1) periodically, for example on weekends. But then it is important that this does not happen all the time, because as they say, "the habit is formed from the third time." Therefore, I suggest playing two weekends and then taking a mandatory break. So the probability of getting an obsessive desire to play will be minimal.

2) Spontaneously. In this case, in order to control yourself, you need to allocate yourself a certain amount of deposit and not go beyond it for a certain period. For example, to make it $200 a month. Here everyone will individually come up with a deposit amount based on their earnings and capabilities.

People often choose number one because they are not busy with their routine work on weekends and can relax. This makes them use their free time by playing gambling, although not many spend their weekends gambling. But this is what we encounter most often, whether from our friends or ourselves.

For number two, I think it is correct to allocate a deposit for playing gambling and not exceed it if it has been used for gambling. And if your income is not large, it is better for you to discourage gambling because it can cause you to lose and maybe spend your income just to gamble.

If being practice correctly it can really help to avoid any addictions, you are saving both your time and your money if you can properly balance your engagement into gambling, though it' always easier said than done, as we always at risk when we already enjoying and our appetite in gambling is already increasing.

It's on how you take your responsibility and always minding yourself if you are already exceeding to prevent any harm from happening.

If you still have that control to stop, then it's still good for you not to allow any potential addiction to take place.

To be a responsible gambler, you must be able to train yourself to set limits and apply them well. Without practice, you will not be able to have a responsibility, especially in gambling, where the temptation to continue gambling will come stronger. And if you can't take responsibility for yourself, you will probably keep playing, and over time, you can become addicted to gambling. There is nothing wrong with practicing responsibility in gambling because it is proper and good for us. There are already many gamblers out there who have lost their responsibility and, in the end, will only become gambling addicts. We must avoid this so that gambling does not destroy our lives.
