Now, if you still want to gamble but you don't want to become addicted to it, one of the things you should do in my opinion is:

1. Only set aside an amount of money that you will use to gamble in a casino.
2. Don't think that you will gamble to make money, because if you do that, you will surely have a problem later.
3. Just spend a few hours staying in a casino to gamble so you can avoid what you don't realize is wasting time that you should be spending on important things instead of gambling.

[jrrsparkles]

Apart from the gambling budget it is also important to allocate a limited amount of time for your gambling activities. By setting a time limit, you can ensure that you don't spend excessive amounts of time gambling and prioritize other important aspects of your life.

Also Avoid chasing losses cause it is the beginning stage of getting addicted to gambling and Don't Use Gambling as an Escape from any of your problems especially when it related to your financial status.

When people have found pleasure in playing gambling, they will find it hard to stop gambling. Maybe they can manage their gambling time, but to stop their gambling activities, they need more than just confiding in others because this involves realizing what they get from gambling. Maybe they don't think about gambling or winning games but they want to keep going back to gambling but in a different game. And if they find a new game in the casino, they will be interested in trying it.

If you really want to stop gambling, you need to have a strong desire and have to do other activities that can take your mind off gambling. Many people have tried it but still have much to learn to get used to it. This habit is still difficult to start regularly, especially if they have often played gambling.

OP, you have stated the important measures a gambler needs to stick to. Some gamblers don't even think that they are addicted to gambling, maybe because they don't chase their losses but because they spend too much time on the casino gambling for fun. Before they will know it they have lost so much.

3.This is why I think that having a time frame for your gambling activities is very important for you to stay safe from addiction. Gamble for fun and don't gamble for funds

These points are good but very difficult to keep to.  Setting out money aside for gambling is as good as telling a smoker to reduce the amount of cigarettes to take by himself. These actually need a pressure to achieve. A gambler that has money in his account after losing a bet has that drive to try again.

It is every gambler delight to make money from it. So it is worthy to note because this is the primary aim to gamble and that is why it is difficult to spend a short time on it but agreed the lesser time you spend in gambling, the gradual your interest in gambling diminishes. I believe this aspect that if you want to stop gambling then start reducing the amount of time you give to gambling.

[kingvirtus09]

What you said op is correct about the opinions you mentioned, but as others have said, that is not easy to do especially if a gambler has been playing in a casino for a long time. Because of course they are used to that routine gambling, so what will happen is that they will have an adjustment time for the routine they are used to. But when they are also used to that, for sure that will improve the situation of what they will do as a responsible gambler for sure in the end.

[Nrcewker]

Gambling becomes addictive for those who have plenty of money. A middle-class man only gambles in order to earn some extra income. If he becomes addicted and keeps on losing, then definitely a point will come when he won’t have enough funds to gamble further, and automatically his addiction will also get over. Yes, the points mentioned in the OP are good, but some gamblers will deny following them. Gambling addiction is seen only in rich people. For them, gambling is like winning. For them, the money doesn’t matter. I would suggest everyone gamble only within their limits.

[rhomelmabini]

I think for me the answer is to not quit, you may pause to do gambling but sooner when you want to come back you have the lessons of the past rather than just quiting instantly. I tried that before but it's not that easy I'd rather have some mitigation plan rather than quiting immediately. Gambling might seems bad but it's not if you take it on moderation.

[$crypto$]

We often talk about addiction, but is playing games not creating problems in your life or family? If it's okay then it's not really an addiction you can still control especially if you can still provide for your family from other income.

I know some of the points above are important, I don't really think about it because I am still responsible in other jobs that can produce for family needs while gambling when there is money left over, then I do it including in the results of the signature campaign some are used for gambling that is not every day.

The point is that you are ready to take responsibility if you lose, you don't create problems in your life because of gambling.

You said it very well, apart from setting out a certain budget for gambling in order to moderate your gambling habit. You also need to set a limited time for gambling maybe twice in a week preferably weekends. This will make you not to spend more time gambling. The more you spend time gambling, the more addicted you become to it because it is natural. Whatever you do often become part of you.

Then finally chasing losses is another thing that leads to gambling addiction. If you take gambling as fun and not for a professional job when you lose it will not pain you much.

