How To Stop Gambling: One Step Between Harmless & An Addiction

Now, hitting that stellar progressive jackpot could be a matter of just minutes. Before you do though, if there is one advice to take from us, it is to be responsible about gaming. People who drove themselves to the edge (often literally) are the living proof of the fact that not approaching gambling seriously can put you in terrible danger.

Online gambling is also a risk factor, because people are often alone when they play, which makes them more vulnerable. We have listed tips on how to stay safe here that you must stick to if you are going to do better than gambling with your life.

In A Few Words

Set your budget to a certain value and walk away when you’re done. It’s a good idea to get a separate card, which is in no way connected to the account that holds your rent money/your kids’ University money. When you run out, there is no temptation to spend more (or means to do it).

Obviously, you already know this, but just to be sure: pick casinos that offer top of the range security. There are all sorts of casinos out there, and some of them are more established than others and have put more money into management. SSL security is usually considered the best, although there are different types. Make sure there are additional security measures, even if that means spending extra time surfing the web, and get the best package (same as with bonuses). The first thing about your bank roll is going to be protecting it well. Our website provides selected, reputable and well-audited casinos you can choose for a long-term partnership.

Think about introducing multiple security procedures yourself. Is your password safe? The recommendation is, of course, never to write it down, but don’t make it too complicated to remember. Recovering it may be a lengthy process due to the reasons outlined above (especially if you forget your keyword or don’t update the technical details in time, like address and phone number). We knew a guy who had three pieces of paper with wrong PIN in his wallet where his credit card was, just in case the thief tried to get into his finances. That’s genius! That’s the level of planning we want your mental processes to be.

Make sure you protect your phone with face recognition, patterns, and fingerprint analysis as well as password (plus passwords for applications). Just stick to good companies that really work on their phones (face recognition software is still new to the market and can glitch on some phones).

When you transfer your money, don’t ask some guy with heavy tattoos of Death on his face to get it across deserts on a donkey’s back. Think reputable payment solutions that have been around for a while – like PayPal.
