How much do you spend on gambling per month on average? I spend about $20-30 on average. But I spend it mainly on slots. Thanks to the community, poker brings profit, so $20-30 is an amount I can afford.

Outside poker - Hmmm... less than $10. Using more than that would seem too wild

I think $20 is enough for me. So I set that as my limit. I also rotate the rooms where I deposit, usually $10. This way, I never deposit in the same room two months in a row. However, I don't gamble. I only play poker with my own money.

I normally don't gamble except when I sometimes have the urge to play some blackjack. Between winning and losing sessions, I think I'm about even or down a bit, but nothing alarming because I only bet 50 cents. I'm talking about online, I haven't gambled in a live casino for years.

I spend the same amount of money as you, but the problem is sometimes I let things go too far. It sucks.

I’ve never made a deposit on any site.
I don’t really have a limit. I usually only play $5 or less tournaments, but there’s not a limit on how many or how much.

Obviously not as much as i'd want to
I should imagine total amount varies each month but usually it's over/under 100€ ...

I think for me, gambling is essentially only playing roulette after poker sessions. I wager less than 40€ on average, so the -EV is a little less than 1€. So I'd say, about 5€ per week. That seems about the right amount, pretty cheap hobby.

I spend $0, unless I am given free bets or free spins - then I spend what they give me.

i usually budget around $100 to $150 a month. i try to stick to blackjack or poker where i actually have to make decisions instead of slots. some months i’ll have a good run and not have to deposit at all, but if i bust, that’s my limit. keeping a strict bankroll is the only way to not go crazy with it.
