Like any type of leasure, people shouldn't expect to get (much) money out of it.
➡️ Go to the cinema, you leave the place poorer 2 hours later, but you had a great time (usually).
➡️ Buy a video game, you lost 70 €, but damn you will have some good time.
➡️ Play on a casino with a few euros on your balance, as long as you do it for the thrill and with limits one can expect to enjoy the moment even with a balance down to 0.
Being able to maintain limits really is the key with online casino. Know your limits, force yourself to have limits, have fun on the long run, and you will enjoy those rare times where you get rewarded with a win. Just telling people to avoid casinos ain't a real solution as casinos online and physical are still places to have fun with.
