Gambling securely and sensibly online

[llyfee4u]

For most people (myself included), gambling at online casino's is a harmless pass time fun activity, but of course it can become a problem for many.   IMO, to lessen the risk of becoming a problem gambler, there are certain things i bear in mind such as,

• Gambling for Fun - Not to Win Money  
• Setting myself a gambling goal
• I Bet small  (don't blow all your money at once)
• I practice gambling with friends  
• Set time limits and walk away  

Many of these are easier said than done of course but it might be worth noting.   Online gambling is probably the best thing to happen since sliced bread   and i'm not saying these points could or would work for everyone but they might help in enjoying gambling in a healthy, financially sensible way.

I'm interested to know how you keep tabs and control on your gambling to make sure that one does not become a compulsive gambler or problem gambler.

i go by my rules, which change on different games but the general idea is to set a min. balance that you can go and the realistic money goal
once i hit one of them i quit

I believe this kind of topic has been discussed many times before and the main idea of all above points is "self control". Once you have good self control, you wont be addicted even if you gamble regularly.

to see those replies which would definitely answer or satisfy your questions on mind. Gambling sensibly might be easy as it sounds when you are
already in the middle then everything will surely change.

Set time limits and at the same time, set gambling amount. Whenever you win a decent amount, take a rest and exit for that day.

Yes, self control would be the summary of it.

[traderethereum]

The most important thing you should have in gambling game is controlling yourself. Nothing else. By controlling yourself, you will be able to know when it's time to quit, how much money you can use in the bets and else. Controlling yourself will not easy to do because you need to have a strong mind to be able to stop in anytime.

Self constraint is the biggest asset when it comes to gambling. If you are able to not chase your losses, not gamble when drunk or sleepy. Get some statistics and look at the odds on different platforms and decide accordingly, then you can be profitable. It is very hard though as greed pretty much always kicks in.

Honestly, i find online gambling as more tempting and harder to control than of physical casinos. It is because of the convinience it brings that you can even gamble by lying on bed. Multiple accessibilities can literaly makes quitting harder. So if you dont want to get addict, better play moderately.

[swogerino]

Every one should set his own rules.I have my own rules which are very simple, when playing slots or dice I have a very small amount of money available to play.

Whenever I play poker which I consider a game of skill at 75% and 25% luck I play without any limitation because I am in control.

Rules should be like an access list , they should define what you can and can't do in order to minimize risk of getting addicted.

• Set time limits and walk away  

There are gamblers who can't just walk away from that easily. Some do walk away while others walk away and are back again to play on the same day. It's really hard for some gamblers to control themselves when they are in a deep loss. They say that gambling takes away time and setting up a time limit will not be taken into consideration by gamblers.

  that is called addiction. When you don't have control against a habit, that simply means you are addicted to that. Just like smokers, until they are remedied from the act by a certain circumstances.

If you are able to set time limit and not go over it again, then you are not a gambler

Addiction to gambling will come as a result of indiscipline on the part of the gambler. Have been into gambling and have always gamble responsibly watching my addiction level offcourse. Self discipline have save many gambler from heart attack and high blood pressure, so, for an individual to gamble securely and sensibly online, s/he must adopt the self discipline methodology.

Well, for most people they don't really know what is a play for fun because they seriously caught up in gambling. Gambling is not meant to be played to make some money but to play and enjoy the game without losing everything in it. It is a dangerous idea if someone had to push their luck just because they want to follow their losses.

[eternalgloom]

I tend to just quit gambling when I feel that I'm gambling too much.
I've lost a couple times lately and decided that I'm going to quit gambling for a couple of weeks at least.

I don't have any issues with quitting over an extended period of time, I think it really helps prevent me getting addicted.

In my country, gambling is prohibited. That is why i don't have choice to gambling online and with Bitcoin, it can be really helpful for me. Only bet on sportsbet mostly glad not make me addicted because not like dice or casino games, it can make people keep curious how to win and get addicted.

That's what bitcoin brings to the table not just in gambling but in many forms of transaction. No need for any card numbers, no need ids, no need for facial verification. You only have your random wallet address which makes it more secure than any regular gambling site's security protocol.

Indeed, this kind of rule is very common in everyone's mind, but it is a very good thing to anticipate future risks if you do it on an ongoing basis, I just suggest not gambling often because it will be dangerous and not make gambling the main income for only a few people who benefit from those who succeed in gambling, articles like this are worth sharing because they remind each other that it's good.

This your own experience on gambling usage but here nothing explained about the gambling security or sense kind of things.


All the gamblers need to have 2FA or any other available security features while they gamble on any sites. Always keep checking the support team if you miss any fund while are gambling check whether they are paying in few minutes or long hours.

Always set up limits on your funds and just bring the money that is solely budgeted for your gambling needs and dont go overboard incase you had lost it all.

Dont try to chase loses(which is a common advise) but the hardest thing to resist when you are playing and you know that you still have some money left on your pocket.

The question still remains "if we can play gambling for fun"? It seems very difficult because of the money involved as is going to remain the game of the rich if it is just for fun.  I believe that about 80% of gamblers do gamble because to win and become rich through luck.
