Gambling is a means of entertainment that can either bring you good fortune or dilemma. It can give you benefits or consequences depending on how you will use it. To some, it brings them satisfaction and relaxation by playing and betting. While to others, it serves as an income generator by engaging in different activities such as referral, campaigns, and sponsorship. Since time immemorial, gambling has a negative connotation which is mainly due to the widespread news of repercussions experience of those who abused it. Everything that is too much is harmful after all.

Here are some key factors that I believe are often overlooked when someone plans to enter the gambling industry and even those existing players often neglect:

1. Setting Limitations
Gambling isn't totally harmful as long as you are doing things in moderation. Things done responsibly won't take a wrong turn in a snap as long as you are doing what you have to do. Setting limitations is one of those things that you have to prepare and do in order for you to not get lost in gambling. You have to make a budget limitation before you gamble and once you gamble, you must stick with it no matter what the result may be. It's important for you to stand on your ground in your set predefined limitations. This is to prevent you from excessive expenditures and time allotment in gambling which most people do not do because they feel like it isn't important. But it can actually make a whole lot difference.

2. Understanding the Rules, Regulations, Policies, and Conditions
Aside from setting boundaries, you must understand, not only be aware of the existing rules and policies of the casino you want to play or are playing into. It will be essential on your end to know what are the do's and the don'ts, so that you won't be surprised of the notifications on your account such as being flagged as abuse or having unusual activities that may lead to account suspension or permanent banning. The role of being knowledgeable in making right and informed decisions will impact the odds of you encountering less problems in the future. Understanding the probabilities come together with knowing the game mechanics and rules to improve your chances of winning.

3. Financial Management
Wisely managing your funds will make a huge impact on your gambling journey. It can dictate whether you will be bankrupt, have pile of debts, or go on with your life comfortably or even more comfortable depending on how you will make choices. Being a responsible gambler means handling your finances in a smart manner because responsible gambling has a deep connection and relation with how you spend your funds. You must strategize on how you will make your money grow if your main goal is to profit. It isn't enough that you have a goal. You should have an organized and strategic plan to achieve your aim. Additionally, you must know how to prevent yourself from being subjected to financial pitfalls such as loans and credit just to gamble. Maintaining control is your top priority. You should know that is a vital move to separate your gambling fund to your personal and necessary expenses.

4. Utilizing Self-exclusion Programs by Casinos
A lot of people still don't know the existence of this feature in a casino. If you know you have some tendencies to fall short because you have wavering discipline, then you must search on this because it can help you a lot. Self-exclusion is made for players who have high addiction tendency. It is also intended for those people who are still recovering from addiction or dependency. The main takeaway in this is to be excluded from promotions, offers, notifications, as well as access over a casino. This way, you can prevent yourself from being drawn into betting and playing excessively. When you feel like it is necessary for you to stop gambling for a while, you may opt to utilize this tool. It can possibly help you prevent falling completely into addiction or to help you recover from it.

5. Gambling Community as Support
When things go tough, some people become shy to ask for help and to seek for suggestions. But the more that you are hesitating to reach out, the more that you have to do it. Gambling community such as this forum can help you in various ways. You can always ask in different threads, share your story, and seek for possible choices and things to do. Getting support from fellow players can help ease your burden. Some people may encourage you or discourage you from doing something which can widen your perspective on how you will view your present circumstance.

Responsible gambling practices start from within and can be established with the help of other people too. One must be mindful of everything that he wants to do in order to gain a good experience in gambling. Let's be reminded that there is a good approach and balance in doing things that we want without compromising the future.

It is good that you included 4 and 5 which are 'utilizing Self-exclusion programs by casinos and gambling community as support respectively'. But people that wanted to go for that means are not gambling responsibly no more but looking for ways to become not addicted gamblers again. Also in reality, most addicted gamblers will not go for such options. I see the first and the third which are 'setting limitations and financial management' to be more valid. Understanding the rules, regulations, policies, and conditions is good, for not to violate one of the gambling site rules but not related to responsible gambling.

I think that #5 isn't that helpful and this highlights why addicted people should be better off contacting and talking with experts and designated groups.
Countries and communities that fail to provide these amenities actually do a lot of harm to people in need that could be well functioning individuals if they were given the support they need.

For instance, an addicted person will have many triggers and could easily fall back to his addiction. So it's better sometimes to avoid communities relevant to the addiction all together. If a person recovering from addiction could find a community where other people in recovery have guided discussions it would be nice. For instance for alcohol there is A A meetings where people can speak to each other attended by an expert. If the discussion strays too far away from being productive the expert in place can steer them back into a good path. Etc. most countries have government organizations and/or non-profits that offer the same service. Good to seek those out.

Of course the factors you mentioned are all the five things above, of course I don't deny that we all know these factors and are common, but I have applied some of these points, such as points [1] and [2], but the risk of loss still occurs.

My understanding is that in the world of gambling there are two methods that often conflict, such as (theory and practice) these two factors don't work properly, as you said above, for me it's all theory, However, practices in the field are far beyond control, which means that most gamblers cannot be held responsible for the losses they face in the gambling arena.

I often do this gambling practice consistently, which is why I still gamble responsibly to this day, not really thinking that winning is my main target when gambling, always remaining in a healthy mindset that gambling is just entertainment and a place to have fun. I'm happy, I'm sure the practice of gambling can be done by anyone out there because gambling is not a place to seek wealth, let alone a place that provides a steady income. that is clearly impossible.

It is indeed important to limit the budget because we can control ourselves well, not only the budget, we can also limit the time we play gambling so that it becomes an alarm when we have been gambling for too long and need to just take a break from gambling. Another thing is to use a budget. which is not too much in gambling, for example not more than 5% of your income, at least make it money that is ready to be lost so that there is no need to try to recover losses if you lose the budget that has been set, always remember that this limit should be an alarm for us to stop gambling.  ;)

Community support is for them to share how they tried hard to quit the vice.
It only takes one alcoholic friend who will have his birthday party the next day to tempt an alcoholic and all the efforts he made to try quitting will be a waste.  Same as a gambling addict, it only needs one free spin. But no one else can help a fellow addict but the community who were once addicts.

Although practices had been elaborated already due to threads like this one, it's never an easy thing to do. Setting Limitations is a hard thing to do when you are in the gambler's shoes.

Setting limits is an important thing for gamblers to be able to manage their gambling to run more safely for them. By setting a limit, it will allow gamblers to measure their ability to gamble and limit themselves to being able to gamble more than they can gamble, and it will also allow them to be able to gamble without neglecting their other needs.

setting limits and remaining disciplined towards them will also help gamblers to practice adhering to the limits they have set and that will help them to be able to gamble with a lower risk of addiction.

The reason why most gamblers ignore those safe practices is because they only bend their mindset toward multiplying their stake. Gambling may be an activity that depends mostly on luck, but if those safe practices are being emulated, it can help the gambler limit the possibility of becoming addicted. There are some people who never had the intention of gambling for a long time, but because they ignored the right approach to gambling, they just got lost in the middle and began to gamble against their initial decision.

That is a really good topic
One interesting thing to talk about too is that gambling shouldn’t probably be approached as a professional activity for most people, much better to see it like a way to have fun or a hobbie and spend only a small percentage of your money on it

It takes time, practice and a clear set of goals to avoid falling for some of the traps

Yes, we may not make gambling as our main job for various reasons, especially not wanting to take a high risks on gambling or to become professional gambler as their carreer. However, for someone who starting to play as entertainment, sometime turn them as addicted gambler. This is happens because, they are, underestimate gambling as entertainment and forget about discipline in playing, such as targets and limits. This is not an easy thing to do when someone is caught up in gambling activities. It's true, practice is the best teacher, but not for those who have forgotten the important points mentioned by the OP especially the limit points.

From all these responsibile gambling practice that you have carefully enumerated, I am more conversant with the number one and three. All the other ones you mentioned are also very important but setting limits in gambling can help a gambler to become self discipline, know when to stop gambling and how to manage every of his gambling affairs so that it doesn't interfere with other of his important activities. Financial management in gambling is also very very important because it can help the gambler to not spend off budget while gambling.

Basically, gambling is not dangerous if we can limit the gambling we do, because then of course we won't gamble excessively. In my opinion, many gamblers suffer big losses because they don't have limits on gambling, so they do it. gambling excessively and of course it shouldn't be. It's true what you said, nothing will be a problem if it is done with good awareness and responsibility. However, this is difficult to apply to yourself, especially when gambling.

Having limits on gambling will help, where the limits you have can be budget and time. Most gamblers who gamble don't have a limit on their budget. When they gamble, they are sure they can win,  but because there are no limits in gambling, they don't think about cashing out the winnings they have obtained, but they continue gambling to get bigger wins. On the other hand, this is also very risky, but there are people who still do this risky thing.

It's a good topic of discussion indeed but I think with all these key points highlight and explained by Op is too deep and make it more like a professional career. As far as I know, responsible gambling is all about approaching gambling in a way that is safe and fun. Know the risk you are about to take, not spending money that you can not afford to lose and know when to stop gambling especially when you are not in the mood or when you suffer from too much serial lose. Another thing aside this seems like you are taking it to another level and it sometimes makes things more complicated for gamblers.

Like that number one on the list, setting limits is a very good practice in gambling and also easier to do but how many of us here can confidently boasts of sticking to their limit set? I guess only few of us. Responsible gambling is to play moderately, have fun and move on regardless of the outcome.

