Problem Gambling

Most casinos will allow you to “self-ban” yourself.  Just write to the customer service email of the online casino you frequent.  Explain that you are a problem gambler and need a self imposed ban.  Most casinos will lock your account and keep you from entering. 

Gambling online should be a source of entertainment and a good time.  Money deposited should be money you can afford to lose.  For many people, they need every single dime, and spending time at an online casino is NOT an affordable recreational activity.  

Think of gambling as going to the movies.  After you watch the movie, you leave, and expect nothing in return.  You could afford the cost of admission, and the popcorn, and chalk up the expense as having a good time.  Same hold true for gambling.  Responsible gamblers set a limit on what they will spend, and generally understand that they will lose.  They have fun trying, and if they win, they pocket the money and know when to leave the gambling site a winner!

Are you a problem gambler?

Gambling is a fun way to pass the time, but if you are a problem gambler, please read this special message:      

For most people, gambling is like drinking, it’s a good way to relax, unwind, have some fun, and try your luck.  But for others, online gambling is an addiction, and can lead to very serious problems and consequences.  Most people can handle it, some cannot. 

This site is for those who want to learn about online bonus offers made by operators of casinos, sports books, and poker rooms.  Usually, individuals arrive at this site with the intention of gambling, and we try to recommend the best places to go to get a good bonus.  But we do not recommend that anybody actually gambles.  We do not assess anybody ability to gamble responsibility, that is left up to the adult individual. 

We would however be remiss if we did not have something for a person visiting our site who may have a problem with gambling.  If you think you might have a problem, then you probably do.  Here are some questions to ask yourself: 

Are you only gambling with money you can afford to lose?

Are you using revolving credit or taking loans to pay for gambling?

Are you trying to solve your financial problems by hoping for a big win?

Are you lying to yourself and others about your losses?

Are you stealing from love ones, friends, and others to pay for your habit?

Do you regularly gamble to relieve stress?

Do you gamble at work or in places where you should not?

Do you honestly believe you can win repeatedly over time?

Are you in debt, have serious money problems, and/or using funds meant for other important expenses?

Are you losing sleep because of gambling?

Do you have trouble with your family and friends over your gambling?

These are just some of the questions you should ask yourself.  If you have a problem, there are resources that can help, and we highly recommend you use them.

We cannot stress this point enough, if you have a problem with online gambling, do yourself and your family a favor, and get the help you need.  Casinos are for profit business that are by design created to make money.  A few will win, some will break even, but most will lose and lose big.  Even if you’re lucky in the beginning, the casino establishments in the end will get it all back and much more if you don’t have the self discipline to know when to say when.  Gambling is not a solution for your problems.
