no one in particular, a generality...

You miss a major point here - in your example, you chose as you said to spunk the pay-out back again to the casino.
The big difference is that the casino instantly put your winnings in your hand BEFORE you chose to do this.
In this thread, the players are complaining because they don't have that opportunity, the winnings in their hand quickly before they choose what to do with them.
So you were always one step ahead of the online player.
Imagine the land casino looked at the chips you won and told you "You can't cash-in those chips you won for for 24 hours. Feel free to stay in your room for 24 hours or go home, or spend them on our games in the meantime. Otherwise call back at the cashier this time tomorrow to swap them for bills."
(Or on a Friday):
"By the way, the cashier is shut during the weekend, so come back Tuesday and swap them for bills."
