We have here below listed few advises for different occasions that we recommend you to keep in mind while playing casino games online.

Set limits for your gambling

One of the most important parts when you´re gambling online, is that you set some kind of limits before you start playing. If you´ve set up limits beforehand, you will reduce the risk that you will continue playing with money you can´t afford.

You can set it up by for example amount of money spent or also amount of time spent. If you for example set up a 10€ / day limit, or 70€ / week limit, you will then stop playing when your budget has exceeded. Or you can also set it up by hours per day, for example maximum one hour can be spent on online casinos / day.

Many of the online casinos also offer you different kind of tools to prevent gambling addiction. You can for example set up different limits on your own gaming account. You often have the chance to set up limits for the deposit amount on daily, weekly and monthly basis.

This is a great tool to keep track on your money that you´ve spent in the casino. The amount can usually be reduced instantly but if you want to increase the amount that you´ve set as a limit, you usually have few days’ consideration time before the new increased limit actually is working. Also if you request to remove the deposit limits you have to wait few days. The same goes for the time spent in the online casino, you have the chance to set up limits also for this.

We suggest you to set up these above mentioned limits if you feel that you´re about to become addicted to the gambling.
