The idea is good, it will help gamblers not to be addicted, but we need to act on it, not just read it.
For some gamblers, although they can know what to do to be safe in gambling, but they still allow themselves to be aggressive.
When you are aggressive on winning, you are also risking big money in gambling, and eventually there is a chance
that will loss control and might spend bigger than you are suppose to spend.

These are all good points but it's hard to keep up and follow, this because in the back of our minds, there is a thought that must strike while the iron is still hot, and there's always a tendency to get back what you lose in the previous, it just goes on and on until you become addicted.

Very true indeed.   To an extent, our individuality plays a big role in how we handle the 'play for fun' narrative.   If i should use myself as an example, i get easily excited but not so easily discouraged.   I find in most cases, the means if i win a bet, i'm likely to go even bigger (dangerous i know) whereas, if i lose, there is that feeling of 'i'll win the next one', and then it just goes on and on like you say. 

Even though i know 'walking away' is a very important aspect in gambling, i feel it is perhaps the most difficult one.

I set aside a small monthly budget that I use for gambling with my Bitcoin.
I send those coins to a temporary blockchain wallet and then will send them to a casino
At no point do I try to make up for lost wagers by chasing and sending more coins to the casino.
As long as I can maintain this types of control I dont see a problem with my habit.

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.  
Gamble for fun not for win it is also what I believe .
I gamble to relieve some stress but sometimes it is the other way around 😂 .
It is alway better to limit yourself when it comes to gambling,
You should know when to quit don't be too greedy or else you would only lose it all.

Considering gambling to be fun is possible, to the same one should have the clear understanding about the flaws one does with gambling. When one has got the ability to follow the steps provided by Op it'll get us with the easy access and minimize the losing which is the one that eliminates the fun mood of an user.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

  • Set time limits and walk away  Roll Eyes

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.

 Roll Eyes Grin 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  Grin

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.

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.

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.