We may list as many as possible ways to gambling responsibly however people would continue 'sleeping' or ignoring it simply because self discipline is lacking in particular with their gambling habits. There is a factor which pushes a gambler outside his "circle of discipline" and that is for sure, money. Many gamblers, before they astart to actually bet, are having ideas of getting rich from playing. Given that the reward they are seeking is high, it requires them to risk big as well to create or establish a match on their goal. So maybe, it is one's mindset which should be managed first before anything else.
That's gambling as its purpose which is as a leisure activity. People are just having high desires out of gambling and that might be a reflection of how tough living and being rich is, at the present. Unlike before wherein people's mindset is to work hard for their dreams, people in gambling industry are in some instances,  hoping to reach that goal through gambling. The outcome? they get too hooked up in this activity to the extent that they are willing to lose everything for that 'chance' to get rich. But as we all know, chances are just possibilities and will never guarantee or assure things.

Many gamblers don't care about reading the terms of service of casinos they want to sign up with. They are in a haste to register and don't know the policies of the gambling platform. Many experienced gamblers just assume that it might be the same rules as they have seen in other casinos. However, they fail to grasp that every casino has its policy based on its licence and other operations. It is always important to carefully read this important document because you might be forced to read it when you have problems.  


The gambling community might be helpful because you will learn from the experiences of other gamblers. These communities could also be a source of information which could be enlightening but we should also be careful about false information in these communities. But the bitcointalk gambling community is an example of a helpful community.  

These are good stuff, op.

But the hard part is you have to stick with them to eventually incorporate them in your habits and some people may struggle with this. If that's the case, I would recommend setting up a reward system that works for you everytime you do your part of the month/day.

There are also many apps that help you track your habits. I would recommend loop habit tracker for starters, see: https://loophabits.org/

3. Financial Management

This would be  the most or something that would really be crucial if we do speak about dealing up with gambling on which we know that this is where people do usually mess up
on the time that you would really be lost off track when it comes to spending or simply with financial aspects on which you would really be that ending up on having that kind of
probability on messing up yourself entirely when it comes into your life. We do know that this isnt something that we could really be able to make out those kind of
adjustments accordingly on the time that we do gamble.

If you do find yourself that having not mindful about your actions then most likely you would really be ending up on having that kind of chance on messing
up your life entirely if you wont really be that careful.

In my opinion, the first thing a person should do is think about what they want when they play. If you are looking for profit then how much money are you willing to lose vs how much money are you willing to gain. In other words, this can be summed up in a single word, which is “planning”. Having a good plan is of great importance, because a person with good planning can look at himself, know how much free time he has each month, how much money he earns per month and how much money he spends to pay all his bills, and how much money he has available for fun each month. When talking about fun, many people think that only gambling is the only option for people to have fun. when this is very far from being true

Because many people only focus on gambling to have fun, they end up forgetting that there is life in the real world, they start acting as if the world is just gambling. they get to the point that when they eat they are thinking about gambling, when they are at work they are also thinking about gambling. When they are talking to other people, they are thinking about gambling. while people who have good planning are able to manage the money they have well and are able to be successful in life even when playing in casinos. because they are people with responsibility. They know that every month, after paying bills, they set aside the money allocated

with every fun thing they will do in a month, with lots of things for them to have fun, they don't think about gambling all the time. On the contrary, they gamble little, lose money at the casino and go have fun with other things and remain very happy, and that is what everyone should do. Don't think that the world doesn't have other things people can do. why have. Games are for people to have fun in conjunction with other things that people should do to have fun. I have seen in my country, when people are playing games it always ends in fights, I wonder why they keep playing if in the end they are going to fight and get injured

All the things mentioned by @OP are what many gamblers often ignore, so they start having problem after problem when playing their gambling. They cannot control themselves while gambling and also have no limits, and it is only a matter of time for them to get other problems.

They don't want to learn or have all these things; they will only encounter problems, and in the end, they will become gambling addicts. When they become gambling addicts, it will be difficult for them to return to normal again because all they can think about is gambling.

1 & 3 are basically the same imo, they don't differ much since there's not much to manage when it comes to money used in gambling. It's just mostly setting a limit based on your monthly income. Honestly, that's all you'd ever really need to be "responsible" really. The rest is just, well, stuff you'd have to handle if you want a seemingly smooth experience when gambling. 2 and 5 can mostly be about understanding the casino and finding the best one you think personally can serve you the best, and 4 is well, mostly a joke since people can't seem to follow it through whenever they want to self-exclude. They complain why the casino allowed them to cancel their self-exclusion when they requested it themselves lol.

When we take a gamble or place a bet, it's as if we're experiencing an incredible surge of adrenaline, giving us a certain feeling that can greatly impact our emotions. If we don't have a firm grip on our emotions or find ourselves losing control, this can heavily influence us to make irrational decisions when it comes to betting. At times, it even causes us to momentarily overlook the rules and limitations that we had set for ourselves beforehand.

That's the reason why it is crucial to exercise restraint and manage your emotions when gambling or placing bets. In situations where you find yourself lacking self-control and struggling with your emotions, but still have the desire to continue gambling, I would recommend seeking assistance from a trusted friend or loved one who can join you in your gaming endeavors. Having someone by your side can serve as a constant reminder to snap out of any detrimental behavior that may arise.

Ignoring these can lead to a whole bunch of problems for gamblers. When they don't set limits or control themselves, it's like a ticking time bomb. Learning to gamble responsibly is important because once it turns into an addiction, it's hard to get back to normal life. It's all about avoiding those pitfalls early on for a better gaming experience and every info is available online

Of the five points suggested above, I think I would prefer numbers 1 and 3 regarding the application of limits and financial management, I am with these two things alone you should be able to become a responsible gambler and avoid the name of addiction. However, management is a very important tool in any case, not only in gambling involvement but also in other matters in real life because with management, you will be able to achieve a good balance point, especially in terms of finance.

The other thing is "limits" this is no less important, one of the reasons why the above two things are very important to do and apply to gambling because however in gambling there is absolutely no element of certainty that can guarantee victory, Therefore I think everyone will agree that there is no better way to keep us in the gambling activity to avoid addiction than to always manage your finances such as dividing a small budget for this activity along with applying losing and winning limits, not only this but you also must not ignore the concept of gambling actually, we must understand what gambling really is because this will be able to better help us to become responsible gamblers and avoid addiction.

Gambling will only give you consequences if you are using it the wrong way. All factors that you mention is really true on why people always have a problem on gambling which they can avoid if they use it the way it was intended.


This is really the key to become responsible gambler yet it’s always easy to say than done because you are still the one who will decide on how you will move forward in case you hit some wall in gambling. Your limitation that you set is easy to break if you are already high in gambling cravings since you knew that you can break it anytime that you want. I think this limitation rule can only work if there’s other person involved that will monitor you.

Others might do this by there own but most of the gamblers is not capable doing it that’s why many become addicted.

To a certain extent, I guess one's failure to control himself/herself in gambling speaks a lot about his/her character. Although it is basic to learn early on that gambling can be addictive and that once you are consumed by it you'd find it hard to let it go, people are still falling for it. It must be their attitude more than the fun in gambling that led a lot of gamblers into addiction. I myself have also been a gambler for quite a while, and while I admit that there is indeed that unique thrill in gambling, I haven't really been dragged into addiction.

Moderation is very important in everything we do. Even the Bible has enjoined us of the need to do things in moderation. In gambling, this is very important as it will go a long way in preventing the gambler from incurring an irreparable loss, maintaining control over their gambling behavior, and promoting healthy gaming practices. Setting limitations is a good financial management practice on its own and that is why, of all the factors mentioned, I think setting limits is the most important. Setting limits shows that the gambler is responsible and when a gambler is responsible, all other factors mentioned become unnecessary.

In addition, setting limits can prevent the gambler from becoming addicted. Addictive gambling can ruin the life, relationship and income of a gambler and this is why setting limits becomes so important. Simply put, in a cause-and-effect relationship, the cause will be a lack of setting limits and the effect will be gambling addiction. Thus, setting limits will prevent gambling addiction. This shows that the hallmark of responsible gambling is setting limits.

This is for me the most important discipline that gamblers should take up, I'm guilty of this and I regret it because I lose a lot of money by not disciplining myself on how to manage my finances and bankroll.
Financial management, and properly managing your bankroll are two of the most important things that gamblers should learn if they don't want to suffer from addiction.
This is not an easy task because we are always tempted to use all our bankroll or add more money that is beyond our allocation, this is where the majority of gamblers fail and they fail miserably because the temptation to play bet more within our capacity is just too high.
The only way we could reach proper financial and bankroll management is to limit our time and pause from time to time so we can think clearly and stop being tempted to abuse our bankroll.

I am good with these two right here. These are for me what makes gamblers became broke in the long run if not taken into account. Discipline should begin on these two aspects for us to be a responsible gambler.

            -    Everything you said is good and right, mate, and what I liked the most is that no. 5 that you mentioned, there are actually many communities here in crypto gambling that can give us guidance on what a gambler should and should not do in reality.

It's better to just ask questions because this is where we will get ideas and learn even more because of the different ideas or opinions that other communities will give here, to be honest.

Gambling responsibly was indeed easy to say but was really difficult in real life. Temptation is always there in gambling and even though we've been gambling for many years, such words' limitations are hard to follow, most of the time we exceed the limit because of common thinking - what if I could win more and be lucky the next round until we realize that we overspend already.

Maybe a few gamblers did this but the majority are not. That is what exactly happened to me and I admit that the moment I win, I don't even think about stopping as I gamble more.

In my opinion, this is the most ignored by every gambler, because they do not tend to have good boundaries or self-control which results in large losses occurring, but in my opinion the many and large losses that occur are because they themselves cannot limiting and not being able to control themselves well, because if they could have good boundaries and self-control perhaps there wouldn't be a big loss.

also with financial management, many of them gamble without looking at money management, they tend to gamble without looking at their own finances and often force themselves to continue gambling even though they always lose, and this is also caused by a lack of good self-control and There are also no restrictions on gambling. I agree with you, if someone is addicted to gambling then it will be difficult to return to normal. where they will always prioritize their addiction over other things. Many gamblers are trapped but it is because of their own bad actions. Maybe they don't consider their actions first, which leads them to become trapped in a gambling addiction.

