I am providing some of the tips that you should always consider while playing online casino games such as Rummy and Poker:

1. Always start with fix amount of money: You should first decide how much money you want to spend on an online casino game and then stick to it. You should never go beyond your pre-decided pocket limit.

2. Start with small stake games: Small stakes rooms are the best to practice and improve your skills. Besides,  small stakes games help you learn how other players play and react on particular hands. And, even if they beat you, you don’t lose too much to get tensed.

3. Remember you will lose too: In online gaming, it is a fact that you will lose too as you will be competing with world-class Pros. So, if you can’t afford to lose, it is advisable not to play real money games.

4. Learn When to Stop: Earning money through games can be very addictive. So, if you have won enough, then don't get carried away. It might sound weird but set a limit on your winnings too. This way, you will know when to stop betting further. The greed to win more and more can only make you lose a big amount of money.

5. Picking up the right game: Think first about the kind of game you are interested in and where to play rather than going to where the majority is playing. If you are looking for kind of games that require skills, discipline, patience, and learning, then you should go for Online Poker or Rummy. If you want to play games that are easy to learn and test your luck, then you can go for Slots or Teen Patti.

6. Patience & discipline is the key: Make sure you are not under the influence of alcohol or any kind of drug. Games like Poker and Rummy requires extreme focus and mindfulness. One tends to get too emotional or impatient on losing money, and overconfident on winning a few bucks, so it’s better to stay disciplined and attentive all the time so you could make the right decisions.
