It can be easy to spend more money than planned while playing online, but it is possible to stay within a fairly tight budget and still have a great deal of fun, enjoying the cut and thrust of play, the buzz of winning cash, and the sense of accomplishment at setting your wits against other players and coming out on top. Here are some tips to have a great time and only spend a tenner!
One for Money, Two for the Fun
Very few people can gamble a lot and end up on top. This is especially true of online games where the odds of winning mean that you must win approximately two-thirds of the time simply to break even. Know this fact and accept it before you start playing, and write off any funds that you have paid into the site as an expense. If you think of it as paying to play for fun, you can enjoy the games for their own sake – and if you do happen to win, it is even sweeter, coming as a pleasant surprise.
Set a Timer!
If you are one of those players who become obsessed with the games, wanting to keep on going during a winning streak, and reluctant to leave during a run of losses – after
all, your luck could change to good after just one more roll of the dice or spin of the wheel! – then train yourself to stop playing before you get stressed and upset.
As soon as the timer goes off, finish the game you are playing and log off immediately. If you 'forget' that the timer has sounded during the completion of the game, next time, log off in the middle of a game, even if you are winning. It will not be long before the sound of the timer is a trigger to the obsessive side of you to stop playing for now.
An additional benefit of doing this is that you will enjoy your shorter play times more – and you will have more time for your family or other activities!
Free Roll
Most online casino sites have occasional freeroll games in which players can win money without paying to play. These are either at a set time, with a few games being eligible, or they feature new or unpopular games as the site tries to get more people to give them a try. Playing freerolls – and winning a few pennies – is a great way to boost your deposit and keep you playing for longer. Plus, of course, there is the thrill of getting that rarest of things: something for nothing! Looking for mobile casino offers has the same effect and can be a great way to give you more incentive to come back and play again soon, or to keep playing and extend your current play session.
Finally, choose to play low stakes games in which you wager just a few pennies each time. In this way, even a modest deposit of ten pounds will fund a lot of play time and give you maximum satisfaction for your investment.