These are good gambling considerations and factors, they are all that must have been known by many, but for those who are coming newly into the gambling industry or are facing one or two challenges therein, they can learn from them even as some of them might not be necessary for responsible gambling but an optional way of gambling lifestyle.

As a gambler, you must be very careful so that you are not being pushed by it, if not, you will be addicted and continue to waste money with nothing to show for it. Another thing that we must ensure is that we learn to fully gain an understanding of what we want from gambling. Gambling with the mind of money making is getting a whole lot of people in trouble, while those who even see it as a means to have fun often are being affected if done too much. That is why we should have our limits, and that is possible through our decisive plans which will entail the budgets we have per day, per week and so on so that we will know the amount of money to use for those activities, and when we waste money, we will call it quit instead of pushing it further and continue losing money.

Many gamblers would want to gain back their lost money and thereby revenge their trades, but this will not stop anything but will only make them lose more. The same thing goes for the greedy gamblers, they will not know the time to quit but will want more, and this often gets them into trouble instead. However, with budgetary limits and plans, one will be able to put an end to that. This includes the management in the OP, once such can be properly calculated, I am sure that it will work as planned, though it also depends on whether the gambler will be able to be truthful to all these or not. This is where the discipline in gambling comes in, we all have to be determined to be disciplined to further help ourselves.

Yes, because it is a way that can enable people to control themselves properly when gambling, limit budgets and manage money properly, I also apply both and everything has lasted a long time until now I play gambling responsibly without ever feeling careless, let alone irresponsible. , when we can limit our budget, we can definitely use it as a reminder like an alarm to make us aware to stop gambling, let alone be able to manage money well and also manage emotions properly.

I think maybe many gamblers who are addicted to gambling do not apply the two practices above, even though it is very important to make gambling responsibly and remain under good control, as well as helping us not to become addicted to gambling, the most scary thing when people gamble is addiction. gambling, because gambling addiction is difficult to cure and not everyone can recover from their gambling addiction, that's why preventing it from happening to us in the future is better, making changes by implementing and consistently implementing the two practices above is more than enough.

A gambler needs to manage their finances because by managing their finances it will allow them to play more wisely and prevent financial ruin. Managing finances is the most basic thing that gamblers need to do because this will be directly related to their financial condition and it will help them to be more responsible for their gambling and also for their other responsibilities.

I would say that these 2 things would really be the most crucial thing that you should really be minding on the time that you would really be dealing up with gambling.
If you are someone who do have that kind of self control and limitation at the same time that you are really that good when it comes to financial management then its unlikely that you would really be messing up yourself with gambling since you could really be able to have that kind of control which usually people do fail up on this one. This is why tons of people who do mess up their
lives because of too much losses on gambling because they have lost that control.

Once you do step your foot into gambling field then you should really be wary on the things that could really happen. If you do ignore those things then most likely
you would really be ending up on messing yourself into this field on which you should really be that careful on not to try on engaging too much
because excess things would never be that good.

Gambling alone isn't really a bad thing. It's just that the reputation of it became tainted due to those who abuse it, then later on suffer the consequences of their own actions. Those people who have no self-discipline are the usual ones who you will see fell into the pitfall of addiction. And this is because they don't really take time to set limitations. Most of the time, all they think about is money. Winnings matter above all, to the point they forget about the risks that gambling possesses. Having no strategic plan before entering gambling is what they lack aside from establishing healthy boundaries which surely is a combo recipe for disaster.

It is the same thing as every other activity meant for entertainment, If there is no limitation, it will cause a problem.

Misunderstanding the terms and conditions of a casino or gambling platform will only lead you to issues later on that you will be trying to resolve.

When you become very active in a gambling community, it can make you a gambler who may be thinking of quitting to keep gambling because of the effect of community membership, quitting will be hard. So we have to be careful because the very support that is sought after from groups and communities, can become a disadvantage.

Are you sure about this one? I mean, I completely understand when people try to help, who know what you feel because they experienced the same thing that you are currently going through, but their help is usually a double-edged sword. Many of them could have a warped view of the entire situation due to gambling addiction. So they might end up enticing you to go back to irresponsible gambling practices.

I think going cold turkey on everything about gambling (especially the community) and distracting yourself with something else that is in no way connected to gambling, might be a better idea.

Nothing listed or said in the list op made is new, except to brand new gamblers amongst us, every gambler who is actively participating in gambling discussions on this forum knows well all the rules patterning to responsible gambling, it's just that, most of us actually don't or consciously or unconsciously fail to adhere to some of those rules.

For example, keeping a gambling record, this one is something I personally consider very important, but most gambler aren't doing this, I myself did for some time but stopped along the way, which tells us that some or most (if not all actually) of all this gambling rules require us to apply some will-power and discipline, else, we might just be fooling ourselves.

But in all of this though, I think the most important rule still remains, "only gamble with as much as you can afford to lose", this is golden rule in gambling, every other rules revolves around this one, for losing more than one can afford to lose will definitely cause problems for the gambler, doesn't matter if the gambler is keeping a record or not..

any source of pleasure can make us dependent but some are definitely better than other, of course
one should always watch their actions and their thoughts and be alert all the time to not deviate too much from a moral and ethical way. 

that is important to keep in mind to live a good life

I think financial management has always been the crucial part.
This is where greed and chasing losses come into play. Without financial management or a planned amount to spend, we are not disciplined enough to say it's enough if we lose that amount or a planned winning amount to say enough if we hit that certain number.
Gambling addiction won't happen if we stick with our own rules of the planned amount on both ends.
An example would be losing $10 as a planned amount, we stop, we wait for the next payroll and that's when we could play again. I do that. I don't like spending a lot on gambling because it's just part of my entertainment. Just like now, I lost 70 percent of my planned amount to gamble and I left the remaining 30 percent because I am playing sports too and the game will be later.
I said to myself that I should stop playing casino games or else I wouldn't have enough money to bet on the sports that I prefer later. It's all mental. If we cannot tell ourselves that it's over then we won't stop chasing those losses that many times we cannot even get back whatever strategy we do.
This is why I love sports gambling more than casino games, there, I could win something although the multiplier is low. But the chances of winning is higher than playing against the house.

If I wish these things can work out to the real gamblers but it wouldn't work out at all. And this is not the first time such threads have been created for us to discuss. And such guidelines are not working bfor the real gamblers as others said in some time past. All those steps you mentioned are good to practice, mostly the number 4 and 5. But the addicted gamblers will not follow any of these things and I believe they are purely meant for the addicted gamblers to avoid huge lose.

Addicted gamblers only need counseling and not telling them to follow steps reduce their gambling career. And why I said gambling career because they have taken gambling has their career in life.

I agree that setting limitations and financial management are very important in gambling but then you cannot differentiate them since setting limit is part of financial management. In my understanding, financial management strategy is essential when gambling and one of the aspects of it is setting limitation which is deciding on how much to bet and sticking to it. This limit must depend on the income of the gambler. No one can decide that for the gambler. This is so because what might be a limit for gambler A might be a death call for gambler B. Know your income and set a limit based on your income. This is what accounts for financial management.

Financial management will also make a gambler gamble with the amount he is prepared to lose. Also, financial management will help a gambler understand priority. That is, know when you have another plan and then reduce the money you use for gambling to enable you to save up for the plan. For instance, if you want to buy a car and that will require setting money aside for a few months, you can reduce the amount you use for gambling because you can rely on your savings and cannot rely on gambling. I can conclude that the bedrock for responsible gambling is a good financial management strategy.

Responsible gambling is common among many people but some people accept it and gamble when they are addicted to gambling and these rules do not work for them. Most gamblers go beyond their limits and once they fall into addiction it is difficult to bring them back. They don't want to understand the good things I think they need to be told about the bad aspects in a group. The understanding of the team members often comes in handy.

I like the aspect that you have talked about gambling limitations and financial managements, these are some of the strong aspects that so many gamblers battles with while gambling because they can't do without haven gone through them, financial management is a serious challenge to some, because they don't know the limit to what extent they are willing to make profits, gamble less and take a break as well as having an effective gambling management practices.

financial management is indeed the vital part in this game. as a gambler, we all know that being in front of your games would entail a discipline from yourself. because it is too easy to follow your desires especially if you are on the losing side. definitely, most of us would want to recover those losses. but before we totally bust our bankroll, better assess your financial situation. are you gonna follow your desires? or pause your games and call it a day? and just come back when you feel you are ready again to sit down and waste more money? i say waste, because the reality is, the chance of losing in gambling is very high as compared to winning. so don't be a hypocrite to yourself. accept such reality. so you know how to handle your boundaries.

Financial management comes along with self-discipline as the core.  Without self-discipline no matter how knowledgeable we are with financial management it will only end up in our head and not applying it to the game.  At the end of the day, it is how we apply our knowledge of financial management that will affect our gambling game, and how we control the urge to gamble more is most probably the most crucial.

So I believe that all these things listed by @OP will be useless unless the person has self-discipline.

Yes, as long as gamblers still maintain their common sense, this shouldn't be a significant problem. But if it leads to criminal activity, or continues to try to continue gambling even though it has exceeded the limit, this could indicate that he has lost his moral and ethical way. They will become victims of gambling who may not be able to maintain their attitudes and ethics due to their emotional instability

Limitations? Definitely gold. I've learnt (often the hard way) that sticking to a budget is about self-respect and future success.

Financial management is crucial, as is knowing the rules. Despite the thrill, the risks are huge. My motto is "Know your game like you know your best friend." Making informed decisions keeps gambling exciting without the fear of repercussions. Loans and credits are a treacherous slope I've watched too many go down.

