Responsible gambling
Online casino gambling is for adults only (18+ in Great Britain). Gambling is entertainment that costs money, not a way to earn it. Set a budget before you play, use deposit and loss limits, and stop if it stops being fun.

Tools licensed casinos must offer
Licensed casinos offer limit and self-exclusion tools. At LeoVegas, for example, lowering a deposit limit takes effect immediately, while raising one triggers a 24-hour wait (see the LeoVegas review). Use these tools before you need them.
