I no longer gamble online because it is just too much trouble and too many fees for us living in America the Beautiful! Guess if I really felt the need to gamble this way I could find a way to do it but guess I've said "good riddance" to the online casinos at least for the time being - the last several years. I have probably saved myself some money at the same time.
Now I gamble at the B & M's that give something to ME besides a chance to lose money. If I don't get free rooms, freeplay, food, a show, free entry to a slot tournament, (some or all of the above) etc. I don't bother. And when I DO go every other month or so I leave my debit and credit cards at home.
I take only the cash I feel I can lose although this may be a little bit one time and quite a bit the next, it depends on several factors that I won't go into here. Hubby always has his credit cards available for travel exps. and any emergencies, so I don't need mine. He is bored by gambling, so no chance of him using his cards. This way I limit my exposure. I am not a gambling addict, but I know I "ENJOY" the slots a little bit too much so I make sure I don't get into trouble this way. Maybe these strategies will work for someone else who doesn't want to give it up altogether but wants to limit his/her exposure.