I relate to the self-exclusion and gambling community assistance. I've relied on communities like this too often. Sharing a story or worry can bring so much support and help. Makes travel less lonely. Self-exclusion? I directed people that needed a hard halt here. Its a great control tool. Promote these practices - they're the lifelines that keep gambling exciting and safe. Loving and respecting the game is key.

Doesnt matter if its on the hard way but at least you had been able to make it out on which this is something that what matter the most. If you are someone whose really that kind of
control towards yourself on the time that you do play gambling then tendency or chances on getting addicted or simply wrecking up your life with gambling is less or not possible at all
since you do have that kind of self control on which this is something that you wont really be able to make yourself that put in great danger when it comes to gambling addiction.
If you are really just that responsible then you wont really be ending up on a disaster on what most people do really heading on on the time that they would really
be having that kind of engagement.

Gambling responsibly is the main key to preventing significant losses and other negative impacts, which can harm ourselves. And of course this is not an easy thing for us to do. because sometimes, even in the past, we have implemented limits on the gambling activities we carry out, including financial limits and playing time. However, in certain situations, we can lose control and ignore certain limits, so that we gamble more than the specified time and bet more than the previously set budget. So the gambling we do can influence and hinder other activities, and only cause financial losses. And if we often violate these limits, then this has the potential to lead to gambling addiction. This is a very dangerous situation and to minimize the negative impact of this behavior, we must continue to try to remain consistent with the boundaries that we have always set.

Common sense is not enough for a gambler to be responsible in gambling; there are many things a responsible gambler has, and one of the most important is their mind and will. Mind: If a gambler has a strong mind and follows his mind when making decisions, then he or she should know when to stop and what they are doing wrong. From there, they will stop if they see that they are addicted or that gambling is corrupting them. In short, a gambler with good thinking will be aware of what he is doing and can identify if it is wrong or not. A gambler's strong will can stop and limit itself from overgambling or overspending on gambling; in that way, no matter what influence or urge they feel, their will to limit themselves will be more dominant. So aside from what the OP stated, there are more important aspects to be considered for a gambler to be responsible.

To better understand all those listed there, gamblers need to experience the worst situations first. From being always bankrupt, can't fight the temptation of doing gambling even currently on losing streak, always chasing losses non-stop and many more. Without these problems they will encounter in gambling, they won't know the true meaning of being a responsible gambler.

They won't understand things in gambling that easy if the road is always smooth until the worst come.

If the gambler able to survive that worst situation, chances to become a better and responsible gambler later on will surely happened.

The points you mentioned are indeed important things that gamblers must pay attention to so that they don't experience too many problems in their gambling because sometimes they just want to gamble to make a profit but ignore the important points that must be paid attention to. Someone who wants to enter the world of gambling must pay attention to the rules provided by the platform and never ignore them if you don't want to end up regretting ignoring the rules, and we also have to set boundaries and manage money well to avoid gambling addiction.

Talking about the Gambling Community as a Supporter for someone who feels they are losing self-control, there's no harm in asking for help from other people to be able to overcome your problems in gambling, you need other people wherever you are so never be embarrassed to ask someone for help regarding the gambling you have been doing for a long this time.

Gambling responsibly is not an easy thing to do for everyone who has made gambling a routine activity, even though they have set time limits and also limited the funds they will use for gambling, they will still be breaking these rules themselves, according to I would be better if we could reduce gambling activities rather than limiting funds for betting, because if we gamble too often it will be very difficult for us to be able to control ourselves in the games we play, of course this will be very detrimental to us.
To be able to gamble responsibly, of course we have to obey every rule we make if we don't want to suffer a lot of losses both behaviorally and financially.

I am sure most gamblers have heard about all of those measures, it is just that when the emotions are high people often forget about those kind of things and simply follow their instinct, this is why you have people that after a bad session begin to wonder what could have gone wrong? As not even they know how it could have been possible for them to lose control over their emotions in such a way and lose so much money so quickly.

It was hard because we've been always influenced by our emotions and greed, it is a normal situation since we are a human being. But it is not the case why we should not be acting responsibly, at least we never do this always and forever. At least sometimes, we know our limitations, and at least sometimes, we can think when to stop. It is really difficult when already addicted that is why we don't let it happen instead, have a habit to start controlling ourselves as early as possible. It may not be working instantly, but at least we do something to avoid from falling into the worst scenario.

From research you can not notice or find that gambling have a strategies that someone can be taken to be winning gambling,  I think its not acceptable or void to me base on what I have seen in gambling,  this gambling doesn't have a tool and when looking at it very well you can see that gambling is something have to deal with advantages and disadvantages,  and when you come to the advantages side of gambling it have no means to make the advantages to be occurring almost every time, and disadvantages parts of gambling is something that will continue to happen because in gambling you can not say you have study gambling almost every time so therefore gambling have stage by stage and this stage is being lucky and unlucky so this two things that's me not believe that their is strategies to follow in order to be wining gambling

You're right, this is also not applicable to people with severe gambling addiction, because it will be difficult for them to follow all the guides and tips, what will really help them is the guidance of medical professionals because they know better what to do or whether it is necessary to take medication to gradually reduce a person's gambling addiction.

I have tried to follow what you have said and it is really hard to convince yourself not to play more when you are losing. The same situation arises when I am winning, the difference is that I am using the winning money to continue my gambling. When you are losing you always feel that another bet and you will cover your losses. Another bet and it continues till you lose everything that you have as capital. The problem cannot be controlled if you are disciplined or not, it is the urge that takes over and makes you go on till you lose. The amount that I have lost is not that big and I can recover it, imagine when someone loses his entire salary or payment with this problem.

 What I think concerning this is that,you need to try more harder,they say practice make perfect.keep trying them and I'm sure you gonna make a difference.If you think the theory works for you better,you can still make it in the practicing aspects so you can be perfect in both.

And again you said practicing in the field is far beyond ones control,which is a No for me.i usually hear people say this often times when they make a huge mistake or something,and they will say it's a mistake and it went out of my control.
There's nothing you can control,cause you're the life cursor here, wherever you choose to direct your game it follows and when you don't direct it well it fails.so at this junction you don't blame anything or anyone but your self,that's why you need to be responsible for every losses and gain.

From what happened, I judge that what is actually the problem is not whether it is difficult or not to be responsible gambler but whether you have problems with your own self-control.
Try to really suppress the desires and thought patterns that result in increased intensity of gambling.
When you can suppress these desires, you can truly have self-control and whatever happens from gambling, you can always take the right steps.
When lose, try to accept all the losses, even if you have some money to recover the losses, just forget about it and don't let emotions influence you mind which results in the desire to recover the losses.
And when you win, immediately withdraw the winning amount and leave the gambling site, then you can do other activities to forget about the desire to gamble so you can get bigger win.
You must be aware that bigger losses will await if you continue to gamble in an effort to recover from osses and must realize that all wins can become losses if you still have the desire to get bigger win.
Indeed, the issue of self-control is the most difficult thing to implement because it is related to emotions, anxiety and also unpredictable psychology.
As gambler you must begin to understand that the money have is very valuable, you work and earn money not only to gamble but also to meet living needs and be able to have much more decent life.

Gambling is a motivation and courage in one aspect,  the second aspect of it is that gambling have to do with greediness, what makes people to be consistent in gambling is when they have calculated what they will get within that period in gambling,  and secondly to be gambling addicted it come to a such a way that if a newly gambler wins in gambling within the short time it started gambling that will prompt the gambler to think that it may be winning continously in gambling seriously, so in gambling to get addicted is base on what you have in mind, someone who is not future money conscious will not be addicted with gambling but if you are conscious to make money with gambling nothing that will skip the gambler not be addicted..remember that what's makes people to be addicted with gambling is greediness and desperate to make millions with minor staking amount

We always preached about responsible gambling practices but yet people are still getting addicted to gambling, some are turning into chronic gambling where it could be too hard for them come out of that messed they put themselves into, if only some gamblers can adhered to all the things narrated here then it could be very hard for them to becomes more addicted.
Whenever a gambler fails to understand and follows the principle of gambling then addiction is inevitable.

the best way to avoid betting too much is to use a nice cold wallet! maybe difficult to reach, maybe with a timelock.
even the most avid gambler will have to surrender to this technology.

I would also like to point out my good bettor's decalogue, posted many years ago here on the forum ;) it is always actual ;)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1234109.0

I think not really a lot of people has been addicted into gambling, most of them are just regular gamblers. Though being responsible is most of the time has been overlooked, but becoming addicted is different than not being responsible, since most gamblers tend to spend beyond the budget especially when being frustrated with the losses accumulated for the day.
A gambling addict are totally irresponsible, they have totally lost control of themselves.

Gambling in itself has nothing to do with greed but it is difficult for most gambler to control their greed during gambling and this has led so many gamblers into financial instability. Most gamblers are concerned about chasing loss and then lose control. It is important to set guidelines as this will help to keep greed at bay.

Gambling is a continuous process and having setbacks is inevitable. However, what matters is to learn from them and continue working towards controlling greed and promoting responsible gambling.

This is a very good idea for especially newbies. Some newbies hid away from people knowing that they are losing and they keep dying in silence instead of asking for support. You don't stay out from people who have past through the bizarre experience that you are having, you only need to extend your hands by asking for the solution of the gambling challenges you are facing. For instance interms of continuous losses, a gambler need to reduce his wager habit and observe what he is not doing right instead of playing with revenge and aggression by increasing his risk which will lead to further losses. So it is better relying on advise and suggestions of experienced gamblers in the game you wager mostly.

The most useful recommendations, in my opinion, are the ones you listed first, because setting limits is akin to practicing or training yourself to achieve control over yourself, which involves discipline. When these techniques are followed correctly, there is no room for addiction to enter.

