how do you avoid getting addicted when playing at online casinos?

honestly, i get why people say “just play for fun and set limits” but that feels a lot easier to say than actually do, especially with live dealer games. i start out thinking it’s just for the bonuses or to blow off steam after work, but then i catch myself chasing back to back spins on roulette or dumping way too much into a slot just because it “feels close.”

stats wise, i know the odds are stacked and rationally i tell myself to walk away. but then some promo or streak keeps me there. it’s not just about turning off notifications either - sometimes it’s like the game is still running in my head, even when i’m away.

curious if anybody else has tricks that actually work for snapping out of it, besides the obvious “self exclude” move?
