For most people (myself included), gambling at online casino's is a harmless pass time fun activity, but of course it can become a problem for many. IMO, to lessen the risk of becoming a problem gambler, there are certain things i bear in mind such as,
- Gambling for Fun - Not to Win Money

- Setting myself a gambling goal
- I Bet small (don't blow all your money at once)
- I practice gambling with friends

- Set time limits and walk away

Many of these are easier said than done of course but it might be worth noting. Online gambling is probably the best thing to happen since sliced bread

and i'm not saying these points could or would work for everyone but they might help in enjoying gambling in a healthy, financially sensible way.
I'm interested to know how you keep tabs and control on your gambling to make sure that one does not become a compulsive gambler or problem gambler. These are all good points but it's hard to keep up and follow, this because in the back of our minds, there is a thought that must strike while the iron is still hot, and there's always a tendency to get back what you lose in the previous, it just goes on and on until you become addicted.