The second option, which is also acceptable to me, is number 5 because the assistance that other gambling groups provide in this area of the crypto realm varies.

That's right, gambling itself is not a bad thing if we do it sensibly, don't do it excessively, and as you said, the reputation of gambling is bad or many people have a bad point of view because of those who do the gambling themselves. misoperating it, where they gamble excessively, and of course something that is done excessively is not good, just as if gambling is done excessively it will bring bad disasters.

Indeed, those who respond wrongly to gambling or who gamble excessively are because they are thirsty for big wins (money), they tend to only think about that but don't think about the losses and risks involved in gambling. That's right, things they don't pay attention to, such as existing risks, are the ingredients for them to become addicted to gambling. and of course it will lead them in a direction that may destroy their lives. Many gamblers are not responsible for what they do so that it harms themselves, even though they should not gamble excessively. Doing gambling responsibly is something that must be paid attention to.

The world is full of differences, everyone is different and every person's wishes will also be different and this is what makes people, especially those who are addicted to gambling, not easy to overcome, especially if it is just a suggestion, because they will assume that what you say is different from what they want even though basically if you review their wishes are very unreasonable, and also on the other hand most people come with a wrong understanding of gambling so that this makes them enter the addiction phase, like trapping themselves unconsciously because of the encouragement of the wrong approach based on a skewed understanding. We can see that there are also some gamblers who are still fine even though they have been involved for a long time, the point is that they have the right understanding of gambling so that it makes them avoid the possibility of addiction.

Sometimes someone needs to experience gambling addiction and lose a lot of money in gambling so that they can feel what we emphasize and warn them about, usually people have to experience bitter taste before they learn and avoid it, therefore don't be surprised if they ignore the messages and warnings that we preached in this forum to prevent them from becoming addicted to gambling, even though playing gambling responsibly can prevent themselves from becoming addicted to gambling.

Everyone who follows the correct rules of the game can usually prevent themselves from becoming addicted to gambling. That's why don't ever hope that when we give positive advice about gambling addiction, it is rarely listened to unless they really feel the consequences of their carelessness and playing recklessly, of course there are consequences. such as gambling addiction and others, responsible gambling practices must be consistent and controlled, for example limiting the budget when gambling can be used as a responsible gambling practice.

first and third options are enough to represent being a responsible gambler implementing these two options, a gambler can start to become a healthy gambler and can get other references about what he should pay attention to in order to continue to be a gambler who is consistent with his own rules.
there are many more options that are often ignored by irresponsible gamblers, they ignore how gambling works which can give encouragement to their own minds not to put too much money into gambling.

I really appreciate this post and this can be advice for any gambler not to ignore small things like this but it is very important for the future of a gambler who must remain a healthy gambler and remain responsible for every bet made.

The problem is self expectations from gambling, this is what stop people from become an responsible gambler, when someone close to you make millions, accept that they get lucky, believing that you can also get this lucky is not wrong, but wanting to make it happen quicker, the ugly truth is it might never happen the way you want, some people are sure lucky than many other people, its a fact you must accept.

It's a main problem in the world today to accept that we can't all always be lucky, people do crazy things when they believe that the world is unfair to them, they blame themselves for existing with such cruel destiny, but they are not just smart to believe that it is what it is.

Gambling on the other part will possibly wreck everyone you know, it's not easy to see someone who gets lucky most of the time in gambling, they are not many, and if you come across one you don't have to do the same thing as them, safety first as a gambler, nothing else matters.

Yes, the widespread of the negative experience of gambling makes some people, ethnic, countries, and religions tag gambling as something harmful to their society while the real result is caused by the gambler's immaturity habit of gambling.
All the factors you listed are good practices to escape gambling addiction or gambling more than we can avoid losing but if a gambler is not mature enough and very conscious to accept or operate with the practice he/she will still be an addict.

Expectations are the problem. We hear about fairy-tale luck and fortune and want that same serendipity. I've learnt to enjoy gambling as fun, not a guaranteed income. Knowing you cant control luck is hard to accept.

Ultimately, gambling is about the excitement of the unknown. Not the outcome, but the anticipation and excitement should draw. I keep telling myself to gamble for fun, not prestige. The mindset shift liberated me. Play intelligently, set limits, and know when to quit. Sure, safety first! Gaming responsibly should be the only thing that brings joy and entertainment.

Key is acceptance. Learning to accept that luck is important and that not everyone will win the jackpot is key. Its practical, not pessimistic. Realism offers a peculiar comfort. Well conscious of the odds, I bet for fun. I stay grounded by using this strategy to make gambling fun rather than stressful or unrealistic.

Will be always dependent with the gambler as an individual. Will it be right to generalize? There's a high tendency that gamblers are confused of responsible practices and its actualization. As other have mentioned, no gambler is not aware of how dangerous it is to gamble and bet. We're just too hooked that we become unaware of what is actually happening. Domino effect that you will be driven and continue betting until you don't have nothing left with you. Process of addiction I guess but not conclusive to all of the gamblers. It is also applicable to anything that consumes your time that you are too happy doing it. At such state, we disregard ideologies of how things should done.


Indeed addiction is a different thing. Remember the idea of vices? As a child you won't be dreaming of doing so since you know that it is a  bad thing to do. Then a cliché twist of faith to some, they ended trying or engaging to vices such as smoking. Addiction (assuming exaggeration), will make you a bit irrational given that you know things are bad, wherein in this case gambling too much, however you would still continue with your initiative.

Those who have abused gambling should be able to realize that they have gambled excessively, so it is very necessary to try to reduce their gambling activities before their lives change for the worse. They must start trying to get rid of their gambling addiction by visiting professionals who can help them cure their gambling addiction because it has had a bad influence on themselves and the people around them. Unfortunately, this does not always go well because people who have abused gambling do not realize that they have used gambling excessively. This requires help from other people to help them become aware of what they have done so that they are willing to admit that they have a gambling addiction.

Yes exactly, I agree with you that the negative viewpoint of the society on gambling has become more and more common, and yes it is true that all this is because most gamblers see gambling in the wrong way that creates a wrong approach that ultimately destroys their lives in every way, as we know that the population of addicted gamblers is increasing along  with the newbies who just came, As I said above that everything starts from the wrong point of view that ultimately makes them worse, on the other hand, I firmly believe that most of them view gambling as a "place to earn", like changing and considering "opportunities" as if they can become a reality when in fact it is nothing more than something  that does not have any certainty and guarantee to materialize, which means that the possibility of losing can never be avoided..

So the point is that the situation of this misunderstanding should not be allowed and must be immediately corrected in any way that makes sense, because of course it is very worrying and unfortunate if in the end many young people grow up following the wrong path and advice that can certainly destroy their future.

Basically all you need to do is let yourself be not consumed by gambling and you should be fine. Some people turn gambling into a lifestyle, and even though I never truly understood why they do that, that is also the reason why most people end up losing their money as well.

I think it has to be a bit more important than what we are thinking about, like maybe they are missing something in their life and they want to fill that with this, it should be important to realize that we are talking about something that would not be all that crazy if we were on their shoes as well, so we do not understand why they do it because we are not them and did not live the same life they did. I still hope that they could get better and find a solution.

The majority goes with the financial management as a factor being neglected on. And that's because a lot of us think that gambling is an investment and treats it like that without having the understanding that it is an all in taking risk and you have no idea what comes next after the bet you've casted. At the same time, it makes someone make terrible decisions in handling their finances like the approach of how to save and invest properly.

Those important things are also being neglected on and that's why the image of gambling has been destroyed long time ago because of those gamblers that can't control themselves. Becoming addicted to gambling and doing wrong decisions like asking for loans just to gamble, selling their stuff to gamble, becoming irresponsible with their families just for the sake of gambling. Heard of those stories, right? And that's why it's like connecting the dots and creating a domino impact for most of the gamblers that are neglecting these factors.

1. Setting Limitations

This should really be the main thing on your mind on the time that you would really be touching up this gambling space on which you should really be that making yourself
that responsible so that you wont really be putting up yourself on such situation on where most gamblers been suffering. If you do find yourself that being too greedy
then gambling isnt something that would really be good for you. Why? sooner or later you would really be finding yourself that getting wrecked with it.
This is why you should really be that careful and be mindful on whatever actions that you are really that taking specially on gambling dealing.
Make yourself that responsible then you wont really be having any problems.

I always follow my limits and that saves me from losing too much and of course winning too much too lol.

Although if a huge hit, i stopped and will be back later or tomorrow. Because too much will bee too much, unexpected huge win is good but i stopped after i get it. I always gambling in moderation, loss-chasing is worst and could end up getting a huge loss.

You have already pointed out the reason why I generalized the statement I made that every gambler understands how dangerous gambling could be despite that they never stick to the solution that would prevent them from the danger involved.
Nevertheless, people can be addicted to anything not only gambling as you said but most people never focus on that area and this is why I never like how gambling-addicted people only talk about the negative effects of gambling.

The greedy was the important one in the gambling site,because many people had loss their money and their full savings because of the greedy.The gamblers should take a pause in the game after the big winning in the gambling site.Because this was common one in the casino game,many people loss their funds which they had earned from the game to loss because of the more greedy to win the big money in the single game.This was the blunder use to do by many of the gamblers at their initial stage.Even some times the experienced gamblers will do the blunder after the huge experience because of the greedy to raise huge money in the single game.For the big money it take time we need to wait for the opportunity.

Because after all that is the more recommended approach in gambling whose purpose as you said is to minimize all bad possibilities, on the other hand I am sure that all gamblers want to get a big win but this requires them to put a very large amount of money, It is very difficult for those of us who always maintain involvement in gambling to be able to get such big wins because the amount of budget we have is not too large and indeed only with this approach can we stay safe and avoid the possibility of greater harm, and the other reason is because there is no certainty that can guarantee us to get the big win, so the best option is obviously we can only approach it with full restrictions because then we will avoid the possibility of greater harm.

