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  Smiley
  • Setting myself a gambling goal
  • I Bet small  (don't blow all your money at once)
  • I practice gambling with friends  Grin
  • Set time limits and walk away  Roll Eyes

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  Huh 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 am not a frequent gambler. Usually when we talk about being secure is be secured from getting hacked. I read your points and it reminded me of my first play with bustadice. Though i was loosing a little while learning , I boldly took a step forward betting with more bucks carefully and earned

I would say that the easiest way to keep tabs and control on gambling is kick starting the game with the right motive which was what the op has mentioned as number one. See gambling as a game of fun and not a source of income. I think this first idea help make setting limits and staying by it so easy.

Gambling is fun, once you win, celebrate it and avoid the mistake of playing again to win more and once a loss is made, let go and don’t  have the mind of a comeback to recover, this is what causes people to become addicted gamblers. And its necessary to have self control because the game can be so interesting and at the same time addictive, so it takes self-control to set rules and abide by the rules.

I thank God for the intervention of friends who called my attention to it that I was gradually on the way to addition,  that was when I stepped down. I think greed is really bad for gambling

Oh wow, that's a positive and interesting point turn of events to what could have easily gone the other way as well.  With the right support system, some do get the chance to step back and change course.  Recently here in the U.K, there is talk of changes to the laws on fixed-odds betting.  Which is like a massive problem here and in other countries i imagine.  Funny enough, not everyone is happy with the change in law whereby maximum stake on fixed odd betting terminals is now £2.  Apparently those terminals generate over £400 million in taxes alone  Huh Huh for the government.

Greed has a major part of affecting those who enter gambling with a right mindset, except it is well controlled. some players claim they are playing for fun and when they make a little win, they become so excited and start playing more because they intend to win more and with time they would forget all the set rules and regulations of the game. Anyone who is does  not have self control will have problems with gambling, better to work on this.

Gambling is a game of fun and whatever fun that is done without control can also lead to addiction, so it is possible to play for fun with all set rules and still end up addicted if not controlled. For me I play for fun and I set limit when playing and irrespective of how the game might unfold, I don’t exceed my limit.
Yes, there was a point I was really having fun gambling, and sincerely I had the game in mind as a game for entertainment and I think luck was greatly on my side, I realized I was always winning and instead of keeping it, that was when greed stepped in, I started to increase the bets because I needed to make more and with time all what I had won was lost and I kept on playing because I want to recover again, and I realized the losses where compiling.

Whatever you are saying is quite easy to say, but trust me its extremely hard to execute.
Gambling for Fun - Not to Win Money  Smiley
Then gamble on sites that use virtual currency and has no value at all. Again, if you start winning, you will no longer gamble for fun rather to gain profits.
Setting myself a gambling goal
Those goals are the real problem. People starts to gamble more after losing to reach those goals!
Set time limits and walk away  Roll Eyes

You slowly start to increase those limits without even realizing and eventually you become an addict.

What I am trying to say is that, there is no such thing as gambling for fun. If you want to do something for fun, there are plenty of ways other than gambling.

that is if a gambler is playing for fun but the truth is that most of the gamblers are only playing because they want to earn quick and easy profits  .

Then they make a mistake if they think gambling is a way to earn quick money and easy profit and I think they need to change their mind, so they don't have to lose much money.

if  a gambler is playing for fun he or she will always comeback because having fun is highly addictive  . gambling will stick to your brain causing you to think  it at all times but if you have a controll , you wont get addicted  .

As long as they have a control for themselves, they don't have to worry from addicted because they can know the time to quit gambling and they will have that power to stop the games in anytime.

why limit your self ? if you are having fun and or if you are winning its okay to try again  . youl never know maybe you can win again  or maybe you can enjoy more  . just dont overdo it  .

I limit myself is because I don't want to lose much money and besides that, I don't think that in the next rolls I will win because the luck cannot be predicted when it's on my side and when it's leaving me.

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.


Ofcourse gamblers gamble for money just like most people in any other kind of business.  Few actually combine fun and monetary rewards.  I think this set of people (those gambling for rewards and fun) could end making a career out of skill based gambling



There's some who are really making this two combined, they able to enjoy while playing smartly with their money, outcome is different when you value money and outsmart your emotions, by the way it's really entertaining when you are winning while enjoying your stay.

The only problem that I see with online gambling is its accessibility. This factor alone is both a positive and a negative factor depending on one's perspective. Compared to casinos, online gambling provides convenience and flexibility since it can be accessed solely on the internet. But the problem lies on temptation. If a person is on withdrawal, he/she is one click away from gambling again.

Although this may be viewed as something negative, the positive effect outweighs the negative implications. View gambling as a form of entertainment and not as something that you should rely your daily-monthly income.

This is far much easier said than done. Bitcoin gambling can easily fall out of control, and bad habits quickly turn into addiction. I think no gambling is better than little.

In order to cure addiction, a gradual withdrawal is needed. The hobby must be switched into something recreational that distracts the mind from accessing it. With the emergence of online casinos, people are most likely tempted as it is one click away.

..it is very simple..don't make yourself addictive in gambling.. Grin
..gamble for fun and not for winning..for the more you crave for win,when you lost the more you will bet high which cause you to gamble much and worst lost all that you have..
..make sure that you have set the money that you are afford to lose..
..have peace on your mind while do gambling so that you can think better strategies in playing..

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.
This is debatable. I would love to know how do you allot percentages of 75% and 25% to the respective categories in Poker. What if someone does not believe in luck and consider it a matter of all experience and handwork ?

Moreover, I agree with your rules thing because you have to have set rules to get the purpose oriented results that is never possible when it comes to a game played without rules. Being sensible and gambling are two different extremes and we cannot be sure about always being sensible for a thing which is known for fading away our brain. Yes, I refer the excitements of gambling Wink.

If for example I have never met a bad experience during my gambling habits, maybe I can't do what I did these days. Right now, I always bet every time I have spare money and definitely I use only small part of it. If I lose it all, then I will stop gambling until I have another small capital from my spare money. Sometimes I'm also lucky and able to withdraw my profits. I will try to keep stable with my plans as long as I can.
Don't plan if you do gamble when it comes to making stable profits on it but if those plans in regards with self control then it would be a big help.Always play gambling
with full control not only to yourself but also into your emotions because if you cant control these both things then expect on what would happen.

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


Yeah every gamblers there have an own rules how to control itself,  self discipline is one of the keys to follow and avoid addction. And I really agree gambling isn't only for fun people play gamble because of money goal.

Addiction can be trace from the act of gambling insecurely and insensibly online even at the traditional level. The more reason why young people have rising gambling addiction as at today is as result of not knowing their limit while on gambling platform. Gamble securely, gamble sensibly and be free from gambling addiction.

When we are playing gambling, we need to have control ourselves, and the OP has a great example that every gambler should have. They need always to remember that gambling as a fun thing and not a way to search for money.

Gambling will always attract people to come back, but if you have good control in yourself, then it would not be a problem for you. You can always know that for playing gambling, you don't need to play in a long time because you only search for the fun. And when you think that it is enough to play, you can quit from gambling in anytime.

I always watching myself in gambling and no matter if I win or lose, I can walk away from gambling places without having a passion for keeping playing. It is hard for the first time, but as long as you can know that you have control for your body and mind, then you can visit gambling place in anytime and quit it anytime too.
