Change Gambling to Gaming
One of the first steps towards responsible gambling is to change one’s mindset so that gambling becomes gaming. When a gamer does that, he or she will be a lot more likely to follow healthy and responsible gaming practices.
They will set responsible time and money budgets for gaming; they will play a number of different games so that they feel like they are gaming and not gambling; they will play in Everygame Casino’s free play mode rather than deposit more money if their money runs out; and they will never allow themselves to fall into gambling traps such as expecting an outcome that is in no way guaranteed; they will never allow themselves to use a betting system; and they will view online casino gaming at Everygame Casino as one of many happy and responsible activities they do.
Let’s take a closer look at these parameters.
Setting Responsible Budgets
Responsible people set budgets for many things from rent or mortgage payments to car payments, to food, restaurants, travel, clothes, hobbies, and a lot more.
Setting sound budgets is one of the ways responsible people can be viewed in contrast to others who gamble on many things, not just on casino games.
What is a Sound Time Limit in Online Casino Gaming?
An online casino is always open. That means that gamers should feel no pressure at all to “stay on the casino floor” in order to get their money’s worth of the costs of getting to a land-based casino. The difference in costs here can be staggering: zero costs to get to Everygame Online Casino and hundreds of dollars in costs to get to and stay at a land-based casino!
Responsible gaming begins with not spending money getting to a casino!
Responsible gaming means gaming with money you have earmarked for that purpose.
How to Set up a Sound Money Budget
The second item above speaks about money earmarked for that purpose. Gaming should be like anything else a person budgets money for. People save money for a down payment on a house or a car. Gamers should start out budgeting a small amount for gaming and can grow that amount if they find that they can safely afford to do so.
It is not likely that a gamer will know exactly how much to budget for online casino gaming art first. That is why we recommend starting at a low amount and working up if the gamer’s overall expenses allow such a change.
Responsible Gaming Means Playing a Wide Range of Games
Online casinos make it easy to play many games. Players at land-based casinos get locked into one or two games and can miss out on the wide range of games offered at Everygame and most online casinos.
Most land-based casinos players play slots or one other game. Here at Everygame Casino, gamers can play many variations of blackjack and video poker plus other fun and interesting table games such as Pai Gow Poker, Tri-card Poker, Caribbean Poker, Sic Bo, and many others.
In addition, Everygame Casino offers European Roulette which has a much smaller house edge than American Roulette which is likely the only roulette game a player can find at a land-based casino in the United States.
Responsible Gamers Understand the Random Number Generator
All modern digital casino games use a random number generator to determine the outcome of every game. There is a common fallacy that has been known for hundreds of years: the Gambler’s Fallacy. This thought states that if an outcome has not happened for a long time, it is a lot more likely to happen soon.
The Gambler’s Fallacy Can Hit at Any Time
Even in games like blackjack, just because an outcome has not happened in a long time does not mean that it will happen soon. In terms of responsible gaming, this fallacy leads some gamers to play for a progressive jackpot because “it is due”. It is not due now any more than it was due an hour, a day, or a month ago.
Roulette players, craps players, slots players, and sports bettors all can fall victim to the Gambler’s Fallacy. Games like Fish Catch and Banana Jones do not seem to suck players into the Gambler’s Fallacy. That is because these games are just on our casino for fun.
There is no big jackpot to win. So, gamers play them for the fun of it. And that is the essence of responsible gaming!
Responsible Gaming Means Never Relying on a Betting System
Betting systems are totally different than strategy. A betting system is a way of betting that its purveyors guarantee will win money for you. They don’t! The most prominent betting system is the Martingale. The grand fallacy in this system is that it ignores the inevitability of losing streaks.
It is true that if you use the Martingale system and you experience no losing streaks, you will win money. But if you have as little as a five game losing streak, the system will ask you to bet a large sum of money just in order to win your original bet.
Sound money management means that most gamers won’t be able to make that extraordinary bet and will therefore lose a lot of money.
Let’s see how a five game losing streak impacts gamers. We will start with a $5 bet. This bet loses and the system’s instructions are to double the bets after every loss.
As an aside, the Martingale system asks gamers to make even money bets even though there are no true even money bets at a casino!
Bet #1: $5 bet loses
Bet #2: $10 bet loses
Bet #3: $20 bet loses
At this point, it should be clear that the system asks gamers to make a $40 bet and, if it wins, the gamer will win $5!
It gets worse with the five game losing streak where the gamer has to bet $160 in order to win $5!
Responsible Gaming Also Means Sometimes Playing in Free Play Mode
One reason to play in Everygame Casino’s free play mode is to become familiar with a game the gamer has not played before. With so many games on offer and with the easy way a gamer can go from game to game, it is certain that gamers will find themselves curious about how to play a game they are not familiar with.
Another good reason to play in free play mode is because the gamer has exhausted his or her reasonable gaming budget and still wants to continue playing. This is another essential element of responsible gaming.
Everygame Casino Offers Great Gaming
As we have said, we offer over 300 great games. We have many variations of blackjack and video poker and a large collection of games rarely seen at land-based casinos. We offer a Welcome Package potentially worth $5555 and many other promotions with great bonuses and often carrying free spins as well.