Basically we can put hope in victory but what is not recommended is "forcing" something that always runs randomly and does not have any certainty and this is why in gambling you are not advised to overdo it because the risk is too great especially if you play on the type of bet that is pure luck. On the other hand, if you finally manage to get that big win someday I hope you will stick to your plan by preferring to cash out or quit rather than applying greed because usually in situations like this a gambler will be tested between they must choose to prevent or be greedy for the sake of something bigger that they think can be realized.

I believe self-exclusion can barely help someone with their addiction unless they do it on every single platform available online because if a gambling addict uses the self-exclusion option in one platform, they can still access another platform and start gambling there because the urge to gamble for addicted gamblers is pretty strong and a self-exclusion in one platform cannot stop them from gambling.

The points you've mentioned are good, and they need to be followed by gamblers when they start gambling and not when they have already become addicted to it which is the biggest mistake people make, they don't follow these practices at the beginning and then they start looking for ways to control their emotions and urges when they become addicted.

Everyone starts as a newbie in gambling.

Later or sooner, these newbies will soon realize the importance of being a responsible gambler.

But how can they realize it? Along the way, they will experience win-loss scenarios. When they win big, they will be carried away and will think gambling is too easy to be a profitable thing. They didn't realize that their winnings are now slowly depleting and they will regret what they did. That experience will be one of the keys to becoming a responsible gambler. Sometimes it needs several same experience like that before the realization comes.

that is very true, because if he still can access other gambling sites, then, his self-exclusion to one site is just futile and doesn't make sense. the real change should come from the gambler himself and should have sheer will and determination to alter his lifestyle. this is for the betterment of himself and not anyone else.

but before someone becomes an addict, should already have some self-assessment before you put yourself into the brink of no return.
-  have a regular check-and-balance of your lifestyle
-  at least monitor your finances and see where the bulk of your funds go to, if it is in gambling, time to re-think your life's choices
-  do you have some family relationship problems owed to gambling? maybe time to ask yourself, the why?
-  are you putting yourself and your immediate family to danger because of your gambling debts?

I prefer the word forgot to ignore, gamblers will listen and read the best advice on how to become a responsible gambler, but everything they learned about being a responsible gambler goes out the window when they are playing they just forget everything because they are so concentrated on playing and winning, like bankroll management and playing that they can afford to lose, its basic but when you asked them after they lose their bankroll, they will just say that they forgot all of this.

Experience is the best teacher in gambling, many times when the gambler says that he should have done this to avoid losing that's the time that he understands and gets that advice into his head and implements it, but until he is not in a dire situation where the advice he once read and hears is needed he'll just say he forgot it.

You understand how to minimize the chance for losses huge. You also have good self-control. That's the reason why you can stick with your limits. But it is not the reason you often win in gambling. If you win the gambling games, that means you have good luck in gambling. Or you have great skills on certain gambling games.

This is something that not every one can do it. Average people will add more their money for gambling when they win a jackpot or big prizes. They think it is a chance to get bigger prizes because they are in a lucky day. Sadly, it is just a lucky winning that happen very rarely. When we try to gamble more and more, finally we lose all the prizes that we won. I hope average gamblers will follow your way, so they can enjoy their winning although they may lose tomorrow.

The gamblers who want to play the gambling with their experience or knowledge should take responsibility.Because the money was not come easier to the gamblers.When the money not come easier we should not just like that.So the gamblers who uses the money in gambling site must be the free money.The free money in the gambling site was mostly followed by the gamblers because the loss will not affect him at any point.Balanced money in the gambling site was most important one of the gamblers.Because many people loss the money and disappear in the real life.So better game was free money game in the gambling site.

It is clear that setting boundaries is top priority that must be maintained and by setting boundaries it can also have very significant positive impact in the long term, anyone who has set boundaries can more easily control themselves.
We all know that self-control will influence gambling addiction and also maintain financial stability, so every gambler must be able to set these limits.

Setting boundaries will also be related to sense of responsibility because in context like this those who have set boundaries will have the responsibility to ensure that they do not make mistakes by exceeding what has been set.
Some people say this is difficult, but it actually quite easy if you intend it from the start and actually start implementing it.

Unfortunately, there are still many gamblers who are careless and think that all this is quite trivial, but those who think like this will actually find it easier to become gamblers who often experience bad results.
And of course they can never be ready to accept it.

I put more emphasis on limiting myself to gambling and also to prevent large losses. We don't know how much money we would spend if there were no restrictions on gambling. That's what makes many gamblers lose a lot of money, but they don't stop gambling. Instead, they become even more eager to recover their losses.

Limiting gambling can give us a sense of responsibility so we don't gamble excessively. We can gamble comfortably and have no targets to chase because we will consider gambling as entertainment.

I also believe that setting proper boundaries is the most important practice we need to master. It's really easy to lose control and go overboard, spending more money than you were actually planning. Trying to recoup your losses is probably one of the worst decisions you can make during a gambling session. I agree with most points mentioned by the OP, except maybe the last one. Although I'm pretty sure that the majority of people on this forum at least have the best intentions, it's an extremely delicate matter that should be discussed with a professional, a designated gambling support group, or someone close to you.

This is a nice piece of article but to be sincere how many core gamblers will take their time to read through and most of all how many will actually use it as a guide during gambling activities. The biggest issue with gambling people face is because of the way they view it. A lot of gamblers see gambling as an avenue to make more money, some see it as a job (especially the addicts)while some others see it as a normal fun and game act which is actually the best view approach.
Every piece of information in that article all goes down to " reason " which in turn is accompanied by discipline. When a person takes gambling as just a fun game, they will definitely have boundaries and limits to things they can do when they gamble.

I think one of the reason why people don't practice responsible gamble is because they are fast to gamble,  some people don't even reason or think how they will go about gambling . People are so fast to make money from gamble without trying to know the rules to follow as a gambler. Why  people are so affected in playing gamble is because they lack knowledge on how to go about gambling which they put all their focus and interest is to make money.

Understanding the practice of gambling is very important,  it helps in playing gambling responsibly which will help to reduce loses in gambling and prevent people of becoming addicted to gambling.

I wouldn't say that it's a slept on but more like it's just difficult to follow since they're all an obvious thing that you should do when you're gambling, you manage your bankroll properly and that you have a set limit for your habit, that's an obvious must do for gambling so I'd say that the practice that's most slept on is probably discipline, you know the most basic because most people don't have that even as an adult, they easily give in to emotion and although it's obvious that you do need to have this but some people didn't grow up with this and wasn't even instilled to them so I do believe this is a slept on practice the most because with discipline, you'll probably be able to do all of that without a problem.

You've found something important, and it's time everyone recognized it. Boundaries safeguard self-control and financial stability like fortress walls. These are survival tools for gamblers, not suggestions

Indeed, it's straightforward. Not easy, but simple. The difference? It takes determination to say, "This far and no further." Not depriving oneself, but empowering oneself. The sense of duty? It's the foundation of this operation. You're a leaf in the wind without it, subject to every whim and fancy

Those that downplay boundaries are losing. Not luck, but strategy, discipline, and, dare I say, wisdom. To support healthy gambling is to clearly state boundaries. They're the game, not just a part. Listen up, this is your wake-up call. Take charge, set limits, and redefine responsible gambling

Gambling results or outcomes do come in quick or instant manner on which it would really be just that normal that on the time that you would really be having those experiences then you would really be just having those late realizations that you have already lost up that much and this is something where disaster do really starts on happening on which you are really that making yourself that too numb
not to know on whats happening in you specially on spending money. You would really be only having those kind of realizations when its too late and not before or earlier and this is always been the case for most people on which they had missed out actually on doing the right things or decisions on which they must have that done it well earlier.

When someone wants to gamble, he must have self-control and discipline, and there are still other things he must learn to use gambling well. This must be practiced continuously so that he does not lose control of himself when gambling so that he will not have difficulty controlling his emotions, which may change along with the results he gets from gambling. When it comes to training, only a few people are willing to train in the skills of self-control and discipline, while others will lose the enthusiasm to want to train them because it is difficult to train. But with a strong will to be able to take care of himself while gambling, someone can do it until finally he can have good self-control and can also use gambling well.

Yes, self-control is like not eating the whole cake (but who hasnt been tempted?). Having fun is also important. Why gamble if not for fun and laughs?

Training oneself to be disciplined sounds like watching paint dry. Its cool once you get into it. Its like gaming leveling. Each time you make a good choice or hold back, you beat your self-control score. And who doesnt like winning that game?

Enjoy gambling but stay calm. Test your discipline and self-control on it, but always enjoy the trip. Gambling is about the experience, ups, downs, and everything in between. If you practice and have a strong will, you can bet successfully and have fun. Celebrate fun gambling and impulse control!

The #3 you mentioned is very important to gamblers, set out a particular amount that you can be using for gambling in other not to go above your limit, you don't don't just gamble with every fund available to you, this may lead you unto bankrupt or financially handicapped, since one has chose to gamble, the only way to be free from spending recklessly in gambling, you should keep some funds separate for your gambling activity is that if the fund finish, you won't have to touch any extra fund to gamble with, if someone doesn't do this, it will become a very big problem for them.

In the event that you're a newbie gambler who has just started gambling and managed to get a win because luck came at the right time which in turn makes them addicted and also makes their sense of belief and thinks that gambling is the right way to earn, and this is the initial scenario that makes novice gamblers usually will very quickly end up with addiction.

