Having a specific budget for gambling is a responsible approach that can help you manage your finances effectively. Here are some steps to create and maintain a gambling budget:

Assess your financial situation: Evaluate your income, expenses, and overall financial obligations. Understand how much discretionary income you have available for gambling without compromising your essential needs and financial responsibilities.
 
 Determine a gambling budget: Set aside a specific amount of money that you are comfortable allocating for gambling activities. This could be a weekly, monthly, or annual budget, depending on your gambling frequency and financial capacity.

 Stick to your budget: Once you have established your gambling budget, it's crucial to adhere to it. Avoid exceeding your allocated funds or chasing losses by borrowing money or dipping into other areas of your finances.

 Prioritize your expenditures: Decide on the areas or types of gambling activities that are most important to you, and allocate your budget accordingly. For instance, if you prefer playing online slots to table games or sports betting, allocate more funds to the former.

 Record your gambling activities: Keep track of your wins and losses, as well as your spending. This can help you stay accountable and monitor your progress towards your gambling budget goals.

 Review and adjust your budget: Regularly assess your gambling budget and adjust it depending on your changing circumstances. For instance, if you experience a period of low income or unexpected expenses, you may need to revise your budget downwards.

Implementing a gambling budget can help you manage your spending and avoid developing gambling-related problems, such as addiction and debt. It also allows you to enjoy gambling responsibly and within your means.

No, I had never experienced any gambling related legal issue. Since I hadn't experienced it, I don't know what could probably caused it.
It could be failure on the part of the gambling platforms to fulfill their own part of agreement. My platform has not in anyway defaulted in its operation. Similarly, it behooves on all gamblers to read all T&C before joining any platform.

I have experienced gambling related legal issue when the police came into a bet shop and arrested everyone including me because an underage boy was seen in the bet shop. We were arrested because as adults, we should have chased the boy away when he came into the bet shop. We paid heavily to bail ourselves.
