How To Gamble On A Budget

Ah, it’s the summer! For many, the season is second only to winter in terms of just how much money we spend on stuff! Every single retailer seems to have a huge summer sale going on (yes, I’m looking straight at you, Steam), so many big movies are either releasing in theaters or on video, and let’s not forget the vacations that everyone’s usually taking around summer time! Put all of this together, and you’ll quickly find that you might be a few bucks short these few months when it comes to that all too precious disposable income. But what if you still want to scratch that all too annoying gambling itch? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there, and there are plenty of tricks you can use to squeeze a few precious hours of gambling without breaking the bank!

Make a Budget

This is the first and most important step – set a budget for yourself! Take into account all of the money that you have available to you (AFTER rent, bills, food, etc) and then decide how much of that you’d like to spend on gambling for the month… And then cut it in half. That’s your budget! My advice to you would be to deposit it to your favorite online casino or, if you’re using several online casinos, to deposit it to PayPal and go from there. Online casino was designed to be addictive, so once that budget is over and done with the temptation to deposit some more for “just one more spin” is pretty great, but you must resist it!

Pick Cheap Games

Not every casino sites are created equal. Some have unbelievably huge entry points for their games, while others have low stakes roulette for as low as 10p. Your job is to find the ones that are okay with low stakes and focus on them. Chances are that unless your casino of choice is some kind of super elitist club (and if it is, then I doubt that you’re going to be having any monetary problems in the first place), chances are you’re going to find at least a few games which have very, very low entry points. Track them down and exploit them!

Find Alternatives to Online Gambling

As I said earlier, it’s very easy to get into the mindset of “Oh, I’ll just deposit a little more”, but try to get it in your mind that once your initial deposit is gone, it’s GONE. That’s it, done, there’s nothing left, bury it! But what if you still want to play casino games? Well, if slots are your thing, there’s lots of phone and tablet apps which allow you to play slots for absolutely free, with some even giving you prizes such as discounts for hotels and stuff. I can’t tell you exactly what those apps are because they’re going to be different for your country, but try to do some research and see what you can dig up! I promise you won’t be disappointed!
