Learn from Others: 5 Common Mistakes in Real Money Gaming

The Money Mash team is heartbroken to see its readers still making silly mistakes in real money gaming and then saying it’s a scam. Don’t throw eggs on us. Yeah, we know it’s rude and unempathetic, but come on! We all know that the scamming thing is not true for all platforms. There are some good ones too (Money Mash, hehe, sorry but we are self-obsessed). You might be facing problems because you are not paying attention to your playing pattern.

Mmm hmmm, there is a playing pattern that is messed up guys and you gotta work hard to make it up to the mark. Why this hard work? Obviously to enjoy gaming more and win real cash prizes more. Don’t worry! It’s not like moving a rock, you just need to closely observe your behavior, keep your heart at a distance, and think like a soldier, attentive to details, and quick to respond.

You know you sound like an idiot, right?

Who are you in my blog?

I’m your colleague.

Oh, Hi!

Explain it well.

Okay, fine. You are so bossy!

1. Selecting Unreliable Platforms

Sobbing Did you know that because of you guys, we get shouted at every day in the office? The other team says that we are not educating our readers enough and that’s the reason they are suffering losses in real-money gaming. Why didn’t we die before listening to this?

Again you are being dramatic. Stop!

Yeah, you’re right. Okay, so the first mistake you have been making is that you are spending your hard-earned money on some shady platforms that don't have a license, the support team doesn’t respond, the game UIs are broken, limited payment options without any company details, and keep on adding the ghastliest things.

“What rubbish, we don’t play on such platforms.” Yeah, this is you. We knew you’d say that. Just zoom out a little bit and see. This is exactly what your current real money game looks like. So, breathe in, breathe out do this:

• Whenever you visit a platform, look for RNG certification, SSL encryption, HTTPS, FIFS certificate, Curacao, MGA, etc. A platform doesn’t need to have all but at least, the first three, and any one of the remaining ones.
• Never, we repeat, never make a deposit your real cash game app doesn’t have UPI, Card, Net baking, and crypto options with proper company details. Don’t send money to a random QR handing on the website.
• If the Games are limited and you are confused navigating through the app, it’s better to switch to another platform. This confusion can distract you from the game, and make things difficult leading to poor performance and loss.

2. Ignoring Terms and Conditions

Remember, we’re talking about activating the detective in you. It means that the details, the proofs, everything is right in front of you, you just need to recognize them at the right time, and to do that, you need a keen eye.

Read the terms and conditions of your real money gaming platform carefully. Even if it takes hours or days, read it. Ignoring them can lead you to greater losses. Suppose, you initiated a withdrawal and somehow it got stuck. What would you think? The platform will take care of it, right? But what if they have mentioned on their terms that they are not responsible? Yes, that’s really problematic.

This is just an example. Reading the terms and policies means that you know what you are being provided, how you are being provided, what you are providing in return, and what they are doing with that information. If any of the terms looks suspicious to you, back off.

3. Overlooking Games and Strategies

Ahm ahm... Here’s the truth. Just because you have played the Ludo board game in your childhood, it doesn’t mean that you are a Ludo expert. It’s hard to digest, but it is what it is. Ludo has strategies too! Can you imagine? We didn’t know about this until we developed a game. So, it’s better not to jump into a game without knowing anything only because it looks easy and familiar.

So, first, educate yourself about a game before investing and playing. Be it Ludo, Rummy, Carrom, or any other. Watch YouTube videos, do a little research about the strategies, and then start playing with minimal deposit. This way, you’ll learn more and won’t lose more.

4. Poor Money Management

Buying a new shirt after you get paid at work is fine, but investing more after you lose a game is stupidity. Here’s what most players do:

“Oh no, I just lost my rummy match. I have a few pennies left. But what if I win this time? Let’s invest.” STOP RIGHT THERE! Who knows whether you’ll win or not? What you should do is stop gaming, get off of your phone or laptop, and move on with your day.

See, losing is fine but spending more each time you lose hoping that you’ll win more is addiction. Real money gaming is gaming, not a job. You are not bound to win. You are here to enjoy gaming that gives you money too and that’s it. It’s a game, treat it like that only.

Best Practices:

• Deposit minimal, if you wanna increase, make sure it is only 5-10%.
• If you lose 2 times, don’t play further.
• If you win, celebrate your winnings no need to invest that all to win more.
• Spend only 30 minutes to 1 hour gaming. If you have nothing to do, get a job.

5. Chasing Losses

It’s the same as what we described above but more intense. Whenever we read cases where people became addicted to gaming, we notice a frequent pattern and that is that they want to recover their losses by investing more. They think that if I invest more and take this risk, I will win and all of my losses will be recovered.

This is what happens when you look at a game as a do-or-die situation. So, you need to understand the psychology first and **Set this rule: “If I win, good, If I lose, that’s also fine. I liked playing games and would love some rewards but reward is not my motive.” ** Read this daily.

Ending Note:

In the end, we just want to tell you one thing: you need to balance between the skill and luck factor in these games. Yes, real money games are mostly skill-based games but still a small amount of luck is there and most people get trapped there.

Use your skills to play the games, not your deposit amount. If you lose, it’s okay but don’t spend more to recover. No need to recover anything, spend less, play games, have fun, win money, and if you don’t win, move on with life. This is what is called responsible gaming. The more you avoid these mistakes, the better your chances of winning will become but again, real money gaming is GAMING NOT LIFE.
