Here at Everygame Casino, we think about your safety all the time. We have written articles on how you can play online casino games safely and about how we keep your money safe while it is on account at Everygame. Here, we will review how you can stay safe at a land-based casino, how we keep your money safe online at Everygame, and then, we will talk about how you can stay safe apart from the casino from Black Friday until the end of the month of December.
Staying Safe at Land-based Casinos
There are many pitfalls that people fall into at land-based casinos. At any time of the year, these pitfalls pop up, but at Christmastime, they pop up even more. Sadly, at holiday time, there are a lot of people who are especially lonely. At all times, there are lonely people wandering about a land-based casino, but this is especially true during the holiday season.
Since land-based casinos give free alcohol, there might be more than the usual number of slightly or more than slightly inebriated people at a land-based casino during the holiday. It is always a good idea to stay away from people who are under the influence, and this advice is even more pertinent at a land-based casino during the holiday season.
The Land-based Pitfall of Time
People who travel to a casino most often commit to a couple or three days at the casino. During the holiday season, many people think that they can win money at the casino with which to buy presents. This is a real pitfall that pops up in the couple of weeks before Christmas.
Even if you never overspend on games at a land-based casino, the extra pressure of Christmas to buy presents can send the most responsible player into the area of gambling irresponsibility.
It is a good rule of thumb from online casino operators, Everygame Casino among them, to avoid land-based casinos altogether, but if you still like going to a land-based casino, please do not do so in December.
Money is Usually Tight During Christmastime
We advise gamers who need money for gifts to play online casinos for real money less during this time. There are good reasons why we offer free play, and this is one of those reasons.
We want you to play at Everygame because, when you have more discretionary money for online casino gaming, you will come back to our online casino, having enjoyed the free gaming you did in December.
Managing Your Money is Priority 1+
Money management becomes paramount at this time. Just as you should do with all of your expenditures on a regular basis, you should be even more accurate and precise in managing your money at this time. The way this added attention to money management applies to online casino gaming is that it might reduce your gaming budget, or you might reduce the average bet you make.
It could mean not playing progressive slots at this time because they require a maximum bet to win the jackpot. Everygame Casino has many slots that have random jackpots, which are a great alternative to progressive jackpots at this time.
Shopping for Christmas Begins on Black Friday
Here we will talk about actual physical safety rather than financial safety. Black Friday is so called because retailers sell so much product, even at reduced prices, that the one day will put them in the black for the year.
So, from a financial standpoint, shopping on Black Friday is a great idea. However, millions of other people have the same great idea, and people have been known to fight physically over a last sale item or to get trampled as the crowds flock into stores at opening.
Our advice is to prioritize your physical safety on Black Friday, even if it means missing out on a sale. We also suggest speaking to the store manager. If he or she can hold some items for you, you won’t have to fight for them. An organized group of shoppers might be able to persuade a store manager to hold items so you and your group can buy them without fighting for them.
We also advise against camping out late at night after Thanksgiving in an attempt to be one of the first in the store. Where it gets cold in late November, it can get very cold. You will be a lot safer in the warmth of your home.
Taking Deposit Bonuses
Let’s return to monetary issues. Taking a deposit bonus is not a safety play, but it is a conservationist play. We offer fantastic deposit bonuses. During the holiday season, you can take a bonus and use that money to fund your gaming. You can expect to take longer to complete the wagering requirement, but that still leaves a lot of the casino’s money in your account for you to play with.
December is a Very Interesting Month
The three holidays that always take place in December are Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanza. Ramadan is a Muslim holy month and is followed by Eid al-Fitr. Because the Muslim religion uses a lunar calendar with no leap years, Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr fall in December every six months or so.
Christmas is, of course, a one-day holiday. But the Christmas season lasts the full month of December and has seeped back into November. A lot of families leave their Christmas lights on even into January. Hannukkah is an eight-day holiday during which people light candles every night, and kids get small gifts every day.
Kwanzaa is a seven-day holiday in which people light a candle every night. This is the youngest of all holiday season holidays and has no specific religious affiliation. As such, it is open to people of all faiths, races, ethnicities, and so on.
Safety is a Must in December
We all want to celebrate one of the holidays with family and friends. Safety is a definite prerequisite to happy celebrations. So, budget your money well, stay at home to play the 400 or so great games here at Everygame Casino, take a deposit bonus to grow your bankroll, find low volatility slots instead of slots with high volatility, play video poker or blackjack according to the best strategy so you can enjoy the high return to player rate in these games, and enjoy the holiday season to its fullest.
