Assessing the portion of your income that you can comfortably allocate to gambling without compromising your essential expenses, savings, and other financial goals is crucial for maintaining financial stability. Here's how you can approach this assessment:

Evaluate Your Essential Expenses: Determine the amount of money needed to cover your essential expenses each month. This includes items like rent/mortgage, utilities, groceries, transportation, insurance, loan payments, and other necessary bills. Calculate the total cost of these expenses.

 Prioritize Savings and Financial Goals: Consider your savings goals and other financial objectives such as building an emergency fund, saving for retirement, or saving for major purchases. Determine the amount you need to set aside each month to make progress toward these goals.

 Calculate Disposable Income: Subtract your essential expenses and savings contributions from your total monthly income. The remaining amount represents your disposable income—the money you have available for discretionary spending, including gambling.

The size of one disposable incomes would determine the amount of money to be allotted into gambling. Before considering gambling cost out of disposable incomes, essential expenditures like savings, investment, payment of utilities bills etc must have been treated. It is out of the balance that certain percentage as the gambling cost could then be treated.

In order to successfully assess the amount to be spent on your gambling after taking care of your basic commitment is to assess your total incomes then remove the cost of your basic needs like payment of utility bills, savings and investment etc, then certain percentage of the remaining balance can now be used for gambling.

I think It is important to establish a budget for gambling and stick to it, never exceeding your allocated amount. It is also recommended to take breaks and limit your time spent gambling to avoid developing addiction or financial problems. Seeking professional help is encouraged if needed.
