Take a tip from us and keep your online gambling within limits

As part of our online casino tips page we would like to remind casino players that addiction can be a problem. There is no doubt that online gambling just like alcohol or tobacco can be addictive for some people but having said that not everybody that likes a drink is an alcoholic and not everybody that likes a cigarette finds it impossible to do without. An online casino tip therefore is to play with moderation and for enjoyment. If you go out (or stay at home for that matter) and have a few drinks with your friends you know it is going to cost some money but it is worth it; the same attitude should be applied to online casino gambling except of course that you cannot be sure it will cost money, you just might make money instead especially if you follow some of our casino game specific online casino tips. Of course online casinos have an edge and if you gamble you must accept that making a loss is sometimes part of the equation so it might cost money but on the other hand nobody loses all the time. We have several gambling tips for particular games on this site which will help your winning chances but if you feel unable to control your gambling because you get carried away a bit there are lots of ways that you can put voluntary limits on yourself in an online casino. As one casino tip for example you can restrict yourself to a deposit limit in any 24 hour period. If you put a reasonable limit on yourself the online casino will not allow you to deposit more than you have specified and even if you want to change your limit there is  a cooling off period to prevent you doing it immediately. We often mention the casino tip about not drinking too much whilst gambling and it is partly for this reason that the online casino will not let you increase your limits immediately. Online casinos have an obligation to prevent addiction so as well as complying with your requests they will also monitor gambling patterns but of course they have no idea of your financial position so they cannot determine if gambling is likely to be an issue or not. If you do not feel comfortable that you can and are managing your online casino gambling there is plenty of help available just as there is for alcoholics. Owning up to and facing the problem is the hardest bit. Enjoy your play at online casinos but keep it within the realms of fun that you can afford.
