Another Few Responsible Gambling Tips
Can’t stop myself … as soon as I see some responsible gaming tips on the web I have to post it 
There are already several advices on our responsible gaming website … here is some more :
- Plan to Lose : An easy one … always remember that all the money that you place on any gambling table is already lost. Never gamble with money you can’t afford to loose.
- Don’t play when depressed and stressed : Even if I don’t really belive in luck and like to “play the math”, it is true that stressed and depressed players are making bad moves (on poker) and are gambling too much on all other casino games.
- Don’t go chasing your losses : If you are following the first advice .. this one is supposed to be useless. Here is common situation : to get your money back you are going to bet twice as much as you just lost and at the end you’ll loose three or four times what you can afford. …
With all those tips there is only one to remember : Have Fun! and stay away from addictive gamblig.
Suscribe to CommentsBetstopper : No more gambling for children.
The Canadian firm Nova Scotia Gaming Corporation is launching Betstopper a software which blocks access to gambling websites to your children.
I think the best way to desribe the necessity of this software is in their home page : (www.betsopper.ca) :
- Kids don’t belong on online gambling websites – it’s that simple. And ensuring that your kids aren’t exposed to them is as simple as installing BetStopper on your computer. BetStopper blocks access to Internet gambling sites and content, preventing your kids from venturing where they don’t belong. You’ll never know everything your kids are doing online, but with BetStopper, you can know what they’re not doing.
The software is free and seems to have good feedbacks ….
Pilot-tested by more than 250 families in Nova Scotia, the software was provided to these families for free by NSGC as part of its commitment to youth gambling prevention. Results from the pilot test were extremely positive:
- 80% found the software easy to use
- 88% say they are more aware of the risks of online youth gambling
- 78% were motivated to talk to their children about the risks of online gambling
- 92% think BetStopper is an effective youth gambling prevention tool
- 99% believe it is important that NSGC make the software available to Nova Scotian families
