Well, the thread is a bit older, but I started online poker (& sports betting) at bwin in 2007.


I also practiced this constantly from time to time, on average it was about 200€ per year divided into several deposits. At some point I lost interest in it.


It wasn't until I discovered an app for poker on the bwin site around 2016 or 2017 (or after a smartphone with the required functions was available) that I "really" started again.
At some point, out of curiosity, I clicked on "Live Casino" and bet 1€ on red in roulette as a test. That's when I noticed that you can actually win in casino games (at that time I saw poker as an exception because you play against an opponent and not against the bank).
Since then I play at least 98% of my gaming activity on my smartphone, and I believe that this fact has significantly influenced my gaming behavior.


In the meantime, the problem with the internet connection shouldn't be that much of a problem anymore (in Switzerland you can even play with the light-speed internet via WLAN on your smartphone).


But there are also dangers in smartphone gaming, these have mainly become noticeable in the live casino. It should be mentioned here, for example, in Liveroulette, a drop of water on the display, which led to the complete available credit being accidentally set at the location of the drop of water (in my case a number). Also with live blackjack I could tell some worst case scenarios. In all live casino games, an erroneously wrong piece size in combination with the time window of the betting period can have bad consequences.


Below are some examples:

The spin with 0.10CHF instead of the intended 100.00CHF remains unforgotten.