I think only the first one is a true advice because as long as you recognize the problem this is a good first step in what to do next.Professional help is needed only when you are in extreme level of addiction that you need to go in a rehab center as the only solution to your problem,to confide in a loved one is a double edged sword as it can go right but can also go extremely wrong so I would remove this option.Adjust as needed is what I really do right now,meaning when I see I am losing a lot in slots I keep placing small sport bets as a hobby,I don't lose money and I keep myself entertained.

[SamReomo]

Well, it's always advisable to only gamble with the money that wont affect your life even if you lose it. Gambling is a very strange type of entertainment and those people who have no luck or they are not lucky, then they will not gain any profits in the world of gambling. That's why if those people set a amount limit during their gambling session then their losses will not impact their lives.

The second point is also right because gambling isn't a field to make money, and especially for those who would want it to be their main source of income. The gamblers on some days can earn quite good amount of money while on some days they will lose a lot of money. It's always important for a gambler to set limit on their gambling activities on those days when they have more losses than wins.

The third point need to be changed a little because those who spend few hours are day on a casino often get addicted to it and that's why it's important to limit your daily gambling duration in minutes instead of hours. If you love gambling and enjoy casino sites then I think 40-80 minutes per day is more than enough, and more than that would be the misuse of time.

[Taskford]

If you want gamble but don't want to get addicted on the game you must bare some proper emotional displacement and always follow the rules you set for yourself since if you just joking around and exceed to the limits then you are not doing any good then later on you might be on bad position.
Next is to have set allocated funds so that if you drain it you should never put any amount just to chase back and erase any revenge thoughts since this will never result to any good returns to us.

This doesn't seem like good list of tips for gambling addicts. I guess that you are targeting the newbie gamblers, who want to stay safe from getting addicted.
A true gambling addict cannot gamble moderately and cannot "spend a few hours in a casino".
The only solution for gambling addicts is to stop gambling completely and find hobbies, that are more productive and don't require money.
Of course, getting rid of addiction is a long and hard process, which requires help from friends and family.

Staying as a responsible gambler that's in control of his gambling life is one stride every gambling which to achieve and maintain. The three aforementioned above are tied to discipline, how in charge you are in conducting yourself to not go beyond the amount you have set aside for gambling. Not chasing loss cause you have to make money which will probably keep you all day gambling wasting away quality time.

Of all that was said from the quote you made and referenced together with the one you give by yourself, i only find out your own points are more effective than what others said concerning avoid gambling, yours talk more about the steps in action to take to curb or stop any further attempts in doing what one is already used to, abstainance is one of the key way to get someone disciplined on a particular aspect, then you will try to look for an alternative means to exchange the addiction with by introducing something else to get busy with and the gambler could always gets occupied.

If you are not into deep gambling or you are not addicted some of this can be done, in fact by just even minimizing your time in a casino you can easily stop your urge to gamble, but if you're addicted you need help from your loved one and professional help, addiction has level and the cure depends on the level of its addiction a professional will laid out a plan to stop the urge from within to gamble, its a plan to eradicate the urge to gamble and it takes time and effort from the part of the patient.

<snip>

It's easy to say, but it is hard to do, especially if the person is already addicted. It could be done little by little. There's no need to remove it from that person's system in one snap.

If you find yourself addicted to gambling, try doing something that brings you joy. Instead of playing, you can watch other people stream their gambling sessions. It somehow helps and gives you the same satisfaction that you get when you're playing.

The truth that most of us are diving away from is what you just said. The only solution to addiction is to stop and engage yourself in something meaningful. Family and friends actually have important role to play to help fight against addiction through financial support with strict monitoring, advice and spend time with the victim in order to take their mind off gambling. Some wealthy family set up store and other business ventures that will keep the victim busy.

However, fighting addiction is a game of mind that only the gambler can determine if they are ready to stop being addictive or not.

[BitDane]

It is really interesting to know that there are people giving their side of thoughts in order to give gamblers advice when they are having difficulty to prevent themselves from gambling.  Though I would say it always ends up on the personal discipline and self control, these few advises can make people thinks another means or reason for them to stop gambling and if they failed to, the latter advise of keeping oneself loses to minimum is also a good alternative option.
