Keep it fun
- Playing at an online casino is primarily entertainment. Despite the fact that you can win money from it, you should never think of it as a substitute for a job. Think of it as a visit to amusement park or football match.
- Play only with money you can afford to miss. That way, winning is a bonus and you can’t lose more than you can afford.
- Don’t gamble when you are not happy. Gambling does not solve problems.
Stay in control
- Make sure you do other things too. Even though gambling is exciting and fun, there are also many other fun things to do. So don’t play every day.
- Don’t try to win back your losses. The moment you start trying to win back your losses you lose control. Always keep control of your playing behaviour.
- Play at a trusted casino. Constantly chasing a new casino’s bonus can quickly lead to losing control and more importantly; your trusted casino knows you and can therefore take your playing behaviour into account.
Take a break
- Take a break every now and then. Playing without breaks is dangerous and makes you less sharp. If you take a break every now and then, you will see that you make better decisions.
- Know your limits and stick to them. If you feel your limits are coming into view take a break.
