Pick games where skill matters
Blackjack with basic strategy and full-pay video poker cost under 1% per bet. Poker against other players can be won over time by a stronger player. Slots, roulette and baccarat reward no skill. Our guide for experienced players compares them.
Bankroll rules
- Keep a separate bankroll in cedis, never money for bills or savings.
- Bet 1% to 2% of it per hand or spin.
- Set stop-loss and stop-win points per session.
- Record every session: date, game, stake, result.
Emotions
Tilt (playing on after a bad loss with bigger bets) is the most expensive habit there is. Stop after a set loss, and take a break before you play again.
Bonuses and new casinos
A bonus with low wagering on games you play can lower your cost; most cannot. Choose casinos whose withdrawal terms suit larger balances, and test them with small withdrawals first.