So don't get too carried away with your winnings because it can be a trap for you to end up putting your hopes and beliefs in winning, you will think that winning is an easy thing to get and then you will find out that it is not as easy as before and most likely what usually happens is that you will try everything to chase the winnings that you managed to get before, and it is in this pursuit that gamblers will lose a lot of money unknowingly. On the other hand yes it is true that one will be able to realize their mistakes when they are too late and this also confirms the statement that "regret always comes at the end", however gambling is an activity that can stimulate the human brain and mind and will continue to tempt them to overdo it because of the temptation of winning, this is the great algorithm implemented by the casino.

Yes, some people think that just gambling is enough without paying attention to the things they need to pay attention to when they want to gamble. Even though gambling without adhering to responsibility or not considering gambling limits can plunge us into dangerous gambling because we could become addiction due to gambling that we experience always loses so we try to recover the losses, or there are also gamblers who think too much about profits so they gamble without limits and cause deep losses.

Yes, the practices and points given by the OP are very important for all of us gamblers to learn and understand because if we don't pay attention to these things we won't be able to gamble in a disciplined and responsible manner, we also need to have broad insight if we want to gamble, don't be too be careless and never overdo it because excessive gambling will have bad consequences later such as gambling addiction and bankruptcy.

Playing gambling responsibly is difficult because not many gamblers can do it. Even though gambling is just for fun, they shouldn't be too serious about gambling. If they can use gambling as entertainment, they will be able to control themselves because they will see that gambling only requires enough money to be enjoyable.

The part of training yourself for this discipline takes time to learn. Those who continuously practice discipline can use gambling properly, although there are still many gamblers who cannot have self-discipline when gambling. It was their fault because they couldn't train it or didn't want to train it seriously. We really like winning but must realize that winning is not easy, so we don't need to try hard to win.

Yes, however, we must try to enjoy gambling while remaining calm. If we can no longer enjoy gambling in peace, we should immediately stop gambling activities and rest. That is a solution that gamblers should know and do, but most of them don't do it because their emotions provoke them to continue gambling.

I say all this based on experience and what I have learned.
It is indeed difficult to determine because I myself still often make mistakes, but there will always be efforts to maintain it.
I understand that everything depends on how emotional each person is because when gambling, each gambler emotions are also different.

Self-awareness and also the willingness to maintain all security are the most important things that can change everything, this is the beginning to be able to start implementing to be able to have the right approach.
It just that this kind of awareness is very difficult to suddenly have unless you are in a difficult situation or have faced series of problems caused by gambling, without bad experiences gambler will not be able to think well.

You are right and all of these are very important factors and priorities that must be maintained even though there are many who don't have them, but when they start with the awareness that themselves will be more important than the mortal ambition of gambling then I sure they can implement them.
Control from the start every gambler has control but the failure is that they let go of control because an abnormal thought pattern influences them.

Maintaining a balance In what you are doing especially when it comes to that which is considered as fun and still promises to earn you some fun, it can actually get addictive in a few weeks , months or years as the case maybe. There can be repercussions too that can come with this activities so it's usually good to put in to consideration a mechanism to create a balance between the fun we are having and it's effect on us aswell so we don't end up wallowing in the pains that may come upon us resulting the losses we incurred gambling.

Always remember to stay responsible gambling so you don't have to learn the hard way after loosing all that you had gambling, all that you did stated in this post is very correct and if adhere to as should then gambling response will not be difficult.

While the activity is fun and interesting, it is easy for it to stray from the intended path. Fun things have turned into addictions for me. This is why I highly suggest a planned, fun, and responsible way to play games.

Making my own rules changed the way I played. Rules like limits on how much I can spend and when I can gamble keep me safe. They help me keep my gaming in check and make it fun. This arrangement makes it more fun by taking away the worry of bad things happening.

Your speech encourages people to gamble responsibly. That being said, the rewards are worth the time and effort. Balance makes gambling fun and free of guilt. It shows that if you know what you're doing, gaming can be fun and safe.

You are right because stability in doing something, especially when it involves gambling, must be considered and have limits so that you don't indulge in excessive enjoyment. There's nothing wrong with gambling as long as you don't overdo it so it won't disturb your economic stability or the stability of your mind. Because if you overdo it, it will have negative impacts and will make us become compulsive gamblers because if we can balance the things we do then the pleasure will not turn into an addiction.

Yup, because gambling responsibly is very important because we will know what points we will do so that we don't become addicted or don't gamble too much, like the points given by the OP, it is very important for all of us to continue learning to be responsible gamblers answer because with that we will avoid addiction which will make our own lives difficult.

By setting limits, we can hope that gambling activities will not exceed what we can afford. This is important because with these limits, we will always be aware that gambling should only be done in moderation. Moreover, there is a risk of losing money, which can increase if we are not aware of it. Meanwhile, if we have experienced defeat, we should be able to stop gambling and not decide to continue because that could cause our losses to get bigger. We don't need to cover our losses by continuing to gamble because we already know the risk of losing money, which could increase. That is why we set limits when gambling to protect ourselves and the money we have so that it does not decrease further.

We have always encouraged self-control and discipline in gambling but is it easy? How do we make people not act on the impulse to gamble especially when they have fallen into the trap of addiction? This is not a question of saying that they should do this or do that but a question of how will they do it? Even though there are guidelines and therapy to help, is the gambler ready to follow the guides? Does the gambler see himself as having a gambling problem?

This is so important because it is when a gambler feels he is having a problem with his gambling habit that he will look for ways to control his impulses and stay disciplined. When he realizes this then he will appreciate self-help and therapies. Self-control and discipline are what constitutes responsible gambling. With self-control, you know when to pause and with discipline specifically financially, you can set a budget and stick to it.

The gambling community can then help to direct the person towards the right people who would take care of his troubles. It's a valid point to share one's troubles with other gamblers online. As not everyone is opportune to have gambling friends or acquittances in their neighborhood. So, the online community is the best place for them, and it'll facilitate the player to have at least a place to hold on to, if his problems begin to worsen. Instead of passing through the rigorous assistance of non-gamblers, it's always better to discuss with people who actually understand what we are really undergoing mentally. Looking at the level of trouble one could be going through in gambling, it's important that a gambler shows interest in money management and gaming limitations. So, that he won't have to bother about who to lay complaints to, or how to do it. He'll be enjoying his gambling habit.

Many gamblers know about the features provided by casinos but unfortunately apart from being reluctant to use them they also abuse them, I remember some time ago whether this is true or not but there was a gambler who complained to the casino because the casino let him gamble even though he had already done this and he complained because all his deposits were gone because he lost so maybe he wouldn't complain if he won and keep gambling.
Sometimes this feature is useless if the player violates it by gambling elsewhere because there are so many online casinos nowadays and other technologies can make him hide his identity such as using a VPN and also there are still casinos that don't implement KYC so players can easily register and play even at the casino else he already uses that feature.
And apart from this point, other points are also very well understood by gamblers, but desire often trumps logic, resulting in irresponsible gamblers, so players must have their own awareness that if they have gambled too much so that it can affect their finances and health, it would be better to cut back and play according to their limits.

It's not easy for a gambler to stop gambling when they are ahead of the house because the urge to keep gambling to try and win more will not let you settle down for less. However, those who are responsible, have enough patience and self-control, and know their gambling limits, will not find this difficult to do.

Many people don't believe this but stopping after a huge loss is easier than stopping after a huge win. The reason behind that is that when you lose, you might think that you can recover it, but if the amount is pretty large, you know you can't recover it so you simply stop gambling for some time.

On the other hand, when you win, the urge to gamble more increases with it, and your mind starts telling you to keep playing and you will win more just like how you won this one.

No one is going to help you stay responsible, being responsible is a  decision you make yourself, therefore responsible gambling practice must come from within. People will only come out to help you when they realise your gambling habit is draining you emotionally, financially, socially and even spiritually. When they begin to see negative changes in you, the concerned ones will come to your aid. But you know you do not need to wait till People begin to notice negative changes in you before you decide to do the right thing. Waiting till things go wrong can be stressful, aside from the fact that many other things might have been ruined already.

Responsible gamblers ain't cowards. Most people believe since gambling is all about taking risks,  those who invest so much money and time are the real heroes. They might be right but those who cannot afford to lose their jobs and huge amounts of money all for the same of gambling have no business competing with these set of gamblers because the pain of losing everything hits differently.

Yes, for poor gamblers it is not a cowardly attitude because they gamble responsibly and it is different from gambling done by rich people because they only see gambling as a place to just have fun with their money, so even losing a lot is not a problem for them because they only use money that is not used or money that is more than their pocket, it is true that gambling is a game full of risks but that does not mean that risk is the scary part of gambling, the most scary thing in gambling is gambling addiction so avoid it while you can . Gambling addiction is difficult to cure.

That's why everyone should play responsibly because it can prevent us from becoming addicted to gambling. Moreover, it's not cowardly to play responsibly. If you don't feel rich, you should never gamble, waste too much money and take risks without limiting yourself, let alone your gambling budget. no limits, don't play like rich people but use the same mindset as rich people, thinking about pleasure above all else, not winning, let alone money from gambling itself. It all depends on your mindset and responsible way of playing.

Setting limits is very nice in anything you do but there is a very big problem which is the ability to maintain the limits that you have set. Not many people that sets limits and not many people who also respect the limits that they set.

Many people do not read the rules and including myself. I think the rules in question here is likely written in the terms and condition which is always bulky and tiring to read. Many people skip that part and when they fall into mess, the casino owners will use the terms of services against them.

There are many types of management but in all, financial management is one of those things that is difficult to implement. The reason this is so is because you need financial literacy in order to understand financial management. Many gamblers are not financially literates, so it's a difficult task for them to manage their finance.

It is true that not everyone that knows about the self-exclusion features in casino and it is not all casinos that have these features. It should be made compulsory for all casinos to have this.

Maybe, like this forum... It is a good place to see advice.

