Responsible gambling

Play money only, for adults

Everything on Casino Games Simulator is played with virtual chips. You can’t deposit, bet real money, win prizes or cash out, and we don’t link to real-money casinos. The site is still about gambling games, so it’s meant for adults 18 and over.

Nobody beats the house edge

Every real-money casino game is built so that the casino keeps a fixed share of everything bet over time: the house edge. On a single-zero roulette wheel it’s 2.70% of every bet; on many slot machines it’s far more. That share doesn’t care how you feel, what happened on the last spin, or how long you’ve been losing.

• Strategy lowers the price, but in the games casinos offer it doesn’t make you the favorite. Perfect blackjack or video poker play can cut the edge to well under 1%. You still pay it.
• Betting systems don’t change the edge at all. Martingale, Fibonacci, D’Alembert and the rest only change the shape of your results: many small wins, then a rare loss big enough to wipe them out. See it happen in our betting system simulator.
• The past doesn’t predict the next round. Cards are reshuffled, the wheel has no memory, and no number is ever “due”.

Results here also don’t carry over to a real casino: winning with virtual chips says nothing about what would happen with real money. The math behind every figure is on our methodology page.

Signs gambling may be a problem

Gambling with real money may be harming you, or someone close to you, if you:

• spend more money or time on it than you meant to, or than you can afford;
• need bigger bets to get the same excitement;
• go back to win back what you lost (“chasing losses”);
• borrow, sell things or skip bills to gamble;
• hide or lie about how much you gamble;
• feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down;
• gamble to escape worries, stress or low mood;
• see your relationships, work or studies suffer, or people close to you are worried.

The NHS and the US National Council on Problem Gambling explain these signs in more detail, and NCPG has a short self-assessment.

If you gamble with real money

• Treat it as the price of entertainment, never as a way to make money.
• Decide in advance how much you can afford to lose, and how long you’ll play. Stop when you reach either.
• Don’t chase losses, and don’t gamble when you’re upset, drinking, or short of money.
• Use the deposit limits and time-outs that licensed sites offer, or self-exclude (several of the services below do it for free).
