Responsible betting: How to Set limits

Betting online or playing games at a casino is fun! But it should be an occasional and enjoyable activity!

However, some players may find it difficult to control and set up limits on their gaming activity. The BET99 team shows below some simple methods to set your own limits.

Limit your practice

Setting limits to your online gambling or sports betting is a basic rule to avoid worries. Thus, allocating time to enjoy your online games and bets will allow you to have a structure and a framework, essential elements in this virtual world.

One of the reasons you need to set strict rules is that one of the pitfalls is spending a lot of time playing and losing a lot of money. That means you will have to limit your time and money spending and stick to them.

Special hours

You will have to make sure that you stick to the predefined hours because it will offer you several advantages when playing or betting online, such as: 

  • No doubt about an overbid after the predefined time  

  • Discount  

  • Saving money as the budget is also predefined      

You will no longer have time to procrastinate and spend many hours behind your screen betting. 

Allocate a predefined budget

One of the most important things you can do to keep your conscience afloat is to set a daily, weekly, or monthly budget that you don't want to exceed. 

Saying that you will play, for example, this amount per week and no more and sticking to it is very important to bet responsibly.    

By setting yourself a budget/schedule and committing never to exceed it, you will have plenty of time to enjoy betting and try to win your bets. 

Signs of gambling addiction

Signs of nervousness or stress can appear when you are addicted to online betting or online casino games.   

Becoming isolated, not having an active life, appearing nervous or annoyed are strong signals that you should cut down on online gambling.   

Constantly thinking about gambling and the results of your online bets is also a strong sign that you need to slow down your online betting and implement the solutions we mentioned above.