Correct, what makes it interesting? the addict reject the help from the concerned ones and the addict will say mind your own business. :D

If the person don't want to change by himself and reject the help from other people, why it's become our concern? we have our own life, our life isn't only dedicated to cure gambling addicts except that's our jobs and we get paid for that.

Overlooking is that emotional instability that makes it appear as though all the negative signs are ignored. Almost in everything you do, you need emotional stability to take reasonable but hard decisions. It is not very easy to stop yourself from gambling when you have lost reasonable amount of money. Most times it is the effort of a third party that begins to reveals these signs. A gambler despite knowing he is over gambling, he keeps getting deeper because he is chasing back his loses but it takes the intervention of someone that is concerned about his loses to advise him about stopping.

The gambler who get into the overthinking of making the huge win from the gambling site after the winnings should be avoided.The gambler should get satisfied with the some dollars from the deposited dollars.If the gambler only target the huge dollars from the gambling site,then he should accept the risk of losing the holding dollars.The gamblers who play the gambling with more care will make the huge win in the gambling site.The gambler who doesn’t need any money winning from the gambling site may use the gambling site for the entertainment purpose.The old age gamblers will chose the gambling site only for the entertainment purpose.

It's not easy to always encourage self-control and discipline in gambling, but they have to do that if they still want to gamble and don't want to lose more. But only a few people are truly willing to exercise this self-control and discipline, while the rest continue to gamble based on their passions. It depends on how they want to try to control themselves while gambling and not think about winning or losing because when they think about those two things, there will be a desire to get it. It will be difficult because they have to try to control the turmoil within themselves so as not to be tempted by anything they see in gambling.

A gambler should be able to realize that he already has a problem with his gambling habits, but most gamblers will not realize it and just want to continue gambling. He can go to a rehabilitation center to ask about ways to avoid his urge to gamble, which he may be almost unable to control, so that he can immediately get treatment and also get help from experts. This is to prevent them from becoming addicted to gambling because many people do not even realize that they have a gambling addiction.

If we truly want a stability, we can start it by using a stable currency for gambling (something like USDT) or non-crypto payment methods because a volatile crypto can dump in price and it can be one of the reasons for us to continue playing, thinking we are still losing or our profit is not yet enough. No matter how much control we do, there will still be people who will judge us or they will judge gambling in a negative way but this is not our problem anymore if that is what they believe. We can just continue on what we doing.

This is right that when we are addicted, there is no pleasure that we can feel anymore. It is like our body and mind are numb but we can't stop doing it. It is more like a chore already but not beneficial.

It is true that the fluctuations on the price of bitcoin can affect us and we may modify the amount we gamble because of them, but we need to keep those thoughts away as those are two completely different matters, if the bitcoin that we are using to gamble is thought in that way and you begin to think about the fiat value you are earning or losing, then it is better to stop gambling with that money, as if you were to lose it, you will think about what you could have done with it if you invested it instead.

My friend Silberman is right: if you will start thinking "what if" in the case you gamble and lose cryptos which eventually increase in value, then it's better to simply gamble with fiat or stablecoins (stablecoins you swapped from cryptos which eventually increase in value? well, it would be a similar case, if you have a tendency to regret yourself for unforeseeable events, but it will create a little "screen" between you and the perception of opportunity cost).

Or better, exchange it first with something that we prefer so that we can avoid converting what we have lost or won over and over again.
This is why I switched to USDT from using Bitcoin too. It's always in my head and it stresses me out calculating everything that I may have lost. So if a gambler is always trying to do that, there's always the other way which is converting it to fiat first for an easier play time. That way, we are also avoiding those kinds of thoughts that may ruin our entertainment.

Also, by using that we can set our financial limitations without jeopardizing our investment if we like just keeping Bitcoin instead of gambling it.
This is one of the usual problems that I see with other gamblers. But if you are ready to spend Bitcoin in gambling but don't want to see it then gambling sites have the feature of just showing USD instead of Bitcoin although you are still spending Bitcoin in the process.
The price fluctuation cannot be prevented, many things are happening in the cryptocurrency industry, the better choice is to keep it and just use stable coins instead.

Yes,theory and practice are different and the way you go about them,that's what matters and mostly the practice aspect is the reality of life where you go into the field and executing what you've learnt.
In this area the tendency for winning is on a 50)50  basis.just like a doctor administering medications to a patient when it gets to the practical aspect where he will conduct an operation for instance,he will put is mind on it,cause any mistake he might definitely loose the patient.so it's applicable to gambling.

You saying practice is far beyond control,what are you trying to say,is it concerning the money use for staking or what or the way the game is played in the casinos..but one thing is that the practice on the field matters a lot and should be put on an active check.

But the use of cryptocurrency to gamble helps the growth of the currency. However, that won't stop the volatility of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies used in gambling. Most gamblers also enjoy using cryptocurrency to gamble because of the volatile benefits. The price could increase after winning big from gambling. So, it's a two-way street. What matters for players is the need to get hold of their actions. Not just depending on the price of cryptocurrency while gambling. Focusing on the outcome of the game and the profits and how to be in control while benefiting is a nice way of gambling, without facing many troubles. Hence, if a player is equipped with fiat, he can be playing with it and stack his cryptocurrency. Anyways the gambler needs to be responsible, if he's not, it'll be difficult for him to control both his fiat and cryptocurrency.

You first need to erase the idea of getting rich with gambling from your mind, to practice the act of responsible gambling is to expect too less of gambling.

After that, you can then proceed to using a certain sustainable amount only for gambling purpose, to keep this going for you for many years in the future you need to time yourself when gambling, what this will do is limit your attachment with gambling.

This is like a virus, because I have seem responsible gamblers going AWOL after few practices, and I figured out that they spent more time in gambling, you want to get rich? Look else where, have the hope of getting rich from something else, not gambling. If you can't do these it's better you leave gambling behind.

It is advisable, indeed, to plan ahead instead to simply gamble on the go (especially now, with greater availability thanks to smartphones, tablets...).

Once you are aware that gambling won't make you rich (except maybe lotteries in really exceptional cases; you can expect being struck by several lightning before that happens) and you set a maximum, sustainable budget, then limiting you attachment can be much more effective.

I agree with you in eliminating the idea of getting rich through gambling, as it will only add to the problems for those who try it. They will not be able to stop their gambling activities because they have not been able to earn much money. They will continue their gambling activities and will probably use more of their money to gamble until they can earn a lot of money. However, their desires will still be difficult to achieve because gambling is not a place to make money but only a place to have fun, so they have to think about not doing that. Otherwise, they will only lose even more money without being able to recover their losses. They should be able to gamble responsibly so that they can prevent more losses and also not experience gambling addiction problems as other people have experienced. However, we must prevent ourselves from experiencing problems from the gambling activities we do, and we can still enjoy gambling as entertainment.

Gambling with cryptocurrencies is indeed an unstable price and if you want stable prices you can use USDT, indeed gambling with cryptocurrencies is unstable when the price goes down it can make us think that we are continuing to experience losses even though it is caused by the price going up and down currency that we use, but in my opinion using a cryptocurrency like BTC is not a big problem, even if it goes down it won't be a significant decline and even if you want to use USDT that's okay, it's up to the user, the most important thing is to keep doing it within reasonable limits.

There is no meaningful enjoyment if we are addicted to gambling because what we are chasing is no longer pleasure but chasing endless losses if we don't stop immediately or have it handled by a professional person because stopping addiction is not easy. Therefore we should not ignore the things that make us addicted to gambling and we are not careless and become irresponsible when gambling because this can prevent us from becoming addicted to gambling.

You're correct if you want to gamble responsible you need to forget about getting rich quick from gambling, when you're too interested in getting rich you won't be enjoying yourself but always make decisions that you'll think will make you rich but it won't and you'll keep losing money. Getting rich quick mindset will make you to become an addicted gambler as you'll be gambling more than you are supporting tinbe gambling. Gamble should be for entertainment purpose mainly.

Gambling with small staked amount is a good way to gambling responsible, when you're gambling with small staked amount you won't be over staking and it will reduce the chances of you running out of cash to gamble. Most gamblers get too greedy and want to win big bet therefore they use big stakes but end up losing it and some of them repeat this practice which makes them to go broke very quickly.

Can also add the following from the list:

• Self awareness - be mindful of emotions and motivations
• Taking breaks - give self some time to prevent burnouts and clear mind
• Accept losses to avoid chasing loss by increasing bets
• know when to stop - set boundaries and do not let it consume you

Gambling to get rich quick has been the cause of many problem gambling cases in the industry. The more players want to hit the jackpot and live their dream life, the more their losses compile. Such gamblers hardly stop at gambling when their money exhausts, they go as hard as taking bigger loans to be able to achieve their dreams. It's a mental disorder and happens so fast in the brain of the gamblers. The need to control our emotions and fantasies for winning big, should be there in the gambler's thoughts. However, the problem most other addicts had before addiction was seeing other gamblers win the jackpot and living the life they wanted to live. Such things don't define a true gambler, who wants to have fun and feel entertained for gambling. That's why such gamblers end up in a wrong side of the game, because the route they follow is not quite the right one.

People who are thinking about getting luck from gambling should immediately forget about it because it will only give them problems, and the problems can become bigger if they really lose control of themselves. And the more people who try to chase the jackpot, they will only experience more and more losses and there is a possibility that they will also run out of money. They will also lose control of themselves, will experience lots of problems and will even become addicted to gambling. If they think about taking out a loan so they can continue gambling, it will only be in vain because the borrowed money can be used up for gambling, and they will have difficulty paying their debts. When they run out of money, they experience a gambling addiction, which will only make them want to gamble again and take loans from other people. Such a cycle must be broken by realizing that they must reduce their gambling activities so that they do not have serious problems.
